Pictures of American Bistro taken by user

Chef Kenny and his staff are the best! Always consistent. Always friendly, courteous and professional. Hands down one of my all time favorites.

Still the same after 20 years. No need to change a thing. Can't go wrong with the stuffed pork chop or rock shrimp arrabiata. Be sure to get the layered potatoes.

First time at American Bistro. Best dining experience in years. Dined with a party of four and all meals were excellent. Particularly enjoyed that many of the fish entrees could be served in your choice of several different sauces or preparations. Generous portions and polite attentive service. From bread to dessert, everything was outstanding.

The stuffed pork chop was very good! I've never had anything like it and I highly recommend. The brownie sundae was also good for dessert. We were there for Easter and they had a good crowd of people. We didnt have to wait for a table but it was still full which I thought was surprising.

Only tried 2 things there so far. The chicken pecan was so good I had it the next 2 times I went. 2 people and I'm a big guy had enough to take home for lunch and they packed up some anti pasta for the dogie bag. Can't wait to try some other menu items.

One of my favorite restaurants around. Not only can you get half dinners , to save room for dessert , but the chef is amazing. The bar is so comfy. I love this place. Highly recommend the pecan chicken. A+

Great Food, A ton of it! & Great Service, expect a lesurely dining experience. Plated antipasto to start, great bread, huge menu. Wines and drinks are very good and reasonable. Kenny has been cooking dinner for us for 12 years and we keep coming back. 😁

Seriously generous portions. Food cooked to perfection. Our waitress was very attentive, pleasant, friendly. Too much to eat in one sitting. Wine selection is great, 50 wines to choose from.
