42 Best American Restaurants near Red Oak

“My food was great, There only appeared to be one server and it got very busy. She was attentive and friendly when she could be, but we had to wait awhile to order and we didn't get our check. Also the person who I assumed was the manager or owner was having a conversation about politics with a customer which I found inappropriate. Overall the food was good but be prepared for a wait.“

“This restaurant is a little hidden gem, showcasing a comfortable and aesthetic interior. They have a bar tucked away in its own area away from the general dining area. Towards the back of the restaurant there’s 3 pool tables, as well as a comfortable patio section. The food is delicious and very well made, multiple menu options, tasty and flavorful. 10/10 recommend for a night out, quick lunch, or weekend dinner.“

“Love the selection of drinks, Mimosas ?We ordered the pancake breakfast and catfish w/grits.Pancakes are just on the sweet side, which, for me, is perfect. Just add butter. Those with a sweet tooth make sure to get the Caramel and strawberries!My grits were thick and creamy, and I added cheese. Catfish was to die for! Full of flavor and cooked to perfection.Sorry I didn't take pictures !“

“Samosa is a gem offering clean vegan cuisine for the entire family. We ordered loaded vegan and turkey nachos. We also ordered a kids grilled cheese and fries. The family who is servicing was so kind and the kitchen staff delivered food piping hot extremely quick. We loved the e food and will definitely be back to visit again. When you try it- definitely get the nachos(2 people can dine on it together)“

“After a minor mishap with the cheese type on my burger, it was absolutely to die for! It was wonderful. Our (mine and 2 friends of mine) waitress was so kind and attentive, without interrupting our conversation every 2 minutes, that it made my first visit ever to Red Robin just the best!“

“Zac's has the one of the Greater Tasting Philly Cheese Steaks ? Delicious ? You will love it. Onion Rings and French fries were great and the Vanilla Shake was homemade, oh My God Awesome Delicious ? every time I go to Dallas TX I must stop.For years I have not found a restaurant to top the Philly Cheese Steaks from Philadelphia, but Zac's is running side by side.Thanks Zacs for such GREAT AND DELICIOUS FOOD AND THE SERVICE IS GOOD. GOOD PEOPLE THANKS AGAIN ?☺️“

“As always the food is good. The staff is friendly. The service is fast. This time on my visit I paid attention to the bartender. He was good at what he was doing except... I observed him make a drink that needed to be shaken. That was fine, but to pour the drink he put the shaker cup bottom side down inside the cup with the finished drink inside and used it as a strainer. No problem except that his naked hands were on that part of the cup and I observed him handling money. This means he transferred whatever was on his unclean hands to the persons drink. More attention needs to be given to bar hygiene.“

“Had a medium spicy chicken sando. Was the perfect spice level for me since I don’t like to OD on capsaicin anymore. The chicken breast was huge and the bun only covered about 1/2 of it. The house sauce was tasty as well. Definitely would return when in the area.“

“The Rocket Cafe is great place to go and have a great meal with friendly fun relaxing atmosphere. It is definitely worth the trip and great prices. The last time I had the chopped steak. It was as delicious as we ate this time. They also have live music on the weekends. It is a must try. We will definitely make the trip again.Vegetarian options: You can order vegetables from the sides.Parking: Parking by the Restaurant and a large parking lot across the street.Kid-friendliness: Had games for kids to play while families sit and talk before and after.“

“The initial interaction leaves an indelible mark in one's memory. The man who welcomed me exuded kindness and politeness. I decided to order the crispy chicken salad and buffalo chicken fries, which turned out to be quite a substantial amount of food! Yet, everything was exceptionally fresh and tasty. The margarita daiquiri was spot-on.“

“French Toast: Was Perfectly made and I loved the taste the powdered sugar added to it. I added butter on the toast to melt.Bacon and Eggs: The bacon was really crispy which I loved and the eggs were nice and golden. The eggs weren’t that seasoned so I had added salt and pepper which was provided on the table.Please like if this review was helpful. Follow me on Instagram for more @itzroni_“

“It was sooo cool. Ms D met me at the door. Jumped up to serve me as I walked up. She was professional, kind and very helpful being this was my first time here. Food was better than I could have imagined. A great dining experience for me and my wife. Now that I know the convenience of calling in your order will be making that call often. Great job Ms D. Great food dventures.“

