50 Best American Restaurants near Kearny

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“I have never been an Applebees person but I went there with my granddaughter and found that the food menu is better than it used to be. I had the shrimp and sausage with penne pasta. SO GOOD…
The drinks are still a bit “weak” but they were good tasting. The service was good too considering that our waiter had a whole section to work by himself.
Overall, I enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. I will be returning again.“

“First time for me and my boyfriend, went to celebrate his birthday and no regrets at all. One of the best meals, everything was perfect and tasty, Maiara our server was very sweet and helpful. Definitely going back.“

“My favorite thing on the menu would be a tie for the Sriracha Chicken Panini or the Spinach Salad, but everything that I have gotten here is wonderful. The staff is always friendly and always has a smile on their face. The designs they do in your macchiatto or cappuccino are so cool, ask for a design and you wont be disappointed.“

“Order from here a lot since it's a few blocks away from where I live. They're nice people who make good food. Even give you some extras if you order enough food. Definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking for some good American Chinese food.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my reservation at Linden’s!

A small group of us were there to celebrate a friends birthday. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, the service was nothing short of amazing, and every dish we ordered was delicious!

I will be back again soon : )“

“Crown Shy, located near Wall Street in downtown Manhattan, is a remarkable Michelin-starred restaurant that seamlessly blends modern culinary innovation with subtle European and Asian influences. Each dish we sampled was a testament to the chef’s skill and dedication—crafted with genuine passion and executed to perfection.

The experience began with warm, inviting bread that set the tone for the evening. The oysters were a standout, fresh and brimming with oceanic flavor. For our mains, the Branzino and pork katsu were absolute highlights. Both were beautifully cooked, with rich, nuanced flavors in the proteins themselves and the accompanying sauces that elevated each bite.

To finish, a lovely ice cream dessert brought a perfect close to an extraordinary meal. Crown Shy offers a more accessible and relaxed take on Michelin-starred dining in New York City—truly an experience I highly recommend.“

“That’s really nice restaurant“

“Impeccable service. The hanger steak….❤️“

“the next time I make love to my wife, I'll be thinking about the burger I ate here. phenomenal!“

“I wanted to come to Chambers for a long time now and hopefully I did ! The restaurant is amazing. The staff was great. As for the food, it was marvelous. I took a main plus a side and a dessert, which was more than enough for one person. Everything was delicious. I recommend this place a 100% !“

“This place is right next to the Hamptonn Inn in Elizabeth which is pretty convenient. It wasn't super busy and they sit you down quickly with some good drinks. Our server seemed newer at her job, or perhaps not very good but the food was pretty tasty we had no complaints. \n\nIt's not fine dining but unless you want to eat at the food court at Jersey Mills or IHOP, this was the best option we found.“

“Dear Maud is my go-to brunch spot in Hoboken! The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and cool, making it an ideal place to eat + chat with friends. Their drinks are solid, and the food is even better, with a great selection of dishes to choose from.“

“AMAZING. I visited NYC this past weekend, and my friend and I randomly decided to pop in for caviar and champagne. We were able to be seated outside without reservations. When I say "outside", it was really more of a covered outdoor area with very comfortable seating and beautiful lighting. Our waiter, Austin, was very accommodating, fun, and attentive. We ordered the lobster rolls with caviar, and honey, they were DIVINE. The rolls were tiny but oh so good. We also ordered the truffle fries which were amazing. Be sure to visit the bathroom... it's stunning. I will be sure to go for dinner the next time I'm in NYC.“

“Unbelievable food and awesome atmosphere. Service was fast. Definitely recommend this place“

“The food was amazing, customer service is incredible. Prices were definitely reasonable and the quality was excellent. The place is clean , everything was made to order. Couldn’t ask for more ! The staff was great. The owner is pleasant and cheerful, great asset to the community.“

“Really enjoyed the meal (wish the chicken was a bit more savory, but the chicken and waffle is nice and a decent portion. The coffee was very good and our service was top notch.

11/17/24 had the pork belly egg and cheese, and wow, it was phenomenal. A very adult take on it.“

“Great experience with great friends we are from Puerto Rico and Boston . In loving with the Turkey dinner offer“

“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!“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“Great music, service and food! Hip spot. Def recommend.“

“We discovered Mathew's just yesterday and enjoyed a great lunch with their extremely pleasant staff. We'll be back.“

“For my first time coming to The Malt House was a pleasant experience. I came during brunch hours. I ordered the steak and eggs. The steak medium well and eggs sunny side up. I also got the bottomless mimosa upgrade which is 90 mins of unlimited mimosas from 10am-4pm Saturdays and Sundays. The waitress was hospitable and friendly. The service here is a 10/10. I would highly recommend The Malt House to anyone who prefers or likes American styles cuisine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Seasonal dishes fresh and beautifully presented! Friendly and helpful team with excellent dish recommendations :)“

“Each meal I’ve had to date at Next Door Provisions has been consistently wonderful, and the casual and chic decor there (bonus points if you’re a plant or comic nerd!) married with friendly and efficient service always bring me, my family, and friends back again and again. We’ve celebrated many birthdays, reunions, and last-minute meetups at NDP, and I have never been disappointed by the food or the service. This is likely one of Jersey City’s best-kept secrets, and can rival any Michelin-starred or trendy restaurant across the Hudson. In a way, I’m glad NDP is still pretty low-key neighborhood food purveyor, but would be more than happy to see them really blow up and get the recognition and following that the extraordinary Chef Ruby deserves. Five stars, ten snaps, and five forks from me and my crew!“

“Stopped be for a preflight bite and a mimosa. Both breakfasts were delicious. Coffee was great. Prosecco is n top. Rosemary was behind the bar, so friendly.“

“I have dined there a few times. Twice with my daughter. Their food is delicious. Great tasting burgers and Beef Nachos. The Staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing. I learned how to say mushrooms in Spanish. Thank you.“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Applebee’s, thanks to our waitress, Adriana! From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Adriana was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure we enjoyed our meal. She anticipated our needs, kept our drinks topped off, and was quick with any requests we had.

