“Why travel out to go and eat else where and spend more money on gas. Save the gas and travel time and eat here. Great for hopatcong and other residents. food is great. prices are good. Close by my house. There should be more people going here food is “
“Surprisingly good Irish food. We stopped in on a random Wednesday night while staying in the area. There was some bingo going on and it was not very crowded. I always feel the need to try corned beef or a Reuben any time I visit any Irish eatery. I asked the server how the Reuben egg rolls (yes Reuben egg rolls!) were and she said they are a big hit. So I got those as an appetizer and they were very good and something very unique. I also had the burger with corned beef on it and it was cooked perfect and the corned beef had just the right amount of tang to it. My daughter loved her fries and mozzarella sticks and filled up on those before she even got to try her Mac and cheese. Overall the food was delicious, the server was incredibly friendly and helpful and was extremely patient with a 4 year old that was a bit fussy from traveling all day. I'll certainly return the next time I'm in the area.“
“We held my sister’s bridal shower here & we are all blown away at how great a experience we had. From start to finish Tracey & Liz assisted us with all the planning, & were super responsive to my emails. The day of, Tracey & our servers were so kind & helpful with everything. Everyone loved the food & the cake was delicious too! Thank you so much for making my sister feel special on her special day! Will hopefully come in the future for a regular dinner or lunch just to have Chef Andre’s food again!“
“On our first time here we chose the Chefs tasting menu, and it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious, the service was very good, and in beautiful historic old home. Definitely recommend for everyone to try out this much needed gem here in the county!“
“Long time Andy’s customer and I’ve since moved out of the area but when I come through North Jersey I never skip an opportunity to have the best and most creative and delicious hotdogs. Andy‘s is constantly giving back to the community and partnering with the local school system for fundraisers. It’s a true example of a local community restaurant. Don’t get a Boring Dog. Try something unique“
“Food is amazing and very creative. Have had breakfast lunch and dinner. The only challenge is to decide what to order. Kudos to this talented chef and her son in their kitchen. This is a gastronomic treat from an entire team that does not present any versions of the obligatory standards found on most other menus. The wait staff has a great energy, which adds to the whole dining experience. I travel from PA to experience the food and if it were closer it would certainly be a go-to for me. The attached farm market with its delightful cheeses and treats, as well as unique and wonderfully fun culinary items-and even clothing-make the entire experience a heart-warming and fulfilling journey.“
“I cannot say more about how happy and easy going the atmosphere and service of this place is. Each time we dine in, it’s like walking into our home with the family. The food is great, always conversations happening and friendly staff, no matter how early or late in the afternoon you go.Parking: Parking is available on street or back of place.Kid-friendliness: Area is small but able for kids to watch the tv or sit comfortably.“
“I go once in a while they have a lot of regulars. It's a nice chill spot to have a few drinks and relax. Staff is great! I've never had a problem. Nice vibe even when I'm not drinking (I'm pregnant and still go with my bf so he can relax) but over all definitely recommend you check it “
“Chicken Murphy whaaaaattttt? Phenomenal!!! Great food, great service and the owner greeted us when we walked in. I promise you won't be disappointed!!! I am bummed I was so excited when my murphy was put in front of me I forgot to take a picture.“
“While being in the area, decided to stop there for lunch. Local food was good, they had a very decent beer. The view on the lake was extraordinary and in some sense, quite soothing. Prices were decent and service up to par. I'll make sure to stop there if I am ever in the area again.“
“One of the healthiest places to eat the Fitness grill is by far also the flavor full variety including tex mex salad and cob salad the wraps are second to none in taste I would highly recommend fitness grill along with the hospitality offered by the owner, she is the “
“Hands down best omelettes in Sussex County. I'm a picky breakfast gal so for breakfast I almost exclusively have western omelettes and as such consider myself an expert - so go there and get one, you won't regret it. Their homefries are yummy too! I've heard great things about the pancakes and French toast so I'll definitely have to give that a try soon!“
“We are new to the area, so we stopped in for a quick bite and drink.Its a nice sized place, well spaced out so you dont feel like you are on top of the next table.The staff was quick, attentive and professional.The food- AMAZING. I ordered the grilled octupus and want to come once a week to just get that. My girlfriend ordered the corned beef spring rolls and they hit the spot as well.We will def be back to explore more of the menu, as those 2 items alone have us wanting more.Parking: Is a lot of traffic but people come out and you park easyKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“The tables and floor were clean. They need to do a better job at keeping the condiment containers filled. My son enjoyed his burger and fries. The fish sandwich I got was excessively piled with coleslaw, and there was more bread to it than anything else.“
