50 Best American Restaurants in Staten Island

“Great food, excellent service and good music. A really cool bar well worth a visit.“

“Went here to watch as the Jets disappoint us all again for another loss (good game). Staff is great, food is good. Got a district burger and fries. Fries were excellent burger is good. Bartender was nice and attentive. Beer on tap was good, can't go wrong with a Guinness. Didn't personally care for the DJ playing "music" during commercials and halftime but didn't ruin the experience. Other than the drunk girl who was fairly promptly escorts out for adamantly asking strangers to buy her a drink the whole experience was quite pleasant.“

“Just got back from a thoroughly enjoyable meal at Shaw-naé’s House on Van Duzer. The sangria was plentiful, the food was fresh, hot and tasty, the wait staff attentive, and the ambience was perfecto (my wife sang to ALL the songs!). Too full for dessert, but I was eyeing that peach cobbler! Next time!“

“Sat at the bar and CT was serving. She provided awesome service !“

“Had such an amazing time when I went with my friends. They are so kind and they gave us so many recommendations for what to get. This place was recommended to us by a coworker and we are so glad that we went. 10 out of 10 I definitely will be returning.“

“Wonderful place excellent staff and food was amazing“

“My daughter had her engagement party here a few weeks ago. Everyone- and I mean everyone - was wonderful and truly a pleasure to work with. From Mike who sat with her to get it all on the calendar and get the ball rolling to all the individuals who were preparing the room when we arrived to start getting all the decorations up and all. Tara supervised all the servers and made sure they were on top of everything - and they were. Shout out to server Madison (sweet girl). And, the food was *absolutely* delicious!
Thank you Mike, Laurie, Cindy and Josephine. All of you made her party a success. You were all a pleasure to deal with and she was very happy with how it all went. She sends you many thanks!
Anyone thinking of hosting a party should definitely consider The Historic Old Bermuda Inn. You'll be happy you did.“

“Visited a restaurant for the birthday party in May 2022. Clean, welcomed staff, good service, a lot of parking on the street. We placed an order. It was not too long, which is good because the reservation was for 6:30 pm and everybody was hungry. Appetizers were delicious especially both types of calmers. 3 people ordered NYS trip stakes. OMG! All 3 stakes were stingy. Nobody finished the stake. Medium and well done came up the same. Black color even tongue was black after eating the steak. It's because when cooked the steak did not clean the grail. Also, I recommend checking your receipt. We found 3 items that we did not get on the table for a total of almost $80. One of them we never ordered, and two newer ones were delivered to the table.“

“Review the menus. You are in for a treat. I will share with you both the dinner and today, a delicious luncheon experience. Chef Eddie is to be praised for professional cooking talents. Delicious!
The warm and helpful approach of the entire staff by phone and in person is refreshing. Old Staten Island is still with us. Thank you, Chef Eddie Canlon and staff. Loretta DePalo“

“Always the best food- staff is great and for being a neighborhood bar…love the ‘all is welcome’ type atmosphere. Some of the best pup food on island“

“We ate at the Point Tavern this past Saturday night after reading other reviews. We were seated promptly. Ordered two appetizers; hush puppies & street corn shrimp. The bang bang sauce was very tasty on everything. I loved that they were served on car iron pans (nice touch). Then came out roast beef sandwiches, one with a pretzel bun, other the ciabatta. OMG. The best, savory, melt in your mouth flavor bomb roast beef we have ever had. We will definitely be going back!!!“

“I had such a wonderful time at Applebee's with my family. Our waitress Mikaila was wonderful and sweet. The assistant manager Derek also came by to ask us if everything was well. I love they were both attentive and gave us a great time. Good was well cooked despite the busy hour I came in. Would recommend 10/10“

“Cozy and fun great beers great jukebox music. And never overly crowded ever. Love the entire menu. Great homemade chips. Delicious burghers.“

“We had an intimate Repast at Farington's Cafe after the sudden death of my nephew. We were all so impressed with the food... a delicious salad and one of the best penne vodka dishes ever. These were followed by the main course...choice of lemon sole, flank steak or chicken parm. Each and every dish was superb! Beyond this, the compassion shown by the staff was so consoling. I recommend this restaurant to all. You will thank me!“

Staff was quick to remove plates when the next course was ready to be served and the bartender on our side of the room made the rounds to each table to see who wanted a refill on their beverage. It was fun celebration.“

Really great prepared foods, hot bar and baked goods.“

“Michael and the entire staff is always a pleasure to work with. Bartenders are on point making everyone has a cocktail quickly. Love the hospitality. LGR!!! 👊💥🏴‍☠️“

“I have been to Paradise Island once at the recommendation of an amazing beautiful woman that I don’t even know (jewelzbyDesiree) Upon arriving I immediately felt welcomed and comfortable, not like I wasn’t feeling judged like some other restaurants make you feel. I ordered pasta with sausage and broccolirabe and my bestie had some chicken dish that she is still raving about. The food and service are bar none to any other restaurant in Staten Island. The waitress made us feel like family but it was never like she was intrusive when she did come to check on us. The price was more affordable than expected as I alone know I had at least 3 martinis. I can not recommend this place more. This is coming to you from a 💯 Staten Island girl and food snob.“

“We went tonight, 1/11/23 after work at around 4:30 and we’re very pleased not only with our food, but our waitress was great! She listened to everything we wanted and we got everything exactly how we wanted it….she was very good! Thank you to Martha for excellent service…..👍“

“Best jalapeño poppers on the island Service impeccable“

“Beautiful ambiance and great customer service!!“

“appetizers were plentiful. Burgers were huge. I couldn't finish it. Delicious. Great staff too“

“We just left. I had the house salad followed by a medium rare ribeye, my daughter had the Caesar salad, and a medium rare NY Strip my husband had the steak tips volcano (not sure that is the correct name) All of it was perfectly prepared. We Finished dinner with a to die for pecan pie and crème brûlée. Both the food and service were exceptional.“

“As long time S&T customers, we've been searching for a replacement, and this is it. As far as I can tell, this is one of the few local bagel places that gets the nice exterior crunch and soft inside :) I'd say maybe the bagels (and the veggie cream cheese) are a notch less good than S&T, but very happy to have found this place.“

“I eat here for breakfast, lunch or dinner at least once a week for the past few months. Sometimes (most times) 4-5x a week. The food is delicious & the smoothies are perfect. (warning they are addicting) I lost over 25 lbs in 4 months. They really know how to make good food taste good. All of the staff is very friendly and patient with my annoying requests. I would like to specifically thank anna for always being so kind and asking literally every single time how is/was everything making sure my experience stays good. Half the time i forget to ask for a side of honey mustard or barbecue and if she’s the one taking the order she always remembers to throw one in there. Small things like that will keep a happy customer forever. Thank you all for this amazing establishment!“

“Great family owned establishment“
