The American Hotel - Market Yard Grille

Great restaurant for a fun night out. Bartenders are polite and proficient. Foo choices are amazing - there is something for everyone! Live music made the end of the night even more fun. I would not recommend this place on a Saturday if you want intimate conversation, but it is a fabulous restaurant for a night out with friends or a quiet date night during the week.

Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable. Food was delicious.

Overpriced. The filet mignon was so tiny and tough, how is this possible?
The food was bland and wasn't seasoned at all.

Valentines day

The brunch was lovely and the staff was delightful!

Place was very busy in the catering end which I believe affected the kitchen in the restaurant. Service was terrible. Bus girl didn’t understand any English and the waiter never once came over to the table, except to bring the bill.

Reservation was for 7:30, we sat and ordered immediately. Appetizer didn’t come until 8:05 and dinner wasn’t served until 9:00. Steaks were over cooked.

We go to this restaurant quite often and have never been skunked like this. We also never went on a Saturday night like we did this particular evening.

Very nice evening

Always a good time. Great food and service. Very nice winter ambiance.

Always a great experience but a little pricey. They also alway want to upsell you with a 10.00 pitcher of mamossa.

We had gone in the past to the brunch and found it exceptional. This time we just went for lunch and we were very pleased. Food was sumptuous and we will return!

We love their Sunday brunch. $10 carafe of bloody Mary’s and mimosas are great for the $38 buffet. When we arrived for our 12:30 reservations was no omelette chef it anyone at the carving station. He came out later and he was the only one for both stations.

The food was really good . It was a lively crowd .

Delicious food, good service, friendly staff. Enjoyed our evening with friends. We sat and chatted and were not rushed

Absolutely take advantage of half price wine night I think its Wednesday but call ahead if Joey is working the bar, he's excellent. Sit there or get a table. They also have booths. Haley was our server and she was also wonderful. Knew the menu, the specials and when we asked she gave us her opinion on the specials. We had the artichoke hearts as an appetizer my wife added steak to her salad and she asked if my wife preferred Filet or NY Strip. How's that for service?

New Years Eve

Just an all around great restaurant. The owner makes his way to as many tables as possible and you can tell he really cares...

Food & service were excellent. We just were not happy with are table location right by the kitchen. It was NYE with many empty table & the guy would not give us a different table.

Our waitor, Jim, was outstanding and catered to my friends at I on NYE-to our every annoying whim! The meal was delicious-surf and turf for the win-and we finished with picture perfect desserts. Really delicious and worth every penny. I enjoyed that the owner stopped over to our table to check-in and welcomed us...really nice table touch. The ambiance is perfect and classy - really well done American Hotel! I will be back!

The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars was the person who checked us in with our reservation. He did not acknowledge us nor did he speak to us. It felt like we were bothering him. Everyone else was outstanding as was the food.

Server was very friendly

Cesar salad was not a Cesar salad. Had no flavor. white anchovies not good.
our waiter was not professional, didn't even tell us the specials for dinner.
prime rib my husband had was dry and not juicy.

Server was very attentive and friendly

Has ambiance, great food and drink. It’s also cozy and you can actually have a conversation without the some crazy loud music taking over.

I love the food and the atmosphere here. Never disappointed!

Good food and good service. We enjoyed the cocktails we had prior to dinner.

My wife and I went to The American Hotel for our anniversary. It’s one of our favorite restaurants in the Freehold area. Our meal was great. The service was great. We really enjoyed our night.

Found this on opentable while looking for a place to have thanksgiving with my family ( a 94 yo in a wheel chair, 4 other adults and 2 kids under 4). it more then exceeded our expectations - besides everyone there being accommodating with high chairs, wheel chairs, etc. the staff was so attentive. the food --- unbelievable. I cook and struggle going out for holidays - I think that the meal was as good if not better then if I cooked myself. They had a great amount of options for kids - then the dessert table.. unreal. overall just a fantastic experience. We were fortunate enough to spend some time with the owner of the hotel - we kept telling him how happy we were to have found this gem!

My family took me out to celebrate my birthday. It was great. We usually come for Easter brunch but it was nice to come not as crowded!
My only complaint is the dessert table could have been better

Last minute we decided to book a table here with another couple. The drinks were great, the burger is the best. You just can’t go wrong with the American Hotel. If you just want to hang at the bar or grab a bite to eat it’s a friendly lively place with good food.

Wednesdays are always the night to go to Market Yard Grill as all bottles of wine are half-price and there are seafood specials.
Tonight, our server, Gary, provided EXCELLENT service tonight....the best I have encountered in the past 5 years!! He was both engaging and efficient .... Our glasses were never empty and dishes/cutlery were always fresh.

All management and staff super friendly

Special fall menu items highly recommended. Server very friendly and helpful. Only suggestion for improvement is the length of time to deliver food.

Our group had an enjoyable dinner and would definitely return. Never disappointed and always accommodating. Great food choices! Kudos to the chef!

First time here. Calamari app very large portion good thing we shared. Salmon,sauerbraten and Wiener schnitzel all very good. Nice waitress and quiet for a change

I thought it was great outdoor seating, but priced alitte.high for the amount of food

I was not impressed. The restaurant was relatively empty on Sunday @6:30 pm. It took 3 tries for my drink order yo come properly. The rare tuna came out too well done for one of my friends and potatoes were served to another when they ordered vegetables instead of potatoes. The restaurant made good on serving the correct food. They made no attempt at substantially apologizing by comping a meal or even a dessert. I see no reason for the multiple errors affecting 3 out of 6 diners in one party.

Always great food. The servers are attentive and the chef will make your dish to order. The live music is always a bonus!

Great food and selection!

First time customers but we will be back. Great food choices and my husband and I are both very happy with our meals. Service was exceptional.

This place can be very noisy on weekends and Thursday nights. But on a Sunday evening it is only modestly busy and very nice and relaxing. Good for Sunday family dinner.
