“My sister ordered a birthday cake. She would do it again. Friendly staff. The cake was made as requested. My niece loved it. It was a layer of vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate crunchies, topped with a yummy chocolate syrup or hot fudge, topped with chocolate ice cream and a delicious frosting. It was sooo good. Thank you!”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Daily Planet and was fortunate enough to encounter Ivy the bartender! Despite the bar being busy, Ivy was attentive, friendly, and seemed to be generally interested in engaging with patrons. She interacted with everyone at the bar and made sure that they had everything they needed. As someone who worked in service for years, you experience all types of personalities good and bad. It’s refreshing to see someone behind the bar who enjoys what they do. I would come back just for the positive atmosphere that the Daily Planet has while Ivy is bartending!”

“Let's rally around the Paradise Restaurant! Remember Tuscany? Several former staff are there, and a fantastic new chef! They're planning on expanding the bar into the large dining room! Great atmosphere, staff, and food! We had the eggplant parm and chicken franchaise and it was top notch! Calamari was tender and crispy! Beer and wine selection was very good as well!”

“Wow , I purchased the pepperoni Sicilian, love the baby pepperoni rings , they were like little soup cups that held just the right amount of juice , they crushed this it was awesome!! ”

“Always good quality food and service! I go there weekly and have never been disappointed.This last time I went to order my typical breakfast sandwich but they convinced me to try the new Chicken over Rice platter on the menu instead. It was amazing! Tasted just like I went to the city to one of the Halal Trucks. Chicken was well seasoned and had the white sauce and hot sauce as well. Can't wait to try it again since he said he has the lamb he can mix it with as well!”

“Valley tavern in oak ridge nj has started serving food again I was the first customer I think. Completely satisfied. Food was good. Menus is good bar food menus plus.

“The food here is great. I don't understand the low score. Maybe back in the day it was bad but we have had great experiences here since living in the area. Felt compelled to write them a positive review to help get there score where they deserve. Def the best spot in the area. Bummer others have had bad experiences but in a half dozen orders here it has always been on point.Normally get General Tso, Lo Mein, Egg Drop soup and maybe egg rolls or Rangoon.”

Pool table, and very reasonable drinks prices. Package goods available next door if you need some to take home. On the left side 23N.”

“Most delicious muscles for a chain store. I actually prefer them to all the restaurants around here. Red sauce muscles taste much better than white sauce. Also the have a great special which is half a sandwich and a soup or salad but the soup and the salad are big.”

“We held my sister’s bridal shower here & we are all blown away at how great a experience we had. From start to finish Tracey & Liz assisted us with all the planning, & were super responsive to my emails. The day of, Tracey & our servers were so kind & helpful with everything. Everyone loved the food & the cake was delicious too! Thank you so much for making my sister feel special on her special day! Will hopefully come in the future for a regular dinner or lunch just to have Chef Andre’s food again!”

“Fantastic restaurant. The best ribs ,brisket and pulled pork I ever had. you won't leave hungry no matter what you order. the sides are also delicious: we sampled caramelized carrots/string beans, mac & cheese, slaw, smoked red beans, and broccoli...all excellent. Friendly staff and excellent service. No liquor license yet but nice selection of other drinks. Pleasant "log cabin" atmosphere. Can't think of a negative. Definitely a GO TO restaurant.”

“Dive into this cozy spot where the cookies are pure bliss for everyone – no need to be a vegan or vegetarian! The vibe is chill, the people are cool, and everything on the menu is just downright yummy. But seriously, you've gotta try those seven-layer cookies and protein bars ✨?✨”

“I read the reviews and was a little sceptical that it could be that good. The reviews don't lie! Missy's delivers in every respect. We were greeted warmly and genuinely. The server was equally friendly and helpful. The food was fresh, delicious, and the portions are generous. Had a hard time deciding between lunch and breakfast items, so before we even left, we were planning our next trip to Missy's for breakfast. Go on an empty stomach!”

“Delicious food and coffee. Would come back. Favorites were the ribeye which I cut with the butter knife, the grilled octopus, the labneh, the cheeseburger, the lamb chops, the chicken schnitzel and the potatoe rolls”

“We stopped in tonight for takeout and we were not disappointed. Having read reviews and heard from friends how busy it can be, we opted to make sure we could get the food we were so excited about. We got the bruschetta, meatballs, smoked ricotta cavetelli and spaghetti carbonara. Everything was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The one thing I'll say is we never got a text letting us know our order was ready but maybe I misunderstood that that was supposed to happen. Both past dishes were flavorful and delicious. The bruschetta was incredible...so much truffle flavor. The meatballs were moist and flavorful. The staff were pleasant, friendly, and efficient. We will 100% be back.”

“My son asked me to buy the cookies because he saw them on TikTok. I am happy that I could make him happy, and the cookies are bigger than I expected. Very nice! ?”

“Long time Andy’s customer and I’ve since moved out of the area but when I come through North Jersey I never skip an opportunity to have the best and most creative and delicious hotdogs. Andy‘s is constantly giving back to the community and partnering with the local school system for fundraisers. It’s a true example of a local community restaurant. Don’t get a Boring Dog. Try something unique”

“This is a family owned restaurant they all work so hard and they genuinely care about their customers. The food is amazing. The staff is so nice. You must also try their desserts. If your to full from your delicious meal make sure you take something home for later.”

“Great little breakfast joint. We’ve been here twice and it hasn’t disappointed. The only thing we’re disappointed about is that we don’t go more often. Food is good, atmosphere is good, staff is very nice.”

“Drove past the store recently and I couldn't believe my eyes! Welcome to town and I'm so happy you're here :)The cold cuts and bread are amazing. I stocked up on soup and gravy mixes. Found my favorite pickles and so much more. Dzienkuje I witam!”

“Obsessed with the Boba and have heard nothing but good things. Super sociable and kind workers that were very helpful. Great to go anytime of the day:) for all those who don’t know, parking available in the back!”

“Loved the food. Got a fresh chicken cutlet sandwich and was the best I got in a long time. Went all the way from Jersey City to get it and I'm glad I made the time to do so.Would definitely go again.”

“Hidden gem of a restaurant-Came to this area of NJ visiting Crystal spring resort and found Blue spice kitchen and decided to try it out with my wife.First impressions walking in - amazing decor, love the interior design. Atmosphere was warm and cozy. Everything was clean.The waitress (Kierra - sorry if got the name wrong) - she was very delightful. Extremely friendly and had a positive fun personality.We ordered the volcanoe kimchi fried rice and bulgoghi with rice. Very good dishes. Taste was spot on. Taste similar to if I was in south korea.Prices are fair, great service, tasty food.Definitely would recommend”

“The gem of Vernon ice cream. Hands down the best texture and flavor options for ice cream that you can find in the area. Definitely worth a visit. They also have great ice cream sandwich options. When you visit remember this place is Cash Only.”
