Best American Restaurants in South Plainfield

Hello - upon the waiter's description - I went with the Kansas City strip bone in. The steak was terrible - loaded with thick knife proof grizzle. The steak was not meant to leave the kitchen . The scallops were great along with the sides . Very disappointed for my first visit.

As always superb in all ways great food great people

Food was amazing- it’s a must when in town - close to Rutgers, great ambiance, nice choices on menu, tasting menu is an option as well! Service was great- :))

Our traditional Valentine's dinner at White Castle is the best! Sliders are top notch, the staff is fun and the atmosphere is happy!

Red Lobster South Plainfield, NJ is a good choice! We ordered two very good meals, the Seafarer's Feast and the Mariner's Feast (both in the $30.00 price range.) One platter was Fried Shrimp, grilled Maine Lobster tail, Garlic Shrimp, and a skewer of 4 fantastic scallops. The other was Fried Shrimp, the skewer of scallops, and Salmon topped with Langostino sauce. Each came with a choice of two sides and the Cheddar Bay biscuits. Our choices were garden salad and mashed potatoes. Everything was very good! Our waiter was new but very concerned about doing a good job; he checked with us several times, and I also heard him asking another customer if his cocktail had come out the way he requested. That customer was also very satisfied and joked with the server. Another server who recognized us (I was surprised by that), came over just to ask how our grandchildren were doing because she remembered their photos from a previous visit. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The only real drawback to most of the Red Lobster chain is the somewhat dated decor. I can live with that.
