“This is probably the best Ihop, I've been to. Bypass others to go here.Parking: There is enough parking to accommodate every table there. If lot is full, so is IhopKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, however you never know who will be seated near you. There will be customers of all walks of life.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, there is a ramp, but it is steep to me. Person should have assistance.“
“Food was delicious , great owners and great atmosphere. Definitely will go again. Plenty of different choices as far as the burgers and the fries with the munchies sauce was awesome.Parking: You can park across the street or on the street. In front of the establishment is a little tight.“
“Definitely recommend it! Food is really good. Kelle-paca soup and oh the LIVER! You’re not going to regret it. The atmosphere is really nice and friendly. Ali Bey is so kind and has a funny sense of humor. :) Don’t think twice, just come here. <3“
“My chicken was made fresh to order and did not disappoint. Super crispy and juicy and the Cole slaw was phenomenal as well. Great little place. My first time and definitely not my last. Owner was super nice as well. Also ordered a green smoothie and that was also fresh made with real fruit.“
“Finally decided to try The Barrow House- a beautiful, rustic, huge and clean place. It’s got good, extensive menu, huge bar to hang out with friends, comfortable waiting area , great porch with swings & rocking chairs; and of course , great, attentive staff (shout out to Maris)! Everyone was friendly & attentive. It’s definitely a place I will recommend and take my friends!“
“The food was super fresh and so tasty. I think we were there shortly before closing but the few tables that were also dining at the same time were also served quickly. My family ordered three different entrees and shared. We were really happy with our meals- everything was super fresh, the use of veggies and sauces really elevated the taste and quality of the seafood being used. The staff was very friendly and the place had a comfortable feel.“
“We were in town for a funeral and after a couple of grueling days, wanted a bowl of "comfort food." Being vegan, I called Prime Pizza to ask if their tomato sauce had cheese and was assured it was vegan. I mentioned pasta primavera, which is not on their menu, and was told to please come in, they would create something for us. Our big bowl of pasta had very generous portions of fresh broccoli, mushrooms and carrots. The sauce was flavorful and delicious and the veggies were perfect. It was just what we had hoped to find. Owners/employees---the staff--couldn't have been kinder. Highly recommended!! Oh, and Sinatra playing in the background was great!Dietary restrictions: Great vegan pasta primavera (custom-made on request).“
“I love Applebees and all the staff was absolutely amazing! I was with my child and they were nothing but accommodating. My server Darius went above and beyond with all my little requests, and I couldn’t be happier.My favorite Applebees spot by far.“
“The food here is absolutely wonderful! We weren’t sure what to try because we are from out of town and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful as well. The entire restaurant looked clean and was well kept as well. I tried the chicken bruschetta sandwich and it was delicious- the flavors are all there and it’s definitely fresh as well. The macaroni salad was also delicious, and tasted like it had a creamy vinaigrette base. Definitely will eat here again, and I highly recommend stopping.“
“Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. I had a egg omelette with mozzarella cheese and bacon and asparagus and some blueberry pancakes ??. The omelette was very tasty. Perfect size portion. Blueberry pancakes or also very good fresh plump blueberries ?? . Our waitresses so polite and friendly. Very accommodating. Constantly kept coming back and checking on us to see if we needed more coffee or anything else even though the restaurant was packed. Definitely will be back.“
“The service at this place is exceptional, and the food is incredibly delicious! The hamburgers are particularly tasty and flavorful. Despite the busyness, all the staff greeted us warmly with smiles. A special shout out to Patricio, who provided us with excellent assistance!“
“Drinks are excellent, bartenders are usually great also—really talented at making cocktails. Good local beer choices. As a vegetarian I can’t speak to much of the food—fries are great, but the veg burger is very dense and not my favorite. I love coming here for a few drinks and apps. Dog friendly too!“
“We had an excellent easter on this restaurant with a wonderfull food and a excellent atmosphere watching tv for phillies games.The price worth it for the porky ribs and the shrimp plates.If you are looking for a good place near livingston, you must visit!“
