“We had the most wonderful experience at Saltwater Grille on Saturday night! After accidentally liking the Facebook page for this restaurant rather than a similarly named one in my town, I’ve spent the last few months looking at the posts and thinking I have to visit this place. The opportunity came to bring someone special there for his birthday and it was just amazing. Having eaten probably thousands of meals in restaurants I can tell you that I met the best server ever - Suzy. She was attentive without being intrusive, personable without being over the top and she has an amazing sense of humor. The food was outstanding as well which rounded out a perfect evening! We’re already planning another visit up when it’s warmer and we can enjoy the patio and live music!!“

“My hubby took me here for a breakfast date this morning, and they did not disappoint. The French toast was made perfectly. It was crisp in all the right places, tasted like butter, vanilla, and cinnamon, all the right things. And the hashbrowns were absolutely delicious! Whatever you are doing, keep that up! The service was awesome, the server was very pleasant and kind. It is nice to see a genuine smile when out and about. I am taking my daughter to lunch in the upcoming weeks. Thank you again!“

Whether you're grabbing breakfast, lunch, or a quick bite, Jackie’s delivers every time. Friendly service, generous portions, and a cozy, no-frills atmosphere make this place a true local treasure.

“I’ve been to a lot of New Milford’s restaurants but I have to say the service at The Abbey was exceptional and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. Given how many eateries don’t survive over time; they are the model for a sustaining and thriving food service business. My wife had the Chicken Cordon Bleu, and I had the Chicken Caesar salad. Both were excellent and the portion size and portion per price was very good. Even the water tasted excellent. If I had one complaint it would be that the noise level was a little high, but it is a pub style restaurant where you can watch a game.“

“Great burgers! Friendly service“

“The handcuffs and the ambiance“

“People who forget America is the Land of Freedom! Freedom of choice in Food, Speech and where you Eat. If Dotties wants to put up a Trump sign so be it! Don't look at it. Eat you delicious food and thank God for Freedom. Respect their beliefs as they yours. Get over it!“
