47 Best American Restaurants near Hamilton

“My first time here, but this is the best place I’ve eaten in a very, very long time. My family of 4 Adults and four little children all had a great Dinner here. The service was fantastic even though they were down to one Chef, one waitress and one bartender. If this were American Idol, I’d hit the Golden Buzzer. By the way, aside from the great Dinners, the Fiery Mussels were to die for. Best I’ve ever had and I’ve had plenty of them.….. to include famous Berthas at Fels Point, in Baltimore.“

“A must Excellent breakfast today, staff friendly, menu delectable, best Americano I've ever had!“

“Celebrated our daughter's birthday and staff were all wonderful. Always make us feel like we're being welcomed like old friends and it's very much appreciated. Food and cocktails were also excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening and looking forward to next visit.“

“This was one of our best dining experiences recently. The food is beyond amazing! It’s the best pulled pork I’ve ever had, hands down! The service was great. Our server was very friendly. The owner was very social with us and welcoming to our 3 kids. He even gave them a quick “kitchen tour.” We will definitely go back, and if you haven’t been there yet you’re missing out!“

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.“

“It can be a little loud, but it is a pub. Breakfast is basic but good. Service was excellent, friendly, and timely. Definitely will go back again.

Kid-friendliness: Breakfast in lunch would be great times for kids. Although we have done dinner and taken a child. Later in the day it can be distracting and loud and kid's kind of feed off that.“

“Good food as always. Our server Jordan was perfect!“

“Great meal at The Conche. We did the three course wine pairing and it was excellent. Salvador, our waiter was very knowledgeable and welcoming. Nice atmosphere and good vibe.“

“I recommend everything. Mostly the rack of ribs. The Best ever!!I will be back“

“The staff is friendly and attentive! Love that. Always great music. Food is delicious. Atmosphere very welcoming.“

“Thank you to 1836 for hosting our party of 20 for a Work Holiday Luncheon. Joe met with me beforehand to set the menu and was kind enough to accommodate our request of a dinner menu for lunch with steaks, salmon and a desert. We were able to place our orders ahead of time. The chef accommodated a gluten allergy for both the entree as well as the desert. When we arrived, Ashley, our server, had tables all setup for us, took our drink orders and began serving food. It was a 5-star experience and I highly recommend 1836 for your holiday parties or work events.“

“Beautiful rural town with friendly neighborhoods and small businesses. Community spirit abounds!“

“Nice little spot. It's not fancy by any means, but it was exactly what we were looking for. Good food, good prices and a good menu selection. Server was very nice. Only real complaint was my husband asked for over medium eggs and got over easy and I asked for scrambled and they were cooked a little longer than I like.“

“Good food, good music, good service, great atmosphere. What more does one need?“

“Delicious and perfect date night atmosphere. This is our new go to place when we visit family in town!“

“we all loved our meals!! I had the Chinatown salad it was amazing!! 😋delicious“

“Fun clean good food kid friendly“

“Great rice and chicken platter and kabob. I love the white sauce as well! Their red sauce is quite spicy but I enjoy having a bit with the platter. There is seating inside and outside, both very clean. Parking lot can fit like 10 or so cars, but that usually isn't a problem because most people take their food and leave. I met the owner when I went in on my second time, and he was very nice. Overall I've had wondeful experiences both times I went, and I will be returning again!

Parking: Next to restaurant. About 10 spaces.“

“Great cocktails, food and friendly bartenders.“

“One of our very FAV restaurants for many reasons....1) the food is top notch, everything is made from scratch and is delicious! 2) the staff is so attentive, friendly and warm. 3) the ambiance is very cool and the outside patio is a nice addition. If you haven't tried Buford's you are missing out!“

“I will definitely be coming back. My buddy got wings and was pleased. I got the Chipotle smash burger. It was amazing. The bartender gave us the best service I've had in years. Wish I knew his name to give him a shout out. The only reason I gave the atmosphere 3 stars is because it's not much different than other sport type bars.“

“Great speakeasy vibe. Great cocktails. Great bartenders. What’s not to like?“

“First timers, was excellent food & service. Will definately return on our next visit to Leesburg.“

“Great Mozz sticks! Amazing thin crust pizza as well!“

“Great food unbelievable staff. This is a Leesburg treasure!!!!!“

“Wonderful place and people. Always good food and atmosphere.“

“Absolutely fantastic food. The entire meal was an experience and one that I will not forget. Chef Jason personally checks in with every table throughout the dinner service.“

“We love this club so much. Not only is it a gorgeous setting to play golf, but we have met some of the nicest people there who will be our lifelong friends.“

