50 Best American Restaurants near Carrollton

“We had our first visit, and we were impressed! The inside was clean and outside views are great. All the servers were working together and moving intentionally. We ordered calimari as an appetizer- it was delicious. The main entrees were large. Unfortunately, the seafood feast and crab cakes were very salty, though cooked perfectly. The filet was amazing! We’d love to say we would be back, but the saltiness was a turn off.“

“Great food.😋 Great establishment overall. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The BBQ All the Way is on point! Definitely going back. Great food, good portions, and friendly service. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food, service, ambience. Smaller restaurant so you will be sitting closer to others but the ambience and service make up for it. The food and drinks are incredible. We had the octopus app, scallop/ lamb bacon chef special and the shrimp risotto. It all was cooked perfectly. The dinner is one we will remember!“

“Legitimately the best burger I’ve ever had, the Valkyrie burger definitely gave me a true taste of Valhalla … this Maryland girl will definitely be back for another ?“

“The BEST FAMILY RESTAURANT IN TOWN! Amazing grilled cheeseburgers and phenomenal chicken sandwiches! Friendly service with the most beautiful smiles :) Melt in your mouth chili cheese dogs! Thank you for having us for a Hidenwood Elementary School Spirit Night and our PTA meeting. We had a blast!“

“Very friendly and accommodating to our large lunch party. Positive comments from co-workers all-around. Fresh, flavorful food. We definitely were not under fed, a few had food left to box after, but quality is more the focus rather than quantity.“

“great food and service and my girls love to go in your shop“

“My husband, son and I enjoyed our supper at Metro this evening. We had an excellent waitress -- answered questions, pleasant exchange about the menu, anticipated time for drink refills and brought our tab without the long wait after finishing. Our only complaint was the loud music -- hard for us to converse since my husband and I are both hearing impaired.“

“Absolutely in LOVE with this place! Cat was absolutely amazing! she was quick and attentive, great customer service. would definitely come again.“

“Tried this place with my lady and it was pretty dope. Lots of wing flavors to choose from and the cashier is really laid back knowledgeable and even told us some of his favorites. Prices are a little steep but what food isn't these days? Worth it!“

“Lucky we found this place. Definitely will be back when we pass through the Area. Definitely A Local Favorite they were Rollin. But Did not Effect Service or getting our Food. Both were on point.Breakfast was Awesome! looking forward to trying Lunch next time.“

“The Chicken and Dumplings were delicious . Was disappointed that there were pieces of bone in it.“

“Interesting menu items. The bathroom is a little different. I stop off here infrequently on my way to training or if I have other business in the area. The family has great service skills and are efficient owrking large crowds during lunch.“

“Food was delicious!! Barbecue was so good! Ribs were smoky, brisket tender, pulled pork tangy. It all went together perfectly. The staff and owner Mark are so friendly. Love the atmosphere!“

“Ok hear me out this place is so GOOD, it was my FIRST TIME trying it out , definitely coming back !!! ok the reviews had me scared however, I actually see people going into this place DAILY . I tried for myself and got a chicken sandwich combo and tenders with fries(21$) The guy in front was very nice and polite and the wife was the cook. From the menu I wasn't expecting much and with them being across from the shipyard don't expect huge portions - their clientele are working 10 hours shifts with 30min lunches lol ? . However the portion should fill you up decent . My food was made to order which I appreciated , had I not wanted to wait I would've called it in. Clean but dated environment but again their clientele is ship yard so people aren't eating inside. Again food is GREAT ??“

“I usually call ahead so when I go on lunch I can just grab it, pay, and go. Even if I don't call ahead of time the food is made quickly and tastes fine. $10 for a bacon cheeseburger with a decent amount of fries and a canned drink is honestly the best deal you'll get around here as a shipyard worker, at least in my opinion. They aren't rude, as some other reviews have said, they're just blunt. And I respect that. All in all 4/5 stars and I'll continue to eat here.“

“Excellent service. Amazing short order food. Get hash browns on your breakfast sandwich; it’s a game changer.“

