15 Best American Restaurants in Bristol

“Thanks for preparing a fantastic New Years take out dinner. The shrimp Mozambique was outstanding. See you soon.“

“To the incompetent individuals @dewolftavern who stiffed us on the exorbitant take out Thanksgiving meal you provided missing half the turkey, gravy and the mashed potatoes we payed for and drove a half hour to pick up.... To the girl who insisted after my father asked if everything in our order was in the bag that it was, to your manager who was unhelpful and should be dealt with accordingly and whomever portioned out the meal should be reprimanded as well. Our oven is broken on Thanksgiving and your incompetence made it an even greater day. One of your incompetent workers should have delivered the rest of the meal personally #badrestaurant #badservice #shitcan #dontpatronize #furious @yelp“

“My first experience here. I have to say the service (Megan) was amazing! She knew everything on the menu and then some. Was an excellent Bartender . The portions were BIG and delicious. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed“

“Happy 2026. We usually get take-out from The Wave every week AND also dine-in every week. Everything from Pizza to Fish & Chips to Clam Chowder, Clam Cakes, Chili, Garlic Bread. All of the food here is consistently delicious. Lots of televisions and very clean restaurant. The staff and the cooks are always really nice! Thank you.“

“Food was great. However, we were virtually forgotten by our server. We waited ten minutes for her to ask if we would like a drink. When we got our appetizer from a runner she never came to check on us and my husband had to get up to find some to get an additional piece of silverware. We finished our meal and waited a half an hour to be visited. We asked for to go containers and watched her to serve two other tables before coming back ten minutes later with them. To give context we were sat at 6:15 and did not leave until 8. For two people who didn't get cocktails or dessert.“

“Friendly service and great breakfast. Awesome experience.“

“Definitely would recommend“

“I freaking LOVE Bristol Bagel Works. These bagels are super fresh, chewy, and literally the best bagels I've ever had (and I've been to NYC so I know bagels).

You notice the quality right away. Also one of the few places that does a banger salt bagel. 10/10!!

The shop is comfortable and easygoing, and the people are awesome. I can't recommend enough!!“

“cheap drinks, great staff!“

“A great local restaurant 💯“

“A basic pub with great food and service. My baked cod was delicious! I was very happy with the size and quality of the side salad. My wife had the grilled bratwurst sandwich from their Octoberfest menu. It came on a pretzel roll which she loved. Their dessert list is awesome. We look forward to returning.“

“Very good, bartender was simply amazing ( Jessica, I think) , very attentive, great suggestions , and kinda cute as well, lol. Will definitely be back!“

“amazing food with a family friendly atmosphere!!“

“Amazing food and incredible view my server was amazing and respectful. but I was a little uncomfortable with how the hostess completely ignored me and only talked to my husband for seating, but I was happy she was respectful at the end and finally acknowledged both of us.“

“Always a great experience at The Lobster Pot!“
