New American Restaurants near Allendale, NJ

“Came here for the first time last weekend, and was blown away. Definitely one of the best spots to eat in bergen county. The space is so well decorated down to every detail, and it is the best mix of cozy and elegant. The service was also top notch. The food was the highlight as it should be. Oysters, polenta fries, and the unique arancini were all excellent. For entree I had the free bird chicken which was excellent. Couldn't reccomend enough.“

“One of the best meals I’ve had in Bergen County. A really elevated dining experience with nice options at every course. The focaccia was great to start with, every single salad was fantastic, I loved the pork Milanese, but the homemade gnocchi was incredible.

Lemon tart to finish was balanced and elegant.

I’m excited to try more things on the menu next time I’m here.“

“Delicious! We had an amazing experience here as a party of 7 (4 kids, 3 adults) to celebrate my dad's birthday. The meats (I had the pork chop, my dad the vineyard chicken) were cooked to perfection....juicy and tender. My favorite part was that the kids meals came with green beans! Finally, something other than a beige kids menu. And no chicken fingers. My kids were forced to diversify, and they loved every bite. They had the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and burger. Great family-friendly option for a classy dining experience.“

“Village Green is our go to date night spot! The food is so delicious, everything on the menu is good, the chef is really spectacular. Our favourites are the short rib, pastas, and soups. The service is also great! I would highly recommend trying this restaurant to anyone.“

“We live a few towns away and unfortunately we didn’t find this place sooner. Food was amazing not what we expected. We thought it was just a bar but it’s a restaurant. It has a unique feel and the service top notch. Keep up the good work.“

“Wow! I was looking for a local byo and stumbled up St. Eve's. I was utterly impressed and so happily satisfied with this place. The hostess was gracious and accommodating, the service was great, and the food was beyond EXCELLENT! This place is hidden gem and I don't know how it was not packed and impossible to get a reservation! Presentation of the food was beautiful amd the chef even came out at the end to ask us how we enjoyed everything. My new fave spot. Go try it, you won't be disappointed: )“

“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.“

“Planned a dinner for my husband's birthday last Saturday. Mars was our waitress. She was attentive and so kind. The manager Sarah provided awesome service to our large party as well. Food was delicious. DJ Blurred Lines played all the hot 🔥 music and classics. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!! Thank you Sarah & Mars 🫶✨️🥂🎶“

“Great food and atmosphere. wonderful staff.“

“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.“

“Briana, i believe her name was. i was in a rush and late for work but she was calm and super nice and helpful. even though she looked super busy, she still maintained professionally, which is really hard to find nowadays. i will definitely be coming back to this location!“

“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 :-)“

“We had an amazing dinner at Sage-Staff, food and service was the best of the best!!“

“I have been coming here for years. I consider myself a good cook but when I need good food that I don't have to prepare, this is my go-to place. The staff and owner are great! Try the stuffed peppers, Chicken Milanese and Lasagna. OMG!“

“Get a swimming, pool and poolside service lol 💦🍽️🍋“

“The food tastes delicious. I think if the place is called Gyro it is reasonable that they cut the meat from the gyro in front of you. However that is not the case the gyro meat is in a container just like in a cart in the city. And to be 100% honest, considering that I paid over $15 for a platter with a Coke and it is served in a plastic Tupperware with plastic fork, at the very least the portions should be bigger. It is not the case, not a lot of rice, not a lot of meat, not a lot of salad. I think I would go more often otherwise.
However the taste is there and it tastes pretty good.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Tucked-away Gem!
My husband and I stumbled across this small grill diner hidden in the cut — and what a find! We stopped in for brunch and everything was spot on. He had the shrimp and grits, and I went with the meat lovers with egg whites. Both dishes were so good — seasoned just right and cooked perfectly. The food was delicious and the service was just as excellent. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy spot with quality food. 👌🏼“

“Went to Dog house yesterday. Found out the chef left. 😩 Food definately proved it. used to Love the cheesecake sandwich, but not today. Way too much Wostishire that overpowered the sandwich and steak sliced too thick. Very disappointed! And the very young bartender was very disappointing also. only 6 people there and not very responsive or knowledgeable!“

“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!“

“Coolest bar in the area, the regulars are some of the best“

“Great menu and quality food“

“Burgers. Good. Good company. Good service“

“Great place. Food and service are awesome .“

“The restaurant is nice but small and it is popular, so their time management doesn't work very well a specially for a bigger group of people. We had to wait for 30 min. But the food was good, solid 4 star on everything. Special dishes are nice just pay attention to the price.“

“Great little spot in Ridgewood not to be overlooked. Super friendly and attentive service. Smiling staff who genuinely seem to like each other and enjoy their work. Healthy, tasty food. Exceptional coffees and teas. Sometimes hard to get in since it is so small, and that’s the only downside.“

“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.“

“We had a private party at Cafe Panache and it was perfect! The food was incredible and the staff were so kind and helpful. Javier planned every detail with me and he delivered on every promise. You can not go wrong coming to this restaurant for a meal or special event!“

“Chef Melissa Mak is amazing. We’ve been dining at The Front Porch regularly for the past 12 months and not only is the food creative and delicious (Asian fusion pub food, so YUMMY!), the staff is super friendly and the drinks are awesome. We’ve had almost everything on the menu and you won’t be disappointed.“

“Wonderful food and amazing hometown warmth!“

“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!“

“The staff from the waiters to the Bar tender to security were awesome outstanding work, outstanding customer service. I will continue to go there and dine and have drinks at the bar and I will refer other friends and family to come to the Hilton in Pearl River.“

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

“Seasonal menu rocked!! Try the Manila clams!!! Superb fries and decent sushi. The filet was very tasty. Unusually limited sauces for the prime meats, but the creamy horseradish worked great. Plenty of good wine options. Totally forget you’re in a restaurant attached to a Courtyard Marriott!!! Looking forward to the next visit.“

“great food and comfortable atmosphere“

“I’ve had Jamaican food before, but NOTHING is as delicious as their food! Curry chicken fell off the bone, perfect amount of curry. My husband was very pleased with the food too! This place is amazing!“

“So so so good! Amazing quality and delicious flavors! I love that you can order in DeliverZero containers instead of single-use! Everything was so good but I’m most amazed with the tenders! The chicken was juicy and delicious and didn’t seem to be super fried and didn’t have a ton of breading, allowing the chicken to really shine 😍“

“I was near Goffle Grill last night so I had to stop by and visit Tony the owner. Of course the food was great. I wish I lived closer I probably be there several times a week. They have a pretty big menu and it's never disappointed.Nice people, good food, please support them.“
