New American Restaurants near Hillsdale, NJ

“Enjoy this place almost weekly. Very affordable pricing, super quick delivery and great rewards program. Only complaint is consistency. Always select "Thin Crust" "Well Done". Some days it is, some days it isn't. Some times it just comes normal crust, normal doneness, some times both, some times one or the other. Pizza is pretty good either way.“

“No, but seriously, the food is delicious! Breakfast is prepared in a matter of minutes, and there is a wide range of options available, including drinks, bagel flavors, and even syrups for food items. Second visit, with many more. Thank you, guys.“

“I have been going to G's for over 20 years. The food is excellent. I love the breakfast burrito with chorizo, and their tortas, and their flautas. Everything thing is outstanding. They make great coffee The service is awesome. Very nice.“

“4.5 stars My brother and I were trying to find a nice spot to meet for dinner, and after sending him a long list of places, he selected St. Eve's. We were both really intrigued by their interesting, seasonal menu and were excited to give the restaurant a shot. The space might not look like much from the outside, where it is located on the end of a small strip mall, but the inside was very charming! There was a "bar" with a view of the kitchen, but the place is BYOB (with a liquor store literally next to it), so it was more of a counter. There were also two main dining areas with white tableclothed tables. Very quickly after we were seated at one of these quaint tables, the server stopped by to greet us and pour some water. We also received a small wooden board that was topped with slices of, not only soft white bread, but fresh banana bread as well! I had never received banana bread in a dinner bread service, but I was thrilled! We decided to start out by sharing 2 appetizers. The Filet Mignon Ravioli were apparently one of their most popular menu items, and we could clearly see why. The delicate noodles were encasing huge helpings of steak, and its toppings of red-wine braised short ribs and porcini mushroom broth were umami heaven. The Brussels Sprout Salad included apples, golden raisins, and a heavy sprinkling of funky pecorino cheese. It was another winner. For our entrees, we both opted for the Alaskan Halibut, which was topped with an aromatic truffle butter. It was served with roasted vegetables and lemon potatoes. The fish itself was perfectly-cooked, but the truffle flavor made the dish that much better. Lastly, we shared the Apple and Pear Crumble with vanilla ice cream for dessert. The fruity filling was fresh and not overly sugary or syrupy. The crumb topping was plentiful, which is how I like it! The vanilla ice cream was flavorful as well. Before we could leave, the manager (owner?), who was a very sweet woman, stopped by to hear about our experience, which we heavily praised. St. Eve's is truly a hidden gem worth visiting!“

“We tried the Zinger & Hella Juicy burgers, Fries with Garlic sauce and Spicy Fries. We were amazed with the quantity and quality of food.Topped it up with Fried Orio ice cream, again absolutely on spot.It is a small takeout place with a 10 seating spots. After tasting the food I wasn’t surprised to find that the owner is a five star banquet chef with very high aspirations.“

“John Iachetti himself came to our house and was my fiancée and I private chief. I proposed to my fiancée that day and he prepared an amazing meal for us. The food was amazing and he was so kind, thoughtful and informative about all the dishes, describing every piece of the plate with detail. He truly helped made the night extremely special and my fiancée and I could not have been happier! 10 out of 10!“

“We absolutely love Sage. We do a lot of take out. The short ribs with rigatoni and ricotta is absolutely delicious. My husband is a chicken parm person and enjoys that every time. The salmon dishes are very good as well as the shrimp. The fried calamari with the ti sauce is not to be missed. We've held graduation from college party at Sage and food always a hit. The gentlemen at the front has been there for years may be owner super nice man and always pleasant.“

“Our absolute favorite, go-to restaurant. The service is great - the owner is welcoming (even once escorted our toddler to the c-store next door to buy some candy) and all the wait staff is great, especially Jason who is incredibly kind. Food is excellent quality and fairly priced for how good it is. Pastas are cooked perfect al dente. Great meat dishes especially the pork chop french cut. The desserts are quite good as well - love the coconut cake. Because it's not huge it isn't quiet but we've never found it to be uncomfortably loud and it has a great ambience.“

