“I was impressed by the bagels! Had a mix of sweet and savory bagels. The bagels were fluffy and seemed very fresh. I'd come back again for the bagels.

Not only did she provide excellent recommendations, but she also ensured that our dining experience was seamless from start to finish.

Coupled with the delicious food and inviting ambiance, dining at 22 West with Server Anne was truly a delightful experience that I would highly recommend to others.“

“One of the greatest cheesesteaks in New Jersey. Chiefs steak shop delivers an amazing experience. The team is friendly, thoughtful, and professional. If you call in they answer the phone with a positive attitude. Chiefs has a fantastic product and uses high quality ingredients. You can taste the difference. Don’t stress if you have to stop for a quick bite to eat on your lunch, they deliver your food fast! The entire family is amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chiefs Steak Shop in Middlesex to anybody!“

“Because of the delay in work, I had to break my fast at a restaurant. I was craving burger and Chaska showed up on maps.This place amazed me with juicy burgers and good portion fries. They even had dates and Rooh Afza drink to help break the fast.This place deserves more than a 5 star review!!!Dietary restrictions: Sells Halal food!“

“Was looking for a good burger and I found it. Best burger around hands down. I had the bleu's brutha burger and fell in love. The French fries and onion rings were crispy and delicious also. The general manager, Kyle couldn't have been sweeter or more attentive. He definitely has found his niche with his open and warm personality. I highly recommend this burger bar. Ps. If you like peanut butter, do yourself a favor and try the nutter udder shake made with peanut butter whiskey. AMAZING!“

“SMASHVILLE's smash fries are an absolute game-changer! The combination of perfectly cooked spicy beef patties, crispy fries, melted cheese, and savory onions is simply irresistible. Each bite is bursting with flavor and texture, creating a mouthwatering experience unlike any other. If you haven't tried their smash fries yet, you're definitely missing out on a culinary delight that's worth every bite!Parking: No parking available there usually“

“As soon as you walk in, you are struck by (a) how clean this place is, and (b) the fun 50's decor. Love the photos and other memorabilia of Elvis, Lucy, the Rat Pack, and other icons of the 1950's and 60's. The overhead TV plays 50's shows like The Andy Griffith Show. It's a fun place (see photo).The food is very good. I opted for my go-to breakfast sandwich --- egg whites, Swiss cheese, and turkey bacon on a toasted bagel (photo). It compared favorably with most of the bagel shops in the Princeton area. A side of fruit was fresh and tasty. Our server, Sue, was friendly and helpful but not intrusive --- a real pro!The sign outside of the building says "Monmouth Junction Kitchen," but it is definitely a diner. Try it -- you will be very happy you did.“

“We went there for lunch. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The menu is extensive. The soup was fantastic! The entrées were ample and packed with flavor. Service was prompt and attentive. Overall a very pleasant experience. We definitely will be returning.“

“The OG hot chicken sandwich spot!!! My family and I can't live without Namkeen. Everytime we go, the service is amazing!! They are all such kind people and take such great care of their customers. The waffle sandwich hits EVERY time! The portions are huge and I HIGHLY recommend trying them. So glad they are in central Jersey now :)“

“Ordered food for a family party and EVERYONE at the party loved the food. They delivered the food to our home and couldn’t have been nicer. I had never even eaten there before and decided to support a local business and I’m so glad that I did. The food was absolutely amazing and everything was fresh. HIGHLY “

“Zinna's Bistro is well-nigh perfect: the setting on a waterfront; indoor and outdoor seating equally charming; food that is always prepared carefully and to order; service staff that is amazing in friendliness without ever being intrusive. There are few restaurants around so enjoyable.“

“Went on a Sunday afternoon to watch some NFL Playoff football. Bartenders were fast/friendly, drinks were cold/served perfect, and food was good. There are TV's everywhere, so there really isn't a bad seat. Great atmosphere, friendly crowd, with a sports bar look and feel. Plenty of parking and bathrooms are spotless. When in town again, we will definitely stop in.“

