Best American Restaurants in Palisades Park

Fernando was the best bus person, very attentive thank you!

I mixed up our reservations but the hostess accomdated us. The food was divine- collard greens and corbread, shrimp and grits, and of course the yardbird. Apple pie for dessert was also exceptional. Loved the vibe inside w yhe music and the outdoor patio was nice too.

Food was delicious. The service left something to be desired.

The Garden State is incredibly diverse, with a variety of nationalities having a major impact on exactly how New Jersey is, particularly when it comes to the extensive choice of international food patrons can enjoy. A favorite for many is Greek cuisine, with a number of delicious restaurants that can savor a sliver of the Greek islands year-round. Based on the staples of the Mediterranean diet, its culinary culture became more sophisticated as part of the Byzantine and the Ottoman Empire, receiving many influences at the crossroads where the East and the West meet. Located on Main Street in the heart of Ridgefield Park since 2004 and named after the owner’s hometown, Sparta Taverna is a family-style BYOB establishment. A reservation was easily made for dinner via OpenTable. Upon entering this cozy, casual, and inviting vibe as first-timers to celebrate an early birthday, my partner, our friends, and I were greeted by the staff and got a table immediately surrounded by hand-painted Greek scenes. Their menu was extensive, with the iconic favorites such as gyros, souvlaki, and other comfort food dishes with vegetarian options. As appetizers, we decided on the Dolmadakia - Stuffed Grape Leaves, Saganaki Cheese, and Fried Calamari. For entrees, we opted for Sparta Beef Gyro Pita, Chicken Chipotle on Gluten-Free Wrap, Spanakopita, Hamburger, Pastichio, and Sparta Fries. For dessert, the rice pudding with a birthday candle arrived, and we shared a slice of carrot cake. Complimentary pita bread with garlic hummus started our meal. Our food was authentically made fresh using healthy ingredients with bold flavors, making it one of the most delightful meals. The portion was a healthy size. The service was friendly and gracious without being overbearing; our server was Carolina. The price was reasonable for the area. Another exceptional dining experience for the book, which we can recommend.
