“After not coming by for a long time, My girlfriend and I have been coming here a lot recently. The food has been amazing recently and it’s never packed so it’s a quiet, nice atmosphere inside. I would highly recommend checking it out !”
“I stumbled upon this place after googling best Mexican food in the area and after reading the reviews I had to go and try! The reviews definitely held up to the hype, the food tasted really fresh, and the portion for the price you paid was amazing. I got the chicken quesadilla and they easily added the peppers and onions to my order as requested. My fiance and I were both able to eat off of this one dish and become full. I will definitely be back to try more dishes from this place, I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for good and authentic Mexican food.”
“I’ve had some great little snacks from this place and I’m scared to mention my favorite so it doesn’t run out lol but I love this place and try to go back whenever I can to grab a snack little pricey for like 3-5 pastries it comes out to 30 ”

“I am so glad we stumbled upon this amazingly delicious bakery! I ordered the Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache and OMG, one of the best slices of chocolate cake I have ever had. The cake was moisture, not too sweet and super rich! Oh, and cant forget about the Iced Americano (which was a great balance with the cake) and the owner/staff were absolutely amazing and made us feel so comfortable during our experience. We came from Norther East Jersey but this place was well worth the drive and we will be visiting again soon!!”

“The best bowl of handmade knife sliced noodles outside of Chinatown. Cash only, no frills hidden gem of a joint. The menu is taped on the wall, the portions are generous, and nearly every time we've gone, we're the only customers in the room who aren't able to speak the language -- the place is the real deal.”
“Stopped in for a quick takeout. I had cecina tacos and my son the chicken quesadillas. Pretty straightforward, tacos were on the small side, 3 for $10. It's a small, quiet place, just 8 tables. Service was fast and friendly.Parking: Hit or miss”

“There are many Peruvian restaurants but Julia’s Cafe is one of my newest favorite Peruvian food in town. The food is definitely authentically made by a Peruvian cook that understands the passion of culinary through Peruvian cuisine. Even down to sauces and spices you can taste some authenticity. We often get catering when we have a get-together or a birthday and they often times accept despite not having delivery drivers sometimes. I’m grateful for the owner and his service and for food. Everyone should give them a try and have a taste for themselves. ??”

“The Ceviche is one of the best I ever had! But anything else we asked for they didn't have. The lady was almost pointing half of the menu and saying we don't have this this this and so on.”
“This place was recommended by a friend. Small establishment family owned. STELLA was delightful. She works side by side with her daughter. You can see she really enjoys cooking up her delishous empanadas and they take pride in what they do. The variety of empanadas ! Wow ! And desert empanadas also. There are so many to choose from. BBQ pulled pork, Philly cheese steak, buffalo chicken, mozzarella garlic and parsley were some of the best. Prices are good. Marinated grilled Chicken sandwiche and chori burger was delicious, so much flavor. Fries are on the crispy side as they are deep fried. If you like this kind of chip taste from a French fry then you will love these. If not I suggest getting a salad. The cost of a dozen fried is a great deal. If you want them baked it cost a lil more and will take a lot longer. So call ahead. They also do fundraisers and have a food truck. Call for more info. I'd have given a 5 star but I'm big on customer service. Upon entering it felt a lil akward when it should have felt welcoming. As this was my first time I believe you should give a friendly introduction no matter how busy you may be. You should make the time and give attention to the customers in front of you instead of the people who are calling in orders. It shows you care about the customers experience by puttingthem first. It sets the tone for your experience and for me will determine if I become a returning customer. I do recommend all the empanada lovers out there come and try Stella's Empanadas you won't be disappointed!Kid-friendliness: Kids love empanadas !”
“Randomly found this place on Google, and thank God I did! Tacos de cecina and camarones were super fresh, churros were crispy and fluffy, and the staff is extremely kind and helpful! I would DEFINITELY recommend this place to anyone looking for great, authentic Latin food!”