“Love it! So close to home, not too pricy and the food is great! I love that they cut their salad into tiny bite sized pieces and the meat as well is cut tiny which I love! They give decent portion sizes also! Will definitely be ordering again ! Service is quick and the little lady upfront makes sure everything is in the bag before giving it to u! Love it“
“SO GOOD AND DELICIOUS ? I’m so glad to have met fellow Montclair State University alum Andrew Barley who told me about his restaurant. I said I would come try it out and I’m not the least bit disappointed and neither will you be anything but fully satisfied. I can’t wait to come back and try more things on the menu which means I will be back A WHOLE LOT! Whether you are vegan/vegetarian or just love good food look no further for THE BEST Caribbean and flavorful dishes in Essex County, New Jersey?️??—————Sidebar?Be prepared for possible parking delays depending on what day/time you decide to come✅And so nice to have met Tessa and Mama Barley???“
“Very good food for a great price! The ice latte (not pictured) was incredible to the point that we'd stop by just to grab some coffee to go! The ambiance was super friendly and clean!! Our waitress was also very sweet! Definitely coming back“
“WOW! WOW!WOW! I came here with my nephew and my bro and we were not disappointed at all. Everything we ordered was amazing. My cheeseburger was served on a red colored bum they make in house, the burger was cooked perfectly and the toppings sauteed onion rings lettuce tomato and cheese were all primo!!!I'll be back soon for round 2!Vegetarian options: Falafel burger for the non carnivorousParking: Easy and closeKid-friendliness: Yes“
“Got a sando combo. Fries were perfect and the sandwich shocked me... it easily has enough chicken on it for two sandwiches compared to other places. Went medium on the heat and for me it was a good choice for the first time trying the place out. Just enough heat and still able to taste the sandwich which was delicious. My only gripe would be there isn't one in my town.“
“Be prepared to wait for a few minutes, but trust that your time won't be wasted. The food is AMAZING! They do shawarma right. Everything is made fresh to order which explains the wait, and their prices are reasonable for the quality of food you get. Would love to go back given the chance.“
“Today we visited this place and I really loved the taste of the freshly baked pizza that we ordered, it has free parking and delivery, the atmosphere is pleasant, they have photos of old New Jersey that you may like, the bathrooms are very clean and in general the The service was good, the price is really great, we ordered boom boom pizza ??“
“I've always loved Fuddrucker's burgers but the location nearest to me closed and I come to this one every once in a while. Food is consistent but atmosphere is mediocre.Dietary restrictions: Wish there were more keto/gluten free options other than a burger without the bun.“
“Me and my NJ Transit crew stopped here to eat while on a work assignment and we were greeted by the owner I was very pleased with how excited she was to give us an experience and that she did! It was about 12 of us and she introduced the entire menu to all of us and gave us time to choose and even offered samples our food was ready in less in then 30 min for all 12 of us and the food was amazing!!! Shot out to darlene black owned business going above and beyond don’t hesitate to check out this spot if your ever in the area.“
“First time eating here and l am suitably impressed! I had the standard burger with caramelized onions!! I can confirm that there was nothing standard about that burger! It was delicious, moist and hit the spot!I also had an order of Poutine. It was delicious! Loved the addition of the scallions!Keep up the great Burgers! ?“
“We came into the Barn and were thrilled with our service AND our meal AND DRINKS!!!!!!We met the owner when he first arrived at the BARN…..very nice man…..Last night we met the rest of the family with GREAT DELIGHT!!!!!!! Hope they get to read this as THEY WERE WONDERFUL….and the BARTENDER TOO!!!!!!Thank youCathy with a “C”Parking: The waitress told me about the new parking feature with all the tables & umbrellas….told me about Valet parking too!!!!!!!!“
“Amazing guest service. Delicious, hot food cooked to order. Clean store. Great experience overall. Jeffrey runs the store very well. Would definitely be back if ever in the area again. We had the chicken fingers, fries, backyard bacon ranch burger and of course a blizzard! “
