It’s Impossible Not To Love This New Jersey Restaurant Right On The River

When it comes to waterfront dining, New Jersey has got you covered. We’ve got gorgeous restaurants on lakes, rivers, and even the ocean. The views can’t be beat and the food is just as fantastic. With so many amazing options, choosing where to start can be difficult. A local favorite, Robin’s Nest makes for an amazing choice.

Robin's Nest is a historic restaurant located on the North Branch of the Rancocas Creek.

Located in the most beautiful building, the interior is welcoming and eclectic.

They serve up spectacular French American cuisine, and also offer a full bar and bakery.

Offering brunch, lunch, and dinner, popular menu items include the Mount Holly Melt, Maple Cajun Salmon, Pumpkin Ravioli, and NJ Cranberry Pork Loin.

The brunch menu is ever changing and includes creative specials like breakfast nachos (house made tater tot balls, marinated filet, scrambled eggs, salsa and beer cheese). Vegan options are available and there is also a special Lent menu.

Also a full service bakery, the desserts are to dine for. Enjoy tarts, tortes, cheesecakes, cupcakes, and cake cakes!

You'll also find a sizable list of cookies that varies by season to ensure the freshest ingredients. Cherry White Chocolate is heavenly! To top it all off, they make custom wedding cakes.

There are several indoor dining areas available all year, but you'll want to head outdoors in warmer months.

The breeze feels fantastic and you'll enjoy lush greenery and wonderful waterfront views.

Though not the mightiest of rivers, this creek is scenic and serene - it certainly enhances your dining experience.

If you're looking for a great deal, visit for dinner on Tuesday-Thursday (before 7 p.m.) - you'll get soup, salad and a main course for $16.95. You may also enjoy visiting on Saturday evenings for live music.

Adding to the fun, this spot is said to be haunted. The apparitions of a friendly man and little girl have both been spotted here.

In business for over 25 years, you can find this community staple at 2 Washington Street in Mount Holly. Open Tuesday-Saturday for lunch and dinner, lunch is served on Mondays from 11-2:30 and brunch is served on Sundays from 10-3. If you don’t live nearby, consider taking a day trip to the area.
