American Grill | Bold Barbecue & Burgers in Exeter

American Grill in Exeter delivers bold, flavorful southern cuisine straight to Northeaster PA with slow-cooked barbecue, juicy steak burgers, and a casual, welcoming vibe. This standout barbecue joint is the vision of Shaun Cruz, a NEPA native and Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef who spent over a decade traveling through the South to master the art of low-and-slow barbecue. His passion for authentic southern flavor, homemade dry rubs, and signature sauces shines through every dish.

Now partnered with local business owners William and Billy Pambianco, Cruz has built more than just a restaurant—they’ve created a dining destination that emphasizes quality ingredients and attention to detail. American Grill serves up tender smoked meats, fresh salads, satisfying wraps, and some of the best burgers in the region. It’s a spot where classic American comfort food gets a bold southern twist.

The friendly staff and laid-back atmosphere make American Grill ideal for families, foodies, and anyone craving serious flavor. The dog-friendly patio is a favorite feature in warmer months, and the menu offers something for every appetite.
