In town on business and wanted something non-chain and good. This had some nice reviews and the burgers looked good so I decided to give it a go.... Walked and sat myself as the waitress said I could. After I sat down a waitress brought me a menu immediately and too my drink order (Pepsi products - I won't deduct points for that, but it was tempting. I opted for a water - it was current vintage, clear, cold and a typical clean water taste. I asked about the burgers and the waitress indicated it was one of her favorite things to order. So, I ordered a cheeseburger & fries. It also comes with soup and coleslaw. Homemade soup. Home. Made. I order chicken noodle. It was brought out immediately, as in 5 seconds later. Just a cup, but it was homemade and it was excellent. The burger came out very fast as well. Very short wait. It was large and it was hot. The fry portion was large as well. I took a bite of the burger. Excellent! Very, very good. It's a burger so I will refrain from using 1000 words when a few will do. Get. The. Burger. The staff was friendly and laughing and seemed in very good moods all around. My waitress was nice and checked on me and my meal regularly but not annoyingly often. All in all, I recommend this place. Excellent hot food and excellent service. The building is a typical square building with windows around. Typical diner set up, if you're turned off or simply attracted to a place for how it looks, then that's your call. read more

This place is a gem!!!! The all American breakfast is the best in town. This is not mere diner food here. This is perhaps the best place to go to breakfast. They have tvs on the wall and a really full menu as well. A port Huron institution but I'm not sure who all knows it! read more

Excellent breakfast-our omelettes were great. Nothing fancy, old school diner. Recommend.

Okay the best thing about the American Grill, the price! Great price for typical diner food. We can feed our 4 kids and 2 adults for less than $35 and the food is good. Staff gets the job done with quality service. I must say one of the features at breakfast is the sausage links. Probably the best I have ever had at a restaurant. Also notable salads for lunch and dinner. read more

I'll start this off by saying that maybe I've been spoiled by all the options I have living in a metropolitan area (Detroit). Also, I'm originally from the PH area, so I know my way around the diners. Well, the diners that were there 15 years ago and are still there now. So, when I was in town over the weekend, and it came time for breakfast, I was really hoping for something good. I love Cavis and Manis'. Great diners. Ted's Coney Island would've been good, too, because you can't get chili like that where I live. Instead, we ended up at American Grill. We were all hungover and really hungry, so the food was adequate, but I would never go to American Grill again by choice. I ordered the half order of biscuits and gravy. It's pretty hard to mess up, but the biscuits were dry, and then there's the gravy. There was so much of it that I wasn't sure if there were any biscuits in there. I also got a side of cheesy potatoes, and when the waitress served it, I got worried. It looked like a pile of yellow cream. The hash brown style potatoes weren't cooked, and swimming in cheese soup. Yet somehow those were pretty good. Only one of my friends' food looked good. He had steak and eggs, and the steak was surprisingly big. Our waitress was good - no problems there. She was good about refilling our coffee and water. At some point, though, a guy who I'm assuming is one of the owners came out to fill our coffee and water. His hands were really shaky, so he ended up spilling water all over the table every time he filled a glass. He made no effort or offer to clean it up. I won't be going back, especially with Ted's right around the corner. read more

Wow, what a little gem! Always a great breakfast and the sausage links are to die for! Eggs are cooked to perfection EVERY single time. Service is just the way it should be! Fast, friendly and always with a smile! I travel from Macomb to visit this restaurant and it must be good........the police department is always there! I love it and I'll be back again and again. read more

Very reasonable prices. Clean. Good food. Had potato soup which was good and chicken pita. One of the softest freshest pieces of pita bread I've had at a restaurant. Not fancy, but family dining done well. The old restaurant burned down a while ago and has reopened, so the place is actually open contrary to what you might find on the web. UPDATE __OK...tried it again and wow not a good day. Fried mushrooms came out still frozen on the inside, the lemon soup was not great. The service was kinda off, I'm not sure if it was just a bad day, but it'll be a while before I roll the dice again... read more

Fish dinner is to die for !!!! Macaroni and cheese ....awesome!!! Chicken club very good and fresh ,waitresses very customer friendly.... prices no complaints .....portions are large this place !!! read more

Found this place on Yelp and wanted to try it a few times before reviewing. Some of the reviews were not very flattering. Every meal I've had here has been outstanding for being a diner. Some of the locals have told me that the original building burned down and recently has been rebuilt. There are a couple of other places around the corner that I have been wanting to try but every time I drive by this place I have to pull in. Service has also been outstanding and the prices are reasonable. If you haven't been here in a while, you may want to revisit. read more

Great place for Sunday breakfast/lunch. Service was excellent, food was cooked to order, place was full, but runs like a smooth machine. We were a group of six and had no problem of any kind. read more

