Stopped in without a reservation on a Friday night around 6 pm and were lucky to find ourselves in a comfy booth after a short wait near the bar! (Next time we will deff make a reservation) Our waitress was great and let us enjoy our appetizer and drinks before putting in our entrees. We enjoyed the calamari, prime steak dip sandwich and crab cake sandwich (that one fell apart a little bit but still delicious). The draft list featured our favorites from our local breweries as well! Highly recommend Kitchen American Grill and we look forward to returning to explore the rest of the menu! read more

Kitchen American Grill - Prime Steak Dip - Bars Near Me - Whitehouse Station, New Jersey

Contemporary American restaurant with a nice loungey vibe. Server was very friendly. They had 2 specials and both sounded amazing - lobster bisque and chicken/kielbasa with pasta and garlic bread. The portions are quite generous. I was actually full by the end of the bisque but still had to at least try the pasta. There's more on the menu I wanted to try but that will have to wait for next time! read more

On my way to becoming my favorite kitchen!! Food: everything was delicious! I had French onion soup and chicken sandwich. Very tasty stuff! Hazelnut cuppuchino was not what I expected. I could do without hazelnut spread on the cup. Service: very friendly, informative and fast. Value: it was $45/person for food, dessert and a drink. Not bad. Parking: ample parking up front. Restrooms: very clean and well maintained. read more

Grabbing an early dinner. A pleasant surprise. Good burgers, excellent fries and craft drinks. Who could ask for more?

I've been back multiple times since my first review. It's consistently a great meal and excellent drinks. It's still packed on the weekends yet, service is always on point and quick. Rachael is the best! On my most recent visit, I discovered that their French Onion soup is the bomb. Can't wait to bring the kiddos back for that! read more

Delicious food, impeccable service. A rustic restaurant offering a variety of menu options and specials. The drink menu is also lengthy. Our waitress checked on us frequently and was so friendly. Definitely recommend! read more

What's all the hype about this place? They have nyc prices but it's basically a revamped diner with better food. I had their short rib dish, it was decent but definitely not worth the price point and quality that was served. I have been here 4-5 times, tried different dishes but I don't understand how this place is always busy. Much better places if you head a bit east. The dishes remind me of the food truck spot in Santa Monica by the beach. It's not a bad thing! read more

I haven't been here since it was the Readington Diner. We recently moved into the area and I decided I wanted to check it out. The interior is a complete 180° from when it was a diner. There's a long bench seat in the middle of the main dining area. The bar is to the right. My wife got a glass of Pinot Noir while I went with the beer flight (Long Jawns Winter Lager, Troegs Sunshine Pils, Allagash White, Sunken Silo Cool Story M). My wife ordered the grownup grilled cheese and I went with the signature burger. The grilled cheese came in Texas toast and was so thick, my wife could only eat half. She brought the rest home for lunch the next day. The burger was hot and juicy. It was also thicker than most ordinary burgers. For dessert, I went with the affogato (ice cream and a shot of espresso) with a glass of sambuca. Our waiter, Jose, was very friendly. read more

I visited here with my aunt, and we both loved it! I got the Grown Up Grilled Cheese, which came with red pepper and tomato bisque. I really enjoyed both, but the bisque was extra tasty. I also got a dessert that was great! Our waitress was super timely and friendly. I would definitely come back! read more

First time and Rachel was our server - she was absolutely amazing! A cozy place with good craft beer and drink selections, but limited menu was my critique. Food was delicious so I would imagine if they had more options/ specials how amazing that would be. Will def be back! read more

Great drinks, and solid gastropub food. The Boom boom cauliflower was crisp and flavorful. The Mac and cheese was great, and the adult grilled cheese was the perfect comfort food. It's randomly place on route 22, and closes at 10 pm on Saturdays. But the servers were friendly. Outside patio is perfect on a summer night. read more

I'll preface this post by saying; I've maybe left 1-2 reviews in my life & we eat out A LOT. While our waiter was great & food was decent for being located right on Rt 22... the pricing was outrageous! $6 for a chocolate milk.. an apple juice was almost as much as a beer.. 3 scoops of ice cream $33 (one was asked for a small scoop for a baby) ..tiny meatball app $24.. manager when asked about the ice cream cost was super unfriendly & rude. Most importantly - we hope Sophia's Shining Light foundation actually receives a "portion of proceeds" for the orders the restaurant mentions... Lastly, the restaurant smelled like a urinal ... read more

