“Food at the cheesecake factory is always good! We always make sure to order the fried Mac and cheese balls.This location definitely could use a good wipedown on all of the surfaces, though. The menu pages were stuck together and sticky. The light fixtures at our table were covered in dust, and the partitions were dusty and streaky.“
“I got a grilled chicken club sandwich. Took a couple more minutes than I expected, but didn't mind since the food came out hot and fresh. Honestly a pretty great sandwich, good char on the chicken, crispy bacon and decent bread. Also on par price wise with something you'd get from McDonald's or BK while being heck of a lot better. Wish they had more locations and I'd go more often.“
“I just had the fried chicken honey mustard sandwich and it was delicious! The fries were excellent! Our server was very friendly and the service was speedy. This was my second time here and both experiences were great! Excellent place for a nice meal. As they say, "Try it, you'll like it!" ????“
“What an incredible event for our niece Angelina on her 18th Birthday! The family Nick, Patty and Alex Mastoris, down to the amazing staff that helped work Angelina's 18th birthday dinner was on point. The food, the amazing service and overall experience of how organized the dinner went. The family made our nieces birthday extra special that she won't ever forget. All family and friends enjoyed their cocktails, mocktails, dessert stations and prefix meal that was ABSOLUTELY delicious. Thank you so much Mastoris family! We will be definitely planning on a future party with you folks again. We are very thankful to all of you. Allison J“
“Went Easter Sunday. Table was ready when we got there. Our server 'Alex' - she was the best. Kept an eye on us to see if we needed anything. Food absolutely out of this world Nicely spaced between appetizers and main meal. Gave us time to digest. Absolutely must come here.“
“As an expat Manhattanite who has been lucky enough to visit some of NYC's finest restaurants, I always tread carefully into what my friends have called a "great" suburban restaurant, as I have been disappointed too many times. Blue Bottle Cafe had the typical Hopewell-Princeton feel, an old home converted into a restaurant with several rooms, adored with a few interesting oil paintings. The first disappointment was a wait staff with no personality, no panache and no class. The hostess/wait person sat us, after some confusion as to where to put us, and then pulled out a pen and asked if we were ready to order or wanted more time, much the way a short order cook would. When we asked for tap water without ice (when will suburban restaurants start doing the smart thing, and simply put down a large carafe of water (NO ICE) on the table, so we don't have to keep asking for refills nor do we have to deal with freezing, too-cold-to sip water?) we were simply ignored. At this point, I was thinking, this is not going to be anything special. But then...the food arrived.My friend and I shared a stupendous Brussels sprouts starter, cold, crunchy and touched off by some white, cream-like sauce that was a slice of heaven. The bread, which I am told comes from a local bread company (also, the bread at a restaurant speaks volumes of both care and quality of owner/chef) was rustic, flavorful and served with already softened butter (a nice touch). My main, crispy scallops, were silky tender and mouth-wateringly tasty. And the chocolate profiteroles for dessert managed to taste decadent and light at the same time. To the owners, I say this: please take the ice out of your water, and find a way to re-train your staff. They do not measure up to the elegance and quality of your food.“
“Excellent place, delicious food, very good prices and very professional attention from Evelyn. Without a doubt she is an incredible collaborator of this restaurant. Without hesitation I will return again with my wife. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“First time visiting Charcoal and won't be my last. Met up with a friend here today for lunch. We split the brioche donut, which was amazing! I ordered the fancy smash burger (the double) and my friend ordered the Korean fried chicken sandwich.My burger was incredible, one of the best burgers I've had in a very long time. My friend really enjoyed his chicken sandwich, says it was the perfect amount of heat.I'll be bringing my family back here soon so they can try or for themselves.“
“This joint was jumping on a Friday at 6:30. We would have been turned away without a reservation. The pork chop scarpariello, short ribs and filet were excellent entrees. This was a birthday celebration, which is why we went a bit high-end. This venue at this time of night might be a bit noisy for some , but no complaints here - just an excellent meal!“
