50 Best American Restaurants near Passaic

“My go-to sandwich spot! Delicious! Inexpensive! My son is also completely addicted to the grilled cheese sandwiches they make, we go every Saturday for lunch. I love that everything is clean and sanitary, not every deli knows how to make a good “Bodega sandwich” but this spot NAILS it.“

“I work in Midtown Manhattan and everyone in the company has tasted the cuisine of So Good Cuisine LLC... we licked our fingers with that seafood ham and chofan... wow how delicious, just remembering it is a pleasure to the palate... Since then we have ordered our dishes holidays with them.. I highly recommend it if you want to eat well and look good with your guests.. they are super cordial and attentive to the details of the order… We went to the restaurant and it is nice and hygienic too.. It is decorated with love..“

“I went to Unchingrabandgo, and let me tell you, the lady who attended me, Flory, was so humble and charismatic! She really made my visit special. The food came out on time and was absolutely delicious. It's always a bonus when the service is excellent, right? Flory's kindness definitely added some extra flavor to the whole experience!“

“Y son had cachapa with a friend about 2 weeks ago and has been raving ever. We finally went with him on Saturday and returned on Sunday. We ordered cachapas, Chimi, yaroa and monfonguitos. All were good I would say the portions are big for 1 person small for 2. The juices were good as well.“

“This restaurant is built on a philosophy I want to applaud. Vegetable-forward dishes. Farm to table freshness. Clear expressions of flavour in each dish. And it works. This is fine dining that also puts you at ease as a customer. Service is polite, prompt, but never overbearing. The dishes like being reintroduced to old friends. Familiar flavours that are so much more alive than you expect. Delightful.“

“I feel guilty for wanting this place all to myself because it's so good. The staff handled my children's requests with grace. This place distinguishes itself clearly. Their menu offerings and service quality merit top rating. You should taste what this spot offers once.“

“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.“

“Fantastic Brunch! Wife and I have been to Essex many times for dinner and drinks at both locations but this was our first bunch at the new location and it didn't disappoint. They've definitely upped their brunch game with some creative shared plates like middle eastern flatbreads and Dutch Baby pancakes. Went with a large group and there was something for everyone. Decor was stunning and, given how crowded the restaurant was, the volume level of manageable. Highly recommend.“

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

“I thoroughly enjoyed my reservation at Linden’s!

A small group of us were there to celebrate a friends birthday. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, the service was nothing short of amazing, and every dish we ordered was delicious!

I will be back again soon : )“

“The food is phenomenal!! That’s it, that’s all!!“

“The food as amazing took my girlfriend out for her birthday we came for breakfast and everything tasted great we did sit outside and every 5-10 min a wasp would fly by to our table the staff did spray the greenery with a spray that did help but would recommend sitting inside when choosing but would definitely come back“

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!“

“Had a great late breakfast complete with Mimosas and Alfie’s Amber Ale- all served by our awesome bartender Niamh from Ireland!!!“

“Unbelievable food and awesome atmosphere. Service was fast. Definitely recommend this place“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“This was delicious. Bread taste like French baguette, pate is amazing, pancake are calling me to come back.

The only down is that it was my husband birthday, & I asked for a candle on our pancake. The waiter which we liked because of his wine knowledge, told me « I got you, will add it on a chocolate tart ». when you hear this, you just think that this small attention will be free, like in every single restaurant in nyc. Unfortunately, when I got the check, I saw I was charged for this. Waiter didn’t wanted to remove it.

We will come back but definitely will ensure this is not for a special day, where you expect such simple attention.
Hence - still grade 5 stars as the food is the most important & it was delicious.“

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“BEST FILET MIGNON I’ve ever had!!! Woww
I was honestly impressed. Usually I just get disappointed with the food when I go to very fancy restaurants! But this one amazed me 💛
Great atmosphere/ vibe, love all the details and service. Just sad that the tables have to be so close to each other.“

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

“Is it pretentious? Yes. Is it loud? Yes. Is the food amazing beyond your expectations? Yes. Fresh oysters, great caviar, one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, the list goes on. You’ll be thankful you put up with the wait and the cramped bar once you sit and taste the food“

“Party of eight and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. 👍 for the kitchen staff on doing everything perfect and quick. The staff was amazing and service was great. I highly recommend the burger 🍔. Will definitely go back.“

“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!“

“I want to work for Applebee's again I was with the company 3 years serving and was losing my apartment one day I mentioned to manager Guillermo of Hackensack NJ Applebee's that I had to leave because the police was at my house doing eviction and he wouldn't let me go. I turned in the restaurant money and left because what do you do when ur in the middle of an eviction and your boss wasn't being understanding or reasonable?...... I went to attend my personal situation with my apartment at the time and he then red flagged me from working for Doherty ent. Again .....is there a way I can get a fair hearing and get back to working with the company I started ever serving at my first time ever?“

“The amazing food and professional service is what I rely on for special moments I want to enjoy whole-heartedly.“

“We've been here many times, for dinner on week days and brunch on weekends. The cocktails are always solid, the food options never disappoint and the staff is excellent, warm and welcoming. This is why we keep coming back again and again. Totally recommended!“

“Heard good things about this place and my first visit did not disappoint. The vibe was fun and trendy, and the food and drinks were good. I’ve never had a frozen Aperol spritz until I came to this place, and it was delicious. Will absolutely come back!“

“Such fun and unexpected food. We had only 3 dishes: fish head terrine, lentils with eel and whole mackerel. Great preparation and seasoning. Didn’t go for any of the limited dessert offerings. Space is rather dull. Staff and server were delightful. Recommend thus restaurant for adventurous pescatarians“

“Went to Orchard townhouse on a Monday with my bestie she got a glass of cab sauv and I got chamomile fields, which I loved. For appetizer we got the prosciutto & stracciatella, which was fantastic! Lastly, we split the burger and the kale Caesar. They were nothing to write home about but good nonetheless. I loved the vibe in this place it was cozy and intimate. I will say my only complaint is we felt a little rush towards the end and that surprised us since the place was no where near closing nor was it busy.“

“Great service, tasty brunch, delicious drink menu. Roomy atmosphere and lots of indoor and outdoor seating where you're not on top of eachother. Evy was awesome as our server and took great care of us.“

“Delicious food!!! Friendly people!!!“

“Everything was outstandingly delicious!!!“

“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.“

“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!“
