The staff is always friendly and willing to take an order for a tray of penne vodka to be ready for us the same day. My family is now obsessed with Munno’s as well!“

“Today my dad and I had Easter Brunch at the Glen Rock Inn. It was amazing! There was a great selection of food. It was fresh, delicious and being replenished often. I have been to many buffets that sort of seem picked over as the day goes on. Not here! We had the last seating and everything was plentiful and fresh. The dining rooms were festive with pastel napkins and flowers. It was also not noisy at all even though every table was full. The staff was very attentive and we were not rushed at all. This experience really made our holiday. We will definitely be back.“

“The food is always delicious, it's made fast , they've never messed up an order & the prices are reasonable , but the service is deserving of 10/10. The owner George is a great guy & the woman who works the register is an absolute angel! I ordered lunch for a lot of guys and the job & sometimes I'll forgot something , she actually found my number & called me back a couple times to confirm / correct my order. Extremely thoughtful & caring very much appreciated!“

“I haven’t been to The Barn since my kids were young, but we visited Abma’s farm today for the hayride with my daughter and granddaughter and stopped at The Barn for dinner after. What a delight! The staff were so welcoming and child-friendly. I have never been anywhere as child-friendly in Bergen County. Their outside seating area is perfect for families with young children in tow. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“

“We just ate there for the first time at the Warren location. We were surprised how busy they were on a Sunday since they are near an office complex. I had a burger, onion rings and a chocolate milk shake. All 3 were delicious. My husband had the hot pastrami and French fries. Both were excellent. We highly recommend.“

“Kenny’s Cafe and Grill has delicious and variety of burgers. They sell sandwiches and hot breakfast items also. Customer friendly and in-door setting. I recommend to try their burgers and sandwiches. You will LOVE it!!👍🏻“

“Hidden Gem with Amazing Flavors and Generous Portions

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Though it might be easy to overlook because of the location, it’s absolutely worth finding parking for, even if you’re coming from a bit further away. The portion sizes are huge for the price—this delicious meal was only $15, and the flavor is out of this world. The meat was so tender, it literally fell apart, and every bite just kept getting better. You can taste the love and care in every dish. It’s one of those spots that may not be packed yet, but once people discover it, I’m sure it’ll be the next go-to. Do yourself a favor and check it out!“

“Good Food and service with a view from the 12th floor. Eddy and his staff will take great care of you. I always eat here when I stay at the Crown Plaza“

“Had a great experience at Cafe 37 in Ridgewood! The kale salad was honestly the best I’ve ever had resh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was outstanding as well; the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Great food and excellent hospitality. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“The food is very good. I love the appetizers and the Greek salad! When there’s music, the bands are great. The staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“Great chicken slices and fair prices 👌“

“Had lunch yesterday, absolutely delicious! Our waitress, Raven explained daily lunch 2-course specials and drink discount. This sweetened the deal. I’m telling everyone I know about Shannon Rose. Definitely coming back every chance I get!“

“Had dinner here this weekend for a nice night out. Food was beyond amazing! The staff was very knowledgeable about their dishes and specials. We ended up with Tuna Tartar, Stuffed Figs wrapped in bacon with salad, and Asparagus with roasted red pepper puree topped with prosciutto for an appetizer. I had a veal chop that was out of this world, my fiancée had seared duck breast, and we finished it off with a slice of delicious carrot cake and decaf cappuccinos. Everything was absolutely incredible, couldn't recommend it more for a nice night out!“

“Enjoyed our dinner there on Sat evening. We were seated in the ballroom as we were there to see a band. Tables were socially distanced, room was nicely appointed, very clean! Loved my Mozzarella Caprese appetizer and my salmon dinner. Drinks were really good and the staff was super attentive and friendly. Masks were worn the right way too!! Great venue!!“

“We have been shopping here as our main grocery store pretty much since it opened. While it is a smaller Whole Foods, it tends to have a good stock of a good variety of items, both fresh and packaged. It is generally clean (with one exception, see below) and most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is an Amazon Locker here, so you can get your Amazon packages delivered to this locker, do your shopping, and then pick up your package all in one trip. There are a two issues I very much wish they would fix. For one thing, the restrooms are consistently not clean. This is a suburban store and doesn't get the volume of customers that an NYC store gets, but they don't seem to be able to keep the restrooms in good order. My other issue has to do with what they choose to stock in a couple of categories. The first is orange juice. I always look for organic orange juice not in a clear container (so as not to compromise Vitamin C). I just want organic orange juice in an opaque container the way it comes -- not pulp-free, not extra-pulp, not with Vitamin D added, etc. They never stock this. My other stocking issue has to do with ice cream. They have all kinds of interesting flavors, several kinds of dairy-free options, etc. but I just want a pint of premium, organic vanilla ice cream, straight up. This can sometimes be found but often they don't have it on the shelf even though they carry all kinds of great brands that would offer it. If only this store remedied these two issues, they'd be five stars for sure!“
