29 Best American Restaurants in Youngstown

“The good. The service. The atmosphere. It’s a solid A+.“

“This is hands down my favorite restaurant. With so many establishments serving mediocre food, we can always count on a great meal at Springfield Grille. The service is above and beyond, also. Highly recommend!“

“Food was amazing! So greatful we tried this restaurant for the first time the other night in Poland ohio. We're still fairly new to the area and wanted to try something different. We chose The 🔥 Fireplace and were pleasantly surprised by the food and the prices. For under 60.00 I fed my family of 4 with an amazing meal. The burgers were juicy and fat, the fries were crisp but not burnt or over seasoned, and the chicken 🤗Absolutely delicious. The employees were very courteous and friendly. Thank you for the delightful service and meal. Will be going back very soon!“

“Hello!!! I can't say enough about a fine establishment, The staff is very friendly, and the soul food is very delicious. Catfish, haddock, perch, smelts, fried okra, and that banana pudding is out of sight. I have been a friend of the family for many years. Oh!! We can't forget the fried chicken, Oh My Goodness, Please patronize Harmony Grille and you will be blessed. Hi Andre and family!!!. Love you with the love of the Lord for He has kept you.

“Can’t say enough about Bull & Bear. I had my wife’s surprise retirement party here on Sunday and it couldn’t have been any better. The food was amazing. Everything from the wings to the pizza. Everyone commend on how good it was and plan on returning. Ben gave us full access the party room for decorating and we had it all to ourselves through the evening ( about 65 people)with Bella and Trista as are servers. Both these girls were fantastic. Whenever anything ran low, food or beverages they were there. If anyone is looking to have a small function I highly recommend The Bull & Bear on Belmont.“

“Ate there for the first time today. Celebrating my wife’s birthday. The food was excellent. We will be back for sure. I highly recommend.“

“Had the best time in their beautifully decorated igloo. Wonderful food and service.“

“Had lunch there today it was absolutely delicious wood recommend this place for lunch“

“My son reserved the larger room for his engagement party. It was perfect. The staff was wonderful to work with, the food, drinks, decor…all fantastic. We had a wonderful time. It could not have been nicer. Thank you so much for everything you did to make our evening so memorable.“

“Best Salads! Portion size is big!“

“I can not express how much we, including my 2yr old son, enjoyed our time last night at The Bar Upstairs. The burger, wrap, and hot peppers were very good but their fries stole the show. They were just perfect and wish I had gotten a pic to share.The owner and staff were super friendly and attentive. Honestly, if you're looking to try something new I'd suggest giving this place a try.“

“This is the best family owned restaurant in town. You get to know the regulars and the staff who are fantastic. We go every weekend and love everything about it. The food is great and the prices are good. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a close, family style place to dine.“

“The Manor hosted a surprise birthday party for my wife in their banquet room. The management, hostess, and waitress were amazing! So accommodating, and gracious! The food is fantastic! This establishment is a treasure! Thank you for helping to make this occasion so memorable!“

“As first time customers to any Twin Peaks, we had a 100/10 visit! We noticed the 29° cold beer sign and that was our cue to visit. The hostesses were kind, the food was delicious and the beer was COLD- that was the seller to return, then we met Emma, our waitress! Emma was beautifully kind inside and out. I could have given a lesser review only because of the “attitude” of the hostesses and a few other waitresses but Emma made it 100%. We will be back to visit Emma! I hope she sees this and is recognized for her over the top customer service and kindness!“

“Risers is our go-to spot! The food is absolutely top-notch, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier — they’re always welcoming and genuinely take the time to chat with you. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making every visit feel special. You won’t find many places where the owner will sit down with you at the bar and have a real conversation. Risers truly is the best!“

“Just went to Cs waffles on South Avenue in Boardman and we had Jennifer as our waitress and she was excellent and the food was so good and my pregnant wife loved it. She ate every bit of her waffle and she said that they are the best waffles she ever had. We strongly suggest going there and getting breakfast. It was 10 out of 10 all the way.“

“It's a dump of a place and there's no public restroom, but the dogs are great, the service is good and it's filling and inexpensive. I wish so much they had something in Pittsburgh! Youngstown is spoiled with all these hot dog shops!“

“The cigar bar is the best! Thursday nights with friends and great service and staff make it the best night of the week.“

“❤️ the arancini and V2 salad“

“Hello, I was just there eaten the food. It was good. I will be back again 😁“

“Natural herbs have cured so many illnesses that drugs and injection cant cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of herpes, hiv, diabetics etc by Dr. MOMOH herbal medicine, so I decided to contact the doctor because I know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with hiv for the past 7 years but Dr. Momoh cured me with his herbs and I referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes and they were cured too .I know it is hard to believe but I am a living testimony. There is no harm trying herbs. He is also a spell caster, he casts spells to restore broken marriages and good luck spells to prosper and excel in life. Contact Dr MOMOH“

“First place I ever recommend to anyone new to, or visiting, the area! Fantastic atmosphere, food & service.“

“worth breakfast i had, Bacon was burned, eggs over Done potato over cooked, don't recommend.“

“Visited Crickets while in town for YLive. Food and service were both amazing! the pomegranate honey flavored wings and Handel’s ice cream/brownie were so so good! Our server Katie was top notch!! We are looking forward to our next visit!“

“All five stars? Well, it must have been Saturday, I must have gotten a rack of ribs with extra sauce that were smoky good, and the bartender must have done a great job taking my order and getting me a beer.

Seriously, I was absolutely impressed by the ribs. Cooked over charcoal or wood because the smoke ring was perfect, as were the ribs. No fat (NO fat!) and just a slight char on the ends. There are a lot of great rib joints around Youngstown, and since it's harder and harder to find roast lamb on Saturdays, ribs are my safety pick. The ribs at the Royal Oaks were perfect, better after I got them home and slapped them in a casserole and baked at 250 tightly wrapped for like 40 minutes. Absolutely great flavor that will impress anyone who likes a nice rack of ribs.
(A comma can change the meaning of a sentence, but not always) $25 for just a rack, no sides.“

“We had an event at the hotel that required not only catering but audio visual equipment. The staff was great to work with and made sure we had what we needed. The ballroom was perfect and they listened to our requests. Food was served on time and they helped us have a fantastic event. Would not hesitate to go back for the next one!“

“Food was ok service was horrible waited 5 min to be seated with only 12 customer's people were waiting just as long to pay their bill waited half an hour for food to come then my food was barely warm and my dates order was wrong will never return to that store again“

“Came here for the .50 cent wing Wednesday. Smashed on wings of course, but also did the bologna sandwich. It was as good as the reviews said. Friend had the egg and pepper sandwich, and that was good also. Fries were good. Solid place for good food and drinks.“
