50 Best American Restaurants near Van Dyne

“Try it once & you’ll be back! Best fish fry in the State“

“Love the variety of sweet & savory! Great, friendly service! The food was delicious.“

“Best Mexican restaurant in the area. They serve real Mexican style food with cilantro, onion, homemade salsas, etc... portions are large. Carnitas plate is enough for 2 people.

The staff is usually very attentive and the service is fast. We have come in several times near close and they are always so nice.

The only negative is the margaritas, they are way too sweet and the blended is premixed so no option to change it. The mojitos are better, closer to the single refreshing drinks as intended.“

“Great food!! And an amazing staff!!! Had a great time playing would you rather? (At the bar) Awesome place to visit!!! 11/10“

“My favorite Culver’s“

“Great nostalgic atmosphere with super friendly wait staff. Outdoor seating area is like eating in a park with big shady trees and picnic tables, even small kids' tables. We brought the dog and ordered a cheeseburger for her. The staff knew it was for the dog so they made it with no bun inside a container so she could eat out of it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“

“Food was good, we had service for 7 and had great service! Lots of different food options. Place is loud which was surprising since we thought a place with a reservation would be quieter. Cheese curds were hands down some of the best (photo attached). Ribeye special was amazing (sister had that dish). Side salads are a hefty portion (Attached photo). Daughter had chicken curry soup and said it was delicious. I had the sirloin with mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes and string beans (photo attached) it was delicious and a large portion. Cocktails were not our favorite, they didn't taste that good.“

“I went through the drive thru Sunday with my husband, youngest and grand pup. My daughters name is Ella. The lady working the windows name was Bella. She was so nice and my daughter can't stop talking about how she has the same name as her friend and her name is almost just like hers. The other people were so nice as well. Keep up the amazing work your doing. I've never been let down there except when they forgot something but they made it right, right away. Yall deserve a raise!“

“We enjoyed great service as we celebrated a special birthday. We were a large group of 16. Our server Jenee was very attentive with superb service. So many great menu choices. Everything delivered together. We are so happy to have found your restaurant and recommend it highly.“

“Fantastic food, staff is a joy, prices are overly fair... highly recommend. Don't go to bed angry, laces out dan, and don't skip this place.“

“Ate here today for the first time and we’ll definitely be back. I had the Sweet Corn Cappelletti today and it was FANTASTIC! The side salad was so fresh and delicious. Great food and service!“

“Very good greasy spoon/truck stop food , if they had truck parking it'd be an awesome ? spot for truckers who deserve a decent meal, and breakfast or lunch.

Parking: 8 spots , and 2 handicap parking spots, on street parking available too going through fond du lac WI stop by and eat ?“

“love the place of the food the employees are verry nice to me id love to work there someday in the dinning room“

“Four of us had drinks and dinner on Tuesday. The staff are all top notch! Friendly and professional bartender, waitress and chef. Our steaks and seafood were all cooked perfectly. The chef paid a visit to every table to get direct feedback. Nice neighborhood supper club experience!“

“We had a really large group of family members (about 20 people total including adults & kids) to celebrate my dad's 89th Birthday on Wed Nov 20th, 2024. We had a reservation for 5pm & when we arrived, they had our table all setup & ready for us. Our Waitress (Amelia) was at our table immediately with a big smile & a very warm & friendly welcome. Our Waitress (Amelia) was an absolutely FANTASTIC Waitress, one of the best that we've dealt with in many years! As we were all getting settled in, we had a few surprise visitors that joined my dad's birthday celebration. Our waitress (Amelia) was right on top of everything & she immediately added another table to make sure that everyone was comfortable while eating their meal & didn't feel like you were being crammed in like sardines while eating. In addition to that, Amelia went out of her way to accommodate my dad by making sure that he felt extra "special" while celebrating this 89th Birthday of his. She got him a "special" cocktail (yes, a bit of a boozy one, which he really liked) in addition to a Root Beer Float to enjoy after he had enjoyed his Birthday meal. I was watching my dad with that Root Beer Float & he was thoroughly enjoying that! All the adults in our group ended up getting the All You Can Eat Fish Fry for $9.99 per person (or maybe it was even less than that, I'm not sure, because someone in our group paid for everyone's meal!). OMG it was absolutely amazing ~ everything was very FRESH & HOT. The Seasoned French Fries were delicious, and the Tatter Tots were the bomb! We had the BEST TIME EVER thanks to our amazing Waitress (Amelia) who went out of her way to make sure that EVERYONE in our group was taken care of. She was so much fun; she has a great sense of humor, and she fit right in with our "wild n crazy" family! By the time we left that evening we were saying that our Waitress (Amelia) was "Our Sister from another Mister" & we asked her if she was going to join all of us for Thanksgiving!! Thanks again for making my dad's 89th Birthday so "special" for him. I think he felt like a BIRTHDAY KING for the night!!“

“It is great to be back in Wisconsin. The staff is extremely Midwest nice, the meals were fast, hot and fresh. The store being #140 was clean and well maintained.“

“We stayed at this hotel after a Packers game. The location is convenient and hotel was very nice. The front desk staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The restaurant and bar were closed that evening, but she helped us to be comfortable at a table in the lobby/cafe area, where we ate our take-out pizza (West End Pizza across the street is a great place to get pizza!). The room was clean and comfortable. There was a lot of storage space and drawers for clothes if you’re staying for more than a night. The mini fridge and microwave were convenient. I would recommend staying here.“

