50 Best American Restaurants near Wharton

“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 “

“Neighborhood pop (and mama) bar/restaurant where I believe the owner is the chef and he makes some delicious and unique food that is consistently awesome. Best cuban sandwich i've had in the area. "Shweddy Balls" are a must try (think of a meatball but made from mashed seasoned eggplant with cheese and deep fried like a falafel).“

“We held my sister’s bridal shower here & we are all blown away at how great a experience we had. From start to finish Tracey & Liz assisted us with all the planning, & were super responsive to my emails. The day of, Tracey & our servers were so kind & helpful with everything. Everyone loved the food & the cake was delicious too! Thank you so much for making my sister feel special on her special day! Will hopefully come in the future for a regular dinner or lunch just to have Chef Andre’s food again!“

“We flew to town, walked into Chef Fredy's and got blown away! Our server was super knowledgeable and gave us great suggestions. The food was absolutely amazing, one dish after another! We split the pear salad. We tried the bone marrow escargot, which was a great twist on how it's usually done. I had the lamb ossobuco. It was cooked to perfection, meat falling off the bone! Finger licking Delicious!! We finished it off with truffle covered pistachios ice cream. They have a great menu. Must try all!“

“I finally got to Andy's after everyone telling me I had to try it out. I was not disappointed! If you are a fan of hotdogs, you must try what Andy has to offer. I tried The Pig Dog and a new option that wasn't even on the menu yet. He warned me it would be a LOT of food and he wasn't kidding, but it was so good I managed to finish it all. Try it out, then go back and try again!I will definitely be returning.“

“Visited the Season 52 while traveling to Morris Plains, NJ for work. Went during happy hour which they have from 3-6pm, and the bar was full but they had high top seating open around the bar. The service was quick and the server was delightful. My food was well made and typically this comes with a risotto but I wanted just protein and veggies. It was seasoned well and cooked well too. I'm never disappointed in my time at Season 52.“

“The theme from Cheers comes to mind as I was sitting there this morning having breakfast with a friend. It's like where everybody knows your name and you're always glad you came people are super friendly you're like a big family as soon as you walk in place is clean neat food is good it's a home run.“

“Excellent family atmosphere to dine in. Our greeting when my family and I walked in was so welcoming. The waitress were very nice and friendly. They looked like they enjoyed working there. The food was very flavorful and not overpowered with salt. The buffalo chicken egg roll was delicious. My little one enjoyed the mac n cheese with a grilled cheese (just cheddar). I ate some of her meal too! LOL. I had the meatloaf with mash and gravy and sauteed green beans. This entree hit the spot. My husband had the chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were lightly coated and seasoned just enough. Now I know when people hear GF dessert, they're turned off. Nope, the GF Black and white cake for dessert was very moist, lightly sweetened, and delicious. This place was fantastic. I will return and recommend that you try it.“

“Carvers is our go to for breakfast. Staff is extremely friendly. The food always fresh and delicious. And the baked goods are unreal. They bake fresh bread pies and muffins daily. It makes me feel like I went to grandmas for breakfast. Big portions fresh food and mix matched coffee mugs. Oh and they make their own pancake mix that you can purchase to make your own. The best!Kid-friendliness: Great kid options. The chocolate chip pancake’s are always a hit with our kids“

“Awesome awesome awesome... drinks packed a punch but still completely refreshing and every tapas plate tasted like it was personally prepared just for us. Staff was super nice and attentive even when the place got packed and the atmosphere was fun but still intimate. Can't wait to go back“

“While being in the area, decided to stop there for lunch. Local food was good, they had a very decent beer. The view on the lake was extraordinary and in some sense, quite soothing. Prices were decent and service up to par. I'll make sure to stop there if I am ever in the area again.“

“I stopped in here for coffee and just had to try a beignet. They smelled amazing, and the one I got was hot, soft, and not overly sweet, despite the glaze. Good stuff! The shop itself has a good amount of seating, and the employee was nice. I'd try more beignets if I wasn't trying to lose weight, LOL.“

“Unique and delish. My amazing title person stopped by my office and brought there Homemade Potato Donuts called Spudnuts. The dulce de leche with sea salt was my favorite, but it’s super rich. The cinnamon sugar was a close second. You definitely can’t eat the whole donut since they are so large. They were warm and fresh when she brought them in. I have never been here but it’s definitely a fan favorite to most in Morristown. They also have breakfast sandwiches, pizza, burgers, gyro platter and a ton of other comfort foods. I haven’t stopped in, but based on the spundnuts I definitely will stop in soon!“

