50 Best American Restaurants near East Rutherford

“Service was very fast. Although I did not like my plate today, I am a fan of Mr. Samuelsson for a long time and I'm sure I would have enjoyed something different. I had the shrimp and grits which included a chorizo sauce. They poured an overwhelming amount on top and I couldn't taste the cheese grits. It was just way too much sauce.“

“Great place to eat and you can get a view of the skiing area! The burgers look near impossible to finish, but it can be done and the price is pretty good for its size and coming with fries. Our waiter, Christian, was so awesome and did a great job serving and making us feel welcome, we would return again specifically to sit in his section“

“When my vehicle broke down and had no money left after getting a hotel room, I was unable to afford food and gas and this place gave me free meals and some money for gas and was very kind.“

“Great place to eat for a cheap nite lol food is good and fast“

“If I could rate the service 10 stars I would. Victoria was the absolute BEST waitress I’ve ever had at a bottomless brunch experience. She consistently checked in on us, and I truly had the best birthday ever with 10 of my closest friends. Despite being a larger group, we felt cared for and attended to. It was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better day because of Victoria“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“Nudibranch was incredible. Food, cocktails, vibes and service were all genuinely 10/10. The crab tteokbokki was one of the best dishes we had all trip.

The whole team was so warm and welcoming, and you can really feel how much they care about the overall experience. A very special spot. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Lingo was the perfect choice for a special celebration. I brought my daughter here and the night was great. It’s a beautiful space, genuinely warm and personable staff, and excellent Japanese-inflected food with a creative twist.

We did have one miss: the ribs were too fatty for our taste. But here's where Lingo service stepped in. Without any fuss, they took the dish off the bill and were so gracious about it. That kind of hospitality is rare and says a lot about how they run their restaurant.

Everything else was delicious and the vibe was just right for a celebratory dinner. I'll absolutely be back.“

“The produce served here was bursting with flavor. In fact, the vegetables were some of the best I’ve had at any restaurant. The meal wasn’t particularly protein-forward, however the chicken and fish received the same level of attention and execution and were equally delicious. Already anticipating my next visit!“

““Had a great experience at Lindens Restaurant. The food was fresh and full of flavor, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the staff was very welcoming and attentive. Service was quick, and everything was presented beautifully. Definitely a nice place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Highly recommended!“

“One of, if not the best dishes I’ve had. A unique take on a grilled chicken, that makes it stand out on its own. A complete meal, from appetizer to dessert. The beverages were also of top quality & taste. I could ramble on but just know that you can taste everything they put into it and worth the price. Visited from Texas from seeing their YouTube video. The chef came out to speak with me. Very kind encounter.“

“Best pancakes on the eastern seaboard! Absolutely delicious maple butter! It’s the best breakfast anywhere in the world!!! 🥞🧇🥓🍁🧈🦋👐“

“A truly memorable brunch experience. The rooftop setting is stunning, with elegant décor, beautiful natural light, and a relaxed atmosphere. The perfect place to enjoy a leisurely brunch and take in the unique ambiance. Highly recommended.“

“Food and service was excellent. Service was out of this world. Can't wait to go again“

“After a cold and windy morning, not being able to get into one of the morning shows, we ran across this little restaurant by accident for brunch. They quickly welcomed us in with open arms and fresh hot coffee. It was one of the best brunches I've ever had, but what made it even more special was Joey the owner overheard our story, knowing we had a rough morning, and gifting us one of his comfort food cookbooks! The day couldn't have been any better. I can't wait to try one of his delicious Italian recipes this holiday season. I highly recommend the Little Owl. I certainly will be going back in the future!“

“The warm, casually elegant atmosphere features beautiful lighting and a relaxed yet refined vibe, creating a special ambiance without feeling stuffy. The food is thoughtfully prepared using excellent seasonal ingredients, with the roast chicken and squid rings standing out as highlight dishes. The wine list is impressive, offering many great options by the glass. Service is knowledgeable and attentive. The total cost is around $20-30 per person, including wine. This place is truly a neighborhood gem in Tribeca!“

