50 Best American Restaurants near Arcadia

“A must, must visit if you are in the area. Just a slight detour off the interstate and well worth it to visit a historic hot dog diner. This establishment has been serving the locals since 1953 when the mills flourished and folks needed a quick hot and affordable meal.
I went for the 2 dog plate with all the toppings (mustard, onions, and chilli) then I added coleslaw just cuz that is how I like them. The crinkle cut fries are crispy and hot... Everything was so good! I got them to go.ao I could sit outside on the picnic tables with my puppy. I do feel I missed out on sitting inside with the locals and the friendly staff who are so down to earth I felt like family stopping in.“

“Awesome food and atmosphere, just GO!! Mike was an awesome server!“

“We love River Falls Cafe! From the friendly, welcoming people to the delicious food, everything is always amazing. You can really feel the care they put into every detail. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. We especially love supporting a local business that supports other local businesses — it truly makes a difference in our community. River Falls Cafe is a gem, and we’re so grateful to have it right here in town!“

“I absolutely Loved 🥰 Cribbs kitchen! Great atmosphere and absolutely love ❤️ there food and drinks!“

“The best fried chicken I have eaten in a long time.“

“My family and I love John’s! His breakfasts are amazing. Of course, my favorite is the huge waffle with bacon. For lunch, I love the cafe combo served with his spicy pimento cheese and chicken salad. In addition to great food, there is a friendly atmosphere, making it a great place to eat.“

“the waitress Tina needs another job cause being a waitress isn't the job for her she DROPPED 2 boxes on floor behind me she could have sat them down instead she rushed us to order never came back and asked us if we needed coffee had to get up 2 times to get more when she cleared a table of it's dishes she dropped them down on other dishes so that was very loud also she was right at my table and didn't even look my way then when we was waiting to pay in line instead of saying excuse me sir she once again was rude saying "you need to move" so I could complain about the food also but I'll jus complain about "Tina" the waitress. bad service can ruin the whole experience of eating here never going to waste my money or time again the rest of staff was great though..put Tina to doing dishes in the back so others don't have to experience her being disrespectful“

“Always fantastic, never disappoints!“

“Great atmosphere! Great service! Great food!“

“I took myself in a Solo Date for my Birthday! Thanks to Erin, my server, who made my evening perfect. The food and atmosphere are perfect. Thank you!“

“First time here and it was amazing. Got there early to eat at the bar and was impressed with the Samsung phone chargers at each stool. Then the food and drinks were phenomenal! So cool to be able to watch the food being prepared from my seat! 10/10 for food and experience! kudos!!!“

“It was very delicious and the service was good even though it was pouring rain. This was our first visit here and me and the husband enjoyed everything. The reason for a star off was i paid almost $2 to add bacon to my burger and it wasn't in there.“

“I absolutely Loved 🥰 Cribbs kitchen! Great atmosphere and absolutely love ❤️ there food and drinks!“

“I love dray bar! Peaceful space with light music, great food and drinks! I like to go here and study if in person class was canceled. I love their Au poivre fries and the jack Daniel’s blackberry mule“

“Love it, best shaved ice around“

“The restaurant was short staffed on the day we went. My best friend had her birthday party there, which was scheduled weeks ahead of time, and they were not staffed for the event. The manager on duty was also the cook and the food kept coming out incorrect. I'm so happy that I only ordered wings because the party was basically over before my food came and was actually over before a few of the other guests received their food. I have heard a lot of good things about this place and I loved the bartender and some of the regulars. I will try them again in the future, but I will definitely call ahead of time to make sure that they at least have servers plus all other essential staff on duty to help make it a more pleasant dining experience.“

“My son and I just had a hotdog and fries at The Salad King. First rate food and service. Grilled Dogs! I highly recommend!“

“Such good food at such good prices! My son got the nutella waffle the last time we went and he said it was too much nutella, but i personally loved it myself! I usually get their club sandwich and its always amazing and their fries are so good! Good fried fish too!“

“Been a few times food is always fantastic. The atmosphere is superb and after eating, you get to see different stuff in the store .“

“One of Spartanburg's best! Been coming here for years. In fact, where did my wife (who is originally from Greenwood SC) want to go to dinner on our anniversary? Gotta marry a woman who'll choose The Beacon over a snooty five-star restaurant any day! Recommendations: everything but my go-tos or either the double chili-cheese with bacon or slice heavy on the red with a tea of course!“

“Had the week off and stopped by for some happy hour and some food. One of the owners daughter in law was helping out so regular staff could have some time off. Audrey I think her name was. She was awesome and very helpful. There was no one in the place besides a few club members. Food was very good, nice portions. We had a couple of drinks, in the end the price was good for what we got. We'll be back when we have another day off.“

“Charlie cooked while Meagan assisted me with the menu. It's extensive. Everything is short order cooked. I went there just to see what the place was like, there were already a lot of good reviews. Don't let the outside fool you, the place is clean and the food is delicious. I wasn't that hungry but I wolfed down my delicious flounder sandwich so fast I forgot to take a picture. The fries are crinkly fries. The coleslaw is standard. They have seafood, burgers, a gyro, and on and on. Dinners come with a small salad.

