“Seafood pimps was the best decision I could had made to celebrate my 56th birthday. I decided to purchase the Nexf ix & Chill. First the presentation was SUPERB. The crabs, mussels and shrimp were FRESH and DELECTABLE. The vegetables were seasoned to perfection. least of them all the amount that you receive is enough to feed a full size family, and we only ordered for two. I will definitely be back. I recommend Seafood Pimps to anyone that enjoy fresh mouth watering seafood.”

“A friend of mine extolled the virtues of Shake Shack back in the day when they were in the park in NYC and had cameras set up so you could see how long the line was. Now there are bunches of them and they're all pretty good; some are just better than others. This one at EWR Terminal A is one of my favorite airport Shacks and I think does a better job than most. The atmosphere is very chill and they serve beer. Grab a window booth and watch the planes arrive at and push back from the gates.”

“The guy that works there is amazing, patient and nice! By far the only employee that actually make sure he’s getting the orders correct. He’s amazing!
The owner made my drink a month or so ago & gave me the wrong bubbles I asked for regular and she ended up giving me brown sugar and said can I come back the next day she will give me a free one lol long story short she wasn’t there the next day because I bring my daughter to this location and she was too lazy to fix my drink the day she messed it up. I get she was overwhelmed by working alone and having a lot of people ordering but she has to do better as an OWNER! I have a business myself and it’s a lot of things I do not do because you have to be professional.”

The service was impeccable. We let them order for us. Octopus starter, then onto hanger steak, roasted chicken, sea bass, and the pork stew. All incredible with deep rich flavors. We had some great sides, a light salad to finish, and a lovely passion fruit desert. I can't say enough about this place.”

“On Saturday May 28th I had a reservation for 15 people because it was my daughter sweet sixteenth birthday dinner. The atmosphere was great, the music was a little too LOUD especially for some young children in my party and we the adults and young people we couldn’t hear each other speaking and my suggestion is to have the music at a moderate tone so we can hear each other at the table and also to make sure the waitress/waiter get the food order correct . The food was a little too salty but everything was ok”

“When I arrived at LAX late at night, I was disappointed to find that all the food options were closed. Hungry and unsure of what to get, I stumbled upon a Farmer’s Fridge vending machine and decided to give it a try. I chose the chicken Caesar salad, not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the flavors were well-balanced, and it tasted far better than I anticipated. It was a convenient and satisfying option, and I’d definitely grab one again in a pinch!”

“I recently visited Yocateo and was genuinely impressed. The cozy, casual spot had a welcoming vibe, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I especially loved their spicy fish—it had a perfect kick and was seasoned just right. The fried wontons in chili oil were a standout—crispy, savory, and utterly addictive. Service was friendly and efficient, making the visit even more enjoyable. Yocateo is a hidden gem for anyone craving bold, hearty American‑style plates in Newark”

“A friend ordered a variety of wraps and some fried chicken for my family which was a wonderful surprise in itself. But to add to this the food was Amazing!!!

Give this local establishment a chance you won’t be disappointed.”

Definitely the best diner in the area, highly recommend”

“A friend and I just went for coffee very early the other day, when it was still quite dark out. We went through the drive thru, since it was so dark out. All went fine until we pulled up to pick up our coffee at the window. And there, standing just to the side of the pick-up window, is an obviously homeless man. Now, I don't have an issue with the homeless! Hell! I WAS one of them not all that long ago!Don't get me wrong, I have issues with HOMELESSNESS! The fact that we are still dealing with mass homelessness in this day in age is an issue for another day!But this man was standing in the shadows, and tbh, he looked terrifying! The lady working the window absolutely sees him. No question about that. Maybe she's afraid of angering him by asking him to move on? IDK, but, all I can say, is if I had not been with a friend just then, I 100% would have said forget the coffee and pulled off.Now, I don't do this too often...but my friend goes to get her coffee EVERY DAY... ALONE! And she went on to tell me this same man is there EVERY SINGLE DAY! She LOVES McCafe coffee! But, if this continues, she's going to be looking for a new place to get her morning jolt! And I can't blame her!This an easy fix Micky D's! ??♀️”

“Visited the area recently and stopped in here for lunch on a weekday… this “food court” type area in Gateway One had just a few eateries and this was one of them. This and the Fresh & Co next to it seemed to be the most popular at lunch time. You use a kiosk to order, which was quick and the wait for the food wasn’t too long. It came out freshy made and hot.
The fries were crispy and really tasty crinkle cut type fries. The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich I got was excellent! I got medium heat which wasn’t very spicy at all but packed with flavor. The chicken’s fried batter was gentle and very tasty, so I’m sure all their other sandwiches would be just as good.
I’d definitely return to grab more chicken here – Really good food!”