“Located at an intersection between Goffle Road and Wagaraw Road, forming a triangle, my partner and I had lunch at the Hawthorne Diner as first-timers. Upon entering, the interior was small and simple, but it had plenty of booths as well as a bar and was clean. There were a few tables in the back where we sat promptly. Their menu had everything one wanted or needed at a typical Jersey diner. There were plenty of breakfast choices, as well as wraps, sandwiches, and dinner options. We decided on something light and went for the broccoli cheddar potato skins and 1/2 tuna fish sandwich combo with salad. Good food is served in a timely fashion and at a decent price. Our server was friendly and attentive. We can recommend this place.“

“After a long overnight shift at the hospital I stopped in the nearest breakfast spot on google. I like to support small owned businesses because usually you receive good quality service and that’s what I encountered when coming in this morning. I had the bacon egg and cheese on a roll and a coffee. The sandwich was delicious, and the coffee was just that. Coffee. If you’re in a rush first thing in the morning be sure to give yourself time because they take they’re time to prep the food but in a good way overall I was satisfied and will be back again.“
“Really really good pizza. It’s all done in the same shell. Plain and grandma were both stellar. The buffalo chicken slice was the standout in my opinion. Reasonable pricing too! Can’t wait to come back and try the deli side or their chicken parm. The thinly pounded cutlets looked incredible too.“
“My husband n I, both LOVE this place. We go there for our breakfast on every other weekend. The people that work there are beautiful souls, outgoing n down to earth. The music they play its from the BEST ERA U WOULD WANT TO LIVE 70'S, 80'S, 90'S... LOVE IT HERE!“
Barbecue • $
“I've found several decent BBQ places closer to me in Rockland and Bergen, but Smoke Shack is on another level. Get the brisket and ribs with sauce on the side, taste them straight up, and recognize what you're dealing with here: some of the best BBQ in the area -- unquestionably the best I've encountered -- and if it seems too far, let me assure you, it's worth the trip. Just got back from a repeat visit.Vegetarian options: Their Beyond Burger is "almost as good as yours", according to my suddenly very polite wife.“
“The manager and the staff were super accommodating to our party who came last minute without a reservation. The entire place was extremely nice, and the whole experience was super affordable as well. We stayed there as long as our party needed, and everyone was so kind and hospitable.Parking: There is a parking lot that is on the block around the corner however, you just have to search for it because they sure a lot with another facility“
“Best Kielbasa around but only on Thursday. Other than that, Bar pizza very good and try the chicken wings . Burgers are excellent all around a great place great food.Parking: No problem parking, lot is behind the restaurant and on each side.“
“Arrived an hour before closing and the kitchen was still open and staff was very accommodating. Ordered La Suiza, champiñones, and pollo but with the vegetarian toppings. Burgers were delicious, great flavor, large portions. Fries were a little bland but they also offer Mayo , hot sauce and ketchup, the ambiance is fun , very lively setting with games to play . Great rock music! Really enjoyed it .“
“We found this place to have a fantastic breakfast, the decoration is very attractive, it has machines that you can use while waiting for your food or if you go with children.We had breakfast here and everything we ordered was great, the service was great.The price is acceptable.We recommend you stop by this place and try their delicious breakfasts.“
“The milkshakes are thick and tasty. The wait for the food wasn't long everything was made to order hot and fresh. The food was good and tasty. The chicken stack has so much flavor and the sauce that comes on it makes it better. The burgers were also good and neatly made. The bathroom was clean and in the back. Plenty of room for seating. Seperate area for pick up and delivery orders.Vegetarian options: Mushroom and veggie pattiesParking: Plenty of parking spaceKid-friendliness: Hot dogs fries chicken optionsWheelchair accessibility: Parking in front“
“Awesome Burgers. Probably the best in the area.Only complaint is price is a little steep. Price of a sit down restaurant ($25 per person for a burger and fries).But overall amazing quality food.Minimal sitting area inside. Pretty much a to go spot.“
“This is one of those spots you won't forget about. Everything was absolutely amazing. Got the double classic burger (big burger) fries and vanilla milkshake for under $17 that's including a $3 tip. Food was really good and the atmosphere was cozy but the price was incredible. I'll definitely be back and I'll tell others about this burger joint.“
