25 Best American Restaurants near Howell

“Our server Diana tonight was fantastic. She was very personable, And brought our food out in a timely fashion. She came back to check on us many times. If I could give10 stars I would . When you find somebody that is good with customers they definitely need the recognition. We own our own private company and I would swoop her up in a heartbeat if I could for our family business. The gentleman that also brought us to our table was very outgoing and made small talk with us also. He was friendly and nice also. I didn’t get his name. He wore Gucci glasses that I commented on. 😊😊😊. My husband and I do reviews when someone goes over and beyond. Thank you for the pleasant experience.“

“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.“

“Today was my first tome ver coming in to Wavershak’s. The owner of as super friendly and the sweet. I got the corned beef sandwich special. It was fantastic! I’ll be back for sure.“

“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!“

“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. 💗💗“

“Writing a review for Red Robin restaurant:

The service at Red Robin usually depends on who is serving. I had excellent and unprofessional service. The food is always great and 90% of the time no wait.We like it so we keep going.

Here’s a polished, balanced version of your review:

I’ve had mixed experiences at Red Robin, and it really depends on who’s serving you. On some visits, the service has been excellent—attentive, friendly, and efficient. Other times, it has felt unprofessional and lacking in care.

That said, the food is consistently great, which keeps us coming back. Most of the time (about 90%), there’s little to no wait, which is a big plus.

Overall, while the service can be hit or miss, the quality of the food and convenience make it a place we continue to visit.“
