18 Best American Restaurants near Nelsonville

“Absolutely love Tammy’s! Nice size portions, friendly wait service, great prices. Best country diner I’ve ever ate at. Very busy little place, which means good food.“

“Stephen and Luke were awesome!!!“

“Fresh delicious and balanced!“

“Took my father out for breakfast this morning and had the nicest server. She was super friendly and had a great recommendation on what to get. I had the breakfast burger and dad had the biscuit stack. The food was great and very generous portions. When we left, Dad forgot his cell phone on the table. We only knew that because our server came running out of the door as we got to our vehicle. Unfortunately, I didn't remember her name but we are very thankful and will definitely be back.“

“This was our first visit here. The food was great, the prices were reasonable, the restaurant staff were absolutely the best and the atmosphere was fun. It’s too bad we live 3 1/2 hours away because this place could easily become our regular breakfast spot!“

“The food, the servers, the atmosphere, all amazing. I can be a food snob, and Purple Chopstix is one of the best places I have ever eaten.“

“What a great little place! Great food, and fun times.“

“Always love visiting Jackie O’s when I visit my son in Athens! Great food, great beer, great atmosphere, and great service!“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had!“

“Everything was fantastic. The atmosphere is fantastic, the food is amazing, the outside patio where we played music is a great spot for people to hangout. The sound engineer was easy to work with and provided a great mix and sound for the patio setting. The alcohol selection was enormous, and all the servers and bartenders were friendly and quick. Definitely somewhere I will be going back to with the family to eat and somewhere our band High Valley Ramblers are looking forward to returning to play!“

“Amazingly good. Support local businesses!“

“Mayberry Corner! Great food and drinks too!!“

“I will always support this business and the owner! thank you for showing love to our disability awareness March ❤️❤️“

“I spent a night going around to all the bars around uptown Athens and found that The Union is where all the queers and indie folks hang out (which is exactly my kind of place). Also, their bathroom has fancy toilet paper, like charmin or somethings. Love this place. Also the bartender rendell is very kind.“

“Alright, buckle up, because I'm about to drop some truth bombs about the one, the only, Madisyn at Red Brick Tavern!

First off, let's be real, Madisyn isn't just a bartender; she's a wizard with a shaker. I swear she can tell what kind of day you've had just by looking at you and then whip up a potion, I mean, a cocktail, that's exactly what you need. It's like she has a sixth sense for stressed-out souls and thirsty patrons.

But wait, there's more! It's not just the drinks, it's the whole vibe. Madisyn manages to create an atmosphere that's both chill and buzzing with energy. One minute you're relaxed, sipping your drink, and the next you're laughing at some ridiculous joke she cracked. Seriously, I'm convinced she moonlights as a stand-up comedian.

And let's not forget the most important thing: she remembers your name and your drink. That's right, in a world where everyone's a face in the crowd, Madisyn makes you feel like a regular. So, if you're ever in Red Brick Tavern, do yourself a favor and pull up a stool. Just be prepared for amazing drinks, killer jokes, and maybe a little bit of magic. You won't regret it!“

“First timers and the food and atmosphere was great!“

“Please make an effort to cover the other brick walls in the same coating you have in the new part of the bar, because the writing everywhere else in the bar indicates that this action is okay. Some skinny dude with a tribal tattoo on his calf and a scruffy mustache threw my sharpie outside yesterday because he “caught” us writing our names on the walls. It’s everywhere in the bar, so I don’t think the staff should be trained expect drunk college student not to do it. This guy was just on some sort of power trip and wanted to be rude. He very easily could’ve just asked us not to do write on the walls, and we would’ve respected that. Like I said, the wall in the new part of the bar with that coating on it is free of sharpie/can easily be cleaned, so maybe consider doing that on ALL the walls to avoid your staff making stupid decisions like this one in the future. Thanks!“

“My first time visiting Broneys, and they had a burger deal I couldn't pass up. Burger and fries were good, I'm relatively easy to please. I may try their chips or onion rings next time, it is nice to have options. The burger was way better than any fast food place. I was there at quiet time, I admittedly go uptown more when school is not in session.“
