“The place is awesome! My first time here. The experience of the colors, music, people and the atmosphere is everything a person can ask for IN ADDITION to the amazing flavors of the food.My waiter was Daniel, who I believe is also one of the bartenders. Super nice guy, friendly and very attentive.I’ll be back again and again and again!”

“I love Shannon Rose .. I’ve been coming here for many years .. The Easter Buffet was amazing this year.. also Ashley the bartender is always so friendly and does a great job !!! I will be back”

“In town for a Driscoll Food Show. As restaurant owners ourselves we take notice of so many attributes. The ambiance, attention to detail, service and especially the food. Our meals were absolutely delicious. I had the Butternut Squash Soup and King Salmon with Beurre Blanc with Sundried Tomatoes and my husband had the Scallops with Angel Hair. Nice experience and highly recommend!”

“A hidden gem and must visit for any local or passerby. Come for the food and stay for the vibes. We had lunch and returned for dinner and the powerful margaritas. My fiancée sang an E6 at karaoke...”

“We unfortunately had to go up north for a viewing of a friends family member but stumbled across this gem. Food was excellent , staff extremely friendly and now have a spot to go when in the area. We had the Cali flower goat cheese app which we couldn’t get enough of , for dinner my wife got the skirt steak which was cooked to perfection and such good flavor. I went with the oxtail risotto which was fantastic , the flavor was amazing. The live music was a nice touch and it turned out to be a perfect dinner night. We will be recommending !”

“Never thought that there is a cool barn in town. My 1st impression was the woodenly rustic environment and decorations bringing the cozy vibe. Food and drinks were perfectly tasty. Our waiter that night was helpful and informative. This spot is voted for one of the most beautiful ones during the Christmas season. Can't wait to come back.”

“Had a guys night out with 10 friends, the staff was amazing, top notch service. I believe her name was Gina. Made great drinks and great sense of humor. Food was delicious, had the pork chop with pineapple plus some other toppings which now ranks top 2 on my list. Thank you for hosting us. Will be back again very soon.”

“Never had anything less than a delicious experience. The bagels are always fresh, the filings are perfect - white fish, pork roll egg and cheese, chicken salad… really the best bagel joint in the area. Quick, efficient service in a classic storied bagel house. Simply the best.”

“I had the opportunity to try Bosnian food or in other words balkan food. Let me tell the food was freaking amazing!!! The owner was so nice and absolutely awesome to talk to. The vibe you get from him is like we are family. First, food choice to come out was the most fluffy burek slices ranging from cheese, spinach and even meat version. I truly enjoyed the meat slice so much I even licked my fingers clean. Second food selection that came out was the chevapi and man when I saw the meat was so juicy and tender it literally brings a smile to my face while making my mouth water. Make sure to rip a piece of the bread grab a piece of the meat and grab some onions you’ll thank me later. The chevapi is so flavorful that will drive your taste paletes into overtime!!! Third food selection the owner personally recommended to us was the two month old veal slow cooked to perfection. Literally you pierce your fork into it the meat just falls apart. First bite the flavor of the veal will take you to nirvana. Try this if you try the veal, take a piece of the bread from the chevapi and dip it into the bone marrow. That delicious flavor from slow cooking is going to kick you senses into overtime! Will I recommend someone to come try this restaurant? Absolutely!!! I cannot wait to go back and try this.”

“Exceptional service from Bernard, very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable with great customer service, making our dining experience truly special. Highly recommend!! ????”

“This place is amazing! Such fresh food and amazing service! I regularly get the chicken schnitzel platter (make sure to get the white sauce, it is incredible) and I also love their falafel pita sandwich - they have an incredible salad bar with all types of toppings - once you’ve gone here, you won’t be able to go anywhere else - real talk”

“Both the food and the service were top notch. The staff is very friendly and they greet you in a very welcoming and accommodating fashion. Kabobs are one of the tastiest I had in the US.”

“Nice vibes on a Friday night, when I went there were live vinyl DJs. The sound quality for the music could be better but it’s just the way the building is designed. The beer is awesome. Would love to go back”

“The taste profile is spot on. One of the better Italian Deli in the vicinity. High food quality. The place is clean and the staff and owner are very down to earth and humble.”

“V. Good! Fish tacos out of this world. Churros with a delicious cream center and three dipping sauces, the best of which IMO is a semisweet chocolate. But they don’t even need the sauces. Fantastic cocktails.”

“Although I experienced a wait of about 40 minutes on a bustling Saturday, the exceptional dining experience that followed made it well worth the delay. From the moment I stepped inside only experienced good things.Our server Leo was knowledgeable, attentive and made great recommendations. The appetizer was amazing, can’t remember the name but will attach a photo. The entries were cooked to perfection I ordered Ensalada de la casa con churrascoFilete de pescado con cangrejo y vegetales.The flavor were bold and authentic, and the portions were generous. I found the price very decent. Top-notch service, exceptional cuisine, and cleanliness - Rumba Cubana truly deserves a 5-star rating. Can't wait to come back!"”

“Happy Vegans Qofte in Clifton, NJ, offers delicious vegan options with a cozy atmosphere. I tried their Happy Vegan Burger and Babaganoush, both bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly, adding to the welcoming vibe. Overall, a great spot for tasty vegan eats in a relaxed setting!”

