He was very attentive & welcoming. Drinks was great food was hot & fresh and came out at a decent time. Most of all conversations was great and he made sure we was having a good time . Thank you ?. I will be returning soon .Parking: A lot of parking available“
“First time in Pinebrook and will definitely be coming back just to eat here! The food is delicious and the space is beautifully decorated. Highly recommend! Definitely order the charred octopus, spicy red sangria, squid ink linguini and diavolo pizza (if you like spicy)“
“Thank you for not disappointing. My friends and I had a girls' night, and they had not known this existed. They were happy with their meals and impressed with the place.I had been here twice, and the 3rd time was still a charm.Gives the other Cuban places a run for their money.“
“We always have a nice experience at The Shannon Rose, but last night was exceptional, principally because of the server, Marienella. She was amazing. So nice, patient (my wife had many questions and sent her specialty drink back once for modification), sociable and knowledgeable. Marienella made our entire time there that much more special!“
“My friend and i were just looking for a cigar bar but i was also a little hungry. Surprisingly i had arguably the best filet mignon of my life here. it was so good. I shared a bit with the others at my table and they were in complete agreement. they had the salmon and was also very satisfied with it. I tap the guests at the table across from us who ordered the largest rack of ribs ever and i asked if that was good too and they said they order it every week. It's so good and falls of the bone. I had to meet the chef, Mike, just to tell him how impressed i was.“
“This was my very first time coming to Borelli's and I'm so glad I did, it features a wonderful staff, wonderful food and a warm & friendly owner who has 6 grandchildren! My lovely date and I sat at the bar and got the last two available stools; it's a cool, small U-shaped bar with a lot of friendly people that are regulars there and they helped us make wise menu selections as did the owner. We started out with Bluepoint oysters that were just splendid and progressed to Bareli's meatball dish, which is definitely a must if you go, a few lovely Chianti Classicos for me and Pinot Grigio for my date, we were happy as a lark, we'll back tonight to see Lonnie Youngblood perform which I couldn't believe, he's 87 years old and still gigging. Somebody buy this man a gold watch! We were also told that the Italian pork chop here is not mind blowing superb. Two. Thumbs up kiddos.“
“Gave my bestfriend a surprise dinner party here and nothing disappointed. Danielle the manager made sure everything from the setup to the vibe flowed. This beautiful floral venue is absolutely stunning. Praying this business thrives and expands.“
“Tried this place with my family for my sister's birthday. Everything was delicious. For appetizers we tried the calamari, the mussels fra diablo, the clams and the sweet potato fries. Three different steaks were ordered along with the chicken Parmesan, and a lamb that was the daily special. Nothing disappointed. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially because I will definitely be going back.“
“I live in Maryland, and was up in Jersey visiting family. My girlfriend, cousin and I all had dinner on 3/23. Sam provided excellent service, and drinks recommendations. In addition, we had an 8:30 reservation, yet never felt rushed. Thanks again to Sam.Cocktails we had were the Smooth operator, steel magnolia, and the southwest cider. All 3 were amazing. Kudos to the barteam as well.We had the calamari and burrata as appetizers, both fantastic.Next time we find ourselves in Jersey, we will be back 100%.“
“This a 5 star review because it hit all of the check marks. You simply cannot get the same value you will get here anywhere else.Firstly, the staff is family, and very welcoming and accommodating. They Truly care about the restaurant, its legacy and there foodA very comfortable environment with 80's/90's country music playing and a homey feeling dining room. I felt like I went my cousins for dinner and coffee.Our waitress was one of the owners and helped me select some craft brews they offered. Very generous and appreciated.The Buffalo Wings are excellent. Cooked right and in a thinner sauce with a little zing but not overpowering.Our dinners were the Godfather Trio (Veal, Shrimp Parm and Eggplan Rollantini) and the 16oz Sizzling steak.The Italian Trio was a good portion and had a nice sauce, very filling and a very reasonable price.The Steak was better than some steakhouses and "higher-end" restaurants that like to charge $40-$60 for it.The steak was PERFECT! And for a price point under $30 is one of the best bargains you can find! Flavor was amazing and cooked expertly!We finished with coffee and the Chocolate Mousse Cake & Cheesecake. Well worth it and again; a price you can't beat.We even took home dinners for work the next day. It was that good.This is a Gem and a throw back to how things used to be and should be. Where your welcomed in and treated like a guest in a home and fed a wonderful meal.***Keep in mind - Cash Only But the have anATM on site. Not a big deal.Head in and enjoy. I'll definitely be back!!!“
