13 Best American Restaurants in Elizabeth

“Haven’t been to Ruby Tuesdays in FOREVER! Forgot what I was missing out on because their Trio Sampler is amazing. The unlimited Mango Iced Tea was better than I remembered it. Our server Danni was on her game and gave us a great dining experience after a long day! Really happy to have rediscovered this after visiting the mall. Will definitely come back and enjoy soon!“

“Great establishment with a great atmosphere. The employees were welcoming and respectful and kind. Had one hiccup with someone there not sure who they were but it seems like they didn't want certain people speaking to the employees.
Visited there for Colombian independence.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family.“

“buena atencion y rica comida mexicana“

“Love the atmosphere and free dance classes !“

“We flew into NJ for a few days and stayed across the street from the mall at Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton, Elizabeth,NJ. We ate twice at this Applebee's location and the food was great on both occasions. We ordered the chicken tenders platter, boneless buffalo wings, the blackened salmon meal, fish and chips and the O.M burger. The food did not disappoint. Our server, Terry, was very friendly and attentive and made our visit there even better and most welcoming. We will definitely be back. Cheers to Applebee's and Terry!!!“

“Food is decent for a place such that but once you look inside hygiene of the place isn’t inviting 🥴 so if you order your food not leaning into window you will enjoy it but if you glance a bit condition of kitchen you might think twice“

“Stopped in on a road trip - and wow! Highly recommend. Excellent food and service. And the Halloween decorations are unparalleled.“

“The food is amazing my family and I love it“

“The best! This place is a staple in Elizabeth. At Two Brothers, you get the real American breakfast experience. What a wonderful feeling to walk back to my little breakfast joint and to enjoy this guys’s cooking. Thank you for the love you put into this. I love your business!“

“Bayway catered for my baby shower this past Saturday, and I will be honest I was nervous. I never worked with them before, and didn’t know what to expect. However, I was able to get on the phone with Mike 2 days before my event, and he ensured me everything will be on time and that the food I ordered was the right amount. Well, he was right! Billy, the delivery person showed up early and helped with the set up, and the food arrived hot. Every person at the event gave several compliments regarding the flavors and the presentation. I highly recommend Bayway for any size event, and I’ll be using them again! Thanks again, Mike!“

“We were totally worn out from a day in the city and the traffic around this cluster of hotels was ridiculous so we decided to just have dinner here. And hey, it was pretty good. We both got sandwiches and they were fresh and we'll made. I did not want the chips that came with mine and the server/bartender/cook brought me fruit instead. Breakfast looked good to. If you're staying in this little block of hotels than this is a pretty good option considering there's only a tgi Friday's and IHOP next door.Limited menu for breakfast but what they have they do well. Feel free to ask for fruit in place of potatoes.“

“Dolce is a truly exceptional spot that easily earns a five-star review! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by an elegant and inviting atmosphere that feels both stylish and comfortable.

The food is outstanding—beautifully presented, fresh, and full of rich, balanced flavors. Every dish reflects careful preparation and attention to detail, making the dining experience genuinely memorable. The dessert selection, as you might expect from the name, is especially impressive and a perfect way to finish the meal.

The drinks are equally refined, with a great selection of cocktails that are both creative and perfectly crafted.

Service is top-notch, with friendly, attentive staff who make sure every guest feels well taken care of from start to finish.

Whether you’re visiting for a casual night out or a special occasion, Dolce delivers a consistently high-quality experience. Highly recommended!“
