50 Best American Restaurants near Kenilworth

“Highly recommend! We had our wedding at Galloping Hill Golf Course in the summer of 2025. The day was everything we could have hoped for and everything went so smooth! We worked with Emily throughout the process and she was great to communicate with. Any questions were answered right away. We wanted a venue that had both inside and outdoor options and loved that it had a covered patio for use all night. Ellis was our day of coordinator and both of our bridal attendants made the day run so smooth. Our guests loved cocktail hour and dinner. There was a great amount of food we went with the seafood station, pasta, Brazilian, and Chinese. We also did the breakfast sandwiches to go for the end of the night! The golf course made great photo backgrounds as well. We had the best time and would do it all over again if we could!“

“Fantastic little spot with amazing food. It's a great foodie spot, and who doesn't love a tasty grilled cheese! Very plentiful with vegetarian options. It's a very small spot in a parking lot next to a park with trails and a small pond. Gentlemen, listen up. On a nIce day, this is a perfect spot to bring your partner for a date. You'll thank me later 😉

“We had dinner at Ruby Tuesday in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and were lucky enough to have Bella as our waitress. She told us right away that she was new and still in training, so my sister and I joked that we'd be extra nice to her—but honestly, she didn't need any extra help!

Bella was incredibly sweet, friendly, and attentive throughout our entire meal. She took our drink order promptly, answered all of our questions about the menu with confidence, and kept a close eye on our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Her warm personality and genuine care made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

We live in Maryland and Florida, so unfortunately we probably won't have the opportunity to dine here again. But we wanted to make sure Ruby Tuesday knows what an amazing asset Bella is to your restaurant. She has a wonderful attitude, excellent customer service skills, and a bright future ahead of her. Thank you, Bella, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“This was our third Easter going to the old Bermuda Inn and it gets better each year! The food is delicious and there is so much for the kids including the easter bunny and cookie decorating. The Easter bunny at the old Bermuda Inn is truly the best one we have seen and made it so special for our son.“

“New Providence Bar and Kitchen was the perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We came for lunch and immediately the staff made us feel very welcome. The menu, from the drinks to the entrees, put a fun spin on familiar dishes—just enough to be unique without deviating too much from traditional favorites. The calamari appetizer with chili peppers and capers was the best I’ve ever had— flavors were amazing. The Parmesan-crusted salmon was also tasty and my wife loved her meal too. A wonderful experience!“

“It was our first time dinning at Kona grill and we loved it. We were treated like valuable guests and our food was brought quick. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the flight margarita, it was amazing and perfect amount of alcohol. We loved it.“

“Listen!!!!!!! I’m one of the biggest critics when it comes to food, and I’m usually the first person to jump online and give a bad review when something isn’t right. HOWEVER… D&J Country Cooking is absolutely AMAZING. 💯 I was a little disappointed that they don’t offer dine-in, because I would’ve loved to enjoy my food hot at a table. Instead, I ended up eating it in my car. But let me tell you — it was still worth it. I ordered the fish, yams, and mac & cheese… and it was incredible. Everything was seasoned perfectly and tasted like real home cooking. When I walked in, I was welcomed by a very kind elderly woman who greeted me with eye contact, a warm attitude, and great recommendations. She was sweet, helpful, and really made me feel comfortable about trying the food. It was a true example of Southern hospitality. I’m giving this spot 9 stars. It would’ve been a full 10 if they had dine-in seating, because the food is so good it deserves to be enjoyed fresh at a table. Hopefully they consider adding a sit-down option in the future because it would really take the experience to another level. I’ll definitely be back. I’ve got to try the neckbones on Wednesday or Thursday next time. Great spot!!!!!“

