50 Best American Restaurants near Basking Ridge

“My stay at Delta Hotels by Marriott Basking Ridge was delightful, but the true gem was their restaurant! Forget overpriced hotel dining - this spot offered delicious, affordable dishes that surpassed any outside option. From the serene atmosphere (thanks to the smaller crowd) to the attentive service and delicious food, every aspect impressed. The hot buffet breakfast was a lifesaver - delicious, varied, and budget-friendly. Skip the tourist traps and treat yourself to this hidden gem. Your taste buds will thank you!“

“Best cheesesteaks in Somerset/Middlesex area. Consult with Nick or Maria as to their great selection of cheese, including provolone, Cooper, pepperjack and mozzarella.“

“We made a reservation for 14 people here to celebrate our engagement with family and the experience was incredible!

I reached out to the restaurant in advance to make the reservation and the staff was incredibly helpful answering questions and making sure that the reservation was correct. I then was able to follow up and pre-order appetizers for our group and the staff at Agricola made great recommendations that everyone loved.

Our dining experience was incredible and with amazing service from Marco everyone was thoroughly impressed! The food and drinks were phenomenal which added to the experience!

Additionally Agricola made the night very special writing a card for my Fiancée and I and presenting us with a congratulatory dessert!! I would highly recommend Agricola to anyone and especially for special occasions or celebrations!!“

“Great restaurant bar and art!“

“Great service and the food and drinks were delicious 💕“

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“New Providence Bar and Kitchen was the perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We came for lunch and immediately the staff made us feel very welcome. The menu, from the drinks to the entrees, put a fun spin on familiar dishes—just enough to be unique without deviating too much from traditional favorites. The calamari appetizer with chili peppers and capers was the best I’ve ever had— flavors were amazing. The Parmesan-crusted salmon was also tasty and my wife loved her meal too. A wonderful experience!“

“I’ve been coming to Stone House at Stirling Ridge for many years, and it has always been one of my favorite places in the area. The food, drinks, and overall atmosphere are consistently exceptional.
In the spring and summer, the outdoor patio is absolutely beautiful—especially with live music, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. It’s the perfect spot for brunch, special events, weddings, or simply a great night out.
I especially love their burger, and it’s impressive that they use their own homegrown vegetables—it truly shows their commitment to quality.
Over the years, I’ve created so many wonderful memories here with family and friends. It’s truly a local gem.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience in the Watchung area.“

“Stopped in by accident and discovered a goldmine. Driving home to Connecticut, I exited 287 to take a break from rush hour. Nothing like a Buffalo pizza to calm the nerves. I was greeted by a friendly host. I requested a seat at a high top in the bar area , so I could people watch and glance at the game on one of the many tvs. I had a great server , his name was Todd. He explained the menu and walked me through the various pizza selections. He not only knew the menu , he was excited discussing the food. I ordered a Buffalo Pie, it was unbelievable. I wish I saved room for dessert , because the choices seemed so delicious. Next time I’m going through town I will definitely come back“