“Really Nice Restaurant i Recommend The Odeon Restaurant 😊☺️“

“What a treat to stumble upon Parker & Quinn! It was an intimate atmosphere and a perfect night for me and my 10-year-old daughter. The kids’ menu was so good (the pasta was homemade and so delicious that I had to enjoy a few bites!), and my margarita flatbread was incredible. Great service from our server and another gentleman (the manager?) who came over multiple times to check on us. I highly recommend you check this out if you’re looking for something away from the hustle and bustle and generic nature of Timed Square. Chef’s kiss!“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“Impeccable service. The hanger steak….❤️“

“Waiter was extra kind and friendly!! Meal was delicious. Thanksgiving away from home. Atmosphere very nice.“

“Super unique and delicious maple praline brown butter pancakes! More cake than pancake. The wait was not long to get a table and the service was prompt, professional, courteous, and didn’t leave us in want of anything. All of our needs were met. Food was prepared much quicker than expected and was all very good! I would definitely recommend this!“

“Absolutely loved this place! It's classic NYC vibes and fits so well. The food was outstanding and for as hard as reservation were to get it was not overly expensive on the food side! Drinks were up there but nothing surprising for the city.
Absolutely get the burger and make sure you get the peprcorn sauce with it!“

“I love Brindle Room. It's a consistent spot with great service. The burger is phenomenal and so is the french dip. Also, their espresso martini has chai bitters in it?? So good, and I've never had to wait.

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“We absolutely loved this place! Don’t hesitate, go straight for the $69 tasting menu. You will be filled up completely and also get to experience a wide variety of unique and delicious flavors. And don’t forget that the menu even includes two desserts, which was a wonderful surprise. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was both cozy and welcoming. Highly recommended!“

“This place is an absolute must-visit! The food was incredibly delicious, and the portions were generous. The appetizers, main dishes, and desserts were all exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.“

“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!“

“From our first steps to our departure, everything was AMAZING. This saturday evening was out last in NYC before returning to Montreal and The Smith Midtown made it PERFECT. The food was more than we could even expect. The seafood tower is quite an experience, treat yourself! Thank you to everyone at the front desk, including the managers, because they made us laughed a lot and were so nice to us. Big thanks to our server too. A must in NYC!“

“Uma experiência fantástica, com ótima música! Fui do Brasil a Nova York para conhecer! Show!!“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“One of the best Georgian chain of restaurants in NYC. Delicious food, Georgian wine, cozy atmosphere and very pleasant staff. Highly recommended 💗“

“Solid breakfast burritos and great tortillas, which are like gold here. I haven’t tried anything else on the menu yet, but it’s just a matter of time - the salads look awesome. I moved here from Texas a year ago and love everything about the city (except for the rent), but I do miss Tex Mex and good tortillas. New Mexican is its own cuisine and sure hits the spot while also being healthier, and those tortillas are a game changer. So glad to have found this place, just had breakfast from here, and am already looking forward to going back.“

“Really great oysters and cocktails! We had a great time...“

“Food was great, but honestly our service was awful. They changed servers before our food was delivered and no one came by for ages. I’m not even sure we actually saw the second server. And for how difficult it was to get a reservation and for the price I would have expected better.“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“Holy cow! We just had the Restaurant Week Bento Box lunch from 232 Bleecker and it was just out of this world. Hands down the best meal we've had since the pandemic started. The way Chef Cupps teases the flavor out of vegetables and meats is just astounding. We are in heaven! We also ordered from 232 Bleecker on Christmas Eve, and the food was once again incredible. We are huge fans of Chef Cupps. She previously cooked at UnTitled at the Whitney which was our favorite restaurant in NYC. We are so glad that she and Nick and the rest of her beautiful staff are doing so well.“

“Had an amazing time with all of my work friends. The food was delicious highly recommend“

“Amazing and interesting menu. Each dish was exciting and fun. We realized after our meal that we accidentally ordered and ate all vegetarian. Get the cheezits and the squash rings! The schnitzel was delicious as was the carrot hummus. Whatever that chocolate caramel dessert with marshmallow on top is… GET IT! Maybe get two.“

“Excellent food! Well done!“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“
