43 Best American Restaurants near Highland

“I have played the course for fundraiser activities but have never stopped by just for a meal. I've been here two times in one month for lunch just recently and I highly recommend. Chicken pesto with tomato and mozzarella paninni is outstanding. Everthing is superfresh and very tasty. My friends had the shrimp with avocado wrap and said the same. It was quite busy and therefore the service was slow(they seemed a little shorthanded) but she was extremely pleasant. Of course the Atmosphere is uncomparably beautiful.“

“Every single meal we are always happy with the excellent quality and consistent quality of our food! The service is always excellent! I managed to turn another generation into fans of Sals! They always want to eat at Sals. It’s no mystery why this business has been successful for decades!“

“We went looking for a gluten free lunch and they had a great menu strictly for celiacs. The place smelled like heaven and the food was great. The people were very friendly too. All in all highly recommendDietary restrictions: They had a gluten free and vegan menu.“

“Overall, the experience there was absolutely wonderful the staff, including the wine connoisseur who help me understand about a new way of making Pino Noir, was friendly and very knowledgeable. Per the waiter, the chef recommended serving our lamb, medium rare however, when I received my mail, it was cooked more of a medium well. I also felt when ordering a dessert cocktail should've been informed it was cold rather than hot. It was delicious, but just a little surprising that it came as a cool beverage as opposed to what I believe to be a hot beverage. Still a wonderful evening and would always recommend to anyone coming to the Hudson Valley to try to see this amazing facility“

“Great steaks“

“The Falcon is a must for any music lover. This is the Bluebird Cafe of the northeast that hosts a wide variety of artists in an intimate atmosphere. Catch an evening show and have dinner there.“

“So glad this place is here. No need to drive to POK. The panini are fresh, delicious and tasty!! I got some chicken salads. This could be hit or miss, a lot of times with too much mayo or not enough seasoning. This was spot on. Pickles are lovely and crispy. We walked in with no one there and all before 1130 the place was packed w regulars. By 11:50 all of our food was wolfed down. Insert happy babies and happy mom. Thanks for the advice, patience in choosing breads, and a FAST, convenient, lovely and easy lunchtime fix. Would Definitely recommend and return. The space is a market selling spice blends, pickles , and sauces. To the right is the kitchen where the magic happens. An efficient space and friendly service w a smile.“

“Wonderful music, food and great ambience. Highly recommended.“

“Can't speak much to the dinner, but cocktail hour was good and the grounds are always pretty! The staff were also super helpful and kept making sure the DJ and I were doing alright and see if we needed anything! A great spot for a wedding!“

“Bryce at Novellas was amazing from start to finish. He was supportive, easy to talk to, and reliable. I appreciate all of his help over the past few months. Especially during the difficult moments. You’re the best, truly!I definitely recommend Novellas for your next event!“

“I stopped here to get a light lunch and for a rest stop during a road trip. Although the listing makes it seem like a food court, it is actually a single ordering counter that offers coffees and a variety of prepared food items. I wanted something light, so I tried the empanadas with chimichurri. Although the portion size was good, the filling tasted like "sloppy Joe" meat, and the sauce was sweet. The restaurant has ample indoor seating, and a nice outdoor deck. Parking is limited, and I was lucky to arrive before the lunchtime crowd.“

