    Burger and onion rings
    matt e.

    It's a small local restaurant. At first, it doesn't look like much but it's a pleasant surprise. Service was excellent and food was very good. A little on the more expensive side for the location but certainly worth the trip. Don't sleep on it.

    Late Lunch at Lori's American Grille - Goshen, OH Let me start with this: Lori's American Grille is a really cool little diner that is fully dedicated to the brave men and women who have served our country. The walls are covered with photographs of veterans, American flags, and heartfelt tributes to the armed forces. As a veteran myself, of course I had to check it out--and I can honestly say it touched me deeply. Now let's talk about the staff and the food. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by Lee, who was warm, welcoming, and immediately made us feel at home. He introduced himself, asked our names--and not only remembered them, but used them throughout the entire visit. That kind of personal touch is rare these days. Lee is truly a treasure of an employee, and Lori should be incredibly thankful to have him. His pride in the restaurant and the food they serve is second to none, and it shows. The menu made choosing difficult (in the best way), but I finally landed on The Great American burger. It came topped with pimento cheese, bacon, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and onion on a brioche bun. I made it a platter and chose club fries and coleslaw as my sides. The club fries are similar to steak fries but flatter, nicely coated, and cooked in beef tallow--crispy, rich, and absolutely delicious. The coleslaw was thinly shredded with a slight spice that gave it a great kick. The burger itself? Tender, juicy, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Honestly, I'd put it in my top five burgers I've ever had. Scores: * Burger: (10/5 stars) * Fries: (5/5) * Slaw: (5/5) So how do I sum up Lori's American Grille? Amazing. The décor, the service, and the food were all outstanding. Do yourself a favor and make the effort to visit this great little diner. You'll thank me. Tell Lee Brian said hello!!

    Military tribute

    We went to this cute place today for a late lunch. The restaurant honors all kinds of Military Veterans with picturesand flags. Our server was Lee. He was the most outgoing and friendly person. He introduced himself, shook our hands and asked our names. He always addressed us by name each time he came to our table. I ordered the Grand Stand burger. It had American cheese, tarter sauce, pickles and lettuce. My side was coleslaw. The burger was very juicy and tender. The slaw was a bit spicy and I loved it. This place is a gem and I highly recommend it.

    The crabragoon cheese sticks were not all the hype that we were expecting. The sweet and sour sauce that came with them had a nice kick to it. The rueben eggs roll sticks were absolutely AMAZING for someone who enjoys sauerkraut. We got a Dennis Johnson burger with tots and the Alamo burger. The Dennis Johnson was perfect with flavor and the tots were nice and crispy. I enjoyed the Alamo until my 4th bite. Then I bit into raw bacon and I couldn't eat anymore. I got the loaded wedges and the bacon on them was over cooked. Asked for sour cream and they only had a little cup with barley half of the cup of it. The service was good, no problems with it. The vibes of the restaurant was really nice and laid back. I wish the bacon on my sandwich would have been cooked all the way and that would have made such a big difference. Not sure if we'll try again.

    Seating

    Drove down from west Chester to grab a late lunch. I walked in and was greeted immediately by the young lady at the counter. Was told I could sit anywhere. Ordered a coffee, a Soldier burger with fries. My waiter was very friendly and helpful. The burger was one of the best I have had in the greater Cincinnati area. It was impressively good. The fries were also very good. I also enjoyed a mozzarella stick and their version of crab Rangoon. Both were very good but I would place the cheese stick above the Rangoon. I got a bread pudding to go as I was so full but wanted to try it. This is big enough for easily 2 or 3 people. I not only will be back, but I will bring friends. The place was very tidy and the bathrooms although small were clean.

    Crab Rangoon Mozzarella Sticks
    Alyssa L.

    Did we drive over 40 minutes to get here? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. We had heard about the crab Rangoon mozzarella sticks and immediately knew we needed to make the trip to try them. And they were incredible - worth all of the hype. The sticks are pretty big and you get 3 in an order. Between two people, 3 was the perfect amount (getting to split the 3rd one). It was a bit pricy but quality was great so we didn't mind. The burgers we ordered were also fantastic. They were cooked perfectly and very juicy. The menu is so large we kept looking at what other people had ordered, but ultimately decided we just wanted to try some burgers. Will for sure be going back to try other things though (like the fish and chips or any chicken sandwich). The ambiance is nothing to write home about - it's basically a diner. But that's not why you go - you go because the food is incredible and the staff is great.

    Branded bun

    My boyfriend and I love supporting local businesses and Lori's American Grille is one of our favorites. They have the best selection of food. The portions are huge so I haven't tried the appetizers yet. I've heard the crab Rangoon is amazing. Definitely next time. This time I opted for the burger and onion rings. The onion rings are amazing served hot and fresh. The flavor is so good. The 5 blended steak burger is amazing too. They used to brand the bun with USA which I loved. Hopefully they go back to doing that as it was such a fun touch. This place is always hopping. There aren't many tables so get there early. The walls are covered with pictures of military veterans. I saw one from WW1. My boyfriend asked if he could bring one of his dad and they said absolutely. The servers are so nice and attentive. It's definitely a great value. If you want to try something new this place is well worth the drive.

