50 Best American Restaurants near Newport

“Went to breakfast this morning after learning it was Greek owned a few weeks ago. I brought my girl's father who is visiting from Greece. we were hoping one of the owners would come over and say hello. George ordered eggs, toast and Canadian bacon which is his favorite. I had a Greek omelette. Both meals were fantastic as well as our friendly server.“

“TY for accommodating our party of 18 on a Saturday… Your fried calamari was so yummy, the flight of soup was a brilliant idea for someone who’s undecisive to be able to sample 3 different cups, my crab cake was so amazing - I’m drooling just thinking about the jumbo lumps of crab chunks!!! By the way hubby & I noticed the American Psycho decors right away as we’re huge fans of the book & movie. Last but def not least, the service was great even though there were 18 of us with some loud kiddos.“

“Fun spot for one person at the bar or bring your coworkers and have a private party like we did! Chloe was a great server and with the team at The Engine House they made our night on their second floor playing golf, eating n drinking a great night!!!“

“My wife and I went for the first time while visiting from Ohio. We loved the atmosphere and the food. The beer selection is spectacular. I cannot recommend the lingonberry ice cream enough, that stuff is amazing.“

Even after a few years, the food is delicious as ever! Overall it feels like maybe the niche selections have gone away, which is a bit of a shame, but what remains is as delicious as ever.“

“Beautiful 😻 Place to have lunch with friends and family“

“I haven’t been to DE in a while. Tonight I had a surprise night off so I asked my son if he’d like to have dinner. He recommended a new nice looking restaurant, Roost Kitchen & Pub. I checked out the reviews and was pleased. We had a party of 4 and Ashley was our waitress.

Her recommendations were A1. I ordered the cheesesteak bao bun snack and salmon with broccoli entree. My son and his friends ordered roost burgers with fries. He also got the sweet potato fries with a “marshmellow” dip (delicious). I ended up ordered an additional to go.

I ordered an herbal-sweet mocktail, very good. Clean bathrooms, industrial/city aesthetic black/brick with clean lines, and phenomenal service. We watched a few basketball games and enjoyed ourselves. We’ll definitely be back.

A very nice night back in DE, thank you for your hospitality Ashley!“

“we love Cafe Americana. we are there at least 2 or 3 times a week. the food is fresh, portions are big and we can't say enough about the team there. they are like our family. I really feel like we are home when we come in every time.“

“Best food ever. Everything was fresh. Service was great and with a smile. Loved the live Jazz to! Will definitely be back soon.“

“I’ve always loved Columbus Inn throughout the years and highly recommend it for quality fine dining and a quaint enjoyable atmosphere. And the front deck is an amazing spot all year round.“

“The Back Burner has a gem in Patty. The food is always dependable, and the wine list is surprisingly reasonable for some good quality wines. I think all of these things contribute to the restaurant's staying power in Hockessin.“

“Had lunch there today, everything was great!“

“We love this place and everything about it, the food, the service, the atmosphere is laid back, no rush, no hard sell on the crème brûlée.“

“Meghan’s was busy when we arrived. Breakfast was brought out to us in minutes after placing our order. Waitress very pleasant and fast. Bacon 🥓, sausage, coffee and eggs were good. Personally I can make way better French toast. Highly recommend Meghan’s. We will definitely be back.“

“I came to Metro Diner this morning off the humbug. I was starving & was craving some chicken & waffles from somewhere close in the area. Surprisingly the chicken was very seasoned and crispy. The waffles were also very tasty and soft. The strawberry butter mixed with their signature hot sauce was also pretty good. Alicia was my server. She was such a doll :) Her knowledge of the menu is impeccable and she took very good care of me. If you are in the Newark area and would like some tasty and quick diner food, go there & ask for Alicia <3 Thanks Alicia will be there again real soon !“

“Lettie's fried chicken is absolutely world class! All the sides are homemade and excellent, desserts, too!“

“I had seen their 4.8 rating on google maps for several months. I was a little skeptical. I was happily surprised how good Appleby's was. Let's remember it is a gas station. I am pretty sure it was a husbadn and wife team working. Good taste and amount for price.“

“Had a wonderful Dunch at Snuff Mill today. Fabulous food, ambiance, and service! Shout out to Dorrie. I was able to get in at 3:30 but starting to fill up as I was leaving around 5pm on a Tuesday!... Definitely make a reservation for dinner! Some outdoor seating with heaters but also saw lap blankets.“

“Our second time here and we love the food and laid back ambience. Everyone is always friendly and we enjoy the 80s music!“

“If you want the BEST COOK THE BEST WAITRESS THE BEST FRESHEST SALAD THE BEST MAC & CHEESE BEST LIVER GRAVY AND ONIONS ALL FOOD Surrounded by the CLEANEST area around IT IS here!!!“