“First visit to Alice’s. We will return. Fun bar downstairs with outside heated seating looking over the lake. The food was ok. Steak was ordered rare and that came out perfect. The Salmon though was over cooked. Sides were fine though the vegetables were a mix of warm and cold. Service was great. Nice people.“
“Today was the first time we ate out on a Holiday. Having Easter dinner @ Portofino's was the BEST!! We enjoyed a delicious meal, wonderful service and atmosphere without any 'clean up'. The food was served hot and appetizing. It couldn't get better. The entire staff was pleasant, accomodating and attentive.“
“First time coming here for dinner with the family to celebrate my birthday on St. Patrick’s day! Food was excellent. My fiancé is born and raised British and she absolutely loved the bangers and mash! The chicken schnitzel was delicious! Atmosphere inside was fun and relaxing. Bag pipe player walking around. Manager came over twice and checked on us! Thank you for a great meal!“
“The food is great tastes amazing! I'm truly amazed at how catering and caring the owner and staff are. I love this place and come here all the time for good burger fries hotdogs and and chicken tenders and of course the Dover Dairy maid is right never door the ice cream is fantastic the service is great. The ambiance is definitely good old fashioned American food is family friendly you can eat out side they just opened today for the start of the season. So excited to go back again.“
“Love Pop’s. Food is so good. Reasonably priced. Love that they are involved with the community. It’s really nice to see all the fun events they host!!Parking: Easy in and easy out.Kid-friendliness: Lots of fun events scheduled from time to time.“
“It was a Thursday evening and we sat in the bar. We ordered off of the Chefs Tasting menu. We both ordered a salad and had the salmon entree which was deliciously perfect. Then we got to order a dessert because all the were included in the 29.99 price! It was excellent. We also had wine with our dinner.“
“Stopped here after church and was pleasantly surprised. The owner greeted us and sat us immediately. You can genuinely see his care and pride in the restaurant. The service was outstanding. Our daughter was the only child there but they all fussed over her. We really appreciated that. They also made menu modifications for her with no issues. We all loved our food. Portions were plenty and we all brought home some leftovers. Oh and get the beets if you are a beet person. They were fantastic!“
“First time here in the Newton Friendly’s and last time I was in any Friendlys was over 20 years ago. I am now a senior, so I ordered lunch off of the senior menu and received a free Sunday. Enjoyed my experience so much I will be back. Thank you Friendly’s.“
“I was so impressed by the professional, prompt service we received at lunch on a Friday. Our server was upbeat, and he offered us coffee refills shortly before we ran out at least four times! The omelette was good, but the home fries were a little dry - if you like ketchup, you probably wouldn’t have noticed. Every meal I’ve had here was solid, however!“
“If you are in the area, this place should be on your list. It's tucked away in a corner, but parking is easy, and you should make a reservation if you're planning to visit on a Friday or Saturday.The food is made to order and delicious. Plan to spend a while and have one of the delicious drinks from the cocktail menu.Vegetarian options: You can make requests since everything is made to order.Parking: Parking directly in front of the restaurantWheelchair accessibility: Located on the 1st floor“
“I highly recommend Longhorn Steakhouse in ITC Crossing. We went there for lunch on Valentine's day. The restaurant is well run, all the staff is very nice and treated us well, the portions are ample and the food is very good.I had a NY strip and it came medium as I ordered it. The steak was properly seasoned with salt and pepper. I had a rather large baked potato with the steakMy wife had a burger and a salad which she said was also very good and was more than she could eat. The salad came home with us.Both meals came out at the same time and both were hot. Our server was Harley. She stopped by frequently to see if we needed anything and that the food met our expectations. It was not super busy and she took time to chat with us which was nice.We went because the manager, Laurel Hill, very graciously, took time to put together a very nice gift basket as a door prize, for the Mount Olive Jr. AF ROTC’s bingo night and we like to support businesses that support organizations that do good in our community.This Longhorn Steakhouse is much better than other Longhorn Steakhouses we tried, which were mediocre. I assume that that is because it is managed well and the staff cares. Dining here was a very good experience. We will be regulars in the future.“