“Great food and great service will definitely be back“

“I’ve visited the B-Side Grill a few times before I decided to do this review on it because I felt like they truly deserved a good one.I arrived at the B-Side Grill on a Tuesday at around 2 PM. There was a family of three as well as a group of four younger patrons also inside with room to spare in the form of booths and picnic tables and benches. It has a very apparent outdoor feel.Their menus are creative with quite a few choices covering all the key food areas like wraps, burgers and the like, but mostly standard with quite an array of breakfast items. I decided after looking to try one of the signature Wraps called the Method Man which consisted of Mozzarella, baby spinach, homemade bruschetta, roasted peppers under a balsamic reduction.They also possess some other neat wraps named My Cousin Vinny (Philly Cheese), Apple Bottom Greens (Turkey, apples, bacon, cheddar cheese, chipotle mayo, greens and tomatoes), etc.There is certainly something for everyone on their menu!I was greeted right away and my order was taken almost immediately by a nice young man. He was extremely courteous and attentive during my visit.Each time I’ve visited (maybe 6 times), the entire staff has always been extremely friendly, courteous, and fairly efficient.Compared to others with similar appeal and menus I would say they are more affordable.The chicken fingers (3) and fries at the time was $8.95 & my “Method Man” wrap (and all wraps) was $12.95.The theme inside is quite obviously music being the main ingredient as you can see in the photos. Records everywhere, vintage pieces that give it a real nice design. For me, I enjoyed the atmosphere, but I did give that portion only four stars because it was a bit busy and perhaps maybe looked at as slightly over the top. I would prefer a little more of a clean look and probably keep the ceiling clear.After briefly looking over the extensive menu, I decided to order a Method Man wrap which is one of their signature wraps, as well as some chicken fingers appetizer. I know the wrap is simple enough to make but both came out at the same time and I wasn’t asked what I prefer.Both orders came with a nice sized portion of fries, which I must say are much better than many I’ve tasted at other restaurants . They were not oily or salty, cooked just right for my taste.The Method Man is absolutely delicious and the wrap itself is quite big with only finishing half and taking half home after eating all of the chicken fingers and one order of fries. It is easy to see that all the veggie parts of my wrap as well as the cheese was super fresh, light and very tasty.The chicken fingers were definitely on the upper level of quality as compared to all the others that I’ve had before. Cooked correct and brought to the table with the right temperature so I could eat soon after it arrived.I would absolutely recommend both dishes.On other occasions I’ve usually had breakfast, which in my opinion is what this small venue is known in town for. They always have a large number of take out orders lined up and are usually very busy in that regard.It does contain a small bathroom for customers which I thought was very good, stocked well. I would just recommend they do weekly dusting at the top since it was very apparent they had not. However, the restaurant in general was very clean and seemed well taken care of.I left feeling full, leftovers in hand and my wallet wasn’t much lighter at all.If you are in the town of New Paltz and on Main Street I would absolutely recommend them for breakfast and perhaps lunch!“

“My fave vegan spot in New Paltz. Food is delish and staff is delightful. Puppy friendly with indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of GF optionsVegetarian options: Everything is veganDietary restrictions: In addition to being all vegan, there are lots of GF options, and everything la elements and adjustable so you can avoid nuts, seeds wtc.Kid-friendliness: Totally kid friendly“

“Amazing food! Amazing service! The conch fritters were amazing. I had the ahi tuna it was wonderful. And I also had a bite of the filet. It was fantastic as well!“

“The food is delicious and reasonably priced and prepared by a Chef that takes his craft serious.“

“This is really a cute place. Has great food. Great atmosphere. It is family friendly and they also have a nightlife as well. I will definitely be going back. You must try their weekend brunchParking: There is parking on both sides of the restaurantKid-friendliness: The place is kid friendly. Family friendly“

“What's not to love? This Wappingers spot is right in town, they serve up tasty food, quality beverages, and the staff will treat you well. The bar is quite nice, and definitely clean. Even better, when it's nice outside, there's an adorable back deck that's perfect for sipping a cider, or one of their serious selection of craft beers on tap. There are also cocktails available, but they seem to truly care about the tap selection. Right now they've got a 16% ABV stout out of Brooklyn on tap, which is downright dangerous. This seems like the rare bar that not only fries things well, but it also cares about the rest of its menu too. No one is ever sad about bang bang shrimp and chicken fingers and fries (we order like adults around here), but the salads are very solid as well. There are even vegetarian and vegan options for your friends who aren't quite as meaty (technical term). And that's all I have to say about that.“

“A really nice coffee shop off the beaten path in New Paltz. They have a good menu with all your typical drinks with some seasonal specials. I highly recommend the amaretto and campfire specials. They served baked goods and food and both are fresh and tasty. It is a smaller space with limited seating. I personally love the back porch. It is a bit colder outside, but the view makes it worth it. Service is decently paced unless it's Uber busy, then it could be a bit slower, but it's not anything too extremely long. Staff are quite friendly. Would recommend“

“Monday night Prime Rib was amazing. Im a salt-o-holic i didn't need salt on my prime rib it was perfect when dipped in the sauce. Service well everyone knows everyone in the place a true local pub. But duper friendly staff. Felt like you could just belong here if you wanted to. Lots of cool decor!“

“Hands down my favorite place in New Paltz for lunch or dinner, dine-in or takeout. First-rate food, excellent preparation in a kitchen visible from the dining room and the best staff in the business. Cannot recommend Lola's Cafe New Paltz enough–five stars and A+“

“The food is amazing! The atmosphere friendly & delightful! Prices are appropriate & affordable. Oh my gosh, the Winter salad is divine! They accommodated our party of nine easily. I will visit every time I am in the area! Five stars!“

“I tried the stuffed eggplant rollatini that was on the appetizer special. I was hesitant at first because that style of food is rarely on the menu. Well OMG I’m glad I tried it! Another fav to add to my list!“

“Love this little bar. There's even a small balcony with a view to the Gunks, and a little raised bed of herbs that the bartender uses for drinks... so fresh lavender in your cocktail...be still my senses, only one at a time please! Service is always lovely and welcoming. If you like Bourbon, a cocktail called the "Bees Knees" is the way to go.“

