50 Best American Restaurants near Marietta

“Our son's wedding reception was held here, and it was our first time visiting. I was being a bit nosy about the basement when a gentleman who worked there noticed and kindly asked if we’d like to take a peek. Thank you again — that small gesture showed how much you care about your visitors’ experience. During the reception, a family with three young kids started to get a little bored. That same gentleman came out with a basket of brand-new Matchbox cars and gave each child one. Wow! What a thoughtful and above-and-beyond thing to do. You truly helped make their day — and ours — even brighter. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality!“

“Be careful if going here. It looks like they are having real issues with trouble makers, which can happen with any tavern along the river. About 10 days ago they confronted a person outside who refused to pay. That guy pulled a gun on the employee and threatened to shoot them in the head. Look online, you'll see the news story. We went there with another couple anyway for supper aware of the situation that possibly the management wasn't able to keep the trouble out of the place. Within minutes Courtney had our drinks at the table and placed our food orders ... and then some white trash at the bar left out a super loud screech or whistle looking for attention. It was bad. Then he did it again a few minutes later and left. One more time and I'd have gotten involved. The owner needs to hire some beefy enforcement right now to keep a handle on this or the place is going to get a reputation like the Bainbridge Inn as a good place to raise hell and start a fight. NOT date night atmosphere.“

“When we go we always sit at the bar. The staff are a riot and make you feel at home. Hanging with the regulars is very entertaining and enjoyable! Everything we’ve ordered has been delicious!“

“Awesome place!!! Always enjoy going here.“

“great food, great service, and the beer wasn't bad either 🙃, I'll be back.“

“Today, had lunch at The First Post in York, PA. The place is nice and spacious, located on East Market Street. Our party of four shared a ravioli appetizer and had French Onion soup. Both were delicious!!! Easily the best French Onion soup I've eaten!!! For lunch, we each had something different. My Aunt had Salmon Salad. My wife had The Post Steak Sandwich with fries. Our son had the Blackened Shrimp Alfredo. I settled for.the Fish & Chips!! Each of us loved our meals - taking at least half home!! The portions were enormous!!! To wrap up, we decided on some dessert. My Aunt and wife had the Creme Brulee. My son and I had the Chocolate Reese Cake Tort. So good!!!! Service was phenomenal!! If in the York, PA area, you MUST stop in and eat up!!!“

“Waitress Tiffany was very nice along with the cook! Cute place to grab a bit to eat❤️ Keep up the good work!“

“We visited Bullies Saturday evening, 4/9. For starters I had the mussels. Absolutely delicious. I'd go back just for them. My wife had bacon wrapped scallops. They were really good, also. For entrees I had the Kona tenderloin steak. It was perfectly cooked and fork tender. My only issue, it came out barely luke warm. Same for my French fries. I'd call them cold. The roasted brussel sprouts, which I was really anticipating, were tasty, but all but burned and only luke warm. Though I should have said something to the server, I didn't. My bad. My wife's meal, beef tenderloin tips, were perfectly cooked, hot and fork tender, with mushroom and onion gravy. They were on a bed of rice. Dessert was creme brulee and NY cheesecake. Both were very good. I was disappointed with the cheesecake slice, being about half the size of what I consider a normal sized slice. All in all, a tasty meal. I'd return, but in the future insist on a HOT meal, not luke warm.“

“Delicious food and great service! We have been coming to Country Meadows for many years! Love everything about this restaurant!“

“Get the crab soup. Amazing. All of us love our dinners. Fish and chips was awesome. Lime cilantro pizza was very tasty with lots of flavors. Crab cakes were very good though a bit on the small side. And the apricot bourbon salmon was scrumptious. Our server was engaging, knowledgeable, and efficient. The creme brulee and the lemon raspberry cake were fantastic! Only downside was the noise level. They could lower it with a few acoustic tiles.“

“Total experience top tier. The authenticy from the people to the place sent me in overload of nostalgia reminiscing from when my Nanny was alive & visiting her and being in her kitchen (she had same type of tables and older kitchen gadgets, right down to the whiskey container's too) with her cooking breakfast. Everything sent me into an emotional rollercoaster it was the saddest but best feeling ever! Thank you!“

