50 Best American Restaurants near Zelienople

“The rib on the wrap was so freaking good!!! They didn't advise it, but I was happy I stuck with it. I'm not a fan of big sandwiches, so the wrap was just fitting. The fries I will never order again. They didn't taste like fries. They were overcooked and hard. There was no potato in the middle and I hate when fries are made like that. My waiter was a doll. The bar is very nice. None of this review is reflective of anyone in there specifically. Simply the food.“

“Great food and service!! I will definitely go back“

“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.“

“Scrumptious pizza, we tried the Yam I Am and the Galoshi Raptor’s Favorite and were delighted. The Sick Beets Bro made such an impression we are trying to duplicate the recipe at home. Great pub atmosphere, not expensive, tasty food and terrific beer. And the staff is super friendly and helpful. We love this place, well worth the drive from Pittsburgh.“

“Had an amazing lunch with great service from Deb.“

“Today between 4pm and 5pm, this was the first time that my friend and I ever ate there and I had broiled haddock fish and broccoli, and she had pasta with marinara, melted mozzarella cheese, sausage, and chicken. Everything was delicious, and the staff was so attentive and kind to us.“

“We ordered the blooming onion with the homemade sauce. Amazing! The cabbage and noodles was outstanding. We also ordered the fried chicken pierogi bowl with a homemade gravy, corn, and chicken scrumptious! We will be back.“

“Great food and excellent service“

“Fun Meeting with nice ladies and friends and having a good time!“

“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!“

“Again I wasn't here at this restaurant but I know a friend of mine was. He said his entree was a lil fatty and the dessert she took home was sour and spoiled. Smelled horrible when pulled off lid. Not sure what he ordered but I'll ask them so I can tell my friends not to buy same dessert.“

“I've been there about 6 times and always for dinner. Excellent burgers, chicken sandwich. Today I got their chili. Some of the best chili I ever had.“

“Cracker Barrel has a fun store to look around in. The products are fresh and unique. The food is home style and delicious. Dinner there is treat from start to finish!“

“Absolutely lovely venue! Perfect for weddings with a whimsical, enchanted garden vibe! This is NOT your ordinary barn! You have to see it to truly experience the love and care and attention to every detail the owners gave it. Immaculately clean, well organized, perfect for indoor/outdoor ceremony and reception of up to about 200. I’m in the wedding industry, and this venue is by far one of my favorites. The only ‘barn’ I know that has air conditioning- keeping your guests comfortable during your wedding! 💒 truly worth the tour if you are planning your wedding! You’ll be surprised how affordable Glen Eden Barn is too!“

“My wife and I eat here regularly and we'd strongly recommend it to everyone. It's a fantastic restaurant with a comprehensive menu to satisfy anyone's desires. The staff is very attentive and the food is fantastic. For those who experience difficulties in making individual reservations I'd STRONGLY encourage you to make your reservations for an ENTIRE YEAR, so as to ensure your ongoing reservations without having to call.“

“Great diner with great home cooked food“

“We don’t go here often enough but when we do it never disappoints. Food is always good and it’s just a great vibe.

Their schnitzel is probably the best I’ve had outside of Germany. They make a good amount of their food in house and you can tell.

Great selection of good local beer and handmade drinks.“

“My server June is the best! She always gets my order done right. I am a vegan and have gluten intolerance so I have very specific needs. The Beyond burger is always tasty and I enjoy the fresh brewed iced tea as well. June always makes my dining experience memorable in a good way.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“The chicken was delicious, as was the gold bbq! Super friendly and fast service! Hope to see you back @ LP!!“

“Food was good. Nice variety of choices on menu. Drinks, so e were great & so.e were not good. Place was clean and nice spacing between tables. Service was very slow and mediocre at best. Would give it another try do to atmosphere and menu variety.“

“We went to Firebirds for lunch to use the $10 coupon that was emailed and the $7 Martini Monday special which was included in the same email. We are long time customers of Firebirds but the last several visits have been disappointing. The $7 martini special was not honored. The sirloin steak that I had was good, but contained at least 3 areas of gristle that were impossible to chew. The loaded baked potato was excellent but toppings on it were scarce compared to those I have had in the past. The manager that we spoke to was unhelpful about the Martini Monday special included in the email. Just be aware if you are an Inner Circle member and have expectations when using promotional emails for dining that you may not get what you are promised. We sat outside on a beautiful early September afternoon so it was a nice dining experience.“

“This great restaurant has been closed almost a month. There is a sign in the window to that effect, but are they closed temporarily? For good? There seems to be some construction around it, but what is going on? They need to put something out on this....“

“Their Easter brunch was different than other years, but it was excellent. They had a huge variety of options. Food and service were great as always. They had everything very well organized. It was nice to have a holiday where someone else takes care of everything.“

