26 Best American Restaurants in Allentown

“All very good except price! Pricing referenced in OnLine menu much lower than actual pricing. Remove them and update with current pricing which is 50 % more. $35 for salad, protein , ice tea ( non alcoholic) is ridiculous).“

“Very good, upscale atmosphere.“

“Excellent food, always fresh and tasty. Customer service is on point, Wafa and her staff are wonderful. I love the shawarma, gyro, and of course their smoothies.“

“We were in town for the weekend. Went to dinner Friday night without a reservation but they squeezed us in. The staff, service and food were amazing. We loved it so much we went back for brunch on Sunday before we left town. The host remembered us when we came in, he welcomed us back. The brunch was sensational! We sat in the sunroom during snowfall. It was beautiful and cosy. I wish we lived closer to go again and again. 10/10! Will recommend to anyone heading that way!“

“I have been staying at the Hyatt since it opened several years ago and dining at the Westside Grill on every stay. I frequent this hotel and am more than just a guest, bordering on being a resident due to my frequent travel into the Lehigh Valley. As a Globalist with Hyatt I cannot say enough good about the hotel and the Westside Grill. After having dinner there again this evening and having another outstanding experience I feel compelled to write this review. The dining room management of the Westside Grill is exceptional with Eileen, the Manager, doing an exceptional job. She is a walk around manager very visible in the dining room, greeting customers, and ensuring they are having a great dining experience. This evening I had the pleasure of having Deanna as my server and she did an outstanding job as well. Both Eileen and Deanna are very attentive insuring that the customer is well taken care of and not wanting for anything. I cannot say enough GOOD about this restaurant. It is top shelf, great abidance, exceptionally clean, supported by a full service bar and an exceptional menu and wine list. The Westside Grill has been consistent in service, quality, and presentation of food since I began dining there while staying at the hotel. I strongly recommend the Westside Grill for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an exceptional dining experience. I bring often business associates with me for morning, afternoon, and evening business discussions at the Westside Grill and have never been disappointed. Both the Westside Grill and Hyatt Hotel have a great staff that are always wanting to make your dining experience and stay exceptional and memorable. It makes you want to come back!!! Finally, 5 Stars is not enough, it should be more like 10. Both the service and the meals at the Westside Grill are consistent always providing an exceptional dining experience.“

“Another former Pott's location that has adopted their own identity and an interesting variety of toppings.
I found it odd they're closed on Sunday, especially considering their proximity to Dorney Park, but being retired myself, can't fault them for enjoying weekends.
I ordered two of the griddle cooked Berks. One with Tajin spice which added a nice tang and color to the sauerkraut base. The second hot pepper spread, spicy mustard & pickles.
Clean and bright, Take Out only but she pointed out Trexler Park which happened to be on my route and with the sun and dry breeze, made for a fantastic lunch!“

“Glad to enjoy the taste again. We come from Reading. Will definitely be back. Been eating steaks more than years“

“Great breakfast and top notch service. Make sure you ask for Laura..she's the best!“

“Love this place! The owner is so accommodating. We brought a large party bus there and they accommodated us with no issues. The bartenders and waitresses were beyond efficient and sweet. The beers were cold. The drinks were quick and the food was great. Loved this place.“

“OK, It's NOT a 5 star place but I will tell you what. The patrons and staff are GREAT!!!! Everyone is friendly, food is great, jukebox is a sing along fun fest. I took my girlfriend in there last night and it was so cool. Everyone was singing with the jukebox laughing and having a great time. Going back tonight for karaoke. It's not fancy of pretty or sophisticated,,,it is just a FUN BAR!!!!!!! Oh tea, THEY HAVE FRESH CUT FRENCH FRIES,,,,,DEEP FRIED!!! Sorry woke, mommy and daddy basement living tree hugging skirt wearing gender neutral ball babies,,,,PROBABLY not a place for you!!!! They SMOKE IN THERE AND SING PATRIOTIC SONGS TOO !!!!“

“Wonderfully developed and unique flavors. Cheesesteak soup is the bomb“

“Hosted a few parties here and the establishment is very clean, fresh looking and great atmosphere. Food is amazing and Jim is always willing to make your occasion special. He works with you and ensures you have all that you need for your big day. We held a Anniversary party, 2 birthday parties and been to a few there as well. I would highly recommend Linx for your next occasion.“

“visiting from scotland and experiencing my first ever frat party i was relieved to find such comfort in muhlenberg dining room - with food that will sustain me throughout my travels, i leave confident knowing it will surely also sustain its students into our crazy, beautiful world.“

“Will not being going back after my husband and I recent visit. After being seated and waiting more than 15 minutes to be waited on while a waitress walked by us twice ignoring us and two other couples came and were seated near us and were waited on right away, we walked out! No one said a word. Another turn off, there obsessed with vacuuming and sweeping the floor. Yes l like a clean restaurant but not vacuuming or sweeping done by our table while were trying to have a peaceful meal and dust blowing around in the air. Wont be going back.“

“I have an allergy to rare beef. As a result I usually do not order red meat as I prefer it rare. Wert’s Cafe burgers are so good, moist and juicy, even when cooked well done. Delicious and very reasonably priced food. You can’t go wrong! Wert’s is the Best!“

“We enjoyed a delicious anniversary meal and cocktails. The soups were amazing and the lobster flight was worth the price! We then enjoyed desserts, chocolate cake and the reminiscent Hess’s strawberry pie, which just like at Hess’s,is large enough to share with several people. Our server was wonderful, attentive and friendly. 10 out of 10 recommend trying the FairGrounds Hotel“

“Great food! Friendly employees! Cozy and clean atmosphere! Our favorite restaurant in a long time!“

“This was my first time in a very long time. Music was AMAZING. The staff was very friendly and very helpful/attentive.“

“What a great place to host a private surprise birthday party ! We had such a special time here today. The staff is the best!! 5 stars !! I would highly recommend for all your special events. Great food, plenty of off street parking and wonderful atmosphere !! We will be back.“

“Affordable and delicious! Just had some Korean BBQ with a fantastic little kick to em’ - oh, and the fries were crispy, and nicely seasoned… We ordered this through DoorDash, and it came hot. Mashed potatoes were unreal. The southwest nachos, go for the nachos, fresh and loaded with goodness.“

“Halloween decorations and food 🎃“

“What an absolutely great dinner. We celebrated our daughter’s 30th birthday tonight and our service was fantastic and all seven us had delicious meals. They even allowed me to bring along a birthday treat I made for our daughter. Definitely a hidden gem. Thank you for making our experience so memorable.“

“We started out at another what is supposed to be an upscale and reputable establishment for a 5:30pm reservation made for my husband's birthday. What a disappointment that was as we were made to wait passed our reservation and received a less than pleasureable attitude from the hostess. After several inquiries about our table we observed several other parties walk in and get seated right away. We had enough and decided to go elsewhere. This is when we came to Applebee's. What a breath of fresh air. We were seated immediately by smiling and gracious staff. We were served by Rey who turned our frown upside down. What a wonderful server. Rey was gracious, thoughtful, courteous and helpful with food suggestions. Rey made our whole experience a wonderful one even going above and beyond by celebrating my husband's birthday with a surprise super delicious dessert. We could not have asked for a better outcome from what started out as a disaster. Kudos to Applebee's and their staff. We will definitely be back.“

“Tasty pub food style selection and excellent beer options. Our server, Eli, was on top of everything, very pleasant and helpful.“
