50 Best American Restaurants near New Britain

“The food options are fantastic. The burgers have flame grilled flavor with hearty bacon. The chicken strips are impressive and consistently large and flavorful. Much better option than Cane's in my opinion. The family enjoys the fried rice ranking higher than several Asian restaurants in the same area. Beyond protein choice, cannot customize ingredients- example, no onions. When I arrive the location is empty, no line, yet feel rushed to transact in 10 seconds. Learn from other restaurants and customers so business may grow.“

“I stopped in for lunch and got the fish and chips. Excellent fish, decent fries.
It was tasty enough that I came back for dinner to try the chili. Glad I did! Great chili! (Though I wasn't a fan of the half-a-hoagie on the side). Got a draft beer that went with it, and got out under $20. Can't complain!
Alexis was awesome, kept me topped up and good cheer never failed.
They have a game room, a patio in good weather, and a better than decent selection of food and drink both.
And the iced tea was nice and strong.“

“Just got home from an AMAZING dinner celebrating my father in laws 70th birthday and the 50th wedding anniversary for he and his wife. The service was impeccable and our server, Taylor was fantastic, friendly, understanding and accommodating the entire time! She couldn’t have been better! Made the entire experience a happy & memorable one! The person that helped out, Tyler was also great! Between the service and the delicious meal this is a family dinner we will never forget! 🤍 THANK YOU!“

“Amazing“

“Finally got to visit my friend’s restaurant! We were NOT disappointed!! Excellent food, attentive staff in a quiet warm atmosphere. The menu made it so hard to decide but the Crab Cakes were the best I’ve ever eaten. The food at the whole table was amazing. Looking forward to dining again when we’re back in town!“

“Fuí por primera vez y ordené un farm omelette… Estaba todo muy bien elaborado y fresco, fué rápido y buen precio; Las chicas muy amables! Recomendable!“

“Great food and great service! Emily was our waitress she was excellent!!!“

“All of their sandwiches (hand-held) are good. I had the short rib grilled cheese, and my husband had the pulled pork chipotle. Both were delicious 😋 Their homemade chips are quite tasty as well
We usually order the cheesesteak hoagie wrap but decided we needed to try something different.“

“Simply Delicious by Tina...should be called SUPER Delicious by Tina! Breakfast has always been my favorite meal of the day...and now I know where to go to totally enjoy the people, their friendliness, and the best breakfast. Thank YOU Chef Tina for your wonderful work and amazing menu :-)“

“Great food!! Great atmosphere!!“

“absolutely delicious and will continue to return for the Guinness oysters, sunchoke soup, and dragon's blood mocktail. Our second time leaving full and very happy.“

“We went there Saturday July 12, 2025 to celebrate my MIL 92nd birthday...we had a wonderful meal and the service from Sadie (and all the staff) was top-notch!! We had my almost 2 year old granddaughter with us and she loved it too!! I would highly recommend going!!“

“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!“

“We've never had a bad meal here, wonderful owners & staff.“

“Located inside of a historic Reading Railroad freight station, this bar has great root beer and fantastic burgers. I just wish they had karaoke nights or possibly a TouchTunes jukebox. But, on a different note, I love all of their railroad-themed decorations and Christmas decorations that they have all throughout the establishment. Shane Cadence and Ashlyn are wonderful.“

“Abby was our waitress and she was wonderful! Food was delicious, also, Gluten-free meal was delicious for my hubby.“

“The food was prepared perfectly. We had a few specifics that we wanted and it was prepared to perfection“

“Tried this place for the first time this past weekend. Loved it! Cozy atmosphere, the food was great and the staff so pleasant, especially Mike behind the breakfast bar where we were seated. Will definitely be back!“

“Great lunch! Our waitress was marvelous!“

“cute little place with great food! definitely going back again.“

“Samantha is amazing“

“I stopped in for breakfast last week while traveling through the area with a couple friends. Dee was absolutely lovely and the food was amazing! I also loved the music themed decor inside. Would definitely recommend you check it out.“

“Great local, long time bar/restaurant. Been going since I was a kid. Try it out! You will not be disappointed!“

“Went to Dublin with my daughter to get our driver licenses renewed and stumbled upon this little restaurant in the strip center. Nice little place with a very pleasant server.
I ordered a hot latte and my daughter ordered an Iced latte, both were amazing!!! MUCH BETTER THAN Sta**ucks!!! I ordered the Homemade sausage gravy and biscuits. They were extremely good and would definitely order again.
My daughter ordered the pancakes, very light and fluffy 10 out of 10 as far as pancakes go.
No doubt that I would definitely go back for breakfast again.“

“My wife and I stopped in with our dog on Sunday, and they were kind enough to allow us outside seating. Claire was our server and she was very attentive even adding ice cubes to the dogs water and bringing a pup cup for the dog for desert. Harvest Grill is very pet friendly and we will certainly stop back.“

“So I’ll be honest…I was skeptical to host a 70th birthday dinner party here because of the mixed reviews on the food. However, the location and ambiance was what I was looking for. After expressing my concerns to Dave, he encouraged me to trust him and his staff…I’m glad that I did! We had 19 people and were in the back room. The place was clean and inviting. The flat bread and salad were a great start to the night. We had preselected a menu which consisted of four main entrees to choose from: chicken parm, brisket, crab cakes and chicken risotto. I intentionally asked everyone how their dish was and every person said that they enjoyed their meal (trust me, my family would not just say that). The portions were plentiful. The kids had a few choices from the kids menu and enjoyed theirs as well. The staff were very attentive and pleasant….Dave is quite the jokester :) I would absolutely trust them with another event and look forward to going back for a dinner visit.“

