50 Best American Restaurants near Forest Hill

“There was a small line not too too busy. The ceiling was leaking from the vents that was scary. Hazardous and extremely dangerous with it without a wet floor sign. Our food was delicious and I am Glad I came back to Killeen I only wish another captain d’s would come back our way! Missing a piece of home. The young man in the purple shirt was very helpful and amazing the customer service is outstanding still and I wouldn’t change anything about the wonderful feeling of getting what I paid for #alabama“

“I have ordered the two eggs with meat breakfast and it was great. I always ask for tomatoes in my scrambled eggs and an order of sausage patties. I get the hashbrowns that come with it, and this time I got pancakes instead of the biscuit. I was surprised and disappointed at how over cooked my hashbrowns were. Normally, they are crispy and soft, which is perfect. I requested that my eggs were cooked well don but I did not say anything about the hashbrowns. They were so over cooked that I could not enjoy them at all. I was unable to bring my food back because I had to work but I will definitely remind them the next time.“

“We had the best experience this weekend at Bonnell’s. Long story short we don’t go out to eat because my son has a lot of food allergies and it’s not easy to accommodate them. However it was his 13th birthday so we really wanted to celebrate. The chef worked with me prior to coming in and made sure my kiddo was able to have a wonderful and safe meal to celebrate a huge milestone. All of the staff were sweet and thoughtful as well. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is warm. I’m happy to forever brag on this restaurant!“

“I love this place so much for obvious reasons if you’ve ever been there, but… the cinnamon roll needs to be hot and delicious, or just flat out nonexistent on the menu. What in the world is this crusted on icing? Why does the idea of a nasty ziplock bag honeybun from a middle school vending machine sound better than whatever I just took a bite out of. I could not finish the one bite I took of this cold remnant idea of a sweet treat if I tried. Cmon you guys. Do everything with excellence.“

“I reccomend this place for a great night with family and friends .Atmosphere is perfect and Moody . We went on a Saturday night at 7:30 pm and sat outside on the patio .The staff is remarkable.
I had the Tomato Bisque Soup which was delicious and creamy and the side salad ,I recommend the house dressing for your salad because it was so tasty . My mother had the tuna salad and she loved it .My Grandson had the lettuce wraps which were delicious. My Sister in law had a burger she said it was good . My husband had the delicious meatball with rigotoni which was so big he couldn't finish .
The drinks were good .
We had wine , old fashioned, Mezcal Margaritas and a dirty Martini .Everyone enjoyed the drinks , oh and a Chocolate Martini .We had different desserts.
The Chocolate cake was delicious .The Pumkin cheesecake was amazing, the Chocolate ( pudding ) was so delicious , just make sure and share it with someone because it is rich !!
The price for everything was so reasonable . We felt like this place was very high end without the high end price .“

“I love this place, I come often, but please please please bring back the salmon tacos!!! They were my favorite thing to get and I would bring all my friends there just to taste them. I went today to find they changed them to tostadas and was heartbroken! The tostadas left a lot to be desired. Bring the tacos back!!“

“Went quite a bit when they first opened and then stopped dont know why for sure but went back fri night because I saw an add for shrimp and grits and it was very possibly the best I've😍 ever had wife had pizza with Wagyu steak equally as good. Need to ck this place out you wont be disappointed“

“Really good burgers and service. Not a big fan of the fountain drink selection, but the tea isn't bad. Overall a good lunch spot, it can just be a little noisy if trying to have a business lunch there. Also, the long tables don't leave a lot of room for 2-3 people unless you're okay with sitting with strangers.“

“The tequila lime chicken was so so good! The atmosphere was nice. Love a good patio. We loved it. Recommend the cheesecake for dessert. We will definitely be back. 🩷“

“Old gas station turned burger joint. Burgers are great! They have sandwiches, salads, chicken and hot dogs too! Fries, tots, cheese stix and more for sides. Recently added tater kegz. Homemade desserts, ice cream and shakes to boot. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Just left and will never go back. Ordered a burger and didn’t realize until I had eaten several bites that a large portion in the middle was totally raw. Not just undercooked a little - totally raw. I chose to not send it back as I had consumed some of it but saved it to show the waitress. When she told the manager, the manager blamed her ( the waitress). I then spoke to the manager and she would not listen and kept insisting it was the waitress who was responsible. She talked right over me, and was downright nasty.She admitted she didn’t bother to look at the burger. No customer service skills whatsoever. I was not asking for anything just explaining it was not the waitress’ fault that the kitchen didn’t cook the burger. The waitress was very concerned and apologized. She did an excellent job of customer service.“