“This place is amazing! I have celiac disease and have a hard time finding safe places to eat. I had the gluten free chicken tender platter and chocolate chip cookies, which were both unbelievable. The wait staff was incredibly kind and attentive and explained that everything was prepared separately using a dedicated fryer. My gluten consuming family also loved their food. My husband said it was the best pastrami he’s ever had and my son had an “extra cheesy” grilled cheese. The owner visited our table and introduced himself. Cannot recommend this place enough!”

DELICIOUS. Further, it was super generous of the server to accommodate my request. My favorite was the oxtail though all dishes were delicious. If you're missing GOOOOD Caribbean food and want a variety - and not have to wait for food preparation - this is a must visit. Compliments to the chef. This will now be one of my go-to spots whenever I come to my Newark Office.”

I had the moro de gandules with beans and pernil, and the portion was so generous that one plate could easily feed two. My kids shared white rice and beans with beef stew (bistec), and they absolutely loved it.
Both women working there were super kind and welcoming—true hospitality vibes all around. 10/10 experience. I’ll definitely be coming back 😌. The prices are more than fair, especially considering how much food you get.”

The beef suya was also cooked to perfection. The plantains were ripe and tasty as well. & Can we talk about portions? You get a lot of food for the price. I shared half w/ my grandma and she enjoyed her food as well. Will definitely be returning in the future!”

The restaurant had great modern vibe with good music & decor. The service was on point and our food & drinks were really good! Portions were generous & prices were reasonable especially for an airport near New York. We ordered the calamari to share which was my husband's favorite. Then he ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich and I ordered the Mediterranean salad added falafel & house made blue cheese dressing & they also brought the vinaigrette which I am glad they did as it really made the dish. We enjoyed all of it! Would highly recommend this place!”

“Tuve la oportunidad de visitar este restaurante y debo decir que fue una experiencia excepcional de principio a fin. Desde el ambiente acogedor hasta la atención impecable del personal, todo contribuyó a una velada memorable. La calidad de la comida fue simplemente espectacular. Probé platos como el ceviche, sopa de gallina y las ricas pupusas de FQ y ambos estaban perfectamente sazonados, frescos y presentados con un toque artístico. Se nota el cuidado en la selección de ingredientes y el respeto por los sabores auténticos. El servicio fue atento y cordial, siempre dispuestos a recomendar opciones según nuestros gustos y a asegurarse de que todo estuviera a nuestro gusto. Recomiendo este lugar sin dudarlo, tanto para una salida casual como para una ocasión especial.

“Ate here with a group of co-workers (total of 8 people) after work on a Tuesday evening. It had a casual atmosphere. The food was excellent starting from the appetizers all the way down to the dessert! The calamari and the shrimp during the appetizer was on point. The sauce on the shrimp was great dipping for the bread. For the Entree the seafood pasta was fresh and a generous serving portion for 5-6 people alone in 1 serving. We also had the picadinho, which was my favorite- excellent... not too greasy! And had a good portion of salad with steak.

“Good service. Had Brussels sprouts as appetizer - very good. Limited main menu. Had the roasted chicken and fish & chips. Chicken dish was good. Fish was over cooked and had too much batter (thicker fish portions with lighter batter would be better). Very convenient location for attending NJPAC.”

“I'm surprised to see many negative reviews. We were laid over in Newark for a connecting flight on the way to Vietnam at the beginning of 2016. I walked around the airport, it seemed like everything was $20 and looked like garbage. My wife and I got a couple sandwiches for $10 each. The staff was friendly and hardworking, the sandwiches were absolutely stacked and amazing. I was happy we found something reasonably priced, delicious, and filling. We stopped in again during the return flight and had the same experience.”

