50 Best American Restaurants near Howell

“While we usually have a great experience here and usually go 1 a month lately, last night, the food really missed the mark. Burger was terrible. The lemon garlic chicken could have had more flavor, though it was anything but dry. We usually just get the steaks but opted for something else, clearly was a bad decision on our part. Drinks were great. Service was great.“

“My family and I have had the great pleasure of having dinner at 618 in Freehold NJ on several occasions. It has quickly become our favorite restaurant! Everything on their menu is wonderful and we’ve tried so many appetizers, main courses and cocktails at this point. It’s rare to find a cool, comfortable restaurant with so many great cocktails and incredible choices across all menu selections. And, if that is not enough, their staff is truly a dream team. The owners, manager, hostesses and servers ALL go way out of their way to make everyone feel like guests having a special dining experience in their happy home. Dining at 618 is a truly delightful experience—it’s quite simply food and service heaven! The owners and staff ALL really care and it shows. Their kindness and care to our 96 year old dad and us every time we dine there is so beautiful. It lights him and us up so much. To the owners, manager, hostesses and servers, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Dear Ava, Danielle, Chuck, Matt , Chris, Jacob, Leigh, and Christine, and all the staff of 618, each and every one of you are treasures. Thank you for making our dining experiences so special and uplifting.“

“Had lunch today at Houlihans. I haven't been here in a while, so I wanted to treat myself by eating at my favorite restaurant.
And my 3 favorite servers now work in the morning: Mackenzie, Brooke & Jenna.
I had the early bird dinner special: chicken parmesan with a salad and dessert for $17.99. it's a good deal because they chicken parmesan by itself is regularly $17.99.

My server Mackenzie was great: polite, attentive, and fast. As are all of the servers here.

It was sad seeing one of the hosts, Justin leaving. This is his last day. He's going back to college. He and hostess Paige are both great. No matter how busy they never lose their cool. That's important bec

The food always great.

Parking: Parking is free and always available, even on busy weekends.“

“Omg food was amazing ... jack was amazing....first time here and definitely will be back again.....“

“Amazing. We had our daughter’s sweet 16 last weekend at this venue and can not recommend this place enough! From the planning down to the nights end, the owner and his staff were incredibly attentive and bent over backwards to please! The food was excellent and plentiful, the venue was kept clean, the staff were on top of any soiled dishes and cups on the tables, and the outside area is gorgeous at night with the lights and waterfalls. There were small touches I wasn’t even aware of until the evening of our event. The mocktail bar for the kids had a menu where our daughter’s name was included in the names of all the drinks, flavors of the ice cream were more than the chocolate and vanilla other venues offer, the coffee was amazing, and the staff even helped clean our decorations at the end of the party. Everything I just mentioned and likely much more I’m forgetting at the moment all less expensive than most other venues we considered. Thank you again to Ravi and his staff for an incredible experience!“

“The food is delicious 😋 The delicious food, the atmosphere and polite waitresses.“

I have passed the good word and just had to share!!! Btw Leslie is an exceptional waitress!!! Can’t wait to go back. I also had a iced latte today. YUM“

“My husband and I LOVE River Rock's outdoor dining. We enjoy seeing the boats coming and going while we eat. The Manasquan River is a beautiful sight. Any food items that we have ordered are delicious. Lauren Guenther is one of our favorite servers. She's a sweetheart. She's very friendly, personable, and very focused on what she's doing. We know Lauren from when she served at Carrabba's. She was very special to us back then as she is now. Being local residents, we visit River Rock frequently during the summer and we will ALWAYS request either Lauren or Kelsey Conover because we simply adore them both. River Rock is our outdoor Happy Place during the summer. 💗💗“

“Tony, Karlo, Giovanni, and the rest of the staff including the kitchen staff are an absolute pleasure. They all go above and beyond to ensure everyone enjoys their meals and experience to the utmost extent. All of the food they prepare is of excellent quality and very consistent, I have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious homemade meals, fun atmosphere, friendly staff.“

“Great food and reasonable price!!!“

“Being a meat cutter by trade in the Air Force, having a hard time cutting a $45 med/rare filet is hard to swallow. The fact it was served already cut, apparently was the first clue to be prepared, this may take a minute. Flavor was better, but still needed to ask for s&p. Whipped potatoes amazing! French Onion soup as well. Rib appetizer out of this world! Don't buy the chicken nuggets although the presentation basket was a nostalgic touch. Macncheese side was incredible! Recommend the Wood-double Bourbon.“

“We stayed here so we could go to Six Flags. Really nice people and great customer service ! The front desk was very accommodating and helpful and the restaurant/ bar personnel were extremely sweet! Not many options to eat but what we had was actually fresh and surprisingly good for a small hotel. Free parking and laundry room were a big plus. Very quiet neighborhood and some weddings were happening while we stayed but I basically heard no noise from guests or was bothered by loud music. Really recommend!“

