New American Restaurants near Hightstown, NJ

“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!“

“Delicious food & cocktails ❤️“

“As you can see from the photo everything was GREAT. (Couldn’t finish the burger cause we over ate, but definitely took that home.) we order the honey soy wings to start they were impeccably crispy and tasted amazing. Our main dishes were the Korean burger with sweet potato fries & the gochujang pasta. Wasn’t sure what to really expect from them but I’m glad I took the risk because it was probably the best meal I had all week haha. Our friend order some type of beef short rib dish on bed of mashed potatoes I believe that I tried and it was very decadent and if that’s your thing then you won’t be disappointed. To finish we ordered some boba teas to go and that was the perfect cherry on top to our meal. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. It was really refreshing to find a restaurant that was so consistent from the waiting staff to the final product. Thanks for giving us a lovely night. (Side note: It’s BYOB)“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Consistently excellent food and atmosphere“

“Stopped there for Easter after being disappointed by another place. From the nice atmosphere to the great service all were very happy! They really turned our day from bad to good! Great place every time I have been there!“

“My server was awesome and told me that the duck confit flatbread was amazing, and it was. Great lunch spot, or just spot in general. A bit pricey but you can find menu items under 20 pretty easily. Great drinks, too. And free WiFi helps...

Update: returned again, have been many times and im always impressed. Brought my parents and sister this time and everyone loved their food. So good!!“

“The BEST Greek food I’ve had in NJ. Highly recommend. Their lemon potatoes, lemon chicken soup and Greek fries are so fresh.“

“Haven't set foot inside Docks since 2004 for no other reason than it's a little out of the way from home and I'm not much of a drinker. I've been working in the area again for about a year and wanted to find a local spot to go with some coworkers and figured since it was close, why not try Docks. I happened across a picture of one of their burgers and had to try one since having my gallbladder removed and being able to once again enjoy the occasional bacon cheeseburger. Stopped there tonight with a coworker, got the Houston Burger and let me tell you... it was incredible. Burger was well seasoned and juicy (even though I always order well done) and the bacon was top quality. The prices were fantastic and my coworker said they had one of the best Guinness draughts he's had in a long time. Definitely see it turning into a to-do after work more often.“

“Just recently visited for the first time....my daughter treated me for my birthday...great original margarita.....seared tuna steak ....perfectly prepared...Chilean sea bass over creamy rice...looking forward to next time🍹🍰“

“We are staying in the area for only a week and have eaten dinner there 3 times. We have had ravioli with vodka sauce (change from menu), patty melt, chicken soup, salad, and broiled flounder. Everything has been very good. Service has been quick and we probably will eat there again before we head south.“

“My Wife & I dined at Orchard Park on Friday Evening, she had the Chicken, I had the Filet, both were outstanding. More outstanding was Evan our server. In all our years we've never had a better server ANYWHERE. His knowledge of the food served at Orchard Park and the differences and similarities of Chef David Burke's other restaurants was very informative. Evan offered some suggestions/alternates for some items on the menu that my Wife was unsure about and his suggestions were perfect and just what she was looking for. His tableside presentation of our meal included putting the finishing touches on the Clothesline Bacon right in front of us was a real treat. Evan made sure that our glasses were never empty and and that at no time were we unsatisfied with our dining experience. His Service was A++ and they have a real Gem with him on their roster. We will be requesting to sit in his section on our next visit to Orchard Park.“

“We had not been to the Peacock Inn for years. We sat at the bar and were blown away with the bartender, service and amazing food. I have been disappointed with some of our experience lately but we give the Peacock Inn a 5 star recommendation. Thank you!“

“Exceptional in Every Way! My experience at 390 Prime Steak and Seafood was nothing short of phenomenal. From the impeccable service to the unforgettable flavors, this restaurant is a true gem. The attention to detail in every dish and the warm ambiance made for an evening I'll cherish. If you're seeking a culinary adventure that exceeds expectations, look no further than 390 Prime Steak and Seafood.“

“Great atmosphere. We’ll definitely comeback.“

“Wonderful, Wonderful & Wonderful!“

“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!“

“Growing up in a large city there were many neighborhood options for a quick meal and a family favorite was the local Chinese restaurant. I was happy to find this spot when I moved to Princeton. It is unpretentious, providing familiar and tasty food at fair prices with quick, no-frills but friendly service.“

“This place reminds me of Rutgers grease trucks or Cherry Valley in LI.

Think greasy spoon hoagies - so you know what territory of "sandwich" you're getting into.

We got the Sanchez (chicken, mozz sticks and I opted for no fries) and the cheesesteak (not like the real Philly cheesesteak but still pretty tasty with extra cheese).

Only takeout available, and a half size was plenty enough for us!“