“Burley is absolutely amazing!!!!! 1. The ambiance of her establishment is such a vibe from the decor to her choice in music. 2. The charcuterie plates provide were fresh and delish ( not to mention she inquired about possible food allergies and dietary needs) which was a plus as my girlfriend and I do not eat meat. 3 this is experience surpasses your typical wine tasting IT IS INFORMATIVE! Baby when I say I learned so much about wine I was so oblivious to lol. I will definitely recommend this place and will be returning as soon as I can ☺️ Burley keep doing your thing queen”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Stars N Elites Restaurant Lounge New Jersey, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant yet inviting, setting the tone for an incredible evening out with my family.
The menu offered a fantastic variety, and each dish we tried was nothing short of amazing! The flavors were spot-on, and you could tell a lot of thought and passion went into each recipe. Not only was the food superb, but the bar was also impressive?!
What really made the experience exceptional was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was warm, attentive, and seemed genuinely happy to make our visit memorable. The owner even came by our table to check on us and make sure we were enjoying everything – a wonderful personal touch that made us feel valued.
The location added to the overall vibe, making it a perfect spot. I can confidently say I can’t wait to return when we are visiting family again.”

“Food is good, I have been coming to this restaurant for years. I do however recommend that you ask for the price of drinks prior to ordering especially if it’s not during happy hour. Drinks are way too expensive. The pricese are not listed on the menu One glass of Sangria $19.50. I was caught of guard with that one , imagine my surprise when I received my bill seeing that sangria was $39 for two glasses. Had I known that I would have just drank water and bought my own sangria for less at the local liquor store or went to a different bar. Also; there are a few things on the menu with no prices listed. Just ask for the price before ordering . I feel that the prices for the food such as lamb chops and seafoods are fair, but the drinks. Nope; Sorry not sorry. $19.50 for one glass of sangria is out right ridiculous and unnecessary. Other than the overpriced drink; everything else is good.”

“Last night was the first time I went to the Priory but It will not be my last time. I really enjoyed the band ( Unfinished Bizzness ) and I enjoyed the music that was played when the band took a break. A very nice mature crowd having a good time together.... I can't speak about the food because I had dinner prior to going to the Priory, however the food smelled and looked good.....My first experience was a very pleasant experience.... Can't wait to go again!!!”

They loved the food they never had it before I live in South Amboy but I’m from Newark work in Matawan at the nursing home, and they never had the flu before they loved it. Good job, kings.”

“Seafood pimps was the best decision I could had made to celebrate my 56th birthday. I decided to purchase the Nexf ix & Chill. First the presentation was SUPERB. The crabs, mussels and shrimp were FRESH and DELECTABLE. The vegetables were seasoned to perfection. least of them all the amount that you receive is enough to feed a full size family, and we only ordered for two. I will definitely be back. I recommend Seafood Pimps to anyone that enjoy fresh mouth watering seafood.”

“Was walking by and saw A&J Caribbean Taste. I just had to go in and see what they had. It was like home! They had a wide range of food and I was so excited I asked for a sample of it all lol. DELICIOUS. Further, it was super generous of the server to accommodate my request. My favorite was the oxtail though all dishes were delicious. If you're missing GOOOOD Caribbean food and want a variety - and not have to wait for food preparation - this is a must visit. Compliments to the chef. This will now be one of my go-to spots whenever I come to my Newark Office.”

“A friend of mine extolled the virtues of Shake Shack back in the day when they were in the park in NYC and had cameras set up so you could see how long the line was. Now there are bunches of them and they're all pretty good; some are just better than others. This one at EWR Terminal A is one of my favorite airport Shacks and I think does a better job than most. The atmosphere is very chill and they serve beer. Grab a window booth and watch the planes arrive at and push back from the gates.”

“I found this place by accident on Google maps while looking at jersey mills mall. I decided to check this place out after shopping at the mall which is a few miles away. Restaurants is located in a trip mall which has free parking which is always a plus. From the outside place doesn't seem very big but that is deceiving because it's pretty big inside. There's plenty of seating very large selection of food, including fruits, vegetables and more. Staff is welcoming and your really get you money's worth. Food was great, they keep place clean and food always stocked. They even have a party room for special events. They also have a restrooms which is also clean and well maintained. I enjoyed my experience overall. If you're looking for a cool buffet and you're out with friends or family and you happen to be in the area this place will not disappoint.”

“For an airport restaurant, this was A-OK! Very nice fun atmosphere & is off the beaten track of Terminal A so was not crowded at all. Wine prices were exorbitant but they are all like that at EWR. $25.50 for a large pour of wine - what???? Anyway, I really enjoyed my buffalo wings & my husband had a salad w/chick peas & chicken - it was HUGE. Service was good. Would go back when in this terminal again.”
“Kawana and Natorie provided outstanding service and was very welcoming when entering the restaurant. Kawana made sure that my food was fresh. I would come here again.”
