50 Best American Restaurants near Manalapan

“We had a family dinner of five at Angle this past June. It was our first time at Angle (but not at the Eau), and from the minute the valet picked up our car to the minute he brought it back, it was an exceptional experience. Since it was the off-season, it was not crowded at all, which was nice. The soft piano music was a lovely touch. The wait staff was phenomenal, the food was incredible, and the great attention to detail was not lost on us. It was the small things, like the tree stand for the to go bag, the beautiful boxed chocolates that came with the bill, the acknowledgment of our special event, the greeting of “Mr.”, etc. The dining room is spotless, well spaced out, and comfortable. There were several people working, but it never felt crowded or like you were being watched. I only took a few pictures of what we ordered because we started eating immediately because it was so delicious. Lol. We are still sad that Polpo closed, but we loved Angle and will definitely be back.“

“Our waiter was fantastic and the timely service superb!“

“I found this hidden gem while searching for brunch restaurants in Lantana. First time visiting and it was everything I imagined from seeing photos. The staff were friendly - from the greeter, to our server (Dale), and the sweet older lady with the pink lipstick who brought out our food each time (I believe her name is Maria). The cocktails were on point! I had the Razz-a-Rita and the Frozen Libations Margarita in a coconut cup which has the restaurant's name. Ordered it just to have it as a souvenir. The oysters appetizer came as 1/2 dozen and were good. Didn't have a bad taste or smell. The blackened Mahi with plantains and mango salsa was the highlight for me. *Chef's kiss!* Finished off with the chocolate cake - it was very rich but not too sweet. The ambience of being so close to the water, sitting in the shade while light background music played was the perfect Sunday setting.“

“This restaurant is absolutely amazing! From the ambiance to the food, I can't help but admire it. Every bite was a delight, especially the red snapper sashimi, gnocchi, and fennel salad the flavors were truly unforgettable. The atmosphere is so cozy and stylish, you won't want to leave once you sit down. I'll definitely be back; this is a hidden gem!“

“Mission BBQ catered our wedding. The food was amazing! Amanda and her team at the boynton beach location were professional. They were upfront with their costs and reasonable. They organized coordinated and had everything done with the venue to ensure that everything was taken care off and that our wedding ran smoothly. I would highly recommend them for your events!“

“Nice atmosphere, good food and drinks, but absolutely horrendous, and i mean, horrendous, service. Likely the worst ive had in south florida. I refuse to go back. Every step of the experience was painstakingly slow“

“4 of us had dinner at Belle and Maxeell’s Saturday night, May 28, 2022. This was our 2nd visit. It won’t be our last. As before, the food was extraordinary. Unfortunately, as so many restaurants, right now, they were severely short handed however, we truly never noticed. The servers took exceptional care of us. Topping off our meal was THE BEST RICOTTA CHEESECAKE we’ve ever eaten. Thank you Belle and Maxwell's for making my Birthday special.“

“My first experience dining here, read the reviews and they sounded good so decided to book a reservation. Arrived at the restaurant had to park four blocks away parking is atrocious. The hostess was busy talking on her phone, never a good sign. Sat down finally, decided on an appetizer and some entrees the waiter came back and said they were out of the appetizer, started off bad. Very limited fish dishes, ordered a steak dish and a fish dish,nothing spectacular and it was tough we did not say anything to the waiter the whole situation from beginning to end a total disappointment, couldn't wait to leave, actually felt nauseated after leaving after eating my fish with risotto, it was so greasy. Very loud place hard to have a conversation.I don't know what the hype is about this place because the prices do not match the food quality or the presentation. Would not recommend nor would I go back ever. The whole vibe was uninspiring and the atmosphere was just not a good experience or fun. I guess if you're a drinker this place might be fun but if you're not it makes waiting for your entree for 45 minutes more excruciating, was not impressed about anything about this place and I wanted to be. Note to manager find a Hostess that seems like she's interested in seating people and not talking on the phone. I could honestly say I had better food at the gas station on the way into town, the homemade empanadas there were amazing. All I can say to people is beware of reviews you'll get burned I know I have on several occasions. I've run into people who absolutely love this place while I've been in town, wish I could say the same. maybe I was there on an off night but waiting 45 minutes for an entree when three of their tables were seated and served before I was seemed a little strange. the wait staff seem tired and uninspired.“

“I have never had bad meal the customer service is fantastic. The staff goes beyond customer satisfaction.“

