42 Best American Restaurants near Yellow Springs

“They have a couple of vegan options. I had a hearty bean and vegetable stew which was good but got monotonous halfway through. The crostinis were tasty but overpriced. I enjoyed my cocktail, which actually had dried flowrrs embedded in the hugecube of ice. The server and host were caring and wanted to make m experience the best possible. I dined alone for lunch and was abl to rake in the lovely, quiet surroundings, with artwork on the walls!“

“Fantastic food and service!“

“Nice place in a beautiful setting. people are very friendly but the food is nothing special, average at best. You pay for the hospitality and setting at the hotel.“

“Nice place to stop for lunch, and pick up some swag (T-shirt) along the bike trail! Great blue cheese hamburger, always a fun place to go for some foamy pops. Will be back in October.“

“We decided to head over to Yellow Springs this evening and chose Peach's for dinner. our waitress was super nice, the burgers were very yummy, but my margarita was on point and I may have downed it in like 10 minutes or so. It had a great flavor and had some light carbonation to it, which I liked! Wish I had that recipe to make at home!“

“Good food with a twist. Friendly place, low key.“

“I really wanted a chilli dog. And Skyline was only a few miles away. When I got there I was really surprised at a flyer on the door for floats. Not only did I get 2 chili cheese coneys but a root beer float besides. It was heavenly!! The service was great too!“

“It’s been awhile since I had stopped at Cracker Barrel and was pleasantly surprised by the updated menu. I had the fried chicken salad and it was excellent! I highly recommend that you revisit if you haven’t been in for sometime. It’s like going home to a remodeled kitchen. Same friendly people, great service and surprising menu with the old family favorites still available.“

“Chef knocked it out of the park for the Springfield Regional OR Staff. Short notice on a cold and windy day. I couldn't be more happy. Eat amazing food and support are local businesses. Stella Bleu ROCKS“

“We had a lovely baby shower in this beautiful space. Stacey Black made sure every detail was exactly as we wished. The new chef exceeded expectations with delicious and attractive food. The staff was attentive and polite. We will definitely plan future events here!“

“I've always enjoyed their super-tasting & generously-portioned Souther-style food & feel fortunate there is a location in Ohio within easy reach of me. Took my wife -who only recently arrived in this country- there today & she was positively BLOWN AWAY with the varieties, taste & servings of the food.

Vegetarian options: Primarily the fried apples, which are delicious. Also pinto beans & cornbread.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessable.“

“I probably consider myself an occasional regular, because I try to meet a couple friends for a cold beer on Wednesdays. Ray is the stable force currently, and I’m very concerned if he ever leaves our nice little sports bar may not make it. We have a hidden gem (potentially), but things seem to be trending in the wrong direction. Not quite ready for Bar Rescue to come in yet ?, but definitely has too much upside to not make a better effort to do what is needed to be run more efficiently.“

“The best food we have ever had!! Highly Recommend!“

“Excellent service and food! Worth the 25 min drive from Cols. Will be heading here after the flea markets!!“

“dad's lot and sweet tea.“

“Pictured is the “Dog House burger”. It was recommend by our waitress and it was excellent. Also got the frosted mug root beer that delicious as well as crinkle fries. Not pictured was a coney dog and house ranch. The ranch was great but did have a kick to it. Will be returning.“

“Taylor’s is literally my second kitchen. Ole reliable. They never let me down. 10/10 recommend“

“We live an hour out of town and were on our way home from a graduation ceremony in Cedarville. We looked online for a place to grab a sandwich that was on along our route. The first place we came to was very crowded so we decided to try the next place, which was The Buck and Ear. I'm so glad we did! The food and service were excellent. (Chrissy was our server, and she was the best!) I also loved the 80's music they had playing in the background. Though we didn't make use of them, they had a pool table and darts and some video games that looked like a lot of fun. The next time we're back in Xenia, that's where we're going! Highly recommend!“

“I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Fairborn, OH tj chumps. We had my sons birthday there in their private room and everyone was so friendly and welcoming and the service was amazing and they were so friendly with the kids and loved including my daughter to be as if she was working. We are so thankful!!“

