“The Smoke Rise inn is the neighborhood's best kept secret This charming building has as much history as it does ambiance It is believed to be a private establishment due to it being behind the Smoke rise community gates but it is open to the public When you walk into the bar area you can't help feeling like you are walking into the tv show cheers Everyone does know your name or will by the time you leave The staff and the usual patrons are extremely friendly and love meeting new folks The bar room is charming with stone and wood walls and a cozy fireplace on the upper seating area There is dining in the gazebo room which is equally as lovely and a bit quieter The food is delicious and the drinks are quite generous The Inn can also accommodate weddings in their ballroom or private parties So if you haven't checked out this fabulous eatery come drop in but make sure you make a reservation on the weekend“

“Great food! Great atmosphere! All of the food is good. But one of my favorite dishes there is the Calamari. Whether it's Asian, grilled, or on top of Pizza, it's Phenomenal! Brought in fresh, and cut there it's the best hands down. I recommend everyone must try it. I personally get the Asian Calamari. Try it!“

“I don't know how many times I drove by Wood Stack on Rt 46 without paying any attention to it. Then a family party was held there and I was impressed. The food here is just good. Fresh, plenty of it, and served attractively. It has become one of our go-tos. I especially like the lunch menu - the eggplant sandwich and half salad is my regular order. The pizzas are excellent and the entrees generous and full of flavor. My husband's favorite thing is the chocolate chip cookie and milk dessert, served warm on a wooden board. Service is always consistent too. Great place to have here in town.“

“We went last night with our friends for our Anniversaries, first time there, We were very pleased!!!!! Food was Delicious! Service was Awesome! And the atmosphere was warm & comforting We will be back!!!! Wish we knew about this place a lot sooner. I had the chicken Melanese ,which was absolutely out of this world. My husband had the whiskey burger which he loved. My girlfriend had the veggie burger which she loved, and her husband had the salmon which he enjoyed very much for appetizers. We had the Fried Calamari , which was very very good and very tender and the avocado toast, which was out of this world and I had the best white sangria I’ve had in a darn long time. ?????? it couldn’t have been any better. It was just perfect. Thank you. We will see you again.♥️ and our bill was not very high at all. The prices are good. Everything was perfect, the perfect place to celebrate our anniversaries.“

“I have to say this place is top-notch phenomenal ?. I was here with my family for my birthday and Jon was our server. To start we ordered the wings and Burrata as appetizers OMG delicious. For entrees, we ordered the Tomahawk for my husband and I with hand-cut fries and brussel sprouts and my daughter ordered the Boneless Ribeye with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Every single dish tasted like homemade. For dessert, we had the Tres leches and Tiramisu. Tres leches wasn't too sweet and Tiramisu was on point. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a delicious steak.????? stars in my book ?“

“This place has excellent food and amazing drinks to go along with its awesome atmosphere. It has 2 sides to the restaurant, a dining area, and an awesome bar area with TV's everywhere & tables where you can also sit and eat as well. It is like a Mini Hard Rock Cafe with a ton of classic rock & roll memorabilia & great music. Forgot to mention live music after dinner hours too. Great experience. We will go back there again for sure“

“River of Beer does a great job supporting the NJ Craft Beer Brewers. I just wish those same brewers would take their companies offerings more serious and treat it like the incredibly difficult market they are in rather than treat it like a hobby. We have over 200 breweries and just a handful of ones that can compete in flavor with some of the better North East brewers. We need better tasting beer in our backyard.“

“Who knew that one of New Jersey's best Italian restaurants would be in a Hampton Inn on Route 46 in Fairfield? Well it is. Just all around great food and service. I would appreciate of the staff hovered a little less looking to take away finished meals!!!“

“The overall feel and ambiance of this restaurant is definitely Korean-vibes. However, the cost of the food is beginning to really climb over these last handful of years. I have gone to this restaurant a bunch of times prior, and most especially prior to 2020. Yet, noticeably, the cost is rising. Ample parking, though. Quality well cooked/home-cooked Korean food and prompt service. Tasty!“

“I've decided this is my go to bar to bring everyone when we meet up from family, friends, coworkers, day drinking etc. I like the theme nights, bingo, trivia, bands, etc. I want business to go well from them so they open with kitchen & its profitable all week. Foods amazing...good "no mess behaved" atmosphere. My go to place. Bartenders and everyone are nice.“

“An awesome super friendly place to come. Welcomes everyone. Very unique place. The grill has a Caribbean flare, with curried onion burgers and stewed chicken. They make their rum punches on site and they're refreshing and taste authentic. They have many events and lots of live music. The bar is ridiculously clean. Can't really go wrong here, whether you're flying solo or running with friends. Can even bring kids earlier in the night.If you like cheese steak get the J*** cheese steak! Crazy good comfort food that one.And the service is super friendly!“

