50 Best American Restaurants near Croydon

“Been having their Valentine’s Day dinner there for the last 8 years. ALWAYS an amazing time. The food is exceptional. Their Chef is OUTSTANDING!!! Staff is so professional, knowledgeable, and FUN!!! BEST risotto!!!!!!!“

“We had great food last nite, cheeseburger and chicken fingers. Our server was Grace. She was awesome!“

“18 in Garlic Bread CheeseSteak with extra cheese is Delicious.Mega fries are really good to. The only thing I don’t recommend is the wiz it will ruin the cheesesteak it was to watery and made the bread soggy. We gave them a second chance and switched back to American cheese and it was really good. Very pricy. It’s usually a treat for us to eat here.But we are usually happy with the service and food,“

“Atmosphere/Ambience/Attention to detail: Welcoming & beautiful. Linen tablecloths and napkins are classy. Popovers served at the beginning of one’s meal…Classic & Classy. House Manager monitoring the floor speaks of days gone by…unfortunately. A “Fine Dining” establishment should necessarily have such a person present. Food: Good to Very Good. Service: Exceptional on 5/8/25 (Carey ?). Noise Level: Deafening due to vaulted ceiling and tables being so close together. Lacks privacy. You’re part of your neighbor’s conversation whether you want to be…or not. Overall: By far one of, if not The Best Restaurant in the area. If only they could work on the acoustics. Will try different times in the future. *JQ“

“Those cotton candy cosmos 😋 delicious“

“Amazing place with amazing food! The fries were great and I recommend getting them with the Wiz. Unfortunately, we are from our of town, otherwise this would would be one to add to the rotation for sure!

The service was good as well as our waitress helped answer our questions and made sure we were always well taken care of while there.“

“This is a good Friday’s. They closed the NYC locations (RIP) and we took the opportunity to get potato skins and green bean fries on the way back from a weekend away. Really delicious and carefully packed. When we walked in to grab the food, we were greeted warmly by a server. Also the bathrooms were very clean.
10/10 would recommend.“

“Breakfast was great! Our waitress was wonderful! Highly recommended.“

“My husband and I just tried The Iron Oven for the first time. It will definitely not be our last. We went for brunch and enjoyed everything we ordered down to my Drinks. Very reasonable prices and good size portions. The staff is very friendly and sweet. Our waitress Gianna was wonderful and she alone would have had us returning. Even the gentleman who brought out our food was super friendly. Highly recommend their brunch and cannot wait to go back for dinner soon. Great food, good prices, great staff and good vibe.“

“Great food and great drinks.“

“Great food and great service“

Update :
Nate the bartender is also very great and good at his job. We appreciated him service“

“Went for my son birthday dinner and it was amazing. Great food and great service. Our waitress Jenna was the best. Definitely will return and recommend to others.“

“Celebrated my son’s birthday here, in one of the party halls, excellent food, very attentive staff, couldn’t have been happier. Have been here a few times, for regular meals, always great food and drinks, and great service.“

“We are here all the time. You'll know, because the waitstaff knows my son always orders the barbecue chicken. It's a favorite place of ours. I've had almost every item on both the main and the special menus. The food is very good. The staff is friendly. In all the years we've come, there was only 1 mistake. Way to go everybody!“

“Yes, but make sure they get your order right, visited today for the first time in a while. My order (Stromboli) wasn’t correct but was acceptable…wife got a club, dry turkey and unevenly made. Manager took $4 off my Stromboli. Service was ok, we left disappointed in the food but not hungry…will be a while before we go back for another visit.“

“Quality, flavorful, seasonal food dishes that you can tell were chef inspired!

A great place for a date night or special event.

Large bar area as well with a full bar, but they have a selection of mock-tails on the menu.

Vegetarian options: Designated vegan options available

Dietary restrictions: Willing to accept modifications, they have designated and labeled dietary friendly options for GF, Vegan, and Vegetarian eating.

Parking: It’s the mall parking lot, so plenty of spaces

Kid-friendliness: Family restaurant on the nicer end, but still a warm family oriented place.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat 1st floor entry with a double door opening and the ability to roll from the street right onto the sidewalk and through the front door. Enough room once inside to maneuver around the front desk to the facilities or your table.“

“First time there and from the hostess to the waiters they were all friendly and the food was amazing. It is a cozy atmosphere and you will not be disappointed.“

“Everything about my daughter’s bridal shower was perfect! The venue looked beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was excellent- so nice and friendly. Our guests were impressed with the venue and I’m sure they will recommend it to others, as will I. Thank you to Jackie and all the staff for making our experience exceptional.“

“Great food and a friendly staff“

“Food was good. Atmosphere was nice for a visiting out-of-state police officer. Company stor offers a lot of Philly PD swag. Very "safe" environment. Will visit again the next time in town. Recommended for LEOs to add it to your list if in the area.“

“Great Food, Excellent Service from the Sister Act: Tina & Angie.“

“We recently celebrated my brother-in-law’s birthday here and we were all very impressed. Delicious food, excellent service, great atmosphere—what else could you ask for? Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Manhattan's cran cakes chicken franchese“

“Great location. Only a short wait to be seated. Very good hosts working well to get guests to a table. Kristina was our waitress and she was great. Friendly and good service!“

