50 Best American Restaurants near Denville

“Great waffles and home fries.“

“We had such an amazing experience at The Second Half on Main this weekend. We called for a reservation for 7 people on a Saturday night, and they were beyond accommodating. They took us in just 30 minutes before closing and never once made us feel rushed, which honestly says a lot because most places start stacking chairs and spiritually evicting you the second the clock hits closing time.

The food was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We ordered French onion soups, a Caesar salad for the table, calamari, and everyone got different entrees and drinks. Every single thing was delicious. Not one complaint from anyone at the table, which for a group of humans is basically a statistical miracle.

Our waiter Mike, aka “Buckets,” was incredible the entire night. He never stopped moving, stayed on top of everything, and still made time to go around wishing other tables a Happy Mother’s Day, which was genuinely very sweet to see. You could tell he was working his ass off, but he never stopped smiling and made the whole experience even better. Another gentleman helping him named Matt was also fantastic and super attentive.

We will 100% be back and honestly cannot wait to see everyone again. We’re even considering using them for our friend’s bridal shower this winter because the service, atmosphere, and food were all that good. Highly recommend!“

“First time using American BBQ and they were amazing! Everyone said how good the food was and the spread they provided was amazing. Brendan at our event couldn’t have been more professional and helpful! We can’t wait to use them again for another event. Thank you for making everything so easy from the first communication, to the last!“

“Breakfast was so so delicious! Staff were all amazing, super kind and attentive. I will definitely be back!“

“A Taste of Ireland 😋 does NOT disappoint!“

“Absolutely! They made a wonderful dessert table for my daughters 6th birthday. We had a donut cake, and additional donuts on trays for desserts. All different flavors, and they seperated any containing nuts for my guests. They delivered it locally for us! THEY WERE SOOOO GOOD! THANK YOU!“

“Alway's a great experience, great service“

“Bensi of Denville has been our go to spot the last few nights. It’s been awhile since we are there. Sangria was excellent along with the Chicken Saltimbocca. Very clean and they are wearing their masks. Excellent!“

“Great experience, good music , good vibes ! Eddie the bartender was amazing. Can’t wait til it’s warmer to go back“

“First time stopping in. The food was great. And the price was very reasonable. The place has great atmosphere, clean & so much to choose from. Staff was super friendly. Especially Brooks, who went above & beyond helping us try decide what to order. I'm not kidding when I say everything looked so good. He kindly gave different suggestions. He took time to explain different options, what they were and how they were made. Any questions or requests we had were met with nothing but kind responses. Will definitely be back!“

“Heard about the new place in Madison yesterday..had to go..double Italian dog.. crazy good..as good as Jiimmy Buffs and I grew up in Newark .. food coma later! $12..“

“Agricola is another gem in the Harvest Restaurant Group. Having been a guest of the Grabowski family for decades, I can attest to the fact that each and every one of their eateries is synonymous with the highest quality of gastronomy. Each time I try one of their places that I haven’t been to before it’s like being a kid on Christmas Eve. They use the highest quality provisions with which their expert culinary staff prepares taste bud orgasms. What particularly strikes me as regardless of the location that you’re lucky enough to visit everyone on the team is excited to be there and takes ownership. This speaks volumes about this families culture. Hopefully you appreciate and take the opportunity to savor their wide variety of libations. I guarantee you will enjoy yourself. Treat yourself and your family and get to one of their many locations today. God Bless America! Gof Bless Blue and Gold! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!“

“Celebrated my moms birthday at Tabor Tavern today. The food was amazing & the atmosphere is gorgeous in the fall, but what was spectacular was our server Dianne. There were 7 of us in our party including a 3 year old and she anticipated our needs every step of the meal. We would recommend going here for a date night, family dinner, celebration, holiday party etc.“

“I wanted to take a moment to recognize our waitress Bea for the outstanding service she provided. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we sat down. She anticipated our needs, made excellent recommendations, and handled everything with professionalism and a positive attitude. Bea’s attention to detail and warm personality made our dining experience truly enjoyable. It’s clear she takes pride in her work, and her exceptional customer service deserves to be recognized and appreciated. The manager Alanah came by as well to make sure everything tasted good and asked about our day. Great place to eat and chill at.“

“We dine out several times a week and try many new places, but we keep coming back here, and for very good reason. Delicious flavors, each dish is a treat for your taste buds. The presentation is impeccable, and the service unmatched! A truly family owned and run restaurant. Their passion and dedication to their craft really shines through. Not just amazing restaurateurs, but great people!“

“The service is great and so was the food. Our server Dania was very polite and checked on us while we ate to make sure that we had all that we needed. This is IHOP is my mother's favorite place to have breakfast at.“

“They handled our son's graduation party and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. Quick setup before and the food selections were all fresh and outstanding. Would absolutely recommend them!“

“We held my mother and her twin brother’s 75th birthday in the Patio Room on Friday evening. Everything was perfect. The food was wonderful. Everyone was stuffed! My favorite was the shrimp and scallops, my husband’s couldn’t get enough of the prime rib! Jonathan and his team took such great care of us. He was so attentive. I have no idea how he remembered what everyone was drinking because we were getting up and mingling, but he managed to make sure everyone had a drink in their hand. Being next to the pizza oven when it was below freezing made it so cozy! I would absolutely recommend Cinders; a great time was had by all.“

