50 Best American Restaurants near Leander

“Well if anyone needs an excuse to go try a smash burger from The Boss Cheesesteak, this is it lol. Probably one of the best burgers in general that I’ve had in a really long time. I got a triple but ate it before I could get a good pic. It was massive, hot, fresh, cheesy and so filling. 5 stars all around. Tried their #1 cheesesteak yesterday and it also did not disappoint. Am I about to become very fat? Possibly. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Good job boss crew“

“We love Smokey Mo's BBQ. I stop by whenever we're craving good BBQ. The staff is always friendly & anxious to please! The smell drives me crazy on the way home. I have all I can do not to pull over & inhale it all by myself. Of course the family would be upset I'm sure!“

“The bacon chicken ranch was 🔥 — juicy chicken, crispy bacon, and ranch done right. Don’t skip the garlic parm fries… perfectly seasoned and addicting. Great food all around!“

“Great place to watch your favorite sports shows and games“

“My wife and I went on opening night, we used the app to check in and drove over once our table was ready. The place was packed but they got us in and the staff was excellent and the food was great. So glad we have a Texas Roadhouse so close to home.“

“We visited Moonshine Bar & Grill this weekend, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment the food arrived, it was clear we were in for something special—chef’s kiss doesn’t even begin to cover it! Every dish was perfectly prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with care and excellence. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was attentive, and the overall experience was simply top-tier. This is the kind of place that reminds you why great food and great hospitality matter. 10 out of 10— We will absolutely be recommending Moonshine Bar & Grill and can’t wait to return! 🍽️✨“

“I love this place. We usually go several times during the month. We love our Cosmopolitan drinks always made with our favorite Grey Goose Vodka. The food is amazing. I’m not really into spicy but here I can handle it. Last but no least… the service! The customer service. Fast, kind, always with a smile open to help and give you advises. They are so skilled and knowledgable. Waiters knows al the plates, and tastes. Also huge shout out to my Venezuelan friend. He is a bus boy and he is always goes above and beyond. I’m Venezuelan and it’s really nice to see him. Every time he knows I’m there he comes to say hi, give us a recommendation too and more! He is just awesome! Thank y’all“

“We love the League Avs especially Lonnie!!“

“I had the club sandwich and it was great! We also had the seasoned fries with mozzarella cheese, bacon, and jalapeños & they were a great appetizer! Staff was very friendly and our friend was able to bring her very cute and well behaved dog with her. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Food was always delicious and made to order. Those working the truck were always super nice and you can tell they were working hard! Prices are very reasonable. Definitely give this place a shot! Pictured is the chipotle popper cheeseburger.“

“The cleanliness and atmosphere should be set as the standard across Hilton Garden Inns.Would get dinner earlier in the evening so it was quiet. Tended to immediately by staff who were great every time.One time, I worked late, ordered my food on my way up to room to shower, and it was ready when I returned. This was the highlight of the week.Really nice open layout but without the echoes. And if it gets loud here at the bar, you won’t notice in your room.More than likely will return.“

“Stopped by Dog Haus and had an awesome experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The burgers and hot dogs were packed with flavor, and the fries were on point too. What really stood out was the service and everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Great atmosphere, great food, and great people. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Leander now. Highly recommend!“

“While visiting the area, where I lived long ago, I found Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. And I'm glad I did! My server, Heather, was extremely polite and helpful, suggesting the use of the tableside game/payment device as a way to view photos of all the selections, since the printed menu had photos of select items. The glazed salmon was a fantastic lunch choice. My only regret: I wasn't in town long enough to return to sample more from the extensive menu.“

“Update your online menu!“

“Great food, lovely atmosphere, great service.“

“Plant based OG was amazing, but the come back sauce makes you wanna holler” I’m coming back for mo and mo!!!!!!!“

“Everything we have eaten there is AWESOME. I highly recommend Their variety of eggs Benedicts. Their match made is heave is my wife's favorite. This morning I had their ode to N.O. (New Orleans). I gotta say that's the best breakfast I have ever eaten. Give them a try. They are really friendly people and their staff is great also. We eat there at least once a week.“

“When Dahlia's is good, it's very good - I just wish they'd be more consistent. On this trip, good service, but the food was meh - and if you're going to have three young men standing around the host stand (how many hosts do you need?), maybe get them to actually DO something, like wipe down the disgustingly sticky menus, refill customer water glasses or something. \nBut we'll keep trying it whenever we're in the area - sometimes the food is outstanding.\nWish they had a fruit pie once in awhile, though . . .“