Wife and I came here for lunch! It was perfect because we sat outside and the weather was amazing spring temperatures. We had a wonderful time. Our service was friendly and on point! However, I did receive someone else burger, bit the mistake was corrected by the staff quickly. I got the burger and added salt to bring out the wonderful flavors. My wife got the hummus. read more

Honestly, my biggest gripe was that the water in the glass bottle they put on the table tasted very off. The food was just okay. Our server was very nice but didn't mention the specials to us, even though we heard her sharing them with the next table. Overall, it's a trendy spot with a bit of an overpriced menu and average food. read more

A nice no-frills place with good food and ambience. There's nothing really remarkable about it that sets it a part unfortunately. It does seem they are willing to try new things, like adding an outdoor porch, and at one point they had a traveling pastry chef come in on certain days of the week. But the overall menu is limited and feels stagnant. It really could benefit from having rotating specials. The food that is here, is quite good, but plays it rather safe. The staples you would imagine when you think "American fare" are here, but nothing beyond that. Though honestly, I just wish they had more on offer. read more

food is extremely disappointing and the service is terrible. When the salad came out incorrectly and asked the server to take it away, the manager came over and was extremely rude. Refusing to take it back. read more

A bar that closes on Sundays Food is interesting, and the service is spectacular. Expensive. I'm just left wondering about what makes this place "American". Bathrooms- 10/10 Food- 9/10 Beer- $/10 Liquor- $/10 Service- 10/10 Cons: - The fact that they named the restaurant "Kitchen" lol -The crazy overpriced drinks read more

Service was nice just ordered to go. Salmon was over cooked dry and unseasoned. It was so much dressing all the lettuce was limp & from the heat of the salmon borderline slimy, they should have put in separate container. Not returning the food isn't appealing or tasty at all. Seriously idk how this place has 4 stars unless everyone around here has bland taste buds read more

We recently made our second visit to Kitchen American Grill. We stopped in for an early dinner after coming home from a trip out of town, and we were happy to find them open on Monday afternoon at 3:45. They were only a couple of other tables occupied when we arrived at 3:45 PM on Monday afternoon. We were promptly seated, and received a friendly greeting from our server Stefania. Our friends each enjoyed a glass of white sangria, and my husband had a draft beer from a local brewery. Kitchen has several local draft beers on tap and a comprehensive listing of wine by the glass and by the bottle. My husband and I ordered the appetizer Caprese salad, which was among the best Caprese salad we've had. And it's July so the local tomatoes were perfectly ripe and the locally made mozzarella was a perfect accompaniment. Although it was a $19 salad, the portion was generous. Our friends shared the homemade vegetable lasagna, which they indicated was "incredible." I had the (3) shrimp tacos, which were tasty. The corn tortillas were fresh and the chipotle mayonnaise had just the right kick. They also allowed me to substitute coleslaw for the French fries that typically accompany the tacos. My husband had their pork chop, which is served with a mushroom demi-glace over a bed of mashed potatoes. This was one among the most tender juicy pork chops I've ever tasted at a restaurant. The portions here were generous, the service was great and we all enjoyed ourselves. My husband and I had dined here before during a busier time and the service and food were good then as well, I just hadn't written a review at that time. This is a great option if you're in the area. Note that they also have covered outdoor seating as well as the dining room. read more

It was pretty busy on a Monday night around 7 for dinner. We had a party of 6 and were surrounded by parties of 3 or more. The décor was cool, the lighting was right and the menu looked like it had something for everyone. I enjoyed my time dining in the restaurant but I just plainly did not enjoy my food. Towards the end of the meal I glanced around the table and nobody finished their food and all said "it's just ok" when they were asked how their dinner was. I had a turkey burger for dinner and shared an apple tart for dessert. If I came back it would probably be for a couple of beers. The vibes were on, the food was just not it for me. read more

Had a great experience here and our waiter had an incredible attitude. Really brightened our day after a long week of work. We got the pork chop and signature burger. The mash potatoes and fries that came with our meal was so delicious. Could not get enough of it! I really enjoyed the mushrooms and gravy that came with my dish as well, flavor and texture was well balanced. Pork chop was slightly on the more salty side but I was able to match it with the mash potatoes to rebalance the flavor. read more

Nice decor but food was not that great. My wife got a salad that could've been pretty good but they drenched it in dressing and she did ask for it on the side. Adult grilled cheese is ok with a dipping soup they provide. It wasn't my pick but we got zucchini sticks and they were no bueno. Borderline ask to send back to kitchen bad but I don't like to do that. Best thing we ordered were the shrimp tacos. If i was to go back for some reason I would get them. Waiter was nice enough but i would not say great service. read more