“What a wonderful experience to cheer up a rainy day. We decided to go to Season 52 for a late lunch. The staff was welcoming and we we’re immediately seated. Our waitress Aycan was extremely pleasant, informative and accommodating. She went above and beyond to provide us with outstanding service and always with a smile. The old fashion cocktails were all great tasting. My only suggestion would be to replace the multiple ice cubes with a single block of ice meant for old fashions. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The sea bass was cooked to perfection and tasty and the ahi crunch salad was delicious as well. The rotisserie chicken was flavorful and well prepared. The taste was on point. Everyone in our party enjoyed the experience such that we would be visiting again on the future.“

“One the best if not the best restaurant in Bergen County. The cauliflower appetizer is outstanding. I had the sole veronique. Perfectly cooked and incredible. My wife had the chicken Milanese and the chicken moist, not greasy in the least . Definitely recommend it.“

“Authentic and tasty food. From a variety of menu you can enjoy any meal plus an excellent service and good quality in exchange. I highly recommend this place for any occasion, especially they do an amazing job with catering. Definitely one of my favorite coffees.“

“This place is WONDERFUL. I came here with my son after spending the afternoon at Urban Air Adventure Park. We got two half box orders of boneless thighs (original crispy and soy garlic/sweet & spicy), fries, and water. The chicken took about 15-20 minutes to cook, but it was well worth the wait. My son (the pickiest eater in the world) LOVED the boneless thighs, and even the French fries. I thought everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The flavors were all fantastic, with the soy garlic being my favorite. The fries were also some of the best fries I've ever had. Super crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. The food also came with Cole slaw which was DELICIOUS, and I say this as someone who normally strays away from Cole slaw.Customer service was excellent. The woman at the front was very friendly and clear with describing the food. Their presentation was top notch also. The food was packaged beautifully and even the bag it came in was just really well designed. It was like opening a holiday gift of delicious food. I would highly recommend paying this place a visit, although you'll probably have to do take out since they have limited seating. That's probably the only downside I can think of, but they still deserve 5 stars overall“

“It was a first visit here and we loved our breakfast. Estrella's Cafe was very clean and cozy. They have a bar, fresh juicer, and a full menu for all parts of the day. The breakfast menu has many items with Spanish influence so it took a few minutes to decide what to order. The Spanish breakfast had a nice assortment and everything was fresh. The breakfast picaditas were also prepared perfectly and came with a wonderful Pico de Gallo, which stood out. You could see it was obviously freshly chopped that morning, using all fresh ingredients. It added a brightness to every bite. The maduros hit home too. They were crisp on the outside, with a jammy plantain inside. Tortillas had such a nice aroma. Coffee was good here. Not weak and refilled plenty of times without my asking. Melvin was very friendly and happy to tell me all about their specials, including a crispy duck offered on Fridays and octopus on weekends, which I can't wait to try someday. I did sample a bit of sangria too and it's very balanced. Tastes like juice, but Melvin assured me there's tequila and wine in there! Estrella's does charge a credit card fee (a bit peeve of mine), which doesn't appear on the check. After walking away with my credit card, it was brought back and the fee was explained before processing. I am at least grateful for the heads up, without just appearing as a surprise after running my card through. I switched to cash then, so keep this in mind if you visit. Overall, we were happy. We'd certainly return for breakfast and will likely try dinner someday. Parking was easy since it was a weekday morning, though I'm sure it'll be more of a challenge parking in this area at dinnertime.“

“My husband and I love this place! Great atmosphere, decor, staff, drinks and food! A modern Irish pub! If we lived closer, we'd be here weekly! Tommy and Caroline are fantastic bartenders! We truly feel at home when dining at Reilly's! Highly recommend!There's a huge public parking lot down the road if you can't find parking in front.“

“Mandatory tip of 20% if you spend over $100 with a credit card. They don’t tell you, so a lot of my friends and colleagues were double tipping for over a year - the staff doesn’t say anything. Otherwise, best vibes of any bar, amazing food, amazing drinks, amazing music, amazing ambiance.“

“The food the service and even the bartenders was great. We only had to wait about 15 minutes so we sat at the bar the bartender was very nice and polite. Overall our experience was amazing service and all was great even though where they were very busy that night it was just amazingly great we will be “

“to start off the service is amazing . staff is super helpful and accommodating making sure customers are satisfied. they have a wide selection of food, so there is always something to order for everyone, even those who are more picky than others. they also have live music and restaurant is very spacious and great for a date night, family/friend get togethers. always down to go here and i’m not even from new jersey!“