“This has to be one of the best breakfast spots I have been to. The food was so delicious! The waitress was friendly and patient. Beautiful place! Cannot wait to go back with other family members.Would have taken a picture of the food but I ate it all before thinking of taking a picture. Look how cute the cups are!“

“I ordered lunch from Dootsie's today (via UberEats) and I'm STILL FULL! The food was amazing, full of flavor and tasted like it was made with care. The baked chicken was SOOO GOOD, collards & cabbage well cooked! And I don't know what is in the Mac and cheese but I could probably eat a whole tray of it in one sitting. ?“

“the servers here are an actual beam of light in this dark and cold world. i've never had servers more kind, helpful, and enthusiastic at any other diner. you may think i'm exaggerating - but go see for yourself.additionally, the food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the environment is very homey. i'm definitely going to make this a regular spot whenever i pass by.“

“First time visitors, happen to drive by and decided to try. Pretty good service. We don't eat meat so we ordered Mediterranean Panini with vegetables. It was made quite well. And the service was pretty good.. I would ask for couple more options for Vegetarians :)Vegetarian options: There were a few choices, for sure.Parking: Small parking in the side but we didn't have any issues“

“Customer for years. Friendly service, quick pick up time, and literally the best pizza within 10 miles.Actual pizza with a fantastic sauce. LARGE slices if you come in for a quick slice and quick service if you're pressed for time. Not overpriced like many places in the area.Dinners are a good deal and the chicken parm never disappoints.“

“Super good! Me and my siblings went during the night a few weeks back when it was really nice out and the place was packed!!! The workers were super attentive and very apologetic about the wait time (which we understood since it was INSANE) the ice cream was absolutely delicious. I got the baileys flavor and was blown away by it! I will be coming back as much as my bank account and doctor will allow ? I highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to have great service and amazing ice cream.“

“Nice place. Very friendly and accommodating staff. It is not as “fancy” as many of the reviews make it appear. We made a stop by here with the whole fam. Although there is no kids menu it was casual enough for them and there were plenty of options for them.Kid-friendliness: No kids menu but plenty of options for them.“

“Breakfast hours are to die for! I had the disk with three pancakes( A+++ for theos beauties), potatoes cubes ( Extremely crispy as I love it) and fluffy scrambled eggs (?). The waitress Paula is a sweetheart. Her warm gentle energy made my stressful Friday morning calm. The later by the front even complimented my hair the moment I left. Mind u everyone does speak Spanish and the folks who don't speak any they are treated equally. I love the warm happy vibe they gave me my mom and sis. I swear EVERYONE must dine at Perkins!!!!“

“I have to say. They have fantastic food here and the French onion is one of the best French onion soups I’ve ever had!! The staff and owners are super friendly. My favorite is the cheesecake. I’ve been everywhere and it even tops NYC cheesecake. They also have fantastic chocolate covered strawberries and chocolates.“

“Exceptional service and amazing food. Stopped here on our way back from a concert the next morning and the food was beyond amazing. It is a small location with limited seating but we sat outside in the sun in the outdoor seating which made it even better. We definitely will be coming back again when we're in the area.“

“Food & service is always top of the line every time I go. Sometimes I get there 10 mins before closing but the cooks are nice enough & still willing to take my order. The girls are a great vibe and create conversation with you while they make the food from scratch & still comes out a chefs kiss. You can tell they make their food with a lot of love & passion by the way it’s served & the taste you get from the first bite. If I could rate this business out of 10 stars, I’d give it 11: best of the best in the Tri-State“

“We order here from time to time, specifically cheesesteaks. Tonight was the first time in a while. Our delivery was made by the owner who personally thanked us for our business and stated he is now managing the business himself and is hands on. I can totally get behind a business owner who puts an emphasis on customer service, and one who can admit shortcomings in an effort to turn it around. I respect this. To anyone reading this review I recommend trying Planet Wings, and if you've tried them in the past and were disappointed give them another chance.“

