Off street parking is plentiful with a large paved lot. The menu is pretty expansive with daily specials. My wife and I both chose the fried chicken (all white) for $8.99 with two sides. We both had the baked potato. She had the kidney bean salad while I had the coleslaw. With drinks the bill was $24. Interestingly, the chicken meal can be had two different ways, two breasts with two wings or three breasts. (Even though the breast pieces were not huge, that's still a lot of chicken for the money.) I noticed that the table beside us had ordered an appetizer basket of onion rings. The rings were thinly sliced, lightly coated, fried to a golden brown. Obviously hand made, they looked delicious and smelled great. Priced at $5 it seemed to be an excellent value. The chicken arrived hot and crispy. (The waitress just went ahead and brought a take-home box at the same time. Smart lady, There was no way we were finishing all that at one setting.) It was chicken was perfectly cooked and tasty. The sides were well prepared too. On this particular Wednesday evening there was a live band playing a nice mix of country music (some old some not quite so old). They were set-up in one corner and were doing a pretty fair job. Their volume level was adequate but low enough to allow for conversation. Not being from here I can't say if this was a regular occasion or not. All I know is it made for a pleasant surprise. All in all I was pleased with my experience at the American Grille and should I be back in the area I would not hesitate to dine here again.

If i lived in the area, i would probably come back. Good food and good vibes. Service was nothing special.

I got some tenders for my kids, a medium spice sandwich for myself and a special pbj burger for my husband. We also got some truffle fries, onion rings, and jalapeño curds. The chicken was high quality and well battered. The tenders were large, and so was the sandwich. My husband loved his weird pbj sandwich. Unfortunately I discovered the medium spice sauce was essentially spicy BBQ and I hate BBQ it was described to me as "similar to wing sauce" so I was thinking of red hot wing sauce. Thats on me! Can't hold that against them. My husbaad ate both somehow. The truffle fries I wouldn't order again. They were thin shoestring and very greasy with some parm shaved over the top. The jalapeño curds were good. They also forgot our onion rings which was a bummer. I didnt realize til we were on the road and we didnt want to go back.
