Best American Restaurants in Cumming

It was everything! I took my honey and son there on a date for Valentine’s. We drove 53 minutes to get there. We wanted to try a few things so we ordered: chargrilled oysters, the crab dip, and the chicken bites. I also ordered the beet salad. As our entrees, we had the blackened grouper, broiled seafood platter, and my son had the burger. I know, it was a lot of food but everything was delicious. Even the drinks!

The only place I could get a reservation on the morning of Valentine's Day - phew! The singer in the lower level was loud but when seated upstairs it was quiet enough to talk comfortably. The giant pretzel was amongst the best I've ever had and the cheese sauce with it was also great. The buffalo chicken dip was short on chicken and a little bland for my taste. The salad was fresh, but the brisket was dry. All in all a very casual brew-pub kind of atmosphere. Good beer on tap but no production on site - this is banned for the future. Don't expect fancy decor or extensive menu, but people are great and the food was overall solid.

Our usual dinner spots were booked for Valentine's day. Tin Cup had 2 tables left for the time I was looking for and I'm very happy we booked. The restaurant itself has a modern yet cozy feel to it. The noise level was perfect. Bustling, but not overwhelming. Our server greated us and informed us that the bar and kitchen were running a little behind, but we weren't in a hurry since we were there to celebrate Valentine's day. We ordered drinks and studied the menu. We ended up skipping appetizers, but the wagyu meatballs and the thick cut bacon were tempting. My wife ordered the 8oz filet with a baked potato. I ordered the 12oz NY Strip with Broccolini and we ordered an extra side of crispy brussel sprouts to share. Our food arrived relatively quickly, our waitress asked if we would like a tutorial on how to finish preparing our steaks. This is where Tin Cup is different. The steaks arrive to the table seared, but each diner then finishes cooking their steak to their liking on a lava stone. I used the steak knife to slice my strip on the wooden cutting board and then placed the slices on the lava. When each piece was finished I was able to use a butter knife to cut the steak because it was that tender. My wife's filet was just as good and we both agreed the steaks were among the best ever had, and we've been spoiled by eating at some of the best steakhouses in Atlanta and Nashville. The sides were all perfectly executed and ample portions. Once you figure out how to navigate the cooking and eating, this restaurant is well worth checking out. We plan on putting it on our regular rotation.

We sat outside on the enclosed patio and it was very comfortable with heaters (even in February). I had the Grouper and my husband had a Bleu cheese crusted steak and both were delicious! Zade was our server and he was very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend!

We always have fun here! They are generally decorated to celebrate something. Right now it’s an Apres Ski theme. Very cozy! Last night the service, food and drink were all excellent. I love the mussels and the fried seafood appetizer. Great night!
