50 Best American Restaurants near Whitehall

“MCL Cafeteria is an awesome place! I totally recommend this restaurant. Not only is the food great, but the care and attention that the staff paid towards my nephew who is on the spectrum when he came to pick up his food was overwhelming. Johnny was so warm and nice and always asked how he was doing, and if they were out of something that I ordered from Cleveland, OH, she always had something else to recommend. She is just FABULOUS. Thank you all so much!“

“Friends and I went out for a fun time at Forty Deuces and it was phenomenal. We had VIP seats and hats off to the servers that checked on us regularly through the night and attended to our needs before we even realized we needed anything. Also for the venue, dancers, and band. Wow! You all clearly work so incredibly hard and it’s great to see it come together as a show. I look forward to future visits.“

“Excellent fishtail sandwich.
Best fries ever!!
Service is outstanding!!
Very friendly.
My 2 complaints:
1.) I didn't have room to eat but a 1/4 of my fish & took it home to warm later & my son found it & eat it all!!
By the way he said it was delicious too.
Then:
2.)Their fries were magnificent!!
Perfectly done, crispy yet creamy inside.
Ketchup is a slap in the face to these golden gems.
My new #1 spot in columbus ohio!!
Ran my some super nice southern folks who can sure cook!!
Thanks & we will be back!!“

“I love The Pearl and everyone who works there! I come almost every Thursday for oyster night - and they are always so friendly and wonderful to me. Not only that - I released my first music single and they celebrated with me! The food is incredible - don't walk here RUN for a good time and amazing food.“

“The green goddess cocktails are to die for — i dream about them. i also had the grilled cheese and tomato soup platter which was delicious. my server Macy was amazing— seriously one of the best waitresses i’ve had in a long time and always was at our table ready, and brought us things before we even knew to ask for them. She was so great!“

“First time eating there after reading so many great reviews. They weren’t wrong. Love the food and friendly service“

“We arrived during happy hour- able to get lamb chops, toasted ravioli and bruschetta- the bruschetta had too much red pepper flakes- they ended up comping that. Cocktails were $5 and were delicious. Few small bobbles in timing but really weren't a big deal.“

“The sweet potato crockpot.“

“The waiter was excellent. The food was good, just not enough. It would have been perfect if they had provided bread or a choice offering from the menu. All the excellent sauces are naturally melded from the pasta, and there is nothing to soak up the flavorful sauce. It was a missed opportunity. The cocktails were meh.“

“The place has a smell, like downtown Philly. That's the only reason I can't give it a 5. The food is simple food that's simply amazing. I had the pork sandwich fries and the side salad. Enjoyed every single bite (except the coleslaw).“

“I live in the neighborhood and stop in once in awhile for a drink and food. The orange martini and the Buddha bowl are my favorite menu items.
I’ve never had a bad experience. Everyone is so polite, friendly and professional. They are prompt and work as a team.
It’s refreshing to have a great business in the neighborhood that cares about its patrons and employees. The employees all seem to get along with another and are happy at their job.
Support local businesses who understand how to treat employees AND customers.“

“First time going. I really enjoyed it. I got full really fast so I didn't get to try a pizza. Abby was a very friendly server. I had the chicken sandwich which very tasty. The rest of my party had a chicken parmesan and another had a cheeseburger. Everyone liked their food. Money well spent.

Parking: Street parking is free on Sunday, I believe, but maybe hard to find a spot. There are garages available.“

“We came for the first time today, the food was excellent and our server was so kind! I wish we lived closer! 10/10!“

“Great portions for a decent price with excellent caring servers!“

“We enjoyed their informal Wednesday aftrnoon Bluegrass music. I put some photos at:“

“Great meatballs!!!! Love the pizza.“

“I called prior to my reservation to see if the patio was still reserved for us as indicated in my notes. Whoever I spoke to disclosed that the patio would not be available and she was accommodating in getting me another location that was desirable, which was very much appreciated. Once we showed up to the restaurant I asked if it was at all possible to sit on the patio as there was no indication that it could not be utilized. Weather was amazing for a happy hour and rain had passed 2+ hours prior. She said it would take 30 minutes to clean up. I was a little shocked considering across the street at Townhall they had their patio wiped down in about 15 minutes. There were 3-4 girls standing around talking while they could have been getting the patio “ready” (it truly didn't need much in my opinion). In customer service the little things matter and it felt as if the staff wanted to limit their service radius to accommodate their own needs. I could be very wrong. Overall I have raved to friends about the service at Hubbard Grille for years, but lately, it isn't the same.“

“Anna was amazing !!! Food was yum & service was so good“

“My son has allergies to dairy, soy, and almond and sensitive to white potatoes! It’s so hard to eat out! We are out of town and decided to try this as we ate at the one in Cincinnati before he had allergies! The manager came out. The chef told him what they could do and the waitress was made aware and did an allergy ticket for his meal! The best service and we felt the allergy was taken serious! Would highly recommend!“

“Absolutely one of the best experiences I have had dining in Columbus , German Village area, in the last two years.

Not only do the dishes have multiple flavors in each bite which every well chef inspired food place does, but the flavors fit the dish, and it's not what's expected when looking at it when it's sit down in front of you. Excellent Quality, flavors and presentation 5 stars.
However, the pleasantry & knowledge even the way the staff explains the dishes and makes you feel special is what separates this place from others. I sat at the bar and spoke to Alli (super friendly & informative) after about 5 minutes I realized I was going to let her pick my dishes; she knew every dish and ultimately made my AGNI experience one of the best I've had in central Ohio.
HIGHLY recommend , flavors of the sauces (no words can describe) nailed them
Service above and beyond!“

“Ordered take out for the first time and been wanting to try this place. It did not disappoint at all! The Mack Daddy Sandwich, onion rings , and red velvet roll were all fantastic!“

“Everything, Food Service Also the atmosphere is awesome been going there for many years for business meetings just a nice place to relax eat and enjoy“

“Great service, food was delicious. My new favorite jerk restaurant.“

“Awesome survive, quick on getting food out. Refills are quick too. The one thing I wasn’t a fan of too much was the paper straws. I still do recommend! 🤍🤍🤍“
