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.“

“Been coming for 20 years. Love the food and service!!! Clean the seating area up! Hodge podge okay, dirty no., especially in back area. Weeds and Dandelions growing through mulch, tables unwiped. Broken furniture, some furniture is needing a coat of paint.“

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

“First time here. food was delicious. They were very busy and we were still able to get our food quickly. Had the fish fry. So delicious. Highly recommend this place.“

“I've been here a couple of times for lunch. Sandwiches are good and plentiful. What I really want to talk about is the Tuesday night rib special. It consists of a very generous half rack of perfectly cooked, flavourful ribs, with a choice of Fries or baked potatoes and really good, creamy cole slaw. Jenny was a perfect server. I'm hoping telling everyone about this won't keep me from getting a seat the next Tuesday I head out there.“

“Would have been a five-star view except for one thing. They have great service, they have great food, and they have great staff...except for the lady named Kristen (I don't know the spelling but she is the older woman with glasses and brown hair). I came through the drive-thru after a long day of work and wanted to get a delicious meal. I went through the drive-thru and everything was going great until I informed them that if I pulled off to the side my ladders.on my truck would block everybody from getting through so I asked if I could just pull forward directly. Immediately the whole attitude changed and I was told I was in inconvenience and terrible customer and that next time I should park at the parking lot across the street and walk over to take takeout. Mind you I have done this at least five other times and there were zero issues in fact there was a spot for me to pull forward and not block everybody trying to drive through. I genuinely thought about not coming back to this location after that because I have never been treated so badly. I will be coming back, however if I see her face I will be asking for someone else to serve me.“

“Drove up to Wisconsin and ate lunch at Lakehouse. Awesome! I had the fish sandwich and my husband had the BLT. The portions are quite large! Great food and great service! We’ll be back!“

“Great Breakfast and luch spot. Dont miss it if youre traveling to Lake Geneva.“

“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!“

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

“Excellent Service, Excellent food and drinks!! Highly recommend, bring all your friends here!!!“

“The food is always good!! The staff is like family! Our favorite breakfast spot!“

“The perch was fantastic and the service was excellent.“

“A great, old school drive-in establishment with a wide food offering. I enjoy their gyros. The counter ordering and pickup gets a bit busy and a little confusing but the helpful staff do their best to make service fast and efficient. Last time I visited was during a cruise event featuring a large assortment of vintage and unique vehicles that filled that parking areas and spilled over to the field across the street. Loads of interesting vehicles were on display!“

“**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. 🥂🍴“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“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 !👏🏻👊🏻🥰“

“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.“

“Ordered pizza, hotdog, fries, shakes and everything was great. Lots to choose from on the menu.“

“shout out to Delavan Culver's drive-thru tonight! they had my two fish fries ready by the time I got to the window. no sitting on the other side and waiting after paying!!! Way to go!!“

“We’ve honestly never been to a bar/restaurant with such awesome service!! There were had lots of bartenders constantly walking around the bar asking if you needed anything refilling drinks and everyone was so happy and friendly!!! Great atmosphere and location!!!“

“Excellent food and dessert . Go for the food and stay for the view !“

“Great food at a great price. Definitely recommend for anyone in the area! The prime rib sandwich is a must get.“

“Best evet“

“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.“

“Delicious warm soft widgets, an amazing chocolate cherry flurry and super friendly more then accommodating staff to custom make to my taste 🍒“

“We always enjoy going to the Turf Smokehouse. The food is always good, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Peter makes the best mocktails for me and is always fun. We enjoyed having Vee as our server at our most recent visit. And of course, the view is beautiful.“

“Food and service were both excellent!“

“the food is really good, but the cooks took too long with my second order and messed it up 😔“

“Great food and service! Please clean the windows more as the view is the best asset. Outdoor seating would put us there more often!“

“First breakfast! Outstanding! If you like sausage gravy, you're in for a real tasty treat! Healthy portion and great taste. Highly recommended.“

“We stopped here for the first time and had the best breakfast of my life. It is as dramatic as it sounds! The Gypsy skillet was incredible! Service was amazing and just all around a great experience!“

