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!“

“If I could leave more stars I would. My child was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and we haven’t had the easiest time finding restaurants that have reasonable accommodations. The staff was so patient and kind while I asked our list of questions to ensure they eat safely. Our server even went to the back to receive confirmation from the back of the house on all ingredients. Thankful to have found a Crohn’s friendly restaurant!“

“It's been a while since we've been to The Rossi and we are so glad we dined there yesterday. First, they have one heck of a Happy Hour both for their food and beverage offerings were fantastic, I mean how often do you see French 75s and Palomas on a Happy Hour menu. Second, their staff, front of the house, bartenders and servers all have the impeccable timing as far as knowing when to check-in which made the whole experience relaxing & leaving us truly happy! Finally, the restaurant itself has character in a good way... the rays of sunlight dancing thru the windows and the sparkle off of the lighting fixtures leaves patrons with the impression the owners of this bar care about the ambience! We'll be back for sure!“

“Great food, lots of fine dinners to choose from. Their bison steak is the best I've had anywhere! I had some garlic mashed potatoes and steamed carrots with that and some lemonade. I've dined in this place before, ate bison burgers but this time I opted for their bison filet steak, and it was delicious. The whole meal was. Facilities are clean, now with soap dispensers placed around for your convenience. I hadn't been to this area since Covid hit and that has changed everything but I'm happy this restaurant is still in business. I came to eat there because I wanted to eat a fine meal before seeing the German band Kraftwerk that evening. The waitress was very quick in serving the food and very friendly. Sure, the dinners may be more expensive and there's not many restaurants in the Nationwide Arena area now, but why not go for something unique and special to add to your fun day? I have eaten here before and after attending events such as hockey games, Phil Collins, Bruce Springsteen, RUSH, (Jeff Lynne's) ELO, Adam Ant, Noel Gallagher and more throughout the Arena District. I'm glad this place is still around after all that's occurred during the past few years, and I highly recommend it to anyone who attends any event in the Arena District. It's as good as it ever was, maybe better. Food, service, atmosphere, cleanliness - ***** out of five. I will certainly eat at this place again, just as I have at previous times. Kudos! 😋🙂😇“

“When you see a place with a small menu, you know you can pick anything and be satisfied. In this case I had the Thai Burrito and was thoroughly pleased with juicy chicken, delicious veggies and rice, and a fantastic peanut sauce to boot.
The restaurant itself has a very particular vibe. It's both current and clean, yet it feels like a place from the 80s.“

“We had a great time. Beautiful location, excellent coffee, seriously delicious food, friendly staff. We’re here from Wheeling,WV, but will DEFINITELY make the trip back!“

“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! 🤍🤍🤍“

“Fish sandwich was amazing, salad and pizzas really good. We really liked their juices and iced mint coffee. Also, their dark chocolate cookies were great. Nice outdoor seating with live music. Great vibe and service. All waiters were friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back.“

“FOOD WAS HOT! THE FRIED ORANGE ROUGHY WAS PERFECT ALONG WITH THE SEASONING. 1000000000 WILL COME BACK. DEFINITELY WORTH THE DRIVE“

“Great meatballs!!!! Love the pizza.“

“excellent food. amazing breakfast and service!“

“Have been wanting to try this place forever and finally made it in today with my best friend, what a disappointment. Their posted hours show open till 2:30 pm, we arrived at 1:50 (plenty of time for some pancakes and coffee.) The weight staff was in full on cleanup mode and made it Very obvious they were done working for the day with the way we were greeted. I ordered decaf coffee and was told there was none left so decided to have regular and then didn't even get a full cup of that. At $4.99 a pop I need a full cup. I looked at my friend and said "they don't want to wait on us they are annoyed that they are already cleaning up and we came in" she agreed so when the server came back I politely said "we will just elsewhere we can tell you're cleaning up for the day" There was no "oh you are fine, you still have 40 minutes" or anything like that there just " are you sure?" We left and headed down the street to Delaney's Diner who would also be closing in about an hour at 3 PM but a TOTALLY different vibe. Greeted with a smile from the person at the hostess stand and 2 of the chefs even looked over and smiled and said welcome come on in! We looked at each other and said much better, we are definitely in the right place now. I've heard nothing but good things about the pancakes at the Pancake House I only wish I would have got to experience them But being treated well is more important to me than food. I understand wanting to be done work for the day believe me but it wasn't like we walked in with 3 minutes till closing. Oh well 🤷‍♀️“

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

“Large portions and good price!“

“There was a whole age of discovery where Europeans took boats and caused wreckage across the globe while “looking for spices”. This place didn't get the memo that many were found. If you want some very mid and bland food this is you place! Please look at YouTube videos to discover how to season chicken and grits. The service was great though.“

“We LOVE Culver’s!!! Food is hot & delicious every time!! Butter burgers are so good! Fries & cheese curds are awesome and the custard is creamy & hits the spot! Excellent customer service and clean atmosphere! My favorite fast food restaurant!“

“Love your burgers and cheese Sticks!“

“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“

“This was our first visit to the Harvest Moon and it won’t be our last!! It’s a charming place right in the heart of Canal Winchester. I liked that a lot of their food is made there on site. Everything we had was outstanding. Our server Kim was amazing. They were busy yet she did a great job checking on us throughout our meal. They get an A+ from me!“