“If it’s brunch, lunch or dinner Just Janice is the perfect spot. Amazing staff and great food. Couple favorites are the pancakes for brunch, fish tacos for lunch and for dinner definitely penne vodka. Janice and Ali are so sweet and treat everyone like family!“

“Great little pub with an old school local vibe. Burgers and wings are very good. The wings are on the larger side so if you're more into the smaller wings with less meat on the bone you may not love them.My kids love the pizza. I'm a little more neutral on it due to the crust leaning a little towards a "store bought" type. But the sauce and toppings are spot on.The employees are great across the board. They all seem to enjoy working there vs just "having a job". Good place to hang with some friends or eat with the family.Parking: Depending on the time of day can be a little challenging.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly in the dining room for sure. The bar area has high tops but I wouldn't say that space is kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Not the easiest to access for people with disabilities.“

“Always great service if you sit at bar. So many beers to try. Love the variety. Also Garlic noodles are the bomb when you are ready to go off your lo-carb. Really enjoy getting food and beer to go and then taking into movie. Edamame and tacos and a growler“

“First off I have to start this review by saying that their food is great. Been here more than enough times to know that their food and drink is consistent and never fails. My go-to is the classic burger and my wife loves the grilled chicken dish. Fries are top notch. Service is always great. My only issue is the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. Theres no sugar coating that. This is actually one of the main reasons I never became a regular. I hope they can go away from the classic pub bar bathroom vibe and tidy things up in there.“

“Great food, friendly staff. Most of the people who work there I have known for 20 years. They must be doing something right for me to keep coming back. Marc the bartender is one of the best. He remembers what you drink and has it ready for you before you even ask. Steave is another fantastic bartender quick witted and always with a smile on his face. The bar reminds me of the TV show. Cheers !“

“Have been dining at Roost for many years and the food has always been consistent and inventive. Chef Kevin never disappoints. The staff is very attentive and friendly having a good knowledge of the preparation on the dishes. The bar staff have a delicious bar menu that can be great mocktails as well. At times they bring a variety of entertainment to the upstairs venue. Classical, pop, Jazz and Latin music; there is enough room to salsa dance when the Latin music is available. Separate cover for entertainment shows.“

“To date, the three best meals I've ever eaten were at Gordon Ramsay's Steak in Las Vegas, Salt & Char in Saratoga, and the Saddle River Inn, in Saddle River, NJ. What made them the best were the quality of food, its preparation, and the service. I think I found number four. I'm not going to say 'order this' or 'order that.' We had five for dinner, all ordering different things and we were all blown away. The quality, the portion sizes, the pacing, the professionalism--all spot on. And all at what would likely be described as an otherwise non-descript corner restaurant in the next town over from me. One of Chef Adam Weiss' previous stops was as the original chef at Stone & Rail, in Glen Rock, NJ. It was and still is an upscale pub joint and the food was and is very good. Let's just say Adam was wasting his Culinary Institute talents there and he's allowing himself to shine here. Go. Eat.“

“I love everything about this place! The food is outstanding and the staff are amazing! Shout out to Christa, who is the soul of the place, and Cory, who goes above and beyond (crayons & paper for my little one). The cafe is a second home to me :-)“

“We had an amazing dinning experience at Otto’s. Not only was the food scrumptious, but the service team was also impeccable. They really went above and beyond to make our whole experience unforgettable. Our server William and his helper were attentive, accommodating and made our night of celebrations a special one. We will definitely be back!“

“This was our 3rd visit because the first 2 were so good. I ordered a mudslide but the waitress told me they couldn't make one because the bar doesn't have a blender. That's ok. I ordered a different drink. I ordered the falafel burger but instead I got the falafel appetizer. We order coffee and dessert. I ordered a nutty irishman. My husband orders a cappuccino. Dessert comes. Then the waitress brings the bill. So I ask her about the coffee. She says she thought I was ordering the same drink I had ordered previously. The mudslide? Why would I try to order something (again) that I already knew they couldn't provide? And why wouldn't they bring my husband his cappuccino despite the fact she didn't understand what I wanted?“

