50 Best American Restaurants near Little Falls

“A big, delicious mess. That is what I expect when I order BBQ style items off a menu and that's what I received! I stopped by for lunch and ordered the BBQ Beef Brisket sandwich. It was much larger than I expected and I did my best to finish it but did not fully succeed. The meat was overflowing and the sauce got everywhere.

The sides were decent. I loved the slaw but the fries could have used a little salt.

I am in town for a few more days and will definitely be back to try the ribs and some happy hour specials.“

“Great breakfast variety and good service.“

“What a charming breakfast and lunch (and hey, even early dinner) spot! I had the Jackie Special on a multigrain roll, and a latte. Fantastic. It’s clean, it’s bright, it’s warm and stylish. It’s an elevated experience for when you want something a little better than a greasy spoon diner (not that there’s anything wrong with the latter!)“

“Sear House is impeccably clean, pastas and steaks are prepared well, bread served warm and housemade desserts delicious. The dinner pricepoint is a little high but comparable to similar menu restaurants in NJ. Sun-Thur prix fixe is your best bet but with limited selection. We appreciated the pristine airy ambiance, service and food at an earlier repast event with screens available to show photos and videos of remembrance. They were quite respectful of what was being said and shared and waited patiently to serve at appropriate times.“

“What a gem! Jersey Johnny’s in Little Falls is my new go-to for classic comfort food done right. Their hotdogs are legendary, especially the Jumbo All the Way—juicy, flavorful, and loaded with the good stuff. I also tried the breaded mushrooms and wow... crispy, golden perfection. 🍄 The variety of sides makes it easy to mix things up, and the prices are super reasonable too, which is always a win.

What really stood out was the service: friendly, welcoming, and fast. You can tell they care about the customer experience. 😊 Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a casual meal, the local vibe and laid-back atmosphere make it a spot you'll want to return to. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome atmosphere, delicious food, awesome service, love trivia night, highly recommended!!!“

“I give Chili's three stars for food because not a big Chili's fan, we go there for someone's birthday each year and there's no issues. Burger was blah. It's a change store restaurant so what you expect is what you got. Nothing bad.“

“The food was amazing, customer service is incredible. Prices were definitely reasonable and the quality was excellent. The place is clean , everything was made to order. Couldn’t ask for more ! The staff was great. The owner is pleasant and cheerful, great asset to the community.“

“Calos Restaurant never disappoints! My absolute favorite is the linguine garlic with chicken and broccoli (yes, a custom order and they always get it perfect 🙌). The calamari is hands down the best, and they even offer a gluten-free option! And let’s talk about the drinks… Omg amazing. The mango lemonade and mango tea are my go-to favorites. 🥭✨ The arugula salad is to die for, and if you’re looking for a weekend treat, their brunch menu is pretty great too! Fresh, flavorful, and always made with love. A must-visit spot in North Arlington!“

“Had a few hours to kill before my flight at EWR. Looked up restaurants near the airport, found this and I’m so glad I did. Friendly staff, delicious Beyond Burger wrap w sweet potato tots, and a deeeeelish freshly made strawberry lemonade. Highly recommend! I’m keeping this place in my fav saves. If I’m ever back in Newark NJ I’m def stopping back. That drink was so perfect for the hot day!“

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

“Crystal was an amazing server. Was efficient and engaging. I enjoy having servers like Crystal because they create a great dinning experience.“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“Been here 2xs, food, service and atmosphere are excellent. Seasonal cocktails. A stranger , i will call Joy, bought us a drink. Thank you!“

“I absolutely love coming to this location.
Tricia, Crystal, and Jackie are ALWAYS hospitable and respectful every time I dine in with Friendly’s!
Tricia and Chrystal always greet me with a HUGE SMILE and are always SO SWEET to me- BRAVO!

“Great spot for drinks and a drink 🥃 what a great time and place, we well be coming back“

“Seasonal dishes fresh and beautifully presented! Friendly and helpful team with excellent dish recommendations :)“

“Too bad I live out of state because this is my FAVORITE restaurant in NJ. Wonderful staff and food. Not as noisy as other places because of the decor/layout. The prices seem a little high but when you can't even finish your food - that's a good deal. The menu is phenomenal. If you can't find something to eat here then you are insane.“

“I won’t lie, I took my partner here as a surprise after he got into the car and I had the very Kitchen Nightmare episode this restaurant was featured in. You know, the episode with Bobby the gangsta executive chef who was making $100,000?

It was a great episode, but the owners looked like very good people. Even though it’s been a couple years, I discovered Bask46 was not only still open, but thriving.

We didn’t get to set at Gordon’s booth, but we were right next to it. The service and food were fantastic!

My partner got the tacos, which he loved (the portions look bigger than what Gordon has suggested). I had the 46 burger. The first half tasted bland, but it seems because all the flavor was just on the other side — and when I hit that, I loved it.

The potato skins appetizer was OK, but still we had a great experience.

It was a Sunday night so we didn’t expect to see the owners, but we still had a great time, and it looked like things were running smoothly.