“We had the pleasure of throwing my daughter's baby shower at Stone Water on St. Patrick's Day. From beginning to end, it was a complete success. Karissa worked tirelessly with me to ensure that the entire planning process was seamless and that our event would be perfect! Perfect is an understatement!!! The event exceeded all of our expectations - the room was beautiful, the staff was incredible to work with and the food was out of this world! Family and friends are still raving about the event and of course, my daughter was equally floored. We will definitely be returning for future events and truly cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Karissa and all of the staff at Stone Water!“
“The perfect place for a larger family outing. Celebrated a birthday with a dozen plus people including a handful of kids. Spacious interior (outside too in warmer weather). We were seated appropriately in the back room with a great view of the lake and away from adults only by the fireplace. Kids were free to be kids without disturbing others. Without exception, food and drinks were delicious and our waiter was great. With Horse Shoe Lake Park right down the road, it allowed us all to burn off some of the calories.“
“Absolutely by FAR the best place in northern NJ. We have bought many cakes from here from over the years and have also been extremely happy. They are all delicious. The pastries are very good and the macarons are something they are quite known for. The building is hidden and not much to look at in Andover but it is definitely worth it!“
“We have been coming to the Windlass for years so when our son requested that it be the venue for the rehearsal dinner for his recent wedding, we were happy to comply. It did not disappoint! Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. We were excited to show our out of state guests how beautiful NJ really is. Thank you to Donna and everyone involved.“
“This diner eclipses all others in NJ. Peter does a fantastic job in serving the customers and pays attention to details. Only one thing needs changing to get the coveted 5 star rating; Please procure a higher quality bacon. The sausages and the rest were superb!“
“Last year: Good food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Great find!A year later, I was in the area and went back. It was once again really good.If you are looking for a comfortable atmosphere and food that is straightforward, hearty and good, then I highly recomend Charlotte's Web.“
“Welcoming staff and the owner is always hands on.Cozy atmosphere with a bar. Food comes out hot. Live music on Fridays. We have been several times and Im hoping they address my one peeve. Though I appreciate cleanliness, the smell of whatever product they are using is so strong it lingers the entire meal. Go to a product not so toxic and scented so we can enjoy the food w/o the oder.“
“Krave did such an amazing job with our wedding! Kate is absolutely phenomenal and every time we met with her I felt so confident that everything would be taken care of perfectly, and on the day of everything ran so smoothly. They do weddings at the Conservatory frequently and they know the ins and outs of how to make a wedding go well. The food was delicious. We chose family style and our guests seemed to enjoy that a lot. The food during cocktail hour was plentiful and amazing. They do a great job serving food that is both delicious and interesting. I would definitely choose Krave again and I highly recommend them!“
“I've heard the term "out of body experience" before but could never truly say I've had one until I sank my teeth into a cheboygah (cheese burger for the layman's) at Village Saloon. Paired with fresh cut fries (fresh cuts for the hip) this cheboygah will change everything you ever thought was possible in culinary art. Their chilli is a meaty dense dark texture that warms the coldest souls from the darkest corners of the earth. My wife ventured into the land of poultry there by ordering a fried chicken special. All she lent me was half a wing in fear that she would run out of chicken too fast. Our server, I never got her name as she was also bartending / changing the lives of men and women who were experiencing the saloon, was nothing short of a messenger of God. Bringing food and drinks promptly and kindly and ensuring we did not faint out of pure bliss during our dining experience. All humans must enter this establishment and order a cheboygah. This is the only way to have the best in the universe. It will ruin all other boygahs for you at every place you ever get one. The fact that it comes with fresh cuts fried to superior excellence elevates your situation beyond your wildest dreams. Life begins anew when you leave here. There is nothing else but days of longing for the next time you get to go to Village Saloon.Kid-friendliness: Highchairs“
“HIDDEN GEM. We were a party of 4 and came from 45 minutes away. The place is a bit smaller, but that didn’t take away from the amazing experience we all had. The waiter, who has worked there for over 17 years, was exceptional. He was friendly and funny and we all had an excellent time with him. The food was perfect. Everything we ordered came out perfect. It was all hot and it was all very delicious. I would highly recommend the pancakes. We will for sure be back again and again.“
