50 Best American Restaurants near Bloomsbury

“Today I stopped into your establishment to grab a early dinner. I was immediately greeted by your server, I believe her name was Crystal. I was surprised that at 3 pm your establishment was pretty busy. What I was even more surprised at that it appeared that she was the only one serving. For as busy as it was I was astonished at the hustle my server exhibited. Mind you with a smile at all times. It was quite remarkable. As a professional in the service industry, I can honestly say that you truly are blessed with a diamond employee. My meal was exactly what I wanted. I will highly recommend.“

“WOW drove a half hour to come here and when I pulled up, I was not expecting much. But then you walk inside and it’s not what you would expect !!! This place is amazing on the inside and the food is FAN-freaking-TASTIC!!!!! And our waitress was the nicest server I’ve ever had. I will be here ALOT more!!!“

“Great location and spectacular view for plane taking off and landing.“

“Food was lovely and delicious. Very pretty atmosphere. They're portions are appropriate for a hungry man. Grace, the lady that served us, was full of great local knowledge and solid recommendations of other good spots to check out. 🤘🤘🍻“

“My three year old daughter and I went for lunch last week. It was such a treat! I ordered the delicious fried mozzarella (out of this world!) and had the chicken taco specials while my daughter had chicken tenders. Yummy!!!!! For dessert we had pumpkin pie gelato and the birthday cake cupcake. To die for! I highly recommend!“

“The staff are all kind, helpful, accommodating, and genuinely there to make your evening perfect. Chris the hostess was wonderful, as well as the many servers who all willingly supported Gary, the owner, to provide the best service and culinary experience possible for his dinner guests. The menu is one of the best we have seen in the area with many international dishes, some with the labor intensive Indian nuances, and others just with downright phenomenal flavors. Although they have lots of standard fare for the UNadventurous eater, I would suggest you reach past your comfort zone and try some of the appetizers that jump out as potential winners...like the tuna tartare that with just a splash of Japanese Rice wine vinegar would be one of the best I have ever had, as well as the grilled Tandoori shrimp that is marinated in yogurt, ginger, cloves nutmeg, and dried mango; the grilled lamp chops that come with three perfectly grilled meaty garlicky chops that come with mango chutney, and the Haryali chicken Tikka- three huge plump boneless breast of chicken slices that are marinated in mint, yogurt, roasted cloves, green cardamom and star anise, and served with their famous tiger sauce and salsa. We also shared another marinated shredded beef dish special that had three beef croquette-shaped mounds that had such a umami of flavors I can't even replicate it in this review, but we thought it was just great. I would be remiss if I did not mention the creamy, silky crème brûlée that we enjoyed with a glass of Prosecco; a perfect encore to the phenomenal culinary treat we had just experienced with the appetizer medley. Sharing many apps is more fun we think, than committing to one big entree, so we suggest that you dash over to the Pittstown Inn TONIGHT, and tell them Debbie and Gene sent you....ask to meet Gary, the owner, who elegantly floats from table to table, touching each to greet them and to check later on as well to see if everything was to their liking. A true host from days gone by, this owner is the real deal whose passion for the hospitality business emulates from his constant smile from the joy he is getting from making his guests happy. You see that what fuels this man to keep opening his doors from year to year, despite the many hardships and setbacks life has dealt us all over and over, is his love for you, his loyal customer. He is a rare find, so I suggest you go and treat yourself to the real deal in dining. You will not be disappointed, and be sure to ask to meet Gary. He will make your visit complete. Kudos the phenomenal chefs I met as well, for their expertise and genuine ingenuity in designing a menu to please everyone. Can you tell we LOVE this place??????????“

“Their restaurant is good and Store has most of what you might need ; however have stopped hy several times just before closing and they are closed . If they are going to close at 750/755 instead of 8, why not list that as the hours ?“

“I really enjoyed their Ginger peanut salad. I had one of their fresh out of the oven pretzel dog, Yummy!! Good food, great folks working there and a wonderful town“

“I DJ'd a wedding there this evening and it was absolutely phenomenal. The grounds and the building were beautiful, the staff was helpful, experienced and had great energy, the food was exceptional, and everyone truly had the best time! I made an 8 hour round trip and can confidently say that I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Very highly recommend!“

“Celebrated Fathers Day … Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was fabulous, spoilt for choice. Drinks menu was very good. We will certainly return.. Thank you again for making Fathers Day special..“

