50 Best American Restaurants near Hainesport

“We were coming home from funplex park, when we stopped by pandora diner. The time was about 9:20. From the get go i can see that the restaurant is clean and smelled fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful. We waited to be seated not longer than 3minutes tops. Our waiter brought us drinks until we were ready to order. I order the salmon dinner, my husband had rib eye steak, our kids had lasagna and chicken tenders. The food was lovely, just enough season and salt to everything and if we wanted more salt or seasoning, it was available for us on the table. May I add…. Generous portions for each dish ordered! Lynn ( the manager) was so kind and lovable and made sure we were comfortable and served with respect. I’m telling you, she is a gem and has a heart of gold, God bless her. Her staff were very kind and our waiter was very quick yet careful. Occasionally asking us if we needed or wanted anything. He stayed close by so if we did, we can call out to him. The menu is big and complete with dessert made at the restaurant itself, which is awesome! After we finished dining we made our way to where the cake stands are and my kids loved their cupcakes and shortcakes they chose. I can’t recommend this diner enough it’s lovely. If I ever go by that area again, I'm definitely paying them a visit! Remember clean, delicious, family friendly, affordable and a kind atmosphere. Thank you Lynn and your staff for serving us today!“

“Food was ok. Pickle chicken sandwich was good. Fries were cold. An Ithaca beer on tap was $8.50!! Dogfish IPA $9.50. Just a bit steep! Beer is cheaper at a casino in AC!!“

“Good bartenders cold beer and good food. What more could you want from a local bar.“

“Great service! Great Food! Wonderful service! My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Such a friendly and kind staff! If you need a bite to eat in a relaxing atmosphere, check it out!“

“Those cotton candy cosmos 😋 delicious“

“Great food and great drinks.“

“My family hasn’t been to Fridays in a long time. We were very pleased with the food and enjoyed everything. The best part was the service. We’ve never felt so welcomed. She was attentive, and made sure my family had the best experience. I asked her name, it was a unique spelling, Aleigha. We will definitely be back for the food and amazing service. Thank you“

“Ang is hands down the sweetest waitress! Everytime we come in she makes our dining experience so easy and enjoyable! She’s always so kind, attentive, and makes sure we have everything we need without us ever having to ask. Her positive attitude and genuine care for her customers keep us coming back. If you get the chance definitely ask for Ang you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Excellent food quality, I tried the “New Bedford Scallop & Shrimp Risotto”, slightly hearty portion, very high quality on the palate and at the same time you can taste the flavors of the natural raw material without being “dirty” with seasonings or anything unnecessary. Cost in the American average of restaurants (the real ones), 35$ risotto. Exorbitant espresso cost, very long but not bad, $6“

“The outside patio is magical, brunch is fantastic, and staff go over and beyond to ensure you have the best dining experience“

“Mt Laurel is not a hot bed for… anything… but Monterey Grill is THE silver lining in Mt Laurel. Chef Andrew and his kitchen staff have a group personality matches their menu to a “T”. It’s controlled chaos but the flavor profiles of every dish are enjoyable and it gives guests something different to enjoy every night. The waiting staff are all amazing; welcoming, fun, and professional. They know their menu like pros and they know their wine list equally as well. The regular bar tenders are GREAT and their smokey old fashions are next to none in the area.

Only feedback: Management could do a better job at livening up the atmosphere… there used to be live music all the time and now they only have live music on Fridays. There was recently a change in management, so I suspect that these unwanted changes came from ownership and the new upper management team to save money, but it’s been a big swing and an even bigger miss.

Locals have loved this spot for years. Hopefully ownership come to terms with their mistakes and decide to run it back because Monterey Grill was perfect the way it was for many years.

Don’t let it turn into a “chainy” feeling vibe like Harvest or Red Stone. People like restaurants that are boutique and different. Character is everything in the hospitality business and the staff at Monterey Grill already has that!