“Had a few reservations coming here on some mixed reviews but the food did not disappoint! I can’t speak for all dishes but the Panang curry was absolutely DELICIOUS! Just moved here from Seattle where all we ate was Thai and this was some of the best damn Panang curry I’ve ever had. I will be running back for that dish. Absolutely worth a visit”

“We enjoyed dining in this beautiful restaurant, and the whole experience was complete. We had a great dining experience with the seating service, especially when I had the Kufta Kebab. Each bite felt like it was unleashing a perfectly balanced juicy succulence of the flavors, brought irresistibly forward by the mastery of spice handling from the hands of the chef. But really and honestly, the service did do a great deed toward our lifted evening. Our waitress indeed topped the experience, literally and metaphorically. Each of us was more than comfortable and happy. It truly made a great evening. But the true ambiance setters were the live musical performers. This delightful background and the cozy yet stylish restaurant decoration set an inspiring mood. I highly recommend this gem for its excellent culinary service, vibrant vibes, and immaculate service. Such a place is recommendable to all those who would like to treat themselves to dining out.”

“Great place for a quick and delicious lunch. It's pretty much fast casual, but the taste and quality is that of a home cooked meal. All whole ingredients, cooked from scratch and fresh. Highly recommend.”

Their food is priced reasonably. BYOB is allowed. At times it could get hard to find a parking spot. Must visit place.”

“Food was good, and they made accommodations for substitutions on adding more vegetables to my vegetarian salad. The fajitas were solid. It's not really Mexican food, but the food was delicious, well presented, and served quickly when the place was packed.”

“Stopped in for a quick lunch today sat at the bar. The bar tender was super friendly and quick with her service. Food was fantastic and filling. Would 100% go back again.”

“These 5 Stars are warranted by the behavior and actions of Amy. A lot of businesses and their employees need to follow how she does business.

I buy it all the time since many years and staff is very friendly and accommodatingDietary restrictions: I get bagels that are without onions and garlic and they always clean surface and take clean their knives or take new one if I have toasted bagels with cream cheese.Kid-friendliness: They have small portions bagels if you want as well.”

“The food is very good, hot and the service is perfect, but the fritters come out with holes, it seems like a lot of heat and they don't manage to fluff up internally.”

“Very good location and very friendly staff. Would recommend this location. One thing to note is that the lines tend to be super long and chaotic between 2pm-3pm on school days, because of high school students and what not, so I’d maybe avoid going there during those times, unless you don’t mind filtering through a crowd.Otherwise would highly recommend this location”

“Rutt's Hut is one of the few surviving roadside stands true to form not much has changed the rippers are still number one ? give it a try if you've never been a true experience!”

“What can I say. So good. Service / atmosphere /food. We ordered the Chef’s Roll, Salmon Skin, the Caterpillar and Pink Lady. They were all good but my favorite was the Chef’s Roll.The only critic I can add is that seating could be more comfortable. But otherwise just great food.”

“I thought it was excellent authentic Thai food with good portion sizes. The ton yum soup was great and apparently they make the flat noodles for the drunken noodle in house.”

“A Dominican pizza restaurant that shows Formula 1 races?! A dream come true! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Amazing service and even better food! We had the chimi pizza and breakfast pizza. They were phenomenal! We are definitely going to make this our spot to watch Formula 1 races and have yummy food with friends. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Everything was great at The Hot Grill. Burgers all the way is Chill, Cheese, diced onions, and mustard. The fries with gravy and cheese are similar to a Canadian Poutine. They also call it Disco Fries. Counter service and you take it to your own table. No wait staff. Convenient location. Fast paced. I hope to return back if we're in that area again on travel.”

“I had been craving garlic knots for so long and I finally said ok let my try this place. AMAZING! when I tell you I could not stop eating these garlic knots !!!!!! The seasoning and heavy amounts of oil for redipping - I can bathe in it the rigatoni bolognese comes with the option of adding a burrata ball and I said no, not for $9 well to my surprise, it Came with one! I'm not sure if it was by mistake or what but it was so creamy and sinful!! This came with an order of chicken soup. Everything was packed tight because not a drop spilled and it arrived piping hot. This is my first time trying it but now I want to visit in person and see what the dine in experience is.”

“Had a Margherita ( pizza is 20.00) slice: super thin crust, good pomodoro plum sauce n mozzarella. Very large( see photo) delicious slice $4.71. Other pies looked enticing in case to try. Place has extensive menu and was getting crowded at 5. Lots of men behind the counter ready to serve. Ask for a receipt, they are so busy they forget. Will try their dinners n update review after.”

“This place has some of the best chaufa in the area and other menu items are equally as good. Its a small restaurant so if you are a larger group it would probably be best to get takeout (we always do). If you're looking for peruvian-chinese fusion you will NOT be disappointed.”

Our waiter was also very polite and helpful with some of the plates on the menu. I will definitely recommend it.”

“it was my first time at Red Robin. I got an Oreo milkshake and a crispy chicken sandwich. My Oreo milkshake didn’t taste like Oreos but it wasn’t bad. The vanilla milkshake was the best. My chicken sandwich was a bit greasy and the pickles had a weird taste to it. The fries didn’t have much salt either. Shout out to our server Carlos, nice kid. Overall It wasn’t terrible.”

“Absolutely recommend Mighty Quinn's! We had them cater our son's graduation party for over 30 people two days ago and it was an absolute hit! Food was amazing...everyone was raving about how good everything was! And Vinnie, the manager, went above and beyond...from delivery to set up...to removal of all boxes. Above five stars!!”

“The time to go, very good because there are fewer people. Good food. Good service from the waitress. But, the fact that there is minimal clientele, the waiters get lost in conversations, sitting and lost in their cell phones... They must maintain a professional posture even if they are young and there is no clientele.Kid-friendliness: Very good.”

“My Dad was originally from that area and was going there since it opened. He started taking us as a family and we lost him in 1989 at the age of 49. Mario’s is like hollowed ground for us and is the place we drive almost 4 hours to come to to be together as a family twice a year ❤️”

“Best margaritas hands down! Food was above par. Quite impressive. Fun atmosphere for all ages. The staff went above and beyond. Super friendly. New favorite go-to spot!”