“During a recent visit to Dallas, I stopped by a "service station" restaurant in Duncanville, TX. Although the reviews were great, I was a little apprehensive. I spoke to several regular patrons who assured me that the food was good! Let me tell you....they were right!! The food was absolutely amazing!!! Probably the best nachos I've ever had!“

“This waffle house was awesome ? also. There was no wait at all, and the food was there very quickly. I have been going to this one for a while. They have long-term employees who have worked there for years. Very good service along with great attitudes. The people in the food industry always seemed to be ignored. But I know that they work hard and long hours for their paycheck.“

“I got the $15 all you can eat meal. First order was the boneless wings. They took roughly 10 minutes to come out - and tasted great. Large bites plenty of chicken in them. Was able to order the 2nd, pork riblets when I was mostly done making the arrival of the them right after I finished the boneless wings.We finished off with the fudge brownie and ice cream which was amazing. Warm fudge covering the brownie and chocolate drizzle over the ice cream. Nothing spectacular about it, but it was still as good as other restaurants.Overall great value for the all you can eat. Service was great as well. They also offer 20% military discount.“

“First I’d like to say that the service was awesome. The guy cooking the food went over and beyond! I tried a fry before I left the restaurant and it was soooo good! I barely made it home. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak basket and it was delicious!!! A bit saltier than I’d prefer but overall really good. I will definitely be returning.“

“Took my wife and two daughters. Must say, even for a small little cafe, best one I have ever been to! One chef and one server did this place good! Took a while on food, but I knew and my wife knew it was going to be well worth the wait. Ordered pancake and sausage for little and it was awesome! I know because me and my wife finished the rest of it. Didn’t need a lot of syrup considering the batter was fantastic as is. Other daughter ordered the fried shrimp burger, not bad. It reminded me of a crab patty but the flavors were there, especially with the slaw. I got double bacon cheese burger and it was the best damn burger I have ever had in a while! With onion rings. Only issue I had was two onion rings got stuck together so batter didn’t cook, but one ring out of a order wasn’t to bad and of course chef has no control over it. My wife got the a breakfast plate. Just gonna say that this review does no justice. The chef was on point and didn’t disappoint. The server was very attentive and very polite. She checked on us every so often and was always so kind. Very rare to find a cafe like this. Definitely going back to try the rest of the menu. Don’t sleep on this place!! Also my daughters loved seeing the planes land and take off.“

“Went here around 2pm on a Monday not busy and received very prompt /pleasant service. I ordered the 2 meat plate with pulled pork and sliced brisket , mac n cheese, greens &side of cobbler.Meats were tender , well seasoned overall delicious. No complaints there! Only thing is I recommend adding another slice of bread if you want to make a sandwich with your meat. It only comes with one and there’s an extra charge for more.Mac n cheese is different than previous photos, flavor was not there for me and was more like a casseroleGreens were delicious! Had a different taste than your normal thanksgiving plate, almost as iv there was some carribean influence .Cobbler was ok , a tad watery than would’ve liked and too heavy on the nutmegg, but decent and i ate it lol.Overall would 100% go back!“

“Very tasty food, you get the daily recommendations in the evening. Really good. Chubby's is very clean and looks newly renovated, but a bit sterile. The waitresses are super nice and regularly ask questions, but are never intrusive and always have a smile for their customers. Additional requests will be taken care of immediately.Parking: At peak times it can get crowded in front of the restaurant but then you just walk 30 seconds longer.“

“Had some fantastic food here. Ordered the two piece jerk chicken with rice and plantains. The rice was super flavorful and the plantains were sweet and delicious.The Jerk was awesome. A little saucier than I'm used to, but that's a good thing. Their jerk sauce is 10/10 and I couldn't get enough.Coworker also said the cabbage was the best he's ever had.“

“J's Deli is surrounded by office buildings, but close to the main street. I went during lunch and there was plenty of seating space. The inside was clean. I went here because I read a review about paninis and I was craving one. It was okay. I appreciate that they used the right bread which is hard to find lately. The service was speedy and incredibly helpful.“

