46 Best American Restaurants near Waretown

“Went here with a party of 8. They don’t accept reservations but they sat our party in a reasonable amount of time. The restaurant was packed! Fun vibe and Friendly and attentive staff.

The food was honestly out of this world delicious. The sourdough toast with ricotta and pistachio might be the best bite I’ve ever had in my life. I had the golden tilefish for dinner and it was cooked beautifully. My wife had the Pork Katsu and it is was also delicious.
Dessert course was awesome. Sticky toffee pudding and an orange cake that will ruin you for all other orange cakes!

Great food, service and vibe!“

“I am extremely fussy about how, my Steak & burgers are cooked (Pittsburgh Blue) The chef last night "Hit it outta park perfect" the entire night was awesome, atmosphere is fantastic, if you want a home town Pub with great prices, great atmosphere and amazing food, you will not regret it .. going to the Lighthouse.“

“Recently tried the weekend brunch and dinner. My wife has Celiac and we had avoided B2 for several years due to the lack of food options for her. We found the atmosphere enjoyable and food delicious. We really enjoyed both experiences. The menu appears to be nicely updated with GF options that has my wife asking when we're going back. I highly recommend B2 in Bayville.“

“We went here on Thanksgiving. They had their open menu as well as a Thanksgiving dinner, which was delicious. The servers worked as hard as they could. To make sure everybody got their food on time. Click on the refills of your drinks.And you were able to sit out side by the water. If you go, i'm sure you will enjoy it.“

“Great , fun place! Good food too!“

“I love our Manahawkin TGI Fridays! I feel like it’s a town favorite because you see the same friendly faces, and new ones too. That’s definitely due to the staff! Mark, Lily and Susie are an absolute pleasure. They greet you with a warm smile and a friendly hand shake. They make you feel like they were waiting for you to come in. It’s definitely staff members like them that keep everyone coming back. I know that’s why I do.“

“We had Kate & Ally’s cater a party at our local community center for 100 people. Everything from securing the date, choosing the menu, the food, and the service was top notch! I am so happy we were able to provide such high quality and creative food, but also, to have had the opportunity to just enjoy the party while the Kate and Ally staff handled it all from set up to clean up! Huge thank yous to Dianne, Lindsay, Janet, and Rich for all their hard work to help make my event special!“

“Nice place for lunch. Good food and drink.
Efficient, pleasant, and capable staff. Shared the Nachos platter. I had the riblets platter thoroughly enjoyed with a Yeungling. Make a great cup of coffee. Nice atmosphere. Ate at the bar, plenty of booths. Wednesday, 09/25/2024, not crowded. Nice ambiance inside.

Parking: Plenty of parking in their lot.“

“You can tell care is put into this food, not your average reheated frozen slop from most places around. Best mozzarella sticks in the area, a must on their menu. Chicken fingers were also superior to most.

My chicken sandwich was really good, nice sauce too. My husband liked his burger as well. Take out can end of lackluster by the time you get home to eat it, but that wasn’t the case with Big Dogs. Was happy to see them reopen so we could finally try them out.“

“great food great service great ambiance ....I'll be back“

“Doyle's Pour House has great food and service in an ideal (and family friendly) "neighborhood pub" setting. My food choice is the the Soccer Sauce wings "thrown back on the grill" with a side of extra sauce and a cold beer....yum!" And their Tuesday Musical Bingo and Wednesday Trivia on Tap are the best the shore has to offer!“

Kid-friendliness: Kids have good time. What kid could pass up on french friesg0“

“We have been going to Black Eyed Susan's since their prior location across the street when it was BYOB and I can't believe it's actually gotten better in terms of menu and the cocktail menu is amazing too. With the addition of Marigold this summer they've reached the next level. We hope to rent it out next year for a private event. Could not recommend it enough if you're on Long Beach Island (or even if you have to drive the bridge)“

“Really enjoy this place great raw bar“

“Melissa Mazepa was my bartender and was the absolute BEST. If you want to feel welcome, look no further! Fast, friendly, and gave me plenty of delicious options to choose from as I have no clue about anything liquor, or the menu overall! She didn’t make me feel clueless, and was extremely attentive! A great conversationist, and overall has phenomenal service attributes! The atmosphere is fun, while also comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant, as well as caddy club!“

“I tried to put another review on Google but since I just entered my first review on April 6th it would not let me submit another one. I was there again this past weekend with my daughter and we ordered the filet mignon and it was amazing!!!! Luke was our waiter on Saturday and he was excellent!!! Potstickers were great as well!!! When my daughter, grandson, girlfriend and others come down Element is certainly our go to place!!! Thank you everyone from the friendly greeting when you arrive to the amazing waiters and waitresses to the chefs and beyond! This restaurant runs like a “Swiss Watch” well done!!!“

“We have been coming here for years and are never disappointed. The food is amazing, the service is great and the owner is wonderful. We will continue to enjoy our weekly visits and will always recommend to our friends and family.“

“I recommend the service. I recommend the food. I recommend the atmosphere. I recommend EVERYTHING about this place... now back in the day (late 70's) my mom used to call it the "dirty diner" and I can tell you for certain, it is anything BUT. They keep this place clean and well maintained and it's a joy to visit. Solid diner food, you couldn't ask for better and decent prices along with people who treat you like you're there every morning for coffee and a roll. I still don't understand the Chili-Applebee-Friday set, the people who love their garbage chain 'food'... but here you get food that tastes like it was made by someone who really truly loves you... probably better than your mom's and it is always worth stopping. Please shop/eat/support real local business, it will always be worth it. In this case, you don't sacrifice ANYTHING for eating here, you get great food, you get treated like you belong and at a decent price, too.“

“As someone with Celiac disease, we often "miss out". It's so nice to have a place that "gets" gluten free and offers great options. I had the chicken cheese steak with fries. Both were delicious! The gluten free roll was soft, not dry & crumbly. The fries were some of the best I've ever had - fresh, crisp. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommended giving them a try.“

“I got the cheese Danish, cherry Danish, the raspberry crumb cake and a Cappuccino with butterscotch. they must not have had the raspberry crumb cake bc I received regular. I had the cheese Danish. it looked more like a lobster claw the way it was made, but it was the BEST cheese Danish I have ever had. the filling was creamy, almost like cheesecake but not as sweet. the cappuccino was very good. I haven't tried anything else yet, but I definitely will be returning. if I could give 10 stars, I would“

“excellent service and value.“

“My daughter and her husband had their wedding reception at the Daymark on 10/27/2018. There was a nor’easter the night before into Saturday morning. There was flooding everywhere! Management and staff did an incredible job rearranging the room since we had to change the wedding ceremony to inside, instead of at the Lighthouse. The food and staff made it a memorable night. Everything was perfect! Thank you to all of the Daymark staff!“

“This place has amazing food in a beautiful location….on the beach! Chef Mike was so gracious and generous when he agreed to have our wedding at his restaurant. The staff were amazing! Food was incredible and if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you for making our day so special!“

“Absolutely the best in town or around. The food here is better than other Chicken Holidays for some reason! The way they make the ribs is insane!!! The wings, jumbo shrimp, and everything else here is so good it’s crazy! It’s a must try spot. For sure!!“