“I love love love Desiree, Gerry, Dan, and Kelly. Such great staff and energy. No matter what kind of day it is, I always feel welcomed. Thank you for being such amazing people! If you’re ever around the area, come by! You won’t regret it <3“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Envy Bar and Grille and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The blend of Portuguese and American cuisine on the menu was both unique and delicious. The flavors were a perfect marriage of both cultures.The ambiance of the restaurant was also a standout feature. The cool artwork around the space added a trendy and modern vibe. It was a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.I also want to give a shoutout to our waitress who provided exceptional service throughout our meal. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu.Overall, I highly recommend Envy Bar and Grille for anyone looking for a unique dining experience in Newark. The food, atmosphere, and service all exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning in the future.Parking: No parking lot for the restaurant. Need to find street parking which depending on the day and time you go -is not a problem.“
“Have not been here in years. Service was amazing. Our server Tim was the best. The owner was so friendly and attentive. Food was fresh, hot and tasty. Atmosphere was family friendly and great for all ages. Very reasonably priced. Bonus- upstairs if you want to host a party. We will definitely be going back. We highly recommend the Firehouse“
“I used to frequent the Notch back in my Montclair Days (80's baby!) Rich and I (8 total!) all drove (3 cars!) to Daytona Beach on Spring Break back in 1987 or 88 I forget and he's like the most awesome guy ever and I am glad to see he still is! He said he'd never sell the place and I see they literally re-built around him; everything is new! Way to go Rich you Diamond David Lee Roth sonofagun you! The Great Notch Inn and Montclair State University are the only original landmarks around and I think Rich & The Notch will still be standing long after the college is gone! Well done Sir (clap-clap) well done indeed! Your Old Pal, Not 'sweet Lou'.....Chris!! The ringleader!! PS: 'Phyllis!!!' PSS: Did those queerdos Mark or Tom ever pay you back for like 'taking care of everyone' the entire week?! Those scumbags!! Love you & miss U bro!“
“The only issue was trying to get someone to speak English on the phone when I called. After talking to 3 different females, the fourth one spoke English.And the valley people lost my car keys ticket. I had to go thru all the keys to fi d mine.“
“My husband and I love this place. We go frequently and sit at the bar to eat and watch hockey. The food is always good and my husband enjoys the beer list, which is updated frequently. A special shout out to John and Brendan behind the bar who always make us feel welcome.“
“Very kind, we came to visit from Philadelphia and we were delighted with the experience here! The man at the door helped us with the child's car and accommodated us very well and the waiter was equally friendly! 5 stars! Recommended! Thank you“
“I've been going to Rumba Cubana for years and I've been to most of their locations. The food is always good, served hot, and the customer service is always great. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience (and I'm really picky when going out to eat)“

“Crab Island exceeded all expectations with their delightful Cajun seafood offerings and exceptional service. Despite high anticipation, every dish surpassed our hopes, bursting with authentic flavors that transported us to the heart of Cajun cuisine. The friendly staff added to the warmth of the experience, offering knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring our every need was met with a smile. From the perfectly seasoned boils to the succulent grilled seafood, every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality. Without a doubt, Crab Island stands as a beacon of Cajun culinary excellence, deserving of every praise.“
“Drinks are excellent, bartenders are usually great also—really talented at making cocktails. Good local beer choices. As a vegetarian I can’t speak to much of the food—fries are great, but the veg burger is very dense and not my favorite. I love coming here for a few drinks and apps. Dog friendly too!“
“We came with a group to celebrate a great friends promotion…which was also a surprise wedding proposal for her. Marc was extremely accommodating and Kristina, who was our server as well as the manager was beyond amazing. She was on point and went well beyond to make our experience awesome…all while handling another large group. I cannot express enough how thankful we are and what a great experience we had! Thank you Blackjacks!!!“
“This place has excellent food and amazing drinks to go along with its awesome atmosphere. It has 2 sides to the restaurant, a dining area, and an awesome bar area with TV's everywhere & tables where you can also sit and eat as well. It is like a Mini Hard Rock Cafe with a ton of classic rock & roll memorabilia & great music. Forgot to mention live music after dinner hours too. Great experience. We will go back there again for sure“
“Was there for a show. Very crowded - in a good way - and busy kitchen. Still managed to seat and serve everyone with courtesy and timeliness. Other patrons very warm and friendly. A great place for an adult night out. Good food, good people, good music.“
“The absolute best dive bar I’ve ever been to! A friend and I came up from North Carolina for the weekend and stumbled upon Charlie’s…. 10/10!! We instantly felt welcomed and the bartenders are the best! Make sure you go on karaoke night!“