“Excellent service. Our server was Billy. Great food.“

“We were just here for the first time. Very good first impression. Excellent food and service! Will definitely come back!“

“Little rough in the beginning, BUT ...Sam n Rabbit made up for it, plus pleasant waitress, Sabrina . Definitely worth the wait and we will be back.“

“Best Burgers in town and bottomless fries. You cannot go wrong at the fixins bar. When I think of burgers I think of Fuddruckers“

“Terrific food!! Great service!“

“They Have the best chicken Caesar salad!“

“First time visit for lunch today. This place is OUTSTANDING in every category! I got the turkey club and my wife got the grilled chicken salad. Both were delicious! We saved room for dessert and got a grilled peach muffin and coffee. KILLER! Very friendly staff, and exceptionally clean throughout. Can’t wait to go back and try breakfast.“

“Great food nice atmosphere“

“What a hidden treasure !!! Best diner in Lancaster County!! Their rye toast , home fries , ham are incredible! Everything we had was home made and absolutely delicious!“

“my waitress was outstanding! she was so pleasant. I will definitely be looking for her the next time. The food was delicious. it was my grandsons 16th birthday and everything was perfect.“

“Prices are fare, food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. our waiter was the best!“

“We went on 2/8/25. Staying at the Hampton inn for a dance comp. Our waiter, unfortunately l, didn’t catch his name was absolutely AMAZING! More people kept getting added to our party, he, without hesitation, added more tables and chairs. He took our orders and separated the checks without us even asking. He just really went above and beyond and was amazing! I hope he gets the recognition he deserves! Thank you again! Food and drinks were 10/10!“

“Super friendly service , large portions good BBQ“

“Old-school, Greek-run Diner which appears to be popular with the post-Church crowd. Hefty money with lots of choices. My chicken gyro was delicious but my husband prefers my family's chip beef and the gravy was a little heavy on flour and too thick. Lovely service while we had grumpy kiddos.“

“Best steak and eggs I’ve had easily in the last decade. All the portions were huge. Entire family raved about the meal. Only thing that makes me sad about here is I didn’t know until today that they existed but we will definitely be back! Staff very nice and personable also. Not a negative thing to say honestly.“

“Beanie’s delivers exactly what a local bar & grill should: bold portions and punchy flavor. The Volcano Burger was a full send. Juicy patty, onion rings stacked high, jalapeños, salsa and ranch. A punch full of flavor. The Southwest Chipotle wings had that smoky heat balance dialed in. Not just spice for shock value — actual flavor layered in. The patty melt leaned classic comfort with a side of fries. Nothing over the top. It was perfect, and seasoned beautifully. The mild wings over fries (Monday deal win) proved you can still get a solid meal for just $10. The nachos? Exactly what you want. Cheese, jalapeños, taco meat onions, salsa and sour cream. Atmosphere-wise, it feels local in the best way — relaxed on one side, bar going on the other. Perfect mix for introverts and extroverts. This is the kind of spot that builds community through food and friends. Sincerely , Full Effect Eats ❤️🍽️“

“This place is so underrated. I don't get it, the parking lot is practically empty all the time but this place is legit the best restaurant in the area. The food is always unique, the draft beer selection is second to none in this town (have to go to Lancaster city or Harrisburg to compete with this). Music selection is good, servers are chill... I don't get why this place isn't packed. If u pass thru Etown u need to go to the Black Gryphon.“

“Played today for the first time with 2 friends. Greens were in good shape, tee boxes were a bit rough. Bummed that bar and restaurant were not open after our round. Would definitely play here again though.“

“went there for lunch ,we were greeted by great waitress and the food was outstanding their specials were great ànd very reasonable and their bar drink special was great going to go there more offen!“

“First time here while in area. We had Cajun chicken wrap, bang bang shrimp burrito and steak tip sub. All were very tasty and nice and hot! Our server Devlin, was very friendly and attentive. Cannot wait to return. Nice older building, great atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“This restaurant is Excellent in Every category! I have Never had a bad meal at this restaurant. The food is just as great as the view overlooking the golf course. There is plenty of seating, a large game room and many options! The bathrooms are clean and the waiters and waitresses are excellent! Honestly, I don’t know how anyone could knock this place. In my book it is Top Notch on all levels!“

