50 Best American Restaurants near Garwood

“Clean establishment, easy to fine, well lite sports bar/restaurant. It's more of a burger joint, meeting friends type place. Good pricing, good value. Friendly staff and nice owner. The best value is the prime rib dinner night. Get there early for when ribs are gone. It's over til next week.“

“The entire experience was, as usual, wonderful. Food server MATT was very upbeat, lively and efficient. It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary dinner. We were happy that your put the bigger sized rotisserie chicken back on the menu. You only had one vegetarian meal on the menu -- perhaps in the future you will add more veggie items.“

“Garlic Rose is our family's place for special dinners! The food is always fresh and delicious. We usually get Sangria by the pitcher, its sooo good! They make you feel like family at their house for dinner. The wait staff are very professional and well versed in the menu. I highly recommend The Garlic Rose.“

“We recently used Anthony’s catering for a small birthday gathering at my house. I was really impressed with the food, the service, and reasonable prices. The baked ziti was really delicious, reminding me of my grandmom’s Italian cooking and much better than standard catering fare. The salad was very fresh with strawberries and a yummy tangy dressing, and the cheesecake was some of the best I’ve ever had. Also, when they needed to substitute the toffee topping on the cheesecake I ordered, they went above and beyond to find a suitable sub for us, offering lots of yummy alternatives (we went with pecan and salted caramel - YUM!). Anthony’s is going to be my new go-to when I’m entertaining and don’t want to cook!“

“Fantastic food, great service, and cozy atmosphere. Wife and I came here on a Sunday morning and sat at the counter. I had the breakfast tacos with chorizo and a side of grits. My wife had the Beckler omelette and a single lemon ricotta pancake. Everything was absolutely delicious!“

“Im in the business and wish i had the front of the house management and staff that consistently deliver the level of service found at Water & Wine. Fantastic menu, excellent execution, outstanding service, and fair prices. Nice fireplace near the bar and nice views of the Watchung pond from every table in the dining room.“

“One of the best taco places In NJ right after you cross the Verrazano Bridge We were on our way back to VA, we were craving some authentic Mexican food and homemade guacamole which I love so much We didn't choose wrong. The tacos were so good the customer service was excellent I couldn't say more about the owner Shea was very nice to my kids She even gives them free candy Next time we go back to NY, we are coming back again and trying the Birria I recommend this place“

“Got even better , if thats possible!!!!Great place in Chatham for a chicken sandwich, ranking in my top 3 places. The wings are off the hook as well. Get the fries with the aieilo and chic too. A must try for a fast food option you won't be disappointed. Service is above average and they have a great disposition as well. Makes eating there a more than pleasant experience.Another great time !!!!!!!“

“I've only known Namkeem restaurant for about 1 month now and I've been there at least 10 times. Food and customer service is amazing! Would totally recommend!!Kid-friendliness: Its a family friendly spotWheelchair accessibility: There's are no stairs“

“This place is top notch across the board!! We love coming here - the food is always amazing and steps of service are always met! A true gem!Kid-friendliness: Ribs are our son’s fave! Honestly I don’t even know if they have a kids menu.“

“Tried to post a review but this place didn't exist on Yelp so decided to add it just to post a review becauseeeeee, I had one of the best airport salads here. We all know airport food isn't great so being that I got a great meal, I had to give them props. I got the brussel sprouts salad and added chicken. The grilled chicken was well seasoned/charred. Salad was low on brussel sprouts but the mixed greens made up for it. Almonds, pomegranate seeds, and craisins were a nice mix. Overall I'm just happy I got a fresh and good tasting salad in good portion size. Still overpriced but what can you do? It's at the airport.“

“Wonderful experience. We had no idea what to order, so Modupe (the owner) surprised us. I only wish I could have eaten more! My daughter who can be picky was so happy with her shrimp and fries that she drew Modupe a picture. Highly recommend!!“

“Great place to grab a bite, drink and watch a game. The walls are lined with TVs and they'll turn just about anything on for you. They have a great selection of tap beers and specialty cocktails. And they have a nice selection of bar food which is very good. Worth the time to hang out with friends and cheer on your favorite team.“

