“First time here. Very impressed! Very nice restaurant in a small strip mall. Excellent service as well as food. They have a small but varied menu. I ordered the Hanger steak and my wife had the chicken franchise. Delicious! We don't live in the area, but would love to return sometime.“

“Having grown up in Brooklyn I appreciated Neil and his great Neapolitan pizza-making. Eddie and the whole crew are a credit to Neil's legacy. All varieties and styles of pizza are A+ here. And they don't rat you out if you buy extra slices to eat on the way home. They even make a ❤-shaped pizza year round, if asked. All Manahawkin owes Anthony's a delicious, big thanks!“

“3 Flags Grille has Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian food. Stopped for lunch and was pleasantly suprised to find tables coveted with white linens and blue cloth napkins. Arranged neatly with black comfy chairs. The restaurant was very neat and clean. We were warmly greeted and ordered a delicious soup and shared a Philly cheese steak.The food was excellent and reasonably priced. If you have not tried this great addition to our town be sure you stop by and enjoy.“

“We got speakeasy pizza twice on our vacation and we're very satisfied each time. Being from NJ, I've missed the pizza. I know shore pizza isn't quite the same as regular Jersey pizza, but this was pretty good! The fries are also good too--nice and crispy, so they survive the drive back to your beach house okay.“

“Anchor Inn saved my party!!!! We had a house party planned for 16 people. 1 hour before guests were supposed to arrive, our street got flooded out in Ocean Gate. We called Anchor Inn and they happily accommodated our party of 16 just 45 minutes later!! Everyone arrived at the restaurant and our party was being served efficiently. We all really enjoyed our big variety of meals such as pizzas, eggplant rollatini, ravioli, lasagna, etc. they let us bring our own birthday cake and didn’t even charge us a serving fee for it. No one does that anymore and so we wanted everyone to know how wonderful this place was for us, and how incredibly stressed out we were before they saved the day. Thank you so much Anchor Inn management, chef, and servers!!!!“

“My go to place not only for lunch but all the other goodies they have Todays Beef Barley was amazing and the the Trooper sandwich was also great and a little too much to eat in one sitting but they are only too willing to box for you I find their helpers to be very friendly and they go above and beyond helping me to my car with my packages Can’t say enough about Rich the owner who knows most of his customers by name and always stops by to say hello Nice to go to a place that makes you feel comfortable“

“I got to say for sorrows is good real good quick delivery times they're honest if they say a certain time they're there but you got to be careful because when it shows up it is real hot real hot and really good food excellent“

“Great thin crust pie & amazing cheese calzone. I asked for extra mozzarella in calzone & it was perfect! Sauce very good. Our first time & will now try their famous Grandma Pie. Definitely our new go to! Thanks guys!“

“The best restaurant in the area the guys go every Tuesday nite u won't be disappointed. 5 stars.“

“We have been living here in Manahawkin full time for several years now. We passed Russo's hundreds of times but never ate there until this evening. We thought the place was a local pizza joint. Born and raised in Brooklyn we just never thought to give the place a shot, i mean no point right?Wrong. We were getting together with friends for dinner, they said lets go to Russo's, we figured ahh what the hell.Wow what a great meal and great experience. The menu is simple the food was fantastic and the service was outstanding. Erin was accommodating, and pleasant. She was gracious as well even though we were there an hour past closing time. The food is clean not over seasoned, and they are a BYOB establishment. We had, perfectly fried gallamad (calamari for you non Brooklynites) flat bread, brooklyn bolognese , chicken saltimbocca, pork chop saltimbocca all perfectly cooked.Highly recommend them for a good meal at a reasonable price, and great service. Well done team Russo's. We will be seeing you again soon.“

“Had a large Xtra cheese pizza. I'll give another half star for 41/2 stars. We ate in and I think they wanted to satisfy us too quickly. Pizza was very good, another minute in the oven and 5 stars for food. Service, good and friendly and atmosphere is typical. Give it a try!“

“Our meal was amazing as was our waitress Dana. The menu selections were excellent and varied and the special entree the 16oz. Veal chop was delicious. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed her birthday dinner. We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The go-to pizza place for me and the family. Great variety of pizza and their dinners are also very good. The portions of the dinners are very large for the prices. There is minimal in seating in the pizza place so I recommend to go ordering.“

“April 20, 2024 (Saturday) Baby Shower 12-4.Was such a special day. Everything from the food, service, attention to detail, rustic decor, were over and above.Marilyn and Lauren were both wonderful to work with, attentive, responsive and very flexible. Our servers Nancy and Dianne were awesome! The place was decorated beautifully with a rustic theme, they were always cleaning up, made sure there was plenty of food, replenishing the beverage table, cleaning dirty plates from table etc.I would highly recommend Kate & Ally's whether it's for an off premise party or on-site.I did not see our dishes in the selection in this review but wanted to mention we had the Chic Francaise, Tortellini Alfredo, Stuffed Shells, Filet Tips over Noodles. Everyone raved about how delicious and fresh everything was.Thank you Team Kate and Ally for such a wonderful day!“

“Pan pizza with meatballs was excellent! Wife had penne with Alfredo, she loved it. Definitely ordering again!!!Vegetarian options: Just mentioned when ordering. Very accommodating. Penne w/ Alfredo, and french fries. Garlic knots were not soaked in oil, but had a nice crust on top, like a garlic parmesan paste!“

“Hands down best pizza in South Jersey and I don’t say that loosely. The quality and taste of the pizza is not like any other pizzeria around here. Whatever they do or use to make their pizza sets them apart from the rest. You’d have to go to the boroughs to get anything that taste as good. Very “

