50 Best American Restaurants near Closter

“Our dinner for Indian Food Night was amazing! Every course was varied and a take on Indian classics like I have never tasted. The Lamb shank was to die for and Rice Crusted Halibut was unique and so flavorful! As always the staff was super friendly and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. I especially loved the entertainment which was guitar playing and singing by Taylor. So good! It was a magical evening! Chef Ben has outdone himself!“

“Great atmosphere with tons of space. Super welcoming and laid back you can casually pop in without feeling any pressure. The hot dog hit the spot, but the tea options were a bit lacking. It’d be awesome if they expanded their food and beverage menu. Sitting inside while it rained was super cozy, and taking in the view right after the rain stopped was the cherry on top. Definitely a place I’ll be returning to!“

“Great waitstaff and management! We’ve driven past here so many times and Stern & Bow is always packed! Food is 6+ stars!“

“Farm Cafe
40 Old Hook Road
Closter, NJ 07624

Homemade Hibiscus Iced Tea
Farm Burger

This country style cafe is located on the Abram Demaree Homestead farm. This building has been around since 1700s and was formerly a general store and tavern.

All of the menu items are freshly prepared in house using organic ingredients directly from the farm.

These are a couple of the lunch menu items I explored:

Homemade Hibiscus Iced Tea:
This herbal beverage has a reddish color; its appearance is different from an original iced tea.

The drink was very refreshing with a slightly tart taste.

Farm Burger:
This ounce angus patty includes lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and a secret sauce. I also added yellow American cheese for a $1 up charge.

I cannot identify the ingredients of the secret sauce, hence the name. It was really tasty and I requested a small extra cup on the side for dipping.

For the most part, this was a tasty burger. Next time, I will request to have the patty cooked medium well because I feel a well done burger compromises its flavor.

This cafe also serves as a farmers market; they sell grocery items such as homemade honey and farm fresh eggs. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. I highly recommend dining in so you can take in the country atmosphere.

“Everything was so delicious the first time I ate there. I recommend going there all the time“

“The food is really good. My go-to is the quinoa salad with grilled chicken or the grilled cheese with tomato soup. The salad is very refreshing and delicious and the grilled cheese with tomato soup just warms the soul. Their drinks will do what it needs to do lol. The staff are super friendly, the atmosphere is chill, relaxing and they have an outside area too. 10/10“

“i’m here to tell you the hype is true. The burritos are so freaking good. The sauce is immaculate. I always ask for extra sauce. My favorite is the sausage burrito and the bacon. I usually get both and eat half-and-half and split it with my partner. lol

It’s so good please support local!!!

I usually travel all the way to Brooklyn for a similar type of burrito (santos) and I’m so happy to have found this gem uptown nyc!! (no pic because burrito was inhaled)

**back again, this time for lunch and the tacos were so fresh and delicious!!!!“

“I had a fantastic experience here on Beekman Ave. Everything we ordered arrived perfectly prepared and tasted delicious. The burger was served in a fun checkered paper basket and the crispy fries were seasoned generously with fresh green herbs.

We finished the meal with a decadent slice of chocolate cake topped with a perfect swirl of frosting and a side of ice cream. It was a wonderful treat. I cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.“

“Great staff and food. Coming back for the evening music too!“

“I played here for Blank-Fest 2022... great room! Great Staff ...Great Fun!!!“

“I have been coming to Munno’s for over 22 years. I have never had better penne vodka and I travel extensively gobbling up food in different states and in Europe. The staff is always friendly and willing to take an order for a tray of penne vodka to be ready for us the same day. My family is now obsessed with Munno’s as well!“

“just ate at the burger shop, great burgers, delicious fries and wonderful service! would definitely eat there again!“

“We had a fantastic dinner at Sweet Grass tonight. The food was perfection and the service was impeccable. Our first time here, but will not be our last.“

“Wait staff was friendly and you were not pushed to finish dinner. We had the shrimp po' boy and the grilled ribeye open face steak sandwich. I asked for my French fries to be extra crispy and they were delicious. After driving for almost 5 hours, sitting in rush hour traffic and construction, this diner made our day and on a really great note.“

