Combining exceptional food, drinks and service with a refined, casual setting, Witherspoon Grill is one of New Jersey’s premier steakhouse destinations. Located in the heart of downtown Princeton, Witherspoon Grill is the perfect place to meet for an extraordinary dining experience.
Featuring all-natural Prime Angus Beef, local-sourced poultry and fresh fish and seafood from Nassau Street Seafood Company, we personally source only the best of the best. Our steaks are hand-selected and custom cut and include dry-aged Prime Ribeyes, Filet Mignon, wet and dry-aged Strip Steaks and our 48 oz Porterhouse for two.
Witherspoon Grill also offers classic American fare such as braised short ribs, raw bar favorites and the best burger in Princeton. Boasting a sophisticated, vibrant bar scene with a Wine Spectator award-winning wine list and inventive craft beer selection, and live jazz on Tuesday evenings, Witherspoon Grill is a favorite of locals and visitors alike.
Private Dining
Looking for the perfect place to book your next private event in the heart of Princeton? Witherspoon Grill has a private dining room with a view of the square, complete with a projector and screen. Seating 20, this space is great for social events, birthday parties, and corporate meetings.
