New American Restaurants near Keansburg, NJ

“One of the best Jamaican restaurants I've visited. We ordered the large oxtail meal + medium jerk chicken + beef patties.First off, the pricing and portions are On. Point. The portions are generous, particularly with the oxtail. Both oxtail and jerk chicken were beautiful seasoned, moist and smokey (jerk chicken). The cabbage definitely had some TLC added in as well! The yellow rice was cooked very well. Extremely impressed with this restaurant and will be back when I'll on town again.“

“Soul Kitchen is amazing! Our students love working with the great staff and always feel welcome and learn great skills and life lessons. The student favorite part of the soul Kitchen experience is of course the delicious food made by Chef Emily and her staff. The Matawan Regional staff and students want to thank Bon Jovi and all his supporters for a great experience and relationship!“

“From the moment Drew opened his doors in his original location we quickly became fans. This creative Chef who works magic with food has turned Drew’s Bayshore Bistro into one of the most popular restaurants to eat at. People come from all over to enjoy and will take any time slot available to do so. We have eaten here more times than I can count and have had many group dinners and celebrations. Drew’s new location is beyond beautiful and only a stone’s throw from his prior place. We just love the feel of the new home and the beautiful ambiance. it’s absolutely gorgeous from street view and fits perfectly into Keyport’s historic vibe. The food is also over the top insanely incredible. Oh yes I have favorites. The scallops are perfectly sautéed, tender juicy and was served with pesto risotto. A true explosion of flavor. Broiled oysters are one of the most incredible thing I’ve ever tasted and honestly could eat two portions for my main, but haven’t done that yet as there are so many things to try. Pork chops, steaks, soft shell crabs, voodoo shrimp, homemade ice cream and all his special makes it hard to choose what to order. Incredible list of specials are always offered. Menu changes for seasonal favorites. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I look at the menu. We are very thankful to Drew for sharing his vision and providing all of us with a delectable dinning experience each time we eat here. Five stars are not enough!“

“Forget the fried chicken , forget the name of this place: get the mixed platter. Get the kabobs. Amazing flavor. Some of the best food I've ever eaten, and I eat a LOT of food. Everything we ordered was amazing. And we didn't order any fried chicken“

“I've eaten at the Rise n Shine on occasion and find it's no frills local hometown vibe inviting. I prefer sitting at the counter old school and watching the traffic go by as I enjoy a delicious omlette. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is excellent.“

“We have been to Fresh a number of times, they consistently have excellent food and the staff is great. The atmosphere is relaxed, maybe a little loud, but that is because everyone is having a great time. I know we always have a great time there, we will continue going.“

“Went to Salt Creek for early New Year's eve Has a wonderful time prime rib was delicious. Mark was very welcoming just a great evening“

“We had our anniversary dinner here and were pleased by the offerings on the menu but the specials were amazing. We loved the dessert we had but there are so many delicious options. We were happy with the BYOB. The service was great. Recommend for a great meal experience or to celebrate something special.“

“Great service every time I’ve been there“

“Love the farm to table concept and ever changing menu. But...much aroma with not enough substance. Second time we've returned food to kitchen as it was cold. Pork chop is a venerable go to. Lamb shank lacked flavor. This place isn't bad it's just not up to where it could be. And that's a shame because we really want to go more.“

“Everything was fantastic as usual. Love going there and love the BYOB.“

“A nice casual local family spot if you're looking for a decent meal at a reasonable price. The Grandma pie is excellent, especially if well-done. We've also had their garlic knots, zucchini sticks and several different dinners - including some nightly specials. Portions are generous and come out hot. Dinner salads are fresh and served cold. Water and soft drinks are large. Comfortable and clean dining area with booths and tables. Friendly vibe.“

“I literally go here an average of once every seven days. The service and food is always outstanding. This place will never disappoint. Mark was my server last night. He was exceptional and a pleasure. BYOB is always a plus. Definitely a great place. It is always our go to place.“

“I recently tried Maloneys on Main and had their patty melt, which was delicious. The flavors melted together perfectly, creating a satisfying meal. I sat at the bar and paired it with a blond beer, which I don't typically drink, and it was a surprisingly great combination. Overall, Maloneys on Main is a great spot for a tasty meal and drinks.“

“Triumph was a great location for our rehearsal dinner! We were able to rent out the space with two pool tables (which entertained the kids and adults for the whole evening) and a dart board. The drinks were served in the space so no one had to leave to go up to the bar and wait, and the food was amazing. The vibes were right in line with us and we are so thankful to all the staff for being so great!“

“Dinner was great and innovative and made Perfectly. Pear Salad very good. Vegetable pasta dish was wonderful. Unique and so creative. Ryan our waiter, checked on us often and so Polite. He knew the menu well. Habe been customer for many years and recommend it often. Great for lunch and dinner is excellent! Thank you!“

“Grabbed a drink here before a show at Count Basie. Greeted promptly by the bartender, asked if I wanted another round with great timing, she was friendly and courteous. Pricing was fair. The bar was a bit busy but probably because there was a show that night. Didn't rate the food because I didn't eat here.“

“We chose to have our rehearsal dinner here and it was the best decision! The wine room was perfect and they had it decorated for Valentine's day which was beautiful. All of our guests are still saying how delicious the food was! Corey was so easy to work with and made sure our night was perfect.“

