50 Best American Restaurants near Bristol

“Great Place to hangout, enjoy good food and a cold drink.“

“It's been awhile since we had visited Red Oak and we had a delightful return to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. We each had a cocktail - the Red Oak Paloma for me and the Kinnickinnic Sour for Spouse. Both were delicious and refreshing. I had the Roasted Chicken with Pumpkin Puree & Risotto, and Spouse had the Butternut Squash with Quinoa Stuffing. Both were delicious and well prepared. We will look forward to returning more often.“

“Don’t let the location fool you! This diner is wonderful! My skillet had farm fresh eggs, substituted potatoes for hash browns, cheddar cheese and delicious fresh rye toast. Blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes were great and you don’t get a friendlier server! An absolute must at Silver Lake!“

“Love El Camino - food is great, margaritas are the best and Nicole is a fabulous server! We ask for her whenever we come in!“

“This place was a random pick and we LOVED IT. All the employees were super sweet and the food was amazing.“

“My husband and I have enjoyed our dinners here for 45 years. Similar menu and same receipes. We celebrated our wedding rehearsal dinner here. Our favorite restaurant for our anniversary and birthdays, the best restaurant for Friday fish fry in the state of Wisconsin!“

“So on 11-8-24 was our first time at Michael’s. I’m so happy that I came across this restaurant. The staff, drinks, food, and atmosphere were phenomenal. This place is a must to visit. I know we will be going back soon. Kudos to Michael and his staff.“

“They just completed my mom's after funeral party.. the food was fantastic, the service was fantastic.. They knocked it out of the park... We saw the message on the Electronic sign... that was great... THANK YOU !!!!“

“Fish fry was the best I've had in a while!VERY VERY BUSY!! Staff was great but service was kinda slow due to the amount of customers. Our experience was positive and we will go back. We will try to get there early next time! Things are tough all over but I thought they did a great job.“

“Parking is a hassle. BUT this place is so clean and the water is not too cold or dirty. It was our 1st time there and will definitely be coming back. I’m from Chicago and don’t really like going to our lake but we all had so much fun. There were a lot of lifeguards around, which gives you some comfort.“

“Food was good, House beer was great, management handling of a drunk acting like an a-hole was excellent, Jackie's customer service was amazing. Full send that recommend“

Theres a hostess there named Melissa who is absolutely wonderful and nice and made me feel extra comfortable gaming there . Shes always checking how people are doing and always make sure people have refreshments. Would defintly recommend this place !“

“We came from WI to see a show at the Genesse in Waukegan. We searched google for area restaurants and Wadsworth Inn looked appealing. We selected to sit outside on the balcony since it was a beautiful evening. Our server was Tricia and she was incredible. She gave us time to order, made excellent recommendations, and friendly and professional.
Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and equally delicious. My husband raved about the salmon and risotto being perfection, and the red snapper tacos were so flavorful! Thank you for a great date night dining experience!“

“Really enjoyed our visit to MBC. Our bartender, Christian, was spot on. She answered my many questions quickly and correctly. A small mix-up in my order was remedied immediately. Good draft selection. (32 0z. option, mmm). Cheese curd sampler outstanding. The two of us almost couldn't eat more. Glad we did, though. Double patty smash burger, yummy. Three bacon choices, yummy. (Think large Steak and Shake, but GOOD). Fresh cut fries, battered fries, and tons of menu choices. Will be back.“

“They have Parking for semi truck drivers. we need more Culvers that are trucker friendly“

“This store frequently has very slow service, even during off-peak times. Possibly short-staffed? Other fast food restaurants in this area seem to have same problem so not just Culver's. Food is always good quality and staff is nice. Just slower than normal for a Culver's. Waited for about 15 mins for a simple order from drive thru; single cheeseburger, fries and a drink; nothing out of the ordinary.“

“Great food, but Not Sure For a Quick Lunch
We were driving down 173 the other day, saw their sign and tried them out for lunch. You enter into a fairly large dining room with many tables. To the left is a large bar. There was one other couple and two groups of 6-8 seniors having lunch. We later saw that the seniors were bridge players and started playing cards after lunch. Only one server/hostess was working and she worked hard. She took our drink order, ice water for me and fresh brewed Iced Tea ($3.00) for my wife. We then took to studying the expansive menu. It is just like the menu at Dockers down in Fox Lake. You name it, they have it. We see our server refilling drinks for the other diners, bringing out some appetizers, etc. and finally taking our food order. We were in no rush and just sat and talked. Then we saw our server bringing meals out to people that were there way before we got there. Not a good sign as there was another large group still to get their meals in front of us. Our drinks got refilled and we sat some more. Our food finally arrived after an easy half hour, maybe longer. She did explain that it was only her and the cook so that's what took so long. The meals were worth the wait. My wife had the Dockers Style Marinated Chicken Plate ($15.99) with fresh fruit. A warm pita was topped with a juicy and tasty Greek seasoned chicken with a side Greek salad and several slices of fresh fruit. I had the Grecian Salad with Chicken ($15.99). Prior to bringing out our meals, our server asked if I like anchovies on my Greek salad - I sure do and she loaded me up. The salad was composed of plenty of the usual Greek salad ingredients and a very tasty dressing. This could easily be shared. Our meals were excellent, fresh and flavorful! Everything we saw go by looked delicious and we would go back again if we were in the area, just not if we're pressed for time.“

