50 Best American Restaurants near Lacey

“We had Kate & Ally’s cater a party at our local community center for 100 people. Everything from securing the date, choosing the menu, the food, and the service was top notch! I am so happy we were able to provide such high quality and creative food, but also, to have had the opportunity to just enjoy the party while the Kate and Ally staff handled it all from set up to clean up! Huge thank yous to Dianne, Lindsay, Janet, and Rich for all their hard work to help make my event special!“

“Fast friendly service as well as Drinks being tasty. The food portion size was plenty for a nice amount of leftovers for lunch. So very delicious.“

“I go to the Forked River Diner often. The food is incredible. Every menu item I have ordered is excellent! The staff is very friendly and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend it!“

“The best service and food.“

“Came here for a quick, Sunday homestyle breakfast and was not disappointed at all. The atmosphere is unique, to say the least, but also gives a lot to start conversations amongst the table. Serving portions were superb and food was very tasty. I have seen other comments and reviews that were very negative and nasty, but everybody can have a bad day once in a while. They were complaining on the service and owner/waiter being rude and yelling. I've seen more positive ratings than negative ones. While not everybody has the same humor, people can definitely be some Debbie downers. All in all, we had a nice experience and enjoyed the food. Ihop who?? Lol will def be back!!!“

“We went to masons, pretty much right before they closed on a Saturday (1am), and Jeremiah treated us (and everyone else) like we were royalty. He was kind, responsive, entertaining, and pretty much made my bad night considerably better. It was the first time we had been to the bar and will definitely not be the last, for us or our friends. We are officially sold <3“

“Had an awesome brunch this morning. Food was delicious...Danielle was amazing.“

“We just picked up our first order,very good!👍👍👍“

“Walked in and sat at the bar, our bartender was a wonderful woman named Leen. We’ve been to a few Applebee’s but I have to say Leen was easily one of the most exceptional bartenders we’ve ever had at an Applebee’s or any other bar for that matter. Friendly, attentive, funny and just overall a great person to talk to. Our food came much faster than I or my girlfriend had expected (and it was outstanding). Everything we could’ve asked for, if I could give more stars I would! 11/10“

“We went there the other night and I have to say I was impressed with the place.There are plenty of tvs if you like to watch sports and a big open area with tables if you just want to dine.The bartender was friendly and so wwere the customers that were sitting at the bar.The food was really good and we can't wait to go back .I'm going to try the Italian hot dog and my girlfriend wants to try the pizza.You owe it to yourself to try this place out.“

“The Food is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and Sandy and all her Employees are ALL SUCH WONDERFUL PEOPLE. We ALWAYS leave with a Full Belly and Heart.“

“Don't know why an online order should have a convenience fee?“

“great food great service great ambiance ....I'll be back“

“The staff was fantastic. We loved the boat and the food was better than expected!

However I HIGHLY recommend hosting an “Adults Only” night. There were screaming, crying, jumping children, weaving in and out of the poor wait staffs legs all night. Parents simply not watching/caring about what their kids were doing, actually insane. It really ruined what was meant to be a romantic & relaxing evening for us.“

“I was in my way to my son's football game and have about an hour to kill. I looked around and found this place.
The place was crowded with people eating and the food looked delicious. Too bad I didn't have time to grab a bite to eat. Beer was cold and service was very friendly. Would recommend if you're near the town.“

“I would give them 3 out of 5 stars. since the day they opened, inconsistent with food and drinks. one day the sliders are medium, the next well done. one day your $16 martini is full, the next it's missing the top inch of the drink. one day the pizza is ok, the next time is soup. last time the service was just ok. tonight she was great.“

“This was a popular place, lots of people waiting but we were seated in a timely manner considering. The restaurant has a lot more tables than it appears from the outside. Everything was delicious, from the Caesar Salad to the entrees of Duck and Steak to Chocolate and Orange Cake. I don't live in a area but highly recommend this place, it would be worth the trip.“

“I was attending a wedding in Lakewood, NJ. There are surprisingly very few hotels nearby there that aren't on the shore. I had in the past stayed at a Ramada in Toms River, but I learned that it had been sold and turned into an office building. For some reason, Lakewood has very few hotels. I had stayed at one of the only other nearby hotels, a Hilton, but it is overpriced. I saw the Days Hotel, and it got good reviews. The bride's grandmother told me a friend had stayed there and had given a good report, so I booked a reservation. The Days Hotel Toms River was a pleasant surprise. It was the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in! No dirt, no signs of bugs. no stains in the bathtub! No cracked tiles or mismatched wallpaper. And I asked for maid service after the first night, and they gave it to me, complete with all fresh towels, bedding, and amenities, made the bed, vacuumed, and cleaned the coffee area, even not waiting until late in the afternoon, as some hotels do. And it looked like the hotel had just been redecorated. Not 1950s dreary with holes in the carpet and broken tiles in the bathroom. Very tasteful with light, simple colors: just the way I like it. The hotel was very quiet, no rowdy guests, and it was set back from the highway, so no road noise, as well. And a big parking lot in front (free) with no driving around and around for a space, even after I returned from the wedding late at night. And it is conveniently located to the main streets leading to Lakewood, which was important to me. Staff was nice, and there were two computers in the lobby with Internet + a printer for guests to use. It's a four-story hotel, and I had a room on the top floor, which I had requested. I had noticed before I left that the room rate (AAA - two double beds) since I made the reservation had gone down. I pointed that out when I checked in, and the agent behind the desk matched that rate. And there was always someone behind the desk, regardless of time of day. And they answered the phone!! There was a restaurant in the hotel that I didn't use, but they were very nice and gave me plastic silverware and disposable dishes so I could eat in my room the special-diet food I had brought. The room also had a large mini-fridge (that functioned well!) So overall I would say it was much better even than staying at the old Ramada. And better than the Hilton. at a much lower price. And 1, 000 times better than an old Best Western I stayed in once, which apparently is also kaput. Only complaint was that one of only two elevators was out of order, and it wasn't fixed the whole time I was there (3 days, 2 nights). But there usually wasn’t a wait for the other elevator.“

