50 Best American Restaurants near Lyndhurst

“Great Food, Great Service, Great Vibe!“

“Cool place but I recommend adjusting the equalizer it was difficult trying to listen to the show. Alot of the voices sounded muffled. The sword fights and horses, spear throwing , jausting all excellent. Bring your kids they will absolutely love it. My grand kids did!!!“

“Had the best breakfast this morning along with my husband and we love this place so I’ll recommend to our family and friends“

“This is our 2nd time there and the food is great i enjoyed eating there, great vibe staff awesome and the price hands up.“

“We love Colonial Diner and have been going there for years. They have the best food and best staff, along with an amazing atmosphere. My three year old asks to go there for practically every meal and we are always greeted like family when we walk through the door. This is the best diner I’ve ever been to. Run -don’t walk- and get ANYTHING from the menu; you won’t regret it!“

“I came here with my family and some friends before an Elton John concert and we had a fabulous time. My brother and I absolutely feasted on the delicious empanadas. I ordered the grilled skirt steak and it was delightful. The staff were friendly and attentive. My crew and I had a blast there and would highly recommend if you’re in the area.“

“Excellent Inside n Outside !!! FabulouS Food !!“

“Best choice I have made since I started using the Slice app. Good food, prompt delivery, huge selection and the people doing the deliveries are great. Have tried numerous menu items without any disappointment. Happy to support a great local business!“

“Honestly the design of the place is beautiful. It’s in the cut but when you walk in you wouldn’t imagine what you see. I got the bottomless mimosa special that comes with an entree which was good. The food I had was amazing. Our waitress was so attentive as well. I would come back here again for sure. I can only imagine what it’s like for dinner or lunch“

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

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“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 had a wonderful experience here celebrating someone’s birthday! The staff were very attentive and every dish was a hit.

We splurged for the 14 day aged duck and it was so worth it — it’s now my favorite duck I’ve had in NYC! I’d recommend coming with st least 4 people if you order it.

The pan con tomate and frog legs were surprise hits for me, and I loved the chai tres leches cake for dessert.“

“Blue Hill is a basement restaurant on Washington Place in the West Village that has been making a quiet, serious argument for farm-driven cooking since 2000. Dan Barber built both this and the more celebrated Blue Hill at Stone Barns around the idea that what a farm produces, including the things farmers can't sell and the parts of animals that restaurants typically skip, is the most interesting starting point for a kitchen. The room is intimate and warm with exposed brick and low ceilings and the kind of hush that comes naturally to a place below street level.

The menu changes constantly based on what's coming in from the farm that week, which means specific dishes are beside the point and the philosophy is the whole experience. The vegetable preparations here are consistently the most memorable thing on the table, roasted and sauced and composed in ways that make you rethink what a vegetable dish is supposed to accomplish. A roasted beet with something fermented and something creamy alongside was the kind of course that arrived looking simple and tasted like a lot of thinking had gone into it. The grain dishes are another area where the kitchen's sourcing shows most clearly, ancient varieties with textures and flavors that supermarket grains don't carry. The roasted chicken when it's on the menu is the comfort dish the room earns, properly golden and served with vegetables from the same farm. Desserts are restrained and seasonal and land cleanly after a meal that has been building toward them.“

“We decided to try someplace new because of restaurant week. My goodness, what a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious but I have to say the service is what made it especially outstanding. We had a wonderful waiter named John who really made the evening very special for us. We will definitely be back!“

“My family and I were so impressed with Minetta’s. We came for the food and history and left feeling like we just had one of the best nights in New York. Our waiter was spot-on excellent, quick, concerned, and at the ready for anything our group needed. Every dish was wonderful. I wish we could have stayed longer and had yet another course, but we split due to theater plans. This wasn’t our first trip to Minetta’s and won’t be our last.“

“One of those unforgettable New York meals. We came to celebrate just being married and couldn’t have been happier with the spot we chose. Our server Paul went above and beyond to celebrate us and boy did we leave feeling very celebrated and stuffed. Grateful for the amazing meal but mostly for the phenomenal service that make restaurants like this stand out as truly one of a kind.“

“Best pancakes on the eastern seaboard! Absolutely delicious maple butter! It’s the best breakfast anywhere in the world!!! 🥞🧇🥓🍁🧈🦋👐“

“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“

“Our server Raffy and the food were amazing… only issue was with the front desk. I had made a reservation via Open Table awhile ago for my birthday, specifically for the rooftop/outside seating , but was told that my reservation had been made for inside seating and that all the tables outside were booked. I then asked to speak to the manager because I wouldn’t have made an indoor reservation. Suspiciously they were able to get me a table outside.“