“We hosted our rehearsal dinner at City Works Eatery and Pour House. Honestly nothing but great things from the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the staff. Colleen was so helpful throughout the planning process and she even came by on event day! They were flexible with us with possible rain on event day, but it all worked out perfect with the heaters on the patio. It was such a great evening thanks to the amazing team they have at City Works Clearfork! They made us feel like it was a small family dinner with hot meals and endless drinks while serving 100 of our guests. The team was professional, personable, and kind. I couldn't recommend more. We had a blast.“

“Overall great experience from the hosts, wait staff, chef, and food beyond fresh. Thank you for the vision and taking care of the community. Everyone EATs ❤️“

“I just tried the food here because I am always looking for healthy options and no fast foods. I was really happy with the quality of the food! I had the Chicken Caprice and it was delicious! I will definitely be ordering again!“

“The lobster and steak and fried green tomatoes. first time visiting, and my husband and I are coming back. Excellent service. keep up the great customer service. WE LOVE IT! 😋😋“

“Prices have gone thru the roof!“

“Amazing dinner with the gals!! The food was flavorful and delicious. I had the bacon cheeseburger and by far one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Everyone at the table raved about their food. The staff was pleasant and we got to meet the Chef, he personally came out to check how everything was. Definitely recommend, will be back soon!“

“The food was really great, I had the classic because I was just in the mood for a burger. Also got the fried Oreos , there were so delicious.

The only thing we had a problem with was there was a couple of fruit flies invading our mean. That was the only downside. Other then that the food and the people were 👍🏻“

“We were lucky enough to get a table for 3 at 6:30 on a Saturday night. I believe our servers name was Rudy (sorry if that's not right). Anyways he was great explaining the menu, his favorites, and popular dishes. We went with the gargonzola fries and the apricot brie with pita. Loved the fries but wish the cheese was spread out more over the fries. Only half the fries were topped which led to half just being normal waffle fries. Great taste and idea but execution could be a little better. I did not care for the brie but I'm not a fan of that. The rest of the table loved it so I would have to day it was good. Lol. I had the poblano burger for my entree. They cook it well done so I was worried but it was juicy and tasted very good. It was actually better than I expected! It also was served with fries. Washed it all down with the German pilsner which was really good and refreshing as well. Service was top notch and the pace of the meal was perfect. I highly recommend this place and I look forward to going back to try other dishes.“

“Great food, wonderful service, lots of choices—everything was delicious for our party of 6.“

“I’m upset at myself for waiting so long to come here. Of course I’ve heard about it and it was on my list for so long and finally gave it a chance. It wasn’t too busy so that may have played a part in it but still, the food was AMAZING! They have very interesting options for all preferences. I had the brisket Benedicts and were really really good. My friend had the chicken and waffles and the chicken was extra crispy and was great too. Our waiter took his time and was very patient and helpful so that was very much appreciated. I cannot wait to come back and try other dishes in their menu. I totally recommend it and now I understand why they’re always busy.“

“Tonight was my first time eating at Flower Child. My husband has spoken highly about this place, and it did not disappoint! I had the chicken entree with broccoli and mac n cheese. So tasty! Ended the night with some lemon oil cake, very tasty but not very lemony.“

“The flood is absolutely delicious and the wait are fantastic! Highly recommend“

“Great drinks and finger food. Even better service from the staff.“

“Ate breakfast here this morning food was good, service was slow but the shocker was seeing a "food tax" fee on my bill. No signage at entrance displaying an announcement of this new "fee". Cashier couldn't explain what it was for, why not raise your prices instead of sneaking this onto people's bill? Seems dishonest to me....“

“this place is fantastic. love the waiters, and food it hot and delicious. great beer selection!! anytime I'm over in Helen are we hit up this spot!!“

“My favorite place to gather, eat and listen to great music (wink, wink). Some of the best food anywhere. I love performing at The Brand Room and the staff is always friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is classy western and the owners are great friends. 5 stars!“

“Ross is so slay if you are a very cool person then request Ross. If you don’t request Ross then you are stinky. Ross is so nice and hospitable, for a moment there I thought I was in Heaven. So yeah, ask for Ross but beware when you can’t find your socks, because he is so great … he will knock your socks off your feet! #rossinator #rossrocks #rossforpresident #ross2028“

“Great food....would recommend ..“

“Do yourself a favor and swing thru the new Bobby V's and make yourself a great memory.

