50 Best American Restaurants near Lyndhurst

“Very small and cozy place. I am new to Lynhurst. I order from there when we first moved. Very delicious and packed with flavor. I have tried other diners and this one is the best so far. Today I order delivery and my food was piping hot which goes a long way with me. Don't have any pictures because I ate it all so quickly. “

“Went for a school trip for the seniors. Was also my first time going to this place. I heard so many things about the experience so I was ready to see how it was. Was pouring rain outside. Building looked nice and the staff were mostly friendly. Manager I spoke to regarding a seat was awesome and patient. Atmosphere was comforting and fun. The show was much quicker than we all expected. Only real gripe I had was the food offering. Not sure if it had changed over the years from what others told me, but for the price of tickets, I would think a bit more should be offered.

If you like fantasy and just want a unique experience, give this place a try.“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“This restaurant is built on a philosophy I want to applaud. Vegetable-forward dishes. Farm to table freshness. Clear expressions of flavour in each dish. And it works. This is fine dining that also puts you at ease as a customer. Service is polite, prompt, but never overbearing. The dishes like being reintroduced to old friends. Familiar flavours that are so much more alive than you expect. Delightful.“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my reservation at Linden’s!

A small group of us were there to celebrate a friends birthday. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, the service was nothing short of amazing, and every dish we ordered was delicious!

I will be back again soon : )“

“Crown Shy, located near Wall Street in downtown Manhattan, is a remarkable Michelin-starred restaurant that seamlessly blends modern culinary innovation with subtle European and Asian influences. Each dish we sampled was a testament to the chef’s skill and dedication—crafted with genuine passion and executed to perfection.

The experience began with warm, inviting bread that set the tone for the evening. The oysters were a standout, fresh and brimming with oceanic flavor. For our mains, the Branzino and pork katsu were absolute highlights. Both were beautifully cooked, with rich, nuanced flavors in the proteins themselves and the accompanying sauces that elevated each bite.

To finish, a lovely ice cream dessert brought a perfect close to an extraordinary meal. Crown Shy offers a more accessible and relaxed take on Michelin-starred dining in New York City—truly an experience I highly recommend.“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“The food is phenomenal!! That’s it, that’s all!!“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Uma experiência fantástica, com ótima música! Fui do Brasil a Nova York para conhecer! Show!!“

“That’s really nice restaurant“

“I felt like the Bell of the Ball at this dramatically opulent, chandelier-laden rooftop sanctuary located on top of the 90,000 square foot high temple to high design, RH, in the Meatpacking District. With the most zen vibes, it served as the perfect backdrop for an intimate catch up with a friend over a light lunch and Champers (of course).

When we weren’t feasting on food and wine, we were feasting on the stunningly gorgeous design elements.

Great place to have as a respite from your day, break from shopping or as a stepping off point to evening activities in the MPD.“

“Food and service was excellent. Service was out of this world. Can't wait to go again“

“the next time I make love to my wife, I'll be thinking about the burger I ate here. phenomenal!“

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“Ich bin selber Köchin und kann nur positives sagen, dort gibt es beste Khachapuri die ich je gegessen habe, 💯 % empfehlenswert. Wenn man einmal dort was isst, wird niemals mehr wo anders gehen. Außer das Essen, die haben sehr gute Service, das Personal ist sehr nett und freundlich gewesen. Ganz viel Lob von mir“

“We came in last Thursday night for some pre dinner drinks while on vacation and we're so glad we found this spot! Our trip was drink/food focused and the bartenders here did not disappoint. My husband and our friend had a "Ramos Gin Fizz", (which was literally like the best cocktail I have ever tasted), I would have had one myself but I was already three deep into the Cucumber Mint Collins (which was also delicious)! There was a great live band playing and it was just what we needed after not being in the city for so long. Can't wait to come back!! Did I mention the bartenders were awesome? (It needed to be said twice).“

“I wanted to come to Chambers for a long time now and hopefully I did ! The restaurant is amazing. The staff was great. As for the food, it was marvelous. I took a main plus a side and a dessert, which was more than enough for one person. Everything was delicious. I recommend this place a 100% !“

