37 Best American Restaurants in Eau Claire

“Great location, great atmosphere. I’ve visited EC several times and have always wanted to come. On a weekend morning, there weren’t many servers, and although the restaurant wasn’t crowded, it still felt quite busy. I ordered brunch and a Margherita pizza. The food was delicious, but there were a few flaws, like the eggs Benedict being overcooked, with no runny yolk at all.“

“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.“

“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! 🥰“

“This morning June 23r, I ordered 8croissants with some having hash browns and some with pancakes. After I am about to hang up the phone, the lady kindly asked for 15 min, that shocked me because that is FAST for 8 meals!! I get there not even 5minutes after I hang up because I was already on the way bringing the food to my coworkers at our place of work, within 5 minutes or less already they were almost done with my order on top of being in the middle of breakfast rush. Extremely fast service from these guys, and we are very grateful. We will always be coming back for more. 11/10 for service!!!!! On top of HUGE portions, our pancakes barely fit in a box that was atleast a 1ftx1ft, on top of loaded hashbrowns. Great portions, extremely friendly staff, incredible service, and faster than any other restaurant I’ve been to.“

“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.“

“Best Bread pudding ever. Quiche was baked to perfection.“

“The most amazing service and comfy casual atmosphere. Staff is always friendly and attentive even at their busiest times. Food is great: a big variety and they know how to cook their steaks!!! One of my favorite go-to’s!!“

“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!“

“very good service, great food and reasonable prices, cheaper than McDonald's,“

“Katie, Thank you so much for assisting us with hosting my retirement party there on 11/15/24. The food was excellent, beautifully presented and with your assistance we had the right amount. The room had the perfect setup allowing for ease at getting food and drinks. Our bartender Hannah was great!!“

“Always Great Food and Atmosphere. My wife's Family grew up with the owners family, in the same neighborhood. The Roast beef is the Best ever. Do not miss it if you are in the area.👍😊👌“

“Thank you to Bijou Bistro for catering our outdoor wedding this last weekend, we have nothing but great things to say! The food was delicious, it was displayed beautifully, there was plenty to go around, and our guests all raved. Chef Tony was a pleasure to work with, we highly recommend him.“

“I have done meal prepping for years. I am always on the hunt for somewhere that not only has macro friendly meal prep options but also options that aren’t the same old boring chicken and veggie meal. Midwest meals has creative meals that taste amazing and meet my macro goals. And they deliver!!!! A great big thank you to the team for this service as I don’t have to spend a day meal prepping anymore. When that box comes in the mail each week, I know I have it covered.“

“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!“

“Best kids meal ever! Entree, 2 sides, free drink, soft serve ice cream, and a frisbee to take home (the meal is served on a frisbee), all for 6.99. Such a good deal.“

“Great course, great restaurant & an even better staff. You will love it.“

“We enjoy the bands and the oldies on Sunday.“

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

“My daughter and I recently visited for drinks and an early dinner. Our bartender, Alicia, made great drinks and was very friendly. The cheese curds and mushrooms had a fantastic breading. The prime rib and ribeye were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. We are not from the area but would certainly return to 4 Mile and will refer anyone who is looking for a great place for dinner in the EauClaire area.“

“Amazing burgers and deep fried pickles! We will definitely be back again!“

“I can't rave enough about the bangers we got! Stupid good! Good drinks, great setup with tiki bar and batting cages, v-ball courts and baseball field, pull tabs and slots... Service was on point. The only reason I didn't 5 star the "atmosphere" was it was too hot inside, ac wasn't on or what and we were sweating. Also it must've been karaoke day cause the drunk dude was singing every song!! Funny!!
5/5 100% would recommend and will stop again if I'm close! Oh yeah... exceptional value!! $12 super sandwich and super reasonable cocktails!!

Parking: Parking shouldn't be a problem here. Plenty!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, wide doors easy for wheelchairs.“

“We had the absolute best time here today for lunch. The waitress was awesome she took her time to answer all our silly questions and when our food was not right she did not hesitate to get it fixed. She was great. Thank you Payton“

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

“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.“

“I'm from Milwaukee and have high standards for food. these last few years have been a challenge in finding good restaurants. EC, check this place out! I've never been disappointed. from packer games to take out, everything I've had has been delicious. You are a go to for me! Try the Cuban or the Nashville hot, which the bartender recommended today. IMO, fantastic and reasonable prices. Please give my respect to the bartender. He is amazing!“

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

“absolutely terrible experience other then the waitress was great. the smoked wings were old and just thrown into a deep fryer and cooked until they were dry as chalk and hard as a rock, then the combo for 2 arrived and everything was cold and dried out. the first time we tried to eat there a week ago we stood at the entrance and waited 15 minutes and no one came to seat us, while waiting there was 2 other ppl that were waiting to pay their bill. gave it a second try and was completely a waste of 75.00 DO NOT GO HERE!“

“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“

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

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

“The atmosphere was nice.. it wasn't very busy when we got there.. our waitress was nice but was very busy training a new person plus doing alot of tables.. the food was ok.. my burger was not well done like I asked and the bun seemed a bit stale“

“Very clean and quiet and friendly great service at the restaurant was a great night!“

“Our waitress was fantastic & recommended the spicy ranch with the pickle cheese curds which was so good & the Philly calzone was delish & no joke was GIANT! My husband & I could've definitely split one, but we both had half a calzone left for lunch the next day. Great experience & we will definitely be back for another huge calzone!“
