50 Best American Restaurants near Stow

“We had an excellent dinner and fantastic service. Our server was attentive, thoughtful, and thorough. We enjoyed watching the wildlife just outside the window of our booth. The charm and small town feel is icing on the cake. The level of care for something as simple as taking the rest of our food to go is something you just don't see that often. Highly recommend stopping in or ordering some food to go!“

“This is not your average Applebee’s. Every time I come in, the food, service, and atmosphere are top tier. Huge shoutout to Kelly, Noah, Jeremy, Alivia, Maddy, and Kyle, they are absolutely killer behind the bar and out on the floor. They make the place feel welcoming, fun, and well-run every single time.
The servers are attentive, the bartenders are on point, and the food comes out great. You can tell this team actually cares about the guest experience. Definitely one of the best Applebee’s locations I’ve been to. Highly recommend.“

“Ordered beer. Price not anything close to what was on menu and wall poster. Been to Mike's for decades Very disappointed. Probably won't be back. Sad to see false advertising.“

“We were a party of six for dinner on a Saturday evening. From greeting by host to the time we left everything was perfect. It had been raining on and off all day and had just recently stopped and host offered to accommodate our outdoor reservation request by setting up the patio for us. Despite being extremely busy, service was wonderful! Food was delicious…hummus appetizer was so good! We thoroughly enjoyed the surf and turf, burger & fries, chicken shawarma and crispy salad entrees. I would love to see the falafel make a comeback. This was our first visit since the new owners took over. They have made a number of changes and rebranded - all very nicely done. We will certainly be back!!“

“My sisters and I went to eat last night for the first time, definitely going back! The food was fantastic, the owner and his waitress were so kind and such lovely people. The ribs fell off the bone and the sides were delicious. So yummy!“

Our go to place for Perch.“

“Went with my In-laws this past Friday. The parking was awkward making it difficult to exit to the front of the building. The food, drinks and service were top notch. However, I thought the 3% up charge for using a credit card vs cash to pay the bill was a bit petty due to the already inflated menu prices. This left me wondering; why the owner thought it was more important to cover their $5 cost at the expense of me returning again?“

“LaCole took on my New Year's Day luncheon with very limited notice from me. However, even with the short time to prepare, she knocked it out the park. She had a menu for me within hours, very professionally put together. On the day of, she came in plenty of time to setup...and The FOOD was beyond my expectations. My guest raved about evey dish. LaCole is top tier and I am grateful to have a Chef and Caterer like her to call on!“

“Great experience - haven’t been here in a few years as we have been wanting to come back since we moved into the area. Our server Jonathan was stellar and attentive - he and the staff were on top of my wife’s treenut allergy as well.

Food was incredible and the drinks (Bourbon Espresso Martini) fantastic. This is our new favorite spot in Hudson.“

“Hele aardige mensen en lekker gegeten!! Aanrader“

“Anything I've ever tried off the menu here has been delicious. They have specials for each day and I recommend trying the special of the day. Also they make great drinks ! I recommend the Jamaican Mule, I get it every time, it's delicious. Food wise you can't go wrong. The owner throws down in the kitchen, especially with the seafood and burgers. Talk about good seasoning, everything's seasoned delightfully. My favorites so far are the Shrimp Quesadillas (Tuesday is quesadilla day) , their Summit Lake fries and every Friday is fish Friday with a great deal on yellow tailed perch fried to perfection. This place is tastier than any sit down restaurant in the area trust me. 10/10“

“Stopped at Papa Joe's for a late lunch while on a bus trip from the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. There were 46 of us and the chicken parmesan was do moist and tender. we are were served in a timely manner. It was hot and delicious plenty for everyone to have a full belly. It is well worth the stop. No wonder Diane puts it on her itinerary when her trips are nearby. The staff were all very attentive to all our needs.“

“I love this place. They make the food as soon as you order it so it is always fresh. I always get the chicken pita with grilled peppers & mushrooms, lettuce, tomato and gyro sauce. I love that you can get a side of fruit, pineapple instead of chips. I highly recommended this place.“

“Nice service and good food.“

“Love to stop in for quick bite or a fun drink. Happy Hour is the best. The patio and deck are great in warmer temps. Great craft beer list.“

“Food was really good, but the service was even better! We had the privilege of having Gracie wait on us and she was super nice, and patient as she answered all our questions. If I were to recommend one thing, I say go for the onion rings! Fresh, hot, crunchy and not greasy at all. It's definitely a place we will be coming back to.“

“Everything about Rockne's was great!!! The food was DELICIOUS, the portions were generous, and the prices were very fair. Even though we were in no hurry our food came out super quick. Aside from great food, our waitress was PHENOMENAL!!! She took great care of us. We will definitely be stopping back again.“

“Great experience with Hudson’s Catering this weekend! 80th birthday party for my Mom with family coming in from all over OH and PA. Kevin made it easy, picking the menu, delivering the food and setting it up. The food was fantastic and rave reviews from all the guests, especially the Chicken Romano, the green beans and the cinnamon fruit dip. Highly recommend!“

“Love that they always have a unique group of 10-12 beers on taps and that you can also select your wine for dinner from the racks lining the wall at retail pricing and a nominal corkage fee. This is a great place to drop in for a drink and appetizer after work, a casual dinner or a business dinner. Highly recommended.“

“Very intimate rustic setting, good food selection, interesting craft beer selection and bottles of all your favorites. The big shout-out is the after dinner drinks on the dessert menu ♥♥♥ As someone would prefer a beverage to a cake, I appreciate this a ton! Highly recommend, great food, great setting and friendly staff.“

“Loved this place...my family had many trips to Arthur Treachers since the 60's. Still great food and service!?“

“I’ve been there a few times with my family. The atmosphere and service were impressive, and outstanding. During our experiences there we had Andrea as our waitress. She was very attentive, prompt and always had a smile on her face. She was very friendly and it was apparent to me she really loved her job! I would strongly recommend Wally Waffle and don’t forget to ask for Andrea!“
