50 Best American Restaurants near Mercerville

“My daughters and I went there because we were having a rough day and wanted to just get out of the house and what a great experience we had .Our waiter Reise was super funny, had such great positive energy that transmitted to us. Our food came out fast and tasted great ! We left out of there smiling and happy with the food and service. As a business owner myself I understand the importance of having great customer service , giving the customer something beyond a service is anlso anbout the experience they receive and Reise def had that down ! My 12 year old said wow mom he is the best waiter we ever had and we eat out a lot and have had some pretty bad services before.. We never know what someone is going through so is important to always show kindness.. thank you Reise for going beyond your job and showing my girls and I kindness and positive energy and even words of encouragement..Keep being a light the right people will value that we sure did 🫶🏼“

“I've been curious for years about the trenton style pizza with a mustard base under the cheese and sauce so finding myself in Trenton on business I stopped in for lunch and lo and behold it was on the menu and to make it even more Trenton they put chunks of pork roll on it. ( I'm from north Jersey so to me it's Taylor ham ). The pizza was incredible the mustard really gave it a surprising zing. Also the beer mussels were amazing. Great place for lunch.“

“What a great local restaurant in Lawrenceville NJ. Service, atmosphere and especially the food were outstanding. The scallops risotto and Griggstown Brick Chicken were absolutely delicious. You won’t go wrong giving Acacia a try.“

“Had the 4course thanksgiving dinner here today. Great menu choices at a fair price. The food was delicious, the portions were generous. The service was outstanding , the staff was friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“The B2 Burger and Rib Eye Steak were amazing. Will definitely be back!“

“First time going there and I loved it. Only thing was Canadian bacon was a little overcooked. Place was clean and cozy. Reminds me of a truck stop which I suggested to a nearby customer. Alana was amazing and patient. Love the prices and the hospitality. I also like the slot machines even though I lost ?. The French toast was filling and plentiful. I will definitely will return. Jersey future customer here .?“

“Cosmos is such a gem! The atmosphere is amazing – fun, welcoming, and full of great vibes. The service is top-notch; the staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. The food is absolutely fabulous – flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re stopping in for a meal, drinks, or just the overall experience, Cosmos never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“I truly enjoyed the food.“

“I would highly recommend Winberie's! my husband and I went for the first time today to have some lunch. The Executive Chef, Steve Fitch, was so awesome! My husband has a laundry list of food allergies and Steve came out to offer alterations he could make to the menu items to accommodate us. Everyone there was so friendly and the cocktail and food we had was all fresh and delicious. I could have the parmesan tomato soup everyday for the rest of my life and be happy, it was the best I have ever had. Thank you for a great lunch experience, we will definitely be back!“

“We visited for dinner on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend so it was busy (as was all of Princeton). However, the grin of house service was great … friendly and efficient and although lots of people jostling near the door we were pleasantly greeted and shown to our table. \nOur waitress was lovely and looked after us very well (Helen I think). The food was delicious and a nicely diverse menu. \nNice selection of wines (quite expensive). \nDefinitely worth a visit. Best to book.\nOh, and it can get quite loud so if you want a slightly quieter surrounding, downstairs might be better.“

“This Applebee place is awesome and is one of the best restaurants around here in Princeton Junction in terms of food quality, pricing and services. I have been coming here since last 8-10 years and must admit that quality of food and services has been improving with time. Thanks to Shannon and every other staff/servers here!!!“

“All the food I order is delish, try it you'll like it, for sure.“

“Ended up stopping in after the original place I wanted to try was closed. Chicken was moist on the inside and crispy on the outside ladies behind the counter were exceptionally polite I would recommend this place for a quick grab a chicken this is not a place that you want you can sit down and eat in“

“The gold standard in customer service, food is excellent, bottom line get here“

“Seasons52 Princeton food is delicious and varied as its name implies. Service is excellent as is its atmosphere.Managers, hostest,servers and staff are hands on, knowledgable,friendly and accommodating.Highly recommended.“

“Outstanding. a real fantastic place in Princeton, NJ city centre. Refined, nice people, fantastic food, outstanding wine list, umbeatable cocktails. simply perfect“

“Was checking my out for a possible birthday party location and found the manager and staff to be very helpful and accommodating. The space is ample and the golf course looked great. I'd gone over earlier in the day and arrived as a post-golf tournament banquet was getting underway. If the smell of the food being served was a good indicator. It must be delicious. Will be returning this week to test/taste that theory out!“

“Had a turkey club sandwich with chips. Enjoyed the food at a reasonable price in vibrant ambience. Will certainly return.“

“Josh the waiter was outstanding. He was very attentive, we had a party of 20 people and he was able to handle everything alone. He made sure everything was on point. Great service!!!!“

“Greatest food. Nicest servers!!!“

“When it arrived, the quesadilla was golden brown and crisply seared, with a perfect balance between a crunchy outer shell and a slightly chewy texture. The tortilla had that inviting, buttery aroma that hinted at a satisfying bite. It was cut into even triangular sections, with gooey cheese stretching between them, making it visually appetizing. On the side, T-Dubs includes the best salsa.“

“As you can see from the photo everything was GREAT. (Couldn’t finish the burger cause we over ate, but definitely took that home.) we order the honey soy wings to start they were impeccably crispy and tasted amazing. Our main dishes were the Korean burger with sweet potato fries & the gochujang pasta. Wasn’t sure what to really expect from them but I’m glad I took the risk because it was probably the best meal I had all week haha. Our friend order some type of beef short rib dish on bed of mashed potatoes I believe that I tried and it was very decadent and if that’s your thing then you won’t be disappointed. To finish we ordered some boba teas to go and that was the perfect cherry on top to our meal. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. It was really refreshing to find a restaurant that was so consistent from the waiting staff to the final product. Thanks for giving us a lovely night. (Side note: It’s BYOB)“

