40 Best American Restaurants near Mendham

“The food was excellent! I had the fried calamari and the hot pretzels for appetizers, and both were delicious! Atmosphere is rustic and lively. It was decorated nicely for the holidays. We went on a Friday night and they had live music. Music was good but a little loud for my taste. Overall, we had a good experience and nice night out!“

“YOU MUST GO HERE FOR DINNER!!!!!!! Not only is this the only place nearby serving East African food, it is so good that it is akin to food heaven! The staff are incredible! And for dessert you can get amazing homemade ice cream! So please please please do yourself a favor and try the Eritrean food! You will not be disappointed!“

“Great friendly place! It’s small inside with a few tables and counter seats. But it's worth the visit. Sitting at the counter affords to opportunity to watch the cook prepare each order. Cash only, but there is an ATM machine inside. Good breakfast menu that includes daily specials. Friendly service and atmosphere. I ordered a pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich and the waitress joked that I’m not from around here – Taylor ham! The home fries can be ordered with or without peppers and onions. The pork roll – oops Taylor ham, egg and cheese sandwich was served on a fresh soft roll. And my coffee cup was frequently refilled without asking. A very pleasant, friendly place to start the day. Sincerely, Mr. Pork Roll.“

“Was in the area for the night and was in the mood for some solid bar food and quite a few beverages. Thatchers was suggested and man was it absolutely great. Great bar food, great Guinness and a great atmosphere. If I lived in the area I would be here all the time.“

“We've had lunch here about 10 times this year, and we really like it. Wish we had discovered it 24 years ago!We've had a few Summer dinners on the back patio sitting by the Raritan river headwaters, just a babbling brook at this point. It's enchanting! Try it!“

“Best Diner around great service, food is always great I've been eating there for years you cant beat it!!Parking: Close parking freshly pavedKid-friendliness: Great place for kids!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy ramp to enter rite from handy cap parking spaces“

“We had made reservations for Chef Fredy's Table for a Saturday night. We ended up arriving early for our reservation and were seated promptly. As the restaurant is BYOB we took note of the menu beforehand to make sure we grabbed a bottle of wine to best compliment. The service was incredibly fast and the food was delicious. Some of the best we have had in a long time. To start we ordered a bowl of soup and salad and then the jambalaya and the roasted chicken for our main course. Everyone was so friendly and the atmosphere was lovely. We will definitely be dining here again.“

“Do yourself a favor and wait to be seated at the bar when Alana works! My husband and I wait to be served by her every weekend we come in! She has a bubbly personality that can make anyone’s day and makes a killer cocktail! The other two behind the bar are miserable! The food was amazing, the service was even better! We have gotten each dish she’s recommended and have yet to be disappointed!“

“I was pleasantly surprised as I went in with no real expectations. The food was made well and everyone in my party was happy with it. Staff was nice and the space was small but well used. I highly recommend a reservation because they do not have a lot of tables and it gets busy fast so walking in might lead to a long wait.“

“HIDDEN GEM. We were a party of 4 and came from 45 minutes away. The place is a bit smaller, but that didn’t take away from the amazing experience we all had. The waiter, who has worked there for over 17 years, was exceptional. He was friendly and funny and we all had an excellent time with him. The food was perfect. Everything we ordered came out perfect. It was all hot and it was all very delicious. I would highly recommend the pancakes. We will for sure be back again and again.“

“My honey and I were passing through on a road trip from Cali and stopped here looking for coffee. We not only found great coffee (he had an affogato and I had a toffee latte), but the hot, fresh donuts and beignets are indescribably delicious! The beignets were perfectly done with a slightly crisp exterior and tender, buttery, pillowy interior. The donut was a freshly fried cake donut and as such I thought it would be heavy and doughy. Not so! It was also light and airy with a crisp exterior. Flawless!!“

“Burrata, rice balls, gnocchi, stuffed chicken over wild rice, veal chops with spinach and risotto. Apple crisp and berry pie. All of it was better than I thought it would be, all on point and delicious. No picks of the burrata it didn't last long enough. The quality was excellent, but I wish it came with some greens. I should have been coming here all this time.“

“The American Barbecue Company never disappoints. We ordered Thanksgiving sides and desserts and everyone loved the food. Everything was easy to reheat, packaged nicely, and pick up was very convenient. We had a great experience with them this summer when they catered our daughter’s outdoor graduation party barbecue, and now we would not hesitate to have them cater any indoor events as well.“

“When I'm in town, we get to Pub 199 for the lobsters and clams (dinner) and/or a variety of other items (lunch). Good for a quick in and out lunch or a social dinner. Great big rooms decorated with various taxidermy and especially decorated for Christmas. Usually, a fire going in the fire place when cold out. Friendly, but busy staff makes sure your food gets out in a timely fashion and not overly attentive, but attentive enough to catch their attention when you need something.“

