50 Best American Restaurants near Pennington

“The service and atmosphere at Wildflowers is great. The food is pretty great as well. 4/5 Stars on the food. Why 4 instead of 5? Personal preference. There was a little too much ricotta in the calzone for my taste. It didn't ruin the dish for me. Like I said, personal preference.“

“What an incredible event for our niece Angelina on her 18th Birthday! The family Nick, Patty and Alex Mastoris, down to the amazing staff that helped work Angelina's 18th birthday dinner was on point. The food, the amazing service and overall experience of how organized the dinner went. The family made our nieces birthday extra special that she won't ever forget. All family and friends enjoyed their cocktails, mocktails, dessert stations and prefix meal that was ABSOLUTELY delicious. Thank you so much Mastoris family! We will be definitely planning on a future party with you folks again. We are very thankful to all of you. Allison J“

He was absolutely amazing at his job, really helpful, great personality, has wonderful hospitality! Would 10/10 recommend going and having him as your waiter! I think the best waiter I’ve ever had!!“

“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.“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Charcoal. Menu is not big, but varied enough. Food was really delicious and our server was attentive and friendly. It's BYOB which some may find a negative. But, as long as you know, you can bring your own wine or beer and save a boatload of money. We liked it so much, we're going back again this week with friends.“

“Blue Bottle Cafe NEVER EVER disappoints with their food, their hospitality and their service! They made our Birthday celebration so special and everyone went above and beyond! Thank you to the chef for accommodating us with our special food needs and the staff for being so friendly and patient with us! Xoxo“

“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.“

“Wonderful experience tonight at Jojo's! The white cosmo and extensive beer list were the perfect start to an evening after a very rough day. My wife had one of the best BLTs of her life and my vodka rigatoni was top notch, a bellwether for any good Italian restaurant. All recommended and served with a smile by our waitress Devon. She was super helpful, very friendly, and made sure our evening was enjoyable. A long, difficult day was made great and relaxing with good food and exceptional service. Can't wait to go back!“

“Great, relaxed lunch with DELICIOUS sandwiches/home-made bread...and let's talk about the desserts! What a great spot.“

“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.“

“We just had an amazing dinner!!! We started out with an amuse-bouche of Scallops that were out of this world. Then we had Octopus and it was so incredibly tender. For dinner we had the Red Snapper and it was cooked to perfection. We ended the evening with dessert and coffee. Well worth the hour drive in each direction. Can't wait to come back.“

“Had the chicken birra tacos, they were good. My daughter had the pretzel and beer cheese and that was really good. But omg the star of the show was the warm kale salad. It was amazing !!!! I find kale salads hard to get through but having it warm made it sooooooo much better.“

“Really enjoyed my visit to Acacia. The service was great, and the food was excellent. I had the Red Coconut Curry (seafood) and I highly recommend. It was the first visit for my dinner guest who thoroughly enjoyed the calamari appetizer and vodka rigatoni. Can't wait to return!“

“This. Places. Is fabulous ! Really good. The food. And service is top notch ! I love hing thing. About or his gem hubby got filetop mignon wiith Gorgonzola cheese iii had the stuffed chicken breast. Own/...prosciutto d propped wwith tomato cream sauce Deli hb. Our newnfav place“

“The food was so good, I had the crab bisque soup, teriyaki salmon, mushroom risotto.. everything was perfect. The waitress was very nice and didn't bother us consistently through the meal but did check in on us enough to not feel neglected. Would recommend to anyone.“

“I was interested in trying a traditional Philadelphia Cheesesteak....they serve exactly what I was looking for. The meat was good the cheese to meat portion was good, and all melted in there..my only complaint was the serving size was way to big...a half of sandwich was all I could eat..being so large, the price like the sandwich was 2 x too high.. They serve bottled Birch Root beer, which is excellent.“

“Their signature culinary culture is an exceptional customer service with an esoteric culinary experience. If you want to try a cross between Deep South Soul, Asian and American dining, Jagray's is a gem in the Princeton dining area. Located right on the Princeton Country Club Golf Course property itself, Jagrah's is the best culinary experience at this golf course since 1999. Why? The ownership cares! They serve dishes that have had several TV and local new reviews that make this hidden gem one of the best eateries for a private romantic experience after hours. Full bar and table service by experienced waiters and waitresses, Jagray's aims to please. Their fusion menu of Soul, Asian and American is very unique. You will be very impressed and surprised of the flavors and quality of the offerings on their dinner menu. Well worth checking out.“

“The food was really good, We got some nachos with chili and they were delicious. The barbecued pulled pork was my jam, oIt was definitely a solid sandwich. My other half got a burger, and that looked really good, and he said was delicious. We both enjoyed everything and the bartender was friendly and funny. Great experience. The only thing I wish about this place was the parking was easier.“