New management has made a solid difference. Bruce and his staff are experts in quality and efficiency, every visit is a good memory. The artwork and atmosphere is improving everyday and the regular customers are happy to welcome in new guests and visitors into the bar.
Do yourself a favor and swing thru the new Bobby V's and make yourself a grateful memory.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite to eat. Korn was our server. She was very friendly and kept a lively conversation going. We had chips queso and salsa along with a few drinks. She also brought out our to go order too.“

“They say money can’t buy you happiness I beg to differ. I took my Mom to lunch (paid for it) and she is beyond happy. Luby’s for the Win❤️“

“A Memorable Dining Experience at The Little Red Wasp

From the moment I walked through the doors of The Little Red Wasp, I knew I was in for something special. This vibrant, open-concept space strikes the perfect balance between casual comfort and elevated dining—welcoming without ever feeling too laid back.

The food? Simply outstanding. I ordered the salmon, and it was perfectly prepared—flaky, flavorful, and beautifully plated. What impressed me most wasn’t just the execution (which was exceptional), but the thoughtful care the kitchen took in accommodating my food allergies without compromising taste. Every element on the plate felt intentional and balanced, and I savored every bite—no leftovers, just a clean plate and a very satisfied diner.

I also started with a cocktail that, while well-crafted, wasn’t quite what I had expected. My server noticed this and—without hesitation—recommended another option. The watermelon-based cocktail she brought out was an absolute standout: refreshing, vibrant, and unexpectedly memorable. Both drinks were good, but her recommendation truly elevated the experience.

Portions were generous, and the quality of ingredients shone through in every course. From the kitchen to the bar to the attentive, intuitive service, The Little Red Wasp excels at every level.

It’s rare to find a restaurant that feels this dialed-in and genuinely welcoming. I’ll absolutely be returning—this time with my parents, to celebrate their anniversary. It’s exactly the kind of place you want to share with people you love.“

“Hannah is the best server food was great“

“It’s definitely good. But boyyyyy he like spirit airlines! He will charge you for EVERYTHING! U ask for extra mild sauce he will charge u and give you a squirt! Again food is good but most times Id rather go drive to Chicago chicken coop Or whats cluckin or JJs to be honest!“

“Super divertido! La pizza muy buena!🤩🤩“

“First of all, I want to express my gratitude for your support of our veterans. My friend and I enjoyed our Veteran's meal, and our server, Ryan, was great. Ryan was kind, competent, and sometimes funny! Additionally, we received a free hour to play games!“

“Such a great place to visit on a long road trip. The service is always warm, friendly and efficient. I've had everything from French Toast to the Veggie Burger. The food is consistently delicious. Definitely a must try if you have a group of people who can't agree on what to eat. The menu is vast! Kids love it!“

“The chicken and potatoes was delish and the salad was very crisp and tasty. Definitely a 5 star“

“Great atmosphere 🥰 Staff is wonderful to their customers 😀“

“Came in just for drinks at the bar and was blown away! The atmosphere was perfect—lively but not overwhelming, with music at just the right volume so you can actually enjoy a conversation. Shelby, the bartender, was absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and really knows her craft. We had a dirty martini, and it was one of the best We’ve ever had, complete with the perfect ice shavings on top. Can’t wait to come back!“

“It's just a great place to have a delicious meal.“

“We took the kids for Spring Break and had so much fun! Highly recommend!“

“If you like fried food this is the place. I got the fried catfish and shrimp. Honestly the fish was cooked extra crispy just the way I like it, large pieces also. The shrimp was okay, maybe it was rushed. Definitely thumbs up from me and my coworkers and we all highly recommend. It’s located in a gas station and the sign is super small. The place gets busy during lunch time also.“

“Gracias a Fabiola muy amable“

“Aaron and his team are truly masters at creating fabulous and flavorful meals! They are truly a class act. Their customer service and gourmet meals are outstanding!“