“We just had our wedding at the Farmhouse in March 2025. It was absolutely amazing! We worked with Gina and she was awesome! She was organized, answered all our questions, and made everything run smoothly. We were very confident our special day was going to be perfect, and it was! We loved the modern rustic feel, had our ceremony indoors in the Silo, and all of our guests raved about the delicious food! Cocktail hour and entrees. Our signature drinks were super yummy too. My bridal attendant Nina was also amazing! She was very attentive and sweet, checking on me throughout the day and night, making sure I was ok and had everything I needed. I would highly recommend the Farmhouse!“

“My wife and I stopped in last weekend. Noticed that there was soft shell crabs on the menu never seen it on their menu before had to try. I am very picky about this. They were one of the best I ever had not deep fried, sauté in butter, garlic, and white wine fantastic we will definitely go back.“

“We had a fantastic dinner Saturday night! Our reservations were right on time and the Service and Food were absolutely awesome! Thank you Red Wolfe!!!“

“I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce the name of this place, but I can tell you it's pretty good regardless. I came here with two of my OG chums this past Saturday for an early dinner (a little before 5 I think), on a deceptively nippy night. We made a very last-minute reservation (as in we were down the street walking over when we did it) but were easily able to secure seating. The restaurant was pretty bustling throughout our meal so if you have the ability to make a reservation more than two minutes beforehand, I would do it. This is a popular one right now.

I've driven by this building countless times but I think this is the first time I've been inside it (it's relatively new so it's possible I was in whatever business was here before years ago). It has a pleasant interior; kind of rustic but also some obvious homages to France on the walls, etc. - what else would you expect in a town literally called Frenchtown?

We split the brie en croute app, which I liked a lot. My only quibble is that I would have made the berry coulis denser to compete with the brie a bit better, but overall it was a refreshing way to start the meal. I didn't build up quite the appetite I was hoping for from metal detecting in the afternoon (which is one of the many negative consequences of a drought), so I went a little lighter than usual on the entree with the almond-crusted cod. It was tasty but presentation-wise? Eh. It's not really a fish you can "crust," if that makes sense, so the optics are a bit chaotic. It's more like a pile on your plate, which you can see in the attached photo. I did like the fact that the lemon sauce was on the subtle side - the citrus family is not one of my faves and it's often an accompaniment with seafood dishes, so I was pleased it wasn't the dominant flavor. Super flaky and loved the texture of the rice.

The service was excellent. Not only did we not have to wait particularly long for our items to arrive, but our waiter was very friendly and nice. I was accidentally under-dressed for the weather so I ordered a hot chamomile tea (very rare for me), and one of my chums also asked the waiter to pick a tea for her. I have a chum who used to work in the service industry who told me to never order hot tea from a restaurant because it's incredibly annoying for them to prep, but my argument would be that if it's on the menu, all bets are off. Regardless, I think in this day and age it's relatively easy to make - we watched the guy literally just use a hot water dispenser and put the tea bag in. Was definitely the right choice on this particular evening. Anyway. He was also knowledgeable about the menu and had specific opinions about certain dishes; one of my friends ordered the salmon entree and he immediately commented that it was his favorite.

We're always interested as born and bred creatures of the Kingdom of Hunterdon what the overall clientele in a restaurant looks like. In a tourist trap like Frenchtown, it's not unusual to go into an eatery that's full of out-of-towners squealing about the Delaware River or something. This was a very nice mix of both tourists and locals, which can definitely be a difficult balancing act. Given the bougie options on the menu, I thought this was priced competitively to allow for some of the nearby residents who might not be sporting boat shoes and polo shirts to wander in to sample the wares as well.

Wasn't blown away but overall this was very solid.“

“I always bring my friends and family to State Cafe! They have the best pancakes and the menu has something for everyone.“

“Highly recommend! Great menu options and reasonable prices.“

“It's Applebee's. The food is ok, presents well, but is chain food. it hit the spot for me and the kids after Dorney Park. Kyra, our server, was very nice. The apps took longer to come out than it should. Overall, you will be fine as long as u don't have high expectations. It checks the value hunger box well. For 4: $135“

“Good food. Great service.“

“Amazing food and great service. Everyone is like family there.“

“We come from New York City just for a jakey and a crab sandwich. My dad told us to stop and try the food. I was hesitating eating in a gestation. Omg this is far beyond that! It was amazing. I have cravings for their food. Anyone we know that will be passing it on their travels we urge to stop there. It’s our favorite little place. The staff is also really friendly. I like that I can see the kitchen also. Awesome spot!“

