“This diner eclipses all others in NJ. Peter does a fantastic job in serving the customers and pays attention to details. Only one thing needs changing to get the coveted 5 star rating; Please procure a higher quality bacon. The sausages and the rest were superb!“

“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!“

“I finally got to Andy's after everyone telling me I had to try it out. I was not disappointed! If you are a fan of hotdogs, you must try what Andy has to offer. I tried The Pig Dog and a new option that wasn't even on the menu yet. He warned me it would be a LOT of food and he wasn't kidding, but it was so good I managed to finish it all. Try it out, then go back and try again!I will definitely be returning.“

“I go once in a while they have a lot of regulars. It's a nice chill spot to have a few drinks and relax. Staff is great! I've never had a problem. Nice vibe even when I'm not drinking (I'm pregnant and still go with my bf so he can relax) but over all definitely recommend you check it “

“I cannot say more about how happy and easy going the atmosphere and service of this place is. Each time we dine in, it’s like walking into our home with the family. The food is great, always conversations happening and friendly staff, no matter how early or late in the afternoon you go.Parking: Parking is available on street or back of place.Kid-friendliness: Area is small but able for kids to watch the tv or sit comfortably.“

“Excellent family atmosphere to dine in. Our greeting when my family and I walked in was so welcoming. The waitress were very nice and friendly. They looked like they enjoyed working there. The food was very flavorful and not overpowered with salt. The buffalo chicken egg roll was delicious. My little one enjoyed the mac n cheese with a grilled cheese (just cheddar). I ate some of her meal too! LOL. I had the meatloaf with mash and gravy and sauteed green beans. This entree hit the spot. My husband had the chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were lightly coated and seasoned just enough. Now I know when people hear GF dessert, they're turned off. Nope, the GF Black and white cake for dessert was very moist, lightly sweetened, and delicious. This place was fantastic. I will return and recommend that you try it.“

“One of the healthiest places to eat the Fitness grill is by far also the flavor full variety including tex mex salad and cob salad the wraps are second to none in taste I would highly recommend fitness grill along with the hospitality offered by the owner, she is the “

“Jose and Anif are the absolute BEST hosts at any restaurant my family has ever visited. Not only are they extremely polite with wonderful customer service skills, they are fast and efficient and keep the entire flow of people moving which is crucial to the operation of the entire restaurant. I am super impressed with these two employees, and would come back to dine here again simply because of them. Also, thank you so very much for going above and beyond to give my son a memorable and special birthday experience that he will always remember. You both deserve a promotion to leadership positions - and my family appreciates everything you did. Thank you soooo much!!! ?❤️?“

“Always a favorite when traveling through NJ or PA. I can't help it- I crave these delicious, fresh burgers with the toppings bar so that you can make it just perfect! And after all these years they still have the same amazing buttered bund and potato-wedge fries :)“

“We are new to the area, so we stopped in for a quick bite and drink.Its a nice sized place, well spaced out so you dont feel like you are on top of the next table.The staff was quick, attentive and professional.The food- AMAZING. I ordered the grilled octupus and want to come once a week to just get that. My girlfriend ordered the corned beef spring rolls and they hit the spot as well.We will def be back to explore more of the menu, as those 2 items alone have us wanting more.Parking: Is a lot of traffic but people come out and you park easyKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Gatwyns II is a very good neighborhood restaurant/ bar. The food (Portuguese Mussels and Pizza) are great but the beer choices are very poor. Lack of attention from the bar tender can be too frequent but the table service is strong. Definitely recommended, some areas could use improvement but generally happy with this place.“

“First visit to Alice’s. We will return. Fun bar downstairs with outside heated seating looking over the lake. The food was ok. Steak was ordered rare and that came out perfect. The Salmon though was over cooked. Sides were fine though the vegetables were a mix of warm and cold. Service was great. Nice people.“

“We've had lunch here about 10 times this year, and we really like it. Wish we had discovered it 24 years ago!We've had a few Summer dinners on the back patio sitting by the Raritan river headwaters, just a babbling brook at this point. It's enchanting! Try it!“

