29 Best American Restaurants near Monessen

“By George is a hidden diamond resturant which of was in the center of Manhattan’s busy city world, you’d never get a table, because the food, the bar service, and the relaxed atmosphere is just too good. If you haven’t tried By George & enjoy Lamb, Steaks, or Chicken dishes, you must treat yourself to this incredible food experience!! This is my favorite local restaurant.“

“We went here on a whim because another place a few towns over was booked solid. I agree, they need to make their "cash only" policy more evident upon arrival. My wife and I got side salads, and the house dressing was vinegar forward - I liked that, but some mightn't. Our friend shared his order of Awesome Blossom Petals, and they were good. I got the Italian sausage bake. It's a lot, and it was good, but not so good that I'm interested in reheating the to-go leftovers. Our waitress was nice. It was weird that the hostess and the waitress were sitting at the dining table next to us when they weren't waiting on us. They have tripe, so they're still on the "I'll probably go back to check that out" list.“

“Food was delicious! No complains! Everything was cooked well done. Service was very awesome well polite. Highly recommend you try it! Fast service called in order and everything ordered was well completed. Can’t say enough about it! Well worth the money I spent for lunch! No Complaints! 5 Star Ratings!!“

“This was a mixed bag. There were 8 of us. Parking is sufficient, right off 88, not hard to find. Easy wheelchair access. After ordering, you seat yourself. They don't take reservations. Waitresses bring your drinks & food to the table.You order at a cafeteria counter, but the food is upscaled. They smoke their own meats outside in the parking lot. The menu is varied with brisket & pulled pork as the smoked products served in familiar as well as new formats like a pulled pork taco. Smelled great, but I was determined to try the buttered lobster roll. It was amazing! Small, tender bun stuffed with the meat of 1 lobster all in butter, unfortunately I did bite into a small bit of shell. Hubby tried the lentil, ham, veggie soup. It was a pretty large bowl & really good. His entree was a shaved ribeye sandwich, also excellent, although I thought it could have had more meat. Crispy, salted waffle fries were terrific. Others had burger, small plate salmon dinner, crab cake - everyone was pleased. The desserts were not very good. Creme Brulee & cheesecake were good, cookies & brownies were hard, not good.Overall, I would go back again. Next trip I will be trying those tacos.“

“Very good food - a family friendly atmosphere. We stopped in based off reviews and it didn't disappoint. We were seated quickly and our server was friendly and attentive. Food came out fast and hot. Loved the food options - from burgers to pizza to seafood - a little something for everyone! I'd highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Grilled food, salads, etc for healthier options“

“I was passing through town and was told Paci’s never disappoints. So I had to try it. They were right. The food was great, the service was great and the people sitting near me were very friendly to top it off. I only wish I didn’t live 10 hours away in GA, because I would visit here often.“

“I brought my granddaughter there for breakfast and we couldn't have been happier. The staff was attentive and super friendly even on an extremely busy morning. Both of our breakfasts came out exactly how we asked and was delicious. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an old school family place and not the chain bland breakfast.“

“Great old tavern & grill, on the top of the hill, down by the river in Charleroi. The food has always been very good and they have large portions too! I would recommend giving them a try, when looking for a different small business option.“

“POSITIVE - This is an amazing location for a variety of outdoor lifestyles both Male & Female and also kid friendly to enjoy. They host Car shows, Bike Nights, live band and many others for great photo opportunities and social media tags. The food is good and reasonably priced however it is a "CASH ONLY" business. So be sure to stop at an ATM before arriving. Alcohol is reasonably priced also.There parking lot is massive and every event I attend has been packed. So if you are tired of indoor restaurants or just want to experience a fun outdoor adventure. Tiki is the place to be.NEGATIVE - They need to have a lot more shaded seating [preferably away from the stage]. It's a hit or miss that I and as many others are forced to stand, holding and eating our food & drinks because many customers just place purses and other items on the chairs & tables like some deck chairs at some resort then take off. Due to lack of seating, events do not last very long. (2 or 3 hours) than everyone leaves standing too long.Bring Ear Plugs. Noone does a sound check and more often than not the live bands play at a volume heard across the highway for no good reason. Another reason many people only stay for 30min to an hour.Kid-friendliness: The car shows and bike nights are great events to get kids outside and marvel at historical machinery, socialize and get fresh air.Parking: Massive parking lot. Most see to understand. Every event I've attended also has been free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Outdoor location on more or less relatively flat surfaces. They do have at least 1 wheelchair accessible Porta Potty.“