I'm a little reluctant to give 5 stars, because that sounds like it's perfect. However, 4 of 5 stars is only 80%, and it's better than that. Judging this by what it is: an American diner, it doesn't get much better. The menu has a wide range, and while not everything I've eaten here is fantastic, it's always good, and some of the food is superb. The restaurant is well-kept and the service is consistently decent. Not perfect, but very good and very consistent. You can have a good, filling meal here for a low price and never regret coming. My recommendations: fish & chips and omelettes. The omelettes are great, and they come with sides. I have a healthy appetite, and I can never finish the meal. read more

Food portions are huge in the States but sometimes lacking in flavour and freshness but not the American Grill. Found through yelp, great choice for breakfast/ lunch while in Port Huron, MI for the Silverstick tournament. 5 meals for under $50 including drinks, taxes and tips usually means fast food but not in this case. Ordered omelettes, pancakes, eggs and bacon and a salad bowl that could easily have served 4. Friendly service and lots of locals so you know it's good! read more

We are locals who eat here regularly. In a word - FANTASTIC! A family friendly diner, but they strive to provide high quality and lowest prices, and they succeed on both accounts! From great breakfasts, at the best prices ANYWHERE - and no extra charge for changes - like FRESH fruit instead of potatoes, or tomato slices instead of toast, no problem, no upcharge! Their beef is FRESH, never frozen, resulting in amazing, juicy, delicious burgers, HALF POUNDERS, and so loaded your eyes will pop! And their big NY strip steak is almost a rival to Lucky's Steak House - deliciosly seasoned and grilled to perfection! Melt in your mouth, juicy, YUM! Their salads are without rival, always fresh greens, and not just cheapo iceburg lettuce, but mixed spring greens and LOADED with whatever fixings you choose; the best amount & price anywhere, and we've tried them all! All their other choices (huge menu options, and again willing to accomodate changes or subtitutions) are terrific as well; quality, not greasy slop; and the wait staff is friendly, wanting to please. Everywhere else we go, whether locally, in state or out of state, we compare it to American Grill, and usually others come up lacking; in quality, portion size and price! CAN'T beat the Grill, so try it!! read more

The restaurant used to be a good place to order food or even go into to dine. Now there getting to cozy with there spot. Food is just not right The food deliveries are not on time.. It's good for the after-hour drunks they will not know the difference read more

One of the few places open to get a meal during all the craziness in the world right now. Portion sizes are gigantic, great value for price. Servers were all very friendly. read more

Food was delicious and they give you huge portions. We came here after my son's hockey game, we are from Westland. Everything was so good that we joked about even driving the hour and half just to eat here again. read more

Good comfort food in port huron! Great breakfast and even better portions and prices! The regulars come here and so should you!

Decent food .... but the service was really really bad ... idk ... they were not all that busy .... probably will not go back ... service was "that bad" .... been there in the past ... same issue read more

Their burgers are usually pretty good, lemon rice soup was also good. However do not order their chicken wrap..it was the most boring sandwich I have ever had and I have gotten more flavor at other diners. Looking for a good diner..go to Nicks Four Roses or Teds. My last burger I had at American Grille wasnt that memorable either. read more

Great food and the prices are good. Best club sandwiches around. I recommend this place to anyone that's in the mood for a burger, sandwich or breakfast. read more

This family restaurant was pretty good and our waiter danny was very friendly to start us off we had cold water which was perfect on a hot day,next we got salad and soup the salad was pretty good the ranch tasted homemade. The lemon rice soup was good and hit the spot but it had no chicken... the breadbasket was ok but could use some breadsticks.The fish and chips was delicious. it was three pieces of cod golden fried to perfection with a generous amount of french fries for around 8 bucks. My parents on the other hand got the gyro platter it came with pita tomatoes onions and tzyaki (tuh-zee-key)and 4 pieces tiny pieces of lamb meat. Everything on it was good except the dried out burnt skin like pieces of lamb. Which was horrible. The rice pudding was good but not that creamy we will be back but steer away from the gyro. read more

Great size portions, everything was yummy. Love how dessert was even included with my dinner. Excellent server.