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

“This place must have changed hands.
We left this place many years ago saying never again.
This last visit that we had was great. Great service and food. Plus I was able to take out my family and not have to break the bank doing it.
Good job Country Place. We will be seeing you again some day.“

“very good friendly staff“

“I've been coming here regularly, and every single time, I leave happy! The food is always amazing, and the staff goes above and beyond to make the experience even better. Consistently excellent service and delicious meals definitely one of my favorite spots!“

“We LOVE Penn Taproom. Nick, Alby, Gabby, Carley, Payton, Paige, Megan, Faith, Adam and the entire staff are very fast and friendly. Many beers in tap and countless cocktail options. The food is elevated bar food. Famous Smash burgers, the soft pretzels with cheese dip, Ahi Tuna, rice bowls, tacos, taco salads, weekly specials, this food choices are endless and very good quality. Come with your friends, catch a game, dance with the juke box or just sit in their large, open air garden or grab a table at this large open window bar.“

“Driven by the place a few times and stopped for dinner based upon a recommendation. It is located on Rt 413 at the intersection with Rt 202. Their menu has enough variety for nearly everyone and the portions were very large. The prices were reasonable and they also have both an early bird special plus a daily dinner special that is very good and inexpensive. The wait staff was really very friendly and helpful. Nothing fancy about the place, it has an old school feel to it. There are a lot of seats at the bar plus some booths and tables. We would definitely go here again.“

“To gain a great reputation in the food industry is quite difficult, but I will say that our review here couldn't be any better. Food, service, staff, friendliness, all wrapped up in the Eagle Diner. Zisi is a great host, fine service, great staff, terrific food. You simply couldn't ask for anything more in a diner. Five stars here!“

“Always a great meal! One place that the whole family can agree on.“

“the best and fun too“

“We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Dettera Wine Bar and couldn’t be more grateful to the entire team for making it one of the most special dinners we’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was handled with such care and kindness — the setup was perfect, the food was absolutely outstanding, and the service was seamless.

So many of our guests complimented the delicious menu and the beauty of the venue. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and exactly what we hoped for. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the staff made the evening feel effortless and celebratory.

Thank you for helping bring this day to life in such a meaningful way. We can’t wait to return. Dettera will always hold a special place in our hearts!“

“great service especially Caitlyn our waitress, food was amazing as well“

“The food is good and service as well. But sitting in the bar is too loud. Clearly caters to the golf members and no regard for people who come to dine and are not golfers. The main dining room looks like a banquet hall. All rounds tables and no ambiance at all. They are open to the public for dinning and they need to cater to those ppl too. Happy hour is from3-5? Ppl are at work during those hours and only golfers hanging out can take advantage of those crazy hours. Most restaurants and bars offer happy hour 5-7. Seems they don't want to extend happy hour to too many ppl to take advantage of it.“

“Stopped in for lunch while passing through on a road trip. The service was excellent. Very friendly. Great food! Cool vibe. Check it out.“

“Myself and three friends had come in to eat dinner and decided to sit at the bar. It was a very busy Saturday evening and yet we loved our meal [as always] but it seemed extra special this time because we had a terrific server named Allison who told us she was new there. You would never have guessed that by the way she handled herself. We were served our meal just as we requested and our drinks were always refilled without us having to ask. She made our experience better then we ever had before. We then came back the next week and we were told she was gone. She told us she loved working at your restaurant and to be honest she made our night the best time we ever had there. We are going to find out where she is now. Do you know? She is the type of bar server that we would follow. I can not imagine why she would leave a place that she was so happy at. We also heard a few other patrons mention her name and had specifically come into Tony's just because she worked there and leave because she was not there. Big loss to your establishment! Food and drink is important, but the server can make you want to eat at a restaurant or make you never want to come back. Dr. Kasser and Friends“

“The To Go experience is the best around. Our food was piping hot and made exactly on time for pick up.“

“We had our Neshaminy HS Class of 1975, 50th Reunion here at Maggio's on 10/4/25.\nSam Schubert, the owner, was a fantastic person to work with. Our contract was signed in October of 2024. The food was fantastic, the ballroom was gorgeous. We chose the Rose Wedding Package for 5 hours of delicious food, butlered hors d'oeuvres, an open bar, lavish sweet table and so much more. The waitstaff did an excellent job as well as the Bartenders. The centerpieces, by Domenic Graziano Flowers were unmatched, beautifully arranged and won by one of our guests at each table. We had terrific communications throughout the entire planning process, even to the end with payment, service and clean up. What a task with 200 guests and since it was my personal, third event here at Maggio's, I knew we'd be blessed beyond measure.“

“The brunch menu choices were excellent! Only critique would be the bagels could be by the lox and whitefish salad instead of the donuts which were on the other end of the floor. We would go back!“

“We were celebrating obtaining our marriage license and had a wonderful server by the name of Alex who really made the night memorable. Food was delicious. happy we celebrated there.“

“Everything was outstanding—the warm atmosphere, the friendly and attentive service, and the incredible food! Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Truly one of the best dining experiences! Highly recommend!“

“Food is excellent and great service“

“This was such a fun day out! The tea is bottomless, so if you want to try a few kinds, ask for one of their smaller teapots. Everything was dainty and delicious and they’re very kind about customizing if you have an allergy (let them know in advance!!). The atmosphere was lovely, and our server Rosemary was absolutely delightful. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Great bar. Great food. Great place to watch Liverpool FC games and cheer for Liverpool FC ❤️🤍⚽️🏆🥇👍👌👏💪“