Management has a choice to make… hopefully they figure it out. I’ll always support this spot, if for nothing else because the staff deserves the support.“

“love the food. I'm orginally from Tennessee but now live in Pennsylvania. Their food is the closest I've had to tasting like back home. the people are super friendly.“

“Always great food and friendly staff!“

“From the moment we toured The Madison in Riverside, we knew it was the one. The venue is absolutely stunning—elegant, timeless, and immaculately maintained. Every space feels thoughtfully designed, from the ceremony areas to the reception room, making it perfect for both photos and guest experience. The staff is incredibly professional, welcoming, and attentive. They truly make you feel supported and excited throughout the planning process, which means everything when you’re planning such a big day. You can tell they genuinely care about making each wedding special and seamless. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team that goes above and beyond, The Madison is an easy choice. We couldn’t be happier with our decision and are so excited to celebrate our wedding here!“

“Freshly cooked dinner meals. Roasted chicken, bbq ribs, vegetables, different salads. All delicious. No shortages of food and staff. Staff is friendly“

“My fiancé and I ate here for a late lunch. We started out with the charbroiled oysters and some gator bites, which were both phenomenal!! For our entrees, we had the shrimp and grits and the catfish with crawfish gravy… TO DIE FOR!! Everything tasted so fresh, and the service was fantastic! Thank you, Debbie :)“

“My daughter, son, and I went to the Willingboro location tonight for dinner. They just opened this lovation yesterday. It was amazing. I definitely recommend the Hangover burger. My daughter had the Mack Daddy burger. My son had the boneless wings. They both loved their choices. We will definitely be going back to try more items on their extensive menu. Ree, the owner is awesome. She’s very friendly and is a pleasant person to talk with. I wish her all the best at her new location. Darren, our server was just as awesome. He took great care of us from the start to the end.“

“Yes, but make sure they get your order right, visited today for the first time in a while. My order (Stromboli) wasn’t correct but was acceptable…wife got a club, dry turkey and unevenly made. Manager took $4 off my Stromboli. Service was ok, we left disappointed in the food but not hungry…will be a while before we go back for another visit.“

“On a whim on a chilly mid-morning Sunday in January my neighbor and I stopped in here for brunch. I had the biscuits and gravy special with potatoes and eggs, the service was impeccable. Coffee was excellent, and the dessert (apple blossom with vanilla gelato) was absolutely amazing. I definitely will be returning with wine for dinner in the near future. Definitely a hidden local gem!“

“Looking for a nice place that's family friendly and not loud? Cracker Barrel is like being invited over for a nice southern style meal, home made and with love. Also check out their store for novelties and nice treats.“

“We were there last night for dinner and to see the band. What a pleasant experience ! Upon driving up didn’t know what to expect, our first time there. Friendly staff all around beginning with receptionist who gave us a little tour of the layout. Our server was so busy very pleasant and attentive, food was excellent, high quality and delicious. After dinner went to the outside bar where the band was performing. Again very pleasant and attentive servers. If you’ve been there you know, if not make plans to go. Thank you Union House for a very pleasant evening.“

“good times good food good drinks“

“We got married here on 11/07/2025 and it was truly the best day. Sam, Marie and the whole team were spectacular. They made the planning process so easy. They were all very responsive, helpful and accommodating! The day of staff was simply amazing. I did not worry about a thing! The cocktail hour was the best!! My guests are still talking about it! The night was absolutely perfect. The grounds are beautiful and maintained perfectly. There are SOO many great spots for pictures. The Mansion was a fantastic place to get married!“

“Great service and environment. Thanks Angie“

“We just had our 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration at Marco's. Can't say enough about Lexi, who coordinated our event. She was so attentive to all our needs and made things so easy for us. The food was fantastic and I asked my guests and everyone raved about the food. Joe and his waitstaff were "The Best". Everything went so smoothly. Check them out. You won't be disappointed! Linda B.“

“Good Service ❗Good Service ❗“

“I was having the hardest time finding somewhere with Eggs Benedict at 2pm. I told them I had little time and they got me seated and a waitress over to order immediately. Food came quick! The restaurant is clean and well kept. The staff were wonderful. The food was AWESOME. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a better eggs benedict . The servings are huge, I got a jersey boy with spinach and there was a ton of pork roll and spinach on it. Home fries were crispy. Adding this to the top of the breakfast spot list!“

“I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant by the water and happy to find it's only ten minutes from where I live. I ordered the stuffed flounder. I came back with family a few days later to show them the new place I found! We all loved the food.“

“yes good food and friends people“

“I go to one in Mount Holly once a month for lunch between work events and look forward to it. The staff is so friendly and I never have a bad meal!!“

