50 Best American Restaurants near Rio Grande

“We had a great breakfast and an awesome waiter Angelo!!“

“We love coming here for our weekly night out. Matt (bartender) always knows what we want to drink and is always asking how things are going. It’s our friendly neighborhood place that we need our weekly dose of if not more.“

“Im telling you this place is outstanding!! I had lived in Philly and been to Pats and Geno's in South Philly among many others. Alfredo's, Claudio's, Jersey Mike's, Erma Deli and so on. This place is so good, that I challenge anyone to try it and if you don't think they have the Best Cheese Steaks you have ever had, I will pay for yours. Whoever owns this place has a gold mine. They should give samples at places like Walmart, ShopRite, etc and their business will boom. Hands down the best food I've ever had from a sandwich shop. Heck, from anywhere. The girl at the counter , Clara was so nice. I went in there 15 minutes before closing and they turned the oven and grill on to make what I ordered. Then I told her to wave at me in the truck parked right out front when it was ready and I would come in and get it , then all the sudden, here she comes running out with my order. Incredible place and the only one I will go to for sandwiches ever again!! Great food, service and atmosphere!“

“We dined on Friday, 10.31.25 supporting the Cape May Restaurant Weekend. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Red Snapper Alla Plancha that was impeccably simmered in a tomato-saffron cream sauce along with the delectable additions of mussels, rock shrimp, creamer potatoes and confit fennel. I had the wonderful opportunity to sample the Grilled Duroc Pork Chop with aged gouda potato purée, ginger glazed vegetables, sherry wine cream sauce and seasonal mostarda that was done to absolute perfection. I haven't cleaned my plate like that for years! My wife echoed that it was one of the top three dinners that we have ever had as a couple....Our service was second to none from the expediters, bussers and our very warm and personable server, Anna, who just added to the overall dining experience. A five star event for sure!“

“This place is the real deal. The food was fantastic, the decor/environment was perfect for the beach. Our family cannot wait to return next year! I wish it was in my town! The staff was outstanding. The table we sat at was a shadow box type,it had shells and things for the kids (and us adults) to look at during our very short wait for food. 10/10.“

“I have used Lucky Bones’s Eric three times in the last five years for catering parties at my home/in my yard. Twice I also booked waitresses with my party. The food is always delicious, the service reliable. We ran out of chicken tenders for the kids once and they brought over a new batch! Everything is set up as ordered and arrives on time. You can’t go wrong with them for your party. My father’s small after-funeral reception was in their back room and my husband and I eat at the restaurant at least once a month. Highly recommend.“

“Always go when in Cape May…fabulous food“

“our server, jennifer, was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, efficient and one of the best servers i ever had. Sean, the manager and sommelier was so knowledgeable about wine and gave us great a recommendation on an exquisite bottle of wine, which paired perfectly with our dinner. this restaurant surpassed our expectations“

“Thank you for an amazing memorable birthday dinner. A true gem of Stone Harbor.“

“The best Beet Reuben sandwich!!! It might be the best sandwich I have eaten in Cape May ever! Thank you!!’“

“First time in cricket club. Bar has nice vibe they were busy and the bartender was attentive. We all enjoyed our meals and desserts. Service was excellent never waited for our next dish. Will definitely be eating here again.“

“We’ve been a few times, and the food is consistently good.“

“Excellent!! Our only disappointment is that we just discovered this Wildwood gem after coming here for years. Everything was fantastic & the staff were all awesome! The live music was the icing on the cake. Fantastic!“

“Great food and a beautiful setting to enjoy it!!!“

“Hands down one of the best meals and dining experiences my wife and I have ever had. Everything about The Ebbit Room was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish.

We started with the octopus and the carpaccio—the carpaccio was honestly the best I’ve ever had. For dinner, my wife had the lamb, perfectly cooked, and April recommended the John Dory, which was prepared immaculately.

The flavor profiles were incredible, each dish beautifully presented, and every course, from appetizers to dinner to dessert, was thoughtfully crafted and tasted amazing.

An unforgettable experience all around.“

“Beautiful view! Spacious rooms. Beach access. Pool. Restaurant on site. Parking. Friendly staff. We are having a great time!😊“

“We had a great time at Stowaways. Pat was the best!“

“We were drawn to this place because it seemed like a “real” restaurant rather a showplace for the latest trends. And it’s true! There are no “apps” here, and no “handhelds.”” It’s not fancy in the least, though the atmosphere is colorful and relaxing. The food’s not fancy either; instead, it’s simple, extremely plentiful and delicious. It was refreshing to be there!“

“Such an amazing experience! The cheesesteak,sausage & peppers, gyro, and funnel cake were absolutely delicious, but the hospitality made it even better. Everyone was so kind and welcoming…Truly one of the best memories from our New Jersey boardwalk vacation. We’ll definitely be back!“

