50 Best American Restaurants near Bloomsbury

“Food: 5 pancakes, two scrambled eggs, bacon, and orange juice. I feel like 5 pancakes for one person to eat but I was able to take the remaining two as to-go! It was hot and fresh.
Service: Yes, it's a seat yourself. It could take some time for someone to bring you the menu and take your order. Like, 10 minutes to 15 minutes wait. However, the customer service was excellent.
Atmosphere: I liked the window booths as I could enjoy the natural light and view what's going on outside while enjoying my meal.
I tipped because how pleased I was during my visit. I'm an OTR driver from Memphis, TN. I'm going to save this place on Google maps so I can visit again.“

“always have great service and food“

“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!!!“

“Best breakfast ever! It’s always worth the drive. It’s difficult to decide from all the amazing options!“

“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??????????“

“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!“

“I love this place.. I have been 3xs in 3 weeks.. Very nice staff!“

“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 ?“

“When you find a place that makes you forget everything else, provides a terrific meal with great employees, you have really found gold. Top that with the upper management being supportive and reactive if you need to speak with them and you want to share that with anyone who wants to listen. The leadership addressed an issue with the kind of response that I have not seen in many years. It was refreshing, to say the least. You won't go wrong. From the front desk to the beautiful rooms, the amazing attentive wait staff to the quaint and welcoming bar...do yourself a favor and escape to the Golden Pheasant. Linger and enjoy. Marie F“

“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“

“Breakfast is delicious and the staff is so nice. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“My husband & I had the corn beef & cabbage meal with soda bread. Corn beef was so tender & tasty & the soda bread was yummy. We loved it!“

“First off, the establishment was very clean, and well put. The customer service was also really good, you can tell a lot of locals come here. The steak and cheese omelet and the Mexican omelet were delicious. I'd definitely recommend visiting if you're nearby.“

“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..“

“Had a great time with family and old friends. Food was very good. Service was good too.“

“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.“

“I cannot recommend this venue enough. The property is absolutely breathtaking, and the Silo and Grand Ballroom are stunning. We got married outside near the gazebo and had our reception in the Silo and every guest I talked to mentioned how beautiful the Farmhouse is. The Silo is by far the most unique and beautiful room I’ve been in for an event. Most importantly, everyone kept talking about how delicious the food was! Our guests raved about the cocktail hors d'oeuvres and their dinners.

As a bride, I thoroughly enjoyed working with the event planning team and day-of staff. Gina and Liz were an absolute pleasure working with. They were so helpful in answering my questions, giving advice, and making sure the day was a success. My bridal attendants were fabulous too. Myrna made sure everyone got what they needed in the morning, that everyone was fed, and that the mimosas were flowing. Lorraine was a godsend for the afternoon. She was by my side throughout photos, cocktail hour, and the reception and helped wherever she was needed. I need a Lorraine in my day-to-day life. Finally, Monique was amazing and went out of her way to make sure everyone got what they needed. She also took special care of my grandmother and made sure she got a drink when she needed one and tried every cocktail hour dish.

All in all, the Farmhouse was the perfect place to get married. Several of our guests said that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to as the food, the staff, and venue were fantastic. I would choose the Farmhouse over and over again.“

“The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and efficient. Beautiful place and would highly recommend!“

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

“Enjoyed a truly delicious veggie/gouda omelette here. Their breakfast potatoes are shredded, crispy, salt and peppered to perfection—best we ever had. The bacon, perfection. We’ll be back!“

“Good food. Great service.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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).“

“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!“

“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!“
