50 Best American Restaurants in Staten Island

“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 !“

“My girlfriend Mary and I celebrated her birthday at The Basement, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was truly phenomenal and the service was excellent—warm, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. The atmosphere made the night feel special, and everything we ordered exceeded expectations. I recommend making a reservation and giving yourself a little extra time for parking in the area. You really need to go—this restaurant is exceptional.“

“This was our third Easter going to the old Bermuda Inn and it gets better each year! The food is delicious and there is so much for the kids including the easter bunny and cookie decorating. The Easter bunny at the old Bermuda Inn is truly the best one we have seen and made it so special for our son.“

“Allison was wonderful. This is our second time having her as our waitress. Our three year old son remembered her because she acted out sesame street voices for him last time lol! She has a great personality and is very attentive to us ! we highly recommend asking for her.“

“We’ve been to Violets on many occasions..it’s our go to place for great food and the staff are phenomenal! I highly recommend Violets and look forward to dining there again soon !“

“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 cast 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!!!“

“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.“

“I ordered for the first time last night. I ordered pick up and the food was hot and fresh upon picking up. we ordered the garlic knot Sicilian, my kids loved it and it in general the pizza was good . we ordered the boneless wings also were good. the pork ribs amazing just wish they had dry rub options. spinach and artichoke dip, cheese needed to melt but flavor was good and large portion. potato croquettes were also delish and come with sauce . the staten island chicken panini and twisted were also delish! beef empanadas a lil soggy but more from transport but flavor was good . (maybe dff type of container or poke holes in future ) we also had a frozen sangria that I wished after we had ordered more.. will def order again!“

“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.“

“Nice place, friendly staff and friendly customers“

“Was so happy to visit this location! I was able to create my own meal to fit my current diet!! Staff is so friendly and helpful and they were so patient with my kids! My salad was so fresh and the chicken was organic so a huge plus! My kids loved the smoothies and another huge plus they are made with real fruit and no syrups or any of that. Love that I can eat here any day of the week, depending on what I'm in the mood for!! and LOVE the option to customize anything!“

“Food is always good and always great service!!“

“I always order from here because of my fitness lifestyle allergies since fuel cooks with clean ingredients. I threw my husband a surprise party and decided to cater from fuel and was so impressed. Every guest at the party said they rather cater from
There than anywhere else and it was amazing. The food was fresh and stayed for hours every single thing was gone by the end of the night. So happy to have a clean ingredient place like this on Staten Island to order from!“

“I am a fan of Farm to Bagel...I have Celiac and the GF options are amazing! However, in my last 2 visits, including today, they made my food on the gluten grill. I had to point it out to them to remake it. Which they did, no problem...but what if someone who didn't know ate the food? I sent my sister from Boston there, she'd have no idea! That'd be a fine ride back home! Please, Farm to Bagel, do a better.job educating the staff!!! We GF-ers depend on you!“