I'm not sure if today was an off day or what we saw all the positive reviews and were so excited to try this place. We went there this afternoon. The waitress don't know her name came to the table I wasn't ready yet she said okay and kinda threw her hands up like annoyed. Fast forward my family and I order our food, I asked for a chicken sandwich with just lettuce and Mayo, no cheese, no tomato. Seems easy enough. She delivers my families meals, not mine and asks me if I'm allergic to tomatoes I said no she okay I'll have the cook remove them. I was like uh okay.... She brings mine out it has cheese that was melted into all the couple tiny chicken strips on this sandwich. I politely mentioned I asked for no Swiss cheese, she then asked me if I was allergic I said no... she said she would take it back and have the cook scrape it off.. I said never mind, I don't want anything to eat. She then told me she was going to get in trouble. I said sorry don't want it. So I sat there while my family had their meals. She never checked in on them once to see if they needed refills, she never asked to see how things tasted or if they needed any additional condiments she abandoned our table until she brought the check. My husband then asked for a to go box for our child. She never brought one she just stood there filling up jelly containers, I guess that was more important than her table. He ended up walking to a station and grabbing our own to go box. I noticed the walls next to the table were gross and the lip on the table had a bunch of old build up of food and gunk. Never in all my years have I ever had an experience like this at any restaurant, not even a low end fast food place. I went up the road to Jimmy Johns and got a sandwich with no tomatoes and guess what they got it right the first time and it was way cheaper than this chicken sandwich with a couple small chicken strips laid out on it. I will never be back here. read more

Love the Spaghetti and Meat Sauce senior portion here. Served with garlic toast, it's just the right size bowl for lunch. I've also been here on a day when they serve Cream of Cauliflower Soup. I thought that it was a very tasty cup of soup, and one that you don't see on menus often. It's definitely worth a try if you like cauliflower. read more

Worth seeking a local restaurant (using Yelp) and getting off the highway for a late lunch. Large portions, delivered quickly, from an extensive menu. Not outstanding food, but very satisfying and great service. read more

Holy smokes! The amount of food on our plates was amazing! What an unassuming little diner with a great menu. This restaurant was recommended by several friends and they were right. The prices were low. Food quality high. We will defiantly be back! read more

Stopped in last night just before closing, I figured I would be turned away and was treated like a valuable customer. We often have take out at work from The American Grill and have yet to be disappointed. Staff is friendly and make you feel like a valued guest. read more

Stopped here while visiting my former home town with my family and was very impressed. They were extremely busy yet they got us set up with a big table in no time and they were very friendly about it. Service was top notch and the food was excellent. This will certainly be a place that me and my fiends and family will come back too. read more

Fantastic breakfast!!! Staff was friendly and service was quick. Had the steak omelette and it was excellent. Hash browns were great as well! I will definitely be stopping back again! Seems like a "regulars" hang out in the morning...can't blame them! read more

Came here for breakfast and was greeted by a friendly, diner atmosphere. Our waitress was kind and quick. Inexpensive #1 All American Breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, hash browns, and toast was cooked perfectly. Great restaurant and we'll come again. read more

Stopped here for breakfast with two teenage grandsons. Servers were fast and attentive. Everything was clean, place was very busy and almost filled to capacity. My husband and I both had the farmers omelette, lots of filling and cheese, with hash browns inside and on the side. Grandsons had their pancakes, one had the banana chocolate chip and the other one had the sweet cherry pancakes, large portions and they did their best to finish them but couldn't. We will definitely return. Prices were very reasonable and food quality very good! I posted the photos of the pancakes that the grandsons had, read more

Portions are HUGE!, Everything taste fresh, service is great. Thursday is Steak night, the Strip was enormous, one of those that covers your plate that you have to constantly work at so as that you can consume it all before it gets cold, excellent and cooked perfectly. Breakfeasts are also large portions and very good as well read more

Food is good but the waiter we had last visit was awful. Didn't get his name but his hair was dark, long, and pulled back. He only came to our table once after he brought our food. We waited a long time for our bill and a box he never came. My husband waved at him 3 times and he ignored it. We finally asked a nearby waitress for a box and our bill. She brought us a box but no bill. We got tired of waiting so we went up to pay and he walked right past me and went to another table. The girl at the register asked how she could help and I said we need our bill. She asked who waited on us and I said him. She just said he's busy at another table you'll have to wait. We already waited a long time. Then she helped someone else. We should have just left. The food is really good though. I give 5 stars for the food and zero for this waiter so I come up with 3. Hope he never waits on us again. read more

What a gem. Large portions, great quality, friendly and fast service. Will definitely come back.

I had breakfast at the establishment, highly unsatisfactory. The eggs which I ordered over easy were runny, my american fries were hard as a rock and as I was at the counter to pay for my meal I noticed that at least two of the cooks had a beard and neither of them had a hairnet on them! read more

Great food and really good service. Breakfast was cheap and cooked perfect. Chicken basket came with soup and desert. Worth the stop in.

This Diner is very straight forward, and I like that. The service is good, and the food is even better. I had the American Burger, and it was delicious. The eggs were warm and delicious, and the bacon was nice and crispy. It was, overall, a very good burger. I recommend this diner for a brunch with family/friends. read more

Very good place to eat, great people, one very good diner to try. Kids and wife love the chicken tenders.

The service was very very fast and food was good but poorly put together I got the western omelette and it looked more like a skillet they put the inside on the plate and lay an egg over it... disappointing but you get a lot for your money... would come back again to try the lunch or dinner. read more
