50 Best American Restaurants near Elkhorn

“The food was some of the best I've had in Walworth County. I Understand that it was 12:30pm on a Saturday and they were extremely busy but it was so noisy that you couldn't have a conversation. Staff was very pleasant. I will be returning but will select off-peak hours for my visit.“

“breakfast is delicious! Definitely recommend“

“While the food is good and the people are grand, the main reason I go to this store is one man, Kevin. He is the manager of this location and he ROCKS MY WORLD!!! He serves the creamiest custard and freshest meat. His service is beyond compare and leaves me quivering every time. Mmmm.“

“Best restaurant in the area, amazing service and hospitality, favorite family dinner place.“

“Wait time, no problem. (30 min) Chilled @ the lake front. Old Fashioned was made perfect. Ribs was perfect. Superb! Generous portions. Hostess was so pleasant. Waitress Michaela was so sweet and attentive. Loved how ise away from the busyness of Lake Geneva. We'll be back - coming for the fish fry.“

“Chef Kim Buyse delivers insanely beautiful flavors, stunning plating, and perfect execution in the seven course offering. What he is creating is special and I cannot wait to see him continue to develop his voice through his food in the months and seasons to come. This may be the blossoming of a new center of haute cuisine in the Midwest, and the potential to be Michelin-star worthy down the line. I can't wait to come back!“

“eggs were very runny, pancakes were uncooked and doughy and the country fried steak was over cooked/burnt taste like dirt. strawberries were old in the fruit bowl and in the mimosa. waitress must have been hung over not very friendly 🙄 1☆-good luck!“

“**Review: A Delightful Friday Night at the East Troy House** I recently had the pleasure of dining at the East Troy House on a busy Friday night with Freckles the Elf (aka Alice Wilson/Ginger Whimsy), who was preparing for her performance at the East Troy Lights. With our tight schedule, we needed a fast and satisfying meal. The ultra-attentive staff ensured we were taken care of, making sure our meal was timely yet never rushed. The food was perfectly prepared, exemplifying why the East Troy House is a beloved favorite for many. It's clear that their commitment to quality and customer service sets them apart. Our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I highly recommend East Troy House for anyone seeking delicious food and top-notch service. 🥂🍴“

“Fabulous experience, food and service! Everyone works so hard to deliver spectacular food!“

“We attended the Hypnotized event on Saturday and it was so much fun. The event space is large and the tables are well spaced so you don’t feel crowded. There are 2 bars and bathrooms. The food was better than expected given the size of the event. The band was great and there was room up front to dance…which we did the entire time. It was the perfect way to celebrate our birthdays! We highly recommend Pier 290.“

“We had a group of 8 people celebrating a 70th Birthday on Friday June 11th. We couldn’t of asked for better service then Parker B! He was amazing and needs to be commended for his amazing service and great attitude! Thank you Parker for making our night even better because of you !👏🏻👊🏻🥰“

“This family is outstanding!! They all work together and they actually smile and laugh!! Their products are A1 rated and their kindness and willingness to help others is extremely refreshing😁!! It would be very challenging to compete with this retro landmark.

Stay tuned for the complete video at Menzies Productions on You Tube.“

“I recommend staying at Snug Harbor; However, if you’re a tent camper stay far away from site Snapper 7a and 7b. This camp site shouldn’t even be a site. Other than that, it has a nice little beach and a great pub for drinks and food when you’re hungry.“

“all employees were very nice very very patient ++“

“Fabulous ....... Was there for dinner during SoberFest 2025 on Satur evening. Manager Brain is great, funny and actually noticed he gets his hands dirty and helps out with tables assisting servers. We had no reservation and he got us a table without issue. Our server KatieN was fabulous as well.
And to top it all off they opened the buffet early and what a fabulous deal price wise, great selection & choices for food. I took advantage of the all you can eat & everything was top notch & tasted great. Honestly, I'm not a big buffet fan but I would Never hesitate to do the buffet here and for what you get it is priced Very fairly. Hats off to everyone from top to bottom at the Grand Cafe, job well done“

“Pirates Cove is a great place to hang out, grab a few drinks, eat some great food, play some pool and sing karaoke“

“This was our third time eating here and each time it was great food and wonderful experience. More should enjoy this“

“We recently visited the store and bought, among other things, the artichoke chicken and kale casserole. We heated it up - it's all pre-cooked - and enjoyed it for dinner a couple days later. We couldn't be happier. It had plenty of nice-sized well cooked chicken, plenty of artichokes and pasta. The taste was excellent. We are seniors, so the serving size was not only plenty for the 2 of us, I had leftovers for the next day's lunch. Thanks, Thyme. We'll be back and we encourage everyone to try their offerings.“

“We had the best breakfast. Yolanda was great and the staff. I had the best ever blueberry crepes. I’ve never had one so good. My husband enjoyed it as well. Thank you.“

Small good coleslaw or crispy French fries. Service was the best. Attentive and very friendly. Clean cool and pleasant inside“

“Out on a friend’s boat, and stopped for drinks and snacks. Service was good. Drinks were good. Food is typical bar stuff- made from frozen. Had some pizza and wings and taco bites. Prices fair. Has a couple of docks that fill up pretty quick, so some folks have to float around in the water while waiting for a chance to tie up, but it all works out. Music playing, darts, and cornhole. Lively atmosphere.“

“Small place but very cozy. Fantastic service from step one! We ordered a lot of food and dessert- Tiramisu ( and I I am a huge fan! ( I ate a lot :-) believe me - many times in Italy) and everything was great and very tasty. We travel a lot and we can high recommend this place in LG! Thank you!“

“My family and I had an absolute wonderful experience at Popeyes this evening! We shared the crab Rangoon dip and it did not disappoint. I had all you can eat cod and it was amazing! The 2 older kids had all you can eat tenders, my 4 year old had a cheeseburger and my mom had the Fishermans Basket. All items were incredible and eaten in full. The decor was fun, the staff was insanely friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. It's a huge place with valet parking in the back. If I lived nearby, I would go at least once a month! Definitely stop in!!!!“
