15 Best American Restaurants near Colbert

“This place is amazing! I have not had a chance to visit until recently and regret not coming sooner. Amazing restaurant and a gem for sure! Every item on the menu looks good. I had a burger and fries and my husband had the catfish. The pie is amazing also. Looking forward to the next visit.“

“Ernie’s - met Chris in Denison when he had his food truck on Morton. Our family loves his brisket tacos and especially the monster burrito (with green sauce on the side). When I found his cafe (in Colbert) was just 15 minutes away, we try to make it at least twice a month, the drive is actually not that far, easy 15 minute pleasant drive . . So worth the drive for comfort food and I call in for pickup and it’s ready when I get there. It’s a home cooked meal and everyone looks and feels at home, so enjoy watching his packed restaurant and they definitely hustle.“

“Outstanding food and a truly lovely experience!“

“most of the time food is good and hot. but been in there a few times food was cold. they need 2 waitresses cause when its busy one person should not have to do both sides. the restrooms on one side are to small. the other bathrooms need remodeled badly. outside needs painted . and inside needs updated paint and other repairs. other than that waitresses are very friendly and the owner is too. just fix the place up and hire a new cook. and when the cook is done with the order dont just let the food get cold , you need a system where the waitress should be called when a order is up. so it comes out hot. just common sense“

“This was our first time here. 7/19/2025, we went for our 28th wedding anniversary, everything was great from the time we walked in until the time we left. The food was amazing, my steak was very tasty and cooked to perfection, my corn and bean salad was delicious, never had it before so I'm looking for recipes to try to make a similar one. The waitress was super nice and very attentive too. It is a must-visit again.“

“We are so glad to have the original Roadhouse back! Darian was our waitress today and the service was great ❤️“

“Phenomenal!!! Great service and everything was delicious!!! Loved the free rolls. The homemade chips and queso were great. Thoroughly enjoyed my chicken and dumplings, dressing, and okra. My son got jalapeño gravy with his chicken tenders!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nick’s Family Restaurant, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made sure we had everything we needed. The menu offers a great variety of dishes, with something for everyone—whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a fresh salad, or a comforting lunch. I opted for the catfish fillet and iced tea it was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with generous portions and iced tea is best one. What really sets Nick’s apart is the consistency and heart that goes into every meal. You can tell the food is made with care, and that’s not something you find every day. The prices are also very reasonable, making it a fantastic spot for a casual yet satisfying meal. If you're looking for a cozy, family-friendly place with great food and excellent service, Nick's Family Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to come back!“