“Ate here after a long stressful day, we had a great meal. Husband got the pork tenderloin sandwich which looked hand breaded. I got the burger which was cooked perfectly and chargrilled, so not greasy. The spicy fries were hot and crispy. He got the mini corn dogs which looked hand breaded also. Service was great, but what stood out the most was the kitchen staff. We sat in the middle section by the kitchen. The guys doing the cooking in the were dancing, and having a good time. It showed in the quality of our food. Happy employees equal good food. We’ll be back!“

“I am frequently in Springfield for work, this has become my favorite restaurant. Great food, great service, great people, and a great atmosphere. The owner and manager are totally awesome. They even provide some quality musical entertainment from time to time! I highly recommend Cecil and Lime if you are ever in Springfield, Ohio!“

“My boyfriend was in two separate times and absolutely raved about how excellent not just the food was but the service as well! He said the service was outstanding so much that it deserved recognition. He was not able to catch his name but he was an older white male who pulls 70+ hours, and just how genuinely nice of a guy he was, which is hard to come by these days. So big shout out to you, you are not going unnoticed ☺️“

“Was there two weekends in a Row I live in Columbus, Ohio Absolutely the best food every I can't remember what she said her name is but to the owner I can drink any where but those nachoes, an that Chicken is worth a hour drive to me the laid back atmosphere is hard to find these days an it's hard to find people that cook with love for cooking anyone anyone can cook but when it's love for the art of cooking you can taste it I'll be there this Friday with my family there coming from out of town Tony Turner Lewis“

“Went to the Waffle House on Dayton Yellowsprings Rd in Fairborn, OH. my husband and I walk in and the 2 servers and the cook are sitting at the lower counters. We are told that they are waiting for the next shift to show up and then we would be helped. Sat at a table... that's dirty... because none of them are clean. Another employee walks in... chats with the 3 that were there and walks by our table and asks if we have been served yet, we tell him no and he returns to the other 3 still sitting. After a few more minutes, we left. The cook ends up chasing us out the parking lot telling us he's the cook and he's happy to serve us. Didn't seem like that was the case the whole time we were sitting inside. We chose to go to the Waffle House on the other side of town and got great food and great service. We've decided that we won't be back to Waffle House on Dayton Yellowsprings Rd.“

“Loved Linardos! Straight up old school atmosphere and great Greek food. Waitress Angie was fantastic, knowledgeable and a gem for the restaurant. We wish we lived close so we could eat here all the time. Great for special occasions and the baklava is a must. Thanks for a great anniversary dinner!“

“This place is a hidden secret in Spfld. The bar is fantastic, needs to be advertised more and stocked better. What a wonderful outdoor patio that is not being used. Shame shame. Still, I go out of my way to have a cocktail at this bar because the bartenders, Terri and Myssi are just super ladies.“

“we just love eating here. Far better than Cracker Barrel. Better Service.“

“our waitresses Peggy was wonderful!!“

“Edit 2: Updating to 4 stars as I had a double there today that was already ready and waiting and hostess was present and acknowledged my existence.

Original 1-star review: Employees ignore doordash. I've been doing various orders throughout town and this place is absolutely the worst in terms of not caring whatsoever about acknowledging a driver's existence or providing prompt, or any, service. I will decline future Applebee's orders and am leaving this review as a customer advisory to expect slow food at best here.

Edit: updated to 3 star as I had an order another time during the day and there was a runner actually getting orders out“

“Me and my family was here lastnight and we had CAILTLIN as our waiter. She was absolutely amazing. We come here alot and we always ask for her. We never wait on anything and our food is always good and most importantly she interacts with my child in the most respectful way. I my self greatly appreciate that from a waiter! I'd highly recommend her as a waiter to anyone. Keep up the good work!“

“We went for breakfast while on vacation for a reunion. Their chicken sausage was so good. The customer service was great! We did wait a little bit on the food but there were a lot of us and it was worth it cause the food was hot, fresh and so delicious. We will be back for sure!
Their sweet tea is the best!!!! ?“

“Have always loved Bob Evans!“

“WiMga were very good! Crispy and the choice of sauces was a great variety. I had the chipotle and shared some Nashville hot. Wings weren’t skimpy and small, big and cooked great! The fried bologna grilled cheese was super good as well! Great place, chill atmosphere. Visiting from arizona and would Highly retro’s place to anyone! Nice work!“
