“This has quickly become my new favorite spot. The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure you feel right at home. The bar has an awesome partnership with the Smoke Shack BBQ across the street, making it even better. The vibe is laid-back, and they offer a great selection of craft beers, wines, and a wide variety of whiskeys and tequilas. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a good drink.“

“The Sidedoor is under new ownership, and I’ve already seen some really positive changes! It’s in a great spot, and they’ve started adding food and making little updates that make a big difference. The vibe is super inviting! It’s definitely a place where anyone can feel welcome.

If you’re into beer, pool, darts, shuffleboard, and just a good time in general, this is the place to check out. Excited to see what’s coming next for The Sidedoor!“

“If you’re in Wanaque, Flips is the dive bar you need to check out. Tucked off Ringwood Ave, it’s got cold beers, fast, friendly bartenders, and Joe, the owner, is simply the man.

The vibe is classic dive—dim lights, jukebox, and regulars who make you feel like family. But the food? That’s where Flips stands out. Chef Robert takes dive bar staples to the next level crispy calamari, gourmet burgers, and a sizzler steak that could rival any fine dining spot. All made with locally sourced ingredients and a chef’s touch.

The daily specials hit the mark, and the Bloody Marys are on point. If you’re looking for a dive bar with heart and flavor, Flips is the place to be. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Fun time local bar nice people great bartenders“

“Dante’s has truly transformed the old Alexis Steakhouse space with a modern, refreshing facelift and a fantastic menu to match. It’s the perfect spot for happy hour, a night out with family or friends, or even a business lunch. One of the standout features is their exclusive upstairs party room, which accommodates 75+ guests—ideal for baby showers, bridal showers, or business meetings. The space includes a flat-screen TV for presentations or party highlights, plus its own private bathroom and bar. Convenience is another plus: Dante’s offers plenty of parking and is located near all major highways (Rt. 46, Rt. 3, Parkway, Turnpike, and Rt. 80). The cozy bar area is great for catching a game, and their intimate lounge space comfortably seats up to 10 people with private wait service—perfect for small gatherings. I’ve enjoyed Dante’s for everything from meeting friends and business lunches to happy hours and private lounge get-togethers. The food never disappoints: the prime burger is massive and made with quality prime rib, the tuna tartare is fresh and loaded with avocado, and their homemade chips are addictive. The clams casino are packed with flavor, the steak sandwich features premium cuts, and the pear salad with grilled chicken is a delicious option if you’re looking for something lighter. Check it out—you won’t be disappointed!“

“I came here on Mother's Day to celebrate with my parents. If you want outdoor seating when there is a band, arrive early because there are only 3 or 4 outdoor tables. I tried to order lunch at 12 but was told it isn't served until 1 pm. When I politely asked if they could make a grilled chicken salad, the cook said no problem. Great customer service! Food was good too. Next time, I should try the Irish breakfast- a beer, a shot of whiskey, and bacon; it's actually a great idea. 😂“

“food is delicious my favorite is the pork chop ...burgers 🤤 the vibe is neighborly great staff❣️“

“Great carribean food like nowhere else, and the host of a great Wednesday jam that’s been going on for over 20 years.“

“The home of the Bergen Wildcats for decades! Great place and great people!“

“This place was fantastic! My husband and I went there on a whim. And we are so glad that we did. We love the ambience, it looks like a country cottage. And the service was awesome. She was there to make us comfortable and happy.....which she did. And the food was the piece de resistance . We had stuffed zucchini blossoms for our appetizer and they were perfect. Then we got a salad, of which the house dressing is the way to go. And then we had an order of snow crab legs that were PHENOMENOL! And we also ordered the Pasta dish which had deep sea scallops and shrimp with a vodka sauce over angel hair pasta. Which was also incredibly good. We left there feeling very happy and satisfied! Thanks Country Cottage! We DEFINETLY will be back. =)“

“Loved it, diffently going back, and they cater to vegetarian, and to anyone who dont drink alcohol, they have a great selection. Now my waiter, Mo, was the best. She went above and beyond, i really appreciated it. This will be my new, go out with friends and watch the games spot“

“It was the 1st time at Maggie's and it won't be the last! Fast service (but not rushed), hot food and we took our dessert to go! Alyssa, our server, was amazing and made sure all of our dietary wishes were met! Stop by for a drink - a meal - or just to say hi to the super friendly staff!“

“Awesome atmosphere, delicious food, awesome service, love trivia night, highly recommended!!!“

