My wife and I had walked past this place many times but never stopped in. One evening, we were…read morecraving a good burger, and every other restaurant in town had a long wait. Then I remembered American Café, and I'm glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the service was phenomenal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. The burgers were superb--cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and made with quality ingredients you could actually taste. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. It's not a fancy or upscale restaurant, but if you appreciate great food made right and served with a smile, this is the place to go. American Café definitely earned a new pair of regular customers. The next time I'm in the mood for a burger, I know exactly where I'm going.

We go to this great dinner many times a week because the food and service is great:) Shelby one of the servers is friendly and a true professional:) Someone on this review wrote a nasty review and the women had an attitude before her water spilled because I was setting right in front of her and watched all of it unfold right in front of me and Shelby handled it so well but that women had an attitude :( so when someone gives this great restaurant a bad review they need to go to taco bell. read more

Over $15 for chicken and waffles. Chicken had no flavor and tasted like it was cooked in old oil. Waffles had no flavor and the whole thing was very meh. Server went way too long without checking on us or refilling our coffee. For the price and the lack of flavor and service we probably won't go back. Not terrible, but not really good either. read more

Tap in below: -Being from Nevada, we had stop in to support a former Nevadan owned business. Ron just got a knee surgery and was hard at work!!! Anna was in the kitchen running around and all hands were on deck making sure everyone was tended to, and had not just phenomenal service, but phenomenal food! The sense of community spoke mountains as my fiancée was wished a happy birthday by a daughter of a firefighter, we watched her open the door for a local who came in, and as beautiful as that was.... Ron was known by all the locals and this restaurant spoke community from the minute you walked in. As for the food: -Steak plate: 5/5 Well seasoned, home cooking. If you've walked into your home and you had mom make you a hot plate of food, that's what this experience reminded me of. Home. There were smiles as we ate, flavors that reminded us of home cooking, just a classic diner experience that makes you feel a sense of community. It was just a perfectly cooked over medium egg, a scramble of steak and potatoes that was seasoned well, just a quality dining experience. -Chicken and waffles: 4.5/5 Southern classic. Breading was the only thing I'd change on the chicken but a fluffy waffle met with sweet syrup and a crispy chicken. Savory meets sweet and it's just done simple and done right. Chatting with Ron and Anna, the community is blessed to have them in this town and the twin yolk is somewhere I'd say is a true hole in the wall you'd miss unless you knew about it. Hoping this provides the visibility for you to share this heart warming experience as well.
