33 Best American Restaurants near High Bridge

“Amazing Friday night music and incredible atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“Stage Fright had a blast playing at Mrs. Riley’s! The staff were very welcoming and we loved the vibe. Definitely a place to go & hangout, have some drinks and a bite with your friends & listen to Live Music.“

“Best breakfast ever! It’s always worth the drive. It’s difficult to decide from all the amazing options!“

“The staff are all kind, helpful, accommodating, and genuinely there to make your evening perfect. Chris the hostess was wonderful, as well as the many servers who all willingly supported Gary, the owner, to provide the best service and culinary experience possible for his dinner guests. The menu is one of the best we have seen in the area with many international dishes, some with the labor intensive Indian nuances, and others just with downright phenomenal flavors. Although they have lots of standard fare for the UNadventurous eater, I would suggest you reach past your comfort zone and try some of the appetizers that jump out as potential winners...like the tuna tartare that with just a splash of Japanese Rice wine vinegar would be one of the best I have ever had, as well as the grilled Tandoori shrimp that is marinated in yogurt, ginger, cloves nutmeg, and dried mango; the grilled lamp chops that come with three perfectly grilled meaty garlicky chops that come with mango chutney, and the Haryali chicken Tikka- three huge plump boneless breast of chicken slices that are marinated in mint, yogurt, roasted cloves, green cardamom and star anise, and served with their famous tiger sauce and salsa. We also shared another marinated shredded beef dish special that had three beef croquette-shaped mounds that had such a umami of flavors I can't even replicate it in this review, but we thought it was just great. I would be remiss if I did not mention the creamy, silky crème brûlée that we enjoyed with a glass of Prosecco; a perfect encore to the phenomenal culinary treat we had just experienced with the appetizer medley. Sharing many apps is more fun we think, than committing to one big entree, so we suggest that you dash over to the Pittstown Inn TONIGHT, and tell them Debbie and Gene sent you....ask to meet Gary, the owner, who elegantly floats from table to table, touching each to greet them and to check later on as well to see if everything was to their liking. A true host from days gone by, this owner is the real deal whose passion for the hospitality business emulates from his constant smile from the joy he is getting from making his guests happy. You see that what fuels this man to keep opening his doors from year to year, despite the many hardships and setbacks life has dealt us all over and over, is his love for you, his loyal customer. He is a rare find, so I suggest you go and treat yourself to the real deal in dining. You will not be disappointed, and be sure to ask to meet Gary. He will make your visit complete. Kudos the phenomenal chefs I met as well, for their expertise and genuine ingenuity in designing a menu to please everyone. Can you tell we LOVE this place??????????“

“My three year old daughter and I went for lunch last week. It was such a treat! I ordered the delicious fried mozzarella (out of this world!) and had the chicken taco specials while my daughter had chicken tenders. Yummy!!!!! For dessert we had pumpkin pie gelato and the birthday cake cupcake. To die for! I highly recommend!“

“Really fun atmosphere and awesome food will deff go back! Great place to take fam and kids. 😌“

“Amazing breakfast and wonderful staff. The banana bread French toast was delicious. I highly recommend.“

“Excellent seasoning options! The vendor booth at Bellevue Rocks had a great sale and free samples so you could make sure you really liked each flavor before buying. Loved that the ingredients are clearly listed on each packet (real crab in the crab dip for those of us with shellfish allergies). Versatile flavors and makes great dips! Little pricey $30 for 7 packets but I felt it was worth it!“

“Nice Place to Eat. Food is good.“

“Popped in here for lunch when I was visiting Clinton. Started off with their Fried Cheese Curds. These honestly were some of the best I’ve ever had. They were like snacks that you could just keep popping into your mouth, just would melt in your mouth. As for my main entree, I order the Baja Smash Burger. Which the combination of avocados, peppers, onions, chipotle mayo, tomatoes, etc… worked very well. It was delicious, I got a side of sweet potato fries with it, these were decent. I will say the coleslaw was not that great. But this is a good breakfast/lunch spot if you are on the main strip of Clinton.“

“Huge shout out to the Farmhouse in Hampton, NJ! We were able to plan a wedding in only 3.5 months because of this dedicated and talented team. The entire experience was easy, fun, and professional. The entire team was reliable, organized, and efficient which gave us ability to have peace of mind throughout the process. Gina Milo took such great care of us leading up to and on the day our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with this venue and the amazing staff!“

“Had such a great server the other night. We were a “chatty” group of gal pals and having fun and our server was just amazing! Drinks were great. The meatball app was excellent“