“8 of us went out for dinner and conversation and were so happy we chose Bistro 46. We have eaten there many times and the food is always good. This time it was excellent and everyone loved their meal. Highest points went to a few specials, chopped romaine salad, the short rib ravioli and my favorite, the delicious chicken cutlet with mozzarella cheese. I really hope I can get it again next time I visit. The wait staff was excellent and had a good sense of humor. Highly recommend!“

“Cute place in an old train station. Very noisy. The food is very good and reasonably priced. Servings are large. Fried scallops and shoestring fries were both excellent. There are only 2 servers who are very pleasant but busy doing everything, so service is slow. Certainly worth a visit if you are not in a hurry and remember at dinner time that they close at 7pm and they get very busy at lunch time.“

“The burgers were ok,nothing special being I'm a butcher.The service was superb!!It's a nice place for date night with your wife or girlfriend,it's laid back!One thing that bothers me when we go out is everything still over priced!!This inflation is out of control, this dinner should have cost about $45.00 including TIP.They say things are getting better, where I ask??Things were so much better beforeParking: leaving the pub is a bit difficult pulling out onto traffic!“

“The location is very easy to find and there is ample parking. The staff is very warm and welcoming and knowledgeable of the menu. There are plenty of places to sit and we didn’t have to wait to be seated. We had the huevos rancheros and the French toast, which were both amazing. They serve a local coffee called Lake born coffee, which was really good by itself and also as a cappuccino. I’ll be back to the rest of the menu!“

“I Live right next to it and is my favorite spot in my hometown and the Philly cheese steak in Dover Grill is the best sandwich I ever have and the fries I Love it the drink's are good and the works out of this world Care and Fun. I LOVE DOVER GRILL ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“My family of 5 and I went to Marylin’s on a Sunday for breakfast and it was great! Upon arrival, we waited maybe about 3 minutes for them to set up a table. Once seated, the restaurant is VERY crammed: there’s booths lining both sides, which can seat 4 people comfortably, however they have larger tables in the middle and it is TIGHT.Our waitress was very nice and got everything right! Our only complaint is that our table’s food came out at different times and 2 people in our party were 1/2 way done with their meals before the rest of the table got their food… it also took some time to get our sides of toast, sausage, etc. so eating was a little awkward timing-wise.The owner is a long haired gentleman who has the nicest personality and great customer service. Obviously the diner was packed for a Sunday but he didn’t stop moving to ask tables what they were missing, if they needed anything, how the food was, and just to chat in general. He wasn’t overbearing or anything but very pleasant and did a great job of ensuring we had a great breakfast.Overall our food was very good once it came out - a bit pricey but good to say the least! We will return for sure!Parking: There’s plenty of parking, however, you may not get a spot right in front because it is in a strip mall with other great shops!Kid-friendliness: They had a really simplified kids menu named after animals, which we thought was great! The restaurant is loud so you might not even know there’s kids :) again, it is a very tight/small diner so they won’t be able to run around and it may be hard to fit a high chair.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair friendly, there may be 1 table for someone in a wheelchair but that would be a stretch. The restaurant is just too tight to fit a wheelchair. Theres also 2 doors to get through, which could be an issue.“

“Atmospheric breakfast (and lunch) cafe in the train station. Wonderful historic photos of trains cover the walls. Food is very good and portions are generous. Presumably commuters take-out in the morning, but there is a nice seating area. Definitely worth a special trip for a nice breakfast. Dedicated parking.“

“Great place to bring your family. Their food is really good and fresh. The line for service goes pretty quick to place your order. The cleanliness is good and the game room is a lot of fun for the entire family. We love visiting and eating out there, Over all, we give you a five out of five star rating.Thank youThe Chorzelewski family.Kid-friendliness: The entire dining experience is great for kids and the entire family. Our grandchildren and us love the game room where you can spend a great deal of time playing games and having fun.“

“If you are in the area, this place should be on your list. It's tucked away in a corner, but parking is easy, and you should make a reservation if you're planning to visit on a Friday or Saturday.The food is made to order and delicious. Plan to spend a while and have one of the delicious drinks from the cocktail menu.Vegetarian options: You can make requests since everything is made to order.Parking: Parking directly in front of the restaurantWheelchair accessibility: Located on the 1st floor“

“I don't want anyone to know about my favorite breakfast place. So you won't see me writing about how great the food is or the wonderful wait staff or the fact that I eat here at least once a week. I won't mention that everything is freshly made and of the highest quality. You won't see me talking about all the amazing fresh breads they make every day. Please don't ask me about the best french toast I've ever had outside my own house.“

“Last year: Good food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Great find!A year later, I was in the area and went back. It was once again really good.If you are looking for a comfortable atmosphere and food that is straightforward, hearty and good, then I highly recomend Charlotte's Web.“

