“We went to JRegos for the first time last night. We will definitely be back. The menu was fantastic , staff was attentive and the atmosphere was cozy. The food? Spectacular! Arancini( my husband makes a really good one so we were hesitant to try it but were pleasantly surprised) , bacon wrapped stuffed chix breast and jambalaya. Finished up with a slice of cake. 5 stars! Well done JRego’s“

“We had lunch here and the food was great. The place was clean. We found the music that was playing very loud and harsh for lunch. Other than that, I would go back.

Vegetarian options: Since they have someone who clearly knows how to cook, i feel if you wanted to tweek a dish, it wouldn't hurt to ask.“

“We had an incredible dining experience while celebrating our anniversary tonight. It was our first time visiting and certainly won’t be the last. We had a table outside and our server, Eric, mentioned it was one of the best in the house. We couldn’t agree more as it was a beautiful setting and view. Eric was wonderful - so attentive. Our meals were delicious, we had the lobster pasta and stuffed shrimp, then ended our night with a champagne toast and dessert on the house, an amazing touch of thoughtfulness and hospitality. Exceptional service. Thank you for making our special occasion even more special! We will 100% be back!“

“Went here for lunch with my sister! I couldn’t believe how packed they were on a Monday! No wonder- the food and drink were ON POINT! Our waiter was very attentive and informative on wine. We shared the spinach and artichoke dip- delicious! I had the harvest vegetable bowl and added steak. The flavors mixed so well creating a palette of fresh, and my steak was cooked perfectly! My sister got the burger and a Cesar salad. The dressing was really fresh and lemony! The burger was delish as well! I will definitely be back! All the food I watched going by looked like 10 stars!“

“I'm visiting from out of state, and I like to find places to eat that I don't have back home. I love loaded fries, so this was a no-brainer for me. I ordered the taco fries without jalapeños. The service was great, the presentation was gorgeous, and the taste was excellent. The fries themselves, aside from any toppings, are thick-cut, earthy-tasting, legitimate freshly-made from handcut potatoes. The toppings were generous and flavorful, and didn't taste generic or store-bought. 10/10 would recommend, and I hope to eat here again on future visits to the area!“

“We are from Rhode Island and were in the area to visit Six Flags. Found Marks Restaurant using Google maps for breakfast near me. The food was excellent. The homemade bread was even better. Probably not a common comment, but my view of the kitchen from the register it’s a very clean and neat setup. I’ve worked in foodservice delivery and have always viewed restaurants from back of house which influenced my decision to eat there. I recommend Marks and will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