“I really do enjoy coming here when I can! The food, atmosphere and drink have always been great. I have always found the staff to be pleasant and helpful ☺️ If you're in the area check them out!“

“Seems like it could be a fun spot. Had a personal pizza, pretty good!
Got there just as the music stopped..6 pm?
There was a dude doing one handed wheelies on his Harley......pretty impressive (but the owner/bartender didn't like it for obvious reasons).“

“Excellent food, excellent atmosphere! This place takes the ordinary tavern to the next level with their creative food and drink menu. It was my first visit but not my last, definitely check it out!“

“When we visit my daughter, we usually end up having dinner at the Washington Diner. They have large portions and nice staff. Varsilli does a great job managing the place, and the very friendly Gina did a great job waiting on us. Try the Washington Diner, you'll like it.“

“As a wedding and event planner I'm always looking for a unique and beautiful venues. Durham Springs checked all my boxes and more! Owners, Dan and Ian, have taken this dated property and transformed it into my absolute go-to for events, especially weddings. The grounds are lovely with ponds, swaying grasses and rolling hills. I absolutely love the flexibility of the ballroom. Beautiful views, flexible lighting, high ceilings, tons of natural light, neutral floors, walls and chairs make decor a joy. You can create any vibe you want in this space with ease. Dan was lovely to work with and exceedingly patient in providing many changes in floorpan due to the never ending Covid issues. He was also genuinely excited for my bride and groom and took joy in seeing their vision come to light. Many other venues are quick to tell you all the things you cannot do. Dan made sure that our requests came to life, and then some! His creativity was much appreciated. The food was delicious and served in a lovely, imaginative manner. William, staff captain, kept the wait staff running efficiently throughout the evening and Melissa, Durham's on-site event coordinator was responsive throughout, taking special care of several specific needs that we had for the day. Needless to say, my bride and groom were thrilled with choosing Durham Springs for their VERY SPECIAL day!“

“Food, Guinness, and service was great as always!!“

“Food is delicious 😋 Also have some great music on the weekends!“

“Awesome People and Food and fun playing pool“

“This deli is my go-to spot! Their tuna salad over romaine with peppers, onions, olives, cucumber, and feta is absolute perfection—fresh, flavorful, and always made just right. The service is fantastic, and the staff is incredibly friendly, making every visit a great experience. Highly recommend!“

“Love this local restaurant! We started with the Marble Hill Saison and Smoking Gun. The Patty Melt with fried Brussels sprouts and Bacon Cheddar burger with Belgian fries were a hit. We definitely need to visit Two Rivers Brewing more often.“

“love it here, always a great time!“

“It's difficult for me to rate Rivals as high as I am because before everything else, Rivals is LOUD. I'm not holding that against then, though, because if you're looking for a loud sports bar in Easton PA, this is most definitely the place to go.Televisions line the walls, I think all but one had sports on, I believe one had a music show.The food is exactly what you'd expect from a sports bar, specialty burgers, specialty fries, pizza, wings, etc. It's not special food, but it's far better than basic.The restrooms were clean, but you can't tell because they haven't been updated since Zenyatta Mondatta was released.The bartender was waiting on us, and she listened to our slightly one-off drink orders and provided them exactly as expected. She was more than patient and polite with us add it was our first time here.Prices are fair... You're at a sports bar and $13 burgers with $1 2 wells and $7 beers are normal now so here we are.The other customers were just there to have a good time. Good people in a good atmosphere.If you want a loud sports bar in Easton, come here

Vegetarian options: I think there was one single vegetarian option on the menu

Dietary restrictions: I don't eat pork, shellfish, or mushrooms and it seems like all of those things are trending right now. I picked some things from the menu and asked if they could be prepared accordingly and they did so without hesitation.

Parking: Parking in Downtown Easton isn't much better than parking in Brooklyn or Uptown Manhattan. 98.236 chance you're going to be walking at least 2 blocks. Just don't fight it, head to the city parking garage and chalk it up to inflation. Your lucky of you find one on the street, but if you do, snatch it up immediately.

Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't bring my kids here, but there's nothing X-rated. Nothing even R-rated. It's an adult atmosphere.“