Food was pretty good, but way overpriced. We got a burger and a steak sandwich the burger was $20 and the sandwich was $24. Both were good but not that good. Ambience was a little odd. It seemed as if they were trying to be trendy, but fell short. Overall it thought the place was ok. It wouldn't be my first choice. I wouldn't choose to go there, but if the group I was with wanted to go I would go. read more

Let me start by saying Kitchen American Grill is excellent! Waaaaay better than pubgrub joints, this place has elevated simple Grill food to levels in the stratus! Friendly service, nice atmosphere, and clean. Food nothing short of stellar! Now, for the suggestions..we sat in the bar area booth, so not sure if/how this impacts our review. Timing of appetizers and arrival of entries was off. Not even half done with appetizers, when mains arrived. Always creates some table havoc. Since server was also tending bar, getting drinks ordered and refilled timely was a challenge as well. Again, could this be due to a busy night in the bar area? Don't know. We enjoyed our visit, the spectacular food, environment, and welcoming attitude will certainly prompt our repeated returns. Go here. read more

What a special lunch I enjoyed with my 5 year old granddaughter at Kitchen American Grill when she had an early dismissal from school! Our server Rachel C, went above and beyond to ensure it was a memorable experience! Rachel was wonderful treating both myself and my granddaughter as if we were the only ones in the restaurant! She paid tremendous attention to detail, even bringing a separate small bowl of whip cream on a bread plate when asking for a small ramekin on the side for our shared dessert. (The carrot cake was absolutely delicious...beautiful presentation!) The food too, was awesome! All 3 generous sized kids chicken tenders were gone, and my black bean burger with sweet potato fries likewise didn't stand a chance! Rachel never made us feel rushed either, which was very nice. Opportunities for special luncheons like this with my granddaughter do not happen too often, as she has 2 younger brothers (who like to be included), and a sister due to join the family in less than 2 weeks! Rachel later shared that she use to go out to lunch with her grandmother when she was a little girl, and to this day, still meets with her once a week for lunch...such a sweetheart! Kitchen American Grill is truly blessed to have such a gem as Rachel to treat their guests like Royalty!! read more

First visit to this new place. Great interior, newly remodeled. Good but not extensive selection of wine, the Boen Pinot Noir was good as was the dry martini. Brewhouse fries and calamari appetizer were above average. The Mediterranean Grouper and shrimp with sautéed organic heirloom carrots was delicious. Minor hiccup on the order but I'm sure they'll improve with time. Will be back with friends. read more

Went here today for the first time for lunch. Enjoyed our drinks and appetizers- the coffees were really good! My turkey burger was decent but could have had more flavor, but other than that everything else was great. The chocolate cake was amazing as well! The service was excellent, and I really liked the atmosphere inside. The only suggestion I would make is if possible, in the future it may be nice to include some brunch items to your menu. It would be the perfect place for say, some coffee and French toast/omelette , for example. read more

My husband and I stopped in around 4:30 on a Saturday. Place wasn't crowded. We ordered a $21 appetizer, beer and soda when we sat down. When it came time to order our meal, I wasn't very hungry so I told the waitress we were just going to share the French Dip sandwich. I literally was planning to take a few bites of my husband's sandwich. She informed us that they would charge a $5 fee for sharing. I was shocked since we did order a pricey appetizer. I asked to speak to the manager. He approached the table with his arms crossed and a less then friendly attitude. I told him that it is ridiculous to charge $5 considering our appetizer was almost as much as the sandwich we ordered. He said - "I know if feels like a money grab" but that was the new policy. I told him it WAS a money grab and they would lose a customer as a result. He honestly didn't seem to care nor understood that the $21 appetizer was the equivalent price of a meal. I chose NOT to share my husband's sandwich. Our final bill was $73 for 1 appetizer, a sandwich, two beers and a soda. The place is over priced to begin with and now a fee for sharing, we won't return. Poor decision on the restaurant's management to do this. read more

Been to the kitchen many times...love the grouper Reuben..mom loves the shrimp tacos..

I really enjoyed our experience here recently. The drinks were fantastic , pork belly app was really great , I had the shrimp tacos and the shrimp was prepared beautifully . Some gluten free options but there is no gf fryer (which is fine for me as I have an allergy, not celiac) ... for gluten free - besides tacos , they have a few different salads , or chicken/steak/fish entrees (all meat entrees are $32+) I enjoyed the tacos and will be back to try more stuff and for more fun drinks . read more