“Service was great! Food was fantastic!“

“I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for making our intimate reception after our wedding vow renewal so special this past Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2026 at The Cove in Lake Geneva Wisconsin. From start to finish, their team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and they truly exceeded our expectations — both in customer service and in the quality of their food. They created the most beautiful and inviting atmosphere for our family celebration. The champagne service, the elegant dessert selection, and the delicious charcuterie spread were all absolutely exceptional. Each bite reflected care, attention to detail, and a clear passion for their craft. Every piece of the presentation was thoughtfully done and beautifully displayed, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to the evening. What stood out just as much as the food was the kindness and professionalism of the staff. They were attentive, accommodating, and made us feel genuinely valued. Their service was seamless, which allowed us to relax and simply enjoy our time with loved ones. Our vow renewal weekend was one of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and Lake Geneva Social played a huge part in making it truly unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a company that not only delivers outstanding quality but also cares deeply about their customers and the memories they help create. We are so thankful for all they did and look forward to working with them again in the future.“

“Amazing pies and breads, caring staff . Always great food“

“Great place for wine and cheese! The charcuterie board was delicious with freshly baked bread still warm from the oven. The views of the lake were great. We'll definitely be back!“

“Truly one of a kind. Nestled right off North Shore Drive, just around the bend on Lake Delevin, is a place you would likely miss on your scenic ride. A long, narrow path from the road to the water leads to a hidden gem for most tourists. I probably shouldn't share this widely because then it will get too crowded for me to enjoy. It is a Chicago sports bar with a loyal local heckler following and tourists, plus outnumbered native locals who like to argue. Ha! Got you guys because you know it's true: FIB sports fans are the majority, and I'm one of them. Great bar food, quality and done well. I love the burgers, and you can get them as rare as you’d like. An awesome elevated deck overlooks Lake Delevin, with an adjacent Airbnb available for rent with multiple bedrooms. The inside bar is down-home Wisconsin style, with a full bar, reasonable pricing, and stiff drinks. All tap beers are $2.00 during happy hour, 3 to 6, Monday through Friday. No strangers here; you will have to chat with people whether you like it or not. So put your phones and Game Boys away and get ready for some good old-fashioned fun. All staff are awesomely over-the-top accommodating.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Best drinks around and incredible service!“

“Nice patio overlooking beautiful green golf course. A few tables. Lots of colorful flowers.Good cheese curds. Grilled chicken sandwiches were delicious. Moist big piece of chicken. Small good coleslaw or crispy French fries. Service was the best. Attentive and very friendly. Clean cool and pleasant inside“

“Upon being greeted by a bubbly ,friendly so personable Victoria ,we were greeted by the most polite , friendly waiter Charles , he suggested things that wee great , it was his last day of work before going back to school, it was a true joy to have a young person with such good table side manners , then Victoria came to our table after we were done to see how things went , marvelous staff , they both should be commended, well done !!!!“

“If you should by chance come to this bar/restaurant , you should definitely try the fried cod fish on Friday night. The fish was not oily, it was crispy & very flavorful. Very friendly waitresses. We loved the window view of the lake. We also tried the nachos with steak bites. & were very tasty as well. Would we definitely come back.“

“I'm at Hogs nearly every Wednesday night for the Glenn Davis Blues jam. Have been for years. Feels like family. The blues jam is great, a variety of really excellent musicians drop by, sign up, and play some great music in the Blues Jam tradition (everyone gets a chance to play). No cover. Food is excellent, service is great. Oh yeah, and parking is free that time of night. Contrary to some posts here, I've never seen any kind of altercation, aside from a "musician" that outright sucked and got bent out of shape at the band leader when told to come back when he learned to play or at least accept guidance. The other band members handled that, peacefully. We welcome all musicians that have basic skills, as long as they can accept guidance (best way to learn). They allow me to play :). Worst I've ever seen on a Wednesday night is a couple people falling down drunk. They got helped out, and a ride home. I can't speak for Friday or Saturday night, or possible out of control Bachlerette parties, haven't been there.😁“

“We went on a Friday night in February and were still treated to delicious food and drinks, as well as a fantastic server. Can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

“We just stayed here at the Timber Ridge for the 2nd time. Family of 4. We went to the Moose and Maple for the 1st time. We went after we were done at the waterpark and arrived at the restaurant about 8:45. Service was excellent. We did not feel rushed even though they closed at 9:30. Restaurant was clean. Food was really good! We didn't get the opportunity to try breakfast but will try that next time hopefully. We had wings, Cheese~BLT, Salad, Loaded Baked Potatoe, kids chicken strips and kids mac and cheese.“

“Food was excellent, but double the price I remember.“
