New American Restaurants near Allendale, NJ

“Had a wonderful anniversary dinner. Food was excellent and the live music was great. They just so happened to play our wedding song which was perfect. My husband and I had the tuna tartar and scallops as an appetizer. The scallops were over this creamy sweet corn chowder with corn salsa and croutons - it was amazing and the best scallops I’ve ever had! Tuna tartar was delicious too. My husband had the pork chops with this mustard crust and eggplant sauce and I had veal milenase with an arugula salad on top. Both were really delicious meals. The veal was huge and definitely could have split that. Even though we were so full, we still managed to get the yummy Pineapple cake and hazelnut chocolate mousse for dessert.“

“Always have a delicious meal! I get the same thing, the trout, which I love! My husband gets the pork chop or salmon. We especially enjoy the caymus wine flight. We always leave room for dessert! Service is always great. Yesterday the manager Jerry, introduced himself and saw that we also go to Season's 52 in Boca. Nice to speak with him.“

“One the best if not the best restaurant in Bergen County. The cauliflower appetizer is outstanding. I had the sole veronique. Perfectly cooked and incredible. My wife had the chicken Milanese and the chicken moist, not greasy in the least . Definitely recommend it.“

“Good food and very friendly“

“We threw a drop-in Buffet dinner for family and friends at Houlihans for 30 to 35 people. The room is spacious and accommodated everyone comfortably. Our server Eileen was excellent and the food was delicious. Michelle who assisted with the catering was very detail oriented and help me plan a great event. Sebastian the manager as extremely gracious and helped ensure our guests were taken care of. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend..“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“From start to finish we had an amazing meal. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious and imaginative. Beautiful ambiance too.We have had a perfect dinner every time we have been here and can't wait to come back!“

“Wow, what a great restaurant ?
This was our first time here and we were blown away with how wonderful EVERYTHING was.
We went here for the wife's birthday and they had set up a special table just for the two of us.
Whoever designed the decor did a great job with the colors, etc. They made one completely forget about the surrounding neighborhood. While it's not a bad area, it's just not really picturesque by any means.
Wonderful fresh rolls and a super pesto spread started the meal. Next I had a mushroom soup to die for and definitely unlike any other I have had before.
For dinner, my wife had the pork chop which was delicious and cooked perfectly. I had the short ribs with a light brown sauce, mushrooms, spinach and mashed potatoes, which was great, to say the least.
We shared the First "mounds" which was vanilla ice cream, dark chocolate and coconut and should not be missed. Lastly I want to mention that the waiter and the rest of the wait staff were all courteous, accommodating and very professional. We felt that they were among the best we have encountered in our area by far.
We will definitely be dining here again in the coming weeks and I would suggest that anyone living in Bergen county or northern NJ should do the same. EXCELLENT ?

Parking: Parking in the back lot or on the surrounding streets.“

“The Windsor Bar and Grille is phenomenal. A must if you're in the area!“

“We have eaten at St. Eve's before, and we are never disappointed! On this occasion, we enjoyed a special appetizer of mission figs with goat cheese wrapped in bacon (yum!) and had entrees of salmon and pork chop. The salmon was served with mango/avocado chutney, asparagus, and fingerling potatoes; the chop was served with delicious sweet potatoes and a maple/apple glaze. Service was amazing, too.“

“The people that work here are pretty friendly especially the ones that work the night shifts.

Only down side is that the prices are pretty comical if you are used to regular food prices. The owner has jacked up the price of fat sandwiches by almost $5 in within the past 2 years. I shouldn’t be paying $20 for a simple foot long sandwich that has a few fried foods in it.

Maybe have a student special meal as most of the business is from the High-school down the street.“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

**A Hidden Gem in Fair Lawn!**

We recently dined at Sage Restaurant and were absolutely blown away by the experience. Despite having moved away years ago, the staff remembered our names, which made us feel incredibly welcomed and valued. The service was exceptional, and the food was nothing short of spectacular.