“I typically avoid writing restaurant critiques, given my years of experience in the industry. However, my recent visit to Gramercy Tavern compelled me to share my thoughts due to the disappointing experience. I was excited to dine at the bar after waiting half an hour for a seat. I ordered my usual drink, appetizer, and main dish, knowing the restaurant’s reputation for excellence. However, things took a turn when I stepped away to use the restroom. During that brief moment, my belongings—two bags—were removed and given to the coat check staff without my knowledge. When I returned, I was unceremoniously escorted to the exit, which left me confused and uncomfortable. At the reception, I tried to express my concerns, but the staff was dismissive. I requested to speak with a manager, but the coat check attendant firmly stated there was nothing to discuss and closed the door in my face. This treatment was not only unprofessional but also disheartening, especially after spending $145 on my meal. It’s unfortunate that a great dining experience was overshadowed by poor service and a lack of accountability. I hope the management reviews this situation to prevent it from happening to others in the future.“

“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable. I am a true New Yorker and difficult to please - I am not a tourist - and this is definitely a 5 star must experience restaurant. Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!“

“Impeccable service. The hanger steak….❤️“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“Great vibe, outstanding food and excellent service. What a top NYC restaurant should be.“

“After all these years this old flame still has it.
Fun flirty staff crew, on top of their game.
Great French classics.
Foie gras, escargots, soupe L'oignone, Canard, Bone marrow, Steak frites, And of course, the dry aged prime beef Black Label Burger.
Good martini, great wine.
Perfect Soufflé.
Bon appétit !“

“Went to Orchard townhouse on a Monday with my bestie she got a glass of cab sauv and I got chamomile fields, which I loved. For appetizer we got the prosciutto & stracciatella, which was fantastic! Lastly, we split the burger and the kale Caesar. They were nothing to write home about but good nonetheless. I loved the vibe in this place it was cozy and intimate. I will say my only complaint is we felt a little rush towards the end and that surprised us since the place was no where near closing nor was it busy.“

“We are always pleasantly surprised by Parker + Quinn and today was no exception! I am a huge fan of their kale Caesar (add hangar steak!) and today it was perfectly made yet again. Amazing!“

“From our first steps to our departure, everything was AMAZING. This saturday evening was out last in NYC before returning to Montreal and The Smith Midtown made it PERFECT. The food was more than we could even expect. The seafood tower is quite an experience, treat yourself! Thank you to everyone at the front desk, including the managers, because they made us laughed a lot and were so nice to us. Big thanks to our server too. A must in NYC!“

“The Best that i ever been“

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“Chill local spot worth going to even if you're not a local. The burger.... the burger, oh, and the burger. Did I mention the burger? Anyway, we had a bunch of other menu items, and everything is really, really good. We eat out a lot, and Swoonys definitely deserves a spot way up the list of places we really like a lot. Already well on our way to becoming regulars.“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“Went for a family lunch. Sharing starters were big, 2 were easily big enough for 4 people, and tasty. We had meatballs for main course (obviously!) with pasta. All very delicious. You can choose between different types of meatballs, pasta and sauce to make your own combo. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended.“

“Had a great late breakfast complete with Mimosas and Alfie’s Amber Ale- all served by our awesome bartender Niamh from Ireland!!!“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“Really great oysters and cocktails! We had a great time...“

“This is such a beautiful restaurant with wonderful and attentive service. We had brunch and our server was thoughtful and prompt. We shared the baguette small bite which was delicious and had the chicken sandwich and buccatini. We will be back to try more of the menu!“

“Dear Maud is my go-to brunch spot in Hoboken! The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and cool, making it an ideal place to eat + chat with friends. Their drinks are solid, and the food is even better, with a great selection of dishes to choose from.“

“Another first rate noon Sunday brunch in early October. Dining room and outside were crowded which slowed down service a bit. Favorite dishes: thinly sliced sweet fresh fruit; caviar dip with marvelous very thin chips; generous portion of lox with six mini crunchy latkes; warm freshly baked soft salted chocolate chip cookies; caramel brûlée. Fine wine list including wines by the glass. RH Guest House is special.“

“We've been here many times, for dinner on week days and brunch on weekends. The cocktails are always solid, the food options never disappoint and the staff is excellent, warm and welcoming. This is why we keep coming back again and again. Totally recommended!“