“I’ve been going to this place since high school (probably earlier but went more when i could drive) and i’m NEVER disappointed. Same order every time. P.S THEY PUT HASHBROWN ON YOUR SANDWICH. Do it you don’t regret it!!! Thank you G&S!“
“Went for lunch today and everything was so delicious! Ordered a Brooklyn panini and Polo’s punch. Shared an order of pesto garlic park boneless wings which are a must have everytime we come. Service at the bar was amazing even for it being 12“
“I went there with both of my daughters & my grandchildren that are 4 years old and 1 1/2 & we enjoy ourselves. The reason we went here was because the donate a percentage of the bill to the local high school. Staff friendly & atmosphere.“
“Excellent! Staff allowed us ample time to sit and visit even after we'd eaten. They did a fair amount of rearranging tables around us, but as it was Easter I realize things had been set differently to accommodate groups that day. Food was delicious and service was attentive“
“We had a 6pm dinner reservation for my boyfriend’s birthday. Told the server boyfriend has a shellfish allergy. We ordered calamari on his recommendation but asked about prawn sauce having prawns as part of the ingredients. Was initially told incorrect information and the sauce was delivered to our table.Not off to a great start.The calamari was the worst I’ve had in a long time. The rings were so small and dry. For $18 I could get much better quality at Panther Pub.We also ordered half a dozen oysters, which were okay. Between courses we sat thirsty with empty glasses and a clean table for about 10 mins before our tomahawk arrived. The steak was fantastic and the reason we will return!We were eating for a few mins before we were asked if we wanted more drinks. Meanwhile the table next to ours was seated, greeted, and drink order taken (by the same server).Luckily we did get some water this time, but waited quite a while for our second round of drinks. Server apologized for the delay. We get it, it’s a busy Saturday night.For dessert we got gelato and cappuccino, which was heavenly. Overall, the service and some of the food was a little disappointing for the price tag.“
“This local tavern seems to have transformed itself during the pandemic! The food is amazing! I was surprised at the prices however. We intended to stop in for a few beers and burgers, it was not a special night out but it wound up costing as much as if it were. The noise levels tend to get pretty high in the bar, so you may prefer to sit in the back dining area. Go and support locally owned establishments!“
“We went in June and were very disappointed, I reached out to the owner to let them know my complaints. They asked us to try them again. Last week we went back and I’m happy to say I had such a great time & meal! The owner revamped everything and it shows! We look forward to going back. We ordered the mozzarella sticks, and 2 different burgers. Both burgers were cooked perfectly and the mozz sticks were so good!“
“I past but this place very often and it always catches my eyes, because of it's unique A-frame log cabin look. Also, that it has a sign that says 'Drive-Thru' and next to it is another sign that says 'We Sell Beer'...always shake my head and have a chuckle!! One day decided to pop in and grab a dog. The inside is a bit odd, as the outside. The interior decor is a mashup of ski log cabin, a diner, and a hot dog stand...hilarious!! The staff at the counter was friendly and patiently waited for me to decide on what I wanted...breakfast or lunch...brunch times are the toughest!! Their menu board is larger than expected, also they serve breakfast all day. So, I got the breakfast sandwich to go and a hotdog with fries and a shake to eat in. The food was ok, a little pricey for average size portions. The staff was nice as they brought the food to the table. As I was sitting there looking around, taking in the unique decor once again. Not saying it's bad, just needs a few things updated. One area I enjoyed looking at...was a display case with the owner's father U.S. Army service jacket from WWII with a couple of his medals, photos, and letters. Definitely respect and appreciated that display of that history. One day I would like to come back to help them update that display case.“
“Very nice place for food and drinks, waiter was somewhat slow, due to understaffing,tending to very large birthday party. Otherwise on other days, pretty good service and drinks. Try them, you'll become a regular in your first visit.Parking: Good parking and handicap accessible.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, go there, you'll see!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Access by wheelchair, very accessible, ramp in rear of building also, front entry will also accommodate a wheelchair, level first floor.“
“The hotel looked very nice and modern with a great entryway. The rooms were well maintained and clean especially the beds, so comfortable. The staff was excellent especially Steve at the bar who helped us have a great evening after the wedding!“
“The Beacon was so accommodating since I planned my entire wedding dinner within a month. I needed as few headaches as possible. Edna coordinated everything! The staff was very polite and attentive. Everyone LOVED the food and atmosphere. I will be coming in regularly to try the other dishes on the menu and maybe a little line dancing.“
