New Jersey has over three dozen gorgeous rivers, along with numerous tributaries, brooks, streams, and canals. Lucky for us, some of these rivers have restaurants right along their banks. While there are many kinds of waterfront dining experiences – ocean, lake, pool, and pond, there’s something so special about the steady flow of a river.
Enjoy your next meal riverfront at one of these fantastic restaurants in the Garden State. Please note that the list begins with North Jersey restaurants and ends with riverside spots in the southern portion of our state. Without further ado, here are some of the best riverfront restaurants in New Jersey.​
