50 Best American Restaurants near Pelham Manor

“I've been to a few that are better, but at the end of the day, it's a Chuck E. Cheese with a bar, which comes in handy. Drinks are watered down, so no surprise there.Kid-friendliness: The place is 90/10 kid friendly. If you're playing pool and you step away, there's a good chance you'll find them taking over your game.“

“Lovely people, lovely place, incredibly delicious food! Ingredients are very fresh, often from the local farmers market. There are both very creative dishes and classics on the menu. The Queensboro is a special restaurant that not only cares about the quality of their food and atmosphere, but also sincerely cares about the community.Kid-friendliness: Roomy and fun space that is very comfortable for those bringing children. The staff is super friendly with children as well!“

“I went there for my 56th birthday and I had a wonderful time. The staff was efficient. And friendly. I will be going back. The only thing I had a problem with that The Collard Greens and String Beans was cook with pork and I don’t eat pork. And I really wanted them Collard Greens. I know Golden Corral is base on the South but can They be some Collard Greens and String Beans cooked in turkey meat for the near future?“

“We visited on a Wednesday afternoon and it was bustling. I imagine weekend brunch is a whole vibe. The ambiance inside is inviting, warm and cozy (see photos). I appreciate the artwork, photographs and decor. It speaks to the rich heritage of Harlem and specifically to the area where the restaurant is located. There’s a decent amount of seating, some tables are closer to others than I prefer. However our table was perfect for me. You can make reservations which might be a good idea. There is also a good amount of outdoor seating. Visit their website for the policy regarding time allowed at table (to be able to accommodate more customers)… seems reasonable to me.Maia took good care of us. She was friendly, attentive without being intrusive and on point. She came back and checked on us although the restaurant was bustling as mentioned previously.There is a list of specials beautifully written on their board. With so many dishes I wanted to try… I must return (maybe for one of the live music events). I was intrigued by the fusion of food from different cuisines. I ended up ordering curry chicken sandwich with salad and plantain on the side. It was a good portion. I was full without feeling overstuffed. Definitely worth a trip to Harlem to check them out.“

“New favorite spot in Astoria! We got almost all the apps and some mains and everything was delicious. Service was super friendly and attentive. Music was A+. Drinks were creative and delicious. Such a good place to host a party or stop in for dinner after work. Thank you!!“

“We were at Ginny's Supper club downstairs at Red Rooster for the Sunday Gospel Brunch. The BEST way to spend Mother's Day, given that I couldn't be with my kids. My husband and I loved it! The food was great- fried chicken and mac n cheese with collard greens. And the concert was fantastic- those amazing voices! Tell the audience there's mousse served at the end of the buffet dinner. A lovely surprise but we were full.“

“Definitely the best cocktail bar in Astoria at this moment. Best place for a friend gathering or a date. The few places in Astoria where you can talk to someone without shouting over the music, while still having privacy with the volume level.The vibes, the exceptional service that you can’t really find anywhere, my group of 6 friends were accommodated last minute no problem. Rare find. Recommend to anyone looking for an intimate place in this area. Great bar selection!“

“Family restaurant with typical American food! We came for lunch around 3 p.m. - there was a bit of a wait and the room was full. Relatively noisy place. We had fried chicken with Mac and cheese on the side and ribs with mashed potatoes and green beans. Hot corn bread is served while waiting for the dishes with butter! It was very good condition, correct portions!We recommend !“

“This is the first pizza place I've been to in the U.S., and the owner couple kindly helped me with the bill. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable, so I want to go again. I thought it would be a greasy pizza, but it wasn't greasy. I ordered it thinking it was a Korean large size, but it was almost twice the size, so if you're Korean, be careful about the size.Really good to buy pizza, burger etc.“

“This place is such a great addition to the neighborhood. Great music with tons of music memorabilia to look at. Excellent food and drink but the real draw is the atmosphere. The owners are awesome too - they just want everyone to have a good time.“

“I have been going to G's for over 20 years. The food is excellent. I love the breakfast burrito with chorizo, and their tortas, and their flautas. Everything thing is outstanding. They make great coffee The service is awesome. Very nice.“

“We are huge fans of Peter Kelly's, but the little things need to be improved. We've gone to Kelly's places since the 90's, and are big believers, and X2O's lunch used to be the best buy in town. Like everything else the price has climbed, and it is no longer a great bargain, but it is still worth every penny at $36. The lunch menu has expanded, and even though we miss the risottos, the selection is ample, and the specials are terrific. What caused the rating to drop from five to four stars are two simple but vital things - the bread, which used to be a highlight, was very mediocre, and the coffee was weak, unusual for X2O. The food was spectacular, but the little things need to return to their usual high level.“