“Went, for the first time, to eat here today. My friend & I both had the black bean burger. It definitely surpassed my expectations & was incredibly delicious. My friend got the sweet potato fries & was very pleased. We will definitely make it back here as we frequently go into Kennett Square. Thank you for a very pleasurable lunch. Keep up the great work !!!“

“This is by far the BEST cafe I’ve been to so far. Everything is a 10 for me especially their bagels, I haven’t been able to find a better one since I’ve tried their asiago bagel 😌 keep up the great work guys!!!“

Can’t wait to stop by and enjoy the deliciousness! 🍔❤️ #SupportLocal #BigMikesGrill #QualityFood #CommunityLove“

“I absolutely love the charcoal pit. Been a customer since I was a kid. But what is up with the new French fries?? The fries that you always had before were way better and perfect rather than these new godaweful things. Please change back to the original ones. These SUCK 🤢🤮🤬😡“

“Yummy. Breakfast so good,“

“I would normally recommend Six Paulpers, HOWEVER, last night's service was terrible. Not sure what the problem was. We first waited for quite awhile for a waitress, so we just went to the bar to get our own drinks. The waitress shows up, we order our food, and it took quite awhile to get to us. My husband got the French dip and fries, I got the cheesesteak egg rolls. The FFs were cold, greasy and had no taste. My egg rolls were burnt. I sent the FF's back, and asked to see if the chef would like to look at the FF's! She goes OK, but the chef isn't in, just the sous chef! And that was it! 🤣We had to go to the bar for another drink. We finally saw our waitress again for us to ask for the bill! Hope this was just an off night!😬“

“Used uber eats. Food arrived quick. Portions are huge!“

“Clean restaurant with fast service and delicious food! I have a severe food allergy which makes it hard to eat at most restaurants. However, they were very accommodating and we had the best server, Amanda, who made sure I was completely comfortable and taken care of. She was so kind, fast to answer my questions, and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend eating here during your stay and be sure to request Amanda ☺️“

“Very nice and friendly owner and staff. Food always delicious 😋 Very clean cozy environment 👌“

“We decided to go to dinner at Firebirds. I had been once and was not impressed; however my husband had never been there. I have to say the food was good. Cooked exactly the way we wanted. The only draw back we had is the portions of food that you receive for the price that you pay. We felt like we were robbed. We don’t over eat so when I say we had small portions, we really had small portions. The dessert was even small portions for the price that you’re required to pay. The five very thin layers of lemon cake were good but the slice was very thin for $10.25. Out bill was $76.30 for two and I would have no problem if we had an appetizer and alcoholic drinks but there was none of that because we don’t drink. We each had a soda because the lemonade was too tart. The server was very pleasant and on time with everything. We tipped her well as we should have. Not sure I can return there. A little more light would be appreciated if I did return.“

“The food never disappoints. We always stop on our way to Longwood Gardens. I would give them a 10. If you like a fun and great wait person, ask for Serene, wonderful service.“

“Went to dinner tonight with my family at Applebees in Glasgow and we had Ronia as our server! Absolutely amazing experience, she pays so much attention to detail, asks all the right questions and if you're hungry don't worry that food is coming out fast. I have been to Applebee's and service is usually really good today with Ronia service was EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!“

“Came for breakfast and glad we did. Good food, good service and the prices were way less than waffle house or iHOP.
Definitely will be back on mornings that are relaxed.

Vegetarian options: Breakfast items that are vegetarian.“

“Truly a wonderful little diner. All the menu items you can expect from a typical diner. There are plenty of vegetarian options but would not recommend for vegan or gluten free customers.
The staff was so nice and friendly. The atmosphere was very welcoming. They have a lot of regulars and it is very cool to see all the interactions between the staff and the customers. Such a great atmosphere.
Food was good. The scrapple was really tasty! Eggs were cooked well and loaded with cheese. Grits were delicious. All of the serving are of heaping size. Coffee is fresh and tasty and unlimited refills.
Prices are unbeatable.
Really enjoyed eating here and would recommend to anyone looking for a good breakfast spot!“

“Wonderful trip to Greenville, great vibe and atmosphere!“

“Authentic Pennsylvania Dutch / Amish-style comfort food
Rebecca’s Dutch Kitchen is a hidden gem inside Booth’s Corner Farmers Market. The food is homemade, hearty, and full of traditional Pennsylvania Dutch flavor, just like real country cooking.
Everything tastes fresh and made with simple, quality ingredients. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming—exactly what you expect from a traditional market kitchen.
If you’re looking for authentic, comforting, no-frills food that feels like it came straight from a family kitchen, this is the place. A must-stop when visiting Booth’s Corner. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Fun but challenging track. Beautiful property. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Good burgers, grilled sandwiches, hot Italian sausages, pulled pork, etc. Sit up at the counter on a barstool or grab a table on their small cafe dining area. Attached is an ice cream shop for hand-dipped bowls, cones and milkshakes. Service is quick and the waitstaff here are down-home-diner friendly.“
