50 Best American Restaurants near Wadsworth

“We went on a Friday night and it was very busy so we were sat upstairs. It was quieter upstairs so it was easier to talk. Bartenders Sean and Audry were great. She recommended the Ricotta Red pizza w/cauliflower crust, fabulous suggestion. Food came out fast and hot. It has a very nice atmosphere with a good selection of beer. Audrey was knowledgeable about the beer. Sean was great to talk with.“

“We are a *BIG* family... and some days are hard. Tonight after days of being sick and 3 of our littles going out to eat after wrestling, I can promise I wasn't in the mood.... for anything. But God sent the sweetest stranger to give me a pep talk and proof that all of humanity hasn't gone down the drain!
You know who you are and just thank you so much for your understanding and kind note... Lord knows I needed that.
I will forever say that the Wadsworth Applebee's is one in a million!“

Her 50th birthday party was absolutely amazing. I can’t say enough about the food, the service and most of all Chef Anthony. We couldn’t have picked a better place to hold her party. From the menu all the way down to the little details everything was perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. TCP“

Lots of options on the menu, food wasn't that great ; probably a step up from bar food, was disappointed. Staff was friendly and service was fast. Overall atmosphere was great. Sidenote: Ranch is nasty.“

“Love this place. Great food and drinks!“

“SO DELICIOUS 😋 WE LOVE WINKING LIZARD !!!!“

“The wife and I made a day trip to Akron to pick up something and thought we’d stop in for breakfast. Very friendly staff. Seated promptly and the waitress reviewed the specials and let us look at the menu for a minute. The owner came out and talked about some of the specials and brought us a sample treat. We ordered a couple of the eggs Benedict daily specials (one was the classic and the other was corned beef). We upgraded the hash browns to Mystic potatoes (cheesy hash browns). Everything was delicious! The cheesy hash browns were phenomenal and the Benedicts were both very good. My wife also got some pancakes which were cooked perfectly! There was enough food to bring some home for tomorrow! Highly recommend!“

“This place really does have it all. My husband and I have been coming here for years, and we also got married here!!! Always great food, always great service. The patio is stunning in all seasons. And now they're doing concerts and fun activities like yoga and mini golf for the kids! It really warms my heart to see all the positive upgrades they're making. Blue Heron, you have fans for life. Keep it up!“

We ordered some specialty drinks and were delighted with taste and presentation. Everything and everyone made our evening special, calm, cozy and inviting.“

“The food is good and above average but keep a tight eye on the bill . Not everyone has to , but every single time we go there our bill is higher than what it should be . It's almost like they are trained to make it more . As if them prices aren't already steep for what you . Small portion too .“

“They so of the best hash browns in my opinion“

“On December 29, 2025, I enjoyed breakfast at First Watch on W. Market St. in Fairlawn, Ohio. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the staff truly stood out. My waitress, Debbie, was a ray of sunshine on a freezing day. Her warm and genuine smile made me forget about the cold outside. She was incredibly attentive, checking in to ensure my meal was perfect and asking if I needed anything else. Debbie is not just an asset to First Watch; she embodies the spirit of exceptional service.“

“Great staff owners treat you like family. Love them all“

“Good food good prices. Will be a redo“

“Best breakfast ever in Mayfield mostly because of the 'ray of sunshine' we had for a waitress,ZITA! Go sit at a table she serves. You will leave ready to take on the day!“

“New to the area and never been. Went on a fish fry Friday. Got a table quick on a busy night. Food and service was fast. Food was good for a local place. Hosts were a little brash. My other half did get splashed by the staff cleaning the table next to us. Will try again.“

“Definitely a great place to eat! Food is amazing and the staff are wonderful!“

“We just left here with a very large party of nearly 20 after my father’s funeral. I can’t say enough about the level of service we experienced from our waiter (believe his name was AJ), waitress and manager. It was truly second to none and the food as always was fantastic. We’ve been to many Longhorns and were honestly blown away by how great an experience we had. Thank you again 😊“

“Fast and professional service“

“Food portions and the food was excellent! There were clothes on tables on half and the bar side with seating outside also. Didn't expect cloth tabletops but if that's your goal for the night that's cool. The bar/tavern side is def cool. Service was pretty good. Server took a while to let us know the seasonal beers on tap but overall the service was good.“

“Great food and service, I have always gone here, now my son works as food prep, the owner treats him so well. Makes me even happier to be a patron. Tyler the bartender is super friendly and makes great cocktails!“

“Salmon was delicate and deliciously prepared. Take home pork chops were tender although a bit salty. I was never inclined to eat at a Steakhouse restaurant since I am a non meat eater, but I would return after being pleasantly surprised that my Salmon meal was prepared well.“

“The food there is delicous. The staff is always pleasant and quick to prepare your order. Devon is a great manager and a huge asset to your company.“

“Absolutely love this tea room. First visit today, but already planning future visits. We had 2 children in our party and they have the most delightful, whimsical child friendly room with toy high chairs for dolls, a dress up area with fancy hats and tiaras. Food and service are both exceptional. Highly recommend.“

“I put 4 stars for service, but only because the servers are tending tables and the bar. I know they bust their butts and we appreciate them! I would like to see faster service for tables, but again, I understsnd. Great people, atmosphere. Prices went up over the years , but that is everywhere. Still worth a membership! We go often! Great specials 🩷“
