50 Best American Restaurants near Hawthorne

“Wanted to specifically leave a review to highlight the incredibly kind & hospitable service I received from my server, Kiki J yesterday. I was in a rush to head somewhere and she did her best to not only ensure I was in & out as fast as possible, but she gave me & everyone else I saw her serve such excellent service. I was in a rush so I didn’t get to verbally tell her this, but wanted her to know her service was greatly appreciated. If I’m in this area again I would definitely stop by. The food was also very good!“

“I’m afraid to be too honest about how much I loved my first visit to The Tasty Table for fear that the more of us who share the less chance I’ll get a table…but…it’s great!! I can hardly wait to return! Sunday brunch is fantastic! Busy and absolutely worth the wait! I had their delicious shakshuka and an early grey tea while my friend had the hamburger and a cappuccino. We both loved it!!! We ate outside which was lovely, but inside is even more lovely! The design is farmhouse chic meets French patisserie…a great combo!!! And…the staff was kind and generous!! I really look forward to going back!!“

It's a safe bet that you'll get an enjoyable meal at Strawberry Place.“

“Silver Lake is a great cafe! The food, atmosphere, and service is outstanding, and the place is very clean and well kept every time I’ve been. I got the #3 which is a Smoked Turkey Hero, and it was super solid and filling. I highly recommend swapping the mayo with chipotle mayo — it was amazing and added a lot of flavor. Maybe even get some extra chipotle mayo on the side. I approve!“

“I went to this place the other day but when I got there, it was so crowded. I had to either have a 30 minute wait or sit at the bar. Obviously I sat at the bar, but the food was good. I got the chocolate chip pancakes. there was a lot I had to share with my friend. But It was a good amount for the price. I also think the atmosphere around is super cute. I love the Armonk town and I hope to come back here soon!“

“As usual, we had a lovely time. Fun to watch the USA soccer team and they won! Service = great. The food was mostly good but fish & chips a little soggy evidently. And it was a REALLY hot evening outside. The temp inside Emma's, however, was a little too chilly. But a wonderful evening! Thanks!“

“The fries were excellent, as were the appetizers, and the meals of my companions. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. My steak sandwich was cooked to order - medium rare, and tender - but was under-seasoned and the bun served on was plain. I.e., steak, onions, and cheese on plain bread which, given how great the rest was, came as a surprise.

Overall I gladly recommend; just avoid the steak sandwich.“

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.

I'd definitely rent this place for an event, party!“
