50 Best American Restaurants near Mars

“Great diner with great home cooked food“

“The Eat 'n Park on Perry Highway, Mars is a very comfortable restaurant in which to eat. The food is always well prepared and I have never experienced anything but excellent service. My friend and I meet there about once a month for breakfast. This past Wednesday 2-4-26, we had Tamara for our waitress. Not our first time with her. Absolutely outstanding! She took our order, served it, checked on us often, and kept our coffee cups filled - all very efficiently, and with a smile on her face. We always leave feeling good about our visit, and look forward to our next time, thanks to the overall great experience.“

“Came in 45 minutes before closing being one of the only tables Frank made us feel welcomed and had organic conversation, his hospitality was top notch.

I didn’t care for my burger but the fries and my partners wrap was outstanding
If I’m on that side of the country I’d like to get that wrap again 👌“

“Finally getting to writing reviews for the best few vendors from my August 2019 wedding. I am a little hesitant to post this since their Facebook page seems to have gone silent and reviews on other platforms indicate that management and menus may have changed in the last 6 months. But I was so pleased with my experience that it only seems fair to give credit where credit is due…. If you are looking for a rehearsal dinner location in Cranberry and have 30 guests or less, I highly recommend the private room at Ember and Vine in the lobby of the DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh-Cranberry. We researched every restaurant in the area and Ember and Vine at DoubleTree delivered a perfect solution. Their facilities are beautiful and modern, and the staff was so nice and accommodating. Although they can do traditional seated banquet-style meals, we wanted something distinctly different from our wedding dinner the following day. We chose to order off their regular restaurant menu and have them cordon off a portion of the lobby area next to the private room, where a buffet was placed with different flavors of wings, woodfired pizzas, salad, and their oh-so-yummy crispy brussels sprouts. Not only were they flexible with the setup and menu (accommodating multiple food allergies), they also provided the option to have a limited bar within the private room or have our guests use the full bar in the lobby. Having the private room but also the cordoned off lobby area gave us extra area to mingle and a great balance between private space and the fun energy and ambiance from the restaurant and bar. Our guests loved the food and had loads of fun! Other factors that made Ember and Vine a clear winner for us were: - They had a very low minimum spend. Other locations with private dining had a ridiculous minimum spend that would be difficult to meet with a 20-30 person guest list. - The large parking lot. We looked at other options closer to our venue and parking was limited. - Flexibility with timing. We gave them a general time frame for arrival, but not knowing how long the rehearsal would take, they told us just to call them when we were 20 minutes out. Thanks DoubleTree and Ember and Vine for a classy venue and excellent food that let my husband and me and our closest friends and family relax and have a great time before our big day!!“

“Had a very nice meal here. Our waitress was cheyenne and she was great. All of our food was good. Only complaint i had was my steak salad was really small. Im a big eater so when I order a salad I hope it will fill me. Aside from that it was great“

“We met at this Applebee's to celebrate with my elderly parents and my aunts for a birthday lunch. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants because I have severe IBS triggered by foods, sauces, dressings that contain onions, garlic, shallots, chives, scallions, onion/garlic powder...

I asked our server if I could order a basket of tortilla chips. We then continued to discuss my food issues and she was so kind to check all of their meats, brines, queso...

Unfortunately I didn't get her name but she was so kind and helpful...Kudos to her!“

“Loved the Strawberry Fields chicken salad, the chicken bacon Ranch Piadina, and the Pizookie Trio was so decadent! Dustin B.was our server. polite, professional, helpful and friendly. Ask for him when you stop in!“

“We were at Maggie & Taylor's wedding yesterday, their favorite restaurant. The wedding on the patio was beautiful. The reception was fantastic, love the atmosphere!“

“The Hype DJ Duo had the absolute pleasure of DJing a wedding at the Glen Eden Barn! We can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful and well-managed venues we have ever worked at to date. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless — the staff was incredibly welcoming, organized, and attentive, making setup and logistics a breeze. The space itself is stunning! The barn has such a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both the ceremony and the reception. Not to mention, the absolute stunning view!!! The acoustics were great for music, and the lighting options made it easy to create an unforgettable ambiance on the dance floor. Guests were raving about how beautiful everything looked, and as a DJ, it made our job even more fun seeing everyone dance and celebrate in such a gorgeous setting. We can’t recommend Glen Eden Barn enough for couples looking for a venue that combines charm, professionalism, and a magical vibe. What truly made the experience unforgettable was the owner. David went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. His attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care for both the couple and the vendors stood out right away. It’s rare to work with someone so passionate and organized, and it made our job so enjoyable.“

“Friendly staff and great atmosphere“

“Unfortunately, I’m here almost every day! A lot of menu options, comfort food, and a community of friends. Renae, the daytime bartender, is sketchy, but I love her! Totally kidding, she is family!!! Love this place.“

“We chose the Harmony Inn for a celebration of life and, while there was a little difficulty scheduling due to a change in management, the experience was perfect. We loved the comfortable, intimate atmosphere and our waitress (Amy if I recall correctly), was phenomenal. A big thanks to the Harmony Inn for accommodating my zany family!“

“Robinson Cracker Barrel. Dinner was the best thus far. I had the Broccoli cheddar chicken …. Delicious 😋“

“Was there with 2 friends tonight. The burgers were delicious and the fries pile was huge, hot & crunchy. Would definitely go back & recommend if you have never been.“

“First time visiting. Definitely worth the drive from Pittsburgh. Easily accessible, convenient parking. Party of two, dined inside. Enjoyed appetizers, entree and dessert. Food was delicious, and excellent - PERSONAL - service. Our waitress was Janet, and she was absolutely wonderful. Ended up striking conversation with her and another couple. Will definitely be returning!“

