New American Restaurants near South Amboy, NJ

“Garlic wings are the bomb, macaroni and cheese, etc. onion rings what else can you say ..and everything’s always perfectly cooked and on time!“

“Rarely do I feel inspired to 5/5 a place but this is a magical spot to hang out. DJ Davis G spins the best music creating incredible vibes you cannot miss. The servers working are attentive and friendly. All of this is a 10/10, but I need to talk about the food. The wings at this spot are by far the best wings you will ever have in your entire life. When you are listening to some of the best songs you ever heard, while receiving the best service you have ever had the pleasure of receiving, you will be sitting down eating the best wings you have ever had in your entire life. These wings changed my life. I have a new answer to my "what would your last meal be" answer after consuming the wings at this pub. Nothing will ever replace how I felt when I was at this special pub. Cannot recommend more.“

“Great date spot. Food is good, drink are on point and the atmosphere is perfect.“

“Brent was our server and he was awesome. We had a family friend from out of the country with us and we knew we'd get good service and good food but appreciated Brent's attentiveness. Noise was a lot for my older folks but a Saturday night it was hopping so it can't be a complaint when business is good.“

“This is hands down the best restaurant in NJ right now. The 8 course tasting menu is phenomenal, each dish balanced with unique flavors and texture, and beautiful plated. Our server explained each dish in detail, was extremely knowledgeable of the ingredients and dishes, and very friendly. He consistently topped off our drinks as needed and meticulously provided a new place setting for each course. The ambiance was very relaxing as we sat on the 2nd floor, with beautiful hip, modern decor. I was particularly intrigued by the faucet in the bathroom which was very unique. The overall attention to detail from the concept and design to the food and service is what sets it apart. Fine dining at its best with a relaxed atmosphere that easily compares to a Michelin star restaurant.

Free on site parking is available and it is a BYOB. A liquor store is conveniently located next door in case you forget to bring your libations.“

“food was delicious, serving e was superb“

“Beautiful atmosphere friendly wait staff delicious appetizers and even better main course next up vanilla crème brûlée“

“From the moment Drew opened his doors in his original location we quickly became fans. This creative Chef who works magic with food has turned Drew’s Bayshore Bistro into one of the most popular restaurants to eat at. People come from all over to enjoy and will take any time slot available to do so. We have eaten here more times than I can count and have had many group dinners and celebrations. Drew’s new location is beyond beautiful and only a stone’s throw from his prior place. We just love the feel of the new home and the beautiful ambiance. it’s absolutely gorgeous from street view and fits perfectly into Keyport’s historic vibe. The food is also over the top insanely incredible. Oh yes I have favorites. The scallops are perfectly sautéed, tender juicy and was served with pesto risotto. A true explosion of flavor. Broiled oysters are one of the most incredible thing I’ve ever tasted and honestly could eat two portions for my main, but haven’t done that yet as there are so many things to try. Pork chops, steaks, soft shell crabs, voodoo shrimp, homemade ice cream and all his special makes it hard to choose what to order. Incredible list of specials are always offered. Menu changes for seasonal favorites. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I look at the menu. We are very thankful to Drew for sharing his vision and providing all of us with a delectable dinning experience each time we eat here. Five stars are not enough!“

“The best dinner ever from apps to dessert! Thanks to our server Alex who made it even more enjoyable! She was great“

“I would give it a 5 star if the food was bomb but it is good. I am vegan so only judging on that and thus far tried their vegan menu and it is not disappointing. Finally, a place where the drinks 🍹 taste good and proportioned well. I would recommend this place but the only thing on weekdays they run out of stuff which is ok but, call and make sure. I like this place so I will keep coming back…and the service is good.“

“Great service every time I’ve been there“

“Outstanding craft cocktails and delicious food! I only wish I had found them on my first night in Rahway rather than my last. I would have been here every night…“

“Great pizza store One of staten island best Pizza store They were getting ready to close I came in and asked for 2 slices of pizza and they were willing to make a pie so I can get 2 slices of pizza I bought the whole pie because of their willingness to make a low for 2 slices when they were getting ready to close Great job kingdom cafe Will be back again“

“One of, if not, the best place to go In the neighborhood. Fantastic bartenders, who know your name, what you drink and if not they always have a welcoming face…. Soups are great!, meals better, Thursday night Prime Rib night. Never a bad day to go except Mondays… and that’s because they are closed. Don’t forget a visit for St. Patrick’s Day!!!!“

Phil and Pedro were an amazing team. They organized our checks by family and all of our food came out hot, fast and delicious. So very thankful for this option in the area!“

“Good ribeye sandwich and good service“

“Last week, I was in Plainfield helping a friend with his stalled car when I had a quick interaction with one of the staff members (possibly the owner or manager), and I could immediately tell this place is run by great people. Their kindness really stood out—not only in the way they treated us but also in their generosity. It’s clear they truly care about their customers, and that kind of hospitality is rare to find these days.

