50 Best American Restaurants near Harrison

“I honestly loved Keepers. The vibe is incredible… it feels cozy and cool at the same time and the space is perfect whether you go for breakfast brunch or dinner. The dining room is beautiful too the décor is so well done and the whole place just feels really inviting.

The service was amazing and the food was honestly so good. And I have to say this… the best sangria I’ve ever had was here. I asked for a sweet sangria and they made it exactly how I like it and OMG it was delicious.

Such a great spot… I can’t wait to go back.“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“I met a couple of my old coworkers there December 20th after 4 years. I wanted to go to a highly rated family-run place and this establishment didn't disappoint. The burgers, meatloaf and pita wraps were excellent. The owner Vinnie greeted us and seated us, then came by to chat with us. The server was attentive and seemed to like her job. About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the Harrison PATH station. I will be making future visits there with old collegues.“

“If you’re looking for a hidden gem - no frills, I repeat, no frills type of place - Woods is your spot.Full disclosure: Nivea (the bartender) is my mom and has bartended alongside Tony and his wife (the owners) for more than 20 years. My mom loves the place so much, you can find her there on her off days. Tony is the man! One of a kind.The place is special - a perfect, dive bar with Portuguêse flair. Make sure you bring cash for the jukebox and pool table, and order an espresso with Sambuca.“

“I went to this place in a clutch. Wanted some food and a drink after a late show at NJPAC in Newark after midnight. It is bar food; jalapeño poppers, wings, burger, etc but very good. The bartender was courteous and despite it appeared most patrons were usuals, we were treated well being it was a first time for us there.“

“Just got back from a thoroughly enjoyable meal at Shaw-naé’s House on Van Duzer. The sangria was plentiful, the food was fresh, hot and tasty, the wait staff attentive, and the ambience was perfecto (my wife sang to ALL the songs!). Too full for dessert, but I was eyeing that peach cobbler! Next time!“

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“Jeff made us feel at home! I originally came in from Brooklyn, NY to come visit a friend out in Jersey! My first time here felt like I’ve been here before. Jeff recommended some special sauces to us for the wings and it stands out compared to other places. We allowed us to taste test a hot sauce, which wasn’t just hot, but flavorful as well! He held wonderful conversations with us and was able to relate to us in a lot of ways. His engagement made us want to come back! I’ll be here once again if I find myself around town again. The cook was cool too! Thanks again Jeff 🙌🏾“

“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had our annual holiday dinner with friends on 12/21/25. We were a party of 9. The service was fantastic. Tiernan was our server and he and the team were exceptional. Great cocktails and menu recommendations. Friendly and attentive without being intrusive at all. We will definitely be back.“

“Had a few hours to kill before my flight at EWR. Looked up restaurants near the airport, found this and I’m so glad I did. Friendly staff, delicious Beyond Burger wrap w sweet potato tots, and a deeeeelish freshly made strawberry lemonade. Highly recommend! I’m keeping this place in my fav saves. If I’m ever back in Newark NJ I’m def stopping back. That drink was so perfect for the hot day!“

“Jenn did such an amazing job taking care of me at Ruby Tuesday! It was my first time visiting The Mills at Jersey Gardens, which you can imagine is a very overwhelming experience (especially in December!). I decided to come to Ruby Tuesday to figure out a game plan & decompress and she was nothing short of kind, responsive, and prompt!! I would definitely come back to Ruby Tuesday for Jenn’s service and kindness(:“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“We were in from out of town, staying in New Jersey as our home base for day trips into NYC. On our first night we drove to Hamilton Park to take in views of the skyline, and then were looking for a place to eat with our two nieces. We found Fork Hill Kitchen and are so glad we did. We did not have reservations, but arriving around 5:30, they were able to accommodate our party of 4 and seat us right away. The food, drinks, ambiance, and service were all top notch. The gentleman that showed us to our seat was charming and when he found out we were in from out of town, he chatted with us for a bit, and made us feel so welcome. We each got a different dessert and everyone raved about theirs. Just a really lovely, cozy, welcoming place, with delicious food. Thanks for a great first night of our magical December NYC trip!“

“The best Wiener Schnitzel outside Austria!!!!👍“

“Fabulous Thanksgiving experience. Our party included a person who uses a wheelchair, and everyone at Chadwick’s could not have been more gracious and accommodating. Truly exceptional.“

“Excellent start to the day!!“

“Loved everything about this place, from the great service to the even better food. The staff is super attentive, and there is more than enough space in the restaurant even when it got packed towards the end of our meal. The food was absolutely amazing (be sure to get the sweet potato fritters) and the cocktail menu has something for everyone! I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Great experience with great friends we are from Puerto Rico and Boston . In loving with the Turkey dinner offer“