“My family and I absolutely LOVE Mimmos Pizzaria. Anything you order is out of this world!I order things like mozzarella sticks just to get a little cup of the sauce. It is so darn good! One of my favorite items to get is the garlic knot grilled chicken with red peppers, fresh mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. I think we have tried just about all of their pizzas and I can't pick a favorite on that so can't answer that question. Ha ha ha very clean, very friendly. The staff is always on it. This is one of those businesses that genuinely care about their customers...one quick story on how good they are as people in general, my father-in-law passed away Christmas Eve a few days later..two trays of food showed up at my house that we did not order, we couldn't figure out where it came from. No one was claiming it & it wasn't paid for. It was fairly pricey, but Mimmo( the owner) refused to let us pay for it! He gave us the two trays of food, and asked nothing in return! This is why family owned small businesses are what should be running this world instead of large corporations that don't care. They will always be our number one Pizzaria. Best around! (That's also coming from a New Yawka haha -NY).“

“The food is EXCELLENT. The service is Excellent. The Ambiance is Great. We've eaten here twice. The chef, Chris, is a really good dude and is very talented. The Pizza is great and I've eaten them all (DeLorenzos, Sallys, DeLuccias, Grimaldi's).. We had Chicken Francaise Pizza there last time and it is incredible. The eggplant is Outstanding. The soups have always been terrific. We are retiring down to this area and It is very comforting to know, that I will still be able to get great Italian food in my new neighborhood. Thank You!“

“Conca D'oro in Lacey did a phenomenal job catering the food for my son's "White (Dr.) Coat" ceremony. We ordered the chicken parmesan, penne vodka, and caesar salad. Everyone could not get over how good it was. The full tray portions were generous :) The food was 10/10 and the service was also 10/10. They brought over the sternos the night before to make sure I had enough room for table setup, gave me their personal cell to contact them for any needs before, during, or after, and offered us to text them when we were leaving the ceremony so it could be as fresh and hot as possible. The food though...guys you have to get catering from here...you will not be disappointed!“

“I was there on Thursday the food was great! Only problem was I wasn't aware of the gratuity that was put on for six or more people. So we ended up spending much more money than we excepted“

“It has been many years since we have been to Olive Garden. Let me tell you the experience we had last night was awesome. We had a server who was brand new so she was a little off, but she was very good. The food was fantastic. Really had a good time and a good celebration.Kid-friendliness: There is a high emphasis on kids. When we arrived, we asked real quickly for a mac & cheese and a spaghetti dinner for the two little ones and that came right away along with orange juice and lemonade. Plus they had some crayons and something to color right off the bat.“

“I must say Naples is the best pizzeria in town Not only is the pizza the perfect balance of cheese and sauce , the sauce is not sweet yet savory unlike many other pizza sauces. Also they address me by my name every time I walk in. They never forget me!! Very friendly and warm atmosphere!! I highly suggest. They also have a very warm and welcoming dining area in the back as well. The price is not as cheap for a pie , but then again what is these days. You get what you pay for. Which is a very good meal!! The entrees are big and delicious as you get many options on sides as well. Enjoy !!Dietary restrictions: They are extremely accommodating to any dietary restrictions or preferences just let them know ahead of time!Parking: Parking is located in the wawa parking lot along with Danny's Bayshore bagels.Kid-friendliness: AbsolutelyWheelchair accessibility: Yes!“

“I have had food from here plenty of times. I have always enjoyed it - my absolute favorite is the Buffalo chicken pie w blue cheese! The crust is always perfectly cooked and it's not super messy. They delivered very quickly and I like all the different options on their menu. Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: They offer cauliflower pizza !“

“Made a reservation for a birthday, party of ten. They had us all set up in a big room with a server ready to go as soon as I got there. Wine glasses, ice buckets c water, etc. Emily was a gem! Service was perfect. We all ordered different items. Everyone loved their food. I had the shrimp francais. Best I ever had, and I'm picky because I cook a lot. Food was nice and hot . After dinner our plates were cleared and Emily wrapped all our leftovers for us. Highly recommend Pietros for your next dinner choice .“

“We had a family event catered by Vinnie's. The staff were extremely helpful and patient when we ordered the food. The delivery was on time and the driver very pleasant. Everyone was delighted with the food. We had people from out of state and out of the country. We will certainly be using Vinnie’s again for our events. Thank you!“

“My husband and myself new Mario and Maria and their daughter Sylvia and their son-in-law rest in peace Mario The restaurant is fantastic delicious food great people very well done I think you should go and check this place out haven’t been there in a few years ready to go back thank you Dee and “

“Some people love fast food, I love pizza! This place has been around forever and I always heard such great things. When my daughter was a senior during the pandemic they had an adopt a senior program and the senior I adopted wanted a Ray's pizza because he loved it. Finally I got a chance to try it out. I'm not going to lie it's a bit of a dive but clean.The people are extremely pleasant and it seemed to be a family run business.Straight out of the oven our delicious thin crusted pizza came out and we started to drool just a little. Compared to some thin crust pizza places I would consider this pizza to be medium in crust, they used real cheese because the pizza actually had oil coming off.A bunch of pizza places have got cheap using cheap mozzarella or adding provolone,this place used good cheese! The first slice I had was delicious but after that the second the sauce was a little sweet. I think I devoured my first slice. Overall this pizza place deserves a solid 4!!I would definitely go again.“