“Been a fan of Riley and Jake’s for Years! This week I made reservations for a group of 15 ladies. Arrival times varied from 5.30-6:30 and departure times varied too. Our server, Anna took it all in stride. She was friendly and very efficient. Appreciated her cheerfulness and patience. Food was delicious and the cocktails, I’m told were refreshing. Thank you to Jake and Riley’s for another wonderful experience!“

“Great service, classy, food is always fresh and delicious..drinks are great 💯 recommend.“

“Enjoy the cozy atmosphere and people are nice and the food is good!!“

“Always a great time!! 🍻🍔🍕“

“Excellent food, excellent atmosphere! This place takes the ordinary tavern to the next level with their creative food and drink menu. It was my first visit but not my last, definitely check it out!“

“Food was great, we were in for breakfast. The waitress was not very pleasant, like we were a distraction from her conversation with possible regular customer at counter.
We enjoy coming here and have had happier and more pleasant waitress experience.“

“Amazing sandwiches today from Jerry’s and the onion rings were fabulous!!“

“Every bit of our experience was phenomenal!! Greeting, service, management, cleanliness of restaurant, amazing food, and our great server Ariana F. who is so kind, attentive and informative! This is our new favorite restaurant which we will surely frequent often. Thanks for an amazing dinner!“

“Not sure why everything was super expensive but it was good and service was amazing. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but staying at hotel and too cold outside to go anywhere I definitely would eat here. Just want to say thank you to the people that prepared my French toast, it was so good.“

“Food, Guinness, and service was great as always!!“

“Oakwood Lanes is the BEST! Had a great time at our group event today. Such kind people, and we had so much fun!!!! Great fun, great food, and wonderful people who run the business made it a memorable event. Thank you! 😃“

“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.“

“This deli is my go-to spot! Their tuna salad over romaine with peppers, onions, olives, cucumber, and feta is absolute perfection—fresh, flavorful, and always made just right. The service is fantastic, and the staff is incredibly friendly, making every visit a great experience. Highly recommend!“

“Food was surprisingly good. I had a chicken Parm sandwich and my wife had a chicken club. We both enjoyed the meal. Service was quick, friendly and accurate. The restaurant was empty, even though the bowling alley was mobbed. The restaurant didn't look or feel at all like a bowling alley, but you could hear the bowling going on.“

“If you’re looking for an absolutely delicious ice cream cake made with love- look no further. We are a huge ice cream cake family- our daughter wanted a cookie dough and cookies and cream ice cream cake for her birthday and Williams and Co. did not disappoint. We will never order one from anywhere else! Their communication, flexibility, and passion for what they do is unmatchable. Thank you so much for making our girl’s celebration that much sweeter!“

“Crash delicious, while food from a company that has a great sustainability consciousness“

“This little gem was quite the pleasant surprise on our way through NJ. Wings are crispy skin and tender, the onion rings are perfect with the chipotle aioli and the mozzarella wedges had about a foot of cheese pull! My husband had the Rail burger. He couldn’t finish it because it was so big. One patty but about an inch thick and actually fits the whole bun. Daughters had the poke bowl and chicken quesadillas. So much food and they both said both things were the best they’ve had in their life (14 and 16) and they’ve had those A LOT!

Staff was friendly and I felt bad there was really only one person serving all tables at lunch plus bartending. Service didn’t slack because of this! She kept up with all tables and she busted her butt!

I cannot give this place enough kudos. Great food, amazing service!! In a quiet little town but would be worth the drive to go here again from Ohio. Go check them out. It’ll be worth it!“

“Really good. Pleasant outdoor seating. Loved the pretzel knots. Good beer, sweet potato fries for most part were good. Would have enjoyed a dipping sauce for fries and for my prime rib sliders drummies were good but could have used a sauce“

“Great dinner! Great service,,“

“Nasty, rude waitress who doesn't wash her hands after using the restroom. 🤢🤮“

“This Buffalo Wild Wings location is a fantastic spot to catch a game. The atmosphere is top-notch, with multiple games on a variety of TVs. We were there to watch the Penn State game, and the manager put it on the biggest screen for us.

The food was also a highlight. The Pick 6 meal deal was a perfect choice for two, offering a little bit of everything. Originally only $19.99 we were able to upgraded some areas of the meal and for just $27, we enjoyed delicious buffalo wings, a cheeseburger, fries, and potato wedges with soft drinks and a dessert. The skillet ice cream dessert with a hot cookie was the perfect way to cap off the meal.

What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was our waitress, Ava. She was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our food and drinks arrived quickly. She even persevered after accidentally burning her thumb on the hot skillet dessert, which speaks volumes about her dedication.

With the excellent service, great food deals, and sport centric atmosphere, I highly recommend this Buffalo Wild Wings for anyone looking to enjoy a game.“
