American Restaurants near Oceanport

“We had a marriage celebration luncheon at Blu Grotto this September and it was fantastic. Our guests could not say enough about how delicious the food was, how pretty the venue was, and what a great time they had. Guila made the day really special and it was a pure delight to work with her. The servers were professional and fun and everything was done to perfection. If I had to do it all over again, I would still pick Blu Grotto!! Thank you Guila, Chef James, and the delightful servers and bartenders.“

“Food was better than anticipated and very exciting as you bet on the races while dining. They do not rush you at all they let you have all the time you want. Service was a bit lacking because it was Mothers Day and so busy but she was very sweet so it made up for it. Everyone there was very kind and helpful and we even got a tour and brought down to the Winners circle! Amazing exciting day and we will definitely be doing this again.“

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!“

“Soul Kitchen is amazing! Our students love working with the great staff and always feel welcome and learn great skills and life lessons. The student favorite part of the soul Kitchen experience is of course the delicious food made by Chef Emily and her staff. The Matawan Regional staff and students want to thank Bon Jovi and all his supporters for a great experience and relationship!“

“I just had the BEST beef gyro! Beef was so tender and tasty and the tzatziki sauce was delicious! I will be back again!“

“I came in for The Big Meal Deal the other night. I was seated in no time at all with a great view of the big screen TV. Minutes later a young lady named Maddy came over and introduced herself and asked if I would like to order a beverage. I ordered my beverage and my meal at the same time . Maddy then inquired if I would be interested in an appetizer. I do like buffalo wings so I ordered them as a starter. My beverage was delivered to my table very quickly by Maddy. She returned with the buffalo wings at almost an unbelievable short wait, I was offered ranch and bleu cheese for dipping and wet naps and napkins for my hands. To my surprise my bacon cheese burger came out exactly as ordered medium rare. (Nice Tender And Juicy) I expect to return to the Middletown Applebee`s in the very near future. I will be asking to be seated in Maddy`s section and I suggest you do the same. Maddy is very professional and treats you with a fun, friendly, attentive and respectful personality !!!“

“Was there after the lunch crowd today 2/1/22. The place was spotless, the restroom was also. Excellent choice of burgers and sandwiches. My wife and I both had burgers and we both agreed they were the best we have had in at least 20 yrs. Grade A meat and the french fries were freshly cut and fried. Can't wait to get back. If you are a movie buff like me you will love the decor. The service was great also.“

“Such a lovely, welcoming dining experience. The food is amazing, as is the chef. His specials were made with love and some of the best meals we have ever had. Could not give a higher recommendation.“

“Service for table of 10 was outstanding. Husband and I shared a pizza and charcuterie. Both were ok, not terrible, not great. Wine list is extensive and glasses are half price during happy hour. We sat outside on a beautiful evening so that was all the atmosphere we needed. Entertainment was just getting started as we were leaving, but we heard enough to want to come back when they play here again.“

“What a wonderful addition to Red Bank!!! Will definitely be back to try other menu items. Hope I can stop myself from ordering the Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki Bowl. 😬“

“This was my first time at Bistro Avon. I had lunch with a friend today. We had the Lobster and Crab Bisque, the Aloha Salad, Tiramisu and coffee. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“Words aren’t enough to describe this remarkable and outstanding restaurant. From the service to the food everything was just perfect. One small suggestion, please expand the kids menu. I was with my family and my eight and eleven years old children. Aside from that everything was just beautiful.“

“Awesome food! My Maui Sliders were the BEST! Tater Tots with Cheese were so good as well!“

“1st time ordering from here. We tried the Cobb Salad to go. Owner ran out of Blue Cheese but asked if we wanted an alternate cheese. Was still delicious! Very fresh and tasty! Portion size was good. Owner was also very friendly. Even though Keansburg is desolate due to the season, this restaurant is still open and it's worth the trip to either eat in or order out from here. I recommend giving them a try if you haven't already.“

