Is Jersey's BEST Steakhouse Worth The Hype? The River Palm Terrace
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The River Palm Terrace in Edgewater is frequently mentioned amongst the best steakhouses in New Jersey. Rankings may differ as to which specifically is Jersey's best steak, but The River Palm Terrace is consistently in the top three, if not top two, of these lists, so in my mind that makes it pretty much the best! It's located in beautiful Edgewater, which is right by Fort Lee, and has amazing views of the Manhattan skyline and the George Washington Bridge.
While we have eaten at many of the best steakhouses in NYC, such as Keens Steakhouse, Peter Luger, Gallaghers, and Sparks just to name a few, The River Palm Terrace being almost unanimously regarded as one of the best steaks in Jersey, if not one of the best steaks in New York area, may put it right up there with all the others! New Jersey is a very diverse state and filled with an excellent food scene and culture, so any restaurant in the Garden State that is getting attention is absolutely worth checking out!

My Irish wife once got us a reservation there saying that she represented U2s management and possibly a member of the band would be joining us , asking politely if we could get a secluded table at the last minute on a Saturday night. The waiter knew that we were full of crap but played the game. I loved the place.
@@packiejoegilheany1171 Good Irish Jersey thinking.
When I was a sever back in the 90s I gave everyone the superstar treatment , the restaurant I worked for charges and arm and a leg and the tips are huge , you have no choice but to take care of your guests.
@@brucelee5576 We all couldve been nicer. ✌
Haha amazing. Thanks for sharing your connection to the place!
@@meiguoren66 Bronx thinking. We were treating my Jersey cousins to dinner and wanted something nice. A friend recommended that place. Great Italian and Indian food in Jersey though, I was surprised.
I love your page, but I have one huge critique. You get way too descriptive for too long and by the time you actually try the food in itself it’s off or cold.
You should eat first and then give you an honest review of how it taste and how is properly served
Otherwise, keep up the great work🏆
THIS!
You are absolutely correct. A great steak doesn't need a sauce, much less catsup! The steak looks great, perfectly cooked. Nice review.
Steak is pretty bland on its own and fattiness can only take you so far in flavor you need something sweet, sour, spicy and earthy to balance it out.
@@BlackJesus8463 Bland? not the steal I eat,,,, Have a nice day W Jesus,,,,,
$27 for two sushi pieces is insane!
O-toro is a really expensive cut. So honestly for a NYC high end sushi place it would be normal. But what he got didn't seem like it was the same quality, plus the wasabi and whatnot was really cheap quality.
Eating Uncooked Fish that Can Kill You is Insane! Otherwise I could easily afford it...
@@markmower6507 I would look into why sushi is (generally*) safe to consume raw. There are quite a few safeguards.
* Generally safe in the US, as in the sourcing matters. I would likely say a place like this is just fine. In places like Japan, getting sick from sushi is basically a non issue. Even pregnant people consume it like any other food.
You obviously have never tried good sushi. Granted, toro is significantly more expensive in US than it is currently in Japan even with a still strong but sinking Dollar/Yen exchange.
More importantly, UA's street cred just jumped dramatically by zeroing in on the toro in that menu! But, I question that NJ restaurant's ability to produce GOOD rice fitting for toro as well as using proper wasabi. So for that restaurant, it was overpriced. LA has much better toro for $20/2.
@@markmower6507 I bet you like your steak well done too.
I used to live up the hill from River Palm. I'd go there for lunch 2-3 times a week. We moved up north across the border in NY. They used to have a location in Mahwah and Fairlawn, but I think the partners decided to go separate ways. The Mahwah location is now called RP Prime. We've been going there a lot lately. You should check it out.
I used to go there 4-5 times a week
Mahwah has unexpectedly great food
Have been curiously how the rebranded locations were. Never went to River Palm because I’m a straight up ribeye guy which they didn’t offer. I noticed RP offers one and have been wanting to check out the Fair Lawn location.
@@th6252 River Palm in Edgewater used to offer a dry-aged tomahawk. Not sure if they have that anymore.
@@NowhereForMeToSit never saw that on the menu but good to know. Do you remember how far back that was?
I'm convinced you like cold food! Eating potatoes and cold green beans 15 minutes later would be disgusting anywhere!
@@chrislillback8462 yep ! And the food massage thing . He can turn the toughest pastrami into award winning.
When I think of Fort Lee, I think "Let's have some traffic!"
