50 Best American Restaurants near Flanders

“The food was good but the waiter was rude and tried to add another beverage that I did not order.“

“Always have had great experiences here. Ops are consistently here but I’m separating that from the overall experience. This is not an admission of guilt, but I think one could easily take a cup from here every visit and potentially have over 14 now.“

“The NY strip steaks are the best! Absolutely delicious!“

“I had a lovely lunch with my friend. The food was delicious and the staff were so sweet and friendly. It felt like grand dining room at a gorgeous country side. I was very happy dining here today. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Great place! Fantastic staff, always; great food, specials; very reasonably priced.“

“Best sandwich I have ever had! I highly suggest the Grilled Chicken with Fresh Mozz and Roasted Peppers. Cute and cozy place with friendly staff and great prices. I will definity be back!“

“Service and Food are always excellent!“

“Food was on point, The Tower appetizer would be better if the eggplant was fried, and crispy though. The outdoor area overlooking the lake was beautiful on a summer evening.

The outdoor seating isn't particularly comfortable, and it get a bit loud. Still, it was an enjoyable dinner.“

“Wonderful meal and service ! Highly recommend!!“

“We’ve stayed at many luxury hotels, but this property stands out as something truly special. Tucked away in Somerset, NJ—a place we didn’t even realize was just 40 minutes from our home in North Jersey—this hotel offers a world-class experience without the need for a long trip.

From the moment we arrived, the service set the tone. Every detail was seamlessly handled: valet link provided in advance, immediate concierge and bellhop assistance, no waiting at check-in, and a flawless, impeccably maintained property. They even offered an Escalade shuttle to the restaurant so I wouldn’t have to walk in heels—just one example of how thoughtful and guest-centered everything is.

What makes this place ideal is that you never need to leave the property. Whether it’s a quiet retreat for couples or a family-friendly stay, the balance is perfect. Even with many families around, the atmosphere remained serene, and our adult weekend was never disturbed.

The staff made our stay unforgettable. Aiden welcomed us warmly and kept us entertained while our room was prepared. Michele was gracious with our luggage, and Chris went above and beyond—hauling our suitcase to the pool in the heat when our plans shifted from e-biking (my wife couldn’t quite reach the pedals!) to relaxing by the water. At the pool, Paige kept us refreshed with her bright, cheerful energy, making us feel truly spoiled.

Dining was equally memorable. At 90 Acres, our server Corey elevated dinner with thoughtful touches, including a surprise dessert packaged to-go when she noticed how full we were. In the Tavern, Rudy made us feel like old friends, mixing cocktails with care and conversation that made the night.

Every single staff member made us feel valued and cared for, which is rare even in luxury hotels. This property is more than just beautiful—it’s an experience that lingers long after you leave. In fact, it was the first trip where we didn’t take a single photo—we were so present and immersed in the moment that reaching for our phones never even crossed our minds.

For anyone who works a lot and doesn’t have time for a long trip, this is the perfect weekend getaway. We can’t wait to return.“

“Food is Really Good. Nice Place.“

“Great experience!! Maca was my server and she was the kindest and sweetest ever! She made sure we were taken care of and that we enjoyed our Applebees experience. The drinks and food were also great. I would definitely recommend this location!“

“I enjoyed some aspects of this restaurant but not others. It was hard to find a parking spot. The atmosphere was very nice and friendly staff. They seem to have a lot of fried food which I personally can’t eat too much of.. and the grilled chicken was thin and dry. The wait time for our meals was long despite not being too busy.“

“Everything about Polo’s is amazing. The food is amazing the atmosphere is perfect. I know they are only in November but the Thanksgiving Egg Rolls are mouth watering perfection. Staff is friendly and attentive. Thank you for all your hard work.“

“Great food , great service“

“Amazing food on a seasonal menu served by a lovely staff. Love their takeout also. Also love their off site bbq events and catering. Our favorite spot in the area.“

