50 Best American Restaurants near Lake Wylie

“Our server Lauren was excellent and the food great. My only concern was the employee sticking his hand in the gummy worm jar at the milk shake station. He did this twice, no gloves, yuck. This is how foodborne illnesses start.“

“We saw the sign on the way to Orlando and decided on our way back home we’d stop for lunch. We had no idea this place existed. Nice atmosphere, loved the memorabilia. Potato golf balls were delicious but our entrees were a little disappointing. Service was decent.“

“Best Sports bar around!! Family friendly and fun! TVs everywhere you look for all the games and of course AMAZING food and service!!! Plus dogs are allowed on the patio dinning area♡“

“First visit to Christopher's Grill and Bar...and definitely not our last! We were able to enjoy their patio seating on this beautiful, sunny day. Had a smashburger with tator tots and kid's chicken nuggets and fries. Food was amazing!! Fresh, hot and delicious! Cannot wait to visit again! Thank you!“

“🍴We finally made it to FM Eatery, and let’s just say—they know how to do comfort food with a creative twist! ✨ 🍔 Flip Daddy Burger – A double-stacked local wagyu beef burger loaded with crispy bacon, house pickles, sweet onions, lusty aioli, and melty American cheese. Every bite was packed with bold flavor and the perfect balance of richness and tang. The wagyu patty was tender, the toppings brought great texture, and the sauce tied everything together beautifully. 🧇Fried Chicken & Waffle – A Southern classic, elevated. The hot honey gave it the perfect sweet heat, while the maple butter added a rich, indulgent touch. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the waffle had a great fluffy texture—this is a dish that hits all the right notes. 🍟 Fries – Lightly crisped and well-seasoned, the ideal pairing for both meals. From the warm atmosphere to the attentive service, everything about our first visit was a hit. Whether you're craving a high-quality burger or Southern-inspired comfort food, FM Eatery delivers. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing! Best chicken and waffles ever!“

“Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Food is very good. Good beer selection but could be colder.“

“We popped in at lunch today and it was fabulous! Who would think a chicken sandwhich with cheese, scrambled eggs and BACON would be the best thing I’ve had in a while. And their Sweet Potato fries were out of this world. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. I live in Rock Hill and I can’t wait to go back.“

“My daughter had her first prom this past weekend. I live out of state but I wanted to make sure her night was special. I spoke with Lynn Allen (general manager) she walked me thru buying a gift card and I was able to surprise my daughter and her date with dinner covered. Lynn (and the hostess I spoke with) were so friendly and helpful! My daughter said her dinner was amazing and can’t wait to visit again! So refreshing to have such friendly and professional staff to communicate with!“

“Try their Cuban sandwich. It is fantastic. Their wine selection is also, of course, exceptional too.“

“The service was excellent... Kaylyn was great! The burgers were good but the fries were burnt. We sent them back and they were burnt the second time! We were told it is normal for them to be cooked that way! We ended up getting the fried chips which were very good! We asked to be seated outside, thinking it would not be as noisy but it was more noisy outside.“

“Very good food changed my life“

“Always has great food for breakfast or lunch“

“I love going here. The food is good and the beer is always cold. I am giving the food 4 stars simply because they took away the load bake potatoes I loved. However, they did make up for it with their street corn. Some of their drinks did change. They used to have this really good creamy alcohol drink. but they stopped making them. The beer is great though.“

“I stopped by once and didn't know how to get back, I just knew the food would be good.
It was beyond what I hoped for. never tasted a steak so next to perfect, it made me shake the hand if the Chef. Host,Waiters, Mrs. Cleaning Lady...Best place in Gastonia all round. Had to give my first review for it. Thank You .“

“This restaurant and bar is located inside the Cambria hotel. Pricing is very good. We ordered nachos, shrimp tacos, wings and blackened Salmon x2 for our party. The ONLY issue was the salmon was a bit dry, flavor still very good. Wings were big and meaty, cook perfectly. My friend said the tacos were great as were the nachos. Service was excellent as well. If I lived in the area, this is a place I would come for dinner!“