“Nice place for the kids to enjoy a party“

“I don’t usually shop here but I WILL absolutely shop here for now on. I really enjoyed the quality of the service I received from John and Matt. John is very friendly and social. You end up feeling like you know the guy for years…. Matt is the owner, who undoubtedly lead me to select some excellent choices of wine, that my husband and I truly enjoyed. I’m looking forward to futures opportunities to shop (and learn) thank you“

“Ate here for the first time with my sisters, and we had a fantastic experience. Our server, cherrylynn, gave us a run down of the menu and was very attentive. We had the jerked chicken wings and yuca fries and were in love. Would be dining here again“

“The staff was all very nice and attentive. The food was so delicious. The drinks were really good too. I got the roasted duck special of the day. The duck was still crispy even with the sauce on it. The tiramisu was also delicious, but I expected that from calandras. It's a fancier restaurant than I expected it to be, but the food was really really good.“

“Good food. Attentive server. Good value.“

“Deff a great little spot to go..the new owners really fixed the place up nice and made it a comfortable hang out.the prices are great and the staff is super friendly and pleasant to talk too. I deff reccomend this place to be used as ur liquor and ciggerette store and or your little hangout to shoot some pool watch some TV and have a drink“

“What a fun time sitting outside with my family Great food great waiter great scenery Love it“

“Great food, fast service. Been coming here for years. Don’t mind the 80’s music but they have it CRANKED. Came in for breakfast and couldn’t even have a conversation with my wife as Journey played in the background.“

“Calandra's is a gem. We dine there whenever we visit New Jersey. The food and service are superb with a rich variety of Italian and American favorites. The wine list is varied and the owner has significantly modernized the dining area. Their pastas and seafoods are particular treats.“

“I never ever ever ever feel obliged to review restaurants. There are hundreds of reviews that speak and echo anything I would say about the delicious meal I enjoyed. But what is compelling me to post this was truly the regarding the service I received here. It brought me to tears!!! Patricio and Dylan were the most considerate, kind, attentive and understanding waiters I have ever met in my entire life. After dining in the tri-state area my whole life, exploring cities like Chicago and LA through food, I’ve been conditioned and numb to lackluster waitstaff and typically take the approach of trying just to avoid them spitting in my food, but Patricio and Dylan completely floored me in their attention to detail, knowledge, and service that showed me exactly what good waiters could be. Living with GI issues and intolerances, I consistently feel like an inconvenience at restaurants and that the entire responsibility of making sure I don’t fall ill after dining is based on how I modify the menu and pick around my plate. EXCEPT here at Rails with Patricio and Dylan, I had the first care-free dining experience in my life, their thoughtfulness allowed me to be truly present with my family, enjoy the wonderful food being served, and just live in the moment, which is so important to me. Dylan was explicit in the detail of every dish and always helped me navigate what was coming around and being served. Now, back to the tears, when I subtly mentioned in passing to Patricio that I couldn’t eat dairy and couldn’t partake in the birthday cake, he brought me a delicious sorbet flight, unprompted, just so that I could feel a part of the festivities. I can’t wait to go back to Rails to see my friends again. - Emily R. Sartori“

“The pierogi appetizer was 10/10 delicious! Great location! And our server was Sonya and she was helpful, happy and attentive ! So many desert options as well!! The mint chocolate is what we went for and again 10/10!! My cousin and I will be back!“

“We've been Wayne residents for three decades and somehow missed this culinary treasure! The warm welcome and attentive service set the tone for a fantastic meal. The menu is a delightful surprise, catering to all tastes. The Potato Cheese Tots and Bacon Mac and Cheese were crowd-pleasers, while the French Onion Soup, Pork Scallopini Marsala, Filet Mignon, Filet of Sole Capricciosa, and Chicken Toscana were simply delicious. A must-visit for anyone in Wayne!“

“NOTHING... The service was horrible and the wait time incredibly long. Then on top of all that they AUTOMATICALLY added a 20% gratuity to our bill and when the bill came there was a space to add a gratuity... so if you don't look at your bill and just add the gratuity you got RIPPED OFF“

“Jenn the bartender is great“

“Our server Anna was amazing. We were a party of 10 and she did not write down our orders but everything came out as expected. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was giving holiday vibes. Family friendly. Lots to choose from on the menu and the prices were on point.“

“the steak/Cobb salad was great!“

“What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing, I even had the eggplant which I haven’t touched in years. Great atmosphere. Polite wait staff and the owner was a sweetheart! They really try hard to make your meal memorable. I don’t normally write reviews but I had to for Cypress Tavern. All of our guests had a great things to say about the meal and the service.“

“Buena comida latina“

“I give Chili's three stars for food because not a big Chili's fan, we go there for someone's birthday each year and there's no issues. Burger was blah. It's a change store restaurant so what you expect is what you got. Nothing bad.“