“The best dinner ever from apps to dessert! Thanks to our server Alex who made it even more enjoyable! She was great“

“If I tell you how wonderful the place, the people, the plates are will you promise not to go? It’s hard enough snagging a reservation without hoards of people trying to book a table after reading justifiably rave reviews. OK, here goes. Agnolotti pasta and sweet potato hush puppies as appetizers to start and oh, what a start it was. Monk fish and a bacon-jam encrusted pork chop, both cooked to perfection, as entrees. Lemon tart and a you-gotta-try-it-once-in-your-life “budino,” for dessert. (Do you know stressed spelled backwards is desserts?) What’s a budino you ask? Adult pudding, whipped by angels, so addictive it must have been created by Satan. Farm to Table, fresh, sustainable, local, tucked away on a side street in Red Bank… and you get to bring your own favorite wine. Don’t go. Don’t tell your friends. Let this gem be all mine.“

“Friendly little dinner. I can see why locals like it. It's convenient, quick, and relatively cheap. Everything was bland though. It still blows me away how easy it is for restaurants like this that can still undercook and underseason home fries. There is nothing special about this place. Just another average dinner. Also, it's cash only. That's not a problem. I'm just letting anyone know who reads this that, that's a thing.“

“Excellent service, great food, and wonderful entertainment! Great hidden gem in Middletown!“

“Apple Street Kitchen is a little, neighborhood gem. It’s slightly off the beaten track. After you discover it, I promise you’ll become a fan for life. They are known for using the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. They do try to refresh their menu every season. That way it stays current. Check them out if you’re looking for a cute breakfast or lunch place. They also have outdoor seating in their garden area in the warmer months.“

“My wife and I recently got married at the Wine Bar & had a fantastic experience. Courtney Rosa and her attentive staff made our special day easy & enjoyable. The service was excellent, the food was top notch (with many complements from the guests) and the atmosphere was exactly what we wanted.We both want to thank all of those involved in making “our day” a memory for a life time.Without a doubt, book your next party at the Wine Bar. You won’t be disappointed.Sincerely,Laura & Ben“

“Barnacle Bill’s is an absolute staple of the Rumson area and is a must visit. It’s a bar/tavern/grog shop that is somewhat trapped in time but in the absolute best way. It’s dark, loud and crowded but it just feels perfect. Burgers are charbroiled and the steak fries are great. Service is surprisingly good and the people watching is even better. I’m really happy places like this still exist.“

“We've been looking for a local burger place in the area for takeout and this restaurant was recommended. We were not disappointed. Their burgers are delicious and the onion rings were hot and fresh. My sons don't always finish their burgers but they did this time.“

“I came here on a Sunday to enjoy a birthday brunch with my family and had a great experience. All the food was delicious, (the pernil tostada is a must have!) and the mimosa pitcher was a great deal for the table. Our waitress was very friendly and did a great job checking in with us during our meal and making sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be back to enjoy another weekend brunch.“

“Was passing through for work and swung by to grab a bite before heading home. Unassuming from the outside, but a nicely decorated inside. I sat at the bar and got solid, albeit a touch slow, service. Had to wait a while to order after I wasn't ready right away, and again for the check, but the bar tender was solo so definitely will extend some grab. I got the sweet potato and volcano rolls and they were both really good. Fresh, flavorful. Thought the price was good too for the quality. Overall a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to stop by again!“

“I was in the Houlihan in brick on Friday afternoon, April 26th. our server, Eric was fantastic. He was very personable very professional very kind and I believe he is an asset to your company. Please please give kudos to Eric and recognize him as he totally deserves it. He also deserves a raise.“

“MJ's is great place to go for happy hour. It's also not to be missed during the summer. Their outdoor dining setup is absolutely amazing. Right on the lake, they have plenty of outdoor seating and the background is so nice! The food in and of itself is pretty basic. This is not where the foodies and 5 star eaters go. However, for a nice lunch or happy hour drinks, this place does the trick! Typical bar food, some sushi options and sugary cocktails. The service is always decent and the place is huge so the waits are never very long. They also have banquet halls so you will often see weddings, private parties etc which can be nice if you like to people watch. They also have a DJ on weekend nights which can be nice but annoying if you are just coming for dinner. Not a date spot, but a great spot for a casual hang.“

“Absolutely amazing if I could give more stars I would and OMG their crepes was OMG ?% the best ever!!! Real family kinda place too also another kinda "cheers" kinda place all gen x knows what I mean when I say that - minus the booze lol just really warm and welcoming nice place to meet up with ol buddiesKid-friendliness: Family orientedWheelchair accessibility: Parking for handicap and wheelchair ramp on site“

“It is a nice place to go with your family. The staff are attentive. Their pizzas are thin crust but they are very good. We had burgers, wings, calamari and fries and they were great. It is definitely a place I go to anytime I am around the area.“

“I ate here but didn't stay here. I don't know if they have lodging or if they had lodging ages ago. Nice pub with a menu better than what you would expect for a pub and tasty. No 5 star restaurant, but when looking for pub food with a TV in view regardless of where you are seated, this is the place.“
