New American Restaurants near Spotswood, NJ

“If you want good,authentic Greek without needing to go to a "high end" restaurant with "high end" pricing you found it! Jimmy's has always been consistently excellent with the food they have served me and my family. The service is fast and attentive and they do a good job making you feel welcome. The restaurant is nestled in a strip mall and when inside it is nicely decorated and comfortable. The Gyro platters and Mixed Grill platter are extremely good and the portion sizes are nice as well. The Lemon Potatoes are cooked perfectly and are addicting. My favorite side dish and if they come with the meals even better. The spinach rice is also highly recommended if you choose that as your side or have it with your meal. Always go back to this place as I haven't found a Greek restaurant close to them in the area.“

“A great night at 618! The perfect spot for a girls night. Joe N was awesome and gave us great recommendations with a big smile always. Patti was also a great addition and added some laughter to our night. Will definitely be back soon for a date night with the husband!“

“I absolutely love this place. Everything is fresh and delicious. These dogs are creative, are made in house, and the options are endless. I am consistently going back to try them all.Vegetarian options: Can switch out any hot dog with a soy dog“

“We had the chef’s tasting menu and the food was delicious. They adjusted dishes due to dietary preferences or restrictions and we really appreciated this. The service was the most personal and professional I’ve ever had and I have eaten at Michelin restaurants before. I highly recommend!Parking: The parking lot can get pretty full but you’ll most likely always find a spot.“

“This place is amazing every time! Don’t miss having a Negroni. The seafood is great & the alligator sausage over sweet cornbread is excellent. The manager, Alejandro -,along with the entire staff know what they’re doing. Go treat yourself!“

“The food and ambience were top shelf.  I had been there before previously with a friend eating at the bar and always thought it would be great to have my wife there on a special occasion. So we celebrated our anniversary last night and it filled in as the perfect place to do so. “

“Garden State Omelet - w a small salad and diced potatoes! The side dip of a homemade hot sauce so good you want this to jazz up everything you eat. So much on this plate that I had to take half home for dinner! Oh and the lemon and lavender scone that I had as a morning appetizer was the last one. He baked two more for me to take home to the family Service and knowledge 5 Food was 5 BYOB“

“This is a great place for dinner! The restaurant is so pretty, so clean and the food is delicious! The meatball appetizer is a must try. The pork chop with rice pilaf and the rigatoni bolognese are perfectly portioned, shareable and full of flavor! Never once reached for the salt and pepper.I love the family feel you get the second you walk through the doors. There are photos of the owners and their kids are on the wall and they are all on the floor, serving customers with a smile. You can definitely tell it’s a place filled with love, a passion for food and most importantly, family. Would definitely recommend to anyone!“

“I've past this place countless times and always meant to check it out, well I finally did today. I had my baby son with me and they accommodated us, which the staff said they don't get many little ones in here. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and on point. The food was reasonably priced and they were able to make adjustments. Just felt I had to write this review as I don't leave many reviews all the time, but if your hesitant about stopping in and on the fence I would definetely recommend giving them a try. The fish and chips is what I've been searching for in the general area that no other place, least that I've been to compares. My wife had the salad and fish and chips which she couldn't finish, my son had chicken fingers and hot dog, I got a burger which I didn't get to since I finished my wife's fish and chips, and had a calamari appetizer. I'm not much of a hot dog guy, but testing my son's hot dog to see if it was still too hot it was really good I would have ate it, if he didn't finish it.Kid-friendliness: They had highchairs and were very friendly and stated they don't get many kids, but they made it work great.“

“This was our first time here. When we arrived there was only one other occupied table, however by the end of our meal the place was full. Delicious cocktails started our night. We got calamari and a whipped ricotta cheese dish for appetizers. These were delicious! For dinner we had the pork chop and the short rib. These were outstanding with very generous portion sizes. We finished our meal with a double espresso. Our server was pristine, lovely, knowledgeable and even offered to hold my leftovers until after a show that we were headed to after dinner. Clydzs can be romantic, celebratory or just a great meal out. We will DEFINITELY be back, and this is now one of favorite places in New Brunswick!“

“Fantastic local pub with an extraordinary staff. The food is delicious and the selection is greater than your basic bar food. The chef always offers something unique. Richie and Jocelyn always brighten your day and make you feel like your at home.Vegetarian options: Delicious veggie wraps and burgers.Kid-friendliness: There is plenty of seating away from the bar that makes it a family friendly restaurant as well.“

“Great place to go get a drink. They have also good snacks, appetizers and food. The place is cozy and the bands that play there on the weekends are great. . The staff is always welcoming with a gentle smile and nice greeting. It is a place to go to!!!“

“I had to stop by to write this review! I ordered the honey garlic and the honey buffalo chicken wings for the Super Bowl and boy I wasn’t disappointed!!! It was finger licking good and I was so surprised that we had no left overs and our guest was inquiring about this place because it was so good. The wings were cooked to perfection, not hard or burnt under the sauce just a nice crisp that made everything so enjoyable. The owner was super sweet and the round tray that she put everything in was very professional. I’ll definitely be coming back to try some more food on her menu along with the wings. Thank you so much because of you guys my party was a success! I’ll see you again sooner than later.“

