“Amazing food and service ❤️”

“This is one of my favorite places to eat between classes. I especially love getting the bae bowl and it's always so fresh, and the salsa and sauce is so good! It always lasts me two full meals because the portion size is really generous. Everyone there is also so nice and welcoming so I love coming here and will definitely be back.”

“I travel 20 minutes on each direction because their food is exceptional. I probably pass a dozen Chinese restaurants i could stop at but I love the food and service so much.”

“We got the Bratwurst at the New Brunswick Oktoberfest. Best I ever had and I've been going to them all over the tristate area for 25 years.”

“The manager goes above and beyond. The food is on point whether eating there or using DoorDash. Excellent food, service and cocktails”

“Absolutely the best Ice Cream. Loved it!”

“Wonderful experience dining here. Delicious chicken combo for 2 - chicken chops especially good!, varied dips with pita, large servings. It was all great. Service and atmosphere were super too. Will definitely be back, highly recommend.”

“We needed something like this in our area !”

“I enjoyed spendinding a few hour here on Sunday morning sipping espresso and using complimentary wifi. I was looking for a place like this near Rutgers university. Other options did not have free parking, so this was an easy choice, which I don't regret!”

“Here is a place that clearly knows cheesesteak subs and flavor. The customer service is very laid back and easy going. If you are on the fence on what you want just pick anything and be amazed by the outcome. Will be back.”

“We got the combination platter for two. More than enough food. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly.”

“Tremendous Italian dining experience, get a table in the basement as it is more quiet and more private.. Pasta was delicious, the wine recommended by the waiter, a bearded friendly Spanish guy was great as was the Tirasmsu which was out of this world. Ate there twice and it was the best dining experience in New Brunswick.”

“Highly recommend. Thank you to the staff for great service and great food. We will be back!”

“Every year we take a trip or two to come to this restaurant from Rochester NY ! One year we brought friends of 12 people and went to make reservations and they were full ! Once I told them who we were and we come every year they went above and beyond and got us a private table in the back by the street and accommodated all of us no problem ! Everyone loved it there AND one of their waiters is from where we are in NY it was great to have conversations with him ! Can’t wait to go back again . The mixed drinks as in the mojitos are my favorite! The oil for dipping is perfect !”

“Fun atmosphere and had the best "new" waitress, Lila!!”

“Owner and employees are very friendly and that makes for a great place to eat and relax”

“Just had my Aunt’s 80th birthday celebration at SLS and the experience could not have been better. From the planning with Judy to the day of party execution with Jane. Even the owner Mark stopped by to check in. The room was warm, the service was impeccable and the food was excellent for all 40 guests - which is no small feat. We highly recommend Stage Left and their sister restaurant Lombardi’s. A great place to make some life long memories.”

“The food is really good. I got the Bao buns and the pork was really juicy and tender, and the peanuts added a nice crunch to it. Would totally come back! As a student, the pricing is really affordable as well.”

“Great ambience with even better food. The server was really good he made us felt welcome and also suggested what we should order. Lamb Adana kababs were very authentic and really tasty I will suggest it as a must have if you like Mediterranean food. Also ordered Tas kabab, it was really good, the meat was really tender and gravy complimented the rice it was served with.”

“We went there for the first time tonight. The staff was very courteous. The atmosphere was beautiful. The food was absolutely fantastic as we had their sampler. Didn’t feel rushed. The cappuccino and mousse topped off a truly wonderful experience. We will be back again and again…. and again. ❤️🇪🇹❤️”

“Authentic asian cuisine. Everything from signature Burritos to Japanese Ramen this place doesn't disappoint. Sushi was fresh and rolled tight, The miso soups are on point. Milk and fruit tea available. Staff is friendly and service was quick.”

“Always an amazing experience. I live in JC and I don’t mind driving 38minutes down to NB just so that I can be here. Keep up the good work.👍”

“Posted up in the center of the pub. Me and these two mad lads started drilling. Ice was about 4 inches and ol' Stout was struggling to breach through the ice. After a few minutes of turmoil he was finally able to break and we heard the glorious rush of the water gushing like a foutian out of the portal to the dark unknown. We stood there conquistadors above a murky gold; fish. We set our thrones upon the ice and readied our rods. Our mouths watering at the thought of the first fish. With bait and hand a glee in our hearts we awaited the first bite. But folks, as everyone knows, fishing isn't about the catch nor the side of the fish. But it's the spot and the friends we make along the way. We caught no fish, not even ol' Stout. But we had a splendid time, and like the conquistadors of old we left with nothing. Oh yea and there's uhh ... darts in the back or something.”

