14 Best American Restaurants near Kingston

“OMG - so good! We had lived in the Kingston area for a long time, moved away and just recently moved back “home” to stay. Had been wanting to try Caramella’s since returning. When family was here for the long Thanksgiving weekend we were able to get reservations for the 5 of us. The bistro was cozy, the food was fabulous, and the service impeccable. We were able to enjoy our meal and conversation without feeling rushed with courses perfectly timed and served. All of it was delicious! It was a real delight to talk with Chef Andras. We definitely enjoyed our meal and will be back! Thank you Chef Andras for bringing such fine dining to the area.“

“Great people. Great service. Great products!“

“I visited Maple Creek Bistro August 24th 2024, for the first time. I stumbled across it after my visit to Halo Salt Cave and Spa. I've dined in a lot of upscale, chique and fine dining atmospheres in the South in my 54 years, and Maple Creek is in the top three. I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, the cuisine, or their atmosphere. Both were not only exceptional, but also unique. This is an environment that promotes calm and Zen while at the same time is very stimulating to the senses. The food was absolutely top notch scrumptious and my server, I wish I could remember his name, was above the board amazing. So much creativity and thought was put into this place, the owners have got to be artists. I absolutely cannot wait until my next visit!“

“This is a new favorite of mine! Excellent!!! We always wanted to go here but it was always closed when we drove by... So the hours are 6:00am (breakfast till 10:30) then lunch till 2:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Great service and great food, can't wait to try breakfast!“

“The best food & service.“

“Don't order the spaghetti. Service is good. The food isn't bad but nothing to write home about. Value per dollar leaves a lot to be desired. I ordered spaghetti with Italian meatballs. There were 4 very small meatballs, a little bit of sauce and what seemed like a whole pound of pasta. Not what I expected, and I won't order that again.“

“On August 5, my husband, daughter, and I stopped at Cracker Barrel in Harriman. We were on our first outing in an unfamiliar van, a new venture for us with him going out and using his wheelchair. We were returning from the Vanderbilt ALS Clinic in Nashville. It had been a long day and we were having quite a rough time trying to get my husband situated but the staff was patient and courteous through it all. We appreciate that. Thank you. We would also like to thank the unidentified person(s) who paid for our meals. It was so very kind of you. You blessed us and lifted our spirits. May God bless you all.“

“Salad bar was very good. Please note that some “cold” items were too close to, or even under, the heat lamps. Saylor was my waitress. She was excellent and even though she gave me written instructions on how to rate five stars I must give four because of the potential for foods kept at the wrong temperature. This could be a food safety issue.“

“Love going to this location when I travel for the breakfast bar. Food was hot and fresh and service was mostly good. Wait to pay was a little long but it looked like they were short handed. But walk in sit down and eat, what's not to like?“