“I WOULD RATE 10 STARS IF I COULD!!! I LOVE A GOOD WING AND SAUCE AND WHEN MY BARBER SUGGESTED TIM'S PLACE FOR THE BUFFALO WINGS, I WAS HOOKED!!!! THESE WINGS ARE NOT SPICY, MORESO MILD, BUT SOOOOOOO DAG ON GOOD!!!! YOU WANT MORE AND MORE OF HIS SIGNATURE BUFFALO SAUCE ON THEM!!!! ITS A BUTTERY BUFFALO SAUCE THAT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED!!! I CAN EAT THESE WINGS EVERY DAY!!!!!! AWESOME AWESOME!!!!!“

“Great beers, ciders, and even mead! We got the food truck and wandered in. The bartender Travis was very welcoming, he suggested things based on what I told him about my taste. It's very clean, professional establishment. We will definitely be back. They even have a nice mural of west Newton on the wall!“

“Stopped in while biking the GAP and had the perfect breakfast to keep me fueled for the rest of my ride. Waitresses were very kind and attentive. Can't wait to go back on my next ride!Parking: Nice outdoor seating next to the building where you can take to-go orders.“

“This old school house serves up a delicious lunch menu. (Go to White Dove spa upstairs first.) Their Turkey Devonshire uses real roasted turkey (unlike a famous downtown venue.) Highly recommend the soup & lunch salad. Don't miss the homemade pastry selections!“

“We had a funeral luncheon here, and everything was perfect. The banquet room was the right size for our party. People had room to move around and socialize, and it's set apart from the main dining area so it felt private.Even better was the food. There were several options to select for banquet catering and our food was delicious. The rigatoni was a perfect al dente. We had a few people less than anticipated, and to go boxes were provided for our guests.The best part of our event was the service. Jenna helped me plan the event and made suggestions on the menu (she was right about everything!). Jenna and Angelina were our servers. They were wonderful. They checked several times for refills and anything we needed. I'd host another event here in a heartbeat.“

“Love this local place. Great "bar" food. Wings are the best anywhere. And the buff chick dip is yummy too. Only thing that affects negatively is when the door to the bar (smoking) area is left open or opened frequently because that smell comes through dining area. But still love this place. Always friendly and it's local ❤️“

“2nd time here, food is great! Options were cabbage roll dinner or shrimp. Family had the cabbage rolls and I ordered the shrimp. Really great food and a lot of it. Peanut butter pie was really yummy. Glad we went back and look forwards to our next visit!“

“The mushroom swiss burger was excellent. My spouse had shrimp scampi which he said was good but meal was small.... nothing served but small portion of shrimp and noodles. ( no side salad or bread) The dinner cost was too expensive . The sandwiches were well priced. Our server was excellent.“

“I have nothing but good things to say about the Riverhouse. They helped us greatly when it came time to plan a luncheon for after a funeral. They opened up for us and could not have been any nicer. The staff especially Marley and one of the owners Jimmy really helped us out. We ate there a total of 3 times including the luncheon that week and everything was perfect everytime. They really made a stressful time in your life alot easier.“

