50 Best American Restaurants near South Lebanon

“The waitress must've forgot what I ordered because everything came at different times. I'm not even sure she was the same girl who took my order so I didn't give her a hard time. Food was good. All in all was a good enough experience.“

“Excellent food and service. Big portions and good prices.“

“My husband and I visited and had dinner for our anniversary. Our server Steve was absolutely wonderful! Very entertaining and knowledgeable about the inn. Atmosphere, food and service were impeccable. We cant wait to return for a stay.“

“Celebrated my birthday with Gluten Free Donut Holes🙌🙌 So good! The staff was so friendly, the food is always delicious!“

“Thank you so much for accommodating our large group of 12! Bucks is our FAVORITE Thursday night supper spot but we never considered hosting a family celebration there because of space and timing. The Bucks staff and owner made it all work, seating our party as they came, serving those of us who were early with appetizers, and AS ALWAYS, delicious food. The perfect atmosphere for our daughter’s birthday (who has been a Bucks fan for years).“

“Best breakfast place in the area. Coffee is awesome and the service cannot be beat!“

“We were heading for the Breakfast Club but they were packed and we didn't have time to wait. This restaurant was just minutes away, so decided to try. 2 police cars were parked outside, and you know they know the best places to eat. No step entry, which I appreciate. Food prices are crazy. $3.50 for biscuits and gravy, $1.50 for one HUGE yummy pancake. Waitress was very friendly and kept the coffee coming. I highly recommend
Please note it's cash only, with ATM onsite.“

“Super fast and amazing service. The waitress we had was on point. Food was yummy and affordable. The place had a cute aesthetic and was clean.“

“This was a very nice place to have lunch at. The chicken tenders were delicious and my folks liked their burgers. But I was disappointed in the Andes avalanche custard. They didn’t have any of the mint candy for it. They did offer an alternative but I wasn’t that interested in it.“

“We loved the Beer Battered Fried Pickles, the Garlic Parmesan Boneless Wings were awesome, and my daughter's jaw dropped when she saw the size of the Pretzel appetizer! Large portions and everything was great. Our server was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.“

“I am admittedly not easily impressed, but my son and I had a great experience all around tonight for a quick bite. From the greeting when we walked in, our server Matthew and the food everything was spot on. Tables were being cleaned as people left, the bartenders were wiping down the station, the food came out hot and cooked properly, the employees having a genuine smile. I can honestly say that it was a better experience than I have had at some of the most high end expensive restaurants in Cincinnati. Keep up the great work! Thank you we will definitely be back.“

“We had a delicious meal last night in the Middletown, OH store and also bought a Christmas gift. Will continue to go back😄“

“This is a wonderful cafe in Lebanon. The food rivals the best in town. I always get whatever soup is on the menu with some of the chef’s homemade bread to start!!“

“The food was reasonably priced & tasted good. Our server was polite & prompted. I has a reservation & we were able to get seated half a hour before our reservation (which was great) I'll definitely return. I really loved the lake that was on the side of the restaurant.“

“Our waitress was Rhianon, and she was absolutely fantastic! Food was great, and service was awesome. Highly recommend the filet mignon and New York strip!“

“Went for ice cream this evening. We are new here and loving the drive through desserts. Cole took our order. Service was above and beyond from being served by Cole until we received our ice cream. The pupcup just top it off perfect!“

“Stopped in today for Brunch, everything was amazing as always! Maeve was the bartender and I could see she had some guests that thought they were the only people who mattered. She smiled and was very professional. I tip my hat to her for having to deal with entitled people and not even flinch! We always try to get out to Loveland for brunch whenever possible. The staff is wonderfully knowledgeable, food is always delicious, and let us not forget the remarkable cocktails! They even have tasty ones for those who do not drink alcohol! I have to say Tano is my go to place!“

“Faith Restored hallelujah!!! I’ve been coming to this establishment for years and never had a problem I had to leave a bad review until last visit. I was angry and upset and just did it. My 80ish old Mother in law wanted to go for her birthday so I gathered the entire family and I gave it another try. So glad I did.
We actually had the same waitress as last time. She was night and day and did a great and professional job. I ordered the apps and man did I choose the right ones. The kids love the pretzels and I wanted to try the loaded Saratoga chips. When she came back with them I was beyond amazed by the quality and quantity. If you’ve never had their homemade chips you’re missing out. They should market these , sell these in stores. They are light, fresh and the taste is out of this world !! The beer is always icy cold and delicious. We all tried something different this time and everyone was super satisfied. I don’t think a visit to a restaurant could’ve been any better. I know every person and every restaurant has a bad or off kind of day. I want to apologize for being angry and giving you a bad review. Nobody is perfect. Your reply was very professional and you even offered to pay for my meal. You’re back on the map for taking my entire family out when we’re remotely in the area. Appreciate your restaurant and the team that supports it. ❤️“

“Great food, great prices, fantastic atmosphere, service is excellent and everyone there goes the extra mile! Thank you for making it so enjoyable!“

“I adore this place! They prepare delicious dishes, their menu is large, The chief cook in that place is a real pro, I love very much eating all their dishes. The dishes are consistently fresh and tasty, the service towards the customers is very good too. I visit often this place and I not even once was unhappy. Highly recommended.“