We took advantage of their two-for-$60 offer, which provided an abundance of delicious food. We started with the Prince Edward Island Mussels appetizer, which was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The side salad and chicken soup were delightful preludes to our main courses.

For our entrees, we had the Honey Roasted Salmon and the Tuscan Ragu. The salmon was the best we've ever tasted, with perfectly roasted vegetables that complemented it beautifully. The Tuscan Ragu was off the charts phenomenal, rich with flavors that left us wanting more.

To top off our meal, we had the Peach Bread Pudding. Despite not being fans of bread pudding, this dessert won us over completely. We cleaned the plate and discovered a new love for bread pudding.

If you haven't been to Sage in Fair Lawn, I highly recommend you check out this gem of a restaurant. We've never been disappointed in all of our visits, and if we hadn't moved away, we would still be frequenting Sage regularly. The owner is very hands-on, and the staff is exceptionally nice. Five stars all the way!“

“hands down the best place! beyond 5 stars from food to staff.....Francesca and Junior were beyond exceptional bartenders! Food was excellent.....Absolutely love everything about this place“

They are very generous with their portions and I appreciate that very much!! I’ve had my mom and boyfriend join me for breakfast a few times and they love it too!“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

“Banchetto feast is one of the best Italian restaurants in the Hudson valley. The owner and staff are all very friendly and offer incredible service. The food is absolutely delicious with huge portions at a very reasonable price. Me and my family love coming here.“

“Nice beer selection for a small local bar. Burgers were big and delicious. Service was excellent. Took some time to get our food but it came out hot fresh and delicious, so it was totally worth the wait. I'll definitely come back for a burger and beer again.“

“We are at The Burger Loft on a Friday night. it was very busy, but the service was good and the food was outstanding!“

“Excellent, a close place to grab halal food. Tried gyro and falafel platter. Rice was cumin forward, gyro lots of flavor and falafel crunch but soft on the inside. Falafel is spiced a little bit differently, not overly vegetal. White and red sauce available too. Will be go-to lunch place. Prices are average but portion is decently sized. Dining tables inside too.“

“I love everything about this place! The food is outstanding and the staff are amazing! Shout out to Christa, who is the soul of the place, and Cory, who goes above and beyond (crayons & paper for my little one). The cafe is a second home to me :-)“

“Stumbled upon this gem and haven't looked back, since before covid, during covid and to this day! My favorite pub, I recommend all, never disappoints! Love the ambiance, love all the wait staff especially Theresa, feels like a visit with a friend! We go all seasons but especially love the deck in warmer weather! GO, you won't regret it!“

“The food is very good. I love the appetizers and the Greek salad! When there’s music, the bands are great. The staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“Just Janice, what can I say? Awesome environment great service, fabulous food, and the best. It’s a BYBO, especially for brunch Ali and her mom do outstanding job of cooking and servicing their clients. The staff is respectful and always attentive. If you’re in Hohokus stop by Just Janice. You won’t regret it breakfast Lunch or dinner but brunch on Sunday is the best.“

“Reservation was at and we didn't leave until 10:30. Our dinner took long but that was ok. After that it was like the wait or left - had to ask for our check, then had to find someone to give our credit card to. Food always good though but last night took way too long.“

“Now that’s a burger! Best burger in Jersey I’ve had. So big it’s almost impossible to take a full bite but what a dream. The burger patty is juicy and they serve plenty of variations some with Cheetos, jalapeño poppers and even with pepperoni. The wings are just ok but don’t even waste time with that just head for the burgers oh and they have good good fries. 10/10 will definitely come back for more. Meat lovers is a must try.“

“My experience at Fire and Oak is amazing!! Fire and Oak as well The Oak House have the same food but the staff were very nice at both restaurants. For dinner, I usually order a cheeseburger, french fries, spinach dip, and spicy tuna rolls for the table. Great restaurants in Bergen County.“

“Burgers. Good. Good company. Good service“

“Just an overall great atmosphere! One or two more items on the menu would be nice; and the fried calamari were more like baby calamari. But overall a very nice place. Enjoyed the live band and great customer service.“