“I try to go to this Diner about 1-2 times a week. It's good food and they're quick. Sometimes I'll just pick up a breakfast sandwich or I'll sit down for one of their platters!Their Corned Beef Hash Platter is one of my regular dishes!I have been there for lunch, but not as much as I would have liked to.“

“Stopped in to check out the place for a private party. Had a quick fancy drink, that was amazingly delicious! The owner is very friendly and the place is as clean as a whistle! Definitely coming back hereParking: Had to circle around a few times to find parking. Someone left so I was lucky!“

“Very nice place and an amazing food. The NY strip is really delicious, soft and creamy when you take at medium cook.The atmosphere is OK, but nothing impressive to make you and your family too excited.The staff serves very well with some kind of emphaty, but not happy as you want to be.Its not a chepeast price in Town, so, if you are getting there, there is a lot of types of food on the menu.“

“Such a cute spot! I love the decor and the service is great.The tacos are freshly made and taste like they’re made with quality ingredients.The green and red salsas are soooo good!I also really loved the mint lemonade.My only gripe, is I wish they served the tacos with lime instead of lemon and I wish the birria meat and consommé had more robust flavor, but they were still good!“

“This honestly was some great food. I’m not gonna lie I be iffy about New Jersey food being from NYC but tbh this was bussin. If you know you know. I’m definitely coming back with my friends, because this is where it’s at! Loved itttt.“

“The hubby and I tried Tommy’s in Carteret this afternoon. Homemade chili, no beans. Nice, smooth bit of heat. It was good. I believe they are using a Sabrett hot dog. The onion rings were EXCELLENT! Everything was fresh and very tasty. This family has been selling hot dogs in the Carteret and Rahway area since the very early 1960’s. Jimmy who is the son of the original owner, Tommy was very friendly. He couldn’t have been happier to explain his menu offerings to us, and partake in some friendly conversation. Four hot dogs with two toppings on each, an order of onion rings, and a Diet Coke was $19. There are a couple of outdoor tables to sit at, or a no frills trailer to sit in. It’s not a fancy place, but we weren’t there for fancy. We were there for some good dawgs, and we got them. We will definitely be back for more, and to try the freshly made burgers and cheesesteaks.?“

“Definitely a five star experience!!! We arrived just before happy hour ended (4-5:30) and they were kind enough to place a quick order of oysters!!! They were super fresh and delicious... favs were west coast (sorry NJ). Next, came the Parker rolls!!! Probably my favorite part of the meal, but then again, who doesn't like homemade, freshly baked rolls with buttered top and a touch of salt!!! Because everything looked so good, we opted for a bunch of other appys to start! The New Zealand angus beef bites were served with horseradish aioli and a Parker roll, the halloumi cheese was accompanied by orange slices, prosciutto, radicchio and dehydrated olives. The octopus was spectacular... crispy with romanesco sauce, fried chickpeas, cilantro and paprika breadcrumbs. Of course, we had to also try the OHS mussel pot... with chorizo, saffron, garlic cream, sun dried tomatoes... and an herbed garlic roll on top!!! LOVED THEM ALL! It's not often that so many different, but complimentary flavors are presented in each dish!!! We could have stopped our meals there and would have been pleasantly satisfied and full! Next, we chose a couple of the sirloin sandwiches with fries, and the squid ink pasta with Calabrian chili and Meyer lemon breadcrumbs!!! All was very good. The evening was finished with 3 of their delicious desserts... the lemon meringue tart was the perfect sweet with a pucker. The molten dark chocolate cake was decadent. And the trio of gelatos were each so uniquely flavorful and delicious! Wow!!! Given that 100 steps is a BYOB, it makes everything even more affordable! We had spectacular service in this beautiful restaurant with amazing food! It was quite a special evening!“

“We dined in Debra was our waitress and she was absolutely amazing. Great Customer Service She Attended to our needs also helped with our decisions because we were being picky she break down the menu for us and made sure we was straight Debra deserve a raise“

“Absolutely phenomenal!!!!! Our server Sonya was truly a gem. The decor was warm and charming. The menu was superb!!! The convenience of leisurely having an amazing meal pre-show is golden!!! We traveled in by train from NYC - flawless and easy! We are looking forward to coming back this summer for other shows. Definitely plan to return with friends for the Dinner Mystery Theatre!!! Thank you for a beautiful evening!!?????????“