“Great spot for some great food if you are in the Fond Du Lac area. We had the Queso curds to start, following by the Pina Colada Shrimp tacos and the Chicky Chicky Parm Parm sandwich. All were great. Service was great and while it was busy they turn the tables pretty quickly. Wish we would have had room for dessert because they sounded delicious!“

“Oh my gosh! What's not to love? Seriously.. our tab came to just $37! We had 3 spark plugs (heaping proportions of delicious cheese curds, fries and chicken tenders), a 1/3lb cheese burger (they say they have the best burgers in Oshkosh. I agree. I don't really care for hamburgers. I've only had 1 hamburger in the past 9 months - at Mihms yum. But I had a few bites of their burger. NGL I might order my own burger next time), and 4 mixed drinks. C'mon now! That's a great deal! The atmosphere is great! Their down home sarcasm attracts literally an equal amount of young and old. No matter where you sit there is a TV to watch. The staff behind the bar work their arses off! You do have to order, pick up, and clear your table at the middle of the bar. But I see nothing wrong with that at all. I will definitely be back!“

“The service and food were fairly good The atmosphere was nice and casual. The servers were tentative. The place was clean and I definitely would consider it in the future. It’s not a chain and it looks like they take a little bit of pride in the food that they put out and how it’s presented and most of all how it taste.“

“our food was amazing!, and our bartender absolutely outstanding , Haley is truly One of a kind. Thank you young lady for always being so pleasant. See you soon“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Downtown Oshkosh! The staff is friendly, the seasonal drink menu is always fun -- and I absolutely love the cauliflower manchurian & the butternut squash salad!“

“Our to-go food was absolutely fantastic tonight! The portabella mushroom was delicious and the chef’s choice soup was delightfully sweet and spicy. Will order again soon!“

“Good experience with good food“

“This was our 1st time here. The food was very good & the staff were nice & friendly. The environment was welcoming & comfortable. We will definitely go back. I highly recommend checking them out, if you haven’t.“

“Great food and good service. Our favorite place for burgers.“

“I love this place! We had a group of 10. They were quite busy (as usual) For a Monday Night. Menu has actually Dinners. Not just Bar and Grill food like most places in town these days. Food came out fast and hot! Very reasonable prices! Great drinks and superb service. (Franko and Haley). We will definitely be back! Thank you!!!“

“I've noticed lately everything we order here just gets better & better.
The fish fry is just excellent.
Thank you for caring enough to make everything great! Oh & the broccoli soup is my go to item when I'm not feeling well. Again! Thank you for continuing the excellence of this loved hometown place!!!!!!“

“I haven't been in a Perkins in ages. I'm a local/Mom & Pop type diner. Our service was outstanding. Food was delicious, all served as ordered and in a timely manner. The place was clean and the staff was friendly and happily serving! Definitely would recommend it!“

“Thank you for all the amazing food for my daughter’s baby shower. From the bountiful charcuterie board, the taste pinwheels, chicken salad croissants and delicious salads. Especially the quinoa salad, everyone loved it. Thank you for adding your special touches to this beautiful afternoon.“

“I met some friends for breakfast at Rolling Meadows today and everything was wonderful. We had such a sweet, friendly waitress; very attentive. I had the Avocado Toast and they were happy to make it with a hard-boiled egg in place of the poached eggs it listed on the menu. The sourdough toast was so good and obviously homemade. It was the best breakfast I’ve had in years. My friends were all very pleased with their meals, too. I will definitely return, it was a pleasant and relaxing meal with delicious food!“

“A staple of downtown Fond du Lac, you can not go wrong at this place. Great service, awesome food, and always a fun time. 5/5 stars!“

“Partial to Patty melts and theirs did not disappoint. Good bread, grilled in butter, not some nasty oil. Plenty of cheese and a good beef patty. Service was timely and friendly. Had cottage cheese as my side and only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is it was not cold, not warm but cold. I also liked the atmosphere with lots of sports on the many tv’s.“

“Great place! Very well managed!!“

“The tenderloin steak sandwich is the BEST in the Valley!!“

“Just came through drive through and get home to find out they didn't give us our chicken tenders. Call the number and it goes straight to voice-mail but not accepting messages because it's not set up yet.“

“Came to this place in 1993, had the best time on my trip of the USA from Australia, took me ages to find my hotel the Pioneer inn, got stuck at the rail crossing with some long train a thought I was never gonna get back to the hotel until the sun came up. Good memories.“

“Our server was excellent. Food was great. Just passing through but highly recommend“

“The food is so good. We have always been treated like we're the only customers. The food comes hot and fast. The restaurant is very clean and so are the restrooms. This is one of my wife's and my favorite places to eat. Chips and salsa come to the table right after you sit down. They have hot and mild salsa.

Kid-friendliness: Large booths and tables. Very easy to sit mom and dad and four kids. Plus a kids menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: Door's open wide enough to get a wheelchair inside. Wheelchair can slide up to a table.“

“Friendly staff, great 2/1 daily special for happy hour. Great Friday fish fry, wraps are delicious and their soups are so good!“

“My wife and I are waiting for others to arrive, we go to the bar and the nicest couple moved down to open a second seat.

The waiter was great, food came out hot and as we ordered it. Highly recommend, sad i only got to eat there once. Definitely going back!“

“I’ve been to Winners Sports Bar & Grill a few times now, and it’s always a solid spot. The vibe is fun and laid-back, perfect for catching a game or grabbing a casual meal. I had their Angus burger on a pretzel bun—juicy, tasty, and cooked just right. The fries hit the spot too. My wife got the BLT, and she loved it.

The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome every time. Whether you’re stopping in after the Farmer’s Market or just want a good burger and some drinks, this place is worth it. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Oshkosh.“