When I think of Fort Lee, New Jersey, I think of Mr. Richard Feder. 😊
Bridgegate!!😮
I think the legacy broadcast studios of CNBC.
"Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee." Governing at its finest.
I think Korean food!
Another great video UA. Steak looked tasty
Nice vid like always
I like your reviews pretty honest and stayed on track
Thank you!
I have a pet peeve for cold butter served with bread. It makes all the sense in the world to me to soften the butter so it spreads easily and seems like an oversight to not do so. You've opened my eye to this though UA. Maybe it's supposed to be cold and eaten with bread like a slice of cheese like you did??? Love your videos! Keep it up!
Cold butter with bread is dumb. I’m with you
your videos are so well done...i appreciate how you depict every aspect even down to the butter...i am a new subscriber and will be for life...thank you
Thank you for the kind words!
Great video❤❤ i really enjoyed it! And eventho the waiter was a bit nosy you kept your review honest. I appreciate that!! Keep it up!
Nueske's bacon on the menu! From little old Wittenberg Wisconsin! See we do have more than just cheese here! Love your reviews UA! Maybe we'll get you here sometime for a good old Wisconsin Friday night fish fry at a Supper Club. Talk about your 50's and 60's vibe!
Capital Grille serves Nueske's bacon as an appetizer also!
It’s always so funny to me that all of these famous, fancy places advertise that they have Nueske’s and it’s all coming out of a relatively small facility in the middle of a tiny town 😂
Just a recommendation - try all the food right as they come out and then start your review. The fries would probably have tasted better when they first brought it out. Or you could try voiceover review afterwards. Looking forward to more videos!
Exactly he talks waaaaay to dam much and fondeles the food ! Really
@@johnkovalicky3389 he doesnt fondle the food. he straight up molests it 🤢
@@johnkovalicky3389It’s like it’s the first time he’s been to a restaurant. Even when my kids were really young - they weren’t that bad at the table.
This!
He needs to drag out his video time to make more $$$ from the views. UA does not respect his viewer’s time nor the places and people he interacts with while dining.
Keep pumping those videos out buddy!
Doing my best!
Even though I am vegetarian, nothing makes me more happy than seeing people eat good food and enjoy it 😊
5 minute drive from me.. every visit has been enjoyable.. great work
The onions are usually called, onion straws, and are crispy, if they don’t sit around too long.
any fried alliums
Dave was my waiter last time I ate there. River Palm is consistently excellent.
I remember the commercials for this place in the early 2000’s. It was just a ripping sizzling steak and their logo with a voice over. Always wanted to go.
"the only restaurant who starts preparing your steak 28 days before you arrive."
This place is an absolute treasure. I would put it up against any nyc steakhouse, without the ridiculous tolls. 🥩
Yeaaa keep lying to yourself 😂.
🤡
UA, can you review the capital grille? I used to work there, would like to hear what you would say about this place.
if its not pastrami, its gonna be a steak video
anything is better than crustaceans.
lol
Looks great, but that appetizer for 27 bucks, you have to be kidding!
You never had better.
Hey UA! Big up to you for listening to my recommendation to visit my favorite place in the WORLD - that I could eat at every night if I could afford it :) So many great items on the menu always. For Sushi you should have done the Otoro Tartare. That is exquisite. Glad you liked it as much as I do. TBH RPT is the thing I miss most about the East Coast. The kitchen will also take requests like Au Poivre sauce etc to come out with your steak. Used to be the Best Burger Deal for $10 lunch too. I think now they are $15
I’m glad to see flip-flops are not allowed. Too many adults are wearing them in public. They are appropriate at the ocean or around the pool only.
Look how long u let the Potatoes sit there before u ate them, there going to be soft and mushy
LOL another dude living in his mom's basement teaching him how to eat 😂
He talks to dam much . I dont need an analogy of potatoes. He's not all that on fine food reviews or lesser. Gezzzzz
UA should hit up some of the Spanish and Portuguese places in Newark. Awesome food.
Agreed! Particularly the numerous rodizios. Although not very highly rated on Yelp, my 2 favorites are Brasilia for rodizio and Seabra Marisqueria for Portuguese seafood.
@@th6252 I grew up near Newark. I left the East Coast in 89 but we used to hit up the Spanish Tavern and The Spain I think it was called. Also some Portuguese (not Brazilian) seafood place in Harrison. Many Brazilian and Colombian places in Elizabeth. Great variety. Seems like a lot more variety now though. I've lived all over the West coast and LA is as diverse but with different countries. More Mexican obviously. More Persian, Armenian, Georgian. LA has a huge Jewish population too. I've never been to Houston but I heard their diversity is amazing too.