“Went here for a date night and left so full and happy!! Our server, Jenny, took such good care of us. It was nice to have the menu and specials explained to us in details and got a lot of recommendations from her, too. We ordered the crab cakes, mussels, lamb rack, their steak and crab special for the night. Everything was cooked to perfection with right seasonings and temp. We really enjoyed the special-the filet mignon was soooo tender and the crab was sweet! It was cool to have a candle lit butter and Cajun spiced lemon on the side for the crab. We were so stuffed at the end but couldn’t help but get dessert to go. The crème brûlée NY cheesecake is SUCH a treat and I’m so glad we got it. Service was 10/10, would recommend everyone to go here for nicer dinners.“

“First time eating here. I had coffee, orange juice, pancakes, and sausage And some fruit and it was excellent. Grace, my server was generous with the love and hospitality that she showed to all the patrons. Thank you to The entire team for a warm start to a chilly morning! Keep up the good work!“

“Best Onion Rings in the area. The sweet potato fries were delicious (crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside). Great service from Luciana.“

“Quatman’s is the home of the best Cheeseburger - The team is friendly which makes it a great place!“

“The burgers and tots here are amazing! I'd highly recommend those. The Three Little Pig Sliders are good but you don't get enough pulled pork on them. This place has a good diverse menu though and a great place to sit in and eat to beat the heat. I'd recommend this place.“

“In town for a soccer tournament and decided to check this place out. The staff was very welcoming, service was quick(even with being understaffed), and food was good. We will definitely be back when we are back in town for another soccer tourney.“

“My family was very happy with our take-out food from Mezedes. It was delicious and the portions were large. My gyro, for example, had an amazing amount of meat on it. The menu is varied, so we’re looking forward to returning to Mezedes to try some of the other delicious food there.“

“This is a great little Greek place near Berns Nursery off Cincinnati Dayton Rd.
Great gyros, tasty Greek salads with Feta cheese and house dressing. And if course Baklava! Try their spaghetti, soups, burgers and other sandwiches. Only open till 7pm so come early and feast!“

“I had the opportunity to try Turkeys R us and really enjoyed the food. The mac and cheese, greens and smoked wings were delicious. The services was great and the staff was very friendly. I would recommend my friends and family try Turkeys R us. Amazing food and the prices are practical.“

“This place has delicious food and we love the laid back atmosphere that’s family friendly too. Our favorites are the kale Caesar, wings, and the fries are really tasty too. We drive 30 minutes for this place- it’s that good! The beer at LBC is always enjoyable too. I definitely recommend checking our Ladder 41!“

“Really enjoyed our meal here. A nice American food style restaurant for familiesor couples. A good variety to choose from. Friendly and attentive service. Reasonably priced with good portions. The food tasted great. A good variety on the drink menu too.“

“We got great service and good food. Much better than it has been in the recent past.“

“I don't eat out very often, but have always enjoyed the service and quality food at First Watch. This morning I asked the hostess to check the balance on my gift card. Due to a systems problem, she couldn't do this, nor could they accept my gift card in payment for my meal. (Not a problem) When my friend and I paid and prepared to leave, the hostess gave me a First Watch gift card "to make up for the inconvenience". These folks know how to do Customer Service. Also - hope you are able to remove the nonsense posts that appear among your reviews.“

“Stopped in after a Reds game to get dinner with my wife on our way back to the KOA Campground nearby. Clare had our table and was a great server! Frequent visits to the table, very cheerful, and served us a fantastic steak sandwich. Draft beer was cold and clean taste. And they have Keno. My kind of place, I will be back the next time I’m in the area 😁“

“excellent food and service 👌“

“Hands down, my favorite restaurant! I love the large menu and their ranch dressing is the best (made in house and I almost always get a side of it for fries). Lots of beers on tap and a large bar for cocktails. We have had graduation parties, birthday celebrations and many enjoyable conversations here. What I look forward to every year is their support each October for Breast Cancer Awareness and Fundraising. As a survivor, I am grateful for this effort. They do it for other fundraising needs as well. Silver Spring House is a little bit vacation and a lot of bit family!“

“Had dinner there on Saturday 4/12/25. Our server, Carley was absolutely awesome! Carley was fun, informative and very attentive. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful!“

“We used Road House Grill & Catering for our Milwaukee Power Tool Pre-Black Friday Sale! They had amazing food & service. The staff was absolutely amazing & so Friendly! All of our customers were raving about how great the Breakfast loaded tots were, the gravy they had one it was the best sausage gravy I personally have ever had. The burgers were cooked to perfection with some yummy toppings. You can tell they put their hearts into making each meal they created. I would VERY VERY Highly recommend booking this amazing food truck at any of your local events. You will NOT be disappointed!“

“I had the Texas sausage egg and cheese sandwich. It was delicious. Usually I don't like hard fried eggs Cas it's too hard. But Cory fried it perfect. Emily was out server and she was excellent. Promptly filling drinks and taking away dishes. Both were polite and professional. Definitely an asset to your team. Just the two of them were running the entire place.“

“This is a GREAT PLACE!! I have special diet needs and Mike and his staff have happily made any adjustments I needed and been happy to do so!! They have MORE than earned my continued business for years to come! This is my GO TO restaurant!! Best place in the area!!!“

“super chill bar with security. good food fast drinks. all around great people. trouble makers will be tossed as you can see in angry people complaining about getting kicked out.“

“Staff was super friendly. Welcomed me and told me all about their business, of hand shredding cheese, chili from scratch and coleslaw from scratch. Chili is delicious, cheese is fresh and buns aren’t stale. Thanks guys!“
