The Saddle River Inn has been named one of OpenTable’s Top 100 Restaurants in America for 2026 (View Full List), earning the distinction of being the only restaurant in New Jersey to make this year’s list.

Located in Saddle River in Bergen County, the restaurant was recognized alongside dining destinations from across 21 states and Washington, D.C.

Released on November 4, the annual list was compiled using more than 11 million reviews from verified OpenTable diners, along with reservation and dining activity recorded between September 2025 and August 2026.

Restaurants were evaluated using factors including diner ratings, five-star reviews, advance reservations, customer interest and online searches.

California led the country with 19 restaurants on the list, while New York City accounted for 14 and Chicago had 12.

The Saddle River Inn was New Jersey’s sole representative, with OpenTable specifically highlighting Saddle River among the smaller communities represented in this year’s selections.

The complete list is presented alphabetically by state and restaurant rather than in ranked order.