“So I decided to try this place after passing by it several times and the mixed reviews. The drive thru was full and wrapped around the buildings entrance. So I made my order for a 5pc dark meal, 3 PC dark meal and 10pc hot wings. Just to get a variety of the sides and offerings. So all the meat came out steaming as it was fresh and tasty. So I was very impressed. But the sides were not as fresh and I was disappointed with the fried rice as it was very sad looking and tasting. The individual at the cashier was very professional and had no issues. The atmosphere was decent as DeSoto is nice to me so far. So this is a decent spot for good chicken and adding it to my places in the area.“

“It's 2024 hopefully they upgraded them Link basket orders so it comes with 2 slices of bread instead of 1. All the burger ? Buns needs to upgraded so it want be all soggy. Upgrade wings to not boneless & boneless wings. Poundcakes ? bussing regardless of the meals you pick...???“

“Stepped into a time warp here vis-a-vis the interior decor - forty years old? The prices of old staples have doubled understandably; hence no complaints.The food was plated correctly. Each item was freshly cooked. I felt that the fried fish was too mushy inside. I sincerely hope that the bean counters have not taken over the company.The service was extremely courteous. The place was clean, tidy and warm (it was well below freezing ) outside.“

“Color Purple Cafe has the absolute best food and service! Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious and the service makes all customers feel like a part of the family. I would highly recommend for great food, service, and catering needs.“

“Loved walking into the place and being seated immediately. Our server Nevaeh G. Immediately said she was in training. Well she was courteous and very attentive to us. I ordered coffee and told her it wasn't good. She took the cup and went and made fresh coffee. Our food was delicious. The cooks presentation of an over medium egg was the best I have had. My husbands food was cooked with love. When checking out, I expressed how pleased the service was and she informed us, our server was 16 and her first job. I increased her tip, i wanted her to feel encouraged and appreciated. Keep up the great work to this entire Denny's team . Training the future begins with us all. We forgot to take pictures?Parking: Drive up and parkKid-friendliness: Children yes“

“I have been going to TGI Friday's for year. I love chicken wings cooked in the whiskey glaze. Rosa is a great bartender. The service is always friendly and fast. Good music plays over the sound system and always sports being played on the TV. I come almost every weekend and will continue to do so.“

“I know I wrote a review of this place & I posted many photos. Photos of the burgers and the fried pies. This place is posted in "my YELP lists" of my favorite burger places. I realize some yelpers said this place closed, but it did not close, it is very much open. Attention YELP HQ: I want my review & photos posted back please. This place has the best burger in North Texas bc it's a custom hand ground brisket burger. Still the best. Highly recommend.“

“What can I say about ihop, great menu, most servers are fantastic I have not gotten any servers that I've had a problem with. Even though I say they have a great menu, one item, the chicken florentine crepes, were sadly removed. Great town restaurant.“

“Stunning Waffle House.This was absolutely the cleanest, speediest, and just overall totally spot on WH I have ever been to. It was seriously so so clean. The service was quick and everyone was super friendly. I truly enjoyed everything about this visit.“

“I went here for the first time on Mother’s Day. Place was empty but the staff was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu so I chose her recommendation (Superhead) and I added a extra shot. I’m not a alcohol person but it was good, wasn’t too strong but I felt it and it was only a small. I would definitely go back again!“

“We went in for lunch and found a line and a short wait. Not a big deal, we arrived at the lunch rush. Once seated the service was impeccable. Our server made sure our drinks were refilled, and even though the kitchen was swamped, our meals arrived after a short wait. I have dietary restrictions and my order took a little longer. It was well worth the wait. My only complaint, and it's one I have with many establishments, is that the ambient music is far too loud. Don't make your clientele yell at each other.“

“We arrived, and their was a live saxophone player performing. We generally go to Red Robin but wanted to try something local... We ordered their basic hamburger with pepper jack, and it is the best burger my husband and I have ever tried. We're coming back tomorrow with my in-laws. They even have a vegan burger option which is always appreciated. Plus the service was friendly.“

