New American Restaurants near Riverside, NJ

“My wife and I stopped in for breakfast and had a really good time. The food was great, the hostess/waitress was fun and personable, and it's great to see her interaction with the regulars. The restaurant decor is a little dated, but it fits the feel and the food and I wouldn't change hardly a thing. This is the diner we've been missing since moving to New Jersey.“

“We took dear friends out for their 60th anniversary. Everything was terrific from the time we walked in and they placed a "Happy Anniversary" sign on our table to the very end. Terrific servers and we all thought our meals were delicious. Can't wait to return.“

“Had a great time here on a Thursday Happy Hour (4-6). Live music started around 5. 10$ mixed drinks, 6$ craft beer, and 8$ wine. The calamari and burrata were delicious. The wagyu sliders were also spot on. Huge bar, and friendly bartenders, we'll be back“

“Wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. Seafood tower the best part of this $300 meal for 3. Their mussels were good, but had better. Their red fish was delicious. Their keylime pie went in the garbage. Our salads came after the meal, Ceasars with bread crumbs no croutons and definitely no anchovy, which i find odd for a seafood place. I dine out quite a bit, this was mediocre at best. Wont be going back. Would consider it if they had a liquor license just for the tower.“

“We just celebrated my birthday with friends there tonight and LOVED it!! Noah, our server, was absolutely fantastic! The food, delish!! The inside was gorgeous! We live an hour away and will come back!!! Highly recommend!!“

“Great service! Great Food! Wonderful service! My daughter and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Such a friendly and kind staff! If you need a bite to eat in a relaxing atmosphere, check it out!“

“Ordered a chicken pesto Stromboli and one of the reasons was the sun dried tomato’s. Unfortunately it came with regular tomatoes which made it watery. Sun-dried tomatoes are more expensive than plum tomatoes and the flavor is very different.if they were not available the server should have mentioned and the price should reflect the difference. Very disappointed and only had a couple bites.“

“Celebrated my Birthday brunch today at Versi Vino and everything was phenomenal. From our server Brandon to Nick the Executive Chef and Eric it could not have been better. The brunch menu was some of the best food we have ever had. We are already planning our next trip there for dinner. Thank you all for making my Birthday extra special.“

“The fried chicken sandwich is awesome. The chicken is juicy and not dry, and the meat is very thick. This is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The dining environment is also very clean and tidy, and the restaurant staff are also friendly.“

“What a sensational dining experience! We loved every course we had; a unique caesar salad (with grilled broccolini and fennel!), the "world's best hotdog" (a wagyu hotdog on a delicious buttery roll which truly was the world's best hotdog), truffle gnocchi mac 'n cheese, roasted peach confit duck, and barbecued chili lime pork. The S'mores cookie pie dessert was simply amazing! Service was exceptional (Kyle was the ideal server! polite, friendly, gracious and attentive - thank you so much). The staff is welcoming, the dining room is small and cozy, and everything about this local spot is charming. We will return for sure.“

“I grew up on homemade Middle Eastern food made daily by my parents, so I’m very picky when it comes to authenticity. I’ve tried a few places that just didn’t hit the mark—but AL SHAM in Chalfont is a straight 10/10!! They serve real Arabic bread (pita)—not tortillas disguised as pita like you find at other places—and their homemade Lebanese toum (garlic aioli) is the real deal. One bite of their falafel wrap instantly transported me to a boardwalk in Lebanon, overlooking the Mediterranean—complete with fresh bread, Lebanese pickles, and those perfect pickled turnips. The meat is 100% Halal and you can taste the quality. Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. **This is the kind of spot you want to support. We’ll be back again and again—do yourself a favor and try them ASAP**“

“Food was delicious and the portion sizes were great!“

“My first time here and I was blown away! The staff was awesome. Samuel, our server, was amazing. The food was tremendous: breads-n-spreads, beet salad, butter chicken. The dessert banana tres leches was incredible. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Yes, but make sure they get your order right, visited today for the first time in a while. My order (Stromboli) wasn’t correct but was acceptable…wife got a club, dry turkey and unevenly made. Manager took $4 off my Stromboli. Service was ok, we left disappointed in the food but not hungry…will be a while before we go back for another visit.“

A great place for a date night or special event.

