32 Best American Restaurants near Waterford

“The food was excellent and the french onion soup was the best. Maddie, who took care of us, made our experience here worth the trip. But, the story of the hotel/restaurant needs serious proofreading.“

“Had an amazing lunch yesterday. The patty melt with onion rings and the Waterford Melt were delicious.“

“With out of town guests we wanted to take them to a local restaurant. We called in advance and were told no reservations but there should be no problem accommodating a party of 5. We arrived just before 6, waited for the rest of our party and ordered shortly after 6. Dinner arrived in a reasonable amount of time. although not perfect very good. Finishing our meal we requested a couple to go boxes, one in our party ordered dessert. the waitress brought the boxes and the dessert was packed to go as well. this was not our intention and we asked for a spoon or fork to eat it. Within moments of the last bite of dessert about 7 pm another waitress came to our table and asked us to move to the bar as the table was needed. There was no seating at the bar, 4 of the 5 in our party are over 60. we would have had to stand around a very small table. Nothing was offered to encourage us to want to move to the other area or bother coming back. so we won't be back and we will make sure to let others know how we were treated.“

“Pizza and wings we ordered tonight were 10/10. Pizza was perfectly cooked with crispy crust and the perfect amount of toppings. The wings were nice and crispy (hot honey Cajun) awesome flavor. This place has really excelled since the Mike and Judy took the reins! Again 10/10“

“Love the Village tavern great owners and staff always switching up the menu! Safe fun place to hang out !“

“Keep up the hard work! Outstanding food and service, See ya's tonight!“

“We ate here and the food was amazing but what was even more amazing was our waitress, Camryn. She went above and beyond for our family and made us feel like family. We were all impressed and will recommend everyone to this lovely place and hope they get her as a server(I’m sure all the servers are great just never had one as caring and compassionate as her)“

“The food was excellent! Everyone was very friendly. Wonderful home town atmosphere. Loved the pictures of all famous Shirley’s. Adorable place.“

“Easy to find and easy to park, the facility looks new and is quite clean all around. I side the view and layout is nice and inviting with a nifty split level. That overlooks the gold course. The bar is well stocked and the staff well versed in drinks. I had one of their special cocktails and it was very well done.

Service was well timed and everyone was polite and professional. For dinner, we got specials including prime rib and ruby trout along with their signature Margarita pizza. Salads weren't covered in cheese like you often see (thankfully) and the entrees were well prepared and presented.

Everything tasted quite good, especially the desserts . The peach cobbler, turtle cheesecake and peanut butter pie were all home runs.

The value was on point for what you'd expect. While it's a bit of a drive for us, we'd definitely plan to go again.

Vegetarian options: Salads and entrees like the pizza are great veggie options.

Parking: There's quite a lot. It might get more full during busier days/times but there was no issue when we came for dinner.

Kid-friendliness: It's not anti kid but it's a more adult oriented theme. Young ones might be a bit bored with the clean decor but there are crayons and menus for them to be distracted for a bit. And it's open so they have lots to look at.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's all fairly flat with clearly marked areas for wheelchair access“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal. Great customer service fantastic food great pricing on it all they use Smith hotdogs. Everything is wonderful. There isn’t a single item on the menu that isn’t delicious me and my son’s favorite new place.“

“selection and servings. Don't recommend the broccoli.“

“delicious meal ! great service and atmosphere. fair pricing, and the $4 margaritas where fab!“

“Very Friendly and accommodating staff....one lovely lady handling the entire place and 3 in the kitchen grinding it out.... the brutal world we live in feels like going back 20+ years....breath of fresh air and wish them nothing but success.... keep thriving and inspiring...“

“Rooms are great. Amenities are ample. Pool, Jacuzzi, Workout Room. Full service bar & restaurant.“

“My husband and I come to Applebee's fairly regularly, and there is a reason for that. We've never been let down by the food we have ordered. The people who work there always give their best. Our food always comes in a timely manner, and the workers are attentive, but not too attentive.“

