39 Best American Restaurants near South Point

“We will not be returning to eat there. Soft serve chocolate hasn't been available to customers in 2 months. we were told the machine has been broken. Hotdogs, hotdog sauce and cheese very low grade....Vietti, would've been better! Although, I'm Pretty sure it was Vietti. Fried mushrooms that were burnt, dried up mushroom inside of all 6 of them. Ranch dressing tasted old or stale. Husband's ice cream, Butter pecan, had an eye lash it!! It also tasted freezer burnt as well. We want to support local business, but this is not acceptable anymore.“

“First time eating inside the restaurant. 10/10 from the time I walked in the door. Greeted by the friendliest gentleman who helped me decide on baked steak, mashed potatoes, kale & cornbread. Everything was delicious, hot & fresh. Took home the best piece of red velvet cake. Server was knowledgeable, helpful and very polite to everyone who was in there. Will definitely go out of my way to eat here more often.“

“Had dinner at Pappy's Cookin' today for the first time. Pretty awesome place. I had fried shrimp and fries and Heather Hoptry-Queen had blackened chicken breasts. Food was great as was the service. Staff was friendly, attentive, and accurate. The portions. Wow. Neither of us could finish the whole thing and boxes were needed. Will def go back and def recommend it. Good home cooking style food. ❤️“

“We were visiting from Cincinnati and our hotel was right across the street. We came in for the video games, and I'm so glad that we did! I didn't get to try the beers, since I had to drive, but our food was fantastic. Delicious, good-sized wings... huge sandwiches... addictive fries. Our server was ridiculously patient with us (various members of our group kept wandering away to play arcade games, so it took us a WHILE to decide what we wanted). We'll be back next year🤞“

“Hi there! We tried to leave a review on the website, but it kept rerouting to another location. This is for the Rt. 60 Ashland, KY location. Our daughter loves Waffle House and we make a point of it to go once a week. Kay has been our server each time we’ve visited and we wanted to say that she is a shining light. She is friendly and kind to us and other customers. She has made a point of it to leave a beautiful, encouraging note on our ticket each time & I’ve observed her taking a moment to write other customers a kind note as well. I’ve attached a picture of said note. There is so much tearing down & negativity around us, and I believe that we rise by lifting others. Kay is a special example of this & the world could use more people like her. I hope someone in management or corporate sees this & acknowledges her in the best way. Thank you for reading & have a wonderful day!“

“Antonio was a great server!“

“Delicious food! We eat here all the time.“

“Great food, nice atmosphere, one of the few places open on Sunday evening in Ashland where you can get food. Quick service we both did wings and a soup. I had the chili and 10 wings with split with dry coating and wet coating. Both were very tasty and the wings were cooked right! Would I eat here again? Yes. Maybe try something else as the menu is very good. We walked there so I don't know about parking for sure but I think there is a lot that is available.“

“Good service, super friendly people. And truly helpful“

“In town for the weekend and wanted steak, Longhorn was close to hotel. Only about a 15 min wait on a busy Saturday night, I guess several things going on this weekend l. Excellent service and food. Next time in Ashland we will definitely visit again.“

“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“I have eaten there since i was a little girl . Never had bad service .“

“Good service, super friendly people. And truly helpful“

“Washington Ave Captain D’s always aims to please and they definitely do just that! Hot food, fast service, and everyone was so friendly! My family will def be back!“

“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“

“Great food. Great wait staff“

“We went to Cheddars this afternoon and received the absolute best service we have ever had. Friendly, funny and fast moving. Her name was Calliope (Poppi)
The food was spectacular. This has become our favorite restaurant in our area.“

“Stoped at this bob evans today for a quick bite to eat and as soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile and immediately sat to a table and asked what I’d like to drink about 5 min later put my order in and in no time had my food! Which was delicious! The tall cook with the red hat really made my food amazing! And this is the 3rd time coming in while he has been there he is definitely one of the outstanding cooks there!! Erica the server was so attentive and made me feel at home Definitely will be coming back!“

“Great food, great place! Employees are great and had a hard time rsting service a 2. Until something is done about the hostess named Nikki. Her attitude, her demeanor needs checked. It's sad when you describe your experience with her with other friends and everyone describes her to a tee. Picking up an online order is a nightmare.“