“Quick service and good food!!“

“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 🫶✨️🥂🎶“

“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.“

“great local spot love it here“

“FANTASTIC. This small but cozy breakfast nook was poppin on Saturday morning! I loved the hustle and bustle. We were sitted fast, greeted fast and the food was hot and just as quick!“

“I've only eaten there once, but I can see myself visiting again. Service was very good, and friendly. The "Alvin" Grilled Chicken Sandwich was tasty, though the Chicken was a bit chewy. The French Fries were very good. The menu looks very ambitious, and I look forward to trying their other offerings. The bathrooms are tiny, but clean! It's a safe bet that you'll get an enjoyable meal at Strawberry Place.“

“Local spot with such a good vibe - family run. Not many places left like this and soon will be extinct. Good food - the burger with bourbon onions - oh my gosh!!! Hidden gem here! You feel so welcome the moment you arrive. Not accustomed to this today…. Hurry and enjoy before all these places are gone“

“When my brothers were kids, they would stop to eat at Hiram"s on their way back from Palisade's Amusement Park. My mom would always ask why. My brothers replied, "the food is better at Hiram's! When I worked for Thomas J. Lipton in Englewood Cliffs, my co-workers and I went to Hiram's for lunch often. I plan on going very soon! I so love Hiram's for the food and it's longevity.“

“Hands down some of the best Jamaican food I’ve had around here. The flavors are on point, everything tastes fresh and well seasoned just like it’s supposed to. You definitely get your money’s worth and then some. I left full and still had some to take home“

“If you're ever craving a taste of home, this is the place to go. From qofte, burek to sheqerpare, everything is super delish and tastes just like back home. The owner, his wife and the whole staff are amazing too. They treat you like family the second you walk in. Can't recommend it enough!“

“My wife and I arrived in Tarrytown for a family wedding too late for lunch and several hours early for an 8 pm welcome reception, so along with my sister and her husband, we decided to go out for some light eats to hold us over. The receptionist at our hotel recommended Pete's Saloon.

We loved it immediately.

The vibe was a step back into the past. In a good way. It's a welcoming place -- the kind of local bar and grill where regulars gather for good food, good friends, cold drinks and (from the looks of the drum kit set up in the back of the room) some great live music.

As for the food, it definitely hit the spot. My wife had a bowl of french onion soup and I had the fried chicken sliders with a tangy Korean BBQ sauce and tater tots. My sister had the baked potato soup while my brother-in-law had the fried chicken sliders with Buffalo sauce. The beer was cold, our server Kim was intentive and friendly and the experience was a great start for an enjoyable weekend with family and friends!“

“Delicious food, inexpensive and comfortable environment!“

“Went with friends last night. Everyone said their dinners were delicious! The service was great and it was a treat to see our favorite bartender, Lucy. Looking forward to going back soon. Highly recommend!“

Michael is the best owner in the world I ever met - so fun to be around and cares about the community. Jason is a very fun and friendly bartender and Stephanie and the serving staff always make it feel like you belong.

“Tarry Tavern for dinner: Mom had Seared maine sea scallops with local corn and leek risotto and I got the roasted Hudson valley duck breast with pecan cranberry wild rice and sunchoke purée. Unreal. Mom cleaned her plate at a restaurant for the first time in ages and mine was to die for. We shared the pumpkin pecan bread pudding for dessert. Outstanding experience with excellent, friendly service“

“What a wonderful experience we had at Seasons52 Paramus. We had some of the most delicious food that I can remember. Firstly, our servers Tlijah & Jennifer were so professional in every possible way. They truly set the stage for a great dinning experience. We were fortunate to meet Sandra the manager who was equally cordial and professional in every way possible. Our experience was just that good. I would not hesitate to recommend this fine location. My wife and I will be loyal customers. Try this location once, you will not be disappointed. Barry“

“Louie's On The Avenue has been our favorite local restaurant for years ..however last Friday Stephanie and her team knocked it out of the park! with 24 hours notice, they helped plan, decorate, cater and Host our impromptu wedding.
