★★★★☆ 4.0 Chip Wells · Feb 2026

I looked up reviews for top places to dine in Bainbridge. This is one of the best,so I gave it a try. I got there a little after 5:00. It’s a great older building. Donna was my waitress. She was great. I ordered the pecan crusted Idaho trout with grits. I tried something I have never had before. It was delicious. Overall this is a nice restaurant, but the prices are a little high. I would recommend this place for a special occasion.

Great place for a mid-week date night! New Orleans pasta was wonderful...filled with sausage, chicken, meat and shrimp in a tasty sauce. Crab cakes were lump crab meat and no filler. My wife said they were delicious. We will be back!

The food was excellent and the service was even better. Hats off the cook staff. Hands down the absolute best waitress we have ever had. We frequent restaurants across the southeast and The American is at the top of our list. This young woman sets the bar for how a waitress should be.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Michael Ray · Feb 2026

Original owners sold it last year, food is still good, but the service and atmosphere isn't the same. The former wait staff and owner knew us and knew we always came in for my wife's birthday and our anniversary, she always got a free dessert with a candle for her birthday, not this time. We also always liked the way they would bring you the check in a old library book, this building was once a library, they no longer do that either, we'll try something different for our anniversary this year.

★★★★★ 5.0 Gavin H. · Jan 2026

Went about 1 week ago, still craving the penne pasta they served. Phenomenal food and service. The cornbread wasnt too dry, the honey was great, the burger my mother had was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The pasta was probably the best thing on the menu. Definently recommend this spot if you find yourself in Bainbridge