“Nubia (manager) and her staff are lovely and the flavors/variety are impressive! It’s great to have a place like this on campus - a nice mix of faculty/staff and students use this for lunch. It’s a mix of buffet style with a formal dining room experience (wait staff for drinks and busking the tables). Nubia really makes you feel at home! Go check it out. All for about $10!“

“Delicious food and great service“

“Celebrating 3 birthdays at Roots Ocean Prime with 8 people. Everyone loved their entrees (steaks ) which were cooked perfectly. Sides were tasty and enjoyed by everyone. Great wine list. Appreciated the wine recommendation by our server. Our server, Rachel, was excellent. The birthday desserts were the hit of the dinner! Thank you Roots Ocean Prime for making the birthday celebration extra special!“

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.“

“I had a great experience at Iron & Ivy! I loveeeee going to hotel restaurants! I feel like I'm on a sense of vacation even though I'm not staying over! When you walk into Iron & Ivy, you're greeted by a beautiful fireplace and bright, stocked bar! The hostess was so sweet and recommended amazing menu options! We started off with the quesadillas and the bourbon bbq wings! When I tell you, the quesadillas were top 5 all time, they are TOP 5! They didn't fall apart and were toasted to perfection as well as loaded with shrimp and cheese and beans and corn! It was PHENOMENAL! For dinner we ordered the Grilled Flat Iron Steak and the Spinach & Roasted Garlic Tortellini! The veggies were so delicious and it was a huge portion that I was able to bring home for lunch the next day! For drinks, you couldn't go wrong with the dirty martini, the very berry martini and the Soccer Mom Lemonade! It was a great night overall and they have a huge inside / outside dining area! Highly recommend checking out Iron & Ivy and make sure you order the quesadillas because they are LIFE CHANGING!“

“My wife and I started to go here just a couple of months ago. This place has been here forever. I believe it was Del Rio back in the day which my wife said her dad use to take her there to eat. The usual restaurant that we always went to for over the last twenty plus years closed down. We decided to stop in to First N' Ten to get a beer and try some food. Well glad we did. We have been going at least once a week and trying different things. I can honestly say I have not had one thing that I did not like. We have tried some different types of wings as it seems that is one of the items they are known for. A couple weeks ago we tried the mango habanero wings and wow they are banging! The staff is great they already see us come in and know what we want to drink and know we want the mango habanero wings and put in the order. We will keep going and trying different items. I would recommend this place, really great food and service.“

“A hidden jewel. This 50's themed diner is always immaculate. Staff is well trained and really friendly for this family owned business. We, until recently, worked our business from home so Chris's is our home from home. Always accommodating, food is excellent, prices fair. My happy place❤“

“The food here is always great, as is the service. Owned and operated by someone who cares about their business. Always a pleasure coming here, and I look forward to coming back soon. My family has ordered from this restaurant for years, and it felt good to come back to the same quality as it was when I last came“

“Meatheadz has the absolute best cheesesteak anywhere!! The service is fast and friendly and I've never been disappointed by this amazing establishment!“

“So glad we stopped in! Woodys was exactly what we needed after a long day of driving. Walked in and felt like home. Our server Chelsea was such a puddin’ start to finish. The hot turkey sandwich and waffle sundae put me into a perfect food coma. Best stop on our trip. Much luck to you!“

“Group of 6 met for lunch. Almost drove by. Could use a better sign. Comfortable small sports bar atmosphere. Very good service and the servings of food were large. You will not leave hungry and will most likely bring some home. First time there and we will definitely return.“

“our server Gianna was the best server I’ve ever had. she should get a raise because she’s super nice and funny. she made the experience really good and we want to come again“

“This was our first visit to the Brookwood Café. It is absolutely amazing. We spoke to one of the owners and she was so kind enough to let us sample the soup. Food is excellent! So happy we found this little gem.“

“First time there with my sister and my wife... I will DEFINITELY return to sample something else on the menu... The mussels and linguini in white sauce was PERFECT!!“

“This was the first time we have been here. The food was great and the staff was so nice. I highly recommend“

“Fantastic Nassau burger … great atmosphere.“

“Kind attentive waitress. Delicious food.Quick service. 😋😊“

“I absolutely love ordering from this restaurant. This is the only place that I will order my pizza from since I moved to the area. Anything that I have ever ordered from here has been absolutely delicious!“

“I think this place is pretty decent overall. It's a solid spot for decently priced bagels, flavors pretty good but I wouldn't say it's the best. If you live nearby or in the area it's a solid choice and I don't think you'll be disappointed but it's nothing to write home about. I did try the loaded pork roll burger since it was made famous by Guy Fieri, and I appreciate him putting local spots like this on the map but its pretty overrated and not that great. Burger itself is pretty mid but the pork roll and bagel is good, I'd say pork roll burger is a 6/10, and the bagels are 8/10. The Reuben is surprisingly pretty good though.“

“We got seated quickly, our waitress was friendly and gave us good service. The food was good. We had the turkey dinner The lunch special. which was very filling. The only complaint that I had is that it's $4 for a small cup of coffee. where you can get a large cup of coffee for either free or $3 at QuickCheck. The coffee was the same quality. And why is tea always more expensive than coffee. It's $4 for a small cup of tea.“

“Michele was our server for our private party and she was Fantastic! She remembered Everything that we asked for and our party was a handful of drinkers! The food was Excellent and I Sure did want a kids 🍕 It looked Great!“

“Just went to dinner with 7 of my gal friends! Had the best waitress was able to give us separate checks which included gratuities. The food was fantastic. We were able to sit and talk and was not noisy! We will be back“

“Food and service were great, nice to have one here in Hamilton.“

“Was at a fundraiser, it was a good experience.“
