30 Best American Restaurants near Charleston

“Best home cooked food! Cant pass up the banana pudding either!“

“Little Diner First is an amazing hometown diner from the yesterdays. It’s a quaint dinner with amazing friendly staff and a delicious variety of food with specials that change every day. They’re known for their authentic breakfast specials, but their lunch menu is just as tasty. I have eaten here numerous times and have never had a bad meal or an unfriendly experience. There aren’t many diners like this left, so I encourage all to eat local at this hometown diner.“

“Had the turkey and dressing awesome!“

“Aubrey’s is one of the most consistent restaurants in Cleveland. As usual our food came out timely and fresh. We had a party of six and our meals ranged from hamburgers to pasta and chicken fingers. All of us were happy with our food. Our server was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend.“

“Our favorite rib place! Awesome food and wonderful service!!“

“We went here for dinner after spending the weekend in New Orleans. It was a long trip home and we were very hungry. We ordered the ribs with salad and a potato.

The ribs were absolutely delicious with copious BBQ sauce. They were cooked to perfection and were falling off the bone with little effort. The food was presented well.

If you want some of the best ribs in town I would highly recommend Logan’s.

Our waitress was excellent and very attentive. We had an excellent experience.“

“OMG The Homemade FRIED APPLE PIES ARE THE BOMB DIGGITY, think of Country Grandma!!! The Chef is a chill laid-back quant little place that offers diner style eats. The service is Great. You are met with smiling faces greeting you as you walk through the door. Don't have to wait long to receive your order. I recommend The Chef with 5 stars!!!“

“The best food in Benton..homemade food..just like Moma used to make..try the fajita bowls..they are delicious ??“

“I'm really sorry. I hate giving bad reviews but that was the driest hamburger I think I've ever had. The meat itself was juiceless and the burger came without mayo, mustard or ketchup on it and ask that was on the table was an almost empty bottle of ketchup.
Btw, I got a hamburger with bacon which was about $1.00 cheaper than a BLT. Anyone else find that odd?
Our waiter was great though!“

“Great variety on the menu!“

“We went to the 25th Street location while my dad played a show with a band, and we had been there the whole time, ordered food and everything. But after the guy took my drink order, he came up to our table and yelled at us saying we didn't pay to get in. We were told by the owner we didn't have to pay since we were with the band. we politely explained what we were told, But had said if we had to then we would, no problem. But instead of standing by what he said, the owner proceeded to YELL at Me saying if I was going to cause an issue then they'd ask us to leave. I felt so uneasy and pissed, because my fiance and I had been polite and everything the whole time. and the fact he was acting like he was only talking to me that way. when my fiance talked to him his tone changed. My stepmom was also with us, told my dad, and they haven't played at that location since. It was a NIGHTMARE.. plus from what I have heard from MULTIPLE people, they have let their waiter follow girls into restrooms and touch them inappropriately and just letting him go right back to work even AFTER the law was involved. This place needs to be investigated, shut down, or something! It is not safe..“

“Excellent Service and Great Food, one of my favorite restaurants!“

“Our avocado toast was fantastic! Great coffee and relaxing atmosphere. Will come here again! Note: there’s no signage, but easy to find.“

“This was some of the best pizza we have ever had! Living in Knoxville we visit Cleveland alot for baseball. We saw a recommendation on Facebook from a friend so decided to check it out! 10 ⭐️ !! Amazing!“

“Wow first time visit what an awesome meal!!! Try the Rueben or the twin chicken meal spectacular!!! Truly enjoyed our time out and meal. Just a heads up I felt bad to have to mention if you get water you might have to get up to get it as there isn’t a real plan for servers to come to your table outside of the first trip to deliver food. They are ere very pleasant to resolve the issue that was presented. Lovely location, great atmosphere and beautiful people. Make sure to plan a visit yummy.“

“I had never gone here before but received a gift card and decided to go inside and see what they offered for lunch. I was absolutely greeted with the best customer service ever from a gentleman named MONTANNA! He was so informative and personable that it immensely improved my over all visit and day! He let me sample a few items and gave great suggestions for my meal! Honestly because of this I got something I never would have and LOVED it! He went above and beyond to make my first experience the best it possibly could. Not to mention the food was delicious, he made it quickly and to order. I without a doubt will go back to try some of the other items in the future. The restaurant was quiet and my first impression was that it was maintained and cleaned very well.

“Our family eats at Big Tom's at least once a week. (Usually more.) We typically go at lunch or on Monday/Tuesday nights bc there isn’t live music those nights. A few weeks ago mom ordered potato soup at lunch and I had a bite and have wanted my own since. I’ve called a few times a week to ask the soup of the day since then. Today I told Nikki “I’m going to need the recipe from nana.” She did me one better and called nana right then. This is why we love to support local. We’ve been petitioning Aubrey’s for bread like they have in Knoxville for years to no avail. Mention once that you’re pregnant and want soup from Big Tom’s and nana’s making it tomorrow!“

“Excellent food and service! Tiffany is great server and clearly loves her job“

“My husband and I decided to eat here for the first time on our wedding anniversary. My husband's catfish basket was piping hot and he enjoyed it very much. My fried oyster Po boy was cold but still tasted good. Ther server was nice but never checked on us and I needed more water. We might try again sometime.“

“Came in today to get a BBQ sandwich, fries, and a sweet tea. BEST food I’ve had from a restaurant in ages! Everything was high-quality! So good! The lady that took my order was very sweet, also. Highly recommend Stadium BBQ!!!“

“Our son chose this to eat for his birthday. Our waitress Erin was great! Super kind to our son and incredible service. The cook Elishia cooked the best food we have ever eaten at any Waffle House! 10/10 and we will definitely be back when Erin and Elishia are working. Thank you for making our little boys experience great and our food delicious!“

“My waitress was Bryleigh and she was absolutely the best thanks from the guy that was sitting alone.“

“newly remodeled, it hit the spot 😋😋“

“The drive thru taker I had today her name is Taylor she was exceptional I have been in the food service industry for many many years and to run across a young lady who is respectful courteous and accommodating very upbeat and happy and was nice to find out she is a manager to know people are being trained by her hope to have many more nice and positive food service workers“

“The gumbo is legit, catfish is awesome, and of course the fried chicken!!! Get ya some redneck charcuterie to start that's sausage cheese and pickles, so good 🙂“

“Cleveland, TN location- The guy who seated me pulled my rolled silverware from his back pocket. The floor had food and needed to be cleaned in the area I was in. The table was clean but sticky. Be prepared to have to do 2 steps up to larger seating area. All lower bar seating areas have high tables or seating at the bar. Appetizer spinach and artichoke dip, salsa, chips; some chips tasted stale, salsa very watery, dip was excellent. Food (salmon, steamed broccoli, garlic mashed potatoes) was cooked/tasted perfectly!! Service was excellent!! Tea tasted unsweetened. My waitress said she knew that that is just how they fix it and offered to get me something else or sweetener packets. Reasonable prices compared to other places.“

“great atmosphere n great food“

“My 2 girls and I met there Thursday evening for dinner and Bible study. It was a little loud but stuck a happy atmosphere. Amanda, our server, was absolutely wonderful. She loves lime just like we do. She was so personable and took excellent cares of us. We each ordered the 3 for me so that made our affordable. The burgers were delicious and the chips and salsa was so yummy! We had a wonderful time. I was so happy and hungry, I didn’t take a single picture. Ha!“
