50 Best American Restaurants near Point Pleasant

“Table of 4 with no duplicates on apps or entrees so that’s a lot of ingredients. Every one of those ingredients were prepared to perfection! A thick cut pork chop you could cut with a fork, mussels that I’ve never had that tender, the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had and the list goes on. Every person there raved about their meal. All the best, you’re definitely raising the bar in the area. Oh and our server was super friendly.“

“On June 1st we will be living in PP for two years. Last night we discovered a hidden gem! The owner/ chef was extremely pleasant, gracious and talented. Everything was delicious. The Clams appetizer, Caesar salad, lamb chops and limoncello cake were outstanding. The Sesame Ahi Tuna with Zoodles was hands down the best Ahi dish I’ve ever had! Extra bonus for being BYO! Already looking forward to a return visit. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Staff was very friendly. Food was very good. Prices reasonable. First time there and we didn’t know it was cash only or Venmo, but that’s ok. Will definitely be back“

“Came here for a quick, Sunday homestyle breakfast and was not disappointed at all. The atmosphere is unique, to say the least, but also gives a lot to start conversations amongst the table. Serving portions were superb and food was very tasty. I have seen other comments and reviews that were very negative and nasty, but everybody can have a bad day once in a while. They were complaining on the service and owner/waiter being rude and yelling. I've seen more positive ratings than negative ones. While not everybody has the same humor, people can definitely be some Debbie downers. All in all, we had a nice experience and enjoyed the food. Ihop who?? Lol will def be back!!!“

“The best! Great food and service. They are always taking extra steps to make sure we are satisfied“

“I’m absolutely thrilled that St. Pete now boasts a breakfast spot with convenient parking and exceptional food! The outdoor seating is particularly wonderful, especially when dining with kids. The French Connection is a standout – their French toast is both incredibly fresh and satisfying. What truly sets this place apart for me is the outstanding staff. They treat my son like family, particularly Val and Brandon, whom I always request. It’s heartwarming when they inquire about my family, remember my favorite dishes, and take the time to brighten my son’s day with extra smiles. Their genuine care means the world to us. While you can find pancakes anywhere, the genuine friendship they extend to my son is truly unique to this place. Thank you for employing such exceptional individuals. And let’s not forget to mention, they serve the best lattes in town!“

It is nice to have friendly service while enjoying the view of the boats as they move through the inlet.“

“My husband and I LOVE River Rock's outdoor dining. We enjoy seeing the boats coming and going while we eat. The Manasquan River is a beautiful sight. Any food items that we have ordered are delicious. Lauren Guenther is one of our favorite servers. She's a sweetheart. She's very friendly, personable, and very focused on what she's doing. We know Lauren from when she served at Carrabba's. She was very special to us back then as she is now. Being local residents, we visit River Rock frequently during the summer and we will ALWAYS request either Lauren or Kelsey Conover because we simply adore them both. River Rock is our outdoor Happy Place during the summer. 💗💗“

“Love this place! Always come here with my family! The waiters/waitresses (especially Patrick) are always very kind! I always get the Royal Red Robin! It is amazing. But the only problem is that the yolk is always kinda runny. But other than that, everything else is perfect!“

“The food was delicious, featuring an assortment of teas and coffee options. I enjoyed the Huevos Ranchero bowl, and we also shared the Great Pumpkin Pancake special, which was truly outstanding. Although this is not my first visit, I can confidently say that I have never had a bad experience here. The quality of the food is complemented by excellent service, an appealing menu, and a pleasant atmosphere.“

“I highly recommend 801 Craft! From the food to the staff to the atmosphere, dining here is a most enjoyable experience. Eating out can be a challenge for me because of my many food sensitivities and I really appreciate the staff and the chef being willing to accommodate me. The cocktails are tasty as well!“

“A very good place for American food!
The portions are huge, the staff very friendly and the ambience is great!
Located directly on the beach with great seating options!
I will definitely be back!
Thank you very much!“

“I was attending a wedding in Lakewood, NJ. There are surprisingly very few hotels nearby there that aren't on the shore. I had in the past stayed at a Ramada in Toms River, but I learned that it had been sold and turned into an office building. For some reason, Lakewood has very few hotels. I had stayed at one of the only other nearby hotels, a Hilton, but it is overpriced. I saw the Days Hotel, and it got good reviews. The bride's grandmother told me a friend had stayed there and had given a good report, so I booked a reservation. The Days Hotel Toms River was a pleasant surprise. It was the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in! No dirt, no signs of bugs. no stains in the bathtub! No cracked tiles or mismatched wallpaper. And I asked for maid service after the first night, and they gave it to me, complete with all fresh towels, bedding, and amenities, made the bed, vacuumed, and cleaned the coffee area, even not waiting until late in the afternoon, as some hotels do. And it looked like the hotel had just been redecorated. Not 1950s dreary with holes in the carpet and broken tiles in the bathroom. Very tasteful with light, simple colors: just the way I like it. The hotel was very quiet, no rowdy guests, and it was set back from the highway, so no road noise, as well. And a big parking lot in front (free) with no driving around and around for a space, even after I returned from the wedding late at night. And it is conveniently located to the main streets leading to Lakewood, which was important to me. Staff was nice, and there were two computers in the lobby with Internet + a printer for guests to use. It's a four-story hotel, and I had a room on the top floor, which I had requested. I had noticed before I left that the room rate (AAA - two double beds) since I made the reservation had gone down. I pointed that out when I checked in, and the agent behind the desk matched that rate. And there was always someone behind the desk, regardless of time of day. And they answered the phone!! There was a restaurant in the hotel that I didn't use, but they were very nice and gave me plastic silverware and disposable dishes so I could eat in my room the special-diet food I had brought. The room also had a large mini-fridge (that functioned well!) So overall I would say it was much better even than staying at the old Ramada. And better than the Hilton. at a much lower price. And 1, 000 times better than an old Best Western I stayed in once, which apparently is also kaput. Only complaint was that one of only two elevators was out of order, and it wasn't fixed the whole time I was there (3 days, 2 nights). But there usually wasn’t a wait for the other elevator.“

“My husband just stopped and got a PIG OUT Ribs , brisket , pulled pork+chicken, So much food will be having it for 2 more meals. Excellent smoke, ribs melt in your mouth, Hushpuppies like crunchy little bites of Southern Sunshine...the coleslaw fresh and the Cornbread should be listed inder deserts it's so sweet and moist. I would give them 7 stars if possible.“