“Fabulous! You could spend so much money in here and never feel unhappy about it. Totally vegan it's actually quite large with lots of places to sit and just plants everywhere. if I had more money, I would buy myself every single plant and item they have here. lovely food, lovely staff, highly recommend! please support your neighborhood, vegan place.“

“I love this place. The chipotle chicken sandwich is amazing. The service is excellent. Humble interior, delicious food (try the wake and bake burger that has an egg and a hash brown) and reasonably priced. The servers have a great energy and are quick. As a local, I’d recommend this place to anyone around the area.“

“I went here for lunch on a week day with a friend. The staff immediately helped us with the door because I'm in a wheelchair. The place was pretty empty except for a group of old men in their seventies and eighties. I ordered the veal meatballs and the fig and goat cheese flatbread which was exquisite. They have a fantastic drink menu and their service is impeccable!“

“Super aesthetically pleasing interior with floral walls and dark green chairs. It's not a huge space but it's well thought out. Had the hibiscus margarita and the spicy Paloma, both refreshing drinks. The vegan cauliflower with pesto dish is a favorite. For entree, I had the surf and turf burrito. It came with a side salad. I did not have room for dessert but they had churros on the menu which I will have to try next time. Service was quick and the food came out pretty quickly.“

“OMG! I think I just found my favorite restaurant in NYC! Massive shout out to TOMAS! Who made tonight's dinner so special. The lamb, brussel sprouts, and the corn soup were phenomenal! Archer and Goat is the restaurant we've been looking for a long time - great food, great vibe, all at a reasonable price point. We can't wait to come back!!“

“What a delightful surprise. An inviting East Harlem locale with great music, cheerful and attentive staff. We will be dreaming of the tender lambchop appetizer on a scrumptious bed of couscous and labneh, and the salmon was perfectly cooked with an ultra-crispy skin. Lovely presentation. Give this neighborhood gem a try!“

“Perfect for dinner on a long drive home to NYC. The food was flavorful, comforting, and served in generous portions! Good value, good ambiance, felt very relaxed and taken care of. Loved the fresh homemade rolls. The chicken parm was excellent. Classic Italian American food and probably a great burger too (although we didn’t try that).“

“Sitting in Terravita completely removes you from the heights. Not in a bad way, but in an outta this world kind of way. Born and raised in the heights but this was the first time having dinner here. I must say the food was on point from appetizers to entree to dessert. Waiters are kind. Music gave us rave vibes. Drinks were delicious too! Super impressed with this restaurant.“

“Full marks across the board, everything on the extensive menu is great with the Irish mixed grill and the salmon being my favorites. The portions are huge the servers are all terrific and in the evenings and weekends there is always a lively atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to all food lovers and double recommend it to those on a budget“

“If you want a fresh crunchy pizza, you gotta check out this pizzeria! They are so nice and the orders are done pretty quick which is a big plus. It's very clean, and a great array of food choices + desserts. Definitely will be coming back. My daughters loved it. Thank you Bella Donna!“

“Ordered a salmon bowl and a side of plantains from here for delivery after finding out Lolo’s closed due to rent hikes (honestly screw landlords ?) but I can confidently say this place is gonna be my new plantain spot bc wow are they good.Salmon bowl was good too, pineapple rice was really delish (a little dry but I ordered the food like 30 mins before the store closed so they still get 5 stars bc dry rice towards the end of the day is just reality and the sauce from the salmon made up for it).Wok veggies were very fresh too (which is again impressive considering ordering right before closing time).“

“Arriving at 6:00 on a Saturday evening without reservations, my companion and I were delighted to be seated at a small booth in the bar area. Great seating, as it was comfortable and felt private. We each enjoyed a special cocktail, and appetizers of delicious cauliflower and truffle pizza and popcorn shrimp (complete with tiny crumbles of popcorn!) We then really enjoyed the chicken pot pie and cucumber and broccoli entre salad. Service was friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. Very fine experience. Look forward to returning soon.“

“— current review:The food is still amazing and so good that i would be back for it. but after speaking about this place to all of my friends and taking them there I was very disappointed with the service of this male server (dont recall nor made an effort to ask the name) but he was very “ironic” on the way to serve us and did not make us feel welcomed/comfortable like we always do. It felt like a weird interaction that all I wanted to do was eat and leave.— this was my previous review:Oh. My. God. This place is heaven on earth. I strongly recommend the pancakes and the jalapeño biscuit but honestly anything you order would probably be amazing as well.“