“The best neighborhood family restaurant!My favorite of all time: masala chicken or grill pork chop with side anchovies garlic olive oil pasta (Ooi pasta), end with espresso martini! Or hot sausage with broccoli rabe and sweet sausage escarole and beans!Every Tuesday night out dinner spot with our favorite bar tender Maryellen and the best cook Justin!Jo Jo is famous with it bar pie too! Make your own thin crust. My favorite will be half sausage and half black olive!Bon Appetito!“
“We came here with a party of eight plus a 7 yr old child. The restaurant was clean and had something on the menu for everyone.The service was amazing. Jason was fantastic as well as the chef and his wife who's the co-owner.The food was flavorful and not over seasoned like what you'd find in chain restaurants. We ordered wings (extra crispy) for appetizers and we ended up ordering some to go-they were very good. The chef (Bishop) came out to say hello and he was so warm and delightful.This is a hidden gem and we'll definitely be coming back again soon!“
“I love their fast service and delicious food. The coffee and tea station right inside the door is very convenient if you're in a hurry. The desserts are so good - I especially love the coconut rice pudding. The potato salad is my favorite around - fresh herbs and the perfect balance of ingredients! Stop here for a quick wholesome meal.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free and vegan options.“
“Hadn't been there for years. We had a satisfactory experience but not as good as we had hoped. The menu choices were rather limited. My husband's entre was very nice but my salmon dish was lack luster and bland. Herbs and spices were missing. The service was very good and hopefully with the introduction of some more interesting entrees, we would be more enthusiastic about Acacia. We definitely will try them again.“
“Not sure why I waited so long to try this place but glad I finally got around to it. Warning: make reservations or be prepared to wait on the weekends. We arrived an hour before our reservation and enjoyed some drinks at the bar. Speaking of, be prepared to stand in a rather small, crowded space. But drinks help you forget about that. I tried the grapefruit cocktail and they certainly didn't water that drink down. Next up, the main event! We started with the pork belly fries which were tasty and perfect for sharing. I got the burger with short rib which was delicious. The service was fairly quick and friendly; honestly I was shocked they didn't rush us out considering it was nearing closing time. I'd return to try more burgers but I'd prefer lunch or a weekday since parking here is very limited with barely any street parking in sight.“

“The consistency of excellent food and service is remarkable. We have had numerous meals there and several banquets that were truly outstanding .Very enjoyable experiences and my hat off to Alex the General Manager for checking to see that everyone is happy..“
“I was interested in trying a traditional Philadelphia Cheesesteak....they serve exactly what I was looking for. The meat was good the cheese to meat portion was good, and all melted in there..my only complaint was the serving size was way to big...a half of sandwich was all I could eat..being so large, the price like the sandwich was 2 x too high.. They serve bottled Birch Root beer, which is excellent.“
“This. Places. Is fabulous ! Really good. The food. And service is top notch ! I love hing thing. About or his gem hubby got filetop mignon wiith Gorgonzola cheese iii had the stuffed chicken breast. Own/...prosciutto d propped wwith tomato cream sauce Deli hb. Our newnfav place“
“Had a wonderful birthday dinner with the family downstairs in the wine room! Waiter's recs were spot on - everything was delicious. Especially the mussels, Brussels, flounder, and coconut dessert. Cocktails were okay. Looking forward to next time!“
“First I would like to acknowledge our waiter, Joshua B. He was such a pleasure and so attentive and personable. The recommendations were great and his personality was an experience in itself. The manager was also amazing and my only regret was not getting his name. Now let’s get into the food…EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING prepared was delicious. The tuna tartare and lobster bites were my absolute favorite apps. The entrees were phenomenal. I have the surf and turf and my wife had the cowboy with the lobster and cherry pepper topping and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere was lovely and the drinks ESPECIALLY THE POMEGRANATE SPRITZ and Pomegranate Sangria …AMAZING !“
“We had a long wait to get a server to come by. My wife went to look for someone to make sure we hadn't been forgotten. The manager came by and apologized for the wait, blaming himself for the delay. He offered us a free appetizer for waiting which was nice. The food is always good but atmosphere is just so-so. I don't think the place has been updated in 20 years, so it's due.“
