One food guide, two municipalities. Main Street and the train-station area are primarily Chatham Borough. Hickory Square, Chatham Mall and most Shunpike Road dining are in Chatham Township. Each restaurant card identifies the municipality.

Two Dining Districts

Chatham Borough

Downtown Chatham has the larger restaurant concentration, with breakfast cafés, bagels, French pastry, delis, Indian, Pakistani-inspired hot chicken, sushi, Thai, pizza, Italian, steakhouse dining, fine dining and a neighborhood bar-and-grill.

The compact Main Street layout makes it easy to combine a meal with shopping, the library, the farmers' market or NJ TRANSIT.

Chatham Township

Township dining is more automobile-oriented and clusters around Hickory Square and 650 Shunpike Road, with Asian food, Mexican, pizza, delis, bagels, sandwiches, coffee and fast-casual choices.

These shopping-center locations provide substantial on-site parking and serve residents across both Chathams.

Food-allergy & dietary caution: GF and DF/Vegan badges mean current menu or business information supports at least one corresponding option. They do not mean the entire kitchen is gluten-free, dairy-free or allergen-free. Shared fryers, ovens, utensils, work surfaces and ingredients can create cross-contact. Anyone with celiac disease or a food allergy should confirm ingredients and preparation practices directly with the restaurant before ordering.

What's New on Main Street

Chatham Borough's dining mix has changed substantially. The downtown now supports more morning and lunch options alongside long-established dinner restaurants.

Breakfast & CoffeeIndependent cafés, bagels, French pastry, specialty coffee and health-forward breakfast concepts make downtown active earlier in the day.
More International VarietyIndian, South Asian-inspired hot chicken, Japanese and Thai restaurants add significantly more variety than the traditional Italian-heavy mix.
Pizza RevivalNewer pizza concepts sit alongside established Italian restaurants, creating choices from Detroit-style and wood-fired pies to Mediterranean-influenced dinners.
Special-Occasion DiningChatham continues to support several destination restaurants for steak, contemporary American and Italian-French fine dining.

Hickory Square & Shunpike Road

Chatham Township's current food landscape is concentrated around the Shunpike Road shopping centers. The 2026 Hickory Square tenant roster confirms a strong mix of Asian food, coffee, sandwiches, tacos, pizza and chicken alongside everyday shopping.

Hickory SquareCurrent food tenants include Asian dining, coffee, subs, artisanal Mexican, pizza and fast-casual chicken.
650 Shunpike RoadThe adjacent Chatham Mall area adds a longtime deli, bagels, Chinese and Italian/pizza choices.
Easy ParkingThe Township's shopping-center dining is generally easier for quick pickup, family meals and multi-stop errands by car.
Catering OptionsBagels, delis, subs, pizza, Mexican and Asian restaurants provide numerous office, school and family-event catering options.

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free / Vegan Options

NJTGO applies dietary badges only when current information supports them. Examples in the current Chatham directory include dedicated gluten-free prepared-food offerings at Pascarella Bros., gluten-free menu choices at Hickory Tree Deli, Hickory Tree Pizza, Gregorio's and Gabe's Bagels, plus vegan or non-dairy choices at several cafés and Asian/Indian restaurants.

GF — Gluten-Free OptionsThe green badge indicates at least one currently documented gluten-free offering or menu program.
DF / VeganThe blue badge indicates a currently documented dairy-free, plant-based or vegan option.
Cross-Contact Still MattersA gluten-free pizza crust, vegan entrée or non-dairy milk does not establish an allergen-free preparation area.

Chatham Borough Outdoor Dining

Chatham Borough permits—and specifically encourages—sidewalk dining in its commercial districts. Restaurants using public sidewalk space must obtain the applicable Borough sidewalk-dining permit and meet current municipal requirements.

Downtown advantage: Sidewalk dining helps connect restaurants with Main Street's walkable shopping district, train station, community events and seasonal activity.

Farmers' Market & Local Food

The Chatham Borough Farmers' Market operates at Railroad Plaza South on Saturdays during its annual spring-to-fall season. The 2026 market runs from May 16 through November 14, 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m., with no market on July 4.

More than restaurant dining: The market adds produce, baked goods and specialty-food vendors to the shared Chatham food scene and creates a natural Saturday connection between the train-station area, Main Street businesses and local dining.
