6 Best American Restaurants near Hackensack

“Great menu and quality food“

“I couldn’t believe how great the food was. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. In addition the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Andrew In Hackensack NJ was such a delight. He totally paid attention to my nut allergy and had the manager bring my meal out to ensure it was nut free. We are definitely going back! 😃“

“Baitlyn was my server, and I honestly had a wonderful time being served by her, she has a fantastic sense of humor that I don’t think many people have. If you see this, if you have her as your server, you will have a wonderful time“

“Everything about Houston’s is excellent. The food the service and the atmosphere. I have been going for 25 years, sometimes there is a wait but worth every minute! Spinach dip a must and everything on menu is fresh and delicious.“

“Atmosphere, the people, food is great. Taylor is a great, and attentive bartender. Daily food specials besides what’s on the main menu. Sundays during football season, seafood (crab legs, mussels, etc). The prices are extremely fair, far from expensive even if you do get good. Will definitely be visiting again.“

“Have been a couple times over this summer 2026, and it’s been unfortunately inconsistent regarding freshness of the food (esp bread) and service. But.. my most recent visit during happy hour with Brandon from the Dominican Republic (just including this in hopes of hopefully someone identifying him internally to recognizing his great service beyond what I tipped that day). He was so thoughtful, communicative, and friendly even during a busy happy hour. I had the best experience at Cheesecake Factory with him. Hope the managers or someone can give him his flowers!!“