“My family and I had an amazing brunch experience at Agricola! We were a group of 10 people and were seated promptly. Our server, Elvis, was absolutely fantastic - attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. The food and drinks were delicious across the board, with everyone in our group loving their orders. Standout dishes included the heavenly cinnamon roll, creamy burrata, flavorful mushroom pizza, indulgent carrot cake pancakes, and perfectly cooked flank steak & eggs. The ambiance was great for a relaxed Saturday brunch, and the portions were generous without sacrificing quality. Highly recommended for groups looking for a memorable brunch experience!“

“If you are an espresso martini lover like myself, you can't miss Stirling Tavern. I can't even count how many espresso martinis I have gotten here over the past couple of years I've visited the adorable Morristown. The bartenders are very consistent with the drink making and I have never had a bad drink here. The ambience in the bar area is very sophisticated and the seating in the front of the bar is the perfect spot. I've also tried some small plates too like the burger bites which I would like to be snacking on right now. The little sliders have goat cheese for a unique twist and really delicious sweet potato fries on the side. I've had both flatbreads too which are a good starter to share with friends and family.“

“Jose and Anif are the absolute BEST hosts at any restaurant my family has ever visited. Not only are they extremely polite with wonderful customer service skills, they are fast and efficient and keep the entire flow of people moving which is crucial to the operation of the entire restaurant. I am super impressed with these two employees, and would come back to dine here again simply because of them. Also, thank you so very much for going above and beyond to give my son a memorable and special birthday experience that he will always remember. You both deserve a promotion to leadership positions - and my family appreciates everything you did. Thank you soooo much!!! ?❤️?“

“Holy crow this place gets busy on a Sunday morning. Lots of kids and very noisy. It's IHOP...All is good nothing is awesome.Parking: It was a rainy day and parking was fine even with them being packed inside.Kid-friendliness: I don't have little ones anymore but there were so many kids its gotta be kid friendly“

“What can I say. Have been a customer for many years nothing has changed but the year and date. Still the same Steak goodness Wedge Salads and French Onion Soup. Service is so on the money nothing less than perfect. The ambience is unique and original giving the feel of an old time classic place.“

“Always a favorite when traveling through NJ or PA. I can't help it- I crave these delicious, fresh burgers with the toppings bar so that you can make it just perfect! And after all these years they still have the same amazing buttered bund and potato-wedge fries :)“

“Food was excellent, I had the special halibut over mashed potatoes with a lemon caper sauce. Large thick piece which was very soft and flaky literally melting in my mouth. Sauce was perfectly balanced and plentiful. Finished with coffee and desert, topped off with a complimentary shot of zambucca.It was quite loud which is the only thing I can criticize with the dinner. Cost was fairly high but considering the quality of our meals, it was a fair price.“

“Gatwyns II is a very good neighborhood restaurant/ bar. The food (Portuguese Mussels and Pizza) are great but the beer choices are very poor. Lack of attention from the bar tender can be too frequent but the table service is strong. Definitely recommended, some areas could use improvement but generally happy with this place.“

“Stopped in this morning at Pop's Place on Route 48 E. In Rockaway Township after hearing quite a few rave reviews. Cozy, old school style looking little roadside, classic style NJ eatery serving up a selection of Sabrett specialty hot dogs , sandwiches , burgers , grilled chicken boxes, spuds and rings, in addition to a mouth watering selection of your traditional New Jersey breakfast choices. Super fast and friendly service and immaculately clean, it was a family friendly joint to just sit, relax, and stuff your face with a variety of your favorite menu items, be it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I went with Pop's Breakfast Bomb. Taylor Ham (6 slices, beautifully charred), Sausage Patty, 2 Eggs, several slices of American Cheese, on a toasted Brioche Bun. WOW! This sandwich was as good as it sounds. Each bite was an explosion of flavor, and ample enough for two people. TeamTaylorNJ, if you haven't stopped by as of yet. Give it a try. Great stop, great food, nice people. Good luck and continued success. 03/30/2024“

“First time coming here for dinner with the family to celebrate my birthday on St. Patrick’s day! Food was excellent. My fiancé is born and raised British and she absolutely loved the bangers and mash! The chicken schnitzel was delicious! Atmosphere inside was fun and relaxing. Bag pipe player walking around. Manager came over twice and checked on us! Thank you for a great meal!“