“I have read all the reviews others have written and I agree whole heartedly with the great food, the wonderful friendly and family oriented atmosphere, and the extremely attentive service . I have been coming every week with my mentor and awesome friend to get caught up and to break bread together over the past year. The owners are so kind and friendly. I truly believe their mission there is to provide a wonderfully wholistic family dining experience that leaves the customer feeling cared for.“

“Village Green was a nice spot for a meal. The food was good, but slightly overpriced. The service was slower than expected but the servers were kind. The atmosphere is plain & painted in all grey. Probably wouldn't go again with other options out there. Overall, 4 out of 5.“

“Food was hot and tasted good, would eat there again.“

“The mushroom burger was delicious 😋“

“Wow….the service here from Eddie and Jen is out of this world! We rarely go out anymore because prices are crazy and people are awful. So glad we came here - great food, UNBELIEVABLE service, and fair prices. We’ll be back for sure!!!“

“Arrived in town for a short stay from Florida. The minute we arrived we were greeted by professional and young college kids at the hostess stand. We waited for 10 minutes while our table was assigned. Perfect table on the terrace facing the 18th hole. Sarah our hostess from Penn state was a joy to get to know. We all ordered from the huge menu selection and couldnt decide what to order. We saw The table next to us and the presentation looked amazing. We finally ordered steaks and salmon as our meal with delicious drinks. Perfect Saturday night at a great venue in York Pa. Keep up the great work Shaun Conway and your team. We will be back. Thank you for your hospitality!“

“My experience at Longhorn Steakhouse was the best we've had without a doubt. There was no wait so we were seated right away and the booth was large and clean.

Trista attended to our table promptly and so thoroughly that we didn't have to ask for anything additional.

Usually we have to ask for additional napkins for our kids, A1 Sauce for my daughter's steak, sometimes we have to ask for the bread, but with Trista, she was on top of all of this without even being asked. She was very comprehensive in the service she provided and expertly anticipated our needs.

I would consider this one of the most memorable dining experiences we've had in recent memory and would love to visit again to receive the same experience.“

“I stop here at least once a week. Their beverages are wonderful...sandwiches aren't bad either. Their soups on the other hand leave a lot to be desired. I had the veggie last week...it was so peppery that I couldn't eat it...I had the Italian Wedding soup this week...that was just a downright disgrace! The broth was so salty and I have never had or made Italian wedding soup with sausage meatballs...there wasn't any chicken to be found and carrots, spinach and orzo were nonexistent. The broth was so dark at first I thought they made a mistake. Lesson learned...next time I want Italian Wedding soup I will make my own.“

“I used to go to Lucky Duck a lot and then stopped when they took salmon off their menu a few years ago. HOWEVER, my group decided they wanted to go to Lucky Duck and I agreed ... Very happy to discover that salmon is back ... and may have been for a while now ... I was happy to be seated in my formerly regular table ... service was great and the food was delicious!!!“

“they have the greatest subs around and the people are amazing I love them!“

“Everyone there is so friendly, respectful and welcoming. They treat you like family. They are so accommodating. We held our daughter and son-in-law’s 25th Anniversary there and they were absolutely amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. We strongly recommend you visit them for we know that you won’t be disappointed.“

“Best local joint. Great subs!“

“The workers were very kind,cordial and congenial and the girl with the braces had such A lovely smile,but the pizza was burned on the bottom and the crust was so hard and thin so my first visit is also my last.Its back to Whopper wednesday for me instead of half price pizza“

“I stop over after my guard shift at the mall on Fridays and although I don't eat fried chicken everyday I could! eat this Fried Chicken every'day The woman there is spunky but very nice and thoughtful and helpful she doesn't look at the reviews but I'm leaving one, Live long and prosper" Bairs fan yours truly And if you pronounce the name wrong you will be corrected?“

“Best meal is the Steak Kebabs! The seasoning on the steak and rice is perfect. Add a side of the steamed broccoli and it’s a hit every time.“

“The bartender Dana was friendly. She greeted and sat us. Our server Francheska was kind and attentive! The owner Joy stopped at our table which I thought was cool. Good prices and good food!“

“The people that work there are GREAT! I love the events like Pocus Focus, karaoke and BINGO.“