“BELL'S,,love your food,after 5 yrs of going there,,had a burger,, phenomenal 🤘,,3 weeks in a row,,today,,STICKER SHOCK 😆,well worth it though,,,please don't D.O.G.E. the burgers,, their perfect,,as is the entire menu,,“

“Smashing good burgers! I tried the Cowboy Smash Burger (BBQ Sauce, Cheddar, Onion Ring & Fried Pickles} and it was absolutely delicious! Portions were overly generous and the milkshake really topped it off! (CMCH)“

“Thought I would try an upscale dish (since they were offering it) to see how a Boardwalk Restauranteur would perform. I ordered the Shrimp Pasta with Marinara. Needless to say, I was "Stunned"! This is a favorite dish of mine and I usually reserve ordering it to finer esoteric Bistros and Trattorias I frequent. Yes, I dare say it, BOLDLY that the Chef Olympic Flame not only went "toe to toe" with the finer eateries I am familiar with but actually bettered the lot of 'em!! After this most satisfying experience, I was desperate to meet the Chef behind this most Perfect Pasta dish. The waitstaff directed me to the Chef, who was extremely appreciative when I explained the aforementioned to him. Anyone out there visiting the Jersey Shore and wants to have a truly "Unique" dining experience, I strongly recommend ordering the Shrimp Pasta (or any Pasta Course) "The" Olympic Flame Restaurant. You Will Not Be Disappointed!!“

“If you're down in Wildwood Crest and you're looking for something to hit the spot for breakfast, lunch or a late night snack then I've got just the spot, well then Sun Of A Beach This Place Is For YOU! The girls at the counter were so professional and polite. Shane could not have been nicer, and made sure everything was exactly what we ordered and our breakfast was dynamite! We'll definitely be stopping back for some ice cream or milkshakes. 10/10 would highly recommend!“

“The Water Star Grille is the outdoor restaurant on the bay at the Reeds in stone Harbor. The food is expensive, but that comes with the territory. Our server was very pleasant and the quality of all the food we ordered was great. I was disappointed that you only get 6 oyster half shells for $28.....but I should have asked about quantity before ordering. I am pretty sure that I have never only received 6 oysters when ordering an iced tray of oysters before. The reason to go here for dinner is the view of the sunset over the bay for dinner outside on a beautiful summer day.“

“Tried the Jake's famous pork sandwich.
Asked the lady behind the counter if it was sharp provolone and she said it was but once I tried it, it was not sharp at all. Ok no big deal but took a star from the service.
The pork is good but slightly over chopped, The broccoli rabbe was just balanced but not sauteed.
Nonetheless, the sandwich was tasty.“

“The cleanliness, fast service, excellent staff from front to back, food, and prices are quite excellent. We’ve been going to this particular Hotspot for many years and I don’t ever recall anything that we ever received being anything but excellent. I highly recommend. Some of the reviews on here I find just simply mean spirited.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“amazing food at a fair price. owners are awesome! the overall experience is great!“

“Food is great, awesome salad bar and amazing service“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’re locals and chose Sax at the Reeds to celebrate our anniversary on a Tuesday night in September. Since many of the local steakhouses were closed, we decided to give Sax a try — and we’re so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming. Our server, Patrick, was absolutely outstanding. He was attentive, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, and even made something as simple as choosing a steak knife a fun and memorable experience. He explained where the knives came from, what they were made of, and offered his favorite — such a unique touch! The food was just as impressive. I went with a mix of apps and a salad — the shrimp cocktail (huge shrimp!), perfectly seared local scallops (I was expecting three and got closer to eight!), and the truffle cheese burrata salad, which was loaded with heirloom tomatoes, arugula, basil, balsamic reduction, sea salt, and basil oil. Everything was fresh and delicious. My husband had the New York Strip with truffle fries and grilled asparagus — a perfectly cooked, hearty steak that left him very satisfied. We left completely full and so happy with our experience. Sax exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors looking for a special dinner spot!“

“We were down the past couple of weekends in North Wildwood, stopped at one of our favorites and got great-sized Maryland crabs the one weekend and, then, last night some clams & lobster tails. Always a pleasure seeing the staff. Always fast & friendly“

“First and last stop at wildwood every year !“

“WoW WoW WoW ! Today was my first time dining here and it certainly won’t be my last. Everything was incredible. Shrimp tempura for a starter and it was outstanding. The salmon dish was out of this world and like no other salmon entrée I have ever had. You will not be disappointed and the service was top notch! Well Done jays on third“

“5 stars! The food is cooked well and seasoned perfectly. Had a quesadilla last night and had to come again for the tacos! Very friendly staff and cute atmosphere. They have lots of drink choices and cheap prices. Family friendly and they bring the food out so fast I was impressed. Definitely the best authentic Mexican in the area!“

“Obsesseddd with the seafood carbonara, Green bean fries, southwestern wrap, bang bang shrimp, etc. 🤤“

“Had the Philly wrap it was amazing great customer service on a very busy night“