“First visit to Alice’s. We will return. Fun bar downstairs with outside heated seating looking over the lake. The food was ok. Steak was ordered rare and that came out perfect. The Salmon though was over cooked. Sides were fine though the vegetables were a mix of warm and cold. Service was great. Nice people.“

“Overall, solid choice and worth a visit if you're in the area. Typical bar scene with large television screens broadcasting a variety of major sports games, so it does tend to get rather loud inside. But also decently family friendly assuming you're ok with the large tv's around. Decent selection of drinks, and the happy hour specials are well worth the bang for your buck. I personally enjoy the LIT (Long Island), but the House Margarita Special is probably a better deal. Food is pretty much what you'd expect to find at a bar. Large menu so chances are you'll be able to find something that works for everyone. I'm a huge fan of the mozzarella sticks which was the star of the show for me. It is nice that they let you add onto sides for an extra charge. I've tried several of the entrees but nothing stands out. Overall quality is average across the board. Have not ventured into the dessert options here but they looked good for what it's worth, I'll have to give them a shot one time. My experience with service here has been mixed. On my most recent visit, they did very well apart from taking a long time to bring refills/check, but given how busy it gets on weekends it was understandable. However, I have had other times where my order has been messed up without an apology and were visibly upset that I asked for it to be fixed. Personally I prefer here over Tommy's but some may disagree.“

“It was a Thursday evening and we sat in the bar. We ordered off of the Chefs Tasting menu. We both ordered a salad and had the salmon entree which was deliciously perfect. Then we got to order a dessert because all the were included in the 29.99 price! It was excellent. We also had wine with our dinner.“

“Ordered grilled chicken avocado in a spinach wrap, and a side of avocado mango. The green mango was crunchy, lightly covered in avocado— a new taste for me I really liked. The wrap was wet enough (I hate dry wraps), the dressing a very subtle vinaigrette, I think; very subtle, meaning it was made with great care. The chicken — the whole sandwich was utterly delicious. I have never enjoyed turkey bacon so much. Friendly service, nice atmosphere. A thoroughly enjoyable lunch. I’ll come back, and I recommend it.“

“The food is great tastes amazing! I'm truly amazed at how catering and caring the owner and staff are. I love this place and come here all the time for good burger fries hotdogs and and chicken tenders and of course the Dover Dairy maid is right never door the ice cream is fantastic the service is great. The ambiance is definitely good old fashioned American food is family friendly you can eat out side they just opened today for the start of the season. So excited to go back again.“

“We went to the Creamery/Cafe for a late lunch at 1 O'clock today.Although their Eritrean menu says available by reservation 5 to 8 pm. we were able to order from the dinner menu.Service was prompt and very friendly.The Eritrean food was novel and delicious.Many, varied, interesting items to choose from.A pleasant contrast and relief from the usual hamburger, steak, pizza, sushi, etc. choices at most other restaurants in the Morristown area.“

“Diamond in the rough! I had a cheeseburger figuring it was a safe first shot at a new place. Best burger I’ve had in I don’t know how long. Good size double patty. Each patty would have been a good size burger on its own. Not like the places that basically take one decent size burger and split it in two to say it is a double.Good bun too. They branded it with a “D”… nice touch.Would definitely recommend and a definitely going back.Great job DooWoop EATS!“

“We come from Morristown for this gem! Drive over probably weekly with our 3 young children and are always impressed. Family friendly environment in dining room and they are all friendly and accommodating. Great kids menu and fantastic food/beer menu. It’s our favorite spot! Consistently good!“

“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!“

“Been meaning to review Table 42 many times before. I have the honestly say, the food, the staff and environment are delicious, super friendly and very accomadating. The atmosphere was relaxing and the live musician was the perfect background. I've had apps, entrees and their thin crust pizza and would recommend every dish on the menu. Highly recommend this Dover NJ gem. Enjoy!Parking: Parking located behind restaurant“

“Wow. The Black River Barn has outdone themselves again. What I remember growing up is an older pub feel with ok food, that has changed. It's now the most reasonably priced, delicious, kid and adult friendly food in a good part of Northern NJ. The atmosphere is palpable and full of life. Everyone loves their service, food, and drinks along with the prices. Can't say enough good about a restaurant I once wrote off as an older crowd. If you haven't visited in a while, give it another chance and they WILL impress you.“

