50 Best American Restaurants near Woodhaven

“The restaurant has changed its name to No 1 Chinese restaurant and we ordered two simple dishes from them last week as a trial. Roast pork egg foo young and shrimp with garlic sauce. The food was competent though the shrimp was very sweet . The delivery came within 15 minutes and it was a weekend night! The food was hot and good. I hope they keep it up!We ordered agin and the food wads good a second time! we can hope it sstays that way.“

“We had an amazing experience here this evening. The atmosphere was extremely relaxing and chill. The simple artistic decor creates a serene atmosphere. The food is delicious. We especially loved the beef tartar, duck, miso cod, milk bread, and shirt rib. Sticky toffee pudding was rich, but somewhat delicate. Cocktails were well balanced. Everyone was extremely attentive and the attention to detail made the entire experience one to cherish. I highly recommend this place. It's tucked away, but worth the trip. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“I feel guilty for wanting this place all to myself because it's so good. The staff handled my children's requests with grace. This place distinguishes itself clearly. Their menu offerings and service quality merit top rating. You should taste what this spot offers once.“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“This was my second time coming here. First experience was great. This experience was just okay. Our waitress was very aggressive when it came to ordering our food. Which I thought was strange since brunch was over at 4:30 (according to the website). We sat down a little pass 2pm. One of our friends was late and was rushed to order as well (we were still well within the time frame of brunch). The next problem was the waitress said we had to pay a 20% tip because of the size of our group which was six people. My thing is if that's the case it should automatically be added on the bill (that's what a lot of restaurants do). Still unsure about the 20 % tip because I checked the website and didn't see that information. We were hounded because we wanted to pay a different tip based on the service. The tipping amount is supposed to be based on how well the service was. This service didn't deserve 20%. The 20% was paid but we weren't happy about paying it. I'm disappointed because like I said my first experience for brunch here was great. The previous waitress was super nice and welcoming. We didn't feel rushed at all. Based on this recent experience I don't think me and my friends will be coming back here.“

“Waiter was extra kind and friendly!! Meal was delicious. Thanksgiving away from home. Atmosphere very nice.“

“We came here on a Sunday early afternoon and had one of our best recent dining experience. We live close by so we went in hoping it would be a gem and it absolutely didnt dissappoint. The garlic naan might just be the best we’ve ever had. The mussels were very fresh and not sure if it’s the season but the flesh was super fat. The sauce it was cooked in was also very very good. Dipping the naan in that sauce was straight heaven. We also ordered the rotisserie chicken, which we thought was a bit pricey at first but man, it was cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy skin, JUICY all throughout, with grilled lemons and a decent sauce. The service was also phenomenal. Our server had great energy, and provided us the perfect balance of attentiveness and space.
The vibe of this place is also top notch. The modest exterior is only hiding the spaceous, modern, and elegant interior.
Overall, we could not be more thrilled about this find and will definitely be coming back to try their drinks and sea bass dish! Highly recommended for an absolute treat.“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Great atmosphere and service“

“Super unique and delicious maple praline brown butter pancakes! More cake than pancake. The wait was not long to get a table and the service was prompt, professional, courteous, and didn’t leave us in want of anything. All of our needs were met. Food was prepared much quicker than expected and was all very good! I would definitely recommend this!“

“The food is phenomenal!! That’s it, that’s all!!“

“nice service,,🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍💪💪🤳🤳🤳🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🤝“

“From our first steps to our departure, everything was AMAZING. This saturday evening was out last in NYC before returning to Montreal and The Smith Midtown made it PERFECT. The food was more than we could even expect. The seafood tower is quite an experience, treat yourself! Thank you to everyone at the front desk, including the managers, because they made us laughed a lot and were so nice to us. Big thanks to our server too. A must in NYC!“

“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“es un muy buen restaurante con un buen servicio tiene un personal muy capacitado son muy amables y los platillos que están en el menú son muy delicios los platillos bendiciones“

“This restaurant is built on a philosophy I want to applaud. Vegetable-forward dishes. Farm to table freshness. Clear expressions of flavour in each dish. And it works. This is fine dining that also puts you at ease as a customer. Service is polite, prompt, but never overbearing. The dishes like being reintroduced to old friends. Familiar flavours that are so much more alive than you expect. Delightful.“

“My friends, check out the chefs menu.
Come hungry and leave delightfully pleased. Chef was a legend and everything was cooked to perfection.
Took my lady here for her bday and decided with the sampler/chefs choice. Could not be more pleased.
Professional, delicious, and attentive.
Love this place and will be taking friends and work folk here soon.
Check it out you will not be disappointed unless you are a little puss.
Really great stuff and orange hat chef you killed it. Thanks again.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere at“

“Solid breakfast burritos and great tortillas, which are like gold here. I haven’t tried anything else on the menu yet, but it’s just a matter of time - the salads look awesome. I moved here from Texas a year ago and love everything about the city (except for the rent), but I do miss Tex Mex and good tortillas. New Mexican is its own cuisine and sure hits the spot while also being healthier, and those tortillas are a game changer. So glad to have found this place, just had breakfast from here, and am already looking forward to going back.“

“This place is incredible. The atmosphere, the food, service, just everything is top notch. The crab cake here was probably the best I have ever eaten.