“Oh, my God, it is like no snow cone, It's like eating clouds, it's so Delicious, my goodness.So ice is so so soft on real so yes yes yes once you eat this snow cone you never want nobody else.....you be like other snowcone places or nasty compared 2 this place is Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Y'all. This is literally the best Beyond Burger I've had in DFW. The really season the ground meat so that the patty stood on its own, no condiments needed. And the fries?? Yeah the seasoning on those was perfect and they seemed to have just a hint of lemon juice sprinkled across them. Now the drinks?!! 10/10. I got a mix of the 190 Octane, Piña Colada, and Blue Hawaiian and it was ON POINT. Definitely will be back and recommend you check it out if you're in the area“

“I visited the Midlothian location. . The food was great.. but what impressed me is I thought I left my wallet and I called and spoke to Pedro, the store manager. He went above and beyond to try and locate it for me.. him and another girl. I didn’t get her name, but they were both very helpful. I ended up finding it in my car… but I appreciate the effort they made trying to find it for me! Thank you so much for your great customer service ❤️“

“My first time today but this wont be the last time I come here! After a big volunteer job today, I wanted a drink. Bree & Lyric provide friendly, prompt, and fun service. Great atmosphere, the burger sliders and fries were amazing! I got mine with lettuce and tomato instead of cheese and onions. The parking was free and right in front. The same owners own the seafood restaurant down the shopping center so I liked that you could order from there and get it brought to you at the Bar. My partner and I really enjoyed ourselves and we look forward to coming thru again. Try a half long island/half pineapple it gave me a nice buzz while I sat and watched the Womens NCAA bball game.“

“Every time I go here my experience is always good! I get seated quickly, the waiters/waitresses are nice, and the food always come out at a reasonable time. I usually go during their lunch hours because they have great prices. I've been able to try a lot, and everything is delicious in my opinion.“

“Food was okay, nothing to get excited about. Broccoli and cheese casserole could do with some more seasoning.The waitress, Sheridan, LOVE HER. She was such an amazing server and just so sweet. Highly recommend asking for her.As for the other servers, might wanna watch what you say. Y’all speak loud and clear about smoking in your car and how much you hate your job, very unfortunate.“

“What a friendly and comfortable restaurant. We have not been to Luby's Cafeteria in years. Bring a big appetite when you visit this fantastic restaurant. We had so many things to choose from, but as we are on a Keto diet for the moment we chose fish and veggies. Everything looked delicious, and our meals were out of this world. A smiley faced jovial man checked on us a few times even though it is a cafeteria place. All the many employees deserve kudos for their hard work in preparing and serving such delicious food. BTW You cannot beat the low prices. Thanks, oodles, for this wonderful experience, Luby's!!! You will see us again at another one of your locations.“

“Denny's has always been one of our go to places for breakfast. This location did not disappoint as far as the food goes. Cooks were on point as everything tasted amazing, nice and hot, good presentation.4 out of 5 because the server today just seemed like she didn't want to be there today. Not rude or disrespectful but seemed mad.Also there was a homeless person begging for food right by the front door when we got there and still there when we left. No attempt that I saw by mgt to ask him to leave. Not a good look for a restaurant.Prices have been going up like everywhere, but $18 for a breakfast plate does seem high.Location convenient to highway, but parking lot design kind of odd.I'd recommend any Dennys for the food, very consistent and always tastes great.“

“Chase, our server, was so incredibly kind and patient. He had a group of about 25 individuals who all had separate tabs, were very rude and standing in the walk ways, making Chase’ job even harder… Chase was the only server and he had 4 other tables, in addition to the group of 25. Our food came out fast and hot, he was attentive… as this huge group left, being in hospitality management, I was being nosy and watching what he made in tips… (a lot of them paid cash)We became friendly, and I was paying close attention to how he’d been treated and how TRASHED these customers left their tables and area. I asked him what he made and unfortunately it was less than $1/customer. It wasn’t that that even upset him as much as how LONG it would’ve taken him to clean up (by himself, only person working on floor) and have other tables ready for the next rush that was walking in.My husband and I snapped into action and helped bus/clear his tables so he could tend to the next customer groups coming in.Denny’s should recognize him as an outstanding employee AND consider adding another server or busser to the overnight shift.Chase, you changed my life tonight. Thank you for your kindness. ?“