“Our experience at The Windlass restaurant for Easter Brunch was simply outstanding! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a festive atmosphere that set the tone for a memorable dining experience with family.The selection of food at the brunch buffet was exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious options to satisfy every palate. From traditional brunch favorites to inventive chef specialties, each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The freshness and quality of the ingredients were evident in every bite, and we appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the meal.The ambiance of the restaurant was charming and inviting, with stunning views of Lake Hopatcong adding to the overall atmosphere. The staff were attentive and accommodating, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect.Overall, our Easter Brunch at The Windlass exceeded our expectations in every way. We left feeling thoroughly satisfied and grateful for the wonderful memories created with family. We cannot wait to return and indulge in more of the culinary delights that this gem of a restaurant has to offer.“

“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!“

“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'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!!!“

“Food was hot. Tastes was a 8/10. Waiter never offered me selection of veggies, mashed potatoes are from flake but taste good. Butter would be nice. Ordered meatloaf. Meatloaf was good but you get one slice cut into 3 slim pieces. Like that food wasn’t salty. Coffee hot and good , remember when you got two slices of meatloaf. But maybe too costly ? Over all good.“

“This diner eclipses all others in NJ. Peter does a fantastic job in serving the customers and pays attention to details. Only one thing needs changing to get the coveted 5 star rating; Please procure a higher quality bacon. The sausages and the rest were superb!“

“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.“

“Like walking into a restaurant on the titanic, beautiful and classy! Fantastic service, fantastic food! My Mule was perfectly made and I ordered another! Highly recommend! One of the best places to go on a date in Morristown! Don’t skimp on your woman!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“I’ve been to a lot of pubs on the east coast, but this one is special. Authentic pieces of Ireland inside and the atmosphere puts you setting in a pub in Dublin.Great place and staff. Food was fresh and served proper. We had the Rusty Irishman drink “ like an old fashioned” and came back a second day to enjoy another round. Great place to rest up and enjoy the east coast before headed into the city. I would recommend a stop and rest over.“

“Went for lunch today and everything was so delicious! Ordered a Brooklyn panini and Polo’s punch. Shared an order of pesto garlic park boneless wings which are a must have everytime we come. Service at the bar was amazing even for it being 12“

“This is a decent spot. We dined here with another couple on a busy Saturday night. It's a small space but well designed with mostly attentive service. For me, the standouts were the appetizers. We shared the chicken lollipops and pork belly. The chicken was so crispy and flavorful! We tried the arctic char and short ribs as entrees. Both were good but I wouldn't say exceptional or standout. I did thoroughly enjoy the grits that came with the short ribs. We also all split the earl grey tea tiramisu. It sounded interesting and innovative but missed the spot for us! It really did not feel like a tiramisu. I think I would have been more into it if it was called something else! It was tasty but unexpected given the name.“

“I've heard the term "out of body experience" before but could never truly say I've had one until I sank my teeth into a cheboygah (cheese burger for the layman's) at Village Saloon. Paired with fresh cut fries (fresh cuts for the hip) this cheboygah will change everything you ever thought was possible in culinary art. Their chilli is a meaty dense dark texture that warms the coldest souls from the darkest corners of the earth. My wife ventured into the land of poultry there by ordering a fried chicken special. All she lent me was half a wing in fear that she would run out of chicken too fast. Our server, I never got her name as she was also bartending / changing the lives of men and women who were experiencing the saloon, was nothing short of a messenger of God. Bringing food and drinks promptly and kindly and ensuring we did not faint out of pure bliss during our dining experience. All humans must enter this establishment and order a cheboygah. This is the only way to have the best in the universe. It will ruin all other boygahs for you at every place you ever get one. The fact that it comes with fresh cuts fried to superior excellence elevates your situation beyond your wildest dreams. Life begins anew when you leave here. There is nothing else but days of longing for the next time you get to go to Village Saloon.Kid-friendliness: Highchairs“

“The Second Half On Main exceeded my expectations in every way. From the delicious food to the incredibly friendly staff, every aspect of my experience was delightful. The portions were generous, and the prices were surprisingly affordable considering the quality of the food. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying meal in a welcoming atmosphere.“

“On vacation nearby & visited the Beacon on several occasions over last few weeks for drinks & food. Delicious, particularly recommend crab dip, seafood flatbread & burgers.Really enjoyed the live music and trivia night!Can’t wait to visit during the warmer months and spend time on the deck.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free catered for.“