Not only was she efficient, but she also had a great attitude and brought such positive energy to our table. It made our meal so much more enjoyable! If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for Adriana – she’ll make your visit exceptional. Thank you, Adriana, for your wonderful service“

“Incoyable! Delicious! Brisket fantastic!“

“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.“

“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.“

“Fantastic food in a setting steeped in history. We ate here as a family of six on our first night in NYC after a trip on the staten island ferry. Friendly staff with amazing knowledge on nearby locations linked to George Washington and Hamilton.“

“This is one of the best airport restaurants I've experienced. The prices are reasonable, especially at an airport, The food and drinks are varied and excellent. Service is very good as well. It's best to enjoy in a leisurely easy if you have plenty of time before your flight boards.“

“It is very dark in here. So dark, you need the candle to read the menu

Hamachi crudo was great. Shrimp tacos were delicious. Tater tots were excellent. Skip the pumpkin risotto - it wasn’t cooked through and lacked salt/umami. DEFinitely order the Kit Kat

Had a bottle of Sancerre - it was fine.“

“Love it…..try it soongtreat menu“

“Well I just order theses French fries last night and they were burn and hard as a rock we need better older workers for this restaurant and we need better older waitress that could take the customers order and sever the customers the right order and for this restaurant we need a host for the front of the front entrance of the restaurant and we need a cashier for the front of the restaurant and we need a older dish washer worker that could handle the plates and we need older waitress that could pay attention to there job not giggly with there friends that's not working we need better workers for this nice restaurant and better older managers one in the morning and one at night to see how clean the restaurants tables are and also the restrooms and they should close the other side and keep that side only for special events. Because this is a American restaurants that we need real waitress and host for this beautiful restaurant.“

“Omg this place is AMAZING! Definitely a new North Arlington favorite! The gentleman that makes everything are so friendly. They also accommodate you if you want to switch something for your dish. This is the second time I've been here and had the linguine garlic pasta ( they make it homemade too). The first time I only had it with shrimp. The second time I added grilled chicken and shrimp. I am obsessed!

Great atmosphere, owners, and service. Every time I come back I want to try something different but I stick with the pasta. It's my favorite!

I had the gluten free calamari and that was fantastic as well. The breading was seasoned well and it wasn't rubbery. That a must to try as well!.

My boyfriend had the grilled chicken, rice, and broccoli and everything was seasoned wonderful.

Keep doing your thing! We will be back! ☺️“

“Nice outdoor patio, good food, great location.“

“Fabulous Thanksgiving experience. Our party included a person who uses a wheelchair, and everyone at Chadwick’s could not have been more gracious and accommodating. Truly exceptional.“

“Great spot for drinks and a drink 🥃 what a great time and place, we well be coming back“

“I won’t lie, I took my partner here as a surprise after he got into the car and I had the very Kitchen Nightmare episode this restaurant was featured in. You know, the episode with Bobby the gangsta executive chef who was making $100,000?

It was a great episode, but the owners looked like very good people. Even though it’s been a couple years, I discovered Bask46 was not only still open, but thriving.

We didn’t get to set at Gordon’s booth, but we were right next to it. The service and food were fantastic!

My partner got the tacos, which he loved (the portions look bigger than what Gordon has suggested). I had the 46 burger. The first half tasted bland, but it seems because all the flavor was just on the other side — and when I hit that, I loved it.

The potato skins appetizer was OK, but still we had a great experience.

It was a Sunday night so we didn’t expect to see the owners, but we still had a great time, and it looked like things were running smoothly.

Fun experience, and who knows, maybe we’ll trek back again. Bask46 is one of the rare Ramsay success stories, and it truly is a success.“

“The best Wiener Schnitzel outside Austria!!!!👍“

“Everything was pretty much perfect except for that lobster malfadine. literally what was that? probably the worst thing I’ve ever tasted. Wow. Vanilla & Lobster? Maybe im missing something. Jesus Christ. I can’t even exaggerate how terrible it was. Apps were great and drinks were ok. Mind boggled by that pasta still“

“Went for a school trip for the seniors. Was also my first time going to this place. I heard so many things about the experience so I was ready to see how it was. Was pouring rain outside. Building looked nice and the staff were mostly friendly. Manager I spoke to regarding a seat was awesome and patient. Atmosphere was comforting and fun. The show was much quicker than we all expected. Only real gripe I had was the food offering. Not sure if it had changed over the years from what others told me, but for the price of tickets, I would think a bit more should be offered.

If you like fantasy and just want a unique experience, give this place a try.“

“Delicious food and excellent service Definitely recommend this place“

“The staff was friendly and knowledgeable“

“My guy came from out of town and this was the very first place that we stopped to eat at and let me say, it did not disappoint! Literally the best burgers that he and I have ever had. The tots were seasoned to perfection. Burgers were perfection, sauces perfection! Had to walk back over and tell the owner/cook? How much we loved it. He was super appreciative and cool.“

“Great food, great atmosphere and great service.. I’m coming back and bringing friends and family! I definitely recommend it!“

“Great meal and great service in their lovely outdoor garden.“
