19 Best American Restaurants in New Paltz

“100% recommend novellas! We just recently celebrated our wedding there and we had the best. Time. They made the entire wedding process so easy for us, with menu items, decor, timelines, everything. You name it, they did it! Bryce, Chloe, and their entire team were so helpful and kind. So willing to step up to plate, and the food was DELICIOUS. Super affordable and convenient as well, and they answered any and every question they had. Our special day was made even better thanks to the wonderful work of their staff and the beautiful scenery of their venue. My guests and family were overjoyed and welcomed happily by all of them, and I’m incredibly grateful! This place has become like family, and we’ll be back as often as we can now because of their professionalism and kind hospitality! Thank you guys!!“

“I love the chopped salads and friendly helpful employees! Everyone is always so happy at the counter and sometimes it just really makes my day. Definitely get a take out cocktail for later - you won't regret it.“

“We stopped by in the evening after a soccer game at New Paltz. We were tired, cold and hungry. Lola's had a warm, welcoming friendly atmosphere. We ordered two salads, and a panini and a few drinks. We all enjoyed our meals and I think the Asian chicken salad was honestly the best salad I've ever had. So fresh and the chicken was tender and delicious in a peanut sauce. We hope to return and try some other dishes from the amazing menu! So glad we stopped in!“

“We were a group of 6 hungry hikers when we arrived to Maggie Mae's yesterday, July 27th. We certainly received 5 star service. The food & hospitality is top notch with so many great menu options. Thank you Garvan McCloskey from all of us at Team Aisling. If anyone is in the New Paltz area & you're wondering where to go, check out Maggie Mae's or Garvan's. You will not be disappointed.“

“Fantastic & friendly staff, delicious food with a great variety of menu items & so very accommodating to parties! I give 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. We will return again & again💐“

“We visit this restaurant often, it is the absolute best vegan restaurant ever.?Every soup I’ve tried was delicious. The sweet potato biscuits are amazing. The desserts are fabulous. If 10 is the highest rating I can give, I give them an 11. I wish we had this gem in NEPA. We will always be back for more of this place. Thank you for having such a wonderful, variety filled menu always. I❤️ Karma Road“

“Whenever we are in the New Paltz area, we always try to make sure we get breakfast or lunch here. The food and coffee are fantastic, and the servers are attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere and vibe.“

“This weekend was my first time visiting New Paltz and my girlfriend and I stopped by this place as soon as we saw pickles (I love pickled food) I bought a pineapple habanero hot sauce and a jar of their dill pickles with garlic. The hot sauce was absolutely fantastic, very spicy just as the owner warned me, but delicious and the pickles were so acidic and tart yet sweet and savory. They have lots of things like pickled jalapenos, different home made juices and mixes and a lot of sandwiches, Frank's is a must stop for anyone who likes pickled foods with good sandwiches with great sauces.“

“Just great, tasty food. Any seafood spot that makes good tartar sauce gets my business and vote. In my top three for sure.“

“Visited Garvan’s today for the first time for a late lunch in the Pub. We started with Mexican Street Carrots. So delicious! My husband had the traditional Irish breakfast and I had the lamb stew. Both meals were excellent. Wish we could have had dessert, but we were so stuffed. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. We’re looking forward to visiting again.“

“The owners, James and Michelle, and staff are always welcoming. Great selection of coffee and tea. They'll grind your selection of beans or take em home whole. James' paninis just great. Starbucks has nothing on Mudd except hype. You want good ☕️ and reasonably priced selection of quality products when you need a break Mudd Puddle is worth a drop in.“

“Great wine bar with great Sangria! Perfect place to relax after a morning of hiking or running!!!!“

“What a lovely place. Excellent drinks as you’d expect from a Nola inspired place. Gater tots were super crunchy and flavorful but definitely over salted. I absolutely loved the blackened catfish but the jambalaya was just ok. Fast attentive service, cute vibe and good prices.“

“Went to Buffalo area last week, ate great wings at bar where wings were first served. Plus ate wings at other bars in that area, very good wings. Stopped in New Paltz on way back to Ct. Cuddys wings were the best! Had three different sauces all were fantastic! Highly recommend eating Cuddys wings!!“

“😀great atmosphere, piano bar, great service and delicious food!“

“My boyfriend and I got recommended this place for breakfast and went to check it out! The place was super busy (we went on a Saturday morning), and the food took a while to come out, but overall we enjoyed the food and thought the place was super nice!“

“Best restaurant and coolest Owner Wayne and bartender dave“

“My wife and I were part of a large group of 10u softball girls, parents and coaches. From the beginning, the hostess and wsitess were extremely accommodating and eventually, the manager, in her infinite wisdom moved everyone upstairs so we could all be together and the girls could have a blast. Thank you so much for providing great service, great food and a great time for all. We are from Bethlehem PA but will be back again.“