My girlfriend and I decided to grab something to eat, and I’m so glad we did. We had the ribeye steak sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing! The steak was grilled perfectly, the hoagie roll was fresh, and the flavors all came together perfectly. It was exactly what we needed after a long day. The welcoming atmosphere and great food made this a memorable experience, and we’re already planning another trip to try more of their menu. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the area!“

“Got married in Vegas then threw a celebration with family & friends. Couldn’t have been more perfect 💕👍🏻“

“we had a wonderful bridal shower for my daughter. food was great as well as service! thanks to everyone for making her day special!“

“Great burgers at a great price. Make sure you always look for the burger of the month. It always rotate monthly. Once you order, they bring the food to your table and clean up after you leave. They have 2 types of ketchup: regular and jalapenos. The small fry is very filling for me. I was debating between a regular and small and decided with the small.

Next time I want to try the milkshakes as everyone who ordered there got one and it looked delicious.“

“This place is excellent! I got a slice of the lamb gyro pizza and it was delicious. And, the environment was so homely, warm, and welcoming. The owner was very kind and his children were very friendly. I definitely recommend this place for both its food and service!“

“Their jerk turkey wings are the absolute best.“

“My Wife & I dined at Orchard Park on Friday Evening, she had the Chicken, I had the Filet, both were outstanding. More outstanding was Evan our server. In all our years we've never had a better server ANYWHERE. His knowledge of the food served at Orchard Park and the differences and similarities of Chef David Burke's other restaurants was very informative. Evan offered some suggestions/alternates for some items on the menu that my Wife was unsure about and his suggestions were perfect and just what she was looking for. His tableside presentation of our meal included putting the finishing touches on the Clothesline Bacon right in front of us was a real treat. Evan made sure that our glasses were never empty and and that at no time were we unsatisfied with our dining experience. His Service was A++ and they have a real Gem with him on their roster. We will be requesting to sit in his section on our next visit to Orchard Park.“

“I recently had my husband’s retirement party there and am very happy. Everyone raved over the delicious food and how beautiful the space was. I worked with Angeliki throughout the planning process and she was very responsive and easy to work with.“

“Just wanted to shout out our server Liz who was absolutely amazing!! Came to dinner for a birthday with 18 people and she went above and beyond as a server while having other tables along side of our big one!! We will come back to see her soon!!“

“Have been getting Better as a healthy pleasure for about the last year now and was surprised to see such low reviews. The cost is a bit pricey, but that should be expected going in. Have you seen the cost to quantity/quality ratio at chipotle recently? Just wanted to share what's a very healthy and enjoyable lunch/dinner for $15.“

“My hubs & I went here b/c I bought a Groupon for it. I was dismayed by 2 of the 3 reviews I read online; however, we were pleasntly surprized. Nice atmosphere, not noisy, attentive service. We both got meat since it was a steakhouse. Hubs got filet mignon; I got rib steak. Tasty and presented nicely. White tablecloths cinched a pleasant nite out. only 4 stars b/c I thought it was a bit expensive if we did not have the groupon.... I think we might return....“

“I love this place.... they are very friendly & the food is delicious.“

“Mike & Leo do a great job providing food delivery with perfection. The food, serving & staff are great but to even have the delivery crew match that is such a breath of fresh air! Clean and spacious store front, highly recommend if in the Travis area.“

“I’ve been going to W’s for years now. The burgers and wings are off the hook good. The waitress can’t do enough for you. Great restaurant to take the family to eat and also a friendly bar to watch sports. Very reasonable priced. You definitely won’t go hungry or thirsty at W’s. Well worth trying out. Your first time will not be your last.“

“We had a nice time celebrating my son's surprise 21st birthday at Grillestone. Jose and staff were all very nice and easy to work with and they even helped pull off the surprise. Since it was a 21st Birthday, I wanted to keep it casual and wanted food that my son enjoys when hanhing out. Jose was accommodating and I ordered all different appetizers as the meal. We had plenty of food and it came out all night long as discussed just needed a little bread in between (lol) and we even had leftovers to take home as well. We had a variety of pizza, fried calamari, avacado toast, wings, mac & cheese, nachos, sliders & fries, quesadilla & Ceasar Salad, Great staff, food, drinks all night long. The only thing missing was the band/ DJ but the weather didn't cooperate that night. Thanks again and we look forward in coming back!!!“