“I tried this place out many years ago and never returned. Don't remember disliking it but was never top of mind. Got tired of the local diner and finally decided to see what they had going on. So far we've been back twice in two weeks! Tried for breakfast and got the croissant sandwich with bacon. Very tasty but a little overpriced in my opinion but I get it--inflation, blah, blah, blah. Next time we checked them out for brunch and were very pleased. They have a very cute patio in the back so I will definitely return in the summer time. Also, $5 mimosas during brunch and they were perfect ratio. Highly recommend.“

“Dietary restrictions: I still like the beef but it was actually bison meat. I am on the whole 30 diet. It’s very strict and only allows quality meats, veggies and fruit and that’s it. I was reluctant to get any sort of “fast food”. But I did not find fast food at Bareburger. It’s obviously the highest quality meats and ingredients. I had a double bison burger filled with caramelized onions and avocado and wrapped in collard green wrap. The food was of very high-quality and it was delicious. The bison was lean but not dried out like a hockey puck it was moist and tasty. Overall it was a great choice than a great experience. Even though it was a pick up both the server and bartender that helped me were very helpful and pleasant. As my massage therapist is in town I will be back!“

“First time going, Food was above average for the price! Service was amazing, always checked in constantly and made sure I was good. Wish I can give more then 5 stars! I recommend the wagyu burger, it was sooooo gooood. Overall a very cute place if you're going out to eat with a loved one, or just a night out with friends. Definitely coming back!“

“My sister and I happened upon this place awhile back. Stopped in for a cocktail one Sunday afternoon and we're amazed. A lovely jazz singer was performing. She was incredible!!! We decided to come back for dinner this past Saturday night. I can't say enough about the Service. Our Waiter, Joe, was incredible. His knowledge about the place was fascinating....my brother in law, being a history buff, as well as my sister and I were so impressed. Joe suggested menu items to us and I have to say he was dead on.....my scallops were done to perfection...my brother in laws steak AMAZING...my sisters Crab Cake was delicious...then to our surprise..there was a Brazilian Jazz guitarist performing, who was so incredible we stayed for dessert and Cafe. Nice Crowd, wonderful Ambiance....we will certainly be back. Thanks Joe for making our night so special!!! Hope to see you again soon!!!“

“Went to the dance party on 2.23.2024 with DJ Eddie Wild Worm. The restaurant was full with everyone dancing to Eddie's music. The drinks were large and strong, the food fresh and perfectly cooked, and the service team was attentive and quick.“

“Amazing Irish food - and the prices are fabulous. Beer is always cold, vibes are always good. Best bar for a night in sweats or a night out with friends. Karaoke, trivia, bands, everything you could want. Bangers & Mash, Shepard's Pie, chicken Caesar wrap, fish & chips, burger, Cajun wrap, all “

“We have been here 4 times and have never experienced anything but great food, great service. It's small but but has its advantages such as attentive service, cozy atmosphere. Joe and Amid are incredible as they totally understand service is the game and they are superstars at it. It's a must try.“

“Ordered the gyro and fries and it was incredibly good. Excellent food portions, the wrap had plenty of meat and the way the onions were dressed was really nice. If I’m in the area again I would definitely order again.Dietary restrictions: Halal options“

“My brother and my nephew love going to this pool hall, however every time we go they stop it playing only rap and bad rabbit music, before there was all kinds of music where there was a good atmosphere, but lately the music leaves a lot to be desired . But in the end you want to go play pool and have a good time with your friends and that's what we do. They serve all kinds of drinks and snacks and sometimes there are also very good views. Despite everything, I recommend this place.“

“My family and I had such a wonderful experience tonight. We highly recommend the scallion pancakes, bao buns, shrimp tacos, burgers and buttermilk chicken sandwich. The cocktails and atmosphere were top notch. We look forward to returning to try their desserts.“

“Had a great dinner experience and our waiter, Chris (Christian) was excellent! Made the dinner experience a very enjoyable time. He was knowledgeable about the menu and even went to ask the chef about ingredients that were in our food! Everything was fabulous. Will come back again and again.“

“I was initially reluctant to try this place but my friend kept bragging about how good the food was so I finally caved and agreed to go try it. And my good friend was right the food and the staff were on point. The vibe felt like you eating at your favorite home kitchen. We did pick up but we ate half the order inside the restaurant because we ordered the steamed fish and it takes approximately 30 minutes or more to prepare and cook. We basically ordered one of everything on the menu. Give this a try and you’ll be happy that you did. $$“