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere is upscale but relaxed. We will definitely visit again......“

“We celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary at this great restaurant. The service was great! The servers were great. We want to thank Shawn Fitzpatrick and all. We had a wonderful evening.“

“Had lunch there today with a friend, and we both were very pleased for our first visit. The service was excellent - server was friendly, helpful, and efficient. The food was amazing! Produce was fresh for the salad and the meat was savory and seasoned to perfection. Will definitely return.“

“Everything wonderful in all respects“

“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!“

“LOVED our meal!!!! It was absolutely amazing and delicious!! The service and servings were great 👍!! Everything was perfect!! Shelby is a phenomenal server! She really takes care of you! We were very impressed 👏! Keep up the great work!“

“Recommend it but expect $$. Always ate here when we traveled to the area. Has been a few years. Service is good and place is clean. Was shocked at prices though. My husband loves spaghetti but would never pay $20. Sandwiches pricey. Much more than on website menu. Would probably get pizza somewhere if we go again. We were so looking forward to eating here again, and were starving.“

“Good food and good service! Understaffed like everyone else, so if I go again I will check on call ahead seating! Must say prices have gone up considerably too“

“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.“

“Very good diner, excellent breakfast selection. Been there multiple times but only for breakfast so can't talk about the rest of the menu. Got the banana walnut French toast and it was amazing. Very tasty and nice portion. The meal came with eggs, bacon, and their cottage fries (cubed potatoes) which are super good.“

“Great bartender Cait. Friendly patrons! Sat at the bar and was conversing with other patrons within minutes like I’d known them for years.“

“I've been coming here since I was 4 , thats 70 years ! Never dissappointed. In the 50's + peanut shells ankle deep very small bar area but the FISH was it. Now a place to enjoy with the whole family clean,friendly, great food, fast friendly service with smiles! Fair prices, and the BEST FISH around. Ez to find and you'll luv it.“

“ate there tonight for the first time,had friday fish special. It was absolutely delicious!,Large portions, even though I ordered small. service and price was great,we will be back for sure!😇🥰“

“it's an awesome gathering place for friends and veterans 😎“

“I will definitely be back and tell everyone about your Amazing Burgers 🍔 🤤😍“

“Three cheers for this restaurant. My son and I went there for dinner, and let me tell you, it is a very nice place. We were seated by the hostess and handed the menus. I saw a catch of the day plate for $16. I pointed to it on the menu and asked our waitress if it was good. She said a lot of people were ordering it but she didn't taste it. My son and I both ordered it. It was very good. The bill came and it was $75. I showed it to the waitress and she said that the hostess must have given me the lunch menu by mistake. She left and came back with the corrected bill. Now, I'm sure this happens once in awhile. I have had other times that the bill was wrong. But they didn't give me a hard time to correct the bill. Actually on the amount of difference (dinner price was $28.95), I thought they would make a stink about it. But they were very cordial and we left with a very good feeling for this place. So, please go to this restaurant because they know how to make you happy when you come through thier front door.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great service & great food! The outside space is awesome!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Fresh New Start with Flavor to Match! I recently had the pleasure of visiting Jimmy’s both before and after it came under new ownership, and I can confidently say—it’s a whole new experience in the best way possible! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive changes. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is genuinely friendly and attentive. The food is absolutely delicious, clearly made with high-quality, fresh ingredients and plenty of care. One of the best surprises has been the amazing new daily specials the owners have introduced. Each day offers something unique and creative, showcasing seasonal flavors and inventive dishes that keep me excited to come back and try what’s next. It’s clear the new owners are passionate about great food and great service. Jimmy’s has quickly become my favorite go to breakfast spot, and I’m looking forward to seeing how they continue to shine!“

“*Edit*I gave this place a 2nd chance, and glad I did. My wife got chicken planks and fries, while I got the fried pierogies. A complete 180 from our last visit! Very happy with our food, and the bartender has been great! Will be coming back Took forever to get service, and when we finally ordered food, it took over an hour to get it. Once it finally came out, it couldn't even be eaten. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1, was the bartender apologized and took the food off of our tab.“

“great ice cream and good service.“

“I think the server Tabatha is the best. She acknowledges you from the minute you walk in the door and is very attentive to all of your needs which makes your visit to their restaurant enjoyable. She makes you feel like you will be returning again and again and requesting her for your server every time.. The food is great and with her as your server, you will not want to eat anywhere else!“

“great food, great service. highly recommended!“

“Good food. Friendly staff.“

“Usually always go at lunch time when it isn't really busy. The food is always great, as is the service. It's best to go when they're doing specials because otherwise it can get expensive.

Sometimes the music is a little loud and can make it hard to have a conversation. I understand at dinner time when it's busy but maybe turn it down a little at lunch.“
