15 Best American Restaurants in Waterloo

“Came here for my birthday. We started off with spinach dip suggested by our server then got salmon and the steak sandwich. All the food tasted amazing. The service was amazing from Olivika she went above and beyond for us. She even packaged our food neatly for us. At the end we got a cake with a candle with happy birthday written in chocolate.

10/10 restaurant and will certainly be coming back.“

“I was at Swiss Chalet today and I have to say had an excellent experience! Greeted by Heather and sat down by heather and served by heather. That being said, clearly understaffed restaurant. She did her best everything was perfect! Kitchen was fast and very great food! But it was the service that made my day, after sitting at Montanas for 25 to 30 minutes without getting a drink. With several staff restaurant half capacity. Seeing other guests getting served and arriving after myself. Made me felt racially profiled at montanas! I left and cried in my car. Happy didn’t go home and I went to Swiss Chalet and met heather she did so much for everyone! Working alone! Please she needs a raise and helped not fare for her to do it all. Once again heather than you!“

“This is a great option for a good quality, sit-down meal on campus. The staff had some struggles understanding the drink orders and requests resulting in an incorrect drink order and quite a lot of time consulting with their co-workers to fix. They could use extra training on the menu as well. Even though it was a set menu they didn't have answers ready about the meal. Eg. What vegetables are with this? I think a little more training for the staff would have made this a 5-star experience as it was a delicious meal with great value on campus.“

“Good food, decent service, nice to have a place like this to drop in after sporting events. Great atmosphere as well!“

“Came here last night with my family, Swiss Chalet is always a very warm and welcoming restaurant. Our server Nicole was very friendly and checked in on us to assure our meals were great, and her service was very timely and efficient! As for the food it was delicious as always, the chalet sauce being my favourite part of my quarter chicken dinner. Will be returning!“

“First time ordering tonight, Mac and cheese with bacon and chicken add on...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Was Fantastical. Will be ordering again!!“

“Great food!! Nice Patio!! Excellent service!!!“

“Haryes Fast Food is a great place for a quick and tasty meal. Their menu has plenty of options, including burgers, fries, and fried chicken, all served fresh and full of flavor. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the space is clean and comfortable. It’s a reliable spot for an affordable and satisfying bite to eat.“

“Amazing staff and delicious lunch. Will definitely be back“

“Great food, and service! Everything was hot and very tasty!! The price is right for the quality of food!“

“Morty's has the best wings!“

“The jazz room is a big venue. Lots of different options like billiards, multiple pubs.

Live music pretty much every day.

They have a good music system and cameras so you can enjoy the show from any place. The venue is also intimate. You are not more than 3 tables away from any place.

The amount of talent available is vast. The food is not overly expensive as expected.“

“Visited Harvey’s around 11pm tonight and was disappointed by how short-staffed the location was.
There was only one or maybe two staff members in the entire store handling everything, Food was good and the staff was super nice as usual.
It isn’t very pleasant because this location usually runs much smoother. Management needs to schedule more help, especially during peak hours. This is not the service I expect from Harvey’s.“

“Great burgers! Amazing flavors!“

“Good burger. Fresh patty. Hot fries.
Avocado chicken sandwich was good.

Shrimp appetizer isn't worth the price though.

Typical bar and grill atmosphere.

Pleasant server.“