“Stopped in this morning at Pop's Place on Route 48 E. In Rockaway Township after hearing quite a few rave reviews. Cozy, old school style looking little roadside, classic style NJ eatery serving up a selection of Sabrett specialty hot dogs , sandwiches , burgers , grilled chicken boxes, spuds and rings, in addition to a mouth watering selection of your traditional New Jersey breakfast choices. Super fast and friendly service and immaculately clean, it was a family friendly joint to just sit, relax, and stuff your face with a variety of your favorite menu items, be it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I went with Pop's Breakfast Bomb. Taylor Ham (6 slices, beautifully charred), Sausage Patty, 2 Eggs, several slices of American Cheese, on a toasted Brioche Bun. WOW! This sandwich was as good as it sounds. Each bite was an explosion of flavor, and ample enough for two people. TeamTaylorNJ, if you haven't stopped by as of yet. Give it a try. Great stop, great food, nice people. Good luck and continued success. 03/30/2024“

“Today was the first time we ate out on a Holiday. Having Easter dinner @ Portofino's was the BEST!! We enjoyed a delicious meal, wonderful service and atmosphere without any 'clean up'. The food was served hot and appetizing. It couldn't get better. The entire staff was pleasant, accomodating and attentive.“

“The food is great tastes amazing! I'm truly amazed at how catering and caring the owner and staff are. I love this place and come here all the time for good burger fries hotdogs and and chicken tenders and of course the Dover Dairy maid is right never door the ice cream is fantastic the service is great. The ambiance is definitely good old fashioned American food is family friendly you can eat out side they just opened today for the start of the season. So excited to go back again.“

“It was a Thursday evening and we sat in the bar. We ordered off of the Chefs Tasting menu. We both ordered a salad and had the salmon entree which was deliciously perfect. Then we got to order a dessert because all the were included in the 29.99 price! It was excellent. We also had wine with our dinner.“

“Stopped here after church and was pleasantly surprised. The owner greeted us and sat us immediately. You can genuinely see his care and pride in the restaurant. The service was outstanding. Our daughter was the only child there but they all fussed over her. We really appreciated that. They also made menu modifications for her with no issues. We all loved our food. Portions were plenty and we all brought home some leftovers. Oh and get the beets if you are a beet person. They were fantastic!“

“I got a cake and a macaron tower and they were absolutely beautiful. The cake looked exactly like the picture and the colors were perfect. I'm so happy with the service the women that I spoke to that worked there were so kind and helpful. I would recommend them to everyone they are wonderful.“

“We have always enjoyed coming to Gladstone Tavern for dinner, but I can now recommend it for an event as well! We hosted a 70th birthday party for about 30 people in the upstairs room. Everything was excellent. The food and service were amazing, and Sue Farkas was wonderful to work with.“

“Our experience at The Windlass restaurant for Easter Brunch was simply outstanding! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a festive atmosphere that set the tone for a memorable dining experience with family.The selection of food at the brunch buffet was exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious options to satisfy every palate. From traditional brunch favorites to inventive chef specialties, each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The freshness and quality of the ingredients were evident in every bite, and we appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the meal.The ambiance of the restaurant was charming and inviting, with stunning views of Lake Hopatcong adding to the overall atmosphere. The staff were attentive and accommodating, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect.Overall, our Easter Brunch at The Windlass exceeded our expectations in every way. We left feeling thoroughly satisfied and grateful for the wonderful memories created with family. We cannot wait to return and indulge in more of the culinary delights that this gem of a restaurant has to offer.“

“We had the pleasure of throwing my daughter's baby shower at Stone Water on St. Patrick's Day. From beginning to end, it was a complete success. Karissa worked tirelessly with me to ensure that the entire planning process was seamless and that our event would be perfect! Perfect is an understatement!!! The event exceeded all of our expectations - the room was beautiful, the staff was incredible to work with and the food was out of this world! Family and friends are still raving about the event and of course, my daughter was equally floored. We will definitely be returning for future events and truly cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Karissa and all of the staff at Stone Water!“

“Neighborhood pop (and mama) bar/restaurant where I believe the owner is the chef and he makes some delicious and unique food that is consistently awesome. Best cuban sandwich i've had in the area. "Shweddy Balls" are a must try (think of a meatball but made from mashed seasoned eggplant with cheese and deep fried like a falafel).“

“The perfect place for a larger family outing. Celebrated a birthday with a dozen plus people including a handful of kids. Spacious interior (outside too in warmer weather). We were seated appropriately in the back room with a great view of the lake and away from adults only by the fireplace. Kids were free to be kids without disturbing others. Without exception, food and drinks were delicious and our waiter was great. With Horse Shoe Lake Park right down the road, it allowed us all to burn off some of the calories.“