“This place is the best lunch-dinner spot ever, the super cheeseburger is really good, not too big or not to dry and the fries are crispy and just enough seasoning. quarter white is also a great plate to try, the chicken is tender and juicy and goes great along with the coleslaw. This is a great southern food spot !!“

“So I'm a Sushi Chef and VERY critical of pre made Sushi. So I picked up a rainbow roll on our way to Detroit. The. best Premade Sushi I ever had. I thought it a fluke so on my return I purchased another. Equally as impressive. The checkout is a breeze. A tray pricey but when you think of where you are and the quality it's a no brainer.“

“Very Pleasantly surprised! My Chicken Marsala was great. Not traditional cutlet, but a terrific quality bone in breast with delicious sauce and mushrooms. The accompanying gnocchi was to die for and the asparagus was perfect! Fresh, green, plump and perfectly cooked. My husband loved the chicken quesadilla with all the vegetables and toppings being really fresh. And he got a side of brussel sprouts with it. Our server could not have been more pleasant. She let us know where things stood. It was pretty busy but the environment is quieter but comfortable so you can have nice conversation. Finished with Creme Brûlée and wow! Prices reasonable, great service and food. Well done to the Chef and staff!“

“Fun times with the ladies….. breakfast was fast and piping hot!! Good selection for southern food on a cold morning. Staff was friendly and very accommodating…“

“My sister and I had a lovely breakfast here while I was visiting. I visited a different location in North Carolina and was so pleased that everything was as delicious and just as I remembered. Food was prompt and our server was great. Unfortunately, his name escaped me at the moment, but to the tall gentlemen with a beard, you were great! 10/10 Looking forward to visiting again before I leave. :)“

“The food is amazing! Especially love their smokey ranch!“

“We tried this place out today and will definitely be back! It was great! I had “the plumbers brother” lol and pasta salad and my husband had the cowboy burger and potato wedges! We wanted something different because we always go to the same places. We were impressed!“

“I have never been to a location and felt so at home! Service was efficient and fast. All the garden bar was fresh and crisp. They made sure the presentation was clean and freshly replaced when low. One of the things that stood out the most is my interaction with a lady name Arrianna. She was such a welcoming woman. I’ve never seen such great customer service in my life above and beyond and it was a pleasure to come to this location. Thanks for a calm lunch experience!“

“Visited the Cary, NC location today and highly recommend!! Service was fast, menu had many choices and food was so so delicious!!! The owner checked in on us and thanked us for coming.

“Best Seafood restaurant ever!! Great quality of food, large portions, friendly service always and the prices are reasonable!! You will definitely get your 💰 worth“

“Love the quiet vibe and the food was very tasty. Has the turkey sandwich with fruits as a side, which I must say was a breath of fresh air from the typical sides offered in America consisting of various types of fries. A little cup of assorted fruits hits the spot.“

“We would like to thank the entire Pump House team for all their help from the first day we went to request information about holding our wedding at the restaurant. Thank you Zoe, Robbin and the waiters who attended to our guests with such professionalism that day, simple details that make the difference in what is good customer service. Even before the event began, the weather was not what we expected and Robbin was already calling me at 8:00 AM to give me the option of another of their rooms, something that gave me so much peace and helped calm my nerves from the rainy day. At 9:00 AM he was at the door waiting for MaxiEventos RD and Ivette Bautista de Gonzalez to help them and put at their disposal everything they needed for the decoration of the room and the cake. Your restaurant has left its mark with every detail of its staff and the beautiful views of the Catawba River on our special day. Mr. & Mrs. Francis we will be eternally grateful.“

“Nice atmosphere and food was amazing!“

“Love the entire Cracker Barrel cafe and love the shopping experience.“

Their menu has tons of options to choose from. From traditional country style options, to some of the classics, there is always something to choose on the menu.

As for the service, all of the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The food is always ready quick as well which makes this a great option for lunch during a work day.“