“I had a good time visiting this place. I really got a taste of Brazil having dinner there, I was with my friends, and it was a great party. The waiter Junior is very friendly and attentive, he is very nice and made our group feel at home. If you go there, ask to be attended by him, although everyone is very friendly. My only complaint is that the place was a little hot.”
“The staff is nice, a very authentic place. I ordered a Chaufa de mariscos but I noticed the seafood they used was pretty small kind of like they used frozen seafood. But of course it was delicious. The waitress was very attentive and it's a small family owned place so not many come and sit down to eat. My father ordered pescado a lo macho and it looked absolutely delicious! A giant fish fillet with seafood and sauce, I was jealous I didn't order that dish. Perhaps I will next time”
“The seasoning of the food was good, the service was not bad but could improve in terms of the quality of service to the diner, and the atmosphere is spacious but needs more lighting or perhaps changing the colors of the paint and if it is a Restaurant Peruvian television channels should perhaps show videos of the most beautiful and beautiful cities that Peru has, not make you watch a video of Buenos Aires, unless the owner is Argentine.”

“They have a different cooking style and different dishes than other Chinese restaurants I've been too. I like their fried rice and their spicy noodles soups.”

“I used to live off these burgers in college and recently revisited this gem. Brazilian burgers come with corn, Mayo, and potato sticks. don't forget to ask for extra pink sauce! pair it up with a passion fruit (maracuya) shake with condensed milk order ahead for a quick grab and go, but they also have plenty of tables if you want to dine in.”
“I truly enjoyed the food from this place. The chicken soup tasted homemade. The dumplings were so chewy and flavorful (a lot of places in the area make different kinds of dumplings so I was happy to see these). The entrees were both delicious. We ordered through Uber eats which can take a while to deliver but the food was still sooo hot when we received. The food was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I like in Chinese takeout. My new go-to place!”
“I ordered the beef chaufa and my wife ordered the rotisserie chicken. My chaufa lacked flavor, but was very hot. My wife's chicken was exceptional. The service was meh. Although, they are usually busy. Do with that information what you will.”

“Since the BJ’s app launched an express pay feature (not available for food stamps recipients.. yet) shopping has been quicker than ever. But if you’re paying with cash or food stamps go early. Parking spots for Online order pickups are always full with regular parked cars. My advice, go within their earlier hours and you’ll be good.”

“The old establishment had a fire. The new owner is remodeling it to have the restuatant side open again. No food is served here currently however, the drink prices are fair and the environment is great!”
“My brother and I ate some scrumptious ceviches, the grilled octopus was magnificent and the choritos a la chalaca were very good. It would be great if they opened another restaurant in other locations so we don't have to travel so far, although the trip is well worth it. I recommend them.”
“I recommend going to this restaurant. I was at Polleria Restaurante El Hornero with a friend and we had a good time, very delicious food, good service and good atmosphere.”

“(There's a pang of sadness when I see any of my old reviews that mention Clinton's iced teas. I guess I can find comfort that I drank entirely too many of them in my youth and even my own kids got to try them once or twice before the company went kaput.)Onward and upwards... it's now (almost) 2024 and while the the shelves are a bit more sparse than I recall and they got rid of their lottery machine (which seemed to bring in a lot of old-timers) - what I'm here for is their sandwiches.Specifically their #1 Italian. And I'm happy to report: they're still the best around.(And it tasted even better after a recent not-so-good visit to a Jersey Mike's in my hometown.)Besides their incredible subs you'll find the usuals (chips, soda, ice cream) and a few random items (aspirin, Chapstick).Cool crew behind the counter.Good pricing for such a quality product.Trying to find parking is still a nightmare.'Enjoy every sandwich.' -- Warren Zevon(No truer words were ever spoken.)”
“Harry and everyone else at this deli will go out of their way to help you. They prepare all the food fresh and they remember what customers have ordered in the past, plus they get to know people personally.”

“You can now order delicious Bindi treats online for individual homes! During quarantine, I had hard time picking up sweets and Bindi opened its doors for individuals to get their desserts!I love their pecan bars. I've ordered twice already and their cookies are delicious. I've also tried their apple caramel cake and it's not bad. They come pre-sliced. You can keep them in freezer and take out a few a day or two in advance to defrost in the fridge or just out in room temp.Just to note, they are "commercial" use sizes. For example, 5.5 lbs (21 count) of raspberry linzer bars. Each bar is about 4x 2.5 inches.Do go online and check it out! The delivery has been next day for me and I've been enjoying it!”

