33 Best American Restaurants near Cross Plains

“Our seating was opposite of the bar near the entryway and the partition wall greatly isolated the bar racket. We ordered the NY strip and the slow roasted prime rib. Fries, scalloped potatoes, and chili were sides. The fries had been sitting long enough to be only warm, but I could tell when they were fresh they would have had a good subtle crisp. The scalloped potatoes and chili were great. The NY was seasoned well and was perfectly cooked to medium. The 24-hour slow roasted prime rib (Saturdays) was very tender, though the flavor could have been better. The aus jus saved it and was good. We decided to also order the desserts of a grasshopper (one of the best I've had) and cheesecake. This was house made pumpkin cheesecake and was of a generous portion. My wife and I would eat here again. We might have to come back sooner than expected for more chili! Keep an eye out for drunk townies. Some dude in his 60's with a group thought it was a good idea to quickly fake lunging out in front of my car as I was pulling in. It was 5pm. Bro, you gotta live long enough to get SSI and your AARP card. Be less stupid.“

“I had just started walking up with my girlfriend and the two gentlemen (one man being a nice man named Noah) had assisted me with the door since I had crutches. Above and beyond service, Noah even asked me if I needed anything after ordering. Fantastic service!“

“I would recommend Milwaukee Music Festival in the future and beyond. That would be awesome. I'll give you a 10/10.“

“Swung through for a late lunch with a small group and couldn’t have been more happy with the experience.

Comfy seating, quick service and delicious food. Patty melt was phenomenal as was the turkey avocado club sandwich, which featured a huge slice of house smoked turkey (not the usual soggy deli meat you find elsewhere).

Would visit again. Very excellent on every level.“

“We went to Buck & Honeys for brunch yesterday and it was FANTASTIC. The menu offered so many options, something for every craving! Our server John was so friendly and attentive! If you haven’t yet, give it a try! We can’t wait to go back!“

“Delicious food and inviting staff“

“10 group Bachelorette party, with a rushed time limit of 45 min. Jason and Hannah absolutely killed it! Great food, AMAZING service and did not make us feel bad one bit. Jason was great with educating us on the menu and even accommodating some diet restrictions. Thank you, we will be back!“

“I don't usually eat at Culver's but I was presently surprised at their salad selection. Their Strawberry Fields salad with chicken was a good portion and well-made.

The customer service is always excellent.

There is a large free parking lot.“

“I stopped in for the Wednesday Night Wing Special (10 wings for $10!!) and was NOT disappointed! I'm not usually a fan of smoked meat but they knocked it out of the park with these wings! The wings were a mix of drummies and wings and they were a lot larger than I expected based on the price! Such a great value!! They also have very fun and friendly staff, too!“

“This restaurant has become my favorite. In fact, I have taken guests there twice in the last week - and will do so again next week. Food, service and ambiance are all outstanding. While the Madison area generally caters to the casual diner, I find that Cooper's Hawk offers a “cut above” for those of us who also are comfortable adding a little extra class to our experience. In my several visits, friends have all tried different dishes - and raved about their selections. And we have enjoyed their wines as well. (One of my friends is even taking her family to their “Open Thanksgiving” following our visit). Whether for lunch or dinner, I have been equally impressed.“

“Stopped in for supper on Friday night. It was close to 8:30 by the time we got there. We both had the deep fried cod. It was outstanding !! Still had the salad bar full, fish was lightly breaded and great service as usual !! Great food and drinks. Highly recommend the prime rib on Saturday night as well. 😋😋“

“Staff was quick and friendly, patio was gorgeous, and the food was great- would highly recommend the Nashville hot chicken sandwich! Appreciated how attentive and pleasant our server was- especially on a hot and humid day for the patio! The manager was also lovely and came to check on us and others. Great place to get together with friends, go out with the fam, or stop in on your way home from work. Will be back!“

“10/28/23 After attending our our Grandson State Honors Concert stop in to eat. Great service and food. Group of 6 and all enjoyed our food.“

“Small diner in town offering a large selection of American breakfast and lunch items. Staff was welcoming and said we were welcome to sit wherever we liked. They have booster seats and high chairs available for small kids. Server quickly took our order and offered to answer any questions.

Ordered the fried cheese curds for an appetizer were delicious; how can you go wrong with fried cheese! While all our lunch entrees were large portions there was opportunity for improvement. The meat in my taco salad was overly salty; generally I like my food well salted but this was too much. My wives patty melt was the opposite; significantly under seasoned. Daughter’s Mac and cheese was just a big bowl of Kraft. Nothing wrong with that, it’s good Mac and cheese, just don’t expect a homemade version.“

“Had five plates to share for 2 couples. Everything was amazing!“

“Tanners Christmas Bar is open and awesome!! Get down here and spend some time!! Christmas drinks and great service with Brie, Jenna, and Chris!! Can't wait to get back in town and hang with these guys!! Let's not forget to mention Vanessa too! That's for making this my home while I'm in town!!“
