50 Best American Restaurants near Mt Vernon

“I’ve been to many restaurants, but Home Frite truly stands out. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with great energy and outstanding hospitality. The place is spotless, the atmosphere is cozy, and everything feels thoughtfully managed.

The Nashville Loaded Fries are an absolute must try perfectly crispy, generously loaded, and bursting with flavor. And the cheeseburgers? Easily one of the best I’ve had. Fresh ingredients, juicy patties, soft buns, and every bite is packed with quality.

A special appreciation goes to Anshrah at the front desk. She is the kind of person every restaurant hopes to have as the first face customers see. Her warm smile, professionalism, and genuine kindness make every guest feel welcomed and valued. She goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth and pleasant experience, and her positive attitude truly reflects the high standards of Home Frite.

It’s rare to find a place that excels in both food and customer service, but Home Frite has mastered both. If you’re looking for unforgettable burgers, incredible Nashville Loaded Fries, and hospitality that makes you want to come back, this is the place. A well deserved 5 stars. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to everyone I know.“

“My husband and I were at Broken Bow. I ordered at Ran & Gui's kitchen the last minute. So, I ordered whatever they had left which was the catfish bits, BBQ chicken wings, and chicken tenders. I have had catfish in the past which was flavorless. However, Ran & Gui's catfish bites was so flavorful that I didn't need the tartar sauce to enjoy them. My husband loved their chicken tenders and he mostly ate them without the honey mustard sauce. As far as the BBQ chicken wings, they were like regular BBQ chicken wings. We will definitely come back for the catfish and chicken tenders 😊.“

“Good place but has the exact same items since they opened, geez change some of the items please. Also music is frequently so loud, you can’t enjoy the meal“

“I finally came here after years of hearing about this place and trying many different options from places in New Rochelle all the way to Nyack. Although the atmosphere is minimal the food is delicious and plentiful. I felt as if I was picking up plates of soul food from my church ladies with the gospel music playing which I did not mind.

I ordered three dinners we tried the fried chicken, collards, yams and one order of mac and cheese that was a mistake we should have gotten more and order of peach cobbler. As my daughter described it she felt like eating this food was like getting a hug from a grandma! None of the food is overly seasoned which my husband and I prefer but seems to be the common mistake a lot of soul food locations are making.

There is a detour near the location which makes parking a little bit of a challenge however, that will not stop me from returning.“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

“The food is really good. My go-to is the quinoa salad with grilled chicken or the grilled cheese with tomato soup. The salad is very refreshing and delicious and the grilled cheese with tomato soup just warms the soul. Their drinks will do what it needs to do lol.

“i’m here to tell you the hype is true. The burritos are so freaking good. The sauce is immaculate. I always ask for extra sauce. My favorite is the sausage burrito and the bacon. I usually get both and eat half-and-half and split it with my partner. lol

It’s so good please support local!!!

I usually travel all the way to Brooklyn for a similar type of burrito (santos) and I’m so happy to have found this gem uptown nyc!! (no pic because burrito was inhaled)

“Was in Harlem and wanted some good food, this place popped up. We called before going, and was told that there was not a wait. Arrived just 5 minutes later and that was not the case. The host was pleasant, offered us cornbread and water while we waited. Our server was lack luster, she was so busy being busy she completely missed the mark at every opportunity. The food took a while to come out but it was good. Atmosphere comfortable. Would be willing to try again.“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“I only have one word for the delicious and tasty food I just had: Fantastic! I want to eat like that every day! I opted for a delivery from Wonder and was looking for something satisfying for my diet and I’m glad I tried DIG INN, the delivery was fast and the order was accurate since I chose the “Make Your Own Bowl” option. I went for: Steak, char-chicken, sweet potatoes, avocado, carrots and a lemon wedge. The recipe for a healthy and protein rich meal! It was so great I seriously thought of having another round at it as soon as I finished. Now I know where to order when I need a protein-filled dinner! Great discovery, can’t wait to order again! This was exactly what I was looking for today!“

“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“
