50 Best American Restaurants near Lincroft

“Words aren’t enough to describe this remarkable and outstanding restaurant. From the service to the food everything was just perfect. One small suggestion, please expand the kids menu. I was with my family and my eight and eleven years old children. Aside from that everything was just beautiful.“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“Soul Kitchen is amazing! Our students love working with the great staff and always feel welcome and learn great skills and life lessons. The student favorite part of the soul Kitchen experience is of course the delicious food made by Chef Emily and her staff. The Matawan Regional staff and students want to thank Bon Jovi and all his supporters for a great experience and relationship!“

“I just had the BEST beef gyro! Beef was so tender and tasty and the tzatziki sauce was delicious! I will be back again!“

“I came in for The Big Meal Deal the other night. I was seated in no time at all with a great view of the big screen TV. Minutes later a young lady named Maddy came over and introduced herself and asked if I would like to order a beverage. I ordered my beverage and my meal at the same time . Maddy then inquired if I would be interested in an appetizer. I do like buffalo wings so I ordered them as a starter. My beverage was delivered to my table very quickly by Maddy. She returned with the buffalo wings at almost an unbelievable short wait, I was offered ranch and bleu cheese for dipping and wet naps and napkins for my hands. To my surprise my bacon cheese burger came out exactly as ordered medium rare. (Nice Tender And Juicy) I expect to return to the Middletown Applebee`s in the very near future. I will be asking to be seated in Maddy`s section and I suggest you do the same. Maddy is very professional and treats you with a fun, friendly, attentive and respectful personality !!!“

“Such a lovely, welcoming dining experience. The food is amazing, as is the chef. His specials were made with love and some of the best meals we have ever had. Could not give a higher recommendation.“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“Very nice place!! Great staff and good food!!“

“I’m an out of town truck driver delivering up the street and decided to walk down to Sunset Diner. I was absolutely please. Fresh food and lots of it and reasonable prices. Definitely would come back if I get back through this way.“

“My family and I got the chx caesar wrap, wake up burger, teriyaki Cauliflower, plantains, mozzarella sticks, chx fingers, cheesesteak, Mac and cheese and fries with cheese and ranch last night. I woke up thinking about it this morning. We literally LOVED every single thing and can't wait to go back!! I saw all the amazing reviews online and had to give it a try. So glad we did! We are lucky enough to live right up the block. Woohoo!!“

“fune dining at its best! friendly staff. we just love it“

“Elli’s backyard is a fabulous brunch and dinner spot with EXCELLENT service. We fell in love with the food and atmosphere of the place on New Year’s Day. We had an excellent brunch there and asked if they hosted bigger parties. This weekend we celebrated my 30th birthday there and they couldn’t be more accommodating. We had 25 people and they moved the tables so that we were all sitting together. They also added special touches like a champagne cart (it’s BYOB so we brought our own champagne but they decorated the cart nicely for us and put out pitches of orange juice), chalkboard birthday signs on the table, and bringing our complimentary dessert with a fun firecracker when it was time to sing. They allowed us to bring in additional decorations and cupcakes for dessert. They had 3-4 servers waiting on us who couldn’t have been sweeter. The owner, Patrick, checked in with us throughout our brunch to make sure everything was perfect. The service was above and beyond! And the FOOD! The food was SO delicious! Everyone was SO happy with what they ordered! Delicious menu items that are large portions and creatively plated. They allowed us to take our time and catch up with everyone at our party and did not rush us out. We couldn’t recommend Elli’s backyard more! We thank Patrick and his workers so much for making my birthday extra special! We highly recommend to everyone and can’t wait to come back!“

“Delicious meal from start to finish! Don’t skip dessert ?“

“1st time ordering from here. We tried the Cobb Salad to go. Owner ran out of Blue Cheese but asked if we wanted an alternate cheese. Was still delicious! Very fresh and tasty! Portion size was good. Owner was also very friendly. Even though Keansburg is desolate due to the season, this restaurant is still open and it's worth the trip to either eat in or order out from here. I recommend giving them a try if you haven't already.“

“Awesome food! My Maui Sliders were the BEST! Tater Tots with Cheese were so good as well!“

“Me and my sister-in-law‘s tried this place after a spa day. What a great choice the atmosphere was great. I love the decor. Our server was super friendly and suggestive. They had so many good choices for lunch. We tried the turkey cranberry melt and chicken salad wrap. We also tried the fried goat cheese balls so delicious. I tried the soup which I wish was a little heartier but was good. we really enjoyed our meal. I definitely recommend giving this place a try.“

“If I tell you how wonderful the place, the people, the plates are will you promise not to go? It’s hard enough snagging a reservation without hoards of people trying to book a table after reading justifiably rave reviews. OK, here goes. Agnolotti pasta and sweet potato hush puppies as appetizers to start and oh, what a start it was. Monk fish and a bacon-jam encrusted pork chop, both cooked to perfection, as entrees. Lemon tart and a you-gotta-try-it-once-in-your-life “budino,” for dessert. (Do you know stressed spelled backwards is desserts?) What’s a budino you ask? Adult pudding, whipped by angels, so addictive it must have been created by Satan. Farm to Table, fresh, sustainable, local, tucked away on a side street in Red Bank… and you get to bring your own favorite wine. Don’t go. Don’t tell your friends. Let this gem be all mine.“

“Service was absolutely horrible. Had to walk out of diner. Waitress wouldn't bring menus or coffee to us even after asking 3 times. There 22 min with no service. Waitress said they only do one customer at a time. Terrible place don't go there“

“Great food, drinks and great service. great atmosphere.“

“Stayed overnight for a one day work trip. After a 51/2 hour drive the last thing I wanted to do was drive anywhere for dinner ( didn’t want food in take out containers either) sat at the bar, had a Caesar salad and pasta primavera, added salmon.
The salmon was perfectly cooked as ordered ( medium rare) and it was excellent! A bit pricey, but excellent food and service!“

“Went there with a party of 11. Everyone ordered something different and everyone's meal was excellent. And, the staff was extremely friendly and made everyone feel welcome. Wonderful experience.“

“Went to the Mothers Day Brunch OMG what a delicious brunch !!!“

“We stopped going because the portions where less but the price was increased so we gave it another chance n they definitely improved the portions were wonderful that was equal to the price n i had the goat n it was delicious n my husband had the breakfast combo n he was very happy with the pancake sizes n the delicious eggs“

“I went to the Robinson Ale House on June 29, 2024. Service was excellent. The waitress was wonderful. My husband and I had lunch. I had a T-bone steak special , he had meatloaf. They were excellent. We had key lime pie for dessert. Really good too. We were seated outside on the side because we needed shade. Planning another trip in August. I can’t wait to try the Drunken Clams this time if it’s still on their menu. I hope I get the same waitress. If they still have the T-bone on their daily special I recommend you get that. I had mine medium rare. Quite pricey but well worth it. The rest of the menu is moderately priced. Good generous sized portions. Definitely recommend. 5 stars“

“Coolest place ever - def check it out.“

“This place is top notch all around. The food is outstanding. The owners and management have it together and clearly know what they're doing. Customer service is very important and it's great here. This place cares about its customers. My husband and I will continue to dine here many times over the years. God bless. 5 stars“