“Love this place! Always come here with my family! The waiters/waitresses (especially Patrick) are always very kind! I always get the Royal Red Robin! It is amazing. But the only problem is that the yolk is always kinda runny. But other than that, everything else is perfect!“

“Everything was delicious! Lovely Tiffany lamps and plenty of food options on the menu.👍“

“Delish. Food ! Great service ! Such a cute spot !“

“Really good chicken fingers.“

“I LOVE this Applebees, I go to this one specifically to be served by waitress Cat. The first time I’ve went to the Manchester Applebees her service was wonderful and she was such a delight, I am a pretty picky eater and make a lot of alterations to my meals and she understands and makes sure to write down everything without judgement. Absolutely fantastic waitress and environment. Food never came out wrong.“

“Roberto’s is a throwback to the “Glory Days” of the diner. I love sitting at the counter chatting with the servers and enjoying the expansive menu of traditional items and the endless seasonal specials. The food is excellent and the vibe is special.“

“My favorite restaurant in this area. Food is great as well as pricing, service and atmosphere. If you haven’t been there yet, give it a try. You will not be disappointed!“

“When I arrived I wasn't expecting much. I sat at the bar and was greeted promptly. I asked what was good and was told that if I like Sushi that is was really good! So I ordered some. It was fantastic!!

Good food, fast service and great atmosphere! I am definitely coming back!“

“Very accommodating great food and staff“

“staff or employees are nice friendly and knowledgeable. From the servers and food runners to the bartenders. Food is good and you get good portions. Pizza, wraps, burgers, wings, sandwiches pasta highly recommended.“

“I wasn’t sure what to expect here, but I guess I’d call it a not-quite-balabus level steakhouse.
I went with 4 other people and ordered a steak which was okay, tasty but nothing crazy. When your paying their prices, a satisfactory steak just doesn’t cut it.
The design? Meh. And this was before all the competition came around. Now you really gotta up your game.
Not impressed by the ambience.
The service was ok too.
Listen though, I walked out with a full stomach, and that, my friend, always deserves 4 stars.“

“Very friendly staff and deliciously crafted food. This is no diner. You will get a great small town feel meal that is creative and delicious.“

“the server was really good“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“This restaurant was delicious!!! Everything was wonderful from the waiters to the food that was amazing. The owner Ken went around to all tables and made us feel like family. thank You Saltimbocca I will absolutely be back.“

“I have to give a huge thank you to Brooklyn Bistro for the amazing job they did for my daughters graduation dinner last night. Everything was wonderful. The food was cooked perfectly, the service was absolutely amazing. Thank you Brooklyn Bistro <3“

“The other day my friends and I had the pleasure of eating at the Langhorn Steakhouse on Rt 70 in Lakewood. The meals were more than reasonably priced, and they were delicious. The staff was attentive, extremely friendly and courteous. Ty, the host, met us so amiably and showed us to our table. The server, Sharon B., was so attentive we never had to ask her for anything. Anything we needed she was right there to give it to us. We couldn't have asked for more.“

“Calgo Gardens is a magical place. Nature, beauty, peace, and tranquility. The gift shop is filled with unique and exciting gift ideas, The tulip tree Cafe offers delicious creative cuisine, the gardens and flowers and statuary are beautiful. The events are such fun! The people who own it and work there are friendly, knowledgeable and accepting. They give so much to their community. It is just a wonderful experience!“

“A tasteful experience, excellent service ~double thumbs up 👍👍“

“We had gone to Woodys for years and recently started visiting more frequently. Really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is good. The holiday decor is a whole vibe—the owners and staff really went all out to provide a warm, inviting experience for their customers. We are always greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. I always enjoy the time spent at Woodys, whether with friends or family. The seating options are many as the heated outdoor area is available all year long. Good food+great service+awesome ambiance=a fantastic experience.“

“I had the Cajun chicken sandwich and it was delicious. The bartender Jennifer turned me on to their French fries and just like she said they were also delicious. first time being there I will definitely go back if I find my way up there again great place good food cold beer nice people.“

“Decided to have breakfast at Stax on this holiday weekend. We had the Ben Maduro & a Crepe as our entrees. A little sweet & savory. The presentation & creativity on the two dishes were amazing. Our server was extremely helpful in making our breakfast selections as well. Overall, it was a 9.5. We need to go back to try the Tempura Roll breakfast. That looks amazing as well.“

“Dine in was great, was instantly able to get a table and asked for a booth which they gave me, table was clean and the server Jonathan was really nice and quick with refills

I also liked that longhorn has the scan to pay thing so you don’t have to wait for the check after you finish eating“

“We come every weekend for breakfast and occasionally will come for dinner ,love the 50’and 60s atmosphere, food is always great .“