“Walked in on a busy Saturday evening with my wife. The place was bustling but we were able to grab two seats at the bar after waiting about 10 minutes. Sara was tending bar and she greeted us right away. We shared a steak, arugula salad, a side of onion rings, and had a couple of drinks. One of the best meals we've had in a while on datenight and Sara's service was top notch. My wife and I go to Roots often and we found the food and service better here. Atmosphere was more authentic too. Hope to be back soon.“

“Barcode is the place to be at every weekend . The new barcode is amazing . Great good music and prices . Camila was the best we came and celebrated my friends bday she celebrated with us . Super sweet super attentive I recommend her service 100%“

“I visited the Old Bermuda Inn for the first time. I have always noticed it from the 440 Staten Island and thought it was beautiful especially when it is lit up at night. I was excited to go. I parked my own car. The front of the venue was beautiful. The school I work for hosted an event on the first floor of over 300 people and over 200 baskets. Seating was comfortable, the tables were beautiful and I was near the bar. Our waitress was on point. I ate the salad with garlic bread, penne vodka and the salmon. My husband got the Chicken Marsala. Many of my coworkers had the stake. They all came with a veggie melody and roasted potatoes. All of the food was delicious. My ultimate favorite was the dessert. It was a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a brownie. I enjoyed it so much that I took the person next to me dessert too bc they were busy dancing and it was melting. The only thing I wished for was a cup of coffee.My family has two events planned there soon. I am looking forward to going back!“

“very nice menu and the food is always delicious and well prepared. the service was extremely nice today as our appetizer was a bit later than usual so they gave us free appetizer on the house. it was such a wonderful way to be served by a friendly hospitable staff who made sure we had a great dining experience. I would highly recommend Trap Rock.“

“The Huntley Taverne knocks it out if the park every time. When you are in search of great food, service and atmosphere this is it. Their Team is well trained and it makes the overall experience much better than going anywhere else. We love it here.“

“I only have ordered on uber eats so I don’t know service and atmosphere, but the oxtail is on point. The beef patties….. wow….. I need to know what spices they useGreat food. I have ordered MANY times in the past few weeks. And will continue“

“Customer for years. Friendly service, quick pick up time, and literally the best pizza within 10 miles.Actual pizza with a fantastic sauce. LARGE slices if you come in for a quick slice and quick service if you're pressed for time. Not overpriced like many places in the area.Dinners are a good deal and the chicken parm never disappoints.“

“Never disappointed! I am a repeat customer and am glad to see they have expanded the menu today I had the Dagwood and it was delicious! Added photos from last time as well. There is also a park next door to walk around in or even picnic, love this place!Vegetarian options: Sandwiches“

“I love this place. If I ever wanted to get Ice cream and go with a friend who has allergies the staff are very willing to make them feel safe by putting on new gloves, grabs cleaned sc556oop from new containers of the flavor my friend wanted. The inside is so welcoming and friendly and has so many customer drawing that make even more welcoming.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, and sugar freeParking: Street parking can get crowed but is not insanely crowded that you have to park 2 streets back.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly drawing and designs for kids and easily visible options for kids to see.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to enter and exit store and no inclines that would be difficult at all.“

“Texas Roadhouse in North Plainfield, NJ, is outstanding!! It is our first time here (recommended by our steak-loving Foodie Friemd)The food is spectacular! The steaks are PERFECTION! and the BREAD...... Warning: THE HOME-MADE BREAD IS ADDICTIVE!! Do NOT eat 5 baskets of bread (like my mom is doing!) Because you will get FULL and you want to make sure you come here VERY HUNGRY to appreciate this FANTASTIC food!! Customer Service: EXCELLENT! Our waitress, TORI, is WONDERFUL, very friendly, efficient, and FAST! Then the Manager comes around to make sure everyone is happy. Our Manager is MEGAN and she was super cool!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant, especially if you LOVE steak, BREAD, and overall GREAT food! We LOVED everything we ordered!--- Cynthia & family from Edison, NJ“

