FOOD/DRINKS: The menu has standard southern food options but I went for lunch and decided to get a…read moreburger. It was very good. I wish they had more cheese options but they only had the standard American cheese and personally I felt the quality of the cheese could have been better. I got fried okra as my side and it was delicious. Sweet tea was my drink of choice and I felt that it should have been richer and sweeter. It tasted more like sugar water versus sweet tea. SERVICE: Family oriented. Friendly. Welcoming. I got there close to 11am so there was definitely a lunch rush coming in, but service was quick and my order was accurate. Overall, this was a great southern restaurant for the small town of Vernon. ATMOSPHERE: Small. Casual. Kid friendly. LOCATION: Private parking lot with a decent amount of parking.

I am not very impressed to say the least. I always thought small town food was supposed to be…read morebetter than chain restaurants. They can and a lot are but this place is not one of them. On 2/12/2020 i placed a to go order on my way through town and told 10 minutes. Pulled in 4 minutes later and to my surprise, my food was ready to go. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries. The lady told me the total would bec$10.70. In my opinion, this is just a bit pricey for the area but none the less, i was ok paying that price. Upon arrival, i was shocked to find the place looked like a remodeled shed with an enclosed porch wrapped on it. My first impression was not good to say the least but i placed the order so i was following through. Once inside, my theory was correct. It is a shed. Either way, i walked to the counter and the lady knew exactly who i was (not hard to figure out when I'm the only customer). She told me $10.70 again and although she just said the amount, she charged me $11.00. The money difference wasn't a big concern but I'm wondering why she charged different than she said. Maybe to cover the credit card fee? Maybe she just can't count, the world will never know. After leaving and getting back on the road, i popped the lid on the food and noticed a few things. There weren't many fries, bun was cold and no moisture in the tray which can mean 1 of 2 things. 1, it was so dry and nasty that it had no moisture or it's cold. I grabbed a fry and it was warm so that's not it. Second option i guess. I grabbed the burger and the bun was ice cold almost as if they pulled it from the fridge. Not a good sign so i lifted the top bun to find 2 tiny pieces of bacon (even McDonalds puts more bacon on their sandwiches) and a cold patty. Now I'm starting to worry about what i got myself into. I grabbed the burger and took a bite, RAW meat inside and a taste that was pure ground pepper and nasty. I immediately said to myself, NOPE! I should have known from the looks of the place but i am a firm believer, you can't judge a book by its cover. After this, i called the place to let them know and the lady on the phone was quick to fix it but i couldn't do it that day. Since then, i have tried on 2 occasions to get this order fixed but they have been closed both times. I'm calling this a complete loss now but i know now i won't be back nor will i recommend this place to anyone.