@@meiguoren66I’m from Bergen County born and raised but lived and worked in Jersey City and Hoboken for over 10 years and worked in Union County for several years as well. Left the area around 2019 moving around a bit but I’m back in Bergen County. Used to go to Newark all the time for mostly rodizio. The most well known Spanish restaurant I’m aware of was/is Don Pepe’s. It was THE place for paella back in the day, but there are a few other places I prefer over it. Used to work with a ton of Portuguese and Brazilians when I worked in Union county and got addicted to pao de quejo and pasteis de nata.
@@th6252 I'm from Westfield. Miss the food a lot. I went to college in Boston and I dated a girl from Cartagena. She was really wealthy. Her family was let's just say involved in Colombian things in the 80s. At like 3 in the morning she'd say" let's go to New York and party." Sometimes we go to Miami sometimes we go to DC but we always end up in a South American restaurant bar club.Lots of fun.
@@th6252 My friends own Leo's in Hoboken. You know it?
lesson learned... don't buy sushi at a steak house
I live a few blocks away and this is our favorite steak house! We love the sushi rolls too!!!
COLD TATERS N STRING BEANS. OMG. Eat first and than review. Steak looked perfectly done and juicy. Price point was reasonable for a high quality steak house....
You have to check out RP Prime in either Mahwah or Fair Lawn. Excellent by all metrics.
I love the River Palm... Been there a ton of times, never had a bad meal.
Marbleization: mar·ble·iza·tion, mär-bə-lə-ˈzā-shən: the process of becoming or the condition of being veined or marked like marble. In the case our steak, it is intensely streaked with fatty veins that are the signatures of a great ribeye! Although misspelled on the menu, this is a real word used in the correct context to accurately describe the menu item. The use of the term "marbleization" was no mis-STEAK!
I love your reviews. If you haven’t tried Arthur’s Tavern in Morris Plains, NJ, they make the BEST Delmonico steaks
great idea, getting sushi at a steak restaurant. if that is otoro, i'm an austronaut.
I’d like to recommend the “McRib” when it comes back.
Can't wait Mcrib rocks
A steakhouse & sushi bar. Never heard of that combo.
I came back to watch you eat cold food 😂
They countered your usual nitpick of "it's not seasoned/salty enough" nicely. Even though you always have salt and pepper right next to you.
UA keep up the great work!! The steakhouse reviews are my favorite to watch while I eat lunch or dinner. I’m due for a good steak lol
Thank you! I love making the steak vids as well. I just need to space them out for health and budget reasons
@@uaeatstotally get that! Have you considered letting a subscriber eat with you one of these times, particular for those who live on the east coast? I think that’d be a cool idea. Also, I’m sure a lot of people here, including myself, would donate to a Patreon to help with the expense of the meals
UE love your videos and your persona , but don’t let your food get cold please ! 🙏🏻🩷
I drive by here almost every day for 20 years and have never been. The wait for the valet gives me anxiety. Lol. Maybe will get there this year.
Enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Hi UA. Nice job. The steak looks good, nice marks. Well cooked. The potatoes look a little dry and not as described. Beans r beans. Glad you enjoyed. Bread looks good also. Safe travels man. ✌🏽
It seems like the fried onions should have been a garnish for the green beans. That would make more sense 😅
Dude! This is my favorite restaurant in Jersey. Huge mistake not getting a sushi roll. It’s amazing!
Best porterhouse steak I've had was there .
We love the Hash brown potatoes - always get those to go with the steak.
I like to claim first to recommend River Palm Terrace.
& we genuinely appreciate your recommendation 👍 i heard Vega & Sagat were weekend regulars here.
@@ChamP10nk1ng Vega yes but Sagat; not his kind of place.
Actually, the presentation of the steak dinner would be very pleasing for most diners.
Great review. When cooking at home, the general advice now is to pre-season the steak and let it absorb the salt so it's uniform. I prefer to not do that and rather add some salt in the end like you're doing with the finishing salt here. The contrast with just the meat flavor with the spark of salt and the texture. This steak looks perfect - they care about what they're making.
That looked good. Weird combo though, more traditional steak options and sushi mixed in too that.
But if it's good, it's good.
Cold butter on warm bread is the best.