“"Indulging in the worlds best donuts, the exceptional service truly sets this bakery apart. During my first visit, the staff showered my son with remarkable warmth, care, and love. The ambiance was delightful, and the array of delicious treats made it an unforgettable experience. Undoubtedly, this bakery stands as the pinnacle of my culinary adventures, leaving a lasting impression of excellence."“

“Excellent little joint. We stopped by in the mid-morning for some breakfast/lunch and all the food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Overall, I loved the atmosphere of the place, but I took off one star because the back-rests of all the chairs were sticky and had accumulated filth over time. I'm not sure if I'll be back in the area any time soon but if I am I'll definitely drop in again. Would highly recommend.“

“Fun little roadside spot. Came here for the hot dogs and they did not disappoint. Hot onions are a must have. Got a regular dog, Texas and a Chicago dog. The Texas dog was the star of the show. Super balanced and just the right amount of messy. The Chicago dog had a bit too much bread for me. Seemed like it was put on a long roll and it was kind of hard. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The place was clean and the food came out quick. Glad I stopped in and got their special of getting the third dog free after buying two.“

“I go once in a while they have a lot of regulars. It's a nice chill spot to have a few drinks and relax. Staff is great! I've never had a problem. Nice vibe even when I'm not drinking (I'm pregnant and still go with my bf so he can relax) but over all definitely recommend you check it “

“The restaurant's biggest negative is location and lack of parking. The only other thing that could use improving is the menu, simply by explaining it a bit more upfront. However, our server did a wonderful job explaining things, and the food was top-notch. “

“I've driven by a million times and have always been curious. What a pleasant and delicious suprise it was when i finally visited this fine establishment. The owner and staff were very attentive in making everything just right(eventhough we walked in 15 minutes before closing). I had the Rubén and my wife had the chicken salad and a soup- all made perfectly and soup was "grandmother approved"!!! Highly recommend!!!“

“Refined menu. Everything is perfectly executed. Probably the best wine selection I have ever experienced. Fantastic seasonal cocktails. Fish selections are always great; pasta is always on point. Perfect steaks and burgers. Also, exceptional service.“

“On occasions there is valet parking, the area is beautiful honestly. They host events here such as weddings and there is parking all around as well. The food here is honestly great, my favorite will forever be the Amish chicken or the steak paired with the chimichurri sauce. They have a great selection of wines to choose from. The service here is great as well, I believe the tip is included then again I usually go here with parties of 5 or more so it may just be automatically included. The price for the food definitely reflects what you are being served. Whenever I’ve called for events they have been very accommodating. They have a private area as well for your party and the outdoor area with the fireplace is great in the summer. I can’t wait to come here again soon! Thank you“

“I attended a wedding here last weekend and it was by far the fanciest and one of the nicest weddings I've ever attended. This particular wedding had a huge spread of appetizers for the happy hour time followed by a full course dinner, so we tried a wide range of food served here. Everything served was off the charts good. The service was first class and the atmosphere was very beautiful and high end. The scenic view of the valley during fall out back was lovely as well! I'd recommend this location to anyone based on the excellent service, great food, and lovely atmosphere.“

“Spectacular food and experience! Absolutely one of the most delicious and well curated meals I’ve ever had, well worth the high price tag for a special outing. I tried the tuna tartare, the Long Island duck, and the chocolate moose cake. The duck was delicious, but my favorite part was the chestnut mash - so good and never had anything like it. Definitely check this place out. Sitting outside also felt like a true French experience; it reminded me of a trip to Paris! Service is excellent, staff so friendly, polite, and helpful.“

“My husband and I had a delicious meal last night. He is the pickiest eater and has a real limited palette. His favorite meal is Chicken Marsala which this restaurant does real well. I had the panzanella salad and small plate eggplant rollatini. I ate every bite of each. A very nice touch was the complimentary soft warm breadsticks and marinated salad. We will definitely be back and share our good experience with friends and family.Also, adding the service was excellent!“

“One of the healthiest places to eat the Fitness grill is by far also the flavor full variety including tex mex salad and cob salad the wraps are second to none in taste I would highly recommend fitness grill along with the hospitality offered by the owner, she is the “

“Our go to in denville always! Love coming here on the weekends for bloodys & apps. Their staff is awesome, everyone makes you feel at home. Cody the bartender is great! Definitely recommend Second Half- never ever a bad experience. My family & I absolutely love it here!!“

“The food and service is great! I took a party of three for lunch and we all enjoyed the food. The waitress was informative, telling us about some of the Colombian cultural drinks and meals. I will definitely be going back and hopefully play some pool next time. It is a small, unassuming place and is by no means 'fine dining,' but I really liked it. The price is right and comparable to the atmosphere.“

“Loud but the outstanding food makes up for itMenus is varied from Mac & "cheese over pulled pork.Friendly staff Deago was our serverShown is the scallops and tomato risotto. OUTSTANDING.And the meat balls were over the top!GPS it or you will pass it up“