“What a hidden gem! Henry’s at the Farm is such an amazing find- went here for a friend’s Bachelorette Brunch- I live only 25 minutes away and I wish I knew this place existed sooner— everyone loved their food and drinks- I am the hard one in the group since I have some dietary restrictions and the server was a champ and made some suggestions of changes to some dishes and meal was perfect- everyone loved their cocktails- and mocktails which were creative and beautifully presented. The service was great- the dining room and bar were beautiful and the grounds and farm also gorgeous- next time hope to come earlier to explore the property more- what an amazing place! Looking forward to the next occasion to return.Dietary restrictions: The server helped me navigate the menu and helped me figure out substitutions and dishes that I could have- super helpful.“

“Great place to hang with friends“

“great as usually, Stuffed . excellent staff and food. been coming since 1994!“

“Great quiet mid week spot. Friendly and attentive bartender. Prices are average for the area. Food was not really that great. Chicken tenders were overcooked. Wings were not crispy at all. A soggy wing is a no no... Overall a good experience and I will be back.“

“Love this place...great service, food and atmosphere... My husband and I will be back...“

“Yesterday, my sorority alumni met at Maggie Mae's for our fall luncheon. My seat had the perfect view of changing fall leaves. The weather here on Long Island was absolutely horrible. When I set out on my road trip upstate, I almost turned around and went home. I am so glad that I didn't! Not only did I share some funny memories and have some good laughs with my sisters of all ages, but I had an incredible lunch, followed by a dessert that almost literally blew me away! I'll post the pictures, but I'll tell you that I had a delicious chicken francaise with asparagus and the most wonderful mashed potatoes. I saved most of the potatoes for last, with a fair bit of the sauce. I only wish that I had brought a rubber scraper with me so I could get every last delicious speck of mashed potatoes. Then came my favorite part: dessert! The menu describesit as a rich chocolate Guinness cake with cream cheese frosting. Yelp reader, I am a Guinness girl. However, I could not begin to conceptualize how the two flavors would work together. Not only did they work together wonderfully, but the cream cheese frosting put an interesting sweet little twist on the flavor. I have a terrible sweet tooth. and when I find a sweet that I like, I just can't get enough of it. I wish I could have another piece of that cake right now...“

“Been coming here since I got my license, that was 40 years ago. Now that I live in New Paltz I try to get there once a week. Party platter, Chicken BLT, Mac Truck burger or Nachos with Chili is what I usually get. A Guinness is always available and great smiles from all the servers and bartenders. Never been disappointed not once.Parking: If you are lucky you'll be able to park right out front. If not the entire street has parking as well as across the street there's a huge parking lot.“

“Very friendly! Great atmosphere, great employees! Overall a great place to hang! And they support a great cause in the ride to end suicide. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“This gem will bring you back to fancy restaurants of a bygone era. There’s a working fireplace in the center of the dining room. Very romantic! The staff were on it. Very professional and kind. Hubby had the Parmesan crusted swordfish and said it was deliciously moist. I went with the bone in filet. What generous portions! At a steak house this would have been marked up and not come with all the delicious fresh vegetables. Come hungry and leave happy.Parking: Lots of room“

“Lady K was so accommodating to my gluten allergy. She sat down with me and told me exactly what she could prepare gluten free and it was all absolutely delicious and Lady K is the sweetest.Dietary restrictions: Lady K is able to make most menu items gluten free.“

“I don't get to go here often, but man, their subs are the bomb. It feels like an old school deli and i love it. They slice the meat off fresh pretty much right onto your sub. The price is about the same as the average for the Hudson valley. Between $8-10.“

“This place is such a hidden gem of the Hudson valley. You can walk right past it thinking it’s just an old building from the exterior, but walk inside and you will be delightfully surprised. It offers one of my favorite restaurant views of the Hudson River. The food is amazing and really varied. I would highly recommend the burger, steak, or pork chops. My wife didn’t like the veggie burger, but she did love the French onion soup.Vegetarian options: Veggie burger is not great.“

“Been wanting to try this place for some time now and it did not disappoint! Family owned and operated. I got the Lobster Bake with Fries and Crab Cake Appetizer. Absolutely phenomenal food and very fresh! Will be coming here again with friends.“

“Basic greasy diner fare. 3.8 overall.LOVED:The Benedict choices. I had the Red and Green light (I think that's the name) and had them hold the English muffins to make it gluten-free. It was tasty.The atmosphere. Hopping. Great happy vibe.The price. Totally reasonable with some very economical choices.LIKED:The food was tasty enough. Nothing special but good enough comfort diner food and fresher and less greasy than your old fashioned diner food...so more edible and healthy.“
