Best authentic American food in America
What is “American food”? What comes to mind when we say “American food”? Honestly, I think of the dishes our parents cooked for us growing up. Pot roast, meatloaf and mashed potatoes, chicken, burgers, steak and potatoes, chicken pot pie, etc.
That sounds like a great list of comfort food that makes my list of the best American dishes. Let’s explore the best of the country and our pick for the Garden State.
According to an article by Love foodthey’ve compiled a list of the BEST places for authentic American food. They’ve got the pick for New Jersey and it’s an iconic Jersey restaurant, a traditional Jersey diner.

Tops Diner in Newark was chosen as the restaurant with the best American food. “Consistently ranked among the most popular in the country, Tops Diner is a New Jersey icon. Serving absolutely massive portions of American classics from the early hours of the morning until late at night, the food is simply impeccable. Popular items on the menu include lobster mac ‘n’ cheese, French toast, buttermilk pancakes, and chicken and waffles for those brave enough to take on a huge plate.”