“New Terry’s Cozy Corner offers a delightful, homey dining experience that truly lives up to its name. The food is simple yet delicious, with standout breakfast options like their famous Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a roll, perfectly cooked omelets, and fluffy pancakes. The home fries are a crowd favorite, crispy and well-seasoned. If you're a fan of hearty, classic breakfast fare, this is the place to be. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, thanks to its family-owned operation, where the staff is known for being friendly and attentive. The diner serves fresh coffee that pairs wonderfully with any meal, making it a perfect spot for a cozy morning start. With affordable prices, generous portions, and consistently tasty food, it's no wonder locals come back regularly. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy a relaxed breakfast, New Terry’s Cozy Corner is a must-visit for anyone looking for a comforting and satisfying meal“

“So didn't know what to expect,But the food and owner were great had mozzarella sticks they were out of the park and sauce was great Then we each had a chicken sandwich and no complaints It was juicy not dry so all I can say is 5 stars“

“My husband and I are total foodies and love supporting small businesses, and this place was recommended to us by a friend. We were in the mood for something that felt like a dinner date without heading too far from home, and Adour totally hit the mark. Let me tell you, for the affordable prices, the quality of the food blew us away. The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for cozy, elevated, and with great vibes all around. We kept it classic with a rosé and a Hugo Spritz (both so refreshing), for starters we got the mussels in tomato sauce, and for dinner we ordered the lamb chops and the Adour burger with truffle fries - absolutely to die for. We ended the night with their apple crumble dessert, and it was the perfect finish. 😍 Bonus: they serve brunch, too! No need to trek to JC or Hoboken for that cute, trendy, affordable brunch spot, it’s right here in the neighborhood. Tell George I sent you! 😏“

“I hosted my Ladies Who Lead brunch at The St. Clair yesterday, and I could not be more impressed. From the moment we arrived, the hostess and staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of. A special thank-you to Leo, our waiter, who delivered exceptional service the entire time — attentive, warm, and on point with every detail.

And the food… absolutely delicious.
The French toast, the autumn hash, the oatmeal pancakes, and that biscuit — the biscuit deserves its own shout-out — everything was outstanding. Every plate was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

The aesthetics and ambiance of the restaurant were just perfect for our event: warm, stylish, and inviting. It created the ideal backdrop for a memorable afternoon with an incredible group of women.

I highly recommend The St. Clair for brunch, events, or anytime you want a great meal paired with amazing service. I’ll definitely be returning.“

“Sat at the bar and CT was serving. She provided awesome service !“

“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.“

“We discovered Mathew's just yesterday and enjoyed a great lunch with their extremely pleasant staff. We'll be back.“

“Stopped be for a preflight bite and a mimosa. Both breakfasts were delicious. Coffee was great. Prosecco is n top. Rosemary was behind the bar, so friendly.“

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

“Incoyable! Delicious! Brisket fantastic!“

“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.“

“I needed some real Italian food so I did my due diligence and came here! They did not disappoint! I ordered a chicken parm and 2 cheesesteaks. When I got home and opened both sandwiches immediately your hit with quality ingredients and the taste OMG! Both sandwiches hit the spot LITERALLY! NO HESITATION GO NOW IMMEDIATELY if you’re in the mood for good made to order fresh quality PIZZA, SANDWICHES AND PASTA!“

“Good atmosphere and great service.“

“Highly recommend! We had our wedding at Galloping Hill Golf Course in the summer of 2025. The day was everything we could have hoped for and everything went so smooth! We worked with Emily throughout the process and she was great to communicate with. Any questions were answered right away. We wanted a venue that had both inside and outdoor options and loved that it had a covered patio for use all night. Ellis was our day of coordinator and both of our bridal attendants made the day run so smooth. Our guests loved cocktail hour and dinner. There was a great amount of food we went with the seafood station, pasta, Brazilian, and Chinese. We also did the breakfast sandwiches to go for the end of the night! The golf course made great photo backgrounds as well. We had the best time and would do it all over again if we could!“

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“PJ Clarke’s on Hudson was an absolute standout. The New York oysters were incredibly fresh and some of the best I’ve had. Service was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The food overall was outstanding—classic, well-executed, and full of flavor. A fantastic spot for great seafood and top-notch hospitality.“

“Seasonal dishes fresh and beautifully presented! Friendly and helpful team with excellent dish recommendations :)“

“Great meal and great service in their lovely outdoor garden.“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service.. I’m coming back and bringing friends and family! I definitely recommend it!“

“I really love this place, wish I lived closer, its just really good vibes, service, love the food, I haven't had the same thing twice and never been disappointed. I highly recommend you come here, on a date, by yourself, a small group. Looking forward to my next visit. Sorry i didn't take any photos, it looked so good I forgot. Enjoy 🥰“

“Service is always great. But the quality of the veggie burger has gone downhill :( They use a different type of veg patty now that isn't as tasty. And always seems to be very overcooked or undercooked to the point that it's inedible. I really hope they bring back the old ingredients because it used to be my fav dish to order!“

“My husband and I went on Valentine's Day. For 30 years I have been hearing about it and never went thinking it wasn't my cup of tea. Well its not but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Food was better than I expected but we were not there for the food. We were there for the spectacle and show. Medieval Times delivered. The horses, the jousting, the falcon , the pageantry was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Service was warm, welcoming and efficient. Definitely recommend going at least once!“

“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!!“