“Great selection of beers; I had a flight of 4 (Hidden Values, Of Hops and Clouds, Public Offering, Dead Cat Bounce) and each one was delicious. The pork belly tacos ($16) only come with two tacos instead of the usual three, but don't be put off - they are actually loaded with toppings and it was definitely enough for a meal. The buffalo chicken salad ($17) similarly came with a generous portion of meat. Dog friendly outside!“

“I checked this place out after craving for some barbecue and a trip to see some friends.The staff was very friendly and was a smooth experience ordering the brisket sandwich and fries. Very tender brisket and the fries were tasty.Would recommend this spot if you're looking for a nice barbecue in the Oxford Valley PA area.“

“Service was impeccable. Presentation superb. Pacing terrific. We really enjoyed the wine pairing which gave us the opportunity to try some new wines and sake. The various amuse bouche were delightful. One quibble is that the courses that should have been hot were not.“

“Wonderful food, awesome server ( Carly ) and we had a fantastic visit. Not inexpensive, but appropriate for the quality of the experience. So nice to dine in a place that wasn't as noisy as a junior high cafeteria. Cheers! Not our first visit, and certainly will not be our last. Highly recommended.“

“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 time having lunch at Blooming Grove, and we were very pleasantly surprised by the extent of the menu options. There was so much to choose from that it made our decisions more difficult. Our server, Allison, was delightful and very efficient. We enjoyed our delicious roast pork with provolone and broccoli rabe sandwiches, and the French fries were exceptionally good, too. The atmosphere was quaint and cozy. We will definitely be back again!“

“Came here to meet up with my friend for lunch! Super cute vibes, amazing service. Me & my friend are so clumsy she spilled her entire drink all over, they were super quick with the pick up and even brought her back out the drink she ordered. Would definitely come back. Calamari was yum!!!“

“Had the salmon. Was tasty. Excellent presentation of shrimp cocktail, looked delicious. My friend ordered and said it was very good. Maybe I should have ordered a steak, I wasn't overly impressed with the salmon, especially with the prices. Brussel sprouts were very tasty.“

“Adam Kabob and Grill is a modest space in a strip mall. You probably passed by it on route many times, but it's this type of "hidden treasure" place that has the best food. I spent more money on gas than I did for my Beef Seekh Kabob platter! The plate was covered with food. The beef kabobs were spiced just right (savory, not hot spicy) and tender. The host was very friendly and welcoming. He thanked every customer that picked up food for their patronage and was polite taking orders over the phone. He even generously brought me a side of hummus on the house out of kindness and the spirit of giving. They also have vegetarian options. I will definitely be back to try other dishes. The only question I have is: When are you opening a restaurant in NJ?“

“Smash burgers are the best! Also they make real, fresh house cut French fries! My one gripe is that the burger is served on a plate lined with paper which becomes soaked and sticks to the bun.“

“Witherspoon Grill was amazing. We were greeted by our server within seconds of sitting down. He took excellent care of us, from talking about the daily specials to ensuring our drinks were topped off. The food was simply amazing. I had the fresh caught cod with a lemon beurre blanc sauce and the house salad. 10/10 will hopefully be back soon!“

“This is such a family friendly and welcoming cafe and restaurant! Very close to a farm we were visiting and another Mom recommended it to me, because she said it was kid friendly equipped with high chairs, crayons and lightening fast service! Chubby’s did not disappoint - the food came out hot and fresh quickly and with kids IYKYK! I loved the atmosphere and vibes here. We had the special - shrimp tacos, so good! If I ever return to the area, I will visit this establishment again! I tried my daughter’s pancakes and they were also scrumptious.“

“Been living in the area for three years before finally coming in last night. Forget the outside look of the place. Inside the vibe is comfortable and bustling in a good way,. They are known for their wings and they deliver big time. The house sauce is terrific. Great flavor with moderate heat. Popcorn shrimp platter with fries awesome. Live , acoustic music was good. Service was tremendous… shout out to Cab, who made us feel welcome. Lots of specials and informative social media. 5 stars across the board. We will be back.“

“We had the fish and chips tonight. It was light and not greasy like other places. Very enjoyable!“

“The good was awesome. It reminded us of tapas. The menu was very eclectic and most items were on a "Sharing" menu.We selected 4 items to share, all of which were perfectly prepared and tasted great.The service was excellent and the decor was terrificWe look forward to coming back“

“We had a long wait to get a server to come by. My wife went to look for someone to make sure we hadn't been forgotten. The manager came by and apologized for the wait, blaming himself for the delay. He offered us a free appetizer for waiting which was nice. The food is always good but atmosphere is just so-so. I don't think the place has been updated in 20 years, so it's due.“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. A place where everybody is somebody.“