“Listen here I went to my niece 16 here and when I tell you I felt like it was the White House lol amazing place, clean and the people are well train to the fact I ask for water and 3 bottles by 3 different people came lol the manager is also very friendly and amazing and hope to have my daughter one here soon thank u“
“The food was aahhhhmazing!!!! Their presentation was beautifully executed!!! Our drinks did stay empty, and our waitress didn't check back until it was time for us to pay the bill, but everything else was great! I think it was because it was just so busy.“
“I've decided this is my go to bar to bring everyone when we meet up from family, friends, coworkers, day drinking etc. I like the theme nights, bingo, trivia, bands, etc. I want business to go well from them so they open with kitchen & its profitable all week. Foods amazing...good "no mess behaved" atmosphere. My go to place. Bartenders and everyone are nice.“
“Good food, nothing overly special but solid good bar foodConvenient locationQuick serviceThe sweet potato fries and the vampire tacos were the highlight in my eyesDefinitely recommend especially if you are in the area for a movie night to grab some food before/after“
“This place is amazing not your average dive, upscale, drinks, and some really amazing bites!I absolutely love the wings and the bang bang shrimp so saucy and delicious! And then cheesesteak is a must order! To end it all you must get the jumbo cannoli trust me!“
“This was on my list to visit and I was able to do so today. I had dinner there and the steak was good but wish it came out warmer... I think it was waiting for my friend's salmon to be cooked as her food was hotter. The mash potatoes was hot though. The espresso martini was good definitely deserves a return. Service was absolutely excellent. Mauricio was pleasant, personable, and charming also funny.Overall lovely place I would return to, for sure..maybe they have brunch I'll need to check but then again maybe not as it opens at 4 pm.Parking: There is a parking lot but it doesn't look huge and it's across the street from the establishment.. You can do street parking I don't believe I saw any meters.“
“Tucked away behind the Main Street we stumbled upon this excellent restaurant. We ordered Spring rolls and a Japanese thingy for starter, both were really good. For mains it was Beef and Ginger and Prawn Fried Rice, again both excellent. So for 2 starters, 2 mains and 4 drinks it came to 58 euros, even excellenter ?…music choice was a bit different in that it was dance oriented but wasn’t out of place. We have booked again and would obviously recommend ?“
“My dad first put me on this restaurant by its delicious, fresh takeout food. We'd typically order octopus or whole fish. My parents decided to take us out for our birthday and it was not a disappointment. I felt like I was in Portugal without actually traveling there and it's a home away from home from the moment you walk in.Everyone ordered different entrées and each dish offered a unique, top-quality taste. If you're looking for an authentic Portuguese spot in the Hudson County area, Pic-Nic is your go-to!Vegetarian options: There is a vegetarian option available on the menu.Parking: About 11 or 12 parking spaces and street parking is very difficult given the area.Kid-friendliness: While there is no kids menu, there are few options available for children.Wheelchair accessibility: Whether parked in the lot or on the street, you can easily access the lot, entrance and seating area with a wheelchair.“
“Just what it should be! Comfortable inviting local pub with great food. Wings, burgers, pizzas, salads etc. we ordered 2 kinds of wings, garlic parmesan and buffalo. Super crispy with the right amount of sauce for the flavor and not ruin the crispness!“
“An awesome super friendly place to come. Welcomes everyone. Very unique place. The grill has a Caribbean flare, with curried onion burgers and stewed chicken. They make their rum punches on site and they're refreshing and taste authentic. They have many events and lots of live music. The bar is ridiculously clean. Can't really go wrong here, whether you're flying solo or running with friends. Can even bring kids earlier in the night.If you like cheese steak get the J*** cheese steak! Crazy good comfort food that one.And the service is super friendly!“
“I'm not sure why I was hesitant to go to ReBAR. I'm so glad I overcame my reluctance! This place is a little gem. Great food. Friendly bartenders. It's become my go-to place to sit at the bar for a drink and a delicious meal. The pizza is thin and crispy. Dinners are satisfying and well-prepared. Treat yourself!“
“Had a great time here with friends. Good food, fantastic service, and a nice table to chat away the night. Didn't get to take any pictures, but it's basically a pub style with plenty of tables right on the main street in Pompton Lakes. We hadn't been in this area for a LONG time. We went around the corner and there was St Mary's church where we got married 41 years ago last week!!!“
“Apps, drinks and food were amazing and I loved the winter spritz. Our waiter, Miguel was great. Kept coming over to ask if we needed anything and if our meal was good. Everything was professional and efficient, and I will definitely be coming back again!“
“I like Maggie’s now. They’ve updated the menu. I got the ginger sesame orange salad it was delicious. Next time I won’t get shrimp on it because it was too big. I thought it would be popcorn shrimp. I do like the option of adding protein like chicken. The place is always packed and very loud though. Don’t get the fish and chips, not great. Probably better for takeout.Dietary restrictions: They make changes to your order if you request it.“
