50 Best American Restaurants near Altoona

“I have been going to Altoona family for years over a decade at least and when my son was in an accident in 2022 the owners made sure we were taken care of when we ate there, special pancakes with sprinkles and whip cream. Now today I went there with my son and I ordered my usual and the owner paid for my meal.. This restaurant surely is amazing and all over the best family restaurant in our area and Im not just saying this because of a free meal. Everytime I go there she (the owner ) is always talking to me asking me how I am doing just like a family catching up, plus the service great food and prices is why I will continue to go back time and time again and support such an amazing family! thank you for all that you and your staff do!“

“Great food and the best service I’ve had in a while. The servers were great and the guy who brought me my food was very nice. Overall had a great experience!“

“Great food, friendly staff. Small issue with my order, but they immediately made it up to me without me even saying anything.

I got the chicken tacos, which were fantastic. Ordered carryout, so the food in the attached photo probably comes out even better when you get it at the restaurant.

Would definitely eat here again if I'm ever back in Eau Claire.“

“They have absolutely amazing food. Tristen & Erin went above and beyond with my door dash order. Everything is fresh and hot and absolutely delicious. Come visit this lovely establishment ♥️“

“The best bar, but wish they had fans in the bar. It gets way to hot in there. Need it cool due to my asthma and copd. Would be much appreciated“

“Awesome meals! Very affordable! Haven’t had a bad thing here ever! The staff are amazing as well!“

“My mornings as of late have been spent reflecting on all I'm grateful for. Not due to any holiday traditions or faith or that, but just to simply go over the details and experience in microdosing all the new people Ive met, the new places Im walking, the new days Im waking up to sunshine and a smile. That time has been spent at this AWESOME (not so little) WONDERFULLY FRIENDLY and DELICIOUS Cafe for Breakfast and Brunch called The Nucleus ⚛ Their staff is unbelieveably polite, considerate and lgbtqii+ inclusive all around! This has been a place Ive only started in but I already feel its now a regular haunt and a spot if you're in the area cant be missed if you want to get up on the right piece of toast~ [ALSO: Vegan Options!!] Take a morning and treat yo self. Go to: The Nucleus⚛ Eau Claire, WI.“

“I come to Culver’s pretty much every week, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh and tastes great every time I go. The place has a really chill, relaxed vibe, which makes it a nice spot to hang out with friends or just grab a quick meal. Overall, it’s super consistent and definitely one of my favorite places to eat with my friends.“

“Amazing Friday fish fry. The homemade tartar sauce was outstanding as well as the coleslaw. Definitely 10/10!!!“

“Just used the drive thru and it was quicker than any other Culvers locations I have been to. With the quick service you would expect sloppy burgers and old fries. But that was not the case. Everything was fresh and well put together. Will be going to this location again.“

“Thank you to the amazing staff at Culver’s tonight!!! I went through the drive-up and ordered my food and realized I didn’t have my wallet. I asked the employee at the window if he could put my order on hold while I ran home and got it. He told me “No”. He grabbed one of his coworkers and they told me not to worry about it. I offered to call with my card when I got home or to come pay for it tomorrow and they told me they were taking care of it! Being the crazy world it is right now, they were wearing masks so I couldn’t see their faces to remember who they were... but I saw the kindness they showed me and that is something I will remember! 🥰“

“We are regularly at Randy's, about every Friday you'll find us there. We have never had a bad meal,always plenty of food and the prices are very fair. The wait staff are always friendly, our food comes out fast. I would definitely recommend Randy's for a good meal, breakfast, lunch,and dinner all good.“

“We celebrated a graduation at Hangar 54 this past weekend. They were so accommodating, the food was great and wonderful atmosphere!! Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I are new members of Midwest Meals. I was a bit hesitant at first but I’m so happy I tried them. We’ve been ordering from them for two weeks now, both pick up and delivery. The service is wonderful (very friendly and helpful folks), the food is really good and very fresh and they even offer home delivery at a very affordable price! I’ve even lost six pounds in these two weeks just by replacing my lunch with one of their meals! I highly recommend this place!“

“I was so impressed by the staff here! We just left after a very hectic early morning Packer game and I was just so impressed by how amazing the service was! Despite the large crowd they were attentive, fast and so welcoming. It seemed like they all genuinely enjoyed it all when it would have been easy to feel overwhelmed. Plus the food and Bloody Mary’s were delicious! 10/10 would recommend for a game or just a few drinks! Will be back!“

“PV has great burgers of the month and the chef with the long hair is a maestro“

“We were in here tonight for supper. Our waitress Riana was excellent. She made sure the food and drinks we ordered were choice not food allergies. I am sure on this snowy night they would have rather been home but Riana was friendly and cheerful. The food was great as always but service stood above that. Thanks.“

“Absolutely amazing! Staff and food! Highly recommend!“

“uses AI and thinks they can lie about it👎“

“We stopped in last night after a sporting event, the female bartender was friendly. The food was great! We had burgers and fries, good flavor. The bun was toasted, we also had cheese curds, we got a good amount. We didn’t think anything was greasy. I complimented the cook and he said he was new, but the bartender was helping out. They both did great, would come back! Sorry no pictures.“

“Great Service too! Love going to the Fox Run!“

“A really great dining experience. We went for Sunday brunch and loved the food, he service and the atmosphere. The “Brunch Burger” I ordered came with delicious breakfast potatoes and delicious homemade bread toasted perfectly! Would 100% recommend!“

“The food was just amazing and the Server was very respectful. I had a great experience here. I had a smash burger and the taste was over all an amazing blend. I also had a sundae and nice combination at that, Carmel chocolate and whipped topping. The server Zach was a well mannered guy. Will be coming again. ❤️“

“The seasoning is overpowering. It's not a place for older adults who need to limit their salt intake.“

“Nothing like seeing a manager walk from the building to his car with a case of beer while trying to go through the drive thru 🤣 classy arbys, classy“

“I've never had a good experience at this restaurant. haven't been here in years. I decided to swing in for a quick salad after my workout. I got there at 12:50 PM on a Tuesday. I was able to order right away, I didn't order a beverage. At 1:00 the couple behind me sat down, at 1:05 the couple behind me ordered. At 1:10 the couple behind me got their order(S) I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and was solo. I had other oligations going on I had to get to, I figured it wouldn't take that long for a chicken salad. As I got to the festival foods doors, The manager came out of famous Dave's and yelled, "Don't you want your food?" 😂 ....Yeah I sure did but not 40 minutes later sorry not sorry. Thanks for nothing!“

“First time customer here. Excellent entree—Gorgonzola penne with peppers.Great staff!“

“Friendly service but did seem a bit frazzled/made some mistakes with our order but resolved them quickly. Appetizer came out pretty quickly, food was decent (ordered off the dinner menu - avoid their IHOP menu!). Steak was cooked perfectly to order and had good flavor, chicken was a bit overcooked and didn't come out sizzling like the steak. Overall a pretty good chain-resturant experience, just seriously avoid the breakfast menu at this location because it sucks (have ordered it here before and was super disappointed). Seemed like other tables around us that ordered IHOP menu items had issues with their orders.“

“I came up from Madison to see Kat and the Hats. Amazing entertainment, drinks and friendly staff! Highly recommend!“

“The burgers are excellent! We had our 2 and 5 year olds with us and they accommodated them well. Great service and staff!“

“Best staff and food. Luke is the best.“

“Grandson and I had an amazing time today! Great service and food.“