“Wow! Today was my first time eating Mahana Fresh! DELICIOUS! I created my own bowl, but I’m looking forward to trying more ! Honestly my new obsession !! Don’t hesitate just try it ! Healthy and delicious 🤤“

“We are at the Applebee's in Lacey , NJ, frequently. We often have Kaleysha as our waitress and she is wonderful. Always sweet, checks on us often to make sure we are good and is quick with bringing stuff out to us. The food and atmosphere is always great and we have noticed the prices have stayed pretty much the same.“

“An absolutely fantastic food experience at The Grove! The service was flawless, the management was attentive and professional, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Everything from start to finish was top-notch. Can’t wait to come back! 🌿🍽️“

“The atmosphere Is Beautiful and the food was amazing I got the special which was ribs with mac & cheese and they were so tender, and the mac & cheese was delicious our waiter was friendly (young man with curly hair) and it felt very homey in there on a rainy day drinks were very good too“

“My hubby and I had the best Italian Hot Dog at Dickey’s with a side of crispy onion rings and fried sweet plantains. Great service too! The place was immaculate and reminded us of a 50’s diner. I would highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I would recommend this location for its comfortable setting and location. The staff are attentive and the service is genuine. The management and owner operator are always welcoming and kind . The food is good as well so , visit the place and enjoy your time . Tuesday Night Bingo with Prices lol“

“Great food and no wait at the bar, Nicole was awesome,highly recommend Stone Fire Grille“

“We have gone here every weekend ever since we found out about this place! I wish they opened earlier than 11 am :( - Their coffee (specifically lattes) are out of this world. Before, LaVazza had my favorite lattes, but now CB does! Not only that, but $4-5 for an amazing good sized-coffee? I have probably had 15 by now and I have never had a bad one. I've tried most of their specialty candy bar lattes but the Jack Frost is my favorite - Service is outstanding. I've been served by multiple employees and so far they've all been extremely nice and helpful. Both dine-in and take-out. They are also very fast - Food is also extremely good, but, in my opinion a bit too expensive for what it is. However, the size is decent and it tastes very high quality. 15% lower price would be better. The chicken parm sandwich and caesar salad are my favorites and one of the best I've ever had (longhorn beats their caesar). Food has not disappointed so far - Environment is also nice. Clean area, clean bathrooms, and bonus that it's not always jam packed so it's quite peaceful Food I have tried and enjoyed: quesadilla, grilled chicken nachos, fries, caesar salad, classic pizzette, cheeseburger, sicily stuffed chicken wrap, chicken brushette wrap, chicken broccoli cheddar wrap, chicken cordon bleu wrap. Their chicken is also fantastic“

“Excellent place to dine. Food was very good. Restaurant was very cozy. Server, Lauranne, is terrific.“

“I got to say for sorrows is good real good quick delivery times they're honest if they say a certain time they're there but you got to be careful because when it shows up it is real hot real hot and really good food excellent“

“Holy grail of Subs.. I'm from Brooklyn and always on the hunt for the perfect sub, found it! Fresh meat and loads of it, great cheese to meat ratio. Delicious - and the ladies that work there are so nice! This is a nice and heavy sandwich :)“

“The breakfast is awesome there I raped that place at 5 because every time I come in there the waitress the owners and all the workers are greathey're always helpful pleasant Goodness for a better experience than Town & Country bakery I would never go anywhere else for breakfast that is at awesome place I could never cheat I tried other places couldn't get the same breakfast Town & Country diner is the best couldn't ask her a better breakfast lunch breakfast or dinner“

“My granddaughter & I were there for lunch today & we had Denise as our server (waitress), she was so nice & very patient - I give her 5 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🥰“

“good food, great bartenders“

“I had such a wonderful time! From the moment I walked in, everything felt warm and welcoming. The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better brunch experience.

But what truly made my visit unforgettable was Adan, our server. He was genuinely kind, attentive without being overwhelming, and had such a positive energy that made the whole meal even more enjoyable. He anticipated everything we needed, gave great menu recommendations, and made us feel truly cared for. You can tell he really takes pride in his work, such a rare and refreshing quality.

I left feeling happy, full, and already planning my next visit. If you ever come to this location, ask for Adan! He’s a gem!“

“Great food ,great people“

“I go there once every two weeks and their service and their professionalism with the outcome of the food is rewarding to say the least. There prices are always 4 to 5 dollars cheaper than anywhere else also.“

“There is no reason this restaurant should not be five star! We eat here all of the time, and the food is 100% perfect every time. Perfectly cooked fish, a huge variety of menu items, great cocktails, and live entertainment. Not to mention its waterfront. We absolutely love this Gem of a restaurant, and think you will too! Great for vegetarians and gluten free diners, too“

“We went today for opening day. We ordered burgers, chicken tenders and fries. We loved it all!! The chicken tenders were super juicy. My husband said the burger was great. The fries had a nice crunch. Everything was super good and can’t wait to go back!“

“We had lunch there (arrived before 1pm) sat with popcorn served while looking the menu the place was cool clean and the server was nice it took long to get our orders (we notice the server was alone) we ordered calamari and chicken wings for starter the food was hot and delicious served the salad and soup (my first time and my sisters second time) then i ordered the salsbury steak (it was salty) i like the gravy with onion/mushroom and mashed potato (my sister) seafood scampi (my nephew) cheesesteak and (my niece) sirloin steak.“