“I took my mother to Redstone for an "early bird" Thanksgiving dinner and it was the best Thanksgiving that we've ever had outside of our own homes. 5 stars out of 5!“

“Great food !!! great people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Chicken Parm vodka meal 16 $ OMG
Better than Italy NO BS.
They beat the cutlet butter cheese etc.. get with a side of balls or sausage.. I order this weekly and the consistency of this meal is like 96%
Love the Italian Hoagie as well .. Pizza is good ..( New Yorker)
It is by far my favorite local joint.. Clean Friendly etc,,“

“Wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. Seafood tower the best part of this $300 meal for 3. Their mussels were good, but had better. Their red fish was delicious. Their keylime pie went in the garbage. Our salads came after the meal, Ceasars with bread crumbs no croutons and definitely no anchovy, which i find odd for a seafood place. I dine out quite a bit, this was mediocre at best. Wont be going back. Would consider it if they had a liquor license just for the tower.“

“Brad was the best! The most welcoming I ever felt in a restaurant. 10/10 service“

“The food was great! They serve large portions with their homemade cheese bread and cinnamon bread! Prices are reasonable. Our waiter Cesar handled our table of 9, including 3 young children with ease. We can’t wait to come back next time we are in town!“

“Food amazing and the service top notch. Waitress name Olivia and the atmosphere great . Will be a regular now . Thanks“

“Amazing food, great atmosphere and the best service.“

“I recommend everything!!! The food and staff are awesome.!!!!“

“Our pick-up order included the BLT Salad, which is a new menu item. It was exactly the best of what you would expect - crisp lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and perfectly-cooked bacon strips cut into nicely-sized short sections (so much better than the bacon bits I feared I'd get). I had it with the ranch dressing, and it was just perfection. Highly recommend - don't miss out on this! Also super-friendly, cordial service team - A+“

“We had breakfast at the Turning Point while waiting for our dog to have surgery . \n We are both avid cooks and hard to impress. The food was fresh , innovative , and delicious.. The service and ambience was as good as the food .\n We highly recommend The Turning Point“

“I had a lunch meeting up with some friends that I used to work with and we all.had a very good time. Our Server was outstanding and prompt as well as witty and humorous. We all ordered a variety of smash burgers and other burger configurations; food was very good.
All considering it was a really nice experience...thank you“

“Shout-out to PJ Whelihan's and Ashley Bailey their customer relations spokesperson for their support of the annual Medford Lakes Christmas Tree lighting ceremony! PJ's donated Christmas cookies for the enjoyment of all community members who came out for the event. PJ's is a wonderful supporter of many activities and events in our community, and I am grateful for their help this year.“

“My first time at the yard house and I’ll be back! It seemed a little busy but a table for two was a quick 10-15 mins. Our waitress was very nice and had a good flow of service. She checked on us just enough and our drinks and food came out in good timing.
I had an old fashioned which was balanced well. We had the Brussels sprouts, shrimp app, and spicy beef noodles. Everything tasted great and we will definitely be back and I can’t wait to come for football season!“

“There are many selections on the menu for a great brunch. Many healthy options offered too. The service is great and we just like it. 😋🥰“

“Im fairly new to the area. I have dined here around 4 times. They just keep getting better and better. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with a smile. Wait staff are outstanding. The menu I adore. Classic diner food with a twist made with fresh ingredients. Nothing but love for the Vincentown Diner.“

“A really awesome diner probably the best I have ever been to!!! Everyone was very pleasant and happy especially Denise G who was our server!!! She was very nice and made our experience there even better, she was very friendly and the food was the best I ever had!!! Definitely gonna be back there again!!!“

“Phil and his family are amazing. They are so nice and keep my tummy very happy. Way worth it to spend 2 3 extra bucks over wawa for a sandwich here. They care, it’s always fresh and delicious. My favorite hoagie shop to support. Hands down my favorite. Also love they are small business and very family involved and ran. Just beautiful all around and I can’t believe it took me 5 years of being a customer to leave a review.“

“My go to pub, delicious food, great atmosphere. If you like to have a good time out at the bar then this is the spot!“

“Been having their Valentine’s Day dinner there for the last 8 years. ALWAYS an amazing time. The food is exceptional. Their Chef is OUTSTANDING!!! Staff is so professional, knowledgeable, and FUN!!! BEST risotto!!!!!!!“