The drinks here have classic NYC prices, but the Monkey Bar martini was ridiculously good.“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable. I am a true New Yorker and difficult to please - I am not a tourist - and this is definitely a 5 star must experience restaurant. Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!“

“We are always pleasantly surprised by Parker + Quinn and today was no exception! I am a huge fan of their kale Caesar (add hangar steak!) and today it was perfectly made yet again. Amazing!“

“Had a great late breakfast complete with Mimosas and Alfie’s Amber Ale- all served by our awesome bartender Niamh from Ireland!!!“

“Great vibe, outstanding food and excellent service. What a top NYC restaurant should be.“

“Had on of the best Burgers of my life here last week! Cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and served with truffle parm fries. 10/10
We also had the Bacon Wrapped Dates, and the Brussel Sprouts which were also delicious. For dessert I highly recommend their frozen yogurt! is was so refreshing.

Over all, we had a fantastic experience.“

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“The staff was extremely helpful“

“Have been there a handful of times and always had good food and good times.
Got there on a Monday @ 5p when they opened figuring we would get a table easily … only to find a line halfway down the block. We still DID get a table but it was close!
Get the chicken parm and the mozz sticks.“

“Such fun and unexpected food. We had only 3 dishes: fish head terrine, lentils with eel and whole mackerel. Great preparation and seasoning. Didn’t go for any of the limited dessert offerings. Space is rather dull. Staff and server were delightful. Recommend thus restaurant for adventurous pescatarians“

“Margie’s is no doubt a favorite of mine! It’s always a go to for my family and I when we want a relaxing atmosphere with good food, service, and drinks. From the welcoming staff, to the delicious food, it is always a pleasure to dine at Margie’s. Manager PJ always welcomes patrons with a smile as well as good conversation. We always look forward to his company and warm welcome! Definitely check out Margie’s next time you want a great night out with family and friends!“

“Great bartenders, Jonathan, Roman and Jorge always provide a fun time there! The burger was glistening when it came out but really, the welcoming and friendly crowd made the night. The atmosphere there was one that I haven't felt in a while. Everyone I rubbed elbows with, was looking to have fun and enjoyed each other's company. Truly a special place, and the bartender states that Thursday nights are busier than Fridays! Get a seat at the bar and you’re in for a great time!“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“We got seated right away. We were a party of six and they had no problems feeding us. The server was very kind and very nice. He continually checked on us and asked us if he needed anything. It took about 5 minutes before he took drinks and food. The OG was very good and it came with a Caesar salad that was delicious. I would not recommend the rigatoni with pesto unless you're getting it. As aside. It is very filling. Also, the tables were very sticky. Overall, I would recommend this if you need a quick place to eat.“

“I want to work for Applebee's again I was with the company 3 years serving and was losing my apartment one day I mentioned to manager Guillermo of Hackensack NJ Applebee's that I had to leave because the police was at my house doing eviction and he wouldn't let me go. I turned in the restaurant money and left because what do you do when ur in the middle of an eviction and your boss wasn't being understanding or reasonable?...... I went to attend my personal situation with my apartment at the time and he then red flagged me from working for Doherty ent. Again .....is there a way I can get a fair hearing and get back to working with the company I started ever serving at my first time ever?“

“The amazing food and professional service is what I rely on for special moments I want to enjoy whole-heartedly.“

“I recently had a delightful dining experience at Leland Eating and Drinking House in Brooklyn. Starting with a refreshing porter beer from the tap, I then savored the incredible Japanese sweet potato, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The highlight of the meal was the Porchetta Sandwich with ZA'ATAR CHIPS. Encased in their soft and freshly made bread, the sandwich was a symphony of flavors, perfectly complemented by the crispy and tasty house-made chips. Each bite was a testament to their commitment to using high-quality ingredients and crafting memorable dishes. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy exceptional food. I look forward to returning to Leland Eating and Drinking House to explore more of their enticing menu offerings! 10 star review!!!“