“The best chicken parm around! The sauce is absolutely amazing! A group of 6 of us ate for under $100 including drinks! Everything was delicious and the value is unbeatable. Definitely a must-try! 🍝❤️“

“Staying at a hotel in town, utilized Uber eats since my truck and trailer are not restaurant friendly. Ordered lasagna. WOW. Best lasagna I’ve had in a long time. Good mix of sauce, meat, noodles, and cheese.“

“Have been to First Watch multiple times . Food is always excellent and the service is great .Would highly recommend First Watch in McCandless.“

“The first time stopping in during Fall Festival and was not sure what to expect but with just two people working downstairs and what quickly became a packed floor, they really made a great impression. The margarita and fried rice bowl were Amazing. I can't wait to come back and try more.“

“I DoorDashed for this and WOW! The food was so fresh! Great portion sizes for the price! I love having fresh fruit as a side to my Power Wrap, which was phenomenal! My daughter loved her parfait bowl as well! Will definitely be ordering again!“

“First time we ate here, despite living in town. Thought we would try the breakfast. We didn't know what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised with the food. The bacon was hot and crispy and so were the home fries. The coffee was excellent along with the service. Best kept secret in Zelie. We will be back.“

“My husband surprised me with an impromptu date night, and this restaurant fit the bill perfectly. They were very accommodating despite us not having a reservation. We chose to sit on the back patio; this was a wonderful choice for a warm spring evening. We were so pleased that they were open since many restaurants are closed on Mondays and they were quite busy. Our meal was delicious and the service was very good. We would absolutely recommend the pork ribeye and the Caribbean jerk cod. Both were perfectly seasoned and cooked.“

“Nestled in Burbank, Eat N Park is a phenomenal breakfast spot & is a true hidden gem! Get there early because it does get packed and for good reason! Eat N Park, an Armenian owned restaurant offers a huge breakfast with some lunch additions. This place offers dishes packed with flavor, huge portions and low prices! The omelets are amazing, the Belgian waffles, strawberry crepes fantastic & the pancakes are out of this world!!! And don’t get me started on the biscuits…hands down the best I’ve ever had! My hats off to the chef for cooking comfort food that made me feel like I was at home! The hospitality is beyond amazing! The owners are extremely welcoming and serve as well. They treat everyone as if you were dining in their home! From one Armenian Chef to another Shad Shad shunorhagal em! We will definitely see you again soon!“

“I’d feel super comfortable with my daughter going out for a night at this bar. Scott the head of security goes above and beyond to make sure that place is safe. I am super impressed by Scott and he is a key asset to the team at North Park. BEAST.“

“We LOVE Kanlaya. Small family run business. Food is amazing and reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Some of our family favorites: Crab Rangoon, Tom kha soup, Pad woon sen, pineapple fried rice, all the curry’s, and the fried banana dessert is so good. Take the 0-4 Spice level seriously. 😉 I get Spicy 1 and that is plenty spicy.“

“Good food& decent prices.“

“My wife and l came there for the 1st time to dine for our anniversary. The place was hopping at 4:00 pm and l had reservation at 4:30. We waited at the bar and they text me at 4:30 that our table was ready. We chose to sit outside on the patio overlooking the fountain. Our server Casey was fantastic! I told her it was our 39th wedding anniversary and she delivered above and beyond customer service. The food was a little slow getting to our table due to a shortage of workers, however she kept us entertained and supplied us with libations until our meals arrived! When desert came she wrote on the plates Happy Anniversary. That was grand. She took the time to get to know us in a very short period of time. Hats off to Casey! She is a keeper! We loved the restaurant and we will return again!! Louis and Deborah“

“I cannot stress how much my friends and I enjoyed this place.The staff were so welcoming and friendly. We had great recommendations on the food which was A + all around. If they weren't an hour away I would be a regular. Great experience.“

“We love coming to Longhorn Steakhouse in Cranberry! The food is always top-notch and consistently great—which says a lot coming from us, as my husband is a chef and has high standards. Hands down one of the best dining options in the area. We’re always excited to come back“

“I’m not fully sure why there are bad or negative reviews to this place (of course I didn’t see this before dinning) but, the food was pretty good. Friendly staff, the burger was cooked exactly the way I wanted it to be cooked. Got a butt load of fries that tasted good as well.
Overall, it’s good. Not a whole lot of options on the menu for my liking but it makes choosing easier.
Ambience, not much since it’s at the hotel.“

“Delicious!! Everything from the espresso martini to the Steak Frites and finished off with the desserts, was top notch and absolutely delicious. Great service and atmosphere.“

“We recently went to Marty’s based on reviews and weren’t disappointed. The wait staff what short staffed but she kept on moving and we all had tour delicious food relatively quickly. The French onion soup was delicious and the kids were happy.“

“Ate here tonight at Bill’s roadhouse. Food had very large portions, very well done!! Cole slaw was great and cod was large and finished right!! My wife’s sandwich was HUGH and very good. Service was great and friendly. Would HIGHLY recommend this place. Just a great overall meal!! At a GREAT PRICE!!!!“

“We had such a wonderful experience at The Turn Club! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and sitting out on the patio made for such a perfect evening. A huge part of what made our dinner so enjoyable was our server, Kevin. He was clearly very busy, but you would never know it from his attitude or the level of service he gave us. He stayed friendly, attentive, and upbeat the entire time and never made us feel rushed or overlooked. He was also incredibly helpful when we were looking over the menu, answering questions and giving recommendations on what was good. Excellent service can completely change a dining experience, and Kevin truly made ours memorable. We would absolutely return just because of the service he provided — and the fact that the food was so yummy is an added bonus! Highly recommend The Turn Club, and if you’re lucky enough to have Kevin as your server, you’re in great hands.“
