50 Best American Restaurants near Glen Head

“First-time visit. Food was delicious and the bartender/server, Peter, was friendly and efficient. Observing other patrons, all seemed to be quite pleased. I’ll be back😊“

“Here’s the thing—Season Bistro is the best restaurant in Long Island. I know how big a statement that is. Go eat there and tell me I’m wrong though. The chef is brilliant, creative, and does things with pork belly that normal chefs would rave about! The entire menu is amazing. And that menu changes 4 times a year—depending on, yes, the season. A+“

“We love going to Foster—at this point, you could say we’re regulars. We typically sit at the bar. We especially love their specials, and I’m still thinking about the elk burger I had last year (please bring it back!).The oysters are always fresh and delicious, and the fried chicken is absolutely amazing. Recently, I’ve been loving the salmon with corn and shishito succotash and blueberry teriyaki. Honestly, everything is consistently fresh and delicious.

John, the bartender, makes excellent cocktails—many with fun names like Silence of the Lambrusco. He puts a lot of care into his craft, from house-infused ingredients to thoughtful presentation. He also always keeps you hydrated with their house water, which I truly appreciate.

Happy hour is a great deal and is available at the bar only, Wednesday through Sunday from 5:00–7:00 pm, and all night on Mondays. We love ordering the wood-fired Margherita pizza and fried chicken wings for $12.36, along with their house margarita at $10.30—delicious and affordable.

When we do get a table, the service is always spot on.

We feel lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in our neighborhood.“

“I experienced Nettie’s for the first time last evening. My dining experience was excellent from arrival to departure. The food was “DELISH!” The owner was welcoming & hospitable, the service was good, and the music and atmosphere wea awesome! I am so pleased and proud to have a “Black” owned establishment where you can dine in Queens in a tasteful environment, supporting our entrepreneurs and our community. I, along with others will be back!!!“

“Stopped by for dinner with my partner, this place feels like a great hidden gem. Everything on the menu looked delicious. Our server Carlos gave us great recommendations and was mindful of my allergies. My partner and I ordered the Halloumi Salad and a cheeseburger.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review

I hosted a party of 20 at Applebee’s, and the entire experience was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, organized, and incredibly accommodating. Handling a large group is never easy, but they made it look effortless.

Our server Alexandra went above and beyond, keeping drinks full, orders accurate, and everyone happy. The food came out quickly, hot, and perfectly cooked. Not a single mistake, which is impressive for such a big party! Every guest raved about both the service and the quality of the food.

The team Projwal Pradhan, Alexandra and Angel truly made our celebration smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. I’m so grateful for their professionalism and kindness. We will definitely be returning for future gatherings!

Highly recommend this location for any event or large group, top-notch service and delicious food! 🍽️✨“

“We actually never went to this location before, but had greatly enjoyed their prior second location in Port Washington. Expectaions were right on point. Food was excellent from appetizer to the main course. Maybe it's weird but I kind of respect even the small things like when a restaraunt offers to chose to serve in house brewed ice tea as opposed to something pre processed. The Brisket from todays specials list was perfect. This restaurant is 45min drive from home and well worth the trip. Thank You, we will be back.“

“Just had a Birthday Dinner and we enjoyed from the beginning to the end. The food was amazing! The octopus dish is delicious.. i loved the atmosphere and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place!!!!“

“I’ve been coming here for years and if you’re looking for a friendly atmosphere for dinner or to watch your favorite team, Sal’s Place is the place to go. There is a separated dining area so you’re not just crammed by the bar. No pool table, no fights, no hassles. Food is good with a large variety of options plus specials. The staff busts their asses to make sure your needs are cared for. If you’ve never been here, give it try and I promise you it won’t be the last time you’re there.“

“Customer service was excellent!!!The atmosphere was very beautiful. The food was very delicious. The craziest thing was my boyfriend and I would pass by there all the time not knowing about this restaurant until I went for my birthday. The experience was everything 💕I will definitely be coming back to try their delicious food.“

“Great new family restaurant with fantastic vibes. Televisions everywhere. Great bar. Staff and owners create a family environment. We have been there twice in 1 week and they remembered us when we walked in the door the 2nd time. Rueben spring rolls were a must both trips as was the shepard's pie. Meals are huge! Prices are great.“

“I started off looking for “just a bar” and stumbled across Teddy’s. What I found was a modern interior with a pleasant staff that was willing to accommodate anything and everything. Oyster Bay is not the friendliest place for minorities but genuinely, I feel like I am home at Teddy’s. Thank you!“

“Went to my great nieces birthday and Baptism; Charlotte is 1 year old! Apparently, Wellington Grill is being rented as a special catering event location.
Very clean, lots of windows, 2 large rooms including a full bar on one side. A couple of areas for hors douerves and buffet or sit down dinner.
Food was amazing! You choose the menu!
I'd definitely rent this place for an event, party!“

“10 stars. Staff is so professional and friendly. Super clean. Fantastic food, so many tv for sports that you can not miss a game or event. I recommend this to all and to all hotels to recommend clients to attend. Absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!“

“And - we're back for the 2nd time in a month - just couldn't resist trying more options on the winter menu. This time around we shared tuna tartare app which was plenty for sharing and an excellent option. Dinner choices from our servers suggestions were butterfish and scallops. We enjoyed it all. Great flavors and presentation. Portions were just right, even if it means no take-home box. Looking forward to Spring!“

“Love it; really exquisite“

“I moved out here a lil while ago and looking for new places to eat in Locust valley, There’s a young girl who’s so sweet when I answer. I always get the roast beef panini w/ chicken soup… SOOOO GOOD! My daughter is a picky eater, and loves they food! ESPECIALLY the chicken soup! Great restaurant!“

“Went to Applebees with husband for the special 2 for $25.00 dinners . we both had the steak dinners. Very good!! Our server, Natasha M. , was very good and made our experience dining here enjoyable.“

“Celebrated a special birthday with friend/family, always a great meal!“

“Large select of beer great food“

“Excellent food, beautifully crafted cocktails, warm , comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend the coach Meeting House“

“My brother, his wife, and I went to this establishment for lunch and were seated outside, since it was such nice weather on that day. We ordered spinach & artichoke dip and boneless wings as starters, which we gladly enjoyed; and Leo's BBQ ribs, the Trojan Chicken, and the Teriyaki skirt steak for the entrees. Each dish was quite delicious, although my sister-in-law found the steak a bit salty for her tastes. The staff were kind and very attentive as well. Personally, the Trojan chicken was my favorite out of the entrees. It came with a side of yellow rice, and the grilled chicken was topped with mushrooms and cheese. I highly recommend it!“

“I love their breakfasts! So delicious….“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! Also, the portion sizes are excellent given the consistently high quality of the food and the surprisingly low price that you pay for that quality. Oh, and the service was excellent too! All of our glasses were served chilled, and the staff were extremely attentive and responsive despite the language barrier between us (I wish I spoke better Spanish and Portuguese!)“

“Good all AMERICAN food in a garden setting. Very pleasant throughout.“

“Husband & I were in the area & decided to stop in for lunch today & glad we did. I had the Lamb Gyro, came w/french fries & Beef Barley soup. Soup was delicious. Gyro had plenty of meat (lamb) w/lettuce, tomatoes & onions. All very fresh. Husband had Falafel which he said was absolutely delicious. We had a great lunch. The staff were very nice and attentive & restaurant was cheerful & clean. We will definitely be coming back to try their dinner next time. Highly recommend Opa Grille.“