“I come here for sandwiches when I meet my girlfriend at Met Life Stadium after work. Not only do they make great sandwiches, but I'm always impressed by how organized they are. Plus this place is clean. Really clean. I have seen people mop floors, and clean counters, but how often to you see an employee getting on a ladder to even clean dust bunnies out of the AC vents? That's next level for any eatery!”
“I been coming to this place for years best food ever after school my son gets pizza and his slushy the owner is amazing with kids always fresh food and clean atmosphere and great ”
“We were searching for a good NJ bagel & The Bagel Corner did not disappoint. The bagels were crisp on the outside with a chewy center. Great variety of bagels to choose from.”
“It’s a neighborhood deli and family business that has been around for years. Whenever I go in there there is an atmosphere of neighborliness and friendliness to everyone, and he is definitely not a discriminatory business I would avoid all reviews that claim such nonsense. I appreciate the convenience of being able to walk 2 blocks to get what I need. He has very good sandwiches and Hershey’s ice cream which is addictive…better than any ice cream I’ve eaten”

“Great place to see bands! Been to a few @StompOut and @Poorman shows there and had a blast. As someone who's disabled it's great that they have a table to the side of the stage so someone like me doesn't have to try to see through the crowd to watch the bands.Staff is friendly and overall, Jimmy's is a solid venue, small enough to be intimate, big enough to accommodate a crowd. I'm a fan.”

Not to mention the lobby was sparkling clean which is a plus in my opinion ?Parking: Parking is spacious, clean and easily accessible.”
“I've been a BK customer a very long time and have been to many different locations around the country. This location is hands down the best in all categories. The staff was pleasant, the food presentation was impeccable and the dining area was pristine; all with a huge TV screen to watch while I ate my food. I was so pleased with my breakfast, I stayed to have lunch. Moreover, the bathroom was clean with a nice medicated soap to assure proper hygiene for customers and staff alike. Bravo to the Kearny BK on Passaic.”

The food was delicious and I’m happy that I was able to make more memories with one of my closest friends. It was a nice time!”

“Great Pizza! Peppino and Gustavo were great servers, and the food was excellent! However, the giant floating pizza head outside threatening the restaurant was a bit off-putting...”
“Jersey Mikes is a straightforward concept. All they have is sandwiches and they make them right. The roast beef is my jam and I get it Mike's way. The oil and vinegar hits just right and it needs a little mayo. Perfectly crafted sandwich that is consistent every time. Solid go-to!”

“Best breakfast around. Value and taste is amazing. If they accepted credit cards it would be perfect. I can't believe they closed out of nowhere. This place is going to be irreplaceable...”
“The service is amazing. I love how the waiter who is also in the bar served us. The restaurant is with Brazilian owners. I recommend this restaurant to big families or families with children. Lots of space. ❤️ my small children loved their food. Happy New Year!”
“Absolutely wonderful food. For a great price as well. What is nice about this hispanica local restaurant is that they serve popular american dishes, ranging from grilled chicken to protein omelettes to breakfast platters. They are extremely generous with the condiments and give you more than enough for the food. Super awesome of them for doing that. The restaurant itself is small and has few tables since it is a local in Kearny, New Jersey. I tried the omelette and the all American platter. Delicious. Would recommend for anyone in the Harrison area, definitely stop by and give this place a try. Their fries are thoughtfully delicious and crisp.Parking: Free street parking on a 2-way road”

“My favoriteeeeeee ice cream place! Not for Italian ice , I wish they would change the name because this place how such good homemade ice cream. They also change the flavors around sometimes, so I usually try whatever is new. One of the best tasting ice creams I've had so I won't go anywhere else.The last flavor I tried was churro ice cream with waffle cone crunchies on top. It was delicious! Tasted just like a churro.They have outside seating and welcome your pets :) this is also my dogs favorite ice cream place, she always get a vanilla soft serve with a dog treat on top haha so it's a perfect dog date”