“great food and service. worth the money 💰“

“I’m not a huge BBQ fan but I just moved to Tx and had to try some BBQ. Wow! This is some of the best, juiciest, and tenderest meat I’ve ever had. The sauce is incredible as well.“

“This place is amazing. Probably the best Christmas event around Austin! Even better than the trail of lights. A-MA-ZING“

“Healthy eating isn't always the easiest thing to come by when dining out in Texas. Honest Mary is a fast-casual kitchen preparing vegetarian, gluten-free and healthy bowls at their two branches in Austin. We stopped by recently and did their Sedona Lime and Med Harissa Bowl, both were freshly prepared and tasted very good. You can also do custom bowls choosing your own proteins, rice/salad base and other food items/sauces. Prices are about right for the food quality and portion sizes served. Seating area is a regular, casual restaurant and bowls are prepared fairly quickly.“

“I had an absolutely wonderful time over Father’s Day weekend taking my dad up there. Longhorn is one of his favorite restaurants and we were also blessed with the sweetest server. Her name was Petunia. Her energy was amazing. She was very attentive to me and my parents. She made us giggle. We will definitely be coming back up to that location very soon. She gave us some great suggestions on drinks, appetizers, and dinner all over. Amazing experience.

Adult bartender/serve for myself. She is exactly what we were looking for coming in there.“

“Great food and customer service!“

“Burger I had for lunch yesterday was so yummy. Bacon was delicious, fries were done to perfection. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent [Original] Excellent“

“I love this place! It’s clean, has friendly staff, and mouth watering brisket.“

“Wow... The coffee is lovely Jet fuel🤓 And my server Julia is a Goddess☺🙏🏼 She is on point with everything and very thoughtful. I ordered the duo Benny today? That Bella Bella steals the show😍 The green drink was Very replenishing too. Thank you for a beautiful delicious moment Ms Julia💖“

“If I was to have a neighborhood bar, this would be the model. Great staff and pool tables are in order. Darts, byo but the bar darts are decent for the casual player. Thanks so much Justine (bartender extraordinaire) for taking of us! Thirsty Goat Amber draft beer is 🤙.“

“We had catering done for our family Christmas lunch today and we had so many compliments. And we had people from lots of places and there was so much food! Everything was included, it was fantastic. I’m will use Smokey Mo’s again for sure!“

“We were in town for my son’s basketball tournament and decided to stop in for lunch. Upon arrival the staff was very pleasant and attentive. The food came out fresh and hot! My hubby found out that they have their own beer and definitely couldn’t leave without a pack. Thank you for the hospitality. If we ever return to your town this restaurant will be on our list ?“

“I'm going to be honest I ain't getting paid, sponsored, or swayed by the pretty girls working here.

The live music is decent, the drinks do the job, and the food is good I think I mostly come back for it My biggest complaint is that the staff could check in on customers a little more often. A lot of the time it was faster for me to go up and get my own drink. Regulars typically get drinks first

That said, I've been here a few times and it's not a bad bar at all. If you're a regular, you'll probably get even better service. My advice is simple speak up if you need something and don't be afraid to be a little independent. You'll have a good time.“

“Tonight was our first time trying them, And I must say the food and customer service was amazing! I am a wings gal and they brought what needed to be brought to the table! We are definitely spinning the block on them again! Thank you guys (Carlos and his wife) so much for a great experience! 😁😋“

“Good beer selection and the pizza is good. Great ambiance. But I have to warn you, I have not had a burger that bad since school cafeteria burgers when I was a kid. Tough justifying $11 for one of the worst burgers I’ve ever had. Same for my wife.“

“We drive an hour to eat and we’re told it would be a 45 minute wait and then when that time came they would be closing and turned away. There were 8 at least empty tables. We come there a lot and disappointed. We even told hostess we drove an hr.“

“Super hole in the wall, good food, good atmosphere!! Loved it!!!! Kids played pool and drew with sidewalk chalk. Did I mention the food was GREAT! A big thanks to our awesome server!“

“We came to Kerbey Lane to celebrate the start of my 4th year as a business owner! My family has been an integral part of my success of LearnLee Tutors! So we celebrate with warm, fluffy pancakes and coffee!“

“I love everything about Texas Roadhouse even the managers😂🤗😍“

“Great place but watch out for the games that don’t work(they will give you a refund if you let them know) 😄“

“Wow…I heard the hype and I admit I was a little skeptical, but wow. The food was so delicious. We got the triple dipper (mozzarella sticks, chipotle chicken, and bites), the ribs (2 combo with chipotle chicken crispers, Mac and cheese and fries), and the Nashville crispers. Everything was so good and fresh! Our waitress Neveah was literally an angel. Just 5 stars all around.“

“First time here and love it!“