“April 2023I was actually temporarily miss placed when starvation hit and we stopped here.What a quaint place, definitely family oriented.Our server was on his game, he was kind enough to give us ideas of things to do. For our next visit.Portion size could have been a bit bigger.Parking was good, handicapped friendly, child friendly.Give this place a whirl !Kid-friendliness: Yes, they have highchairsWheelchair accessibility: Everythingvis in ground level.“

“I recently attended an event here where we primarily stayed outside on the patio. The food served was great and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. The outside bar served our needs and we had a great time. The only issue is there is not enough parking but you can park next door in the corporate plaza with no issues. Thanks.“

“Love the food choices here, they are healthy, unique and very flavorful. We shared 2 things from the Happy Hour Bites Menu: 1. Street Tacos and 2. Not Your Mama's Meatloaf Sliders plus a Sourdough Margherita Pizza. All very yummy!! We followed with a Blueberry Crumble Sundae which was a great choice!!“

“First, let me get the negatives out of the way because this was a very enjoyable brunch. $15 for valet parking seems a bit unreasonable with the prices here and compared with other restaurants that have valet service, the waiter service was adequate but somewhat stiff and cool. Having said that everything else was absolutely wonderful, very nice, eclectic and well put together brunch menu, bacon beighnets appetizer hit the mark, eggs Benedict with lobster and truffles was decadent and delicious, duck Bahn Mi with handcut chips was perfectly put together and the French Toast was nicely plated. Beautifull atmosphere, nice location, very relaxing brunch.“

“I love this place! Good quality food, nice employees + all employees are on top of their service. Fun place to eat and enjoy drinks. All employees are welcoming, especially Ashley. She's fun and friendly. No complaints whatsoever of this place, highly recommend for anyone looking for quick service, quality food, and a good time. 5 stars!“

“Good food here, most diners have good food and reasonable prices . Breakfast is really good here and burgers i love getting them from here cause they're fat and tasty.Parking: Plenty of parking across the street, it's a small street.“

“First time at Clyz since new ownership. Was a St. Patty's Day work celebration so no ordering from regular menu but rather a buffet setup with about 7 different dishes. Food was good. Service was great from waitress coming around for drink orders. They had orange whiskey for my fav orange whiskey mule! I and the coworkers I spoke to would have preferred not having the lights dimmed as it was way too dark and there was no need for such "mood" lighting.“

“The food is every bit as good as you've come to expect from Nathan"s. What makes this place stand out is the people running it. I placed an online order and couldn't get out to pick it up. They called me, delivered it, didn't charge me anything extra and didn't even want to take the gratuity for their effort. Great people. Customer for life!“

“Perfect little diner-- probably one of the best kept secrets of its town.Try the homemade bread pudding! I had that because they were out of the Flan (betcha it's fantastic).Colorado Omelet was delicious.Service was swift and friendly!“

“I'm not writing this in favor of a friend.. but I really loved this place.. very pleased with service . Food at its best.. I loved the drinks, though.. good to enjoy your drink outdoors when the weather is supports. Fun to hang aroudn with friends.“

“33's Tavern has slammin’ tacos and great wings! I’ve had the fish tacos multiple times before and they never disappoint. Today was the first time we got wings and they were big and juicy! My husband got the steak tacos and they were also scrumptious! They are located right on Old Bridge Turnpike! (There is one wing missing that was consumed before I thought about sharing this gem!) 33’s is a bar, but you can totally go in and eat and/or grab takeout! Prices are extremely reasonable for what you get! ??“

“"I visited this place today and the food was fantastic. the chef prepared everything with care and the service was excellent. The food was freshly made and had a lovely touch of charm to it. I am thoroughly impressed with this place and I will be back. I highly recommend it to everyone."?“

“What a gem of a place in the Plainsboro area (which doesn’t have many bars to begin with). Good food, great prices, amazing service, clean. No super loud music means you can actually talk with the people at your table. Great place to chill out after a long day or work.“

“From soup to dessert there’s no place better than Teddy’s! Everyone that works there makes it feel like home! Absolutely nothing I wouldn’t recommend. From breakfast to dinner, it’s all delicious! Teddy’s is our go to place to eat ?“