“This restaurant is local to us and I've probably passed it literally 1000 times driving around since I was 16 and never stopped for a snack or a meal so, I took my mother here for her 83rd birthday last week and will definitely be back...Perfectly cooked and presented food and exemplary service is the key here... The interior definitely gives you the 70's vibe but, you're not going here to eat the decorations right ???I definitely suggest to get there early because at 8pm (They close at 9pm) they were out of the Lobster Special and the soup of the day which was Lobster Bisque...I had a perfectly cooked Blackened Ahi Tuna that I very much enjoyed and my mom had the Chicken Parmesan which was perfectly prepared as well...I'm probably gonna go back this weekend for a quick sammich/snack on the fly because the first experience was just really good...Overall, I'd absolutely recommend this place anytime you're feeling a bit hungry and don't feel like cooking ???“

“Great bar with good people. 4 pool tables, a day board, golf game, and lots of slot machines to provide a variety of entertainment.. the owner will always work to keep good people there, and happily remove anyone who causes a problem. Pretty much just got dogs, sausage, and pizza for food, but great bartenders and atmosphere over all.“

“If you like cozy little family restaurants, I highly recommend this place! The food is homemade and delicious! The perfect comfort food. Lots of options on the menu, and super cheap prices! The staff is super friendly as well. I can’t wait to come back!“

“We just had the best dinners at Rizzles (Feb 7)….my husband had steak cooked to his specs…rare…. He said “it was perfect “!!! I had baby back ribs …excellent… sauce was perfect…..staff pleasant and professional….we will definitely be back!!!! Dessie and Rusty“

“The food was amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious. We had a party of 7. Everyone enjoyed their food. The servings were big. My husband said his cactus smash burger was very good. I got the chicken bacon ranch. It was huge and delicious. The specialty drinks were good. The service was good. They did have only one cook working at the time and we had a big order. They did a really good job of getting the food ready. We would definitely go back there to eat.“

“I'm a over-the-road truck driver and I live in Atlanta, GA. I was picking up a load right next door and I must say the food and service was amazing. Thank you for making my experience so wonderful and pleasant. Keep up the good work. You guys ROCK. May God bless you all ?“

“Amazing place!!! If you have been considering trying it, get off your butt and go!Excellent service, very reasonable prices, delicious food!The egg roll appetizer is a surprising addition to the menu that is simple but quite tasty.The bacon cheeseburger is a hand formed 1/2 pound patty that was cooked to perfection and loaded with fresh veggies and a nice amount of bacon.Salads are generous and look very fresh with high quality ingredients and dressings.Club sandwich is absolutely massive! Loaded with what looked to be damn near a full pound of meat.You simply can't beat the quality of the food and service for any price...let alone for the prices there.Can't wait to go back and catch their breakfast!Highly recommend.“

“Great family friendly restaurant with something for everyone on menu. Staff is friendly; food ready in only a short wait time.Parking: Many spaces; handicap spaces available directly in frontWheelchair accessibility: No barriers except no automatic exterior door“

“Home town small business. CASH only, they do have an ATM if you need.This place feels like old times, better times. Not modern in any sense of the word, but very welcoming. If you're offended easily, this is not the establishment for you.Ham BBQ sandwich was delicious and filling. The side of fries were an actual side, not overflowing to make up for poor food quality.Wait staff was pleasant and accommodating. I will be coming back.My only critique, the floor cleanliness needs to be improved. I didn't notice until going towards the restroom that the tiles could be ivory white or better. There's a section of high traffic carpet that needs cleaned, as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of handicap parking up front“

“This place is second to none! Top notch on everything. We had my husbands retirement celebration there last Saturday. We had another venue and 5 days before the event we decided we were making a mistake and called Lynn at the Red Lion Restaurant. On short notice Lynn accommodated every single request we asked her for. We had an extensive Menü, Stuff PorkChops, Roast Beef in gravy, Seafood Alfredo, Rigatoni, Red Roasted Potatoes and a vegetable melody, A charcuterie table that was amazing, the food was excellent, the service was incredible, her staff went far and beyond to make this event special! I want to thank them all for making this celebration in our families life so special and a beautiful memory we will cherish for ever. Do not hesitate to book your event or have dinner or lunch at this restaurant you will not be disappointed.“
