Nestled in the heart of Montclair, New Jersey, Montclair House Grill is a delightful culinary destination that artfully blends American diner classics with the vibrant, fresh flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. This inviting restaurant offers an extensive menu, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, with dishes that satisfy a broad range of cravings while consistently impressing with quality and flavor.

Step inside, and you’ll immediately be greeted by a warm, relaxed atmosphere that feels both familiar and welcoming—a true neighborhood gem where friendly staff enhance the dining experience with genuine hospitality. Whether you're stopping by for a comforting morning cappuccino paired with their moist, decadently spiced carrot cake or indulging in heartier fare later in the day, Montclair House Grill manages to create moments that linger long after the last bite.

The menu is a vibrant tapestry of flavors and textures, showcasing signature dishes like the crispy mozzarella sticks served with rich marinara sauce, and the famous corned beef hash & eggs that promise a hearty start to your day. For those craving lighter and health-conscious options, the Avocado Quinoa Bowl and homemade hummus with pita bread stand out with their freshness and wholesome ingredients.

One of the highlights that keep patrons coming back is their Mediterranean Skillet and Gyro Wrap, where tender meats and robust seasonings come alive alongside fragrant herbs and sun-ripened vegetables. If you’re in the mood for something familiar with a twist, the grilled chicken sandwich and the New Orleans chicken are perfectly seasoned, juicy, and paired with well-crafted sides like golden fries or a crisp Caesar salad.

Montclair House Grill’s dedication to all-day dining shines with options like the Huevos Rancheros Skillet and the Chicken Penne Vodka—pasta steeped in a creamy, flavorful sauce that is deeply satisfying. Fans of sandwiches will appreciate the variety here, from the savory Buffalo Chicken Panini to the fresh Turkey BLT or the Turkey Burger Deluxe, each layered with thoughtful ingredients and prepared to perfection.

Customers frequently rave about the consistency and freshness of the ingredients. As Len Curry shared, the Greek salad "featured fresh ingredients and one of the best house dressings I’ve had in a long time," while the chili nachos impressed with their bold flavors and crisp texture. Nicole Gary highlighted the well-seasoned grilled chicken sandwich and fresh-squeezed orange juice, underscoring the thoughtful attention to detail in every order. Michael Fink lauded both the food quality and service, noting the unique combination of American and Greek specialties, a true testament to the seamless fusion Montclair House Grill achieves.

Beyond the menu, the convivial service truly rounds out the experience.

    Montclair House Grill was a pleasant surprise! We started with the onion rings, which hit the mark, but things turned around quickly. The Greek salad was outstanding, featuring fresh ingredients and one of the best house dressings I’ve had in a long time, truly memorable. The chili nachos were another highlight: packed with flavor and impressively crisp, even under generous toppings. Somehow, they managed to keep the chips from getting soggy, a rare feat! If you're in the Montclair area, it's definitely worth a visit.

    3rd Review Another awesome meal at Montclair House Grill ! I loved my cheeseburger and my friend enjoyed her Greek Turkey Burger !!! Chill atmosphere with tons of breakfast, lunch and dinner items on their menu served all day long. This is a Montclair staple due to their delicious, reasonably priced food and friendly staff. 2nd Review Delicious regular hamburger at Montclair House Grill !!! Love this place, their staff & their menu !!! 1st Review It would not be a trip home without a meal at The Montclair House Grill. They have a plethora of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Wraps, salads, burgers, sandwiches, eggs - you name it, they cook it. The friend I went here with is a vegetarian. She loves their goat cheese salad. We split the hummus as an appetizer ans it was great! I loved my grilled salmon sandwich entree. Very tasty. We finished up with the carrot cake which was amazing. The venue was fairly quiet on Sunday evening. They are usually packed because they consistently deliver excellent food at reasonable prices. Highly recommend The Montclair House Grill!!!

    I want to start by saying thank you to the young lady cashier. She was so nice and even unexpectedly extended herself by writing me a little note about all the vegan soup days. Thank you! My sandwich was really good. The fries were perfect. I defly recommend and will be going back.

    Great gluten-free options! They truly have it all — from pancakes and French toast to waffles. Everything we tried, especially the pancakes and French toast, was absolutely delicious. The cherry on top is their pet-friendly outdoor seating, which made the experience even better
