New American Restaurants near Rockaway, NJ

“GREAT bar, restaurant. We were there to see a band so didn't sit and enjoy the ambiance much. However food looked amazing going by and the drinks were on point. Would DEFINITELY like to sit and enjoy a meal here, really nice outdoor area that must be awesome in the warmer weather!“

“Brick 46 has been a go to spot for my family since moving to the area 2 years ago and the food never disappoints. That in mind we decided to host our 3 year olds birthday party here. Everything was executed perfectly. Our hostess, so sorry I don't recall her name, was awesome and made everyone feel at home. Lou, the owner, made everything easy during the booking process and my wife and I could not been happier with the outcome of the day. A huge thank you to Lou and the entire Brick 46 family!!!“

“This is obviously one of the tastiest restaurants in the area. Always when I come to this place I am profoundly glad. They always keep their very high level service and the topmost level of dishes they serve. You definitely will enjoy this this restaurant. Highly recommended.“

“Absolutely fantastic culinary experience. Each dish is a work of art and tastes amazing. I highly recommend the Canadian elk medallions. Not a cheap place but definitely worth it. Conveniently located across from the Hyatt so you can park underground there.Parking: Better to park at the Hyatt across the street.“

“I have to say I really enjoy The Thirsty Turtle. Although it's a sports bar and you think it might just be cool to watch a game, the food and staff are excellent and professional. We went the other night and met friends for dinner and it was a fantastic experience! The waiter, (I don't remember his name), but he memorized our order and everything came out perfect! We had appetizers, burgers, beer & drinks, and enjoyed everything we ate and drank. I also have to call out Manny who went above and beyond in helping me. He is smart and knows how to treat customers. Any establishment should be lucky to have him!“

“I had a Bacon Egg and Cheese on a toasted sesame bagel with ketchup and pepper. It was okay. I think I would have preferred more "meat" in the bagel, but I think it's not different than the other bagel places in the area. This place only takes cash, so be sure to bring some or use their on site ATM. Their grill was open later than other local spots on a Sunday, which was a plus. The staff are friendly. They offer drinks, chips and some pastries as well.“

“We catered our son's first birthday party with American BBQ and we received SO many compliments about how delicious the food was! The delivery/setup was prompt and super quick! I had numerous email exchanges with Roberta going back and forth with ideas and she was absolutely wonderful to work with! Highly recommend!!“

“The Smoke Rise inn is the neighborhood's best kept secret This charming building has as much history as it does ambiance It is believed to be a private establishment due to it being behind the Smoke rise community gates but it is open to the public When you walk into the bar area you can't help feeling like you are walking into the tv show cheers Everyone does know your name or will by the time you leave The staff and the usual patrons are extremely friendly and love meeting new folks The bar room is charming with stone and wood walls and a cozy fireplace on the upper seating area There is dining in the gazebo room which is equally as lovely and a bit quieter The food is delicious and the drinks are quite generous The Inn can also accommodate weddings in their ballroom or private parties So if you haven't checked out this fabulous eatery come drop in but make sure you make a reservation on the weekend“

“We were a party of 3 for Easter dinner, our first time here. It was packed but the friendly and competent staff was able to accommodate a table change for us to a booth which was much appreciated. Our sewer was friendly and informative. The menu has wonderful options. The tuna tartare appointment was big enough for all of us to enjoy without filling up too much so we could enjoy our perfectly cooked lamb loin and scallop entrees. Desserts were sweet and delicious and the presentation was brilliant. I will steal the idea for my next dinner party!“

“Stopped here after church and was pleasantly surprised. The owner greeted us and sat us immediately. You can genuinely see his care and pride in the restaurant. The service was outstanding. Our daughter was the only child there but they all fussed over her. We really appreciated that. They also made menu modifications for her with no issues. We all loved our food. Portions were plenty and we all brought home some leftovers. Oh and get the beets if you are a beet person. They were fantastic!“

“My girls and I came here tonight to celebrate one of our friends birthday..and I cannot thank AMIR enough!!! He was soo accommodating, professional..but beyond that his personality and vibe are a 10/10! Genuinely made our experience and night! If you want amazinggg service and a fun personally ask for him! Went above and beyond for the birthday girl and even offered to use his digital camera when we were taking photos! ( photos came out BEAUTIFUL!!) can’t thank him enough!! Literally made our night. The food was amazing, will definitely be back. THANK YOU AMIR!!! “

“We stopped in on St. Pats weekend and where plesently surprised. We got immediate seating at the bar and had amazing food. We came because the spot was recommended for their tap list, and boy, did they not disappoint. Spectacular selection of premium beers and a great variety too; not just the usual whale NEIPAs. My only complaint is that this spot is too far away from me to be a regular haunt. If you're around the area, definitely give Taphouse 15 a try.Parking: Lot is a bit tight, and the restaurant is situated in the middle of a divided highway, so it felt a bit strange when we pulled in from the left.“

“New contemporary restaurant with great menu. I stopped in for lunch and had a really good chicken sandwich. Chicken cutlet was fresh, juicy and crispy on a toasted pita with crispy prosciutto , lettuce and tomato and mozzarella. French fries were also fresh and crispy. Also tried an eggplant on focaccia with roasted red peppers and was also very delicious. Everything on the menu sounds good and I might have to go back for the hanger steak. Lots of seating , big bar , lots of TVs. I was there on a Saturday and they only had one waitress waiting on like 4 tables and 6 people at the bar which was fine because we weren’t in a hurry but I could see it getting crazy.“

“J&M Grill makes delicious burgers and soups! They are always so fresh and they take the time to make the burger the way you like it. The soups and chili in the winter are so good to warm you up! The staff is super nice and super quick service!“

“The Beacon was so accommodating since I planned my entire wedding dinner within a month. I needed as few headaches as possible. Edna coordinated everything! The staff was very polite and attentive. Everyone LOVED the food and atmosphere. I will be coming in regularly to try the other dishes on the menu and maybe a little line dancing.“

“The food here is sooo delicious!! Tried it tonight with my husband and we highly recommend it. The sandwich bread is perfect (usually my husband is super picky about that) and they’re super generous with the portions. We got the Oreo milkshake too and omg it was so yummy. Try it!! 10/10. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful.“

“Harvest Bistro is absolutely incredible! This has been a favorite lunch spot of ours for years. We also recently worked with them to cater my son's baptism party and we were so impressed. Every single guest commented on how delicious the food was. Several people even told us it was the best food they had ever had from a caterer. Tushar is so helpful and easy to work with too. We'll definitely be going back to Harvest Bistro for all of our future parties!“

“We eat here regularly. Always get seated promptly. Friendly host and servers. The food is fresh and hot. Traditional Irish fare and American standards. I do not drink, but friends say the beer selection is fine. I definitely recommend this restaurant.Parking: Street parking on Denville Bloomfield Avenue is sometimes challenging. If you park on Main Street, behind the restaurant, use the rear entrance.“

“We had the pleasure of throwing my daughter's baby shower at Stone Water on St. Patrick's Day. From beginning to end, it was a complete success. Karissa worked tirelessly with me to ensure that the entire planning process was seamless and that our event would be perfect! Perfect is an understatement!!! The event exceeded all of our expectations - the room was beautiful, the staff was incredible to work with and the food was out of this world! Family and friends are still raving about the event and of course, my daughter was equally floored. We will definitely be returning for future events and truly cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Karissa and all of the staff at Stone Water!“

“Great service and dining room. The calamari could have been a little more crisp, but overall it wasn’t tough and tasted good. The special braised short rib raviolis were excellent. Fresh homemade pasta dough and homemade vodka sauce. Would like to get back here and try more “