“HIDDEN GEM. We were a party of 4 and came from 45 minutes away. The place is a bit smaller, but that didn’t take away from the amazing experience we all had. The waiter, who has worked there for over 17 years, was exceptional. He was friendly and funny and we all had an excellent time with him. The food was perfect. Everything we ordered came out perfect. It was all hot and it was all very delicious. I would highly recommend the pancakes. We will for sure be back again and again.“

“Last year: Good food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Great find!A year later, I was in the area and went back. It was once again really good.If you are looking for a comfortable atmosphere and food that is straightforward, hearty and good, then I highly recomend Charlotte's Web.“

“I've heard the term "out of body experience" before but could never truly say I've had one until I sank my teeth into a cheboygah (cheese burger for the layman's) at Village Saloon. Paired with fresh cut fries (fresh cuts for the hip) this cheboygah will change everything you ever thought was possible in culinary art. Their chilli is a meaty dense dark texture that warms the coldest souls from the darkest corners of the earth. My wife ventured into the land of poultry there by ordering a fried chicken special. All she lent me was half a wing in fear that she would run out of chicken too fast. Our server, I never got her name as she was also bartending / changing the lives of men and women who were experiencing the saloon, was nothing short of a messenger of God. Bringing food and drinks promptly and kindly and ensuring we did not faint out of pure bliss during our dining experience. All humans must enter this establishment and order a cheboygah. This is the only way to have the best in the universe. It will ruin all other boygahs for you at every place you ever get one. The fact that it comes with fresh cuts fried to superior excellence elevates your situation beyond your wildest dreams. Life begins anew when you leave here. There is nothing else but days of longing for the next time you get to go to Village Saloon.Kid-friendliness: Highchairs“

“Welcoming staff and the owner is always hands on.Cozy atmosphere with a bar. Food comes out hot. Live music on Fridays. We have been several times and Im hoping they address my one peeve. Though I appreciate cleanliness, the smell of whatever product they are using is so strong it lingers the entire meal. Go to a product not so toxic and scented so we can enjoy the food w/o the oder.“

“On vacation nearby & visited the Beacon on several occasions over last few weeks for drinks & food. Delicious, particularly recommend crab dip, seafood flatbread & burgers.Really enjoyed the live music and trivia night!Can’t wait to visit during the warmer months and spend time on the deck.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free catered for.“

“Went for lunch today and everything was so delicious! Ordered a Brooklyn panini and Polo’s punch. Shared an order of pesto garlic park boneless wings which are a must have everytime we come. Service at the bar was amazing even for it being 12“

“The burgers were ok,nothing special being I'm a butcher.The service was superb!!It's a nice place for date night with your wife or girlfriend,it's laid back!One thing that bothers me when we go out is everything still over priced!!This inflation is out of control, this dinner should have cost about $45.00 including TIP.They say things are getting better, where I ask??Things were so much better beforeParking: leaving the pub is a bit difficult pulling out onto traffic!“

“Tuesday is karaoke night. The bar is happening but not busy, the music is on but not unmanageable, and the drinks are good. I really enjoyed my time, and the drinks, and the service. I'll only knock the fact that the menu doesn't display prices and the "not IPA craft selection" is pretty bad. Which I know is a tall ask but for 20+ beers is a little bit disappointing.I would totally go back.“

“I went there with both of my daughters & my grandchildren that are 4 years old and 1 1/2 & we enjoy ourselves. The reason we went here was because the donate a percentage of the bill to the local high school. Staff friendly & atmosphere.“

“We had a wonderful dinner at the Corner Bistro. There were six of us, and as we hadn't been together in a long time, there was a lot to catch up on. This was perfect place to enjoy a meal and a conversation. The service was attentive but didn't make us feel rushed. The food was delicious, and several of us had to take food home as the portions generous. It is BYOB, which is nice. I highly recommend this restaurant for food, service and atmosphere.“

“This local tavern seems to have transformed itself during the pandemic! The food is amazing! I was surprised at the prices however. We intended to stop in for a few beers and burgers, it was not a special night out but it wound up costing as much as if it were. The noise levels tend to get pretty high in the bar, so you may prefer to sit in the back dining area. Go and support locally owned establishments!“

