New American Restaurants near Pompton Lakes, NJ

“I was craving some roasted chicken, so I ended up here for the first time. It definitely fulfilled my craving. The chicken was very juicy and flavorful. Not dry at all. The sides I got were also very delicious.Heck, my only complaint is to myself for deciding to buy a quarter chicken instead of half. I wanted more by the time I was done.Friendly staff and clean also.I will definitely be back here to try out some other menu items. I highly recommend this place.“

“Adam Weiss's talents shine through in every dish on his menu. The combination flavors and unique preparations keep us coming back time after time. Tonight's carrot soup special and arctic char were simply amazing. Adam's cheesecake is still my hands down favorite ever. Hedy is the perfect hostess- we should all have a Mom like her in our corner! So grateful to have this gem in our backyard.“

“The food was good, I ordered just a waffle and bacon recently, but unfortunately, the TV was tuned to Newsmax and I was told "it couldn't be changed". Now that I know the extreme political views of those in charge, I won't be spending any more of my money there. Nor will I recommend the Lakeside Diner any more. Too bad, it used to be such a nice place.“

“Let me start off by saying I grew up in Philadelphia and ate cheesesteaks regularly ever since I was quite young. I know these folks here are known for their “best of NJ” Taylor Ham ;not pork roll ( almost forgot where I was) and cheese. I’ve had it here before and I do believe it is incredible and stands up to the claims. However… the cheesesteak they make here may not be getting enough love. You should consider it and understand that it could put up a fight with some of the best in Philly. 10/10. Would order again, and again … and again. Also, the guys here are great to chat with.“

“The Smoke Rise inn is the neighborhood's best kept secret This charming building has as much history as it does ambiance It is believed to be a private establishment due to it being behind the Smoke rise community gates but it is open to the public When you walk into the bar area you can't help feeling like you are walking into the tv show cheers Everyone does know your name or will by the time you leave The staff and the usual patrons are extremely friendly and love meeting new folks The bar room is charming with stone and wood walls and a cozy fireplace on the upper seating area There is dining in the gazebo room which is equally as lovely and a bit quieter The food is delicious and the drinks are quite generous The Inn can also accommodate weddings in their ballroom or private parties So if you haven't checked out this fabulous eatery come drop in but make sure you make a reservation on the weekend“

“New contemporary restaurant with great menu. I stopped in for lunch and had a really good chicken sandwich. Chicken cutlet was fresh, juicy and crispy on a toasted pita with crispy prosciutto , lettuce and tomato and mozzarella. French fries were also fresh and crispy. Also tried an eggplant on focaccia with roasted red peppers and was also very delicious. Everything on the menu sounds good and I might have to go back for the hanger steak. Lots of seating , big bar , lots of TVs. I was there on a Saturday and they only had one waitress waiting on like 4 tables and 6 people at the bar which was fine because we weren’t in a hurry but I could see it getting crazy.“

“Good food, nothing overly special but solid good bar foodConvenient locationQuick serviceThe sweet potato fries and the vampire tacos were the highlight in my eyesDefinitely recommend especially if you are in the area for a movie night to grab some food before/after“

“J&M Grill makes delicious burgers and soups! They are always so fresh and they take the time to make the burger the way you like it. The soups and chili in the winter are so good to warm you up! The staff is super nice and super quick service!“

“I like Maggie’s now. They’ve updated the menu. I got the ginger sesame orange salad it was delicious. Next time I won’t get shrimp on it because it was too big. I thought it would be popcorn shrimp. I do like the option of adding protein like chicken. The place is always packed and very loud though. Don’t get the fish and chips, not great. Probably better for takeout.Dietary restrictions: They make changes to your order if you request it.“

“The manager and the staff were super accommodating to our party who came last minute without a reservation. The entire place was extremely nice, and the whole experience was super affordable as well. We stayed there as long as our party needed, and everyone was so kind and hospitable.Parking: There is a parking lot that is on the block around the corner however, you just have to search for it because they sure a lot with another facility“

“Plan B is Suffern's (and neighboring towns) local watering hole. The food is surprisingly awesome, and the drinks are always cold and delicious. Brandi, Kev, Tiff, Will know what the hell they're doing. And Carlos chefs it up with the best of them in the back. So B COOL or B GONE :) ..I also hear the boys are back in town often at this joint.. but you didn't hear it from me..“

“Jimmy and Bernice work the wee hours of the morning to make everything fresh every day. From the Friday corn beef hash for breakfast ( sells out early) to the best fresh burgers. Homemade soups. While I worked in the area I ate lunch there every day for about 40 years. Miss eating there they made you feel like family.“

“We joined some family* here for lunch today. The bldg and the grounds were lovely looking. The inside has both banquet rooms for private events as well as a family feel bar and dining area. We were seated right away and the server was very prompt and friendly. Menu although not that large had a good variety. From appetizers and soups to full on entrees there was plenty to choose from. They had several specials to offer today. They are known for the burgers apparently. My aunt and husband both had the Swiss Mountain Burger. Both enjoyed them. Although the cooking between them was a bit different. My husband's was a bit pink IMO but he likes rare so didn't really care. My daughter enjoyed the penne and meatballs from the dedicated kids menu. It came with a drink and dessert. The portion was hearty and she loved the meatball! Dinner rolls on the table were amazing. Mini chibatta style that were crusty in the outside and soft and chewy in the inside. My uncle had the chicken cashew salad. Large salad although looked like only iceberg as the base. Overall filled with plenty of toppings. I enjoyed one of the salmon specials for today. I chose the grilled lemon pepper salmon. All entrees like this are served with either rice or potato and veggies. I had mashed which were very creamy and flavorful. The salmon had good flavor but IMO was cooked just a little too long. It was flaky but the edges seemed a little dry. Overall I'd recommend it but suggest asking for a medium cook. They offered a dessert menu although everyone was full and decided on just some specialty coffee. Most dishes were in the $15-25 range. Overall I'd recommend giving it a try. *Sorry for the lack of pics we were so excited to see our out of town family that I totally forgot!“

“A very interesting historic building with charming decor. Its a small menu, but the food was generally good. They also had some interesting beers on tap. The bakery items are very tasty. The staff were friendly but they definitely want you out when you're done. Not a place to hang out.Food & drinks: We didn't stay in the hotel and went for dinner.“

“Been here twice now and both times the food has been great. We were walk-ins both times so we sat at the bar (which is full service). The cocktails were delicious when we tried them on our second visit. This place is above my normal eating out budget but it’s well worth the money. Just remember to bring a couple bucks to tip the valet workers in the parking lot.“