“We were out of towners stuck during Thanksgiving and stopped in here for lunch and a drink. We sat out back on the patio enjoying the view of the river til we got too cold. First of all - this might have been the best chicken pot pie I’ve had, and I’ve had a few. Secondly, everyone who worked there was beyond hospitable and so great. I don’t know if I’ll ever be back in New Jersey but if I am I’m B-lining it here to eat another pot pie ?“
“Excellent experience. My wife and I went there as a belated Valentine's day treat for ourselves and did the 17 course tasting menu. We also sprung for the wine pairing. I think 16/17 dishes were excellent and there was only one that was "just ok". Wine pairing was excellent and pours were generous. My only advice would be to pace yourself, don't need to eat and drink everything! A little expensive but worth it for what you get.“
“I've stopped in here a few times with my partner and teen for breakfast. It's a simple little place for breakfast or lunch doesn't try to add a lot of frills. The place is typically busy whenever we've gone, which I don't prefer, but is indicative of the quality in this case.While my partner has only ever ordered the fish and chips, I try something new more often than not. Everything from the above mentioned fish and chips, to the burgers, to the eggs, to their chicken and waffles have all been delicious so far, and I look forward to slowly exploring the rest of the menu.“
“We held a birthday celebration for my Wife at the Vault in their private event room. We hosted over 50 guests and the room was perfect for a party of that size. Plenty of seating throughout, and the room was nice and comfortable. Everyone enjoyed themselves and raved about the food! Last, but not least, Sarah and the entire staff at the Vault that took care of us for the 3 hour event were awesome! Helpful and attentive and making sure the experience for everyone was great. Sarah was communicative and helpful in putting together the event as well. I would recommend using the Vault for a private event. We are very happy with how everything turned out!“
“This place is amazing. This was my first time having this place. It was amazing, from the girl taking the order and explaining how ordering worked. She even gave my son a sample of Mac and Cheese to my son to try before ordering his kids meal.While eating Maribeth came around and was giving out samples. She was clearing off tables and asking if she could clear off what we were done with. She was very friendly and we enjoyed talking with her.I will say the snap bean are amazing and if I could’ve, I would’ve brought the whole pot home. All of the food is delicious.. I had pulled chicken and brisket, along with cornbread and snap bean and baked beans and you get so much food, the meats are so tender and flavorful. So worth the hour drive.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and it’s filled with all of the foods kids love.. they even let the kids sample the Mac and cheese.“
“Awesome place to have a drink and some great food. Chris the bartender was awesome! He suggested a few of his favorite items on the menu and he did not disappoint. We had a personal pizza and the 50/50 Firecracker shrimp and Calamari. We will definitely be back again.“
“We were seated immediately while a world class piano player played lovely classical melodies. The restaurant was nearly full but didn't feel crowded. The bar was popular and was full. The energy level felt when walking in was positive but not overwhelming or rowdy. Suggest eating in the more formal dinning rooms if you don't want to be near the piano. We had a great meal/service with old friends. A+ for the dining and restaurant experience. Food was fresh and came out in a reasonable time. The server(s) were on point, warm, engaging, and sincere. They hustled but not in a way that was harried or pressed. The bussers kept our water glasses full and were lovely. If you are conscious of history and period architecture, the structure is impressive: built in 1811, the walls are thick stone, the large wood beams in the more formal dining rooms are impressive; the fire place made the dining room especially comfortable and accented the historic, warm tones in the room. We had the special soup (Tomato Bisque); vegetable spring rolls; and duck ravioli. Main courses: Fettuccini, Grilled Beef Tenderloin Medallions; and a Cheeseburger. For dessert, a delicious Warm Peanut Butter Brownie with vanilla ice cream.“
“Witherspoon Grill was amazing. We were greeted by our server within seconds of sitting down. He took excellent care of us, from talking about the daily specials to ensuring our drinks were topped off. The food was simply amazing. I had the fresh caught cod with a lemon beurre blanc sauce and the house salad. 10/10 will hopefully be back soon!“
