27 Best American Restaurants in Mount Juliet

“Great burgers, great service Will definitely will stop again. Wish there was a franchise closer to Kentucky. (The sweet potato waffle fries were over cooked but the waitress gladly took the price off the check ) Keep up the good work ?“

“Visited for the first time recently for breakfast.. Wow, the best I’ve ever had!!!! The omelette and strawberry french toast were AMAZING!!! The atmosphere is very cozy and the staff were incredible and welcoming!“

“Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing, staff are amazing and the owners are even more amazing! They offer an excellent variety of food and drinks as well as entertainment.

“I had the privilege of eating at Jonathan’s in MT. Juliet. The food was excellent and so was our server Molly. I gave the restaurant 5 stars and would also like to give Molly 5 stars . We will be returning customers. Thank you“

“My husband and I went to purchase a boneless pre-sliced ham for Thanksgiving which was pretty good. We paid around $56 for it. While there, I also tried their Turkey Pot Pie, but it wasn't that good to me. It was very bland and lacked flavor. However, I would go back to purchase another ham.“

“Last week, my husband and I finally made our first lunch visit to the Glade Diner in Gladeville, and it completely lived up to the small town buzz. The parking lot was packed and every table was full when we walked in, which is usually a great sign. The gal at the front desk let us know there would be a short wait, and sure enough, about 10 minutes later we were seated. We overheard that they were short staffed due to a callout, but honestly, you would not have known it from how smoothly things were moving. Our waitress was incredibly kind and welcoming, and she got our order in quickly despite juggling multiple tables. My husband went with the hot club sandwich and fries, and I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with onion rings. Let me just say, the food came out fast and absolutely delivered. My husband’s sandwich had that picture perfect cheese pull moment that you hope for but rarely get, and it tasted just as good as it looked! My chicken salad was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. And the onion rings truly stole the show. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, lightly seasoned, and just the right texture with every bite. Easily some of the best I have ever had. It is easy to see why this place stays busy. The Glade Diner has that classic, well-loved feel where good food and friendly service come together in the best way. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to come back again and again just to work your way through the menu. We are already looking forward to our next visit.“

“Great food,Great atmosphere staff is awesome. Very clean place to eat! If you have never eaten here you are missing out…Love the Custard made in small batches all day long…“

“Tried it for the first time, the glazed and chocolate frosted were absolutely incredible. They were fresh and warm and top tier.“

“When my fiancée and I moved here last summer, this was the very first place we went to after moving in. Since then this has become our go to night out location. Great vibes from everyone, great place to catch some Karaoke on a Friday night, and root on the Titans on Sunday afternoon. You are more than just a customer to them, you are family. And it is shown by the owner who will personally walk around and speak with every person that is at the restaurant! I would recommend this place for everyone who lives in Mt. Juliet and surrounding areas!“

“Recently moved to Mt. Juliet and was thrilled to discover a local RR! My husband and I really enjoy the bar experience, and Brooklyn & Z definitely didn’t disappoint.

I’m a big fan of the onion rings and fish & chips, and of course, the food is only part of what makes the experience enjoyable. Brooklyn & Z made sure our orders were correct, checked in to see if we needed anything, and most importantly, they genuinely engaged with us.

What stood out was how they shared a little piece of themselves and made the interaction feel personal rather than just another customer transaction. You can tell when someone truly cares about the experience they’re creating for their guests—and these two did just that.

We’re happy to have found another local spot we can enjoy, and we’ll definitely be back!“

“They get a star off only because I hate their bar top chairs. I will say they are over sized and very heavy, there is zero chance of someone leaning back in them and falling over but there is also zero space between which makes getting in and out of them difficult. Fingers getting pinched between is a thing too.
I stop in for lunch once in a while amd every so often after work. Food is generally spot on per the menu descriptions. Eat-in or carry-out.“

“Today was our first trip of many to the marina. the weather was as great as the experience. great staff, phenomenal food .“

“Musty smell like wet carpet. Was in a party of 14. Several sent their food back. We are not a picky group and several are former servers but pasta was over cooked. Some food was over salted (don't think I've ever had that issue in a restaurant) and my pork was under cooked. Server was pretty good. She had a lot going on.“

“I stopped by Sunday evening after a movie, and it had been a while since I’d visited this Steak ‘n Shake location. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch anyone’s names, but a huge shoutout to everyone working the evening shift on Sunday, 8/2/26!

The employee helping us was friendly, attentive, and somehow managed to provide fantastic service while also keeping the restaurant clean. Everything was either already clean or actively being cleaned, which definitely didn’t go unnoticed.

And clearly, the burger was on point and delicious! Thank you to you all!“

“Really loved the atmosphere! 🤩 I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for an old-school restaurant vibe. Everything was clean, the napkins on the tables were convenient, and they had country music playing. The food was delicious, and the service was fast! 👍🏼 Thanks to the staff! (8/16/2026)❤“