“Everything is so delicious“

“Awesome. Been here three times. Everything I have had has been amazing!“

“Terrific and nostalgic fare. Got Turkey club for my meal with their delicious French fries. The sandwich was good enough to conquer my hunger and I only ate half. Took home the leftovers. My husband had the classic burger with French fries and it was huge and cooked to perfection. He said it was juicy and full of flavor with all the toppings. We both liked that the French fries came in a metal cup container because it kept the temperature longer which allowed us to eat them warm. I chose the green tea iced tea and thought it was perfectly not too sweet. Hubby got plain iced tea and it was unsweetened and terrific too. Prices are comparable to the area with tip just under $60.“

“Amazing stuffed meatballs!“

“Great fun on a Friday of course! But killer ribs on Thursday. Music on Wednesday is always a good time! 😄“

“Great lunch! Love the building!“

“I love this Applebees, fast service, The food is tremendous did not have a cocktail but next time so many healthy choices you can make and the management was fantastic. I think his name was Michael Mathews. What a wonderful gentleman, very helpful and polite.“

“If you love karaoke and a dive, so does the owner. This reminds me of a speakeasy. Come here for karaoke vibes, good Peruvian Chaufa, and a bar owner who knows the local area and history. You're welcome. This could be your first and last stop - there's plenty of parking. Enjoy.“

“Indigo is a great place to live, as it offers the convenience of furnished apartments along with worry-free, all-inclusive amenities. You can move in and settle in on the same day. The mobile app is a one-stop shop to access everything in the building—from the doors and deliveries to the gym—with an easy way to pay rent or open a service ticket.

What makes the stay awesome is the friendly property manager and on-site service staff. Maurice always has a smile on his face, even on the most demanding days. He treats everyone with warmth and respect, and his office door is always open to welcome you!“

“So today I update my review. The host is a handsome pleasant young man very helpful. Said he was from Jamaica. My server Lucy was friendly and enthusiastic. She waited patiently for our order. She suggested other meals and I took her advice. It was an over all good experience. I will come again.“

“The food is amazing with plenty of flavor. Thank you!“

“One of my favorite local spots to grab food or watch the game. Family and Dog friendly as well. They have an awesome beer selection, consistently good food, and a friendly staff that always makes you feel welcome. I always get the power salad with steak and it never disappoints. Definitely a place I keep coming back to and recommend“

“Jack's Surf & Turf in Montclair, NJ, is our absolute favorite spot! This hidden gem in Montclair is a must-visit. Over the years, we've celebrated countless Girls' night-out birthdays here, and it never disappoints. From the moment you arrive until the time you leave, every detail is perfect. Greg, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and attentive; he treats us like family. Keeps our wine glasses full, and ensures we feel valued while also attending to other valued guests. The vibe is truly inviting, fabulous, super amazing & memorable! The menu offers a wonderful, wide variety of fresh and expertly cooked seafood, seafood boils, grilled steaks, salads, soups, OMG lobster mac & cheese, burgers, tacos, and scrumptious desserts! Everything is delicious, and the prices are more than reasonable, outstanding value! Highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends. You can BYOB; however, their wine selection is impressive as well. Generous portions, secure parking, and impeccably clean restrooms. Servers are always friendly and accommodating, happily fulfilling special requests. Nice music and occasional live entertainment enhance the experience. The Millburn, NJ, location is equally fantastic! We always start with our favorite Arugula salad - generous portions. House salad, also incredible! We adore Garlic Old Bay Shrimp appetizers, fried calamari, crab cakes, BUTTERY lobster rolls, OMG!. For our entrées, we couldn't resist going all in! Seafood Linguine in Garlic Sauce, steamed clams, mussels, grilled salmon, and lobster tails with crabmeat stuffing (seasonal). If you don't see something on the menu that piques your interest, just ask your server if they can prepare it for you. What impresses me most is Greg's attention to detail, passion, and creativity in delivering exceptional, high-quality food, ensuring each guest feels welcome and appreciated. I promise you won’t be disappointed, spotlessly clean, superior food, and exceptionally friendly customer-centric service! We've been to Jack's many times, and we'll keep coming back! Carla Wright“