“We had a lot of fun, BUT the ball machine was broken, and the above light half out not to mention, they double charged us on my credit card. So BEWARE they charge you at the bay for rental and food/drink when you leave and then ghost charge you later for the bay rental again with the card you reserved with. They don't answer the phones there or call back if you leave a message, so you have to do a dispute with your bank. SO pay attention and CHECK YOUR CC CHARGES Very unsavory business practice.“

“The bar is great... friendly and healthy drinks. It is one of those places where everyone is a new friend.“

“After being a Maryland graduate, I had to check this place out on my Delray Beach vacation. The beer selection/and pick your own format from the coolers was awesome. Pairing any beer with the Honey Jalapeno Old Bay wings and boardwalk fries is a delight.“

“Waterfront lunch. Valet Parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. Lunch menu selection was varied. We ordered Korean BBQ wings small plate appetizer. Surprisingly excellent. Not breaded. Hubby had Caesar salad and loved the anchovies. I had SW salad and it was tasty. Brought home half. We also loved the included house brewed iced tea. Great lunch
I also noticed there was a large group eating as well. Servers were able to easily accommodate all the groups.“

“Outstanding addition to an Order In list and a definite first choice go-to! Some friends wanted to visit another establishment in PBG; I chose the better, cheaper & delicious option! Reasonably priced w/delivery and quick delivery - Bolay Bol WPB has another fan!“

“Great staff! Very friendly!“

“If I could give 100 stars I would. Best steak spot on the Ave. Corey greeted us at the door and Daryn was our server. The food was 11 out of ten. I had the ribeye and my wife had the steak frites. I can’t wait to come back. The food and service was fantastic“

“Bri-- bartender is sweet and on top of everything“

“the best Sheppard pie and chicken noodles 🍜“

“South End is my Cheers. It's real clean food cooked to perfection and the staff and patrons are like a family. I have tried and can not find a better simple breakfast spot and the lunches are innovative and delicious! Not to mention reasonable prices!!!“

“I would highly recommend Table 26. Today was my husband and I first time eating there. The service was amazing and the food superb and delicious!“

“We took my father here for his 80th birthday brunch last Sunday (he loves a good whiskey drink). We sat on the patio. Gary our server was fantastic! And the manager/owner even made it a point to stop by our table and wish my father a happy birthday. We really appreciate how special you guys made him feel! Thank you so much. 💗“

“Raw Macadamia 'Egg' Salad!! This is really quite nice. I ordered an extra side of dressing & got the 'Garlic Aioli' & the 'Maple Miso'. I don't care for the 'Maple Miso'. Overall, 9.2 /10. xx“

“Very great place to dine. The music was great by both DJ's and the food didn't disappoint. If you're a whiskey drinker this is the place to go!“

“This place is a gem! Love the owners, the bartenders and all of the staff - it's a great place to go sit, relax and enjoy a meal.“

“We went to The Grove last night and had a really great dinner! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is really nice and upscale. The food is expertly prepared and the service was quite good too! The only thing that prevents me from giving this restaurant 5 stars are the prices and the portions. Over $40 for a pasta dish with no protein is just a little ridiculous! The portions are small and I left the restaurant still feeling a little hungry even though my wife and I shared an appetizer, we each had an entree and we shared a dessert. As I said, the prices are a little over the top but the food is excellent so at the end of the day, this is a place we will return to. Many restaurants have really become out of control with their prices so certainly not limited to this one. Some highlights were the Ravioli Du Daphine and the Sweet Corn Agnolotti. Oh and the butterscotch pots de creme was an absolutely amazing finish to our meal!“

“Highly recommend Lucille's to everyone, especially if you like ribs!! Great atmosphere, Great service and Amazing food!!“

“Yummy food. Yummy Drinks.“

“Olivia D was an excellent waitress , good service and food was delicious and serving were big!“

“We found Mom’s by accident a few years ago We forgot where we were at the time, however we kept trying to find our way back. We were at Sylvester Cancer Center in Deerfield and had a conversation with a couple from out of state. They said they had the best breakfast and would be going back until they leave to go home. We asked and once they described Mom’s Kitchen we knew we were back. Now six months later we are there probably 3 nights a week for dinner. Missing the diner style home cooking restaurants. We drive from Boca…..it’s so worth it. The food, the service the atmosphere. Wow!“

“Great People Excellent Food highly recommend“

“What a great find! Julie was so friendly and helpful. I had the duck which had been recommended by friends. Absolutely amazing! It's a very small restaurant, so definitely make reservations. Just fabulous!“
