An American Steakhouse — Est. 1743

The Clinton House

Two-hundred-eighty years on Main Street. Hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, and a Wine Spectator-recognized cellar — in the heart of Hunterdon County.

Since 1743

Two-and-a-half centuries of hospitality on Main Street.

Long before there was a Clinton, New Jersey, there was The Clinton House. We’ve been pouring drinks, serving steaks, and welcoming travelers through the same front door since 1743 — through colonies, canal traffic, the railroad era, and now a fourth century in business.

The building has changed less than you might think. The room you sit in tonight is much the same one a stagecoach passenger sat in two hundred years ago. The menu, of course, is a little better.
