31 Best American Restaurants near Hightstown

“Went today with my family for brunch It was the best. My son is vegan, He also really enjoyed this great food“

“My wife and I are on the #eatjersey challenge to visit and have a meal in all 564 towns of NJ. We chose Tavern on the Lake for Hightstown, our 150th town.

Great eats and comfort food in a place that is at the center of the town. They have a fantastic beer selection on draft that rotates over time. For the fall season, we had a Hot Toddy and Spiked Cider. The French dip sandwich and crab cakes were great.

When there's warmer weather, they have a great outdoor patio too!“

“Anthony’s Chicken & Grill has amazing cheesesteaks and their cheeseburgers are great too! The restaurant is always clean and the staff friendly and helpful“

“My company and I had a rack of ribs with rice and broccoli, a million dollar cobb salad with salmon instead of chicken. Well done and whiskey glazed ribs. Outstanding. Just outstanding. My compliments to the chef. My only disappointment is that they shut down so many TGIF restaurants and I had to drive so far to find this one. However, it was well worth it. The other problem was they seemed to be low staffed and the young lady who was serving me was very busy and having somewhat of a hard time keeping up.“

“Excellent food and service as always! Highly recommend“

“First time and absolutely loved it ; we give a 5+ star rating- great beer/hard cider & and amazing burgers (fried green tomato—yum!) with a unique flare & fries were amazing, along with a cozy atmosphere! Highly recommend.“

“Had a mocha, the country omelette, and home fries. The mocha and home fries were some of the best I’ve ever had. The country omelette was also excellent: the eggs were cooked perfectly. I will be coming back and bringing family and friends. A great addition to Princeton’s downtown. Excellent service and ambiance, to boot!“

“Outstanding. a real fantastic place in Princeton, NJ city centre. Refined, nice people, fantastic food, outstanding wine list, umbeatable cocktails. simply perfect“

“Great quality, well presented food in an upscale, but unassuming environment. Perfect for lunch with friends, colleagues, or a date night!

As a vegan, the variety of dishes to choose from was a relative rarity and greatly appreciated! I had the sweet potato and bean chilli which was really tasty, well balanced, gorgeously presented, hearty - the perfect dish for autumn. The plant based dishes were so well designed that my colleagues, both of whom eat meat, opted for vegan meals too!

The farm to table concept is fabulous and the quality of ingredients is noticeable on the first bite. Each staff member we had the pleasure of interacting with was lovely, and the service was excellent throughout.

Thank you Agricola team!“

“Winberie’s is my favorite restaurant in Princeton. The food and the service is consistently excellent. Whenever I’m in NJ I have at least one meal at Winberie’s. I really appreciate the healthier choices on the menu.“

“Greatest food. Nicest servers!!!“

“Was checking my out for a possible birthday party location and found the manager and staff to be very helpful and accommodating. The space is ample and the golf course looked great. I'd gone over earlier in the day and arrived as a post-golf tournament banquet was getting underway. If the smell of the food being served was a good indicator. It must be delicious. Will be returning this week to test/taste that theory out!“

“Absolutely the best burger period!! Great fries and drinks! MILKSHAKES Yum!!“

“Really great facility lots of turf fields a good snack stand just excellent all around.“

“We’ve stayed here annually for 16 years. It’s a pass through for us. One night but friendly and helpful staff good food and we seen the same FD staff for the past 12 years. Even during Covid we stayed, they cared even though the kitchen was closed they advised us where to get take out. It is a comfortable, friendly place to stay.“

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.“

“Celebrating 3 birthdays at Roots Ocean Prime with 8 people. Everyone loved their entrees (steaks ) which were cooked perfectly. Sides were tasty and enjoyed by everyone. Great wine list. Appreciated the wine recommendation by our server. Our server, Rachel, was excellent. The birthday desserts were the hit of the dinner! Thank you Roots Ocean Prime for making the birthday celebration extra special!“

“I had a great experience at Iron & Ivy! I loveeeee going to hotel restaurants! I feel like I'm on a sense of vacation even though I'm not staying over! When you walk into Iron & Ivy, you're greeted by a beautiful fireplace and bright, stocked bar! The hostess was so sweet and recommended amazing menu options! We started off with the quesadillas and the bourbon bbq wings! When I tell you, the quesadillas were top 5 all time, they are TOP 5! They didn't fall apart and were toasted to perfection as well as loaded with shrimp and cheese and beans and corn! It was PHENOMENAL! For dinner we ordered the Grilled Flat Iron Steak and the Spinach & Roasted Garlic Tortellini! The veggies were so delicious and it was a huge portion that I was able to bring home for lunch the next day! For drinks, you couldn't go wrong with the dirty martini, the very berry martini and the Soccer Mom Lemonade! It was a great night overall and they have a huge inside / outside dining area! Highly recommend checking out Iron & Ivy and make sure you order the quesadillas because they are LIFE CHANGING!“

“our server Gianna was the best server I’ve ever had. she should get a raise because she’s super nice and funny. she made the experience really good and we want to come again“

“A hidden jewel. This 50's themed diner is always immaculate. Staff is well trained and really friendly for this family owned business. We, until recently, worked our business from home so Chris's is our home from home. Always accommodating, food is excellent, prices fair. My happy place❤“

“The food here never fails to impress. It’s fresh, tasty, and expertly made. The staff are friendly, attentive, and work really hard to make your dining experience ( inside or takeout/delivery) an enjoyable one. We visit a couple of times a week!!“