“I past but this place very often and it always catches my eyes, because of it's unique A-frame log cabin look. Also, that it has a sign that says 'Drive-Thru' and next to it is another sign that says 'We Sell Beer'...always shake my head and have a chuckle!! One day decided to pop in and grab a dog. The inside is a bit odd, as the outside. The interior decor is a mashup of ski log cabin, a diner, and a hot dog stand...hilarious!! The staff at the counter was friendly and patiently waited for me to decide on what I wanted...breakfast or lunch...brunch times are the toughest!! Their menu board is larger than expected, also they serve breakfast all day. So, I got the breakfast sandwich to go and a hotdog with fries and a shake to eat in. The food was ok, a little pricey for average size portions. The staff was nice as they brought the food to the table. As I was sitting there looking around, taking in the unique decor once again. Not saying it's bad, just needs a few things updated. One area I enjoyed looking at...was a display case with the owner's father U.S. Army service jacket from WWII with a couple of his medals, photos, and letters. Definitely respect and appreciated that display of that history. One day I would like to come back to help them update that display case.“

“Monterey Fine Foods catered my father-in-law's repast last weekend. Andres was professional, helpful, kind, and very patient - he offered and delivered every convenience, and the servers were amazing. When they left the place was spotless. The food is amazing, special shout-out for the shrimp tostados, the summer salad, and the onion dip w/homemade potato chips! Would definitely recommend and use them again.“

“Stopped by with another couple for drinks after dinner elsewhere. Nice bar and pleasant atmosphere. Bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. Although I only had a Sambuco Black, it was served appropriately with three coffee beans. Would stop by this bar again. Maybe even do dinner here next time.“

“We have eaten there several times and it is always delicious. We want to give special appreciation to Rachel, your manager, for her special caring and sensitivity to our needs. In today's world, where one struggles, especially if old like we are, to speak to a live human being, when you are able to converse with a person who is actually listening to what you said, this is rare. Add to that delicious fresh food and you have a winner. Tonight we had fresh large shrimps with a most delicious home made cocktail sauce. Fresh crab cakes with a fabulous remoulade, and a chocolate mousse to die for as dessert. We ordered too much and have to save some for tomorrow. We live in town, and are happy to see the names of so many out of town visitors appreciate Chesapeake Tavern.“

“Lunch - was just right.We all ate from the office and the owner - Joe was attentive , food on point and cooked just right.A veggie , a meat eater and a starving crew enjoyed french onion soup, matzah ball soup and the winner chicken noodle.Next round was the blue cheese burger , Salad with veggies tacos and so much more.Staff was great , food was A++ and plenty of parking for 4 people.We will be back - thank you, H. Diner.Dietary restrictions: We all had different needs and vegetarian was met , medium rare meat was achieved .Wheelchair accessibility: A separate entrance for wheel chair is available.“

“Okay, we ate here in 3/19/24. first time. Will not be the Last time either. Place is very Nice and Cozy inside. (the area with the Fireplace and bar) clientele was a mix of Young and older types. with no Riff-Raff!! which was great. So many people blasting their phones with videos etc. its Disgusting!! The service was Excellent! The Food was Very tasty and fresh. cooked just right too. We Split the Ceaser salad. which was not your typical Ceaser. still Good though. I had the Special "Artic Char" Which was Delicious! my friend had the "Berkshire Pork chop" which she said was also delicious!! we also had desert. something Chocolaty. I forget what it was. I never have Desert. this one was Very Good!! If you haven't been here. do yourself a Favor and Go. you will not be disappointed!! I gave it four stars instead of Five. only because the menu only has one pasta dish. otherwise, I would have given five stars.“

“The hotel looked very nice and modern with a great entryway. The rooms were well maintained and clean especially the beds, so comfortable. The staff was excellent especially Steve at the bar who helped us have a great evening after the wedding!“

“This diner is definitely a favorite stopping place when we are back in our home state! The lobster bisque is not to be missed but only available on the weekend. They had a beef and barley soup, reminded me of home.The server was very friendly. Staff was joyful. ❣️“

“Waiter was a great salesman and polite. One iced tea had to be asked for 3 times, one meal didn't come out until everyone else was almost done.5 adults went, and we were presented a bill with automatic 20% tip... and told a 7% discount for cash and 3% surcharge for credit card. We normally tip 20% so that wasn't terrible. It was just a surprise with only 5 and the waiter didn't tell us it was already added. I get the cc surcharge... but cash discount sounds like.... fishy.We won't be going back...“
