“Great service and the food and drinks were delicious 💕“

“excellent food and customer service always“

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“New Providence Bar and Kitchen was the perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We came for lunch and immediately the staff made us feel very welcome. The menu, from the drinks to the entrees, put a fun spin on familiar dishes—just enough to be unique without deviating too much from traditional favorites. The calamari appetizer with chili peppers and capers was the best I’ve ever had— flavors were amazing. The Parmesan-crusted salmon was also tasty and my wife loved her meal too. A wonderful experience!“

“A good, clean,fun & family friendly restaurant and ice cream shop!“

“Trifecta great food great service great atmosphere“

“Nice Irish theme sports bar“

“Very good food and service. Very good beer also. Highly recommend“

“Great bartenders and staff. My wife and I always enjoy our visits here. I gave the atmosphere 4 stars only because there is not much in the area to compare it to, but the experience itself is outstanding every time.

Most everything is made in house, and the bartenders are far from average. Connor is fantastic and always helps make the experience memorable. It is not inexpensive, so be prepared, but it is absolutely worth it. One of the best cocktail experiences around.“

“Amazing food. Had hummus shareable platter. Fresh ingredients and tasted amazing!!“

“Chargrilled not fried ! Everything here is fresh & made to order. Our family has.been going here since they opened in the 1980’s. Everything is excellent!“

“I have been going here for many years. They never disappoint. I am so pleased that they offer breadless option and gluten free breads and wraps for most, if not all, of their sandwiches. Great portions. So many choices. Love this place.“

“Coming here for years. Some food items have gone down in quality, namely the pork chop and mac and cheese. Pork chop used to be really cooked to perfection and moist, however lately it has been dried out and overcooked. Mac and cheese lost the amount of cheese it usually has on it, and noodles were undercooked the previous two times. Must have changed the cooks in kitchen, who knows.“

“Our first time here. We had a wonderful dining experience. Food and desserts were AMAZING! Our server, Kelsey was awesome! I HIGHLY recommend! Prices are reasonable and, you get your money's worth! Can't wait to come back and try different dishes!“

“Great food, great atmosphere. Family owned and they make you feel like family. I was in town and stopped by because it was my dad’s favorite place to eat and do car shows before he passed. Tania and Paul came and talked with me I felt like we were all family. They knew so much about him. Made my day knowing how loved he was. Thank you.“

“Great food and great drinks, very nostalgic!! Our new favorite place. Josh the bartender was great and Christine the waitress went way out of her way to accommodate us!!!!! Look forward to the next visit“

“I highly recommend this place the parking at church street was convenient a 2 minute walk around the corner , the foods and drinks were top notch delicious and refreshing, if your ever looking to go out on a date night this is the place“

“I performed there for my first time tonight and the place was very cool. The patrons were a nice mix, and very responsive to my songs selection. John Lepre LIVE #supportlivemusicvenues“

“As a local DJ entertainer, the Landing has become a venue in which we perform quite regularly. The staff is always welcoming, professional, and accommodating and truly understands the catering business and what it takes to throw an exceptional celebration. It's always a pleasure to work alongside and partner with them for our shared client events. The food is excellent and prices are reasonable.“

“We came at 6 p.m. ,put our name in and were told we had a 20 min. wait. After 20 min. I went to check and was told then that there were reservations ahead of us that had to be seated. If we had been told this we wouldn't have waited. We found this very rude and unprofessional and we will not be choosing sara janes again.“

“We got the Bratwurst at the New Brunswick Oktoberfest. Best I ever had and I've been going to them all over the tristate area for 25 years.“

“Been going here for years with my family. Good food and friendly staff. I also belong to a Car Club and we go there on Friday nights during the car shows and Monday nights in the winter time. Allie is our Bartender. She's the best! 🍻
1/24/2026 Still going to Applebee's Friday night during the Car Show season and most Friday nights during the winter months. Alexa and Kait are our Top Notch Bartenders now 👍🍻. Allie left a while ago.
7/3/2026 Went to Applebee's tonight with my Car Buddies. The Car Show was canceled due to the extreme high temperatures. We had a good time eating at the Bar. Alexa and Meli were our Bartenders. Kait left for sunny Florida 🌞“

“those Rhode Island Wild Goose oysters were superb!“

“We went to Ruby Tuesdays for a quick Friday dinner and was impressed. While the food and atmosphere was great, our server Christopher Roman was top tier! He was very responsive to our request and did everything with a smile. He had a playful yet professional demeanor that made dinner very enjoyable. He was well informed about menu items and... well overall great. Thanks Chris!“

“Stopped in by accident and discovered a goldmine. Driving home to Connecticut, I exited 287 to take a break from rush hour. Nothing like a Buffalo pizza to calm the nerves. I was greeted by a friendly host. I requested a seat at a high top in the bar area , so I could people watch and glance at the game on one of the many tvs. I had a great server , his name was Todd. He explained the menu and walked me through the various pizza selections. He not only knew the menu , he was excited discussing the food. I ordered a Buffalo Pie, it was unbelievable. I wish I saved room for dessert , because the choices seemed so delicious. Next time I’m going through town I will definitely come back“

“Fun Place to grab drinks and a quick bite!“

“My wife and I Tried Buns n Shakes today for the first time . It was delicious. Especially when my wife says something is delicious it’s off the chain. She is extremely hard to please with new foods. I’ve struck out many times lol. Highly recommend Buns n Shakes . We’ll definitely go back.“

“We just spent an amazing weekend at Pendry Natirar. Having been to many 5-star resorts in the New York area, I can confidently say that Natirar still managed to completely surprise and delight me!

The absolute highlight of our stay was the phenomenal hospitality. The guest services and housekeeping team went above and beyond to set up a wonderful birthday surprise for my boyfriend, and every single staff member we encountered was incredibly warm.

Our days were beautifully full because the resort offers an abundance of activities. We absolutely loved visiting the farm, seeing the animals, biking, hiking, playing tennis, and enjoying the spa amenities and the gorgeous outdoor pool. The attention to detail was everywhere, right down to the comforting evening turndown service.

I want to give a special shout-out to Ana at the front desk, as well as Michele and Michael from the bell and guest service team. They were exceptionally friendly and amazingly remembered my name throughout our entire two-day stay!

Just as a quick, constructive note from an NYC perspective regarding the dining: we felt the food fell a bit short compared to the stellar service. Ladd's Tavern had a rather limited brunch selection, and while Ninety Acres was slightly better, it was quite loud, crowded, and the service was a bit slow on Saturday night.

That being said, the overall experience still easily earns a perfect 10/10 for us. The exceptional staff truly made our weekend unforgettable, and we will absolutely be back! 😊“

“Amazing service been going there for as long as I can remember“

“Best seafood soup .so far I've ever tasted“

“We’ve dj’ed here countless times and also played plenty of golf there. I love the staff and venue. Chris and his crew really know how to run a great event nice and smooth. I Highly recommend it and the food is also great! Can’t go wrong with choosing Roycebrook.“

“They make good burgers and fries. If you like fish, they have some varieties here too.“

“We were there today with 3 adults and 7 kids ages 3-9. The staff is always wonderful but they were especially patient and sweet today. We love coming here on the train for lunch!!“

“I’ve been to this place since I was a little girl my parents always ordered from here and now I go w my bf when I can I love their California cheese burger w fries never disappoints me ❤️❤️❤️
