23 Best American Restaurants near Walhalla

“I am born and raised in Philly so I am critical of a "Philly cheesesteak". had a Steph's Steak today for the first time and it tasted like home! the nailed some of the little details like using American cheese and mixing it in with the meat instead of just on the bun. Definitely recommend and will return!“

“I love everything the chicken breast, turkey and dressing, and the flounder and the sides rice and gravy mac and cheese green beans fried squash and the sweet tea and I just love everyone who works there the best place to eat“

“Nice tavern with local beers/ciders on tap and they serve yummy food on the weekends.“

“Always a pleasure to stop by when I'm on a river trip. Haven't eaten anything from there yet, but I did a little breakfast cooking in the back yard when I stayed with a friend in one of the cabins in back. Went back another time in a camper. Nice place and nice accommodations. Music and fun in the mountains.“

“take out was great. Food is very good. we are fairly new here. 1st time we dined in. Nice to find somewhere that is worth going back to. I rate it a 5.“

“Great service and food . Coffee cup always full ! Omelette’s great , portions beat others similar pricing in area … know how to cook grits!“

“Always a nice meal here. Our server Hali was very attentive and helpful. We skipped apps, and our salads were fresh and tasty. My 7oz filet was cooked perfectly (blue, the way I like it, and few restaurants get it right). The risotto was creamy and the broccoli rabe was nicely seasoned and not over cooked. The Cab Franc paired perfectly with my entree. My partner got the swordfish that was also perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The chips and guacamole really didn’t add anything to the dish, however, but it was fine. The dry Riesling was a nice pairing with this. We were seated not too far from the bar area. We forgot about Jazz on the Ally Thursday nights so it was packed and the bar area started to become very loud. Unfortunately there are quite a few privileged people in this area that feel being publicly drunk and obnoxiously loud is acceptable, even in a nicer restaurant. This isn’t the restaurants’ fault but it certainly impacts the quality of the atmosphere. Even Hali offered us a free dessert to make up for the interruption it caused, but we paid for our desserts anyway. We did suggest that there be automatic sliding doors fitted so that the noise could be contained in the bar area leaving the diners to enjoy their meals. Our desserts were also delightful. We had the banana brûlée and strawberry brûlée. Overall it was a very nice meal with very good service (which is hard to come by in this area).“

“Excellent service and delish food. Friendly atmosphere.“

“We are lucky to have this place so close. Love places like this. Love the people and their humor and how they get to know you…daughter is addicted to their chili cheese dogs! Love everything! Such generous helpings and you can’t beat the prices. So glad we ever stopped. It’s a favorite for sure!“

“The grounds are beautiful; the facilities are top-notch; the people (residents and staff) have been incredibly friendly and welcoming. We are thrilled and very grateful to be settled in such a wonderful area!“

“Dude. My partner tonight recommended I try the special burger, and it was amazing. The Aloha Burger with grilled pineapple. Freaking phenomenal. Will be making the trip back from Easley with the kids ASAP!!“

“I have NEVER been disappointed with Lucky Strike of Westminster! I'm always served a perfect cheeseburger.....I always order " double the cheese" and, boy ! Yum! My favorite server always remembers without my asking, " cut that baby in half and plenty of napkins" Is your mouth watering yet?......mine is!! “

“I think that I have eaten at most of the Mexican restaurants in the area and I can say hands down, this place serves the best chicken fajitas and it is not even close. From the outside this place does not stand out enough and that concerns me. Food is just outstanding, but they need more visibiity“

“Great breakfast! Country ham,eggs grits and toast.“

“Food was excellent, Service was over the top.“

“First time eating there this past weekend and the food was good,service also. Very friendly staff. We will definitely go back.“

“Applebee's Grill + Bar has honestly had quite the transformation over the years. I remember when it had a pretty rough reputation locally — service was inconsistent, the food wasn’t great, and overall it just wasn’t a place people were excited about. It had that “we only go here if we have to” kind of feel.

But fast forward to now, and it’s a completely different experience. Over the last couple of years, I’ve been there multiple times, and most visits have been genuinely solid. The food has improved a lot — hot, fresh, and actually enjoyable — and the overall experience feels way more put together than it used to be.

Every now and then, sure, something might come out a little off or not quite right, but that’s become the exception rather than the rule. Most of the time, everything hits the way it should, and the consistency is night and day compared to how it used to be.

The staff has also been noticeably friendlier and more attentive, which makes a big difference. You can tell the place has made real improvements in how it’s run and how customers are treated.

Overall, it’s gone from a place with a pretty rough reputation to somewhere I actually don’t mind going back to. It’s not perfect — no restaurant is — but when it’s good, it’s really good, and these days it usually is. Definitely glad to see the change, and I hope it keeps going in that direction.“

“Great food! McKenzie, our waitress was amazing! Will definitely be back!“

“Casual spot where locals and travelers hang out. Love the karaoke.“

“The absolute best Waffle House I’ve ever been to. Wonderful, friendly staff, clean restaurant, and fast service. The food was excellent; I sat at the bar and watched the staff work as a team, like a well oiled machine. It’s truly rare in today’s time to see a team like the one I witnessed this morning. 10/10 recommend.“

“Ate breakfast there for the first time today and this was probably my best Waffle House experience ever. The vibe was good, the food was delicious, the employees were friendly and the restaurant was clean. Looking forward to going back soon.“

“Eat here almost every Friday. Food is really good and the staff sometimes work short handed and they work hard to take care of everyone in a timely fashion. I thank each of you for your service.“

“Wow!! We arrived late to the restaurant, was told it would be a wait for food. The service was amazing, the food was a bit of a wait, but after such a beautiful day at the lake, the restaurant was very busy. We appreciated the hospitality and kindness of the staff. Our food came out hot, even though we had to wait. The staff set the appropriate expectations, as we overheard similar conversations.

Way to go Keowee Shores (tiki hut) keep up the great work.“