“Great place to be great people“

“Charming place, beautiful space inside open and airy. Great food made delicious with fresh ingredients. The menu is varied with lots of great options. They have lobster, steak, fish such as chillean sea bass, salmon, fresh rainbow trout. They also have great salads and entrees. Service was nice too. Reasonably priced given the taste, setting and fresh ingredients. Easy to access from route 10. Recommend a visit!“

“THE BEST HANDS DOWN! Wouldn’t be Morristown without!!!“

“What a cool place! Tons of food options to choose from. Took me a while to place my first order not having ever been here before so I made sure to take home plenty of take out menus for my next order. The atmosphere was very inviting and welcoming. Can’t wait to try all the different items“

“Lovely place with a warm staff and delicious food!“

“I never ever ever ever feel obliged to review restaurants. There are hundreds of reviews that speak and echo anything I would say about the delicious meal I enjoyed. But what is compelling me to post this was truly the regarding the service I received here. It brought me to tears!!! Patricio and Dylan were the most considerate, kind, attentive and understanding waiters I have ever met in my entire life. After dining in the tri-state area my whole life, exploring cities like Chicago and LA through food, I’ve been conditioned and numb to lackluster waitstaff and typically take the approach of trying just to avoid them spitting in my food, but Patricio and Dylan completely floored me in their attention to detail, knowledge, and service that showed me exactly what good waiters could be. Living with GI issues and intolerances, I consistently feel like an inconvenience at restaurants and that the entire responsibility of making sure I don’t fall ill after dining is based on how I modify the menu and pick around my plate. EXCEPT here at Rails with Patricio and Dylan, I had the first care-free dining experience in my life, their thoughtfulness allowed me to be truly present with my family, enjoy the wonderful food being served, and just live in the moment, which is so important to me. Dylan was explicit in the detail of every dish and always helped me navigate what was coming around and being served. Now, back to the tears, when I subtly mentioned in passing to Patricio that I couldn’t eat dairy and couldn’t partake in the birthday cake, he brought me a delicious sorbet flight, unprompted, just so that I could feel a part of the festivities. I can’t wait to go back to Rails to see my friends again. - Emily R. Sartori“

“I have had two bridal showers at Portofino in Oak Ridge, and not only did everyone love the food, but Nancy and the entire staff is outstanding. They go above and beyond to help you in any capacity that they can. I highly recommend Portofino either for lunch, dinner or any kind of event you have whether it is big or small. You can't go wrong with Portofino, I can't say enough great things about the staff and restaurant!“

“Love this spot, I've been here probably 30 times in the last year or so. Sal and his staff are always friendly and do a great job, and their bacon (or taylor ham) egg & cheese on a roll is amazing. Great coffee as well - highly recommend!“

“Brandon was one of the best bartenders we've had . He was courteous and very attentive to our needs , and gave of great service. I give him five stars !“

“Ordered one their meals for take out. Great service, great price and great food! Will do again when they have something that looks good to us!“

“I’m so glad we finally have a healthy spot nearby! I tried the chicken avocado spinach wrap, and it was absolutely delicious. It was super filling but still felt light afterward, not heavy or greasy at all, which I absolutely loved.

The owner and staff were incredibly sweet, welcoming, and friendly. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the quality of their food. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Fitness Grill to anyone looking for fresh, healthy, and tasty food!“

“We stopped here on the way home from MA to PA because I searched for an added stop in Google. We weren't sure about it at first because the parking lot only had a few cars , but then again, it was 2:15pm.
We were greeted warmly by Tony and one other gentleman and seated in a comfortable booth. Our server, Tony, was friendly, helpful , and obviously cares about their customers happiness with their service.
There was a great variety of food available on the menu, and the prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes. In addition, music was quietly playing in the background
I highly recommend this diner if you are passing through the area .“

“We needed a reservation for a pretty large group. Multiple restaurants in the are would not accommodate. I called Miller's Ale House and was able to speak with a manager who made the reservation for our group. 2 months later, we arrive, the manager was phenomenal! The service amazing. The waitress, the best! The food- zero complaints! I highly recommend this restaurant. They absolutely nailed it and it made a huge difference in our evening! Thank you!!“

“My son and I had a nice meal this evening after a tough lax loss. Good was very good. Nice to be back in Morristown. Thanks you for providing a nice experience. Our server was excellent!“

“Great bonding with fam while enjoying our bubble tea!“

“My husband and I went for my birthday lunch. The food was excellant and so were the drinks! We could not have asked for a more polite and accommodating waiter“

“The Tavern was able to host our post-funeral luncheon on just a few days notice. While they don’t have a private room their space was nicely laid out to accommodate our party of around thirty. We chose a limited menu and everything was very good with the pot roast beef getting especially high marks. Special thanks to Carol and her hard working staff who made this event stress free for my family.“

“Had a great experience with Davidovich Bagel Cafe. This is exactly what you want from a local bagel spot—fresh, high-quality bagels with that perfect texture and flavor.

I got the sausage, egg, and cheese bagel, and it was excellent—simple, classic, and done right. You can tell everything is made with care, and the consistency really stands out.

The staff are friendly and efficient, and everything feels very well-run. The owner was also a pleasure to talk to, which added to the whole experience. The art on the wall adds a nice touch to the atmosphere and gives the place extra character. It has that classic neighborhood feel with lots of regulars coming in, which says a lot.

If you’re looking for one of the best bagel spots in Madison NJ or the surrounding area, this is definitely worth checking out“

“Favorite local bar! The boneless wings are the best!“

“yes the America staple the best i love this place“