Nice hair cut! I love your channel!
Not sure if you’re up for chain steakhouses, but you should go try the outlaw ribeye at Longhorn. It’s a 20oz bone-in ribeye for $33, and comes with a side and salad. It’s one of the best steaks out there.
I don't go to a sushi restaurant to eat steak. Nor do I go to a steakhouse to eat sushi.
GOOD FOR YOU!👏
sometimes you gotta switch it up, keep them guessing your next move
the steaks look very good and value for money.. but yeah I do agree with the rest that sushi shouldn't be on the steakhouse menu as it's too costly. And not sure if it's just me, the otoro appearance looks a bit unusual
i think the server was asking you if this is the first time you had ever been to any restaurant because you were more interested in and went on about the butter? and not too curious at all about the home made focaccia bread?
Been there several times great food.
Fire!!! 😮
Find a good local diner. Reasonable prices, equal or better food.
Ketchup was for the potatoes ;) great video!
Try going for dinner and then have the pleasure of meeting Andy the head sushi chef who will come out and make the rounds. Such a character. Best steakhouse in Northern NJ imo.
That isn't a bad deal for a prime Ribeye in 2024...
7:15 , I am not really a big fan of bread. But that bread looks so Good I started Salivating!!!
whoever is talking with UA i think thats perfect im in CT but i will go there no doubt!
Hey UA you should do an episode ranking your top 10 steaks and 10 steakhouse experiences,
Glad you gave it a positive review. I was concerned that you would get whacked by that waiter if you didn’t.
You should checkout Gibson’s steakhouse in Chicago.
How do you see anything?
Try Char Kol in Freehold NJ. Best steakhouse I've tried in NJ
Hi UA, another great steakhouse in New Jersey is Rod's Steak house. Rod's is located in Morristown, NJ. Rod's has been in business for a long time, close to Drew University.
Deliciousness'? Don't you mean 'deliciousnessization?
Dip fish side first....never knew that. Thanks for that tip.
Reminds me of that Movie when the actor whispers, " They forgot to Cook it." Hahahahahahaha 😂!!!
If you'd like to do a burger review... go up the street a bit to Dino's Bar and Grill. They make a nicely charred and delicious bacon cheeseburger!
Steve's Sizzling Steaks !!!!
Used to go back in middle 80'S till late 90's .back then a filet was I think $15.95 . Ate at the bar as the additions were not added yet . Original place ... just to go back in time for one night!!! And then of course we hit the track for a hopefully trifecta win !!@:
Good video!
There’s a great steakhouse you should visit. I think it’s called Sizzlings. Or Sizzles. Or something like that. Top notch…classy…
You need to do a review of St. Elmo Steakhouse.
UA. You talk too freaking much you left the potatoes to when they were soggy and not too good. You should really try the food all of the food first the steak then the potatoes and the green beans. You can go back and do a voiceover.
Agreed. Don't let your food get cold.
UA Eats for the People...........we love you dude.......FACT!
Are you still in NJ up the hill you gotta go to Blackbird Pub the burger in Cliffside Park, NJ
I guess you can call it a Dive Bar but great food and burgers
The tuna looks abysmal, sorry but you got absolutely done there.
What isle are "edibile sponges" on at my supermarket?
Waiter was awesome. He knew his stuff while being extremely personable and humble.
The one in Fair Lawn is excellent too!
I believe their bread and butter is their bread and butter.
Please try the Capital Grill their lunch specials are as good if not better
Best steak house in jersey..
Waiter was on point 🍻
It's probably good that they put the onion strings on top of the steak because some of the grease strips on the steak and then you just shove the onion strings off to the side when ready to eat
Ribeye is my favorite cut, but bone in is the best!
Wow. This is part of my ol' skool stomping grounds. Yeah, this place remains PACKED with expensive vehicles.
There used to be a River Palm Terrace right outside of Fair Lawn on the highway. The steaks are fine but I preferred the lamb chops there
They had three locations. I guess Covid shut two down.
That O'toro looked like they cut it with a lawnmower what the hell.....Assumedly they do not have a 'legit' sushi chef because I cant imagine sending any fresh fish out the door that looks like that
You should check out Steve’s Sizzling Steaks in Carlstadt. They have a super loyal following and it can be a long wait. Just beware of maybe not getting their signature “Sizzling” style as the jus they put on can be overwhelmingly salty.
My name is UA and I love to eat !
Try Sammy's Old Cider Mill Mendham NJ
