The American - Bainbridge (GA)

3 /5 Melanie Wagner: Cute place with pleasant atmosphere and very friendly server. That said, I asked for the wings and she said they were out. I then asked for the soup of the day and she said they were out of that too. So I then asked for the loaded baked potato with extra on all the toppings, especially the chives, and she said no problem. The potato had probably been reheated more than once, oxydized, and lukewarm. The side of butter was hard as a rock and there were no chives. When I asked for the chives, she went to the kitchen and came back to say they havent had chives since she started working there. The chicken piccata was very bitter. Probably a good idea to revamp the menu and remove the items described that are no longer used (chives?) and focus a bit more on the quality. One appetizer (the loaded baked potato), one hamburger w/ side of fries, one bitter chicken piccata, and two glasses of water = $70.

1 /5 John Williams: I really wanted to love the food here as I had heard good things, so we stopped in for dinner on 30 Dec 25. Bottom line - the food was inedible. Three steaks were ordered, none were cooked to the temperature that was ordered. They were so tough Im not sure a chainsaw would have helped with cutting them. The cornbread and fries were the only things worth eating, so the dog got a VERY expensive treat with all the uneaten "steak". I paid for the meal, because Im an idiot and didnt want to make a fuss, but its safe to say that I wont be back and wont be recommending this place to anyone in and around the Bainbridge area.

5 /5 wayne jordan: 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.

2 /5 Casey Snyder: I had heard good things about The American, but was very disappointed. We ordered 2 appetizers and 3 entrées The Crab dip was flavorless and the tomato pie was very doughy with 3 slices of tomato on top. The salads were served with croutons that were sweet and tasted like stale scones. The ranch tasted sweet like miracle whip. The steak that was ordered medium was served rare and tasted like white smoke. Our drinks were not refilled and the glasses were small. The zucchini in the pasta dish was not cooked. I searched the fries for one grain of salt and could not find any and there was not any salt or pepper on the table. I dont know what happened to this place that I had heard good reviews about in the past. The music and the booth seating were nice. The building was neat and looks out to the town square. We went on a Friday night about 7:30. It was not busy at the time we were there.

5 /5 Bobby Mayer: 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!