“Best place in the city! The wings were excellent and tasty! They also had these cinnamon doughnuts! They were delicious!!!“

“Good option for creative menu“

“Javier Martinez is such an excellent waiter. Perfect timing for each course, tremendously charismatic n kind. He gave us such great service! The food is absolutely amazing too! Everything Ive ever eaten here has been very flavorful, cooked perfectly and extremely fresh. All of the staff do a really great job. -“

“Bridal shower, decor is stunning, food amazing“

“Wonderful food and amazing hometown warmth!“

“I had an amazing experience at Sky Restaurant thanks to Eddy, the bartender. Eddy is incredibly skilled and friendly, making every drink with precision and flair. He has a great knack for remembering regulars' favorite orders and always goes the extra mile to ensure everyone is having a good time. His cocktail recommendations were spot on, and he made the atmosphere lively and welcoming. If you're looking for a great night out, make sure to visit Eddy at Sky restaurant! you won't be disappointed!“

“We have been shopping here as our main grocery store pretty much since it opened. While it is a smaller Whole Foods, it tends to have a good stock of a good variety of items, both fresh and packaged. It is generally clean (with one exception, see below) and most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is an Amazon Locker here, so you can get your Amazon packages delivered to this locker, do your shopping, and then pick up your package all in one trip. There are a two issues I very much wish they would fix. For one thing, the restrooms are consistently not clean. This is a suburban store and doesn't get the volume of customers that an NYC store gets, but they don't seem to be able to keep the restrooms in good order. My other issue has to do with what they choose to stock in a couple of categories. The first is orange juice. I always look for organic orange juice not in a clear container (so as not to compromise Vitamin C). I just want organic orange juice in an opaque container the way it comes -- not pulp-free, not extra-pulp, not with Vitamin D added, etc. They never stock this. My other stocking issue has to do with ice cream. They have all kinds of interesting flavors, several kinds of dairy-free options, etc. but I just want a pint of premium, organic vanilla ice cream, straight up. This can sometimes be found but often they don't have it on the shelf even though they carry all kinds of great brands that would offer it. If only this store remedied these two issues, they'd be five stars for sure!“

“Jimmy and Bernice work the wee hours of the morning to make everything fresh every day. From the Friday corn beef hash for breakfast ( sells out early) to the best fresh burgers. Homemade soups. While I worked in the area I ate lunch there every day for about 40 years. Miss eating there they made you feel like family.“

“I love this place Incredible food“

“Stopped by Goffle Grill today for the first time. Friendly attentive staff. CASH ONLY. There is an ATM on site. Decent amount of parking.

Nice varied menu, good prices. Of course, I was there to get hot dogs, LOL. Two with mustard (for my son), two plain, regular fries and curly fries. Very good deep fried Thumann's franks on white rolls. Very tasty. Fries were cooked perfect.

They have Pepsi products.“

“The staff were all so very kind. They came to wish my husband a happy birthday. Our waiter was patient and funny. Both of my kids were in a terrible mood until they ate their food which was amazing (skirt steak and Caesar salad with salmon), so that perked them up. My husband and I had scallops which were perfectly cooked and very tasty! Last, everyone ordered a yummy dessert and ate every last bite (puddin', pannacotta, and cheesecake - everything was tasty). Definitely love this place!“

“The brunch and the twin waitresses where amazing. I can’t wait to come back“

“Amazing experience every time! White Maple Cafe offers a perfect blend of cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and outstanding service. The menu has a variety of options, all made with fresh ingredients and presented beautifully. The coffee is top-notch, and the pastries are always a treat. The staff is friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Whether it’s for a quick coffee or a leisurely brunch, White Maple Cafe never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great cafe experience!“

“Such a delicious lunch that was so welcoming after a weekend of eating & drinking Shared the pizza with my two cousins as a starter and had the seasonal salad. My only sadness is that this is an hour away from my house that I won’t be able to frequent more often“