“I had an overall wonderful experience at Colonial Diner. The food was better than your average diner and the atmosphere was very notable. I spoke to who I believe to be the manager there about the place and he pointed out the original floors and tiles in the building. The diner had a long bar stretched across the building with multiple TVs playing movies. The staff was very friendly and my order was taken and came very quickly. I showed up about a little over an hour before closing and the restaurant did not have many people in there. The parking lot was large and had many spots. I came on a Thursday night and the staff was very quick everything was done almost immediately after sitting down.“

“I came here for some bar food on Sat night cause I was hungry and the other bar I was at was just too busy to find a seat and eat. Boneless wings were great and priced under $10, but domestic drafts were a little expensive at $5. The bar was very slow for a Sat night and someone was playing terrible rap music on the jukebox. Food and service were great, but music was bad.“

“I've been to Metropolitan Cafe many times and each time the overall experience is good. However, I suggest you pay with cash as the service charge free's for credit or debit cards are almost 4% which is pretty heavy. The other thing to know is when ordering cocktails you'll be better off getting straight drinks like scotch on rocks or vodka rocks as the mixed drinks are very light on alcohol. I ordered a Southern Comfort and Sour. The dinking was ice cold sour mix as the liquor was all but not existing. So I had a bad lemon aid for $15 bucks. Needless to say my next drink was Kettle One rocks Even a bad bartender should be able to pour that drink. So if you can get bye watery cocktails and the high service charge it's not bad.“

“I knew when i first saw this place a couple if years ago, i knew it was my kind of bar. When i finally got around to visit, I found it was Not noisy, so i could have a nice long conversation with my mother. Too many TVs but they were not distracting & intrusive. Small but nice variety of beers. The food was tasty. A couple played multiple games of pool. They looked like they were having fun. Limited waitstaff left us alone to our chat. Digital radio playing classic rock tunes, nothing i found very interesting, but I'm a music snob. Your mileage may vary, but I love it here.“

“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!!!“

“I came here with my husband. Drinks were great. He ordered a Caesar salad and I ordered their Hot Nashville Chicken sandwich. My husband laughed because I had no idea that Nashville hot meant HOLY HOT lol. But I was not disappointed. This was the juicy, best chicken sandwich I'd had anywhere that I can recall in my 32 years.. And I worked in food service for 13 years. The service was also phenomenal. There was a rowdy bunch of younger ones at the bar that eventually got asked to leave. But she kindly let us know that we were welcome to move our table if we so desired. We are definitely coming back again.“

“I went here for happy hour yesterday with friends and had a great time! Our server Zeniah was so attentive and accommodating, making sure that we were taken care of from start to finish, which added to our overall experience. The drink and food options are pretty nice too, I got the Shrooms appetizer and really liked it. Definitely one of the best happy hour spots in the area! Thank you!“

“I've only ever gotten take out for breakfast, never dined in. First off, portions are insane for the omelet!!! You get more than your money's worth. Staff is always kind and patient. I usually get grubhub deliveries from here. And I can say they always remember who you are. It is fun to go and get food for myself. Not a grubhub pickup, and see the look on the one girl's face when she panics and sees there isn't an order. Nope just for me, I'm eating today ?“

“I was on the cruise line for a 70th Birthday Celebration as a 360 video vendor! My 1st time doing a 360 video on a cruise line! It was amazing, the food was good & the cruise was just like having a party at any other venue! www.beeboldentertainment.org thanks again Cornucopia Cruise Line!“

“It seemed like the restaurant was closed but my friends and I was able to order some drinks at the bar, then we moved to a table for dinner. Our server Dominic was very attentive and helpful. Chicken tasted a little too dry, but all the other food we ordered was amazing; especially brisket! It was so tender and tasty. Two of the desserts we ordered with a cup of cappuccino were phenomenal. We were so full after finishing the bbq combo plate, but sure did finish both of the desserts ? I'm glad this place is open for the public. Will definitely comeback ??‍♀️“

“We always have a great dining experience at Sycamore Grill. It's a small restaurant and sitting is limited during the winter, but they do offer outdoor seating during the rest of the year. Food is delicious. They do seem to change their menu around some times. Loved the Reubens they had, but they are no longer on the menu. Fortunately their French Onion Soup is still on it! I get it every time I go! I really enjoyed the Nachos and the Tuna Tower. The burgers are fantastic too! Our waitress our last visit was so attentive and nice.“

“Roosevelt’s catered a retirement party for Fords Jewelers the food was delicious. Chicken Francese, Sausages Peppers and onions, penne w-vodka sauce and Shrimp scampi superb. I would highly recommend them for your next event. We will be sure to use them for all our catering needs.Thank you Mike.“

“Went here for the first time. Employees are great. Very nice and great service. Food was good. Tried grilled Chicken Parm since I'm not a big breaded person. Have to say it was very good and their sauce and linguine was cooked perfect. Enjoyed the visit.“