Fun experience, and who knows, maybe we’ll trek back again. Bask46 is one of the rare Ramsay success stories, and it truly is a success.“

“we've eaten here four or five times now because the food is consistently good, prices reasonable and staff friendly and efficient.“

“The staff was friendly and knowledgeable“

“Everything was pretty much perfect except for that lobster malfadine. literally what was that? probably the worst thing I’ve ever tasted. Wow. Vanilla & Lobster? Maybe im missing something. Jesus Christ. I can’t even exaggerate how terrible it was. Apps were great and drinks were ok. Mind boggled by that pasta still“

“Food was fantastic! We went for lunch and had the fried calamari, shrimp scampi and penne alfredo. Staff was attentive and friendly and brought us fresh bread with dipping oil and fritters after we were seated. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend!“

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

“Dinner at Sage is always amazing. Owner Rob and waiter Darren will make your experience here a great one. Try the Tuscan ragu, Chicken Florentine.“

“This is the second time we’ve had Samar as our server, and he’s just wonderful! He’s so attentive, friendly, and always has a big smile on his face. We came in for the Triple Chocolate Meltdown (which is always a favorite!), but having Samar take care of us made it even better. The service here is always great. Our food comes out quickly, our orders are always right, and even the manager stopped by to check on us. This place really has that cozy, hometown restaurant vibe that makes you want to come back again and again!“

“Overall, a good restaurant and we would definitely come back. I started with a dirty martini — would not recommend. The olives were hard, and the drink had small ice chips in it, which made for a less-than-enjoyable experience. I ended up switching to red wine, which was delicious and much better. For appetizers, we had the octopus — very flavorful! While the octopus was a bit chewy, the taste was excellent. The oysters were outstanding — I honestly wanted more and more of them. For the main course, we both had the filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly and paired with chimichurri sauce — a perfect match. The mashed potatoes were some of the best we've ever had. On the other hand, skip the creamed spinach — it lacked flavor and was quite bland. We finished with the carrot cake. The portion is huge, and while it was okay, it wasn't anything special. Overall, it's a great spot. We'll definitely be back, just with a few different menu choices next time.“

“is becoming a favorite of mine.“

“Love the place. Just had a few beers but great and friendly staff“

“This place is so clean. You wouldn't expect it when you first walk in, but there's no dust balls or cobwebs or anything on the antiques on the walls. So impressive. The staff and owners are so polite and professional, I feel like I could do a full page review on them alone. Our waitress Lisa was a pure delight. A breath of fresh air. If you enter through the bar you get to have a "Goodfellas" moment as you pass through the kitchen to the dining room and get to greet the chef. Finally, the food. It was awesome. I had the steak cooked medium and it came cooked medium..."WHAT!!".... I KNOW, who does that anymore. Cooking a steak to the temp you want it. Innovative. Oh, yeah, my wife had some did too that she thought was delicious. Anyway, it's a cash only restaurant so stop at the ATM before you head there for dinner. Go soon, you won't regret it.“

“food and drinks were delicious and fun atmosphere“

“I came here with my family and loved it! The food is sooo good and the portions are great! I had to take it home! The owner is also so nice. Definitely coming back again. My mom who doesn’t like outside food at all lovesss the owners food! Definitely coming back!!✨✨✨“

“Amazing stuffed meatballs!“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“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.“

“New Terry’s Cozy Corner offers a delightful, homey dining experience that truly lives up to its name. The food is simple yet delicious, with standout breakfast options like their famous Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a roll, perfectly cooked omelets, and fluffy pancakes. The home fries are a crowd favorite, crispy and well-seasoned. If you're a fan of hearty, classic breakfast fare, this is the place to be. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, thanks to its family-owned operation, where the staff is known for being friendly and attentive. The diner serves fresh coffee that pairs wonderfully with any meal, making it a perfect spot for a cozy morning start. With affordable prices, generous portions, and consistently tasty food, it's no wonder locals come back regularly. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy a relaxed breakfast, New Terry’s Cozy Corner is a must-visit for anyone looking for a comforting and satisfying meal“

“Amazing experience every time! White Maple Cafe offers a perfect blend of cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and outstanding service. The menu has a variety of options, all made with fresh ingredients and presented beautifully. The coffee is top-notch, and the pastries are always a treat. The staff is friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Whether it’s for a quick coffee or a leisurely brunch, White Maple Cafe never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great cafe experience!“

“We have Alexander as our server and he was so pleasant and helpful. The food was served at a reasonable time and great pricing for what we ordered. The lava cake was 10/10. I noticed the restaurant itself is very clean which I truly appreciate. They were also decorated for the holidays which was nice to see!“

“I love this place. The owner and employees couldn't be nicer. The food is good and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.

Parking: Parking right next to the building.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped ♿️ parking in both the lot and the street. Handicapped entrance and the side of the building.“

“After the very first time I went here, I didn't stop going back. Very friendly, GREAT FOOD! Amazing atmosphere! Even if they're not doing Karaoke, if you and your friends or family would like to, they will hook it up for you to enjoy your time! Definitely ? a MUST TRY! Sincerely, “

“I eat their tasty hamburgers all the time. Friendly people. Very clean. Close to where I live. Very convenient location for me.“

“Amazing food, shakes, and people! I was in town for business and went both nights I was there - Rafael remembered I was going to come back the second night and went out of his way for me! And the Loaded Fries are unbelievably yummy!“

“Pamela was great when every time I visit I would love to get her she did an excellent job!! GREAT JOB PAMELA!!!!!!“

“I rented here for one year and I had no issues with my apartment. I felt the price was fair for the fact that it was furnished, with all utilities included, and had a gym that I used often over the year. It is also within walking distance (7-10 minutes) to Newark Penn Station. Parking was not included but I knew this before renting. I paid $250 per month to park in a lot right across the street.

This would be a 5-star review if not for the prolonged process for receiving my security deposit which dragged out over 30 days as others have mentioned. However, Maurice the current manager communicated extremely well and kept following up until it was ultimately returned to me in full.“

“I have never been an Applebees person but I went there with my granddaughter and found that the food menu is better than it used to be. I had the shrimp and sausage with penne pasta. SO GOOD…
The drinks are still a bit “weak” but they were good tasting. The service was good too considering that our waiter had a whole section to work by himself.
Overall, I enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. I will be returning again.“

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

“best place ever I enjoy there food I moved out of Paterson nj 4 years ago ever time I come to nj to visit my mom I stop there. great people great food“
