American Grill

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.

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,

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.

My husband and I love love LOVE this place! I really can’t stress that enough! :-D
We moved to PH 2 years ago, but never bothered to come here until last week… what a mistake that was! It looks like just your typical diner, but the food is AMAZING! By far the best food in the area!!! We tried it out for dinner one night, and returned 3 more times in the same week!
Everything we ordered was delicious… all homemade! You can really taste the difference from the other restaurants & diners in the area. The burgers are HUGE and both the french toast and the pancakes taste like a little bit of home. Seriously… I haven’t had pancakes or french toast taste so good since my mother & father’s cooking.
As for the service, A+! Super friendly and efficient.
I really wish I could eat all my meals here :)

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.

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.

Found this place on Unilocal 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.

Wow! I haven’t been here in years! My waitress was Jo, and she earned her tip!
Stopped in and had a daily special. Ham & Scalloped Potatoes, with soup, salad or cole slaw. Something wasn’t quite the same as I had expected — it was more like cheese soup, with ham and potato chunks. Large portion, and even though I belong to the clean plate club, which entitles me to dessert, I didn’t have room for any.
The facility is nice and modern looking.

*** Senior portion/​prices are no longer offered here.***

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.

Well the service was good.

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…
