50 Best American Restaurants near Emerson

“the steak sandwich. i came from the pocono’s. i go every time im down“

“There is nothing NOT to like about Wayback in Emerson. Burger (American cheese with grilled onions) is juicy and delicious even after it has sat in a bag in my car for 10 minutes, onion rings are perfect and their pizza is great too - especially the Detroit style. No question for me that this place does everything right. Can’t wait to try the cheesesteak and their milkshakes. This place had better succeed or I would be pretty disappointed.“

“Quality establishment with style …. Recommended A++“

“I was blown away by the generosity of the servings. You certainly get your money's worth here! The flavor profile has evolved into something much more sophisticated. The ambiance is chic yet comfortable, and the waiters are exceptionally polite. It’s a 10/10 from me. The food is much tastier than my last visit and I’m completely full. The team here really knows how to take care of their guests.“

“We threw a drop-in Buffet dinner for family and friends at Houlihans for 30 to 35 people. The room is spacious and accommodated everyone comfortably. Our server Eileen was excellent and the food was delicious. Michelle who assisted with the catering was very detail oriented and help me plan a great event. Sebastian the manager as extremely gracious and helped ensure our guests were taken care of. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend..“

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

“Great spot for drinks and a drink 🥃 what a great time and place, we well be coming back“

“Quick service and good food!!“

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

“Very chill family owned and operated North Jersey tavern and steakhouse. It's cash-only, but there is an ATM up front near the bar. The burgers and steaks are the main attraction, but there are plenty of seafood and poultry options that are delicious. They have a full bar with beer, wine, and cocktail specials (and a good variety of each). Service is friendly and your meal will likely be cooked and/or served by the the owning family.“

“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 🫶✨️🥂🎶“

“Have gone here many times and have not been disappointed. The food is excellent as well as the Service and drinks. Bring your friends and family for a great time and great food!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“food and drinks were delicious and fun atmosphere“

“great music venue with wide variety of acts.“

“We had an amazing dinner at Sage-Staff, food and service was the best of the best!!“

“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.“

“We absolutely love the Glen Rock Inn and have been coming here for while, but this was our first time hosting a larger event—and they exceeded every expectation. We celebrated our son’s first birthday here, and the entire experience was incredible from start to finish.

Gina made the planning process leading up to the event so easy and seamless, and on the day of the party everything ran flawlessly. The food was outstanding and constantly replenished—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it.

A huge thank you to Maggie, who was truly amazing. She was with us before/during/after the party, helped with everything, and was so kind, attentive, and supportive. She made the event completely stress-free for us.

Our guests couldn’t get over the party, the service, or the overall experience. We are so grateful to the entire team and highly recommend the Glen Rock Inn for any event you’re considering. Thank you so much for making our son’s first birthday so special!“

“I know it’s been around but still a favorite ❤️Very trendy & modern. It’s valet service to the ambiance to the food music wait and drinks services. Pricey but worth it..we enjoyed paying for this level of service....The woman that manages the beautiful bathroom got my tip lol.Ty..so beautiful“

“White maple isn’t just a restaurant. It is an experience that you do not want to miss out on. The food is extraordinary and extremely delicious and the service is even better. Everybody is very kind, understanding, and always ready to help if needed. If you haven’t gone to white maple, then you don’t know the true meaning of a good dining experience.“

“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. It was fantastic. the decorations, the signature drinks, delicious apps, brilliant wait service and overall atmosphere was unbeatable! I cannot express our gratitude enough for making this a memorable event for both Steve and I. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts❤️ love love love you all!“

“From the time we walked in the door, to the time we left it was a friendly and welcoming vibe. Now on to the food, I never once thought of putting buffalo chicken into an omelette, but they did.. and let me tell you, it’s a MUST try! The chicken was still crispy even mixed into eggs, and it was just hands down one of the best omelettes I’ve had! Let me start with this by saying, I literally add a side of bacon to every single meal that I’m able to. With that being said, it was a generous portion of crispy, flavorful bacon. My wife got the pancakes and sausage links, the sausage links were also perfectly crispy/crunchy on the outside and juicy/moist on the inside. We aren’t typically in the area much, but now whenever we are, we’ll be eating here! Plenty of options to choose from, next I’ll be intrigued to try something off the lunch menu. Highly recommend giving Foodies a try when in the area, it will not disappoint!!“

“Fantastic fresh food that is tasty AND delicious 🤤“

“We visited a few times last week from the UK. Great breakfasts and really friendly service . Will visit again when we come back hopefully in the near future 👍“

“Always meet my best friend halfway between Bergen County and Westchester for dinner. We ended up at The Dining Room one night. Quite possibly my favorite French onion soup. PERFECT martini. Steak was solid, au gratin was also great. Cannot wait to go back.“

“We just ate there for the first time at the Warren location. We were surprised how busy they were on a Sunday since they are near an office complex. I had a burger, onion rings and a chocolate milk shake. All 3 were delicious. My husband had the hot pastrami and French fries. Both were excellent. We highly recommend.“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“I absolutely love coming to this location.
Tricia, Crystal, and Jackie are ALWAYS hospitable and respectful every time I dine in with Friendly’s!
Tricia and Chrystal always greet me with a HUGE SMILE and are always SO SWEET to me- BRAVO!