“Fantastic brunch spot with very unique breakfast options such as the crabmeat hash and French toast latte. Service was courteous and efficient. Very homey and well lit atmosphere. I felt ready to conquer my day after enjoying this breakfast for champions.“

“As a regular customer of the restaurant, I have always admired Danielle's dedication to excellent service and flavorful dishes. So, when it came time to plan my daughter's graduation party in the park for 100 guests, I knew exactly who to trust for catering - Danielle and her team!Right from the start, Danielle proved herself to be a true professional. Punctuality is often overlooked, but not with Danielle's catering service. She arrived on time and fully prepared to set up without any hiccups or excuses. The efficiency and seamless coordination of her staff were remarkable, allowing me to step away from the setup for an hour, knowing that everything was in capable hands.One aspect that truly impressed me was Danielle's attention to detail and foresight. The unpredictable weather forecast made us anxious about rain during the event, but Danielle had it all under control. Her team was prepared with umbrellas for the grill, ensuring that rain wouldn't dampen the spirits of our guests or the grilling process.As the party unfolded, the compliments from my guests started pouring in. They were captivated by the impeccable presentation and, most importantly, the outstanding quality of the food. Danielle's catering service offered a delectable range of dishes that catered to different tastes and dietary preferences, leaving every guest satisfied and asking for more.I can't express how many guests requested Danielle's contact information for their upcoming events. It's a testament to her exceptional catering service, which not only impressed me, a seasoned customer, but also left a lasting impression on everyone at the party.Without a doubt, I will be hiring Danielle for all my future events. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and delectable creations guarantee a successful and memorable occasion. If you're searching for a catering service that goes above and beyond, look no further than Danielle's. I can vouch for her excellence, and I am confident you'll be just as delighted as I am.“

“Always love the food here, classic bar food along with some Irish specials and creative fusion dishes. I've never had anything bad from them. Service is always pretty good never had a bad experience. Love coming here with my family for special occasions but the bar scene is pretty popular too if that's more your speed. Highly reccomend!“

“Exceptional service and amazing food. Stopped here on our way back from a concert the next morning and the food was beyond amazing. It is a small location with limited seating but we sat outside in the sun in the outdoor seating which made it even better. We definitely will be coming back again when we're in the area.“

“Love the food choices here, they are healthy, unique and very flavorful. We shared 2 things from the Happy Hour Bites Menu: 1. Street Tacos and 2. Not Your Mama's Meatloaf Sliders plus a Sourdough Margherita Pizza. All very yummy!! We followed with a Blueberry Crumble Sundae which was a great choice!!“

“We order here from time to time, specifically cheesesteaks. Tonight was the first time in a while. Our delivery was made by the owner who personally thanked us for our business and stated he is now managing the business himself and is hands on. I can totally get behind a business owner who puts an emphasis on customer service, and one who can admit shortcomings in an effort to turn it around. I respect this. To anyone reading this review I recommend trying Planet Wings, and if you've tried them in the past and were disappointed give them another chance.“

“Food & service is always top of the line every time I go. Sometimes I get there 10 mins before closing but the cooks are nice enough & still willing to take my order. The girls are a great vibe and create conversation with you while they make the food from scratch & still comes out a chefs kiss. You can tell they make their food with a lot of love & passion by the way it’s served & the taste you get from the first bite. If I could rate this business out of 10 stars, I’d give it 11: best of the best in the Tri-State“

“I had the scallops and they were cooked perfectly in a beautiful creamy mustard sauce BUT I kept stealing my mom's veal Parmesan, it was perfection. I can't suggest it enough. The crème brûlée was also exquisite- the perfect texture and it was bruleed just how I like it :) the waiter was also lovely!“

“Food is delicious with a fun atmosphere. The owner is always very welcoming with a staff that's on top of their game. Family oriented atmosphere. If you're going there for a pizza or a delicious Chicken Parm you will walk out stuffed and satisfied. You have to try the margaritas. I had a mango one last time I was there and it was delicious. The margaritas there make Jose tejas margaritas look like McDonald's. This place is a must! I forgot mention the pizza. Slightly sweet with an amazing thin crunch!“