“Nice bar, their vodka martini was perfect. They have a decent selection of specialty cocktails, and everyone enjoyed the drinks. The bar area is comfortable, the patio looks like a perfect place to hang when the weather turns nice. I heard the food was good, looking forward to going back. Service is good, easy parking in the back.“
“Had a great dinner tonight with my family. Fish and chips were some of the best we’ve had in a while. Randall and Paul, or servers were very attentive, and we never had to wait for anything. Julie, the manager check to make sure everything was fine and, also got refills on our beverages. High recommend this establishment.“
“If i could put 10 stars i would, me and my boyfriend stopped by because we were in the area and were looking for some food to munch on. We got greeted by the lady as soon as we walked in and the atmosphere was nice and cozy. And the food… AMAZING!!!! Its delicious and hot soooo flavorful!!! Definitely recommend the lobster mac, salmon fried rice, sweet chili tenders, fried chicken, mashed potatoes. I’ll definitely be back whenever im in the area again!!!!! Also if you have card dont worry they got cashapp/apple pay!“
“Food was great, we went here because it was close by an event venue and was open late on Sunday night. It is a tavern atmosphere, at least at dinner time, so be aware the music is somewhat loud and not 100% family friendly. But otherwise it's a good place with good “
“This is my second visit to The Dinky Bar and Grill in Princeton which offers great views of the campus. We were going to see a play at McCarter and it is so convenient being across the street. The Dinky has an intimate vibe. Being the original Train Depot the feel of the place is still a train depot which I love. The menu is limited but certainly enough to choose from. There are shareable plates as well full entrees. Very good food and drinks. Our server Kayla was amazing. She needs to be recognized because she was extraordinary. A very busy place pre theater but Kayla never stopped smiling Great experience all around. Will definitely be going again.“
“We both very much enjoyed our meal at the Roadhouse. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and our sides were delicious as well. The only issue was the Caesar salad because it was under dressed. It was practically dry. Other than that, we enjoyed our dinner.“
“I went in today for lunch with a good friend who is fighting cancer and haven't seen in a long time. Her stomache is very fickle and she did amazingly well with the food. It's definitely leaning towards fine dining. Linen table cloths, linen knapkins, polished silverware, white glove service without the gloves. Our sever observed us without being intrusive. He only served the next dished when we stopped eating the first one. If you're accustomed to being entertained by your server, this is not for you. If you value uninterrupted time spent with your guest while still not being neglected, this is for you. I actually like it when the server is vigilant but not overbearing. I want to enjoy the food, take in the atmosphere and speak with my friend, and our server allowed us to just be present. We never had to ask for anything. It was brought out at the right time, our needs were anticipated and we were greeted by Chef Jason, who greeted every table. I recommend the truffle oil fries, beet salad and hand held chicken pesto. The presentation of all three dishes was beautiful. Thank you so much. It was a really good experience.“
“We just had a retirement party last night and the food was amazing. Derek was always checking on us to make sure that we had everything we needed. I will definitely have another party there again. We had about 30-40 people there and definitely had enough food and drinks and the food was “
“I drove past this place after delivering something for work next door. I never saw or heard of the place before, even though I lived in Ewing for school for 4 years and currently work right in Lawrenceville now. The outside atmosphere of the place looked very historical and warm. I decided to look up the menu and thought it looked good, so I brought my girlfriend here for her birthday. Neither of us knew what to expect. When we walked inside, we noticed the restaurant was cozy with a nice bar and a few tables to sit at. The music was playing faintly and was a calm and relaxing place to celebrate her birthday. The food was great too, french onion soup was one of the best I ever had, and our pasta dishes of penne vodka and seafood fra diablo were cooked very well. The waitstaff was great and the whole experience was worth the visit. Would definitely come back and recommend to others.“
“My husband and I have had breakfast here a few times, always good, so we tried dinner last night. We both ordered the 12oz. strip steak and I like mine rare and he likes his well done and they were both cooked perfectly! The meal also included a baked potato and green beans. I love the food! The prices are reasonable and I can't wait to try their lunch. So happy we discovered this place!!“