“this is The best place for Breakfast,Lunch and dinner,7 days a week.owners and stuff, take of you like a family member......I thank You guys to take of me....“

“great local spot love it here“

“Had the breakfast burrito 🌯 been wanting to get to this place for a while.

Wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but it was good. The chorizo was the one I went with definitely wasn’t disappointed.

I don’t think it’s worth a far drive but if you’re in the area or it’s not completely out your way it’s definitely worth stopping in for a visit. The place does have seating but not a lot of room. There is a park near by and lots of outdoor seating near the area. That’s what I chose to do.

The breakfast burrito price was amazing especially for nyc the food was good quality and really delicious. The sauce everyone was talking about wasn’t over powering. Matter of fact I wish I had more next time I’ll ask for some on the side felt like I needed an extra pump 😂.

I truly enjoyed this place and I’m sure you guys will also the coffee was mid but it’s ok food makes up for it.

Hope you enjoyed this review like always follow me on IG @imbroke_eats and @imbroke_rob

Hope this helped“

“I had so much fun. The music, endless mimosas was awesome, but I will say I was disappointed with the steak and eggs I ordered. I asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare and it came out medium well. The took it back and a couple of minutes later brought out what appeared to be the same exact steak cooked medium well and the eggs were cold. It’s like they thought I wouldn’t notice??? So, if you like your steak on the rare side DO NOT order the steak and eggs. Order anything else in the menu and you probably won’t be disappointed. Other than the steak, everything else was great!“

“The best naberhood bar that I've been to in many years“

“Had a great night there recently , super friendly atmosphere and great staff. can't wait to go back.“

“Wonderful Restaurant! WOW what a great job they did. Service! Food! Atmosphere! Clifton needed this!
And I am throwing down the gauntlet; BEST BURGER In Clifton.

Update 12/23 stopped by and sat at the bar and they had a yet another killer burger: Double Stack Cheeseburger. Outstanding!
My GF had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and loved it .“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! I love going for breakfast, and they also have great options for lunch. They even do catering. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind—when I had my baby in one arm, they insisted on helping me carry my coffee to the car. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare these days and makes this place extra special!

Their prices are also very reasonable too!“

“Chicken is crunchy and delicious! Everything I've tried so far has been good. Glad I finally tried Chicken Galore last month, but, now I'm a little addicted 😉“

“The atmosphere is AMAZING. Accompanied by great for and drinks. The wait staff and hostess are Super Sweet.“

“I absolutely love this place I work in the same building as the daughter of this restaurant and she is a bright and shining star of a person the mother and the cook of the restaurant is beautiful wonderful personality and makes great food I recommend this restaurant to anybody who's looking for a home feeling fresh food fulfilling and tasteful restaurant Gourmet Express is one of my favorite restaurants you guys are the best“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic dinner at The Hill Restaurant. The winter risotto was rich and perfectly balanced, the NY strip steak was expertly cooked and full of flavor, and the pasta arrabbiata with lobster had just the right heat with tender, generous lobster. Everything was beautifully executed—definitely worth a return visit.“

“Stopped in today from out of state. AMAZING cheesecake! Highly recommend 💜“

“We hosted a surprise 60th birthday party this past weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the first call to set it up to the moment we walked out the door, the staff made sure it was such a great experience. The people who work there are so attentive and kind. The managers Bryan and Kelly were so helpful in planning our party and Ivan is a rockstar. He took care of our party of 20 and made sure we had everything we needed. We never had to look for him, he was always checking on us and providing excellent service. He truly is so great at what he does. We had a sit down lunch in their cottage room which was so nicely decorated. the space was perfect. We felt like we were in our own restaurant. It was cozy but spacious and they were so accommodating with how we wanted it set up. We were able to bring balloons and decorations and the staff even helped us set up. They had a curtain up in the doorway so we were able to really surprise the guest of honor. Our lunch was delicious. We chose to do the seated option with 3 shareable apps and we picked a menu of 4 main meals from their party menu. Most of us ordered the shepherds pie and it was some of the best we had ever had. The presentation was cute. It came in a skillet which was served on a board with Irish soda bread. It was so delicious. The show stopper was the shareable Irish egg rolls. We couldn’t stop talking about them. The drinks were really good and the bar staff was really attentive to the party. The kids ordered from the long kids menu and they really enjoyed theirs as well. The pricing was very reasonable and worth every penny. We were able to bring our own cake and they cut it up and served it for us which was so nice. I can’t thank them enough for how special they made this experience. Everyone in our party had such an amazing time. The staff here are incredible. I would absolutely consider them for your next party.“

“We had an absolutely wonderful meal on Thanksgiving. We ordered the usual turkey dinner and it was was scrumptious. I believe the new chef owner brings the experience to whole other level. We loved it. We are going back Christmas Eve! I do have to say I was disappointed a restaurant of this level and price point charges a 3% credit card fee. This is a first for us as we frequent comparable fine dining restaurants and we were never charged a fee. Food for thought.“

“Had a great time? DJ was good & service was exceptional!“
