“Absolutely the best Jamaican food around. I would say on par with Scotchies in Jamaica. Wonderful Caribbean vibe. We ordered a mix for the table and not one dish disappointed. Fall off bone ribs. Great jerk sauce and hot as hell boda pepper sauce”

“Very cool spot. Interesting, creative menu, really nice array of house cocktails which are also creative. Good energy, good music, and the layout works really well - the bar area has its own vibe and good seating options, from booths to hightops. It's fun!”

“Very accommodating, great food, great atmosphere and wonderful place to dine”

“A Hidden Gem in Wharton That Keeps Getting Better!

This evening we had a truly wonderful dinner at Reno’s Pizzeria and Restaurant in Wharton, NJ. From start to finish, everything about our visit was top-notch. Our server, Shirley, was incredibly attentive—friendly, prompt, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. What really stood out, though, was that Reno himself came by to check in and ensure we were enjoying our evening. It’s not every day you see that level of care and pride from an owner, and it absolutely elevated the experience.

We started with two fantastic appetizers—the eggplant rollatini and little neck clams in marinara sauce. Both were delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. For entrees, we chose the mahi mahi in mango sauce special and the shrimp scampi over linguini. Each dish was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. Compliments to the chef—truly excellent work in the kitchen!

We ended our meal on a sweet note with the mini cannolis, which were perfectly crispy and bursting with flavor.

Although Reno’s (formerly Maria’s) has been a staple in town for some time, their recent expansion into a charming sit-down dining area has added so much to the local dining scene. It’s cozy, welcoming, and a perfect spot for a relaxed and satisfying dinner. Reno’s is a real asset to Wharton, and we’ll definitely be back! (PS It's BYOB!)”

“Great find in Wharton! Look for the orange door right next to Walgreens! Service is thoughtful without a rush...so pleasant on a Friday night! My daughter and her boyfriend took us here for dinner. Every single item we ordered was served fresh, at the perfect temperature (including crispy hot fries). The wings were amazing. The salad special - beautifully presented, fresh and delectable. Charred edamames were so well flavored and served with care. We had 2 different types of chicken sandwiches, both delicious. The meatballs were fabulous. My daughter's boyfriend had to request his burger back after she took a bite of the perfectly prepared and tasty sandwich! Drinks were wonderful. We will be back!”