Planning everything with them was so simple and enjoyable. Every request was met with a yes. Even our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the space, food, and staff. We can’t thank everyone at Hearthside enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!“

“Food was good. Atmosphere was nice for a visiting out-of-state police officer. Company stor offers a lot of Philly PD swag. Very "safe" environment. Will visit again the next time in town. Recommended for LEOs to add it to your list if in the area.“

“Ordered a quart of chicken orzo soup just before closing.When I picked up the order the owner jested that he has something else for me.They gave a second quart of chicken orzo soup and an additional quart of manhattan clam chowder all for the price of one quart of chicken orzo.Thank You very much!“

“so when you go 2x in a week, order burgers with sweet potatoe fries and get regular fries 2x, what is the problem? one server apologized the 1st night. 2nd one doesn't. burger of the month one for 4th and it looks nothing like the one listed. like it looked like a mickey d's special. asked for medium well and got Burnt. yum“

“Awesome place. Brunch was amazing“

“I had lunch yesterday with two friends. it's been ages since we've seen each other and it was a wonderful time. one gal had breakfast, one had a pasta and salmon dish and I had the chicken Waldorf. Each of us had nothing but great things to say. my Chicken salad in particular was perfectly chopped and the cranberry, nut and seasonings were delightful! Our server was attentive and yet let us talk and babble on. we were never rushed or hurried along. Did I mention how delicious the Sandwich (and fries) were??😍“

“Great staff and delicious food!! Clean and friendly atmosphere!!“

“Wings To Go of Philadelphia classic there's only a few left the wings are fried hard here the sauces are amazing the owners and older guys had it for a long time he's super nice and makes you anything I love this place it's tradition for me“

“I used to come here with my mom and brother back in the '90s, and the food was fantastic and the service was excellent. I haven't been here in years, but I ride by there a lot and it doesn't seem the same as it used to, but because of the nostalgia, it'll always have a special place in my heart“

“I was having the hardest time finding somewhere with Eggs Benedict at 2pm. I told them I had little time and they got me seated and a waitress over to order immediately. Food came quick! The restaurant is clean and well kept. The staff were wonderful. The food was AWESOME. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a better eggs benedict . The servings are huge, I got a jersey boy with spinach and there was a ton of pork roll and spinach on it. Home fries were crispy. Adding this to the top of the breakfast spot list!“

“We had dinner here for the first time on Sat, 11/12/22–what a wonderful experience! The staff was friendly and very helpful. We had muscles for our appetizer that were fresh and very tasty. We each had different entrees, one the salmon dish and the other chicken—both were amazing, with each of us saying we’d order our meal again or try the other one next time. Then dessert: one had the s’mores dessert and the other the chocolate bread pudding—we didn’t think we’d have room, but we made room, because both were excellent! Plus the chef said he’d be changing the menu every week—we can’t wait to go back!“

“Hands down my favorite restaurant by far. Everything is so well crafted, even down to the sconces on the walls, and you can taste the passion Chef Phil brings to his dishes; quickly followed by the pristine service by Josh. I can’t say enough good things about Park Place, but what I can say is that I will be going here every chance I get. Every experience at Park Place is exceptional. As a Pinelands employee, advocate, and lover, Park Place nurtures an appreciation for foraged ingredients not just from NJ but other areas that are special to Phil. Thank you for changing my perspective on food to value a great meal and nature even more than I already do, Phil and Josh. I’m so happy I was welcomed to your table for an extraordinary night out every time I get the opportunity to go to Park Place!

“The Pines is our favorite place to land after work, or weekday lunch, or game day! The food is fantastic and the excellent servers make every visit that much more fun. Occasional live music is a bonus!“

“The roasted turkey & avocado club sandwich is one of my fav sandwiches I’ve had! Anytime I come to the mall, I come here to get one. It’s consistently good - crunchy, flavorful and perfect amount of each ingredient.Allan was our server today and he was very attentive and kind. He even gave us some bread and butter to start off with. Yummy!“

“food is great. and the bartenders are awesome and super attentive. HOWEVER for the love of god, please get air conditioning. I know it's July and we're in the midst of a heat wave but it shouldn't only be 2 degrees cooler in a bar than it is outside. other than that, it's a super fun time. highly recommend“

“My fav spot, great for everyone. I always recommend. ♡“

“The vibe and the people were just awesome for a Wednesday night. On Wednesday they started Latina night $5 margaritas. I tasted the drink and Alma is spectacular at mixing drinks. The music is banging and dancing is non stop. The kitchen is open and Chef Christian is an artist with his menu. You will definitely feel like you are eating at a 5 star restaurant.“

“They have fun events during the week. Also a nice place to hang the staff is nice“

“Under new management but still welcoming! My family has been patronizing Kasdon’s since 1972. We have never been disappointed w/ the menu, staff or atmosphere. [Love the staff] It’s still our go to place when we’re looking for a comfortable place for a bite or takeout. [Try the pizza] Even though it is under new management it still has maintained that atmosphere that makes you feel welcome anytime you walk in.“

“Had a quick bite with my fiancé and the food was delicious! Bartender was friendly and the the food came out fast! We will definitely be back.“

“First time I’ve ever been here. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. That was one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had! The taste was out of this world. Even the bun was incredible. I live in another county but this diner is worth another drive up! Absolutely five stars!“
