17 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.“

“Waitress staff was amazing, remembering everyone's order, offering refills before your glass was empty, bringing all the orders at about the same time, and our party was close to 30 people.

Wheelchair accessibility: Really close parking“

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

“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.“

“First time ordering from Chef on Call tonight, it was absolutely ddelicious! I ordered the gambino, I added bacon, spinach and goat cheese! It was perfect! Will have the rest for lunch tomorrow the portion was huge!! My fiancé ate his before I could snap a picture but he loved his also!! he ordered the Chicago wrap and the Mac and cheese! Definitely will be back!“

“I had a fantastic experience at the restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the pasta and the chicken bao. Compliments to the chef for a wonderful meal. The service was excellent as well—Ruben (apologies if I spelled that wrong) was very knowledgeable and courteous. Overall, I had a great time and will definitely be returning.“

“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.“

“Another fabulous experience at the Weber St location. A very busy Saturday night because of the Festive Special. The staff are friendly and attentive especially Gail. I must hand it to her she is fantastic. Our waitress had her hands full and Gail stepped in, took our orders, brought us water, etc. She was keeping the whole place together. Thank-you Swiss Chalet staff for another great experience.“

“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!“

“I took one semester at the university and went to this jazz club almost every week during that time. It’s the most amazing place with GREAT, varied music, good food and drinks and awesome vibe! I especially appreciated that it’s a non talking venue and the amazing artists and crowd always delivering great atmosphere and quality jazz. I miss this place so much now that I don’t live in Canada anymore, I hope to be back one day!?“

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

“Besides the wait time (which should be expected when there are only four people doing the job of atleast five) it is a great establishment, the employees work efficiently when trained. Despite the occasional lack of communication between the staff and customer in relation to orders and order numbers food is brought out in about 5 minutes. Overall regular fast food resturant.“

“Great burgers! Amazing flavors!“

“A friend of mine and her son went to eat here Monday night. My first time at that location. It started out badly, very badly, the young, long haired, blond bartender was rude and unprofessional. Peyton, Bob and Theodora turned it around for us and with their eager to rectify approach helped turn a very negative experience into a positive one. Peyton was understanding, tentative to my concerns and genuinely wanted to help. Bob was amazing. He came to us with a genuine approach, listened to our issues. We felt heard and respected, in the end, found a reasonable solution we all were happy with. As we were leaving, Theodora held the door for us as she was coming into her shift with a bright beautiful smile, respectful and genuinely nice. These 3 are a great representation of amazing service that should be emulated by the ENTIRE staff, as well as IMO, a lot of establishment's are lacking. Thank you guys and I specifically want to thank Bob again.“

“I can't say enough about the food, customer service quality, All easily a 10. Only downer is how much the prices have risen since the COVID Affair. Easily 50% in 5 years. Most likely to see them closing down because of the prices, will keep customers from going . Sad because I just love Harvey's a lot.“

“We had a great time! Food was amazing! We will certainly be back there. We celebrated 2 birthdays but never said a word to them, and dessert was worth paying for it. Thanks for a wonderful evening of great conversation with my kids!“