“Food is amazing! But wow, these young servers are either smoking something before work or just not interested in remembering the little things. Very forgetful on orders, refills and overall paying attention to tables needs. (Clearing table prior to dinner arriving, following up after orders come out to see if anything is needed… the little things that make the difference.)“
“I Love Covid94 I’ve been visiting for 7 months now and i love it. The owners are great guys very friendly and sociable. this has become my new spot. The food, the ambiance is great. If you’re in the Nutley / Belleville/ Bloomfield area make sure you stop in.“
“What a fantastic place for beer and burger. This is a nice local bar. It’s not a place where you want to take your little kids for late dinner where seats are mostly taken and many people standing around.Staff are very friendly and attentive, great beer selection, and delicious burger+onion rings.“
“Vegetarian options: Delicious pasta and vegetable itemsDietary restrictions: Very accommodating with special requests, such as no added salt, for customers on restricted diets. They can do this because their food is prepared fresh And it’s always delicious!!Parking: Plenty of parking with good accessKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly and great selectionWheelchair accessibility: Easy access“
“Just had drinks but the female bartender was so friendly that our "one and done" stop turned into 4 each. Pricing was more than fair, and everyone else in the bar seemed to be having fun and everyone was respectful of all the other groups of people.“
“Today was my first visit to this restaurant and it exceeded my expectations. The food was tasty, the service was attentive and the ambiance was pretty cool and calm. I was def satisfied with my experience and will be back soon! Keep up great work, guys !!!“
“Pretty cool place to go. Have some fun and listen to music and dance the night away. Parking can be a little tough but not impossibleThe place is clean and the bathrooms are clean. There are two rooms for dancingUsually the back is latin and the front is house musicFriendly staff, price of drinks are averagePay a visit Friday or Saturday so far I believe they provide music ?“
“Our dining experience at Houlihan's restaurant in Paramus, NJ, was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a memorable evening.The menu offered a great variety of options, and each dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. I had the stuffed chicken breast accompanied by asparagus and mashed potatoes, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. My son thoroughly enjoyed his chicken wings and fries, while my wife savored her top sirloin steak paired with a loaded baked potato. Our friend visiting from Ireland, a lovely lady, was delighted with the fish and chips, which she claimed rivaled those back home.The quality of the food was exceptional, and the presentation was equally impressive. Each dish was beautifully plated, showcasing the care and attention to detail that went into its preparation.The service at Houlihan's was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, making our dining experience even more enjoyable.Overall, our dinner at Houlihan's was a resounding success. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere made for a great evening out. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience in Paramus, NJ, look no further than Houlihan's. Highly recommended!“
“We came into the Barn and were thrilled with our service AND our meal AND DRINKS!!!!!!We met the owner when he first arrived at the BARN…..very nice man…..Last night we met the rest of the family with GREAT DELIGHT!!!!!!! Hope they get to read this as THEY WERE WONDERFUL….and the BARTENDER TOO!!!!!!Thank youCathy with a “C”Parking: The waitress told me about the new parking feature with all the tables & umbrellas….told me about Valet parking too!!!!!!!!“
“We moved to Bloomfield 7 years ago and I've seen this steak house all the time but never tried it out..... I wish we had went sooner!! Not only was the service excellent, different waiters and waitresses checked up on us periodically as well as our own waitress while we dined. I had the rib eye no bone (excellent and evenly cooked) with fries and my wife had the filet mignon with cream spinach. We had the empanadas for an appetizer and they were delicious. And for dessert, the chocolate brownie sundae..... Delicious!! The prices are probably the lowest of any steakhouse we've been too in NY/NJ and we've been to quite a few. Definitely look forward to going back a bunch of times!!!“
“Great little staple of the clifton community. Many of the old tavern bars cease to exist, but this one still stands strong.And there's a reason why basements style esthetics and lively atmosphere keep long time patrons coming back.Want a man's cave and can't afford it? This place is the next best thing. From pool to darts, to sports on their many TVs, theres something to keep you around and occupied.Their staff and owners are attentive and friendly. They will keep you serviced and make you feel like one of the family as soon as you open that door.If you're looking for a bar like cheers,"Where everybody knows you name," look no further. Stop in and dedice for yourself.“
“Atmosphere was awesome! Owner is so nice and welcoming. Food was out of this world! Had the garlic butter wings and disco fries. The fries were cheesy and so delicious! The wings were juicy and fresh. Have to say never had wings as delicious as these! Ruuun and get your wings! Yum!“