    The Big Dill burger and onion rings
    Carlisha C.

    This is another restaurant recommended by one of my property managers. It reminded me of a favorite place in Madisonville, KY, Ferrell's. The prepared upon order burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked to my requested liking (medium). This burger comes with fried pickles. Be careful these will sneak up on you. They go in like a pickle but have a kick at the end. The onion rings were big and crunchy; PERFECT! They also have a local bakery that provides cheesecake slices. I didn't order one but they looked delicious. It is always nice to visit and support a local eatery! Check out the display of veterans, I assume are/were local citizens. I'm a daughters of a vet so this touched my heart. I didn't see any minority vet photos but this could be due to the low population of minorities in the area. Also, the owner is a fellow REALTOR so it's like a one stop shop! This is a definite visit for if you're a foodie like me! Tons of different burgers and other items to choose from. I will definitely be back! Oh and I loved the old tunes that were playing!

    Fried cod sandwich
    Richard B.

    Food is amazing! We got takeout. The wife had wings and she loved them, and I had the cod fried fish sandwich and a two was simply out of this world!!! we'll definitely be going back! If you really want to treat yourself, this is the place

    You're NOT leaving unsatisfied. Great flavors in every burger. Look in Tictok for MulletReview and hear the flavors roar.
    Mark F.

    The food is as sensual as a Barry White / Brittany Spears video. Service as down home and loving as your grandmother's Sunday dinners and the ambiance is as casual as a Mayberry diner. Chris & Lori have hit it out of the park. They've started to get busy at times which would be hard for the typical country burger and sandwich spot but Lori has taken the casual and made it gourmet. You can't go wrong on this menu it's all scrumptious. They need to expand. I sat next to a guy that drove from Over the Rhine and he called his friends and family to describe what he was eating he was so impressed. Now if they just brewed beer! National!!

    Everything was amazing, you should go here! Everything is cooked in beef tallow so you won't feel bad. True Americans would highly recommend, fast, easy, and tasty!

This place is an experience! My bff lives in Florida and every time she comes in town she has to have dinner here at least once during her visit. The bite flight is a great starter. The salmon is amazing, gator bites, salads, sandwiches. Seriously, everything is absolutely delicious! And it's a BYOB place which is great. Seating inside and out. Service is always great. I can't recommend this hidden gem enough. You can thank me later!

    So I'd rate this establishment a 3.5 but I'll round up to a 4…read more The family and I came here for dinner on Saturday night and we had a really nice time. Bite has been on my husband's list for awhile because he's all about local small businesses. Any who, here is what we ordered.. Blue crab smothered fries 7/10 - So I don't know if they used fresh blue crab or in a tin, but nonetheless this was fairly good. Quite an innovative plate I would say.. I didn't know what to expect, maybe something more like a poutine...? The flavor of the blue crab and shrimp were seasoned very nicely. My only two recommendation would be... 1) they should make their fries fresh in-house - I could tell these were frozen fries and then 2) I would have like to see the "smothered" cheese/sauce be thicker because it was quite watery. Chicken alla vodka 6/10 - The crispy chicken cutlet was very good! Probably the best part of the dish. As for the vodka sauce - I thought that this was just okay and possibly its just my taste preference. There was a heavy taste of possibly too much cream? Or maybe even sour cream? I can't put my finger on it.. I don't know if it's me (it probably is), but I tasted even a hint of mustard...? Anywho... this dish was okay, the chicken really saved it for me. I recommend that they should do grated pecorino vs slices only because the cheese would be even distributed throughout the dish. The vodka pasta tasted better the next day as a leftover because I put a ton of parmesan cheese. Blueberry maple salmon 9/10 - My husband ordered this dish and I would agree that this dish was the winner of the night. Another innovative dish for a quaint local establishment. The salmon had a real nice crisp, cooked perfectly to medium, and there was a really nice smokey taste to the salmon. Overall a good dining experience - definitely small recommendations on a couple of the things we ordered on execution, but nonetheless we'd come back here to support.

It was a small space but feels like a diner from an old movie. It was cozy and fun! I got the Tealside Slammer with scrambled eggs, potato cakes, and upgraded the standard pancake to a waffle with brown sugar butter. It's one of my favorite meals I've had this year. I've never had potato cakes before, so now I am on a mission to learn how to make them from home. The eggs were buttery and fluffy - I loved them. The sausage tasted just like how my grandma makes it. The waitress (who was super bubbly and friendly!) suggested I get the brown sugar butter with my waffle and she was so right. I've never had something like that, but there is no going wrong with brown sugar or butter - the combination of the two obviously is amazing! I can't wait to go back and try even more on the menu!

They serve breakfast all day. It's usually busy whenever I go for dinner around 5 or 6pm but service is quick. It might be hard to navigate and find a seat because it's a small place. The string lines are cute. They have music playing and Pixar movies on the TV. My favorite is the Sweet Brunch Sandwich. I also really like their biscuits and sausage gravy. Their home fries have the perfect amount of crispiness. I've tried other things on the menu and it's all been decent. Their flavored iced coffee was not great, though. I mean it's a diner so it's not like... super fancy and I wouldn't exactly say it's worth going out of your way for. I gave a bonus star for the service :)