“Had just rolled into town, checked into our hotel, and headed out for a bite to eat. We were going to hit one of the local chain restaurants when we spotted Max and Erma's. It was late so we didn't want anything heavy. There were lots of great salad options available. My wife ordered the Santa Fe salad, and I ordered the Avocado Cobb. My salad was fresh and delicious, and the chicken was tender and well seasoned. The wife felt that her chicken was slightly overcooked. We both felt that the salad would have benefitted from a black bean and corn salsa if it's going to be called a Santa Fe salad. Simply adding tortilla strips and calling it a Santa Fe salad is a stretch. My wife enjoyed her blackberry sangria, but she and I have different tastes in wines. To me, it tasted like equal parts, wine, and sugar. Way too sweet for my taste.
Our waiter, Tom, spotted my Coast Guard retiree hat and offered to discount our bill. His attention to our dining experience was appreciated.“

“Total disaster today. Waited over 15 minutes just for a drink. Half of a club sandwich fit easily in the palm of my hand. Liked like someone say on the bread and made it the smallest size possible! Server was stretched to her limits. Was going to get breakfast buffet but it was empty and started that way for more than 20 minutes. Very disappointing.“

“On our tour of America we came to this steakhouse because of the good reviews, which were confirmed. At first there was a 25 minute wait. Then the 4 of us got a table after just 5 minutes. Great atmosphere, not too loud. The waitress was friendly, but she could have guided us, not quite "steak-savvy Germans", through the extensive menu. The food was very tasty, freshly prepared and the price-performance ratio was more than good.
Highly recommended! Thank you for the lovely evening here!“

“Best subs in town!!! The brownies are yummyyy“

“Ok first…SMOKEY!!!! But also worth it… Food was great! Hailey (bartender) was amazing. Fun people in the bar. I just didn’t expect SMokE in 2023…I have ptsd from 1984 when my parents rolled all the windows up with me in the backseat…lol!! I’m clearly not a smoker…just warning you all! But if you can get past that I’m this is a great place!“

“Excellent everything in the restaurant the food there is amazing the staff are wonderful“

“I ordered the Diamond steak 10oz takeout medium-rare and I have to say it is hands-down one of the best in the Erie PA area. It was as tender and flavorful as a filet and would highly recommend. I wished I had another for a reasonable $20 with mashed & a tossed salad.

Parking: Plenty of parking beside and at the rear of their lot.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly & welcoming staff“

“My friend and I shared the loaded fries. They were so good. Alivia took care of us and she chatted with us for a little while. She was a very good bartender and server at the bar area. Great food and beers. Love the laid back atmosphere when no big games are on. Would also be fun during play offs too.“

“No other ham is as good as Honey Baked Ham. It’s a little pricey but you get what you pay for. I have never had anything I bought there that is bad. And, you get bonus points. I just used my points which amounted to $27 off my total purchase. I also love the broccoli salad & the sliders. There is always something else that I have yet to try. Turkey is my next purchase. The service is great. The building is clean & everything I’ve had so far is amazing.“

“We go almost every Saturday to be seated with Nancy. She’s been there for 30+ years and she’s very attentive.“

“Couldn’t get into the restaurant we wanted on a Friday night so we opted for this place. I’ve been to one before and had a decent experience. This one was probably better.

Was initially concerned as it was packed and the line was long to get in but it moved fast. Not even 3 minutes to wait I don’t think. Service was good and quick. Price is insanely good. They had a loooot of options and kept them constantly filled. Was pleasantly surprised about the pulled pork, that’s what I wanted to eat before we ended up coming here as a backup plan.

Solid all around, very clean and fast service.“

“This iHop is in Erie, PA. First thing I noticed and greatly appreciated was that the manager was on the floor side by side with the other employees working and making sure things were running smoothly, and I don't know why or if this is a regular occurrence but I noticed and he was doing a great job and he interacted with them very well!! I thought the wait was going to be long and I believe they told us 15 minutes but it didn't take that long maybe 5. Service was good and the food was yummy ? and we are huge breakfast food fans, we have breakfast for dinner at least once a week!“

“Our service was amazing and the food was perfect“

“Was a great lunch while school shopping today“

“Like the wings. Their good here and beers good to“

“Never been here before. The steak was phenomenal! It was char-grilled to perfection. The french fries were amazing to pair the steak with. My server Jeff was friendly and attentive. I also had my first home made cream soda! I will definitely be back.“

“Great food and atmosphere, all day happy hour!!“