“We enjoyed The Bistro and walk on the grounds“

“The food is always consistent! Best pub around!“

“The food was really nice, Fresh, well cooked and tasty. Served quickly by an awesome and attentive staff. We were just getting ready to drive back to the Carolinas after being here with family while feeling a bit melancholy. but everyone here made us feel at home. This restaurant has an elevated, STUNNING views of lake Hopatcong and it's surrounding community. Activities on the water this beautiful Sunday only added to the unequaled dining experience.“

“The Jefferson Diner is fantastic! The ambiance is cozy, the menu has a great variety, and the food is delicious. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. Highly recommend the burgers and milkshakes. A must-visit for anyone in the area!"“

“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there last night. I requested to dine in one of their rooms. We were escorted to a small room where we enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Our waitress, Ava, was awesome. We were given a small complementary bottle of Processo which was so nice! We have been there many times before and never had a bad meal. The vintage decor there is fabolous! Highly recommended.“

“My spouse and I recently dined at Ninety Acres, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and perfectly suited for a special occasion.

We started with the burrata, which was beautifully plated. It was creamy, fresh, and perfectly complemented by the roasted squash, pine nuts, and vibrant green sauce underneath. For our entrées, the chicken was cooked to perfection with crispy skin and a flavorful sauce, while the sides of broccoli and crispy potatoes over a silky purée were both rich and satisfying. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and balanced in flavor.

To finish the night, we had vanilla gelato with a wafer and lavender macarons accompanied by a congratulations chocolate piece which was a lovely and personal touch that made the evening feel truly special.“

“Good Food. Very nice servers, but the owner is terrible. Not a nice person.“

“Always love this place. Great variety of food, cozy atmosphere, great drink. We live 10 mins from 199, almost 30 mins from 517. I’ll take the extra 20 mins any day!!“

“Literally waited an hour and 15 minutes with a waitress who basically totally ignored us just to be told "oh, we ran out of country fried steak". 🤬 Needless to say we left. went to Pub 199 was waited on and served in 20 minutes when it is packed.“

“Was looking for a new local place and pleasantly surprised when we stopped here. Food was fantastic!! Service was excellent. Vinny and his staff were so friendly. Love this little slice of heaven. Highly recommend.“

“A group of my friends and I were looking for a place to eat outside by the water before we all went out back to our different homestates after a weekend vacation together. This place was perfect, with a large outdoor area. We were initially concerned about the very loud live music playing because we wanted to be able to relax and have good conversations, but they were able to seat us farther away from it which worked out well. A huge bonus is that the outdoor area is completely dog friendly- our waitress even brought out a water bowl for each dog!
Service was fairly prompt and attentive. Food was generally tasty. We shared the maple garlic chicken wings appetizer and enjoyed them. I got the chicken tacos which I loved. I do not handle spiciness at all and they were safe for me and delicious! My boyfriend had the chicken tenders basket and shared his fries with me, which I also enjoyed. A friend also particularly loved the donut alcoholic cider from a local cidery. I think the only thing not enjoyed was one friend who got the 5 cheese Burger. There was something about the taste of the burger that he really didn't care for. My boyfriend tried it and said the best way he could describe it was that the meat tasted more gamey than a usual burger.
Overall though a very positive experience with a beautiful view!“

“small spot but amazing food and vb great staff.“

“Awesome place. Great staff great food.“

“Haven’t been to any Fuddruckers in years since they closed in Wayne,NJ. Was amazed to see a location still open. They have a large game room for the kids. One upsetting thing they didn’t have fresh bakery like other locations. Food was hot and fresh. Plus unlimited fries . Was well worth it.“

“It's always so nice to go in there ...they are all so friendly and the food is really really good. Coffee is great. So many good conversations with the staff they make you feel so welcome. They do care about the food tasting great, it's not just like whatever here you go.“