“We come from Morristown for this gem! Drive over probably weekly with our 3 young children and are always impressed. Family friendly environment in dining room and they are all friendly and accommodating. Great kids menu and fantastic food/beer menu. It’s our favorite spot! Consistently good!“

“Food was outstanding per usual! Service was a bit choppy though. Busboy/back waiter was a bit strange in that he asked a few times if we were done with our meal despite us all having forks and knife's in our hands clearly still eating. And the time we were finished, he'd ask, we said yes, and then he walked away? Also, reservation notes were not met. I noted that my father was in a wheelchair and when we got to the table we had to ask for a chair to be removed. On top of that, asked for a high chair to be at the table in the notes for my niece and that wasn't there either. As someone who manages a restaurant in NYC, Oceana Restaurant - I'm the bar manager, I understand that sometimes there are off nights. I'm chalking it up to that, and we will be back for the great food.“

“Just had a great meal at Country Cottage. Steamed clams were done to perfection with a broth that begged to be eaten with the fresh crusty bread brought to our table. The lamb chops came out medium rare as requested and the eggplant rollatini was served on a bed of fresh spinach with mushrooms and garlic since I had opted not to have pasta. Our waitress was very attentive and provided great service. I was concerned about noise level since the bar had been expanded but it was not an issue at all. My husband and I were able to enjoy our dinners and conversation.“

“Had a great time here with friends. Good food, fantastic service, and a nice table to chat away the night. Didn't get to take any pictures, but it's basically a pub style with plenty of tables right on the main street in Pompton Lakes. We hadn't been in this area for a LONG time. We went around the corner and there was St Mary's church where we got married 41 years ago last week!!!“

“This was my first time in here as it was for my tuesday night dart league. Its a small bar but as soon as i wakked in and had to get a drink, the bartender made it feel like ive going there for a long time. They do have a bar menu and its a mix of typical bar food/snacks and stuff you wont see at a bar too much. They offer pizza, hot oven pretzels, wings, tenders, fried raviolis, hot dogs, burgers, cheese steaks, buffalo tots (I was sucking on ice for an hour but it was good). So you guessed it, i enjoyed it.“

“The Second Half On Main exceeded my expectations in every way. From the delicious food to the incredibly friendly staff, every aspect of my experience was delightful. The portions were generous, and the prices were surprisingly affordable considering the quality of the food. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying meal in a welcoming atmosphere.“

“Visited this restaurant for Sunday lunch with my bf. I ordered the midnight sangria but sent it back because it was tooo sweet . Then I got the flaming margarita which was good . I also ordered the lavender martini and that was nasty . So their drinks is a hit and miss !!! For food we ordered the blackened shrimp and fish tacos and shrimp pasta and salad . No complaints on the food . Our bartender/ server Olivia was attentive and nice ..“

“Wonderful place ❤️We did not make a reservationAnd they welcomed us very friendly ?they gave us the good drink playing the drum they have when we entered they directed us to the table We were served by a waiter ??‍♂️very friendly with a lot of patience ❤️ the chef ??‍?❤️was very kind and an excellent chef He spoke to us in our Spanish language and cooked very delicious ?? ???? he was very kind ❤️? If God allows it, I will see that restaurant ..“

“Stumble inn is the classic north jersey local bar/pub. It has that Old schoolatmosphere with mostly a local crowd but are very welcoming to all. Awesome shuffle board table that you don't see that often. Food is good, wings, bar pie's and killer burgers.“

“We went over for the superbowl because some of the other restaurants in town were closed and we were very pleasantly surprised. I don't know why it wasn't on our radar sooner. We got a bunch of appetizers and they were all really good. The wings were stand-out. I will say that the portions were a little bit smaller than I was hoping, but at least everything tasted good. The drinks were reasonably priced and they made my wife a very respectable espresso martini with actual coffee in it. The owner came up to our table to check in on us and the host was very sweet and kind as well. They have large rooms that you can rent out for events which is pretty cool too and they have a bunch of TVs around for games and such. Its like a sports bar in some ways, but it feels like a more elevated experience than your average sports bar or pub. We will definitely be going back!Parking: Plenty of spots in the front of the building, the side, and the back. The handicap spots are to the right when you pull in so they are directly in front and the rest of the parking is to the left and then clockwise around the building.“

“Tuesday is karaoke night. The bar is happening but not busy, the music is on but not unmanageable, and the drinks are good. I really enjoyed my time, and the drinks, and the service. I'll only knock the fact that the menu doesn't display prices and the "not IPA craft selection" is pretty bad. Which I know is a tall ask but for 20+ beers is a little bit disappointing.I would totally go back.“

