50 Best American Restaurants near Tenafly

“The food is excellent and is delivered quickly.“

“Finally - a restaurant where great food doesn't require a second mortgage! My wife and I stopped in for dinner tonight with zero expectations. Boy were we pleasantly surprised. I ordered the French onion soup, which was excellent. My wife ordered the Brussell sprouts which were out of this world! They were light and flaky and flavorful. I was happy the wife was willing to share! For entrees the wife got the Tuna Nicoise, which she loved. I ordered the Chicken Caprese sandwich which had the perfect ratio of meat to bread. The sandwich came with a small salad and the most delicious fries I've had in a while. Service was attentive but not overbearing. My water glass was consistantly filled. With appetizers and entrees out of the way, we had to try dessert. Sadly, this fell short of expectations. The lava cake was uninspired and the ice cream was crystalline. But we finished it anyway. Overall my wife and I were very pleased with the quality, food, and ambiance. I look forward to returning and trying the burgers. Definitely a new favorite.“

“Honestly one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Not only were the ingredients fresh, but the preparation was nothing short of perfect. Great atmosphere & vibe. Will definitely be returning very soon.“

“Nice little Bar/Restaurant within walking distance from the Museum of Natural History. Outdoor seated is covered to keep diners out of the sun or rain. Tables are very small, not ideal for big parties or for families with strollers.

Drinks (The Dude) were very well made (strong!) and Downeast Cider on tap was an added bonus.

Bathrooms are small but clean and sufficient.

Double Smash burger was smaller than expected but it was very tasty as were the fries that came with it. Hot honey chicken sandwich was delicious (bigger than the burger) and the truffle fries were very flavorful.“

“Had a lovely breakfast indoors with our dear friends. We selected this restaurant because their is ample space between tables which is a rarity These days at the majority of the restaurants in New York City. Finally, what made our brunch very pleasant was the wonderful service we received from our waiter Nahid . Thank you Nahid. We look forward to returning soon.“

“I was blown away by the generosity of the servings. You certainly get your money's worth here! The flavor profile has evolved into something much more sophisticated. The ambiance is chic yet comfortable, and the waiters are exceptionally polite. It’s a 10/10 from me. The food is much tastier than my last visit and I’m completely full. The team here really knows how to take care of their guests.“

“Amy Ruth’s is more than a restaurant—it’s a piece of history. ❤

You can feel the legacy the moment you walk through the doors. This iconic Harlem restaurant has served countless legends and has been part of so many unforgettable moments in the community. It was truly an honor to experience it for ourselves.

Now, let’s talk about the food… we were definitely being greedy! 😂 We ordered the salmon croquettes, Chicken & Waffles, waffles, candied yams, collard greens, and macaroni & cheese, and every dish was made with that authentic soul food flavor that keeps people coming back for generations.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that combines rich history, Harlem culture, warm hospitality, and outstanding soul food, Amy Ruth’s deserves a spot at the top of your list.

We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in New York!“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“This is an amazing experience for families and kids! We had the most fun! The food was good, the service was amazing, the show was so much fun! After the show the Knights came out and took pictures. My son had all the knights sign his sword. My son had the best time... honestly we all did!“

“If you are celiac and want a good burger in NYC, this is the place for you. Food here is amazing. We came here twice during our visit, takeout the first time, and ate at the restaurant the second.
I would suggest you to eat here, quality is high and hot food is always better, but this place is so good that even when it's cold at home is worth it. Very good burger, amazing popcorn chicken, sweet potato fries are a gem.“

“This restaurant is exceptional Quality food prepared beautifully Thoughtful selection of items on menu made by the chef and whomever else curates the kitchen There may be an over abundance of restaurants in New York that supply ambience, notoriety, and sometimes exotic preparations of food Westville keeps the food identifiable, presented in a way that makes you salivate!!!)) More of this, please“

“Had the breakfast burrito 🌯 been wanting to get to this place for a while.

Wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but it was good. The chorizo was the one I went with definitely wasn’t disappointed.

I don’t think it’s worth a far drive but if you’re in the area or it’s not completely out your way it’s definitely worth stopping in for a visit. The place does have seating but not a lot of room. There is a park near by and lots of outdoor seating near the area. That’s what I chose to do.

The breakfast burrito price was amazing especially for nyc the food was good quality and really delicious. The sauce everyone was talking about wasn’t over powering. Matter of fact I wish I had more next time I’ll ask for some on the side felt like I needed an extra pump 😂.

I truly enjoyed this place and I’m sure you guys will also the coffee was mid but it’s ok food makes up for it.

Hope you enjoyed this review like always follow me on IG @imbroke_eats and @imbroke_rob

Hope this helped“

“Delicious food, great service, amazing ambiance… Highly recommended!“

“Lovely food. A beautiful Steinway B piano (and stunning pianist Lex Korten on Oct.8, 2023) Make sure if you are a party of 4 or 6 that you can get 2 or 3 tables together in the 3 main long lines of tables, No good option for party of 5. No refunds for persons who cannot make the show, for any reason only a future credit. Even with ear plugs I found the amplification disheartening for such an intimate space, and we were as far from the stage as we could get.“

“I recently visited the Pancake Factory and had the pleasure of being served by J. From the moment I walked in, J's warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel right at home. They were incredibly attentive, ensuring my experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. J's knowledge of the menu was impressive—they provided excellent recommendations, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. The pancakes were fantastic, but it was J's exceptional service that truly made my visit memorable. Their professionalism, friendliness, and ability to anticipate needs were outstanding. If you're looking for top-notch service and a great dining experience, ask for J—you won't be disappointed!🥰“

“Nice Place with best friends to hangout..👍“