“Good food. pool tables and fun times“

“Just tried this place out for the first time. My burger was fantastic, and they had one of my favorite brews on tap. Wide variety of beers to choose from on their beer tap wall. I’m looking forward to making this one of my favorite hangouts in Newport News.“

“The food is great and so are the people who work there. It’s busy all of the time and that’s a good thing! The only issue I saw and did not like was a cook came to the front with rubber gloves on b“

She was Professional, accommodating, and served us great food in a timely manner so that we could make it to the theater in time. The Food was excellent! The chefs did a great job! I had the seafood pasta. A dish that is creamy, fresh, and delicious. All the other food was also very good. We are definitely coming back to take it all in when my family and I are not rushing to another engagement. I definitely recommend going to this place.“

“Before COVID invaded our world, my wife and I routinely stayed at the Smithfield Inn for New Years Eve. The Wharf Hill Brewing Company, just down the street puts on a PIG drop countdown for New Years that is attended by several of the residents and those of us who discovered it years ago. The Wharf Hill Restaurant super good food as has the Smithfield Inn on past occasions. This year we returned for the first time since 2019 due in part to COVID and family health issues since that time. This time, as in the past we reserved seats for dinner. OMG, the food was out of this world this time. Their New Chef, Chef Gary, is fantastic. The entrees on offer were incredible to begin with, everyone eating that night were all a buzz with how good the food was, from a Rockfish Wellington, at the next table to the salmon dish at the next. We had our classic ritual prime rib that in and of itself was very good to the vegetables and roasted garlic and goat milk cheese mashed potatoes that made my mouth exploded with deliciousness, and me experiencing joy. Chef Gary has instituted a Sunday Brunch now and we'll be going soon. You should give this place a shot. You'll not be disapointed in your stay of a well kept historical inn and at the restaurant and bar downstairs. Go and enjoy yourselves.“

“went there last night for the first time for some drinks and food.. I've lived in the. neighborhood for a year and wish I would have checked this place out sooner..loved it“

“I’m from up north and had only been to a Waffle House while driving down to FL (typical NJ family tradition lol). Now that I live so close to one, I love being able to truly enjoy the atmosphere. The waitresses are always a delight and will keep you smiling. I stop by every so often during walks with my son. He has slept in here and also been in the restaurant smiling the whole time too. I love it.
Recently I got a burger with waffles on the side and when I came home, I used the waffles as a bun for the burger and omg… totally worth it. I’ll have to get a picture next time!“

“We made plans for our anniversary to stay at the Smithfield Inn and Restaurant. The new owner was very friendly and could not do enough to made our anniversary a happy occasion. The meal was excellent and our room was very cozy with fireplace and seating area separate from the bedroom. It was very clean and quiet. Then to top it off we were given breakfast coupons for the near by Gourmet Bakery. The bakery was also excellent. We would stay there again and longer to enjoy the cute small downtown shops. Be back soon!“

“love this place, great staff, manager always has great attitude. They have a loyal customer 4 times a week.“

“Shyanne was our server she was amazing. I ordered the prime rib med rare was perfect. My husband had the fried shrimp and ribeye both were awesome. First time there won’t be our last visit.“

“Not gonna lie, thought it was going to be hoodish, but the cooks where hustling as well as the waitresses. Cliental, well remember you are not down by the pier and shizz, but it was an atmosphere of blue collar families enjoying food made by blue collar workers!! Clean as well....“

“The service and food was impeccable! I thoroughly enjoyed myself!“

“A peaceful place to enjoy a delicious well made breakfast with friendly and attentive service. It is my dining sanctuary in such a very busy and stressed out city.“

“We celebrated my sister's birthday last night at Texas Roadhouse and had the best experience ever! Sydney was our waitress and she was absolutely phenomenal! Her mannerisms, her kindness, her attention to detail, everything...she was AMAZING! She even assisted my 69-year-old sister with getting on the saddle to be recognized for her special day. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were outstanding! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. We will be back and will definitely ask for Sydney!“