“Dined her many times years ago when I worked nearby, it’s been over 20 yrs. It was excellent then, and still is now! Some of the best Italian food you can have. Everything we had was excellent… fresh & full of flavor. It’s a bit out of the way for some, but so worth the trip. I live in Florida and have had many grouper meals, the potato crusted grouper here is ?! The best I ever had. My wife had a chicken dish with pasta that was the bomb. My buddy had the pork chop that was tender and tasty. If you’re looking for a quite atmosphere with great cocktails and fantastic food, you need to make plans to drive to Hibernia Inn ( approximately 3 miles off the Hibernia/Rockaway exit off of Rt 80). This is family owned for many years and they keep bringing a excellent dinning experience. Wish they were in my home town in Florida ?“

“I found this gem on Yelp, and am so glad I did. Had a burger fries and fresh made chicken soup... out of this world!!! Everything perfectly and correctly made the bun for the burger fantastic, how often do you say that. The decor, reminiscent of your quintessential "hole in the wall" taverns...love it!!“

“Great local spot. They don't serve food but they can order delivery for you from some spots they partner with nearby. Gooood whiskey selection. Great for try before you buy. Also nice rotating tab list and even some wine on tap.Parking: It's in a shopping center that doesn't get crazy busy.“

“Adam’s Beer Garden is a secret gem! I’ve driven passed this a thousand times. There is more then enough room to watch all the games. Spread out at this bar there is a bunch of things to do. Play pool, play the lottery, I believe they have a dart board! Go outside where there is even more endless space and challenge someone to foos ball. Before you go outside grab a cigar from their humidor. Then just chill out there in front of a big screen and watch your team win a game. They have a okay selection of cigars to choose from. The cigars are reasonably priced. Lots of beer on tap. We ordered a pitcher you should too! Cash only! Don’t think they sell food.Parking: I parked along the railroad tracks.“

“The fresh bread with cheese was excellent. I ordered the grilled octopus (26.00) and was disappointed. I didn't care much for the salad that it came on, since what I was craving is a nice piece of octopus. It was too chewy, overly charred and it didn't seem fresh to me. Overall, it was a nice place and service was good.“

“We visited The West Essex Diner on a bustling Sunday morning, arriving around noon. Despite the crowd, we were seated within a brief 10-minute wait, which was understandable given the rush. However, the dining experience left much to be desired. I ordered a classic breakfast featuring sunny-side-up eggs with a side of steak and home fries, accompanied by toast and coffee. My friend opted for a western omelet paired with French toast. Disappointingly, the French toast lacked powdered sugar, and despite requesting jelly, our waiter seemed to disappear.The food, unfortunately, was rather lackluster, lacking any distinctive flavor or appeal. While the service was initially prompt, our waiter was notably absent after serving our meals, only reappearing when we requested the check. It was then that he offered more coffee, but by that point, I was already ready to leave. Overall, the experience felt ordinary, and the food failed to surpass what I could have easily prepared at home with more flavor.“

“Four of us for dinner, food was served in a timely manner,Danielle was our waitress very happy and polite ,had a problem with a drink we ordered she replaced it with no problem ?????Parking: We got there around 7.45 Saturday night there was a few spotsWheelchair accessibility: Did not use a wheelchair but did notice there was easy access,everything on level ground“

“Best Kettle One Extra Dirty Martini's ever with the most delicious olives. The potato skins, bourbon honey Buffalo wings, fresh guacamole, French onion soup and salads are fabulous. Been here several times and never disappointed. Arrive before 5:30 as it's always busy. The servers and managers are caring, diligent and very accommodating even during busy dining hours they do their best and hustle. It's become a favorite place to go with friends.“

“This place is awesome! Plenty of assorted appetizers to please all. Had the pierogi with kielbasa very satisfying and then the wings which were not batter dipped but with a spicy rub and those were delicious, crispy and yet juicy inside! Service is on point! Atmosphere very friendly and very local Sinagac crowd! Definitely a repeat!“

“Finally came tonight after months of hearing good reviews from friends. My husband and I are definitely going to be regulars. There are so many different choices on the menu that we had a difficult time choosing. We decided to go with the onion soup and goat cheese salad for appetizers and Burger and Salmon for our entrees (which were all delicious!) Can't wait to try all their other options! Didn't have room for dessert, but the options looked so good! Service is on point and friendly. This is truly a hidden gem!“

“My location is across the main road (Marshall's) from Mario's and TJ's in down town next to Uncorked Wines which functions as a superb choice of wines comparable to the best choices I've taken home from the best of New York's marvelous selections. Uncorked Wines has huge selections and backed up with considerate explanations from careful clerks that seem to care and want to bring you the best and most reasonable pricing we have elsewhere in West Milford. Uncorked has three floor to ceiling selections that beat any thing you'll find in Warwick or along any of the major advertisers that never have what you want and your still thirsty.“