“If you’re looking for a go-to spot for takeout in New Brunswick, this is it. Their Pizza City Wrap is a must-try as well the wings. And don’t skip the curly cheese fries; perfectly crispy and cheesy. Staff is always friendly. Recommend for sure!”

“Muy. Rico 😋 la. Comida. Muy. CAsera”

“Delicious Rakkii Ramen Resturant Staff is great and excellent customer service”

“ME ENCANTA QUE ME ATIENDA RITA…LA MEJOR EMPLEADA...”

“Stopped into McDonald’s and the experience was solid from the moment I walked in. The staff moved with purpose, kept the line flowing, and stayed polite even with a steady crowd. My order came out fast, accurate, and hot — fries were crisp, sandwich was put together cleanly, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy.

The dining area was tidy, tables wiped down, and the overall vibe felt organized instead of chaotic. It’s the kind of location you can rely on when you just need something quick, warm, and consistent. I left satisfied and would definitely return.”

Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless. Thank you, El Jefe’s, for helping make our staff feel so appreciated. Your support of our school community does not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend them for both their amazing food and outstanding service!”

“This is a very small place to eat and I usually order to pick up. What I can say is the food it’s authentic Mexican , so tasty and delicious , I’m not a big fan of spicy foods but this place use enough condiments on their meats , they use jalapeños but if you don’t want them, request not to put them on your food…overall food it’s delicious highly recommend”

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10”

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨”

“Absolutely stunning experience! Arden was so friendly and helpful right off the bat - they had a ton of recommendations, so it was easy to work through my options. After I ordered, I made my way to the eating area, which was bright, airy and clean. Service was very fast and I had my (absolutely delicious) latte in just a couple minutes.

The cake prices are actually super reasonable for what you get as well. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’ve got to come here. I wish I lived closer, because I would come here much more often! They do offer savory bites as well, which I’ll try next time 😋”

“I don’t typically leave reviews, but this place is great. I am in town for business and have heard a lot about “New Jersey bagels”. Not only did I receive a fantastic bacon egg & cheese but the gentleman behind the counter separates this place from others. He could tell I was in a bit of a rush and was conscious of my time while still delivering the quality that people talk about. I highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back.”

“La comida deliciosa 👌 era cliente frecuente de este lugar pero el pésimo servicio de atención al cliente por parte una mesera eh decidido no volver. ( Me atendió de muy mala gana y yo amablemente le pedí algo a lo que ella respondió indirectamente de manera grosera).”

“Great my favorite place to get the Boba tea”

“Great Chinese food spot, nothing fancy just great food”

“The Vine is an excellent establishment. It’s always a lot of fun as well. The service is fast and professional. The alcohol is good and reasonably priced and the food is even affordable and good too. It’s still a new establishment but Anderson the proprietor and his wife Alyssa have done a first rate job. Anderson and Alyssa have hired very professional and talented personnel. They also have put together a great all around experience. The establishment even has some regulars at this point which, frankly are hard to come by in the bar business. Lastly, the place is safe, well located and there is parking. In closing, in a business i.e. the bar business where management is everything The Vine is really first rate.”

“My favorite pizza place in New Brunswick. The vegan menu is incredibly extensive and delicious! The owner is so sweet, generous, and helpful. He's always willing to explain a menu item, chat with you ("where's the show tonight?") and make sure your experience is enjoyable. I can't say enough great things about Tata's.”

Wheelchair accessibility: As it does not have steps, it is an excellent option for people who use wheelchairs since access is very easy and the staff is very friendly.”

“Delicious and authentic food. My favorite is the pastor tostadas or penne vodka.”

“Delicious Mexican pastries! Everything was freshly made. I enjoyed a breakfast taco (egg, ham & quesillo) on a homemade corn tortilla.. OMG.. it doesn't get any better. There's very little space to dine in so best bet is take out.”

“They helped me find the bathroom. And they have a phone number! I just love this place.

“ Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those nights when you've got no lights
The check is in the mail
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail
And your third fiance didn't show
Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see (ah-ah)
Our troubles are all the same (ah-ah)
You wanna be where everybody knows your name
Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead
The morning's looking bright (the morning's looking bright)
And your shrink ran off to Europe
And didn't even write
And your husband wants to be a girl
Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna go where people know
People are all the same
You wanna go where everybody knows your name
Where everybody knows your name (where everybody knows your name)
And they're always glad you came
Where everybody knows your name (where everybody knows your name)
And they're always glad you came
Where everybody knows your name (where everybody knows your name)
And they're always glad you came
Where everybody knows your name (where everybody knows your name)””