The restaurant list it closes at 9PM. As a courtesy we called at 820p and said we were arriving in 10 to 15 mins as we spoke with Alley the host. We arrive at 833p. The host Alley proceeds to sit us down to eat. The owner yells that they close the kitchen at 830PM. He doesn't look at us as guest or acknowledge us but instead tells Alley the stop at 830pm. I asked if he was the manager he said he was the owner. It really shows n this situation how the owner handles himself. If you could get a zero star he would get it. With over 500 reviews I rarely give a 1 star but this year it goes to the owner of this restaurant. My fair and honest reviews speak for themselves. As a business owner myself in the service industry as well as I use to own 4 food franchises owners should realize their word and communication is the most valuable asset. If a team if a team memmber promises something then the owner should honor it. He didn't care. 0 Food: 1/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5“

“Delicious food. best burgers around! Eddie is a great guy who'll do whatever he needs to to ensure great service and satisfaction. will definitely keep returning here!!“

“I come for the wings with honey bourbon bbq sauce. Fun sports bar atmosphere with plenty of TV’s.“

“Best deep fried mushroom and chicken wings in downtown Leesburg.“

“I went into the Tavern because a man from the cafe next door was following me around and kept trying to get me to talk to him. I walked up to the bar, told the bartender, Matt, what was going on, and asked if I could hang out for a bit. He not only let me stay, but asked if I would like some water and asked me for a description of the man. Eventually, the man walked in and asked to sit next to me. Matt got him to sit on the other end of the bar. The man started taking pictures of random people, including me, so Matt asked him what he was doing and made him delete the photos he took of me and the other patrons. The man eventually left. I would have never expected so much help from someone in this situation, and I can't thank Matt enough for the help he provided. Fantastic service overall.“

“My first time but definitely not the last. We enjoyed the food, the music and the excellent service of Cristina and Ben. I'm from Puerto Rico and truly came to a bit of culture and boricua cuisine. Strongly recommend the sampler and mojitos. We had alcapurrias and the flavor was amazing. Hint, big size alcapurria?? Don't leave without trying the mofongo and the tostones! Live music on Saturday night!“

“Yeah, it's a gas station and mini-mart, but much better than most! Huge food and drink selection, and I never thought I'd be trusting enough to buy fried fish from a gas station restaurant, but it's REALLY good and once you try it you'll go back.“

“Great Friday open mic, cool spot with friendly staff! Chicken tenders are hand-cut and breaded, too!“

“We enjoyed watching a couple of the evening matches with our dinner. Plenty of TVs no matter where you sit. I enjoyed a Rueben, and my son enjoyed a penne Alfredo with chicken. We’ll be happy to visit in the future as we come through town periodically.

Parking: Easy in & out shopping center parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Friendly to my kid“

“The vanilla latte was brought out in a very timely manner and in cute presentation with a small cookie. 10 minutes after we were brought our eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy, accompanied by the yogurt parfait which was quite delicious. Overall, the eggs Benedict was the highlight of the meal, followed by the fruit parfait, and the biscuits and gravy which did lack a bit of flavor, though it was filling. The booths were intimate and the atmosphere was perfect for an early Saturday morning.“

“Great food, great service, & a great selection of bourbon“

“The Local Cut is my families go to eatery in purcellville virginia. Food, staff and overall experience is always a 10/10! Thank you“

“Best quick burger in Northern Virginia!“

“Excellent meal this evening with family and friends in town. The food is fresh and cooked to order. Great service and wine as well!“

“Today service was not the best i have had in padt visits. No refills of water and coffee offered. I had to call on someone other than my server. No follow up check to see if I needed anything else. Disappointing.“

“Wings were good, including the velocity wings. Some sauces needed a little help in the flavor richness. Otherwise a good experience visiting for dinner. Staff are very friendly and attentive, restaurant was clean, well laid out and good menu selections.“

“I cannot explain how much of an amazing experience I had tonight at velocity. I have never had better wings in my life! Seriously! I really love wings and have had many at many different places, but this was BY FAR THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD! I was being very particular as always, and I wanted something that wasn’t quite on the menu, Ramon was so kind as to really help to get a VERY SPECIFIC flavor that suited me perfectly. I couldn’t believe how quickly and smoothly he received what I said and made something happen. It made for a unique and special experience! This guy deserves a medal!? A raise!? Idk you tell me but he absolutely deserves some recognition because I will never forget this first impression! Impressive service all around. The ladies that server us, kind, sweet, and lovely to speak with, the atmosphere was nice and I enjoyed the drinks as well! I got a Margarita and a bloody mary which I asked to be made spicy as well! And they delivered on that too! This place is epic. I couldn’t recommend it enough... Wow..“