“We had dinner here for the first time on Sat, 11/12/22–what a wonderful experience! The staff was friendly and very helpful. We had muscles for our appetizer that were fresh and very tasty. We each had different entrees, one the salmon dish and the other chicken—both were amazing, with each of us saying we’d order our meal again or try the other one next time. Then dessert: one had the s’mores dessert and the other the chocolate bread pudding—we didn’t think we’d have room, but we made room, because both were excellent! Plus the chef said he’d be changing the menu every week—we can’t wait to go back!“

“First time going there and I loved it. Only thing was Canadian bacon was a little overcooked. Place was clean and cozy. Reminds me of a truck stop which I suggested to a nearby customer. Alana was amazing and patient. Love the prices and the hospitality. I also like the slot machines even though I lost ?. The French toast was filling and plentiful. I will definitely will return. Jersey future customer here .?“

“Good Service ❗Good Service ❗“

“My wife and I dined at the Trevor’s location on 8 April at approximately 6:28 P.M. Our waitress was Dzianna H. She was very courteous and responsive to our request and very knowledgeable about the menu. She should be commended for being a valuable member to the Crackerbarrel family. It is very refreshing to have customer service and an employee with such a positive attitude. Hope to have her as our server again. Stan & Linda“

“It would be more appropriate for the cooks & some servers use hair nets & beard nets.I been coming to the place for yrs. But things have change from more consideration to patrons..big hair & large beards fly around..ITS very not hygienic not covering up properly..“

“Had dinner there last night. Happy to say that my meal was wonderful. Large portion and just what I felt like eating. Only wish that I had taken home my left over veg. They were the "real" thing. All should go it is the best.“

“I truly enjoyed the food.“

“Tried Cosmos again for the 3rd time. Was really good. We both had an item that most people don't eat at a so called "pizza" restaurant. Salmon. Have to say it was really good. Good piece, nice size and tasted really good. Will definitely go back.“

“Great local place. Nice to come grab a quick meal or ice cream treat. The only negative for me is they never seem to wear gloves or use utensils when making brownie sundaes etc. I hate watching them take money or a card from someone and then touch a brownie right after.“

“I just ate the most delicious cheesesteak I've had in years courtesy of State Street Kitchen. It was literally perfect. The ingredients were fresh and tasty and there wasn't any possible way it could have been improved. A privilege.“

“Awesome place. Brunch was amazing“

“This is the best sandwich shop in the Philly area. It’s attached to the Home Depot store n Bustleton ave. It’s hard to believe there isn’t a line out the door. I believe it’s due to the large Ukrainian population in the area.“

“We had our semi-annual breakfast there once again. As usual, great food and service. We had Jessica and Courtney , our regular waitresses, they are great. All the guys love them. They handled 41 Sears TractorTrailer drivers - no problem. We’ll be back in six months (4/11/25). At the end some of us waited for this picture.“

“Very nice server. The Smashburger was solid. Loved the sauce. Bacon fried nice. I’d enjoy a double option for us big eaters! Wonderful fries. I would’ve preferred more graham crackers in the smores sunday but it was neat. Cool little joint here.“

“I just went for the first time and had a an amazing breakfast sandwich. I knew at first bite my sausage egg and cheese was far greater then any other I have had in a long time. The sausage had a awesome flavor along with the long delicious roll. My new favorite spot.“

“Never disappointed fast service family of 5 out in 40 mins no issues“

“Never knew this place existed. Happened to be parked there to go in 7/11 when I saw this place.
Friendly when you come in.. prices are pretty good. The chicken was fried crispy and moist. Wasn't dry at all. Chicken seasoned to perfection!
And the French Fries was delicious ?
I will definitely revisit and try something else.
Meal order was chicken and fries!!“

“Love coming here w my son We both enjoy their entree- soups and the ice cream“

“Good fries😉Burger cooked as ordered and service excellent 💕“

“My husband and I came for our wedding anniversary and we enjoyed everything… started off with the clams casino and burrata/tomato salad, 8 oz filet (cooked perfectly!) and finished off with the crème brûlée. The passion fruit martini was delicious, too!! Service was excellent!! I’d definitely recommend!!“

“This unassuming cafe is on the lower level of the Carteret Arms apartments. The residence is a place for the elderly and thus the hours are a bit wonky. Provided you want a meal before 6pm, this should be a go-to spot. \n\nEverything is delicious. They lean towards fried foods, but have a great selection of seafood dishes and grilled options. Neighborhood favorites include the island pasta, which is close to divine. \n\nOn this visit we tried the grilled chicken sandwich and the blackened sandwich, both of which hit the spot. Good greens and cabbage, too. The owner makes homemade desserts. There are a variety of soft drinks and it is otherwise BYOB. \n\nThere is a small area for dining if you want to eat in.“

“The Pines is our favorite place to land after work, or weekday lunch, or game day! The food is fantastic and the excellent servers make every visit that much more fun. Occasional live music is a bonus!“

“We were there last night for dinner and to see the band. What a pleasant experience ! Upon driving up didn’t know what to expect, our first time there. Friendly staff all around beginning with receptionist who gave us a little tour of the layout. Our server was so busy very pleasant and attentive, food was excellent, high quality and delicious. After dinner went to the outside bar where the band was performing. Again very pleasant and attentive servers. If you’ve been there you know, if not make plans to go. Thank you Union House for a very pleasant evening.“