“It's great to see a local hotdog spot in general, but one with such dedication to our first responders and armed services is even better. The staff is warm and kind and the food is incredible. If you're looking for quality, this is the spot!“
“I dined here yesterday for the first timeand had shrimp tacos which were very tasty and full of shrimp. The other two people in my I party had french omlettes both said they were delicious as well. Service was quick, atmosphere welcoming, food priced just right. I will definitely frequent again. Thank you Aunt Chubby's!“
“One of our “go to” restaurants/bars. Mistral offers a unique blend of American cuisine infused with a touch of ethnic flavors. I also appreciate the changes in their menus based on seasonal abundance. My favorites are the chicken wings, salmon bites and grilled kale salad.The bar area is one of my favorite local hangouts.“
“It wasn't too busy when I went. Actually, it was well after lunch. They seated me right away and brought my drink out immediately after taking my order. Service was good, and the food was even better. Didn't take long for them to serve me. Waitress kept checking in with me, as one should expect. I highly recommend this establishment for those of you looking for place of comfort as you dine with friends, family, or casual encounters with coworkers.“
“Love it here! Service is friendly, great food that comes out in a timely manner - can’t go wrong with whatever you order. Love the classic diner look. Plenty of free parking in the lot. I especially love coming here around the holidays when a local woman makes gifts that have cute mugs and goodies inside - perfect and inexpensive! I still have my snowman mug from a couple years ago!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp for convenience.“
“Wanted to get something good to eat been to Outback and Red Lobster plenty of times so I gave this place a try and it knocked it out the park was super delicious the staff was very nice all the way around it was a five star experience will definitely be coming back “

“The very best in pizza, subs, the only place i trust to make me a good meatball without that nasty under taste you get from most restaurant meatballs.Family owned and operated, been coming here since I was a kid. I moved away some 10 years ago and somehow the brothers remember me when I stop by which is whenever i'm in town. I love th“
“This place is amazing! It used to be on the main drag many years ago, but somehow it lasted over the years. It has great food and super friendly staff. We went in there and I told them that we have never been here before. The server walked us through all the items on the menu and was very friendly.On the menu they have interesting items that you would not expect at a diner. I had a cajon dish that had crab and eggs. It was great. There are a lot more options too.Inside the restaurant it is still decorated in the old 1950s style. It has cast aluminum fixtures including doors and trim along the bar. It has classic styling that has years of use, but the restaurant is still clean and in good condition. In one of my photos notice the old table top and the old plastic leather chairs from the 1950s. It is really neat to see this all still in use today.Parking: The parking lot is large and has room to turn around.“
“Three great spots all under one roof! There's an old school dive bar, a more upscale pub, and a spacious banquet room. Great food, great service, and three great atmospheres. Highly recommend the smash burger with a side of onion rings!“
“Christmas pkup, as busy as it was the staff greeted you with a smile and assisted you quickly. Always enough help to get you in n out. The ham is our favorite. We pick up one at least 3-4 times a year. Wouldn’t go anywhere else, best ham ever. Lunches are great also.Parking: Easy to get in n out.Kid-friendliness: Customer service is excellent. Pleasant, n courteous always helpful w suggestions.“
“Had brunch here with friends. Very cute place, and the food and drinks were tasty. The server was nice as well. Main reason for not 5 stars is that the tables are small (so takes some shuffling of plates if in a group) and are so close you overhear the conversations of every table around you, and they hear yours. Not ideal for a gossipy girl brunch or flirty dates, but otherwise we really enjoyed the experience. Would eat here again for sure - I had the scallops and they were perfectly seasoned and cooked just right.“
“What can you say, it's Hooters. Breaded wings are excellent, drinks are beer or silly names with fun colors, waitresses are in tiny outfits. Our server was Kian, bubbly and fun, spectacular service. Looking for fine dining? Don't, it's Hooters. Looking for a pretty girl to bring you a cold beer and amazing wings? Stop in.“
