New American Restaurants near Kearny, NJ

“This place is so beautiful. I loved the food and service. I highly recommend it. This is my new favorite place in town.
Update, the restaurant has a new kitchen staff. My new favorite dish is the steak with Veggies, and the burger is special too. I love the house salad and the banana bread pudding for dessert.“

“We came with a friend from the wine industry who raved about Chambers - and she was right, what an amazing dinner and WINE SERVICE!!! Pascaline was so kind to us and gave us a lot of attention, I learned a lot and am still buzzed from the experience. I can't wait to go back!“

“Approachable fine dining exceeds all expectations. Every aspect of the experience is top-notch, from the impeccable service to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Paul at the bar is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and his cocktails are beautifully balanced. We had a delightful conversation about gin and mezcal, and his expertise was evident.

Our table had a lovely view of the well-appointed and choreographed kitchen, adding to the overall ambiance. The service was impeccable, and there was no need to rush. We were given ample time to enjoy the food and the highest level of service.

When we made our selections, our server, Noelle, described each menu item in beautiful detail. The scallops in blood orange and romaine with green goddess were a standout dish, followed by bucatini for me and monkfish for him. The sommelier, Allie, paired the perfect wine for each course, enhancing the dining experience.

The attention to detail and the overall experience for laid back fine dining were truly exceptional. It was an honor to be their guest, and I highly recommend their offerings to anyone seeking a truly memorable dining experience. Don’t skip dessert Thank you Silvia for attention to detail.“

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“The best Wiener Schnitzel outside Austria!!!!👍“

“Had dinner there for the second time on Saturday night! It was very memorable. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the eggplant with the Barata for an appetizer. It was so delicious and so tasty and my main course was the homemade linguine with lump crab and corn. We also got the meatball which was spectacular and then I got the cheesecake dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. I absolutely love love love this place. Can’t wait to go back and eat there again.“

“87 Sussex is more than just a restaurant; it’s a full-on culinary dimension. From the moment you walk through the door, you are transported into a beautifully designed space that sets the stage for an unforgettable experience.

As someone who has worked front-of-house for years, I was blown away by the service. Amanda greeted us with such warmth and was incredibly attentive to our reservation notes. My best friend and I were celebrating a belated birthday, and the specially printed 'Happy Birthday' menus were such a thoughtful, high-end touch.

The mixology here is world-class. The Inferno Jam cocktail was a masterpiece—a smoky, sweet, and tart multi-sensory experience that I’ve never seen executed better. That level of detail carried over into every dish. The Ox & Egg and the Escargot Wontons were incredible, featuring textures and flavors that literally evolve as you eat them. For the entree, our server suggested the Osso Buco, which featured some of the best Al Dente pasta I’ve ever had and perfectly tender meat. We finished with the Chocolate Turtle Cake, which was a roller coaster of moist cake, crunchy toasted walnuts, and sweet toffee.

A massive thank you to our server, Hazem. He was the rockstar of the evening—clearly very experienced, friendly, and never left us hanging. He made us feel so welcome for our first visit. If you have a special occasion coming up, do yourself a favor and dine here. It is truly in a league of its own.“

“I made a reservation here for a work dinner. The ambiance was super nice. Friendly, helpful service the whole time and amazing food. I think we got close to one of everything on the drink, appetizer and entree menus. My favorites were the rosemary margarita, shoestring fries, spicy sausage pizza, butternut squash ravioli, and the hangar steak. There was some kind of mint salad that was super good. I haven't ever tasted a salad like that before, so it was a cool experience. We did everything family style with a few people ordering pork chops or a cheeseburger for themselves. The total with all 8 of us getting multiple drinks and tons of apps + entrees shared between us plus tax and tip was $810, which is more than fair for how much we ate + drank and how good the food and service was. Will definitely come back or recommend to anyone looking for a location to host a work/birthday/celebratory dinner or date.“

“Second baptism brunch I've attended here. The staff and food the last time were incredible but the staff this time were above and beyond incredible!! The food was very good and the place was extremely clean! Only issue I had was they put salad on top of each meal after serving a salad to start the meal. Didn't make much sense to me. But I still highly recommend this place!!! Too bad I could only give 5 stars to the service as it deserves 10!!!“

“I walked into this small cafe without even thinking they had such a great variety of food… I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!! The pizza is fantastic, thin airy crispy crust … so delicious!!!

I ordered the drunken parm sandwich and it was made fresh, the breaded chicken was made right then not cold and frozen like other places.. they put the perfect amount of cheese and sauce .. it was crispy and not messy. The hero bread was delicious too! I cannot rave enough about this place!

It’s also very clean!“

“Chef Waxman and his exceptional team gave my wife a birthday experience she will never forget.

The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Went at two different times.
First visit was amazing. We ordered the calamari to share and came out flavorful and crispy! I had the whisky glaze salmon and it was very tender and the glaze had the right amount of sweetness. The mashed was flavorful. The asparagus was ok.. a bit dry and tough but I ate it anyway haha. For the drink, I had the Dragonfruit margarita and it was very good as well. Right amount of booziness but not overwhelmingly so. The drink was also pretty. The service was also very fast and our server was very attentive and kind.

The second visit, we came on a Saturday and it was VERY busy. We waited an hour for a table and some of our apps were forgotten but the service was still pretty decent and they ended up comping some of our apps without being asked to. I still enjoyed my food. The music was amazing as well.. they played lots of Caribbean hits 😂🩷“

“Had a wonderful time here for my birthday yesterday! Service and food were excellent, especially this tuna tar-tare Roxy-style with whipped avocado and caviar. The management also went out of their way to make my night, which I really appreciate. The Roxy continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in town!“

“buena atencion y rica comida mexicana“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“One of the best places I’ve visited for breakfast. The food is light and airy, and the bread is fresh from a local bakery. The Eggs Benedict was delicious, and the beet salad was flavorful and vibrant. Everything was seasoned perfectly. It’s a great mom-and-pop–run business, and I’ll definitely visit again the next time I’m in the city. ☀️🍳🥖“

“Amazing place! Owner, food and service wow!!!“

“This was my first time at this spot and I was left thoroughly impressed. They have everything you could want. Pool hall, dance games, great food, a photo booth and more. The happy hour is priced well and food quality is great. I can’t wait to pull up again :)“

“The food was excellent. (Grilled sausage skillet and skillet pancake) The coffee was ok but I'm more of an espresso drinker so all the regular coffee seems a little weak. The waitresses were very nice and we didn't have a long wait despite getting there at the busy time (11ish am)

Edited to add - reheated the grilled sausage skillet leftovers about 6 hours later and they were still delish. Chef's kiss“

“The food and service is excellent. It is always an enjoyable evening.“

“Karol is an awesome server! She checked in on us at the right times. She is friendly and patient and didn’t forget anything. We hope she is there the next time we come. Chef Courtney did amazing on the wings. Thanks for the Birthday wishes for my daughter. Great atmosphere even for family with young children. The two hosts were very friendly as well. Next I come I will check out the bar. 😊Thank you kindly for a great first visit. 😊“