I shall return.“

“The food is just like our Mother’s !! I always keep some extras in the freezer. Not only do I love the food I love all the girls that cook the food. It is delicious!!! The girls are great!!“

“Best Lobby and staff in town. David and Walter are the best. Marriott is so lucky to have them!“

“The old Country Pride. The new abbreviated menu is the same. The steaks are very good. The service is top tier. I pulled a 34 here. Coin operated laundry is $3 wash/ dry. I pulled some time in the shop ( fuel filter change, tractor lube, and some shine). I had a few meals, all were good. Coffee is hot, good , and plentiful. Went across the road and got a wash at the streaking beacon! It was a very productive reset. What did surprise me was all the litter in the lot. I didn't see anyone empty any of the waste bins but other than that it was a good break“

“I’m a regular at cocobowls in Simpsonville… the Fruitful acaibowl is the best…. Customer service is awesome!!!!!!“

“great food and service, and very clean“

“First time eating here tonight. The bread is amazing, great salad! The steak was really good. Started with fried green tomatoes and they had absolutely no flavor. I couldn’t even eat them, so I was a little disappointed there. The server Luke was awesome as well.“

“Great Food and service!!!“

“Three of us are here on February 20,2026. Restaurant was clean inside and out. Employees were very friendly and especially Erica. We ordered three burgers,onion rings and cheese curds. Onion rings and cheese curds were very good . Hamburgers were very dry,bun’s bottom half was cold and the burger really had no flavor to it. . Not sure we will return.“

“The atmosphere is clean, food is fair nothing fancy. I had the hamburger steak as well as the potato salad and coleslaw. It was all really good. My mom had a chili cheeseburger that was just okay because the chili on top just looked like browned hamburger with not much flavor. All-in-one wasn't bad and the prices were pretty good. I'd probably go back.“

“We have been to FR8T Yard many times, but last night’s band Randomonium was AWESOME! Please invite them back! The beers and ciders were cold and flowing, and the Yard Hooch is a must-try!! Love the pretzels too! For those of you who haven’t been, what have you been waiting for?! Great place to meet up with friends anytime!!“

“Gerhards is the ultimate! Food and service is Phenomenal! Read a few negative comments. That was after reopening during pandemic. Of course, not enough staff. If you were not happy, please try again. Totally worth it!“

“Great place for simple food“

“Stopped by yet again and Charlie, our server was fantastic. Actually, everyone was. The menu had plenty of options, the food was made quickly, and it was all delicious! We’ll be coming back!“

“8.5... Food was super fresh... Great service“

“food was amazing. very flavorful . My new lunch spot.“

“Absolutely loved the food i ordered, it took me a while to eat it. It was well worth the price. Great hostess & a very neat & clean restaurant.“

“Pam is amazing and was so kind to us!!! as well as the ENTIRE staff here, you just feel right at home. We are now going to be regulars! 🥰🍻“

“Great food & better people!!“

“The bisket is full of fat, if you like fat you are in the right place. I have never been served slices of fat. I had more fat then bisket. Will not return. Brisket sandwich was 10.00 and the majority was fat. They knew I had never had bisket before, so the served me fat.“

“Love the hash!! It’s the closest to my Grandpa’s hash that I’ve ever eaten.“

“I fully believe this to be the best Waffle House I have ever been to. The staff were very welcoming and continued to clean as they went. The staff didn’t leave each server to their own table but instead helped each other and checked in with other tables if they thought they may need something. However, what I enjoyed the most was the atmosphere. Regulars that have been coming here for 10 years were joking with staff and vice versa. It felt welcoming and at home. If I lived closer, this would be a regular weekend treat.“

“COURTNEY!!!! Absolutely awesome server, friendly and helpful. She made our stop in for dinner extra nice. 🩷“

“excelente , la atención, el tiempo de tus alimentos todo está bien“

“I would like to say that I had an issue with a bartender one evening BUT Travis Donavan , manager, called me the very next day and gave me his full attention. This bar is one of Spartanburg’s most lovely settings in town and the food in restaurant is excellent. The staff has always been professional and friendly. Sometimes folks just have bad days…“

“My wife and I stopped in for breakfast this morning. We were greeted at the door by the smiling face of Nickkia, who also became our waitress. Nickkia helped guide us through the menu and told us about the specials. We both decided on one of the 6.00 breakfast specials . The food came to the table quickly and was hot and delicious. Nickkia kept checking on us and did a great job taking care of us. The restaurant was super clean, service was outstanding, great prices and great food. Bravo IHOP, job well done! We look forward to our next visit to this location. AAAA++++“

“After a long and stressful drive with no food in stomach, me and my friend stopped in to eat before we headed home. The three people working night of August 20th were so nice and friendly even though we unintentionally ended up being a bit difficult about how our eggs were cooked. Will definitely be returning in the future, thanks y'all :)“

“great place for large parties.. very attentive staff and a vast variety of dishes to choose from.“

“Just had our company outting. The guys are till talking about how nice the course was. Great experience and hopefully we will be back sooner than later. With golf prices going up everywhere woodfin ridge price matches the course. If you haven’t played it your missing out“
