42 Best American Restaurants near West Windsor

“Was checking my out for a possible birthday party location and found the manager and staff to be very helpful and accommodating. The space is ample and the golf course looked great. I'd gone over earlier in the day and arrived as a post-golf tournament banquet was getting underway. If the smell of the food being served was a good indicator. It must be delicious. Will be returning this week to test/taste that theory out!“

“I absolutely love ordering from this restaurant. This is the only place that I will order my pizza from since I moved to the area. Anything that I have ever ordered from here has been absolutely delicious!“

“I have been to this pancake house 2 years back & again recently. Their pancakes are soft & fluffy. This place is a regular for a lot of locals. Will keep coming here to try all the options on the menu. We got the banana pancake and waffles with strawberries & cannoli cream. They were delicious.“

“I am very pleased every time I’ve come here in the last few months. We get seated right away and the food comes out pretty quickly. However, the five stars really goes for the people that work there. They are so friendly which is saying much now a days in the restaurant industry. They have a great attitude, very respectful and just seem to enjoy working together. Keep it Hamilton Applebees team!!!“

“My company and I had a rack of ribs with rice and broccoli, a million dollar cobb salad with salmon instead of chicken. Well done and whiskey glazed ribs. Outstanding. Just outstanding. My compliments to the chef. My only disappointment is that they shut down so many TGIF restaurants and I had to drive so far to find this one. However, it was well worth it. The other problem was they seemed to be low staffed and the young lady who was serving me was very busy and having somewhat of a hard time keeping up.“

“Quite simply The Blue Bottle has the best cuisine of any restaurant in the area that I live. And there are quite a few good ones. The only problem I have with them most often is getting a reservation on the weekend. I also have a problem managing culinary heat [a physical rather than a gastronomic one] and I wish I could tolerate more of it in some of their creations. I really recommend the place.“

“Winberie’s is my favorite restaurant in Princeton. The food and the service is consistently excellent. Whenever I’m in NJ I have at least one meal at Winberie’s. I really appreciate the healthier choices on the menu.“

“Great quality, well presented food in an upscale, but unassuming environment. Perfect for lunch with friends, colleagues, or a date night!

As a vegan, the variety of dishes to choose from was a relative rarity and greatly appreciated! I had the sweet potato and bean chilli which was really tasty, well balanced, gorgeously presented, hearty - the perfect dish for autumn. The plant based dishes were so well designed that my colleagues, both of whom eat meat, opted for vegan meals too!

The farm to table concept is fabulous and the quality of ingredients is noticeable on the first bite. Each staff member we had the pleasure of interacting with was lovely, and the service was excellent throughout.

Thank you Agricola team!“

“This is the definition of a hidden gem. Located in the Princeton Country Club (public), the food is outstanding and the chef is good at everything he puts on the menu. Service is kind, welcoming, and very accommodating. I didn't have a bite of food that I didn't like. Stand outs were the braised oxtail main, vegetable spring rolls, seafood gumbo with the catfish, shrimp with Alfredo, fried apple pie, BBQ chicken flatbread, A wonderful happy hour from 5-7pm.“

Even during Covid we stayed, they cared even though the kitchen was closed they advised us where to get take out. It is a comfortable, friendly place to stay.“

“I had a great experience at Iron & Ivy! I loveeeee going to hotel restaurants! I feel like I'm on a sense of vacation even though I'm not staying over! When you walk into Iron & Ivy, you're greeted by a beautiful fireplace and bright, stocked bar! The hostess was so sweet and recommended amazing menu options! We started off with the quesadillas and the bourbon bbq wings! When I tell you, the quesadillas were top 5 all time, they are TOP 5! They didn't fall apart and were toasted to perfection as well as loaded with shrimp and cheese and beans and corn! It was PHENOMENAL! For dinner we ordered the Grilled Flat Iron Steak and the Spinach & Roasted Garlic Tortellini! The veggies were so delicious and it was a huge portion that I was able to bring home for lunch the next day! For drinks, you couldn't go wrong with the dirty martini, the very berry martini and the Soccer Mom Lemonade! It was a great night overall and they have a huge inside / outside dining area! Highly recommend checking out Iron & Ivy and make sure you order the quesadillas because they are LIFE CHANGING!“

“Group of 6 met for lunch. Almost drove by. Could use a better sign. Comfortable small sports bar atmosphere. Very good service and the servings of food were large. You will not leave hungry and will most likely bring some home. First time there and we will definitely return.“

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.“

“Celebrating 3 birthdays at Roots Ocean Prime with 8 people. Everyone loved their entrees (steaks ) which were cooked perfectly. Sides were tasty and enjoyed by everyone. Great wine list. Appreciated the wine recommendation by our server. Our server, Rachel, was excellent. The birthday desserts were the hit of the dinner! Thank you Roots Ocean Prime for making the birthday celebration extra special!“

“Delicious food & cocktails ❤️“

“our server Gianna was the best server I’ve ever had. she should get a raise because she’s super nice and funny. she made the experience really good and we want to come again“

“A hidden jewel. This 50's themed diner is always immaculate. Staff is well trained and really friendly for this family owned business. We, until recently, worked our business from home so Chris's is our home from home. Always accommodating, food is excellent, prices fair. My happy place❤“

“This was our first visit to the Brookwood Café. It is absolutely amazing. We spoke to one of the owners and she was so kind enough to let us sample the soup. Food is excellent! So happy we found this little gem.“

“Great food, great employees and exceptional service“

“We've been here a few times and have had a great experience across the board. The food is delicious and at a great price. Our favorites are the BBQ ribs, wings, and coleslaw/potato salad. The staff are friendly. The atmosphere is a little lack luster but most people order take out and don't typically eat in. Regardless, we love the food and have had great experiences. We'll always come here when we crave classic BBQ. Highly recommend!“

“Meatheadz has the absolute best cheesesteak anywhere!! The service is fast and friendly and I've never been disappointed by this amazing establishment!“
