50 Best American Restaurants near Palm

“At first glance, the Palm looks like what could best be described as your typical country dive bar - which it sort of is, but with some pleasant enhancements. The decor in the bar area is unique, there is a quote regarding the love of music overhead as you walk through to the traditional seating. I can't explain the allure of the place exactly, only that it's got that "slowed down" vibe that seems to be lost in a world of 2025 chain bars/gastropubs. Admittedly, I have always been a sucker for places like this - but the Palm did not disappoint. We were a party of 5, my wife, myself, our three kids (12, 7, 3) and while we were the only family with young kids in there at the time (and my 3-year-old was absolutely post-nap second energy wind) nobody seemed to mind. They have a chalkboard with daily soup specials that looked like someone took the time to make fancy. The food was typical of a bar, I wouldn't say it was out of this world (I had the diablo burger) but it was above-average for a bar setting. My daughter had the kids burger which was sort of lack-lustre, my wife had a roast beef sandwich (complete with sides of horseradish and Au Jus) which was not only massive, but "really really good" and let me tell you she's the food critic between us. I liked that the floors are sort of worn, it aided in the atmosphere feeling like your local family pub. Service was great, and that's considering that the bartender was alone, with 6-8 people at the bar, and probably another 12-15 people seated at the table. She was a rock star and absolutely the reason we will be back. I liked this place, a lot - give it a try!“

“Never been there just driving by Tuesday afternoon 03/22/22 stopped in w my fiancé daughter had a fantastic lunch! Our waiter excellent! Thank you so much! Great place excellent“

“Great local diner. Breakfast is stellar and the service is excellent.“

“Recently had Stegs cater a party and the whole experience was great. The communication was wonderful; the food was excellent! Food was ready for when we requested pick up and there were no issues at all.“

“Chino’s Place is a great place with wonderful food but let’s talk about the decor! Check out the pigs in the back room or the cutest cow picture above the lady’s potty to name a few of my favorites. Stop in for a great meal and atmosphere.“

“Thanks for helping us to make our 55th Class Reunion a success. The dinners were delicious and the management and serving staff were very helpful and accommodating . Greatly appreciated.“

“this is a great place. Awesome food very friendly staff. The staff makes you feel like at home great bartenders mark is the best, overall a great experience. Plus, they also have an outdoor garden, which is awesome in the spring and summer months to sit outside.“

“My wife and I had breakfast last week and lunch today. The food was great and good portions. It's very clean. The waitress was pleasant, and service goes without saying "PERFECT". We will definitely be back.“

“We had such a great experience at Our Place this weekend! They welcomed our baseball team and families (50+ people) and couldn’t have been more accommodating. The owner, servers, and customers were super friendly and the food was delicious. Thank you Our Town!“

“It’s nice to be able to still live in an area that has a location! It’s clear that management works their tails off to ensure the restaurant is still in operation with excellent food safety and customer service practices. Despite this, I hadn’t been in a while but since I was at the Velodrome, I decided to stop and get a Sundae. I felt like a kid all over again. The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Sundae is every bit as good as I remembered. The peanut butter sauce is fantastic. I wish they sold in jars but if they did there would be no reason to go to Friendly’s so I get why they don’t. It was also great to get it for free for being a rewards member.“

“We had The Bally Hotel cater my daughter’s birthday party on Saturday and the food was excellent and plentiful! The owner was super easy to work with and accommodating with what we wanted for the menu. They provided us with the chafing dishes which kept our food warm until we ate which was almost an hour and a half after we picked it up. The food was also perfectly packed so there were no issues with any spilling during transport. Would highly recommend having The Bally Hotel cater your next event. You won’t be disappointed!“