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

“After a cold and windy morning, not being able to get into one of the morning shows, we ran across this little restaurant by accident for brunch. They quickly welcomed us in with open arms and fresh hot coffee. It was one of the best brunches I've ever had, but what made it even more special was Joey the owner overheard our story, knowing we had a rough morning, and gifting us one of his comfort food cookbooks! The day couldn't have been any better. I can't wait to try one of his delicious Italian recipes this holiday season. I highly recommend the Little Owl. I certainly will be going back in the future!“

“What a treat to stumble upon Parker & Quinn! It was an intimate atmosphere and a perfect night for me and my 10-year-old daughter. The kids’ menu was so good (the pasta was homemade and so delicious that I had to enjoy a few bites!), and my margarita flatbread was incredible. Great service from our server and another gentleman (the manager?) who came over multiple times to check on us. I highly recommend you check this out if you’re looking for something away from the hustle and bustle and generic nature of Timed Square. Chef’s kiss!“

“Kitchen table/counter. Loved seeing the action. Super calm team.

Started with fluke. Fresh and vibrant.

Roasted half chicken. Tender and crisped skin. Unctuous stock/sauce. A bit too heavily salted (but I think that is a theme, watching the chef on the fire).

Really enjoyed the Wild Arc Farm Marquette. Earthy upstate red.“

“Really Nice Restaurant i Recommend The Odeon Restaurant 😊☺️“

“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.“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“Enjoyed a Fabulous dinner and Found the food Delicious and Authentic 💯 The staff was warm and attentive, also the atmosphere and Cleanliness were top notch. Well done, We'll be back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This was a fantastic experience! From the moment we stepped inside, the staff was courteous, engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a party of 3, and ordered 6 dishes. Each dish came out as it was made and each dish was absolutely delicious. A person in our party had a gluten allergy which was no problem and accommodated with ease. We come to NY every year and this will absolutely be a place we revisit again and again! Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike will appreciate the dishes and be amazed with the taste! Highly recommended!“

“Impeccable service. The hanger steak….❤️“

“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“A chic bar with elegant Gatsby themed vibes throughout.“

“The most incredible meal I have ever had. Thank you.“

“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!“

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“Finally able to visit and so happy I did. My drink, Dutch Revival, is my new favorite cocktail. The winter flatbread was delicious. Loved the vibe and hospitality.“

“nice service,,🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍💪💪🤳🤳🤳🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🤝“

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

“The Henry Coronado is a great spot for a casual meal. It can get pretty busy, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. We were seated right on time, which was a great start to the evening. The atmosphere is welcoming and lively without being too noisy, making it easy to enjoy a conversation. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. This was our second visit, and once again, the food did not disappoint. We've been here for both dinner and breakfast, and both meals were delicious. The menu offers a nice variety, the quality is consistent, and the prices are fair for the experience. Parking can be a bit challenging, but we were able to find a street parking spot without too much trouble. Overall, The Henry Coronado is a wonderful place for casual dining with great food, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We'll definitely be back and would happily recommend it to others.“

“Strongly recommended! Perfect meal. Every dish was perfect mixed of flavors; and portions. And the service added on the amazingness of this place. We are looking forward to next season’s menu.“

“Absolutely adore Swoony’s. The place is charming and welcoming and the service is fantastic. Hands down one of the best cheeseburgers in NYC and a must try for any burger lovers. It really is uncanny (and delicious) how much the burger tastes like a grown up version of McDonalds. I will go back for it. The whipped goat cheese and wedge salad are fantastic. Don’t sleep on the dirty martini and ask for their blue cheese olives in it.“

“One of the best Georgian chain of restaurants in NYC. Delicious food, Georgian wine, cozy atmosphere and very pleasant staff. Highly recommended 💗“

“Took my husband here for his bday and my god, the food was incredible!!! everything was delicious. mint and fennel salad, squid ink pappardelle, and horchata ice cream were the highlights. the staff are so friendly and warm. Definitely coming back :)“

“Such a lovely place with a really welcoming atmosphere. The staff were genuinely friendly and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. It’s the kind of service that makes you want to come back. The Ruben sandwich was absolutely delicious—fresh, full of flavour, and definitely one of the best I’ve had. Great food, great service, and a really enjoyable experience overall. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxed spot with excellent food.“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

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

“Food and drinks were amazing.“

“Holy cow! We just had the Restaurant Week Bento Box lunch from 232 Bleecker and it was just out of this world. Hands down the best meal we've had since the pandemic started. The way Chef Cupps teases the flavor out of vegetables and meats is just astounding. We are in heaven! We also ordered from 232 Bleecker on Christmas Eve, and the food was once again incredible. We are huge fans of Chef Cupps. She previously cooked at UnTitled at the Whitney which was our favorite restaurant in NYC. We are so glad that she and Nick and the rest of her beautiful staff are doing so well.“

“New York-35th Amazing staff! Mia C was on top of everything. She was thoughtful and fast. She was excited for my son who was turning 10. So much food and make sure you get a shake.“