“Nice deli and grill in middlesex, easy to find with plenty of parking. Menu is huge and the staff was very friendly, the specials were very well priced. Counter and table service available. I went with the super Italian which was delicious and good size for the price. Will definitely be back to try more“

“Masa restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with their top-notch food quality. From the moment you take your first bite, you can taste the commitment to freshness and flavor. Each dish is a culinary masterpiece, prepared with precision and care. The diverse menu offers a wide range of options, ensuring there's something for every palate. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Shalimar's food quality will leave you coming back for more.“

“Perhaps i ordered the wrong main entree. The appetizers were good we got wings and the pretzels 6/10. i got chicken and waffle for my main and i have to say it was the blandest chicken ive ever had. No flavor in the chicken or the coat. Bland waffle. Most of the seasonings were on the egg and they didnt even ask me how i want that cooked because i definitely wouldve said sunnyside up…. They gave me over hard 1/10. Being unhappy with my choice i tried some of my friends’ pizzas and they were decent if you like soft crust (no crunch)7/10 in my opinion. Pistachio ricotta cake was dessert and it was good 9/10.“

“It is not your regular bar just to get yourself a glass of beer, it is a place to enjoy friends, hear music, and try and forget the words of the day. Very crowded but not shoulder to shoulder. Just close together. It is the perfect place to celebrate St. Patty's Day or any holiday with a group of friends or strangers that are about to become friends.“

“Stopped in on St. Patrick's Day for some traditional food for takeout. Generous portion of corned beef and wedge of cabbage with boiled potatoes and steamed carrots. All perfectly done and delicious. Will go back soon for a beer and to try the fish & chips.“

“This place is amazing! Stumbled upon it while looking for a place for a friend and I to eat and we walked into here during a bingo night. Crowd is kind and the place was full of laughter and smiles. Food was great - looking forward to try other things here too. Highly recommended!“

“As a Texan I'm always skeptical about going to steakhouses because no one does steaks like we do. But this place actually took me by surprise. The food was excellent. Could've used more black pepper but not a big thing. Jack and Coke was nicely made. The T-Bone steak was nicely seared with perfect diamonds. The meat was nice and juicy. I couldn't had done it better myself. I definitely recommend this place if you're ever out here. This restaurant is Texas approved.“

“The Golden Corner Diner in Bound Brook is a solid choice for a classic diner experience. The food is fresh and delicious, exactly what you crave from a diner. Everything from juicy burgers to fluffy omelets seems to be made with quality ingredients.The staff at Golden Corner gets a thumbs up too. They're attentive and friendly, making sure your coffee cup stays full and your order is correct. They even shine when it comes to handling large groups. The diner can seat a surprising number of people, and the staff manages to keep things running smoothly even during a rush.Overall, while Golden Corner might not be the most innovative diner out there, it delivers exactly what it promises - delicious food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. For a reliable and enjoyable diner meal, Golden Corner is a solid four-star option.“

“Originally a blacksmith shop and inn before turning into a tavern with the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. I may have been thrown out of here, several times. This bar is proudly #14 on NJ.com's Best Dive Bars list. I really like this place, wish it was closer to home. We used to find it by the giant satellite dish they had outside. I once tried to kiss a girl who worked here. She was so horrified she ran into the street. "Nooo..." Good times. Recently renovated before Covid. Bar top is lacquered plywood with a knotty pine fascia and walls. No foot rail but the floor is burnished (scorched) plywood. Stools are metal frame backed with cushion seats. Open 11AM to 2AM. Package goods available. Allegedly, there's a prison style two seater bathroom, sans privacy screen. More local history at keenbug.blogspot.comEvidence of billiards and electronic darts. Unused fireplace and hearth. They should should throw the Mp3 juke in the fire. Outside pen for smokers & dining al fresco. I'm told they have better food. I've seen the new menu and it looks like standard bar fare with a few salads thrown in to confuse you. Still, I miss it so...keenbug.blogspot.com/202…“
