14 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.“

“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.“

“Reservations are definitely recommended. The food and atmosphere was fantastic. We shared a couple of appetizers and a pizza. Even though the place was clearly busy, the food came out promptly and the service was excellent. Our server made great recommendations when asked. Food arrived as expected and steaming hot. Everything was well prepared and tasted fresh. Will be going back again. 10/10“

“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.“

“I’ve always enjoyed Swiss Chalet“

“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.“

“We were in for lunch one of our favourite places to eat for freshness , quality home cooked food . Our server Cassidy has served us a few times . Great server . Bubbly . Happy personality . We always get great service from her . We will be back“

“I went in a few days ago with a friend for lunch and we were very impressed. The greeting at the door was professional and friendly. We were seated and attended to very quickly. Victoria was prompt, polite, and very efficient.
For the price, this food is incredible. It was served hot and without a wait. Victoria brought us extra bread and offered drinks, checking on how we were doing. It could not have been better.“

“THIS IS THE BEST HARVEY’S IVE EVER BEEN TO!!!! To the two gentlemen who tag-teamed my order, all I can say is, ‘not all heroes wear capes’! This burger was MASSIVE! And to everyone who was working the closing shift on Jan 31st, 2026 (8:53pm onwards), thank you for showing compassion towards to the kind elderly homeless man who was just trying to stay warm. You’re all amazing people with amazing souls.“

“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.“
