Looking for the best Long Valley NJ restaurants? You are in the right place. Long Valley is the village at the center of Washington Township, and its food scene is small, friendly and surprisingly varied. Within a few minutes of the Mill Road intersection you can find a brewpub in a historic barn, award winning seafood, real Texas barbecue, Turkish grill plates and a craft taproom. Here is where we like to eat.
We update this guide regularly to make sure it reflects the latest openings, closures, and standout dining experiences. For more restaurant guides across the county, check out our picks for the best restaurants in Chester, Randolph, Morristown, and Denville.
Long Valley is a destination for people who love the outdoors. The Columbia Trail runs right through town, Schooleys Mountain rises just outside the village, and the farms along the back roads keep the area busy on weekends. Our Long Valley local guide covers the parks, shops and seasonal events that bring people here, including the Centenary Mane Event at the Centenary University equestrian center.
Many of the restaurants below sit within walking distance of one another, which makes it easy to combine dinner with a stop at the taproom. If you are planning a full day in western Morris County, pair this list with our Chester local guide, just a short drive east, and our roundup of the best breweries in Morris County.
