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!“

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.“

From the personalized note to the complimentary celebratory drink, we couldn't have asked for a better evening!“

“We came here on our first date. It wasn't my first time but the guy I was with was his first time!! We absolutely loved it. Christina was our server and she rocked it. Iris was able to hold our table because we were running a few minutes late in traffic.“

“The restaurant was pretty empty, only a few tables were seated when we arrived. Lots of open space. They sat us on top of 2 other tables. My back was touching my neighbor and I could hear their entire conversation. I would have preferred to sit further away since there were so many open spots including more private booths. A little disappointing. Food was good as usual. Service was a little slow. Had to flag down the waiter to take our order after we ordered apps. Donuts took forever.“

“The sweet potato crockpot.“

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

“Rossi Kitchen is a great place to dine on the Short North. Our party of three sat at a high-top and received excellent service. We shared calamari with an excellent pesto aioli. Caesar salads were crispy and briny. Our entrees included the ragu, lamb lollipops and salmon over a mixed green salad. All were nicely prepared and tasty. A good time was had by all.“

“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!“

She was so great!“

“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.“

“Great meatballs!!!! Love the pizza.“

“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! 😋🙂😇“

“We went for Happy Hour and the food was delicious! I loved the flatbreads! The drinks could use a little more alcohol but they were good. The waiter could've been more helpful. He was never came back to check on us after he brought the food. He would drop the food off and run away but the place was mostly empty. I had to catch him running by if we needed anything. Other than that, I'll be back for the food.“

“My husband and I really enjoy eating at rusty bucket! Food was great.. Customer service was amazing! We've been definitely go back and recommend. Thanks“

Our service was fantastic. Our server was attentive but also, others who delivered the food, checked in on us, etc. were so receptive and pleasant. I will surely go back again!“

“Visited twice recently. Loved the breakfast food, awesome coffee, and peaceful atmosphere on our first visit. Our second visit was a late lunch. Food was still good, but service was slow, and some of our party had to wait about 10 minutes for their entrees to arrive while others started
eating. It was also quite noisy with piped in music at to high of a volume level to help conversations“