“a must stop on the bike with bungeezs“

“Don’t think twice! Food is amazing and the bartenders are even better“

“UPDATE: Went back Thursday, May 10th and tried the meatballs. They were good, but the wings and Prime Rib Sliders are still the favorites for me. Went out to eat Sunday evening, at Capo and Co, in Emmaus. I can't say enough about the food and service. My favorites are the wings. I will never go anywhere else for wings again! I got plain to dip in their horseradish sauce, and my boyfriend got sweet chili. They were amazing! The prime rib sliders melt like butter in your mouth. The toppers in the Bloody Mary included a fat slice of provolone, sweet Gherkins pickle, bacon, olives and more. The atmosphere was cozy and yet so roomy. The place was immaculately clean and the presentation of the food was first class. A must try for everyone!“

“All very good except price! Pricing referenced in OnLine menu much lower than actual pricing. Remove them and update with current pricing which is 50 % more. $35 for salad, protein , ice tea ( non alcoholic) is ridiculous).“

“I have been staying at the Hyatt since it opened several years ago and dining at the Westside Grill on every stay. I frequent this hotel and am more than just a guest, bordering on being a resident due to my frequent travel into the Lehigh Valley. As a Globalist with Hyatt I cannot say enough good about the hotel and the Westside Grill. After having dinner there again this evening and having another outstanding experience I feel compelled to write this review. The dining room management of the Westside Grill is exceptional with Eileen, the Manager, doing an exceptional job. She is a walk around manager very visible in the dining room, greeting customers, and ensuring they are having a great dining experience. This evening I had the pleasure of having Deanna as my server and she did an outstanding job as well. Both Eileen and Deanna are very attentive insuring that the customer is well taken care of and not wanting for anything. I cannot say enough GOOD about this restaurant. It is top shelf, great abidance, exceptionally clean, supported by a full service bar and an exceptional menu and wine list. The Westside Grill has been consistent in service, quality, and presentation of food since I began dining there while staying at the hotel. I strongly recommend the Westside Grill for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an exceptional dining experience. I bring often business associates with me for morning, afternoon, and evening business discussions at the Westside Grill and have never been disappointed. Both the Westside Grill and Hyatt Hotel have a great staff that are always wanting to make your dining experience and stay exceptional and memorable. It makes you want to come back!!! Finally, 5 Stars is not enough, it should be more like 10. Both the service and the meals at the Westside Grill are consistent always providing an exceptional dining experience.“

Going back soon!“

“It was our first time trying the Sumneytown Hotel. Hands down amazing! The ambience was relaxing, and the building is beautiful. The food and service were phenomenal! The flavors of the food just went together so well and the presentation was beautiful! Also, the clams were cleaned thoroughly, not grainy at all! Great wine options too. Our server, Jamie, was very nice and extremely attentive. Her service was top notch. She gave very good recommendations on the food and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend coming here for flavorful food, a relaxing night, incredible service and good drinks! We will be back! We had: Burrata Salad (Special) Cilantro and Jalapeño Clams (Special) Goat Cheese Bites Sweet Potato Gnocchi Hot Chicken Sandwich“

“Butcher and Bar keep is a very good place with outstanding food......The Kitchen staff Takes pride in the meals they serve......For sure 5 stars.....“

“Wally's Deli is a haven for meat lovers, boasting girthy portions that will satisfy even the heartiest appetite. The star of the show is undoubtedly Wally's Hog, a mouthwatering creation that's as delicious as it is substantial. Despite our curiosity, Mrs. Wally remained tight-lipped about the original hog size, adding an air of mystery to his already legendary meat. From the first bite to the last, Wally's Deli delivers a meaty experience that's sure to leave you craving more. The best wrong turn we ever made.“

“This is easily the best option for food at the mountain. There's a kids menu that is reasonably priced with options like grilled cheese, cheeseburger, ham and cheese. Fountain machine for sodas as well as a cooler with bottled drinks.

For breakfast, the buffet is a good value as it includes coffee and kids 10 and under are free.

The manager Jordan is ever present and super helpful, ensuring the service is excellent. He kindly helped us when my kid dropped his hot chocolate. Even got the kid a new hot chocolate, which was not necessary but very much appreciated. All of the staff here are very friendly and ensure a good family experience for meals.“
