New American Restaurants near Oakland, NJ

“Great place. Food and service are awesome .“

“Food has definitely gotten better. We had the Calabrian clams, duck leg, white bolognese, grilled prawns and blood orange cheesecake. Everything was wonderful and fresh, could be better with some minor tweaks. The clams should be served with some bread to soak up that delicious sauce. The prawns would have been much better if it was left whole with shell and head on, it was slightly over cooked. All in all, a fantastic meal!!“

“Outstanding! I'm usually skeptical about going out on holidays even to my favorite restaurants. That said, I love AS (and Charlie's Place) and Danny and his team really knocked it out of the park on Valentine's Day! I felt like Danny invited us into his home. The food and service were perfect for every course.“

“Loved it, diffently going back, and they cater to vegetarian, and to anyone who dont drink alcohol, they have a great selection. Now my waiter, Mo, was the best. She went above and beyond, i really appreciated it. This will be my new, go out with friends and watch the games spot“

“We live a few towns away and unfortunately we didn’t find this place sooner. Food was amazing not what we expected. We thought it was just a bar but it’s a restaurant. It has a unique feel and the service top notch. Keep up the good work.“

“I come from Pennsylvania an hour and 40 mins away just to get some cars! Lol. I love love loveeeeee the wraps with chicken, Philly steak, mozzarella cheese sticks, French fries with cheese sauce is to die for!! Highly recommend to anyone in the area. Delicious!“

“We threw a drop-in Buffet dinner for family and friends at Houlihans for 30 to 35 people. The room is spacious and accommodated everyone comfortably. Our server Eileen was excellent and the food was delicious. Michelle who assisted with the catering was very detail oriented and help me plan a great event. Sebastian the manager as extremely gracious and helped ensure our guests were taken care of. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend..“

“Service was quick
Employees were cheerful and enjoyable
Food was very tasty seasoned correctly
I had to beef in Chinese vegetables, large amounts of beef selection vegetables could’ve been better
The barbecued boneless spareribs were out of this world!!
The chicken fried rice in the how special fried rice is perfect
Then don’t leave without their homemade mustard😀“

“We dined at Robert’s for the first time. We were celebrating a relative’s birthday. The food was outrageous! The appetizers were amazing as were all of the entrees. I had chicken stuffed with mushrooms and I can honestly say that it was the best chicken I have ever eaten. The portions were plentiful. We had a large selection of desserts to choose from at the end of the meal. I chose one particular dessert but before mine came out, I asked if I could exchange it for one that someone in our party had in front of her. No problem. They accommodated me and it was beyond delicious. Also, the staff was very attentive during our whole meal. They could not have been any better. The only negative was the fact that there was also another birthday celebration going on at the same time and it was so noisy that we couldn’t hear each other talk. Despite that, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to this fabulous restaurant.“

“Food is fresh and presented wonderfully. A little on the high priced side. The price matches the ambiance though. You have to plan to spend when you go but will enjoy the experience completely.“

“This place cranks out the best Taylor ham egg n cheeses. Any negative review you see of this restaurant is false. Seriously, get the TEC w SPK on a roll and you will literally soon after be telling someone else about how delicious it was.“

“The personnel/staff amazing ! The decor and grounds are stunning. The food delicious it’s a 10 !!!“

“Stop in soon and see the renovations, beautiful, and the food, yummy and the staff, friendly and the wait time, almost none, and the prices great, the portions ginormas, and the parking, tons of it. Chris, Gerry and the staff are terriffic. Come in a sit a few and chat with them and enjoy a meal. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, you won't regret it!!“

“Get a swimming, pool and poolside service lol 💦🍽️🍋“

“Fabulous place to host a private event in their beautiful downstairs area. The buffet was one of the best I have ever been to, the dressing on the salad was exceptional. The owner was very accommodating and the menu offered a variety of choices that took into consideration allergies and dietary preferences. not one complaint on any of the food. our server dona was terrific, the place is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, lots of parking available and very reasonable prices. I have also been there for lunch and highly recommend their flatbread. Love this place and will be back often.“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“They handled our son's graduation party and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. Quick setup before and the food selections were all fresh and outstanding. Would absolutely recommend them!“

“It was the 1st time at Maggie's and it won't be the last! Fast service (but not rushed), hot food and we took our dessert to go! Alyssa, our server, was amazing and made sure all of our dietary wishes were met! Stop by for a drink - a meal - or just to say hi to the super friendly staff!“

“The food tastes delicious. I think if the place is called Gyro it is reasonable that they cut the meat from the gyro in front of you. However that is not the case the gyro meat is in a container just like in a cart in the city. And to be 100% honest, considering that I paid over $15 for a platter with a Coke and it is served in a plastic Tupperware with plastic fork, at the very least the portions should be bigger. It is not the case, not a lot of rice, not a lot of meat, not a lot of salad. I think I would go more often otherwise.
However the taste is there and it tastes pretty good.“

