    Americano is fabulous’. The burger is amazing. The carrot cake was decadent! Briana was our server and she was super, very attentive! Carter County is lucky to have such a nice restaurant!

    My group of four enjoyed our visit to Americano. The food and service were excellent. The prices were reasonable. Making the reservations were easy online. Our only complaint would be the noise level. It was a full house and it was difficult hearing our companions. It would be nice in the future to see the owner install some ceiling noise diffusers. Otherwise, we loved our visit.

    The lady working the front at the cash register was very rude and condescending. The worst problem though was they added 7.00 to their tip without my permission.

    We enjoyed our meal, although it was pricey. I had the salmon and spinach and my husband had the Hawaiian rib eye. Suprised at the cost of the rib eye. We came from JC so it was a nice drive. We will probably return but make our order less expensive.

    It was our first trip to Americano Steakhouse and definitely not our last! After passing the restaurant dozens of times and after learning they had been voted as having the best steak in the area, we decided to give it a try for dinner. The Hawaiian Ribeye was definitely worth the hype, so flavorful, tender and done to perfection. We finished off dinner with 12 layer chocolate cake to-go at home. It was sheer chocolate indulgence. The staff was very welcoming, service was fine. The only thing negative was the the loud talking amongst other diners, but definitely a wonderful meal!

    Steaks were ok, not much flavor and not very tender. Greek salad was great and baked potatoes and asparagus were very good. Rolls were cold ask for hot ones but butter never melted. Service and staff were very friendly.

    We would return. The rolls were fantastic as was most of the meal. I would not order prime rib again as all three were over cooked. The peanut butter pie was not my favorite. We still don't understand the alcohol situation. Overall for the area this is a good place.

    Great addition to Roan Mountain area! Not too far away from other cities ~ and nice for locals. Surprisingly Great ambiance and great dishes to choose from at a very reasonable price! (Check website) My husband loved the Prime Rib, and I thoroughly enjoyed my Grilled Chicken Fettuccine Americano! A good selection of great little sides available as well~ neighboring table said the seafood pasta special was awesome! Well worth going! We will go again and take friends! (Beer, but no liquor yet, but an ice cold Stella or two topped it off well with us!)