As someone who has been reviewing for Yelp for a long time, this has to be the absolute worst…read moredining experience I've ever had. I mean that very seriously. On Saturday, 2/28, I came into the restaurant at 6:15pm with a group of 6. Looking around the restaurant, there were only 3 tables taken. The Hostess wanted to put us a table, but it wouldn't fit us all. We asked her where to sit and she told us to decide on seating. We had to suggest to put a table together and started to move it ourselves, then she helped. Just odd because we had no idea if they had a table to seat us. While waiting for the server, the table in front of us asked for to-go boxes and was told they only have the bottoms, no lids. She brought plastic wrap to cover their leftovers. They were not happy and left without a lot of their leftovers. Our service came out and was very sweet. She honestly was the nicest person at that restaurant and she deserves to go somewhere that she can make better money. She told us they only had beer and wine, but only a few on the wine list. Sometimes if it was asked for, they said they didn't have it. I stuck to a Coke. We ordered as follows: Me: Loaded Baked Potato (yes that's it.) Person 2: wedge salad Person 3: cornbread skillet Person 4 and 5 had burgers. One had cheddar cheese with everything on it. The other had everything BUT pickles. We waited about an hour for our food. Person 5's burger came out and the fries were cold. I'm not meaning lukewarm, I mean COLD. Like out a fridge. They hadn't even been cooked all the way. Person 4's burger came out without cheese. Both of those were sent back to get that fixed. Person 4's burger came back with a piece of half melted (what looked like) American cheese on the bottom of the burger and the burger was BURNT. I mean, hockey puck burnt. When the fries were sent back, we could hear the cook SCREAMING AND THROWING THINGS, yelling that we "weren't right" and he "had just took those up". The server even felt them and agreed with us. My baked potato came out hard. I couldn't really even eat it. It was hard, bland and it was covered in sour cream, even the outside. A runner came over to bring some salt and pepper and I asked her if she wouldn't mind letting us talk to a manager. Everyone there said I was polite in asking, as we just wanted to tell her what was going on, not trying to get anything free. When I asked, she threw her hands up in the air, slapped her hips, rolled her eyes and stomped away. The people around us even looked at her. They also could hear the cook yelling. We did see another couple send their food back as well while we were waiting. The manager comes over and when we tell her everything, she tells us she agrees and that she's working on getting better help, as we could see what she was working with there. We just asked her for the check and asked to go. We hear the manager try to talk to the team and the cook begins to scream and talk down to her. Then, he came out and stared at our table. If looks could kill, we would all be dead. The thing is- burgers there are $18. We didn't get anything hard to make but only the salad and the cornbread were fit to eat. They did comp our meal, but we continued to ask them to let us pay. Instead, we ended up giving the money to the server. She can only do what she can and she was so sweet. I do have multiple people who will attest to everything that happened. That was the whole experience. We walked outside and immediately went to get something else to eat. We came to the American because this was our first time in town and we had heard great things about it! Of course, we had seen it on TV as well, so we were very excited. The next night, another couple we knew went there and had the same experience. She was the only table in there and they still took over an hour and her food was terrible. This is absolutely so disappointing. The American used to be THE destination down here but now, it's the one everyone is telling people NOT to go to. We talked to our hotel host and they said they wished we would have asked because they would have told us to stay away. It's a shame. I really hope they can get some new people in there who care about food and making it good! I'd love to come back if they're able to improve and change my review. I do have 5 other people who are willing to attest to this, so as much as I wish it was an exaggeration, it's not.

The first thing I noticed is that they scaled the menu back which was a blessing. I remember before that you had to read a book to get through the menu before. The new menu has a great variety of items and I didn't miss anything that they might have had before. The restaurant itself is fun. Lots of memorabilia on the walls but not in a claustrophobic way. Tables are nice and clean and the bar is beautiful. Everyone looked like they were having a good time. Our food server was nice, friendly and talked to us like we were regulars (loved that). We started out with drinks and we had the Sangria, and a couple of their signature cocktails that I can't remember the names. All were very refreshing. Food: We started out with quite a few appetizers: Coconut Shrimp: Great big shrimps, coating was perfect but I would use a tad more coconut (IMO). Tuna Dip: Wonderful smokey flavor and tasted really fresh and came with homemade chips. Pimento Dip: Oh my gosh it was delicious. I didn't even want to try this one but one of the people in our party likes pimento, so we did. It was sooooo good. I found out it has 4 different cheeses in it and it also comes with the homemade chips. Onion Rings: These onion rings were in the perfect batter. They were not greasy but they were crunchy and they used great tasting onions. I remember the previous onion rings being so thick and greasy I was so happy with the new version. We also had the Spinach Artichoke Dip and once again it was very tasty. Entrees: Pot Roast: So delicious!!! Tender pot roast and it came on a bed of mashed potatoes and cooked carrots and onions and I think celery. The gravy was delicious and they gave you plenty of it. Steak: It was a pretty big steak and very tender. Hubs gave it a 4 out of a 5. Baked potato was loaded and could have fed a family of 4. Catfish Basket: I had never had catfish before and I nibbled on our friend's entree and it was really really good. I give this place a 5 out of a 5 and we WILL be back.
