THE GUIDE: RESTAURANTS IN CHATHAM BOROUGH, CHATHAM TOWNSHIP, MADISON, FLORHAM PARK, HARDING TOWNSHIP AND LONG HILL TOWNSHIP (STIRLING, MILLINGTON, GILLETTE), NJ
How We Selected These Restaurants
This guide covers restaurants in Chatham Borough, Chatham Township, Madison, Florham Park, Harding Township and Long Hill Township (Stirling, Millington, Gillette), New Jersey — the restaurants whose street address is in these towns, as of this reading. Restaurants whose brand franchises, or has locations in more than one state, are not listed.
A restaurant is listed here if it offers table service, evidenced on its own website or, where it has no website, on its own Facebook page or Google Business Profile – a dine-in menu, reservations, or stated hours for dining in. This excludes counter-service restaurants, takeout-only kitchens and slice shops.
Listed by cuisine, alphabetically, then alphabetically by restaurant within each cuisine. This is not a ranking.
About This Guide
This guide is produced by Garden State Circle. Restaurants appear here because they meet the criterion described above — table service in Chatham Borough, Chatham Township, Madison, Florham Park, Harding Township and Long Hill Township (Stirling, Millington, Gillette), evidenced on the business’s own website or, where it has none, its own Facebook page or Google Business Profile. That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page. No restaurant can pay to be included in this guide, to be listed higher, or to change what the comparison table says about it. Every detail in the table below was verified in September 2026 against each restaurant’s own website or, where it has none, its own Facebook page or Google Business Profile.
Garden State Circle is supported by the businesses that participate in it. Participation pays for our ongoing work: keeping a business’s entry accurate, re-checking its record, and publishing a page of its own details that the business maintains. There is no paid placement in this guide. Participation does not buy a place here, a position here, or anything the comparison table says.
Ingredients, preparation and allergen handling change, and we record what each business publishes rather than inspecting kitchens. If you have a food allergy, confirm directly with the business before you order.
Hours, menus and alcohol policy change often. Every detail here was verified on the date shown above.
Garden State Circle is published locally in New Jersey. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com.

Common Questions
How many restaurants are in this guide?
88 restaurants in Chatham Borough, Chatham Township, Madison, Florham Park, Harding Township and Long Hill Township (Stirling, Millington, Gillette), grouped by cuisine. Restaurants whose brand franchises, or has locations in more than one state, are not listed.
Is this a ranking?
No. Restaurants are grouped by cuisine, alphabetically, then alphabetically within each cuisine. This is not a ranking, and no restaurant can pay to be listed higher or to change what this table says about it.
How were “Bar/BYOB,” “Outdoor seating” and “Reservations” determined?
From each restaurant’s own website, or, where its own domain could not be reached, its own operator page on a reservation or ordering platform — never a customer review, and never a directory’s characterization. Where a restaurant’s own site does not say, the table reads “Not published” or “Not stated” rather than guessing.
Something Out of Date?
This guide is maintained. If anything here is wrong or has changed — an address, a BYOB policy, whether a restaurant has closed — tell us and we will check it. Businesses listed here are welcome to write in directly.
