31 Best American Restaurants near Manchester

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

“been coming here for over 10 years. staff is always attentive and amazing (steven & keith are servers i specifically remember but everyone is awesome too!!) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STOPPING HERE!!!
the tables are always spotless and everything is clean. dirty dishes don’t stay at the table long because someone comes by to take them, they’re just awesome like that.

food is always great, hot, and fresh. haven’t had a bad meal EXCEPT the chicken parmigiana dinner, the noodles were very bland and gross (in my opinion) but i’m not one to complain. the chicken was pretty good though. other than that all the food here is a hit, haven’t had to send back a meal ever!

i don’t know what the girls name is but she has dyed hair and busts her ass cleaning tables every time i see her. she works to the best of her ability and she’s quick and kind. all the workers are kind and help each other out. no attitudes. everyone is very professional, no one reeks of cigarettes or strong perfume which is a plus. everything was brought to the table quick even though there was a lot of people.

applebees is the best for fundraisers in the area too. as a kid i came here for a marching band event and had to serve pancakes. they’re always supporting schools or teams in some way

again i highly recommend it you’re in the area. applebees is a great place to go due to the fact they’re open for a whole chunk of the day. any occasion too.

i love my lakehurst/manchester applebees. you guys rock. thank you for doing what you do. thank you for showing up to work and pushing through the roughness“

“Finally tried this place out about a month ago. It’s now my go to place. Actually heading there tonight for dinner. Great food!“

“JB’s 57 diner and the staff are wonderful! I’ve been going there for years! The entire staff always support our military and veterans more than most places I’ve been too. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent Food!!! 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Will defiantly be going back!“

“Our second dinner cruise was so much better than our first experience! The tables were much more comfortably spaced out, there was plenty of room to move around, and the entire atmosphere was so much more enjoyable.

From start to finish, it was a truly memorable and delightful experience. The food was great, and the staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and accommodating. We really appreciated the improvements and had such a wonderful time this time around.

We will definitely be cruising with them again next year and are already looking forward to it! Highly recommend giving them a try!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Ellie's Speedway's All Star Bagel Shop & Charleston Coffee House is the best place in all of Central NJ. I've been a loyal customer for 2 years & not only do they make the greatest breakfast sandwiches we've ever had, but they have an amazing staff. Their sandwiches & cold brew beat any other shop around by far. They load you up on bacon & always have the freshest bagels you've ever tasted. The staff is the sweetest & will always remember you, and the atmosphere is always homey. Can't speak highly enough!“

“We went there for dinner for the first time tonight and sat outside. Loved the atmosphere of the evening. The service and food were great. We will be going back soon.“

“Great food! Decent prices. Love the atmosphere. 🌸 So nice to get a fast food meal that met all of my macros and not a ton of calories.“

“I wasn’t sure what to expect here, but I guess I’d call it a not-quite-balabus level steakhouse.
I went with 4 other people and ordered a steak which was okay, tasty but nothing crazy. When your paying their prices, a satisfactory steak just doesn’t cut it.
The design? Meh. And this was before all the competition came around. Now you really gotta up your game.
Not impressed by the ambience.
The service was ok too.
Listen though, I walked out with a full stomach, and that, my friend, always deserves 4 stars.“

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

“Best Patty melt in the State of New Jersey fresh juicy Lots of saute onions equality meat Grill tasty rye bread You won't get another better than poppies Patty melt My go to Place for quality food“

“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“

“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.“

Good food, fast service and great atmosphere! I am definitely coming back!“

“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.“

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“