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

“It's great to see a local hotdog spot in general, but one with such dedication to our first responders and armed services is even better. The staff is warm and kind and the food is incredible. If you're looking for quality, this is the spot!“

“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 .?“

“I’ve never actually been here but I drive by it every day. I can just tell it’s a good spot. Always people here. I see Joe and Fernando every morning getting their breakfast. It’s just a solid place. Classic diner. Classic food. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Love it here! Service is friendly, great food that comes out in a timely manner - can’t go wrong with whatever you order. Love the classic diner look. Plenty of free parking in the lot. I especially love coming here around the holidays when a local woman makes gifts that have cute mugs and goodies inside - perfect and inexpensive! I still have my snowman mug from a couple years ago!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp for convenience.“

“Good food nice atmosphere, waitress was great!!“

“Great meal and cocktails. Our guests enjoyed the crispy fried oysters, Salmon, and Seared Tuna. Very accommodating with how dishes are prepared. My martini was perfect but more impressive is they always have a non-alcoholic mixed drink-cocktail for those not wanting or able to ‘drink' per se, so everyone can enjoy a festive evening. The piano bar atmosphere is great on Friday and Saturday nights and the selections nicely varied. I noted ‘moderate' for noise level and mean it as a positive because you can enjoy the music but also no trouble talking with your dining partners.“

“As busy as a golf course gets, and rightfully so. This is probably one of the most fun yet challenging courses we have played so far, with hazards a plenty yet nothing that some thoughtful planning and good shot selection can’t get you though. As an added bonus- the carts are electric, and the ice cold water refill statins as every other hole are also much appreciated! Oh, and they have a driving range to boot“

“Mistral is a gem! We recently hosted an engagement dinner at Mistral and they did a fantastic job! I worked closely with Heather, the event manager and she was very thorough and guided me through the process with menu and wine and other details! The food was delicious, drinks are amazing and service staff is super! They were extremely attentive and served with a smile! Our guests were very impressed with this venue and we all had a blast at Mistral! Thank you Mistral for making our dinner celebration a memorable one!“

“Tried Cosmos again for the 3rd time. Was really good. We both had an item that most people don't eat at a so called "pizza" restaurant. Salmon. Have to say it was really good. Good piece, nice size and tasted really good. Will definitely go back.“

“I grew up in Chambersburg section here in Trenton nj, Been to most of the Legendary and Best restaurants and mom n pop little Delis in South Trenton, Tatoni's , Cesars , Angelo Tamara's, Porfirio s, Amicis, La Gandola, Creccos, Blue Danube, Pete's, Delo's, Papa's and now Im adding on Pat's Diner South Broad Street ? New owner has the Place so Friggin clean! Noticebly Different!! Same old Pat's dont get it mixed up. I couldn't see a spec of dust in the place, counters sparkling, glass shining, floors you can eat off of, super clean kitchen from where my girl and I were sitting.Most Important, the food was "Mind Blowingly Fresh, homemade to order, pot roast special completew/ soup to salad 2 vegetables and desert included and The BestCorn beef Reuben Ive ever eaten in My Life !!!! Seriously, UnFriggin Believable. I got up from my table to introduce myself to the female owner and she was super nice soft spoken n seemed very humble. The thing I took notice to was her attention in overseeing the running of the Diner. There seemed to be a general level of respect between the staff and owner which is rather rare to witness and feel when youre in a business today. We didn't feel rushed at all to get the table " Turned Over" and thoroughly appreciated that. Im taking the time to explain this experience to those of you that are blessed to have taken your time to read it because I think its so very very crucial to our existence to know that there are people and places Still in Existence Today that show up and are of service to other still doing it with Dignity Respect and Honor. I wont do a comparison to the few surrounding diner's Because I dont need to. Visit Pat's Diner on South Broad Street and see for yourself precisely what I Described and I'm ? that you'll have yourself a "New Diner" you can Thank me when you see me there - One of them BurgerBits“

“It's one lady cooking and taking care of all customers & she's amazing. The food is amazing especially the fried whiting & she works fast to get her busy day and orders out of the way in a timely manner. I love it! I just moved to morrisville from Virginia and I love it!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff.. very good food. Jenna was awesome, very attentive, and provided excellent service. I would definitely return. Also, Natalie assisted every time she walked by. GREAT TEAMWORK. The fish & chip are great. Also, it is not listed as a starter (appetizer), but the fried green beans should not be overlooked. There are the best appetizers on the menu.“

“Excellent food. The roast beef dinner and the turkey dinners were fresh and plentiful. The desserts were also fresh and delicious, with a large selection. The rest rooms and dining rooms were spotless. Our server, was very friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend this place.“

“Smash burgers are the best! Also they make real, fresh house cut French fries! My one gripe is that the burger is served on a plate lined with paper which becomes soaked and sticks to the bun.“