“Vegetarian options: Mostly only salads.

Parking: They have handicap stops, also across street is larger lot (walmart) if lot is ful

Kid-friendliness: They always have kids. It's a family restaurant they also have kid meals.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps on both sides to get a wheel chair into building.“

“Definitely worth the few extra minutes driving up here from Round Lake. I showed up on Thursday to find out they’ve got an all you can eat taco special 👀 I gotta roll myself out to my car after this. Don’t let the previous rough construction out front fool you, this place is gold. I had the steak and chorizo tacos that were superb. Mango margarita slapped 👏🏻“

“Burgers are excellent! Love the Hot mess.. Service is Excellent! If you havn't been.. GO.“

“A Sweet sauce,great cheese, solid Italian sausage and good crust. A solid pizza. A 7.1 rating out of 10. They had really good service as well. Very friendly.“

“First time here. Really great food and the staff are very friendly! Will definitely come back when I’m up this way again!“

“Went with a group of 9 people; called just ~30 minutes ahead and they were happy to accomodate us. The food was way better (and more diverse) than it had any right to be, and our guy Nick was one of the best servers I've ever had. Awesome attitude for being the only guy on shift for th edining room, took awesome care of us, joked around, nailed it. Would definitely return, especially if Nick picked up the phone.

Vegetarian options: I had about 3lbs of kimchi hummus with heirloom veggies and it was freaking awesome, as were the pickle fries.

Dietary restrictions: Shared frier so GF friends cannot have fried things, but our GF friend was well taken care of.“

“always a great experience when we have Lakes. fresh and delicious food & friendly helpful staff!“

“Reflections is one of the last of its kind! Highly recommend the fish fry on fridays, prime rib on saturdays. Their specials are on point and so is the Polish selections. We love the Polish pickle soup, and the desert tray is amazing. If you're lucky you'll see the owner playing the accordion!“

“Have been going here since it has opened...friendly staff, great meals, and new friendships made! I highly recommend it!“

“fun times and good people.“

“I was there on a Friday at the start of the dinner hour so it was pretty busy. The only thing that suffered was the service but even that wasn't horrible. I truly enjoy this restaurant and it's atmosphere .

Parking: Parking can be somewhat limited during the lunch and dinner rush but the turn-over rate is pretty quick.“

“delicious and Jamie the bar tender is so good“

“Did some stuff this weekend. This place? Hell yea.“

“Went there tonight and though it was booked the manager Loretta made accommodations for us. The food was great and the atmosphere was as well. Very nice staff and though Sunday is a busy day we were not neglected. We had a tornado warning in the area and they took the time to explain to us what the next steps were in the event of another warning or a possible touchdown. Captain Porky’s has always been a staple of mine and now the shanty will be on my short list as well. Thank you guys !see you again soon.“

“Thursday Jam Towne Square Hosted by Lightning George Lebangood & Friends“

“The food and atmosphere is great. The service was a little frantic when the kitchen was busy at some point. The only complaint I have is, I waited for about 20 minutes to be brought my check only to be told it's all taken care of with the little tablet on my table. That was a little annoying.“

“Amazing place! Family friendly, so much to do and everyone is extremely friendly.“

“Hosted daughters baptism party upstairs. The Food was great and staff was even better. I highly recommend them if you’re passing through down town Antioch!“

“Always a good time here, good service, and delicious food.“

“Awesome place friendly staff and people great food 😀 👍“

“The food was good, to ok. Tried something I had never had before. Not something I will order again. However, the service was outstanding. The waitstaff made a good experience wonderful. Checked a number of times on my needs. Was quick to take care of my "needs". She set the tone of my meal at our first interaction. I would let you her name but I did not commit it to memory. My bad. Do not hesitate to stop for a memorable meal.“

“Great little spot to stop and get some good food. You can get it to go or they have tables outside you can eat. Very friendly people working there. I had Chicago-style hot dogs and the girlfriend had a Italian beef. Will definitely be back. I ate my food so fast I was unable to take pictures sorry.“