“My husband and I have come to Dolphin for the past four years for Valentine's Day and each time has been an amazing experience. We love being able to eat on Valentine's Day and still get amazing food and service. The menu is different every year and we look forward to seeing what the options are each year. This tradition is one of our favorites and one we plan to continue.“

“This is an outstanding Italian restaurant with great food, generous portions, reasonable prices and outstanding service.For lunch there is a large menu where all dishes are one price ($16.95 when I was there in February 2024), but portions were dinner size. The restaurant is extremely friendly and accommodating, so substituting spinach for pasta at a slight extra charge was no problem.For dinner, the menu is as large as that in any diner. Truly amazing. And on a busy Sunday night we had no problem having our dishes customized just the way we like them.A special shout out to our servers Allan (for lunch) and Pedro (for dinner). Both were extremely professional and efficient.There is a large bar, and parking is very easy--the restaurant is located in a large shopping complex with tons of parking.This is a great place to have a meal with friends or celebrate a special occasion.“

“My boyfriend took me there for a Valentine's Day dinner and this is how it want ... The food : The food is absolutely phenomenal , ordered the clams and mussel's appetizer and it was simply Ama zing with marinara sauce , they also serve fresh warm bread with it , you can honestly eat 10pieces of bread .. For main course we had the crispy duck and that was served with black rice , one of the best ducks I ever had . Dessert was Creme Brûlée and it was very good , perfect consistency. Decor is welcoming and beautiful !! The bathroom is extremely clean . The hostess is not really that friendly and in all honesty I felt a little rushed , that is not really something I like to do specially if I'm on a date . The other down side it that BYOB , they should have a liquor license . Tables are extremely close together so you can basically hear the entire conversation going on next to you either you like it or not . I would also had preferred to sit by him and not across from him , that takes away from the romance. The food makes it worth going but they could work on some of the improvements I mentioned .“

“The person who helped us went above and beyond.My reciept says Edison, so shout out to you for making our day! Got a bowl, so delicious! And you have to try the pastry tart they make. Amazing!! ?? All the staff is friendly and helpful, btw.“

“Went back to Doghouse after a long hiatus and was pleasantly surprised that nothing changed except the live Jazz music on Thursday nights! Very cool! Food was the usual good greasy type except HUGE portions! My cheesesteak was large and tasty as well as my girl's grilled chicken sandwich... def get your moneys worth! Service was spotty but acceptable but then again it's a hometown pub, what do you expect? Stop in on Thursday nights for the live Jazz, saves a trip into the city!!“

“The manager and the staff were super accommodating to our party who came last minute without a reservation. The entire place was extremely nice, and the whole experience was super affordable as well. We stayed there as long as our party needed, and everyone was so kind and hospitable.Parking: There is a parking lot that is on the block around the corner however, you just have to search for it because they sure a lot with another facility“

“The staff were all so very kind. They came to wish my husband a happy birthday. Our waiter was patient and funny. Both of my kids were in a terrible mood until they ate their food which was amazing (skirt steak and Caesar salad with salmon), so that perked them up. My husband and I had scallops which were perfectly cooked and very tasty! Last, everyone ordered a yummy dessert and ate every last bite (puddin', pannacotta, and cheesecake - everything was tasty). Definitely love this place!“

“Jimmy and Bernice work the wee hours of the morning to make everything fresh every day. From the Friday corn beef hash for breakfast ( sells out early) to the best fresh burgers. Homemade soups. While I worked in the area I ate lunch there every day for about 40 years. Miss eating there they made you feel like family.“

“This restaurant is the one I like best. I visit plenty of restaurants but to this place I go the most. The stuff is very affectionate and the cuisine they serve is so good. I never miss an opportunity to have a good dinner in this restaurant. I recommend this place with pleasure.“

“Love love love this place. I loved on Kingsbridge when I was 12 and I'm now 39 and I STILL love this place! They used to be across the street. Its always as welcoming as a relative's home. ❤️ I've gotten breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They even accommodated me on how I wanted my salmon made (even though it wasn't typically made that way).“

“One of my favorite spots ever in any neighborhood. Food is just as good to take away as it was to have brought fresh to the table at the sister sit down restaurant which is no small feat. You can tell the chef and owner believe in the value of good ingredients and the time and care that goes into a good meal. Across the board the food and service is wonderful. A long-standing neighborhood gem with a huge heart.“