“Great cozy spot for a cold Sunday beer and grilled cheese. We got the Fun-ghi and Figgy Piggy and it was a good mix of sweet and salty. The shop has tons of fine foods for gifts or appetizers, a long fresh cheese bar, and craft beer to go. What more could you need!“

“We were nicely greeted at the front by the hostess, and then again at our table by the owner or manager. The staff couldn't be nicer. The food, service and the ambience were outstanding. When we first got there the acoustics were not great. It was noisy with the music playing and hard to hear one another. It was better when they switched to the piano playing.. The bathroom was clean and smell nice.I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.“

“Dinner on 02/01/2024.I had eaten at Jackson Hole before in 2015 at the (now closed) Bayside location, and ever since then I have always dreamed of returning here to eat their amazing burger again. For me, the one from Jackson Hole is the best in the world: big, tasty, succulent, I love it!! Also absolutely worth trying is the chilli with grated cheddar on top, a delight. And then the environment: this is the real American diner!! If you come to the USA, this is where you absolutely must eat at least once. You are great!!“

“I’ve *always* and will forever love this place and the staff there. Many years ago, my friend Jon and I went for lunch and not only was the food so delicious and comforting, we were given a free drink and lovely vibes. Today, I went back and he remembered me and gave me a hug and I bought a couple of things with elemental gold in it as well as sea moss and it just felt so right to go in and revisit the place. There are some other occasions like events that I went to there and it’s always fun and the food ?? I was offered a treat on the house but I was quite full, but it was really nice to be treated like I was a welcome guest and so for this, always 5 stars!“

“I came since I was freshman with my brother and still go now with my friend and we both love the food and drink and all the varieties of chips and snacks almost makes me indecisive on what to pick since there's so many options. Would go there everytime!“

“Came here with a friend from Brooklyn. It wasn't too busy. Got seated right away. We ordered eggs Benedict and chicken & waffles, and sweet potato fries. They have $7 Mimosas with 3-4 flavors. So the mimosas were pretty good. Tried 3 different flavors: passion fruit, lychee, and pineapple. We both really liked the lychee one. Although it was a touch sweeter than I would have liked. My friend liked her eggs Benedict. Basically licked the plate. We chowed down on the fries. Although neither of us cared much for the sauce that came with it. So we had them bring us ketchup. It's hard to find a place that makes a good chicken & waffles. Their waffle was good, balanced with flavor good texture. The chicken was good too. Breaded nicely, tasty and moist inside. Wish they gave maple syrup with it though or just honey. They gave me some over processed syrup like log cabin but it was fine Service was great too. Our server was on it. She always appeared at the right time. Just when our drinks were getting low or if we had a question. Food also came out at a nice pace. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“TO THE OWNER: As a fellow business owner, you know Good help is hard to find, but you have the GOLDEN help. Sam and Steph are effin AMAZING. I was there last night with the multiple party of 5-6 vs Me alone they still made sure I was good, if I needed anything and fixed any small hiccups I had with my order.Food: Well cooked, great BUT my only issue was the fact the kitchen communicate to Stephanie they didn't have my request sauces, buffalo or Mango H. and just gave me plain but even when waiters really picked it up and got me "hot" sauce on the side.For Anyone wondering pricing on my orderx2- 6 pcs Wingsx1- cocktailTotal: $32+ optionally gave 57% tip.Good luck to your business and I wish you the best “

“Kingston Bakery has been my spot for beef patties since they’ve opened and I’m never disappointed. It wasn’t until I tried the actual entrees that I was completely hooked. The oxtails are so good and the stewed chicken is absolutely bussin!! If you haven’t stopped by now I’d the time and the portions are great too.“

“Whether part of a group or on a solo visit, welcome is given. The staff are attentive, engaging, friendly and humorous. They truly make an effort to ensure that the customers return. The kitchen is tiny, yet the food is tasty.Dietary restrictions: When you share your dietary restrictions with the staff, they listen and advise which dishes are suitable. It is a relief to be heard and accommodated.“

“Every time I come to NYC I go to Step in. The drinks are amazing (good prices), the food is good, and the atmosphere is amazing. The DJ comes in at about 6:30pm, and that's when the party starts. People get up to dance, and the Dj takes requests.“

“Yes Mama is one of the best discoveries of Astoria this year!Jessica runs the business all by herself and does a damn good job of it! Not only did she cook homemade Puerto Rican recipes, but she hires entertainment along with having a great selection of wine.I had the Carne Guisada (beef stew with white rice) and it felt like I was eating a mother’s cooking. Paired it with a couple glasses of Rosasera and a lovely Latin jazz band playing in the background and it was heaven. There were even some board games for us the play with while we waited on our food.Topped off the night by splitting a plate of the coquito flan served with the most adorable heart shaped spoons. It was so rich and decadent.If you live in or venture out to Astoria, please please please pay this place a visit! You’ll be so happy you did!“