“My partner and I came her for a spontaneous dinner! We both order double char burger. The burger was juicy and well made. The flavor was rich and didn’t have any complains. The fries were okay nothing crazy. Unlimited drinks were nice. Overall I’d come back again.“
“JERSEYYY JOHNNY’S!I tried place on my way home, the food was good, definitely had interesting menu options. The hot dogs on the inside seemed a tad on the cooler side but it was still really good after heating up for like 30seconds in the microwave.Customer Service was good and friendly.I would definitely return!“
“Very good food, and a unique menu. For example, we had the lobster Mac and Cheese, a combination I had never heard of before. They actually paired very well, especially with Vibe's original cheese blend. It is not your typical burger and beer place, it really is a cut above. It is also kid friendly, with many games like skee ball on site. They also have a large room in the back for parties.“
“Great little eatery. My wife and I shared the ultimate nachos which was a generous portion for the price. I had the western omelet which was also quite a lot of food and tasted delicious. My wife had the cheese steak sandwich which she enjoyed .“
“Love this place. One of my go to spots for sure. Drinks are great and the steak quesadillas are to die for. Service depends on who the waiter/waitress is. Some are phenomenal some are horrible. I was there tonight and didn't get asked if me or my girlfriend wanted another drink once. But even with that I still give this place 5 stars.“

“My sister and I went to this location for lunch and while the food is good, the chairs are absolutely HORRIBLE if you’re dining in.We had ordered our food on an iPad, took a number and sat at a table. The food took about 10 minutes and a “server” took it to our table. About 15 minutes later she actually came back to check in and ask how everything was which was surprising but really a nice touch.The cheese fries are so good and were crispy. The single burger was a bit salty but honestly very flavorful and the lettuce and tomato were fresh. My sister said her cookies and cream shake was really good too - overall our meal was good but expensive, $40 for 2 cheese fries, 2 single burgers, a coke, and a milkshake.My only complaint was the chairs - absolutely horrendous. Prepare for your back to hurt (just look at the angle of the seat, who designed those?) it’s almost like they were designed so you eat quick and get out.Parking: Plenty of parking around the building and handicap parking off to the side“
“Appetizers were good. Pork was very good. Salmon was excellent. Kind of noisy atmosphere, and more casual than we expected especially for the price point and for a Saturday night. The hostess was not warm at all, no good evening, no introduction just "what is your name" and took us to the table. Our waitress was excellent, very nice and patient.“
“Great place, staff is friendly. Ordered my daughter's birthday cake here, the man taking the order was very patient with my daughter and her very exact wishes for her cake, lol. He listened, got the image she wanted and the cake turned out perfect. She was thrilled.“
“My sister, best friend, and I met up here for a late breakfast. There was a small wait, less than 10 minutes, food was good, exactly what you'd expect to get from IHOP, the server was very nice. He allowed us to sit and talk for as long as we wanted without being pushy to turn the table over. We would definitely come back.“
“The dinner is a very quaint retro look on the outside and cozy in the inside. The staff are helpful but not super attentive. The food choices are many and presented well. But some of the flavor profiles where not up the the standard I was expecting from such a price point.“
“One of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. The flavor is incredible and there is literally 0 grease. Same with the fries. CJ's/Pete's Meats' food is the type of food where you savor every last morsel and actually feel good physically after eating it. I've also had their chicken pita which comes with their homemade potato chips. The chicken is absolutely delicious and the chips were mind blowingly good.I will definitely take my friends here in the future.“
“10/10 would recommend if you're running low on laxatives!Every time either myself or my husband eats here, we spend the next 24 hours in and out of the bathroom. I've displaced water with the nearly all-liquid poo that has been expelled from my body. I'm quite impressed about what was cleared out of my body after just one McDouble or McChicken. Better than Exlax or Imodium!And for the record, I know it was from the food here, it was the only thing I had put in my body that day.“
