15 Best American Restaurants in Peterborough

“We had dinner there tonight. hubby ordered the liver and onions and gravy. Best he's ever had all was delicious I ordered the chicken wrap with there homemade chicken soup. DELICIOUS! Will be a regular customer after finding this gem. Great friendly staff too. very pleasant !“

“Try something different with the family and eat here while watching the planes land and take off!

Service is excellent and dining area is comfortable.

I wish the owners would do more with the aviation theme though. Suggest to have more aviation memorabilia on the walls and even hang it on the ceiling! Look to the London Airport resto for inspiration. A great opportunity is missed here to jazz this place up and showcase the peterborough Airport.

The only thing I tasted here was the Club sandwich. While good and flavourful, I'll give it 4 stars and not 5 because its made with sliced Turkey ( seems processed ) and not fresh oven roasted chucks of Turkey breast.

Having said that the Club Sandwich with fries is very reasonably priced so great value.“

“Today, since it was raining so my family decided to go to Peterborough for lunch and we decided to check out The Railyard Cafe and Taphouse! It was a really good choice for lunch!! The waitress was very kind and helpful! I had their Mac 'N' Cheese with the LA Maison salad which was very tasty!!! I definitely do recommend anyone to check out this restaurant that is only steps away from Downtown Peterborough, Ontario, Canada 🙂👍🏻❤️“

“We have been enjoying the gourmet food of Old Bridge Inn for years. The building and setting is spectacular. We have enjoyed meals inside and on the patio. We are local but friends of ours liked staying there on visits. More recently we have been bringing home meals from Inn Cuisine in Lakefield. We just had a large group reception outside using tents on the grounds. The food served was perfect in quality and presentation. A good time was had by all despite a little rain. Highly recommended.“

“such a great atmosphere, amazing staff (always above and beyond) food is fantastic (kitchen staff id like to meet you), cold drinks, and easy to make friends. Always a great time.“

“Probably the best in Peterborough right now. Cocktails are awesome, different and done well. Beer choices excellent. And the meals are varied, good portions, tastes I've never had before. Will be back with family and friends.“

“We had an amazing time today on the patio for drinks & supper! Google told us this place was closing at 5pm but this was incorrect info!! Hope someone will fix this so future tourists will know The Riverside is open & and an amazing spot! Thank goodness we took a chance even tho Google said closing was 5pm on a Saturday!!“

“Had breakfast for the first time today (May 17th) very good value and and good portions, added fruit a nice touch. Friendly staff and good service. My only concerns were the overdone has browns and really cold plates. Breakfast should be served on (at least) warm plates, especially your are having eggs. Otherwise, very good.“

“they got great burgers. and fries .“

“My aunt‘s favourite restaurant before she passed was Red Lobster. Our family decided to get together in her memory at one of our homes, and we asked Amir, manager of Peterborough Red Lobster if it was possible to have it catered. He enthusiastically jumped in, made suggestions. He actually organized the entire menu. 30 people gathered. The food arrived and it was magnificent. Such a variety. I am pretty sure it was almost everything from their menu and more!!! There was something for every guest to enjoy and they did. If anyone is thinking of hosting such an event, I would strongly recommend recommending contacting Amir and he had his kitchen crew will impress. Thank you, Amir and your staff.“

“I’ve always enjoyed Swiss Chalet“

“My wife and I just had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. We were served by a gentleman named Aaron and his manners and knowledge of the dishes were exceptional, the food was better than we could have hoped for and we cannot wait to dine here again, excellent service“

“I always say I come to Eastside Mario's for the tomatoe soup ( which is amazing) , but now I say I come for the soup and Michael lol. This waiter goes above and beyond his job. Always friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. I give the restaurant 5 stars but I will give his service a million stars. You guys are very lucky to have him. He has a passion that you don't see much around these days. Keep up the wonderful attitude Michael, people are seeing you. Fantastic service as always.“

“Trust me I've tried all known in the area after the closing of whistle stop.
To date this is the best base poutine available.
Proper good amount of rich gravey, cheese and the bacon is worth having on it.
Thanks for stepping up Harvey's, keep it up. Canadian!!“

“Staff were friendly. They were courteous of both walk-in and drive- thru times and orders. You can visibly see them make the food, in a clean kitchen. Staff were generous and exact when building personalized orders and the food is always great as expected. The only recommendation would be to send someone out to clean the dining tables. It was rather empty, but quite a few dirty tables and benches.“