“The food was good but our waiter that day was not so good she was very unfocused and did not come to our table at all to see if we needed napkins more coffee or anything but either way the food was hitting and it was great food experience. My kids loved the robot that hands out the food and the games they have in front I would definitely come back but just know it's a bit pricy.“

“The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. My lady and I went in for lunch and I had the Chicken and Broccoli which was great and my GF had the Fish Tacos. Also, try the truffle fries and the chicken wings lemon pepper. We'll be back“

“Ramro made my birthday celebration dinner so special! The food was of course delicious, but what really made the experience outstanding was how kind and warm everyone was. There were so many thoughtful touches that made it feel really homey. The space is beautiful and intimate, the food so tasty, and service impeccable. I can’t wait to come back!“

“I live in the neighborhood and all the restaurants in this street have loud music during the week which imposes a lack of conversation and chilling out when you’re having a drink or an appetizer and a restaurant and restaurants now unfortunately have loud music and it makes you feel stressed and uncomfortable not being able to enjoy yourself having a drink and listening to your thoughts. So I’ve discovered this is a place if you want to chill out atmosphere with great drinks, a great bartender and the music is out of lab where you can actually have a conversation not only with the service staff but with other people next year, so I recommend it’s not only for happy hour during the week and such.“

“Uncle Peter’s was a wonderful dining experience! The service was great. Our entrees included the grilled skirt steak and pesto gnocchi. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the pesto gnocchi was very delicious— a great vegetarian option. The crème brûlée was fantastic, and delicious cocktails as well. Everything was top notch quality and there is nothing better than that ✨ would 100% come back and recommend to others ?“

“when you enter the interior is kind of odd with one table inside along with a few window seats (two tables outside) but don’t let that turn you away. the food was fresh & tasty.I ordered the Chilaquiles & the grilled chicken caesar wrap. the Chilaquiles had a wonderful green sauce & lots of yummy cheese. the caesar wrap was jam packed with fresh crunchy lettuce, avocado, caesar dressing, & grilled chicken.(side note, the fries were delicious too! thin, crispy, & seasoned well!)it’s a small business folks…food takes time. this isn’t fast food mediocrity!the service was great & attentive. it’s a solid choice! Will come again :)“

“Was not impressed and don't need to go again. Our food was cold and the order was wrong. It was freezing outside and they had the door open so we had to eat in our coats. The shake is topped with cool whip not real whipped cream and the whole experience is not worth the cost.“

“My family and I decided to dine at the Northend Food Hall last Friday, following a friend's recommendation. Despite the crowd, mainly families with young children, and the noise, we eventually secured a table for four. Our orders included birria tacos and Mexican Elote from La Chula Taqueria, a burger with fries from Harlem Public, and a Dominican pizza from the renowned Wahizza. The food surpassed our expectations; my son particularly enjoyed the birria tacos and Mexican Elote. Personally, I found nostalgia in the Dominican Pizza, reminiscent of my childhood in the Dominican Republic. Additionally, my wife indulged in a frozen margarita from the bar, thoroughly relishing it. Overall, our dining experience exceeded expectations, and we're eager to return and explore more culinary delights.“

“This place is really different. I love the Vinyl when you come in. The hostess was pleasant and told us to wait at the bar. The bartender immediately came over and showed us how to scan the cocktail menu. The atmosphere is young and loud. The table service was amazing. The young lady who attended us made accommodations for us without a fuss. The food was good. The Sangria was flowing. Did not feel rushed. All in all a great experience. I live in South Jersey but I would definitely come back!!!❤️❤️❤️“

“1st timers and the food, the atmosphere, the staff, the comic book shpeal...all of it...we loved! However the music caan be a lil bit lower just cus it's brinner lol Now I doo wanna come a lil later to get my dance on cus the music was also banging!

“the friendly neighborhood pub you imagine from TV shows. the staff are super friendly and welcoming. we always have a good time enjoying a drink and laughs. there are darts and pool in the back, too! can’t recommend highly enough for get togethers small and large.“

“Shami was very helpful and patient with me - airports can be stressful but they did their best at making sure they give me time to order and answer any questions I might have . The shake shack is in a airport so the environment can be off but over all great experience :-)“

“First visit here specifically for wine. Was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the wine choices. The bartenders were friendly, lighting, romantically dim❤️ and live jazz to top it off. The happy hour wine was also great! The happy hour oysters were surprisingly meaty! Pasta was yummy! Will be returning to say the least!“
