27 Best American Restaurants near The Plains

“We highly recommend this great little place. We go here and they have great food and great people. Fantastic coffee and love the atmosphere of a small country kitchen. Found out today they offer Athens Co Veterans 2 free meals one day each month. We are not from here but what a great support snd recognition of the service of those who have served our great nation.“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had!“

“My wife and I made a random stop while on a road trip and stumbled onto one of our favorite places in the country. The atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming. The entertainment was amazing. Everything we ordered tasted fantastic, the honey horseradish sauce is the best thing I’ve ever tasted. I definitely know where we will be stopping whenever driving through Ohio. We can’t wait to be back.“

“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.“

“HOW LUCKY ARE THE LOCALS!!! This place is YUMMY!!! Don't go here if you are looking for a healthy plate, but the diner fare is excellent! Suggestions: PICKLE FRIES, house made potato chips, tenderloin, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, onion rings, Country fried chicken It's mostly HOMEMADE, ya'll!!!!!... Delicious!!!“

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

“Me and my bf are camping up the street, I was very skeptical at first, this diner could use a little reno update, but the food was really good. Very hot, casual, feel like you're gma cooked for you and only you-type of feeling. Only one server, but she knocked it out of the park. Highly recommend!“

“First time in this location. (Party of 4) My food was ok. My daughter said her broccoli didn't taste cooked. My youngest daughter had a steak and it wasn't cooked correctly. Other than that it was fine.
Waiter was here and there for the most part for the amount of people in the restaurant. It was also weekend of classes moving in/starting.“

“The Gem of Appalachian Hwy - OH32/Rt50E”

Wife and I was just getting back from a 800 mile LaborDay Weekend Roadtrip, we came thru CincinnatiOH and onto Appalachian Hwy which was a perfect traveling scenic highway to travel toward AthensOH.
Wright before AlbanyOH we started getting a little hungry and it was about Lunch Time, so my Wife started researching Google Maps for place to stop at to have a bite to eat Google Maps pin pointed in on Mammie’s Country Kitchen which she stated im not positive but i believe this may be a Ole Elem. Schl Cafeteria, we was both little excited to head back to school after 40yrs (lol).
Once arrived to location sure enough it was a Ole Schl Cafteria, just awesome!!, we entered thru doors and it was just as nothing had been changed (Step back n Time) seen the walls of lockers and walls.
We entered thru the doorway of Cafeteria / Mammie’s Country Kitchen and was met by the Hostess/Waitress she was so very nice with a great appearance and attitude.
She took our orders which was (2- Hamburgers with each Crinkle Fries & our desserts was a Pie each) the food was cooked to perfection and brought out to our table within 10–15minutes it all tasted Delicious and it the Spot just what we needed to finish out our travel.
While setting there waiting for our orders to be brought out to our tables gave us time to look around at the Cafeteria which had the looking of a Ole Schl Cafeteria that had the Chalkboard, Old Seats and etc, defiantly do not change a thing here its perfect for us all ole timers.
This is a Restaurant you do not want to pass up defiantly make a stop here, we defiantly plan stopping here when we are headed back west / east from now on.

Parking: Pull wright up to Front of School Doors and Mammie’s Country Kitchen, there is also medium size Parking Lot and Sidewalks n Steps are in good shape as well.“

“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.“

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

“Would like to say that everything about our night was speedy. from getting seated to getting our meals. Everything was absolutely superb. And would like to give a huge shout out to our waitress Olivia. She was absolutely amazing, and she really showed that she cared about her patrons. She was definitely one of the better waitresses we have had in a long while. Keep it up Athens Ohio Texas Roadhouse!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food always!!! And Jasper (kids) eats free on Wednesday! �“

“The employees were just standing around talking as we stood there waiting to be searved. The kitchen workers just stared at us and did not notify anyone we were waiting One kitchen employee would walk out to watch baseball that was playing on the TV.. The menu was crappy with little to choose from. The floor was sticky as well. We did not get any utensils sauces or crackers with our order. Nobody came to ask if we wanted refills or to even see how our meal was. I would not have left a tip if I paid at the end of our visit.“