“We love the Oyster Point Hotel! The bartenders and servers are awesome.. couldn’t be nicer!! But… we miss the wasabi snacks!“

“Delicious meal from start to finish! Don’t skip dessert ?“

“Me and my sister-in-law‘s tried this place after a spa day. What a great choice the atmosphere was great. I love the decor. Our server was super friendly and suggestive. They had so many good choices for lunch. We tried the turkey cranberry melt and chicken salad wrap. We also tried the fried goat cheese balls so delicious. I tried the soup which I wish was a little heartier but was good. we really enjoyed our meal. I definitely recommend giving this place a try.“

“Everyone there is awesome and I trust them with anything they make me. My family has been coming here since they opened and all of them are family to me. You know it’s trust when you walk in and tell Anthony, make me whatever you want. Never fails and it’s always amazing.“

“Should be five stars!......Had a $25 gift card in my desk, took Eva to dinner, great menu, she had the fish and I had beef. Justin took our orders, brought our drinks and appetizers. The main course was well presented, prepared, and delicious! I recommend the cheesecake for desert! Justin was great, helped box leftovers, great service, thanks!“

“Stayed overnight for a one day work trip. After a 51/2 hour drive the last thing I wanted to do was drive anywhere for dinner ( didn’t want food in take out containers either) sat at the bar, had a Caesar salad and pasta primavera, added salmon.
The salmon was perfectly cooked as ordered ( medium rare) and it was excellent! A bit pricey, but excellent food and service!“

“Great food, drinks and great service. great atmosphere.“

“Teriyaki Chicken Wings 😋😋 😋MGGGAWD BEYOND DELISH, Sweet Plantains, & the homemade Strawberry lemonade....for sure I will be returning. My husband enjoyed his whiting, Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens and lemon Pepper Wings. if you haven't given them a try....YOURE MISSING OUT!“

“Service was absolutely horrible. Had to walk out of diner. Waitress wouldn't bring menus or coffee to us even after asking 3 times. There 22 min with no service. Waitress said they only do one customer at a time. Terrible place don't go there“

“food was great. service the best. ambience pleasant loved this place.“

“If I tell you how wonderful the place, the people, the plates are will you promise not to go? It’s hard enough snagging a reservation without hoards of people trying to book a table after reading justifiably rave reviews. OK, here goes. Agnolotti pasta and sweet potato hush puppies as appetizers to start and oh, what a start it was. Monk fish and a bacon-jam encrusted pork chop, both cooked to perfection, as entrees. Lemon tart and a you-gotta-try-it-once-in-your-life “budino,” for dessert. (Do you know stressed spelled backwards is desserts?) What’s a budino you ask? Adult pudding, whipped by angels, so addictive it must have been created by Satan. Farm to Table, fresh, sustainable, local, tucked away on a side street in Red Bank… and you get to bring your own favorite wine. Don’t go. Don’t tell your friends. Let this gem be all mine.“

“I have dined here multiple times. The food is always great as is the service. The restaurant has a cute vibe, however the last few times I have eaten here the restaurant has been extremely dirty. The silverware is not clean and the tables and floors are not clean. The tables nearby remain uncleared for the duration of our dining. I want to keep dining here, but it really needs to be better kept.“

“I went to the Robinson Ale House on June 29, 2024. Service was excellent. The waitress was wonderful. My husband and I had lunch. I had a T-bone steak special , he had meatloaf. They were excellent. We had key lime pie for dessert. Really good too. We were seated outside on the side because we needed shade. Planning another trip in August. I can’t wait to try the Drunken Clams this time if it’s still on their menu. I hope I get the same waitress. If they still have the T-bone on their daily special I recommend you get that. I had mine medium rare. Quite pricey but well worth it. The rest of the menu is moderately priced. Good generous sized portions. Definitely recommend. 5 stars“

“A very good place for American food!