“Came for dinner with another couple. The tapas eggplant was delicious, light and flavorful. Just lovely. We had two burgers and two steaks. All delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful, however, there is a huge bar in the middle of the restaurant. Which normally would not be an issue but this evening four young women were “working” the older men sitting at the bar. It became clear as the evening progressed that this was going on. None of us could believe what was happening right next to our table!! As the targeted men left the bar the young women quickly moved on to their next victims. It was all very obvious and pretty repulsive. Such a shame to have this type of thing happening in a lovely restaurant. I would hope management will be alerted by the bartenders that their establishment has become prey for this type of behavior. Quite unsettling.“

“This is a great place to meet friends, enjoy the food and drinks ?. The food is freshly cooked and yummy choices. The atmosphere is wonderful with outside dining when the weather permits and inside has a warm, cozy atmosphere. I have introduced this Pub to new neighbors, that are new to Sussex/Warren Counties. They love it as much as I do!!

Kid-friendliness: Went for Father's Day with my adopted grandchildren and their parents ❤️ We di n Ed outside which worked out perfect.“

“The Beacon was so accommodating since I planned my entire wedding dinner within a month. I needed as few headaches as possible. Edna coordinated everything! The staff was very polite and attentive. Everyone LOVED the food and atmosphere. I will be coming in regularly to try the other dishes on the menu and maybe a little line dancing.“

“We love this place:) Great food & friendly staff.“

“Had a fantastic Valentine’s dinner at Bistro Seven Three in Bernardsville last night! Food was unbelievable and the service was friendly and really attentive! Thanks! We’ll be back!“

“Fantastic home cooking, relaxing environment, friendly staff, ...quite simply a happy place to be!“

“Great food and drinks.“

“We travel all over and we go to iHop everywhere. The Kenvil iHop is our favorite one! The staff is the best, always kind, courteous, attentive and helpful. Many iHops don’t display four different syrups on every table. Kenvil is the best iHop out of all the ones we’ve been to. They deserve a round of applause!“

“We discovered Marley's 2 weeks ago and visited again today. The service is friendly and efficient but the reason we went back.....the wings!! So many to explore! Try the key lime garlic. We WILL be back again soon.“

“We always have the best experience here and highly recommend next time you’re thinking about dining out. Food is awesome. The staff is so friendly and attentive. Service is fast, the restaurant is always clean and the overall atmosphere is so welcoming. Keeps us coming back regularly!“

“We have eaten there several times and it is always delicious. We want to give special appreciation to Rachel, your manager, for her special caring and sensitivity to our needs. In today's world, where one struggles, especially if old like we are, to speak to a live human being, when you are able to converse with a person who is actually listening to what you said, this is rare. Add to that delicious fresh food and you have a winner. Tonight we had fresh large shrimps with a most delicious home made cocktail sauce. Fresh crab cakes with a fabulous remoulade, and a chocolate mousse to die for as dessert. We ordered too much and have to save some for tomorrow. We live in town, and are happy to see the names of so many out of town visitors appreciate Chesapeake Tavern.“

“The new floor is DONE!!! I know that our dance family is beyond excited for this to be done.... 7/10/2025 was our first time on the new floor & I know that everyone was thankful & enjoying the new dance space!! Looking forward to more dance nights at The Nook!! Come see Michelle & have a drink & enjoy!!“

“Good food had a dinner with my neighbor service was good steamers were good“

“Great little tavern. Food was good and they get a decent size portion. Friendly waitress“

“Tried for the first time. The food is amazing! Great service and great value. This is not fast food…..this is delicious food! I will be back!“

“Wow! Used Stella G’s as my wedding caterer, and was absolutely blown away. The food was AMAZING. We were nervous about how the food would be but my husband and I were shocked by how delicious it was and the guests kept complimenting it was as well. The restaurant is family run and the owners did everything to make sure it was a hit. From initial emails, phone calls, questions, and menu selection they went above and beyond. I can’t stress enough how each bite of food we had was better than the last. They out did themselves on taste, presentation, professionalism, and courtesy. I will only use them in the future and recommend them to anyone who needs an event catered. Thank you for making our night a success!!!“