“We have been shopping here as our main grocery store pretty much since it opened. While it is a smaller Whole Foods, it tends to have a good stock of a good variety of items, both fresh and packaged. It is generally clean (with one exception, see below) and most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is an Amazon Locker here, so you can get your Amazon packages delivered to this locker, do your shopping, and then pick up your package all in one trip. There are a two issues I very much wish they would fix. For one thing, the restrooms are consistently not clean. This is a suburban store and doesn't get the volume of customers that an NYC store gets, but they don't seem to be able to keep the restrooms in good order. My other issue has to do with what they choose to stock in a couple of categories. The first is orange juice. I always look for organic orange juice not in a clear container (so as not to compromise Vitamin C). I just want organic orange juice in an opaque container the way it comes -- not pulp-free, not extra-pulp, not with Vitamin D added, etc. They never stock this. My other stocking issue has to do with ice cream. They have all kinds of interesting flavors, several kinds of dairy-free options, etc. but I just want a pint of premium, organic vanilla ice cream, straight up. This can sometimes be found but often they don't have it on the shelf even though they carry all kinds of great brands that would offer it. If only this store remedied these two issues, they'd be five stars for sure!“

“Coolest bar in the area, the regulars are some of the best“

“Place is great and solid. They make the best breakfast in town, too bad they aren't open earlier but I guess to keep quality the chef/owner need to sleep or be with their families at some point unfortunately for us hungry customers. Burgers, dogs,gyros, turkey sandwiches, and Italian ice recommended.“

“I came here with my son after church. He found this place based on the reviews. This place is great! I ordered a waffle with fruit and my son had the cheesesteak sandwich minus the cheese..and coffee..my son said it was the BEST steak sandwich he has ever had. My waffle was great! The fruit was so Fresh. The service was great and such a cute and cozy environment. It’s a hidden treasure.. this place did not disappoint!“

“Stumbled upon this gem and haven't looked back, since before covid, during covid and to this day! My favorite pub, I recommend all, never disappoints! Love the ambiance, love all the wait staff especially Theresa, feels like a visit with a friend! We go all seasons but especially love the deck in warmer weather! GO, you won't regret it!“

“Chef Melissa Mak is amazing. We’ve been dining at The Front Porch regularly for the past 12 months and not only is the food creative and delicious (Asian fusion pub food, so YUMMY!), the staff is super friendly and the drinks are awesome. We’ve had almost everything on the menu and you won’t be disappointed.“

“Passed this place a bunch of times. So I was hungry. So I said let’s give it a try. Well was amazing. Staff from moment walked in very friendly. Warm welcome. Started off with the Fire Roasted Wings (10) flame-broiled all-natural chicken wings marinated in fresh herbs & spices + lemon & herb dipping sauce Dough-Roni Pie Olli Salumeria pepperoni + tomato sauce + ricotta + fresh mozzarella + red onions Lemon Ricotta Ravioli Hand-made Ravioli + summer squash + fresh mint + pistachios + lemon zest + parmesan cheese Got off track sorry. Has seating at bar and has outside patio. (Was just a little to hot out there today) Very clean and definitely swinging by again. It’s right across street from Fairfield airport. Can’t forget the wine cooler before seated. There had to be 25+ wines to choose from.“

“Terrific experience… Amazing place… The owners take great attention to detail… This is definitely the place to go if you’re looking for an original experience- one like no other I highly recommend this place“

“Love this place the food the service the atmosphere!“

“We had our holiday party here and the experience was excellent. The staff was extremely accommodating, making everything run smoothly. The food was beyond outstanding as usual! This time we started with 3 apps that I tried. A salmon tatar, raw oysters on a half shell and shrimp. We like to eat and love our food lol. Soo sooo good- Then I ordered the tuna that had a perfect crispy crust on the outside and rare on the inside with a delicious wasabi sauce along side black rice and steamed bok choy. Incredibly delicious Would definitely go back! Highly recommend!l“

“What can I say???? Simply put “Amazing Yummy”!!! I came with my husband for the first time and we left super impressed. While the restaurant is small it is absolutely devine! The food is so good. We had the Mozzarella and Shrimp for appetizers both really good. The best part and what I always look for is freshness and food that is seasoned and this Chef delivered. My husband’s steak was delicious as well- it is not often that my husband says “uhmm so delicious “ when eating. He cooks and tends to be very hard to please, therefore; compliments to che chef!!!

We had been looking for our next regular place since moving to town and we just found it. We will be back very soon.

Our waiters were so nice and polite and knew the menu.

The chef was nice enough to make a couple of modifications to my dish which I am so grateful for 💕

Thank you for cooking with so much passion and flavor and excellent service.“

“Great menu and quality food“

“So so so good! Amazing quality and delicious flavors! I love that you can order in DeliverZero containers instead of single-use! Everything was so good but I’m most amazed with the tenders! The chicken was juicy and delicious and didn’t seem to be super fried and didn’t have a ton of breading, allowing the chicken to really shine 😍“

“I just discovered this place. Great Chicken.“

“I’ve had Jamaican food before, but NOTHING is as delicious as their food! Curry chicken fell off the bone, perfect amount of curry. My husband was very pleased with the food too! This place is amazing!“

“I was near Goffle Grill last night so I had to stop by and visit Tony the owner. Of course the food was great. I wish I lived closer I probably be there several times a week. They have a pretty big menu and it's never disappointed.Nice people, good food, please support them.“

“Our server Anna was amazing. We were a party of 10 and she did not write down our orders but everything came out as expected. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was giving holiday vibes. Family friendly. Lots to choose from on the menu and the prices were on point.“

“ricoooo recomiendo ir con la familia 👪 😉 👌“
