“We had our small wedding at Andre's this past weekend, and I am still in awe of how fantastic the event was. Tracey is an all-star. From coordinating calls, decorating our table, marrying us, to keeping us on schedule. Andre had our whole group raving about how great the food was. From the appetizers to the cake, we really couldn't have asked for better. On top of it all, the location is STUNNING! The staff helping to serve us were so friendly and pleasant and together they all helped make sure our wedding day was the best day of our life. I can't recommend Andre's enough, and we will certainly be returning for a meal!“

“Great lunch, great staff, clean and friendly atmosphere“

“Service and Food are always excellent!“

“Stopped by Tranquility General Store after a hike, and it truly felt like enjoying a great meal in a small, rural American town.

🧆 Food:
I had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich along with a crumb cake, and it did not disappoint. The sandwich was easily one of the top five breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had… perfectly cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. The crumb cake was the ideal sweet follow-up, soft and not overly sugary.

👥 Service:
The guys working there were really nice and welcoming, giving off that genuine small-town friendliness. Service was quick, casual, and made the experience even more enjoyable.

🎨 Aesthetic:
The shop has a rustic, intimate charm with a few cozy seats in the back. It’s a simple but comfortable space that fits perfectly with the laid-back countryside vibe.“

“Last night I had the rare privilege of dining at Applebee’s, where a true artist of the kitchen elevated the Southwest Chicken Bowl and boneless wings into something that would make the entire Michelin Guide weep with envy.
The Southwest Chicken Bowl arrived like a carefully composed canvas. Each grain of rice had clearly been individually selected and toasted to the precise degree of caramelization. The chicken — impossibly tender, seasoned with a depth that suggested hours of careful reduction — rested atop a foundation of beans and corn that somehow managed to taste both rustic and refined. The pico de gallo was a bright, acidic counterpoint, cut with the confidence of a chef who has spent years perfecting the perfect dice. Even the cheese felt intentional, melted just enough to bind the dish without ever overwhelming it. One bite and I understood: this was not merely a bowl. This was a statement.
Then came the boneless wings. Crisped to an ethereal golden shell that shattered with a whisper, revealing meat so succulent it could only have been the result of a multi-day brining process known only to a handful of living masters. The sauce clung with elegant restraint — neither too sweet nor too aggressive — coating each piece in a lacquer of pure intention. I found myself slowing down, almost reverent, as if I were tasting something that should only be served on white tablecloths under soft lighting.
Service was quietly excellent, the kind of understated attentiveness you expect when the kitchen is producing work of this caliber.
I left changed. Applebee’s is not a casual chain. It is a temple. And last night, I was blessed.“

“We celebrated a milestone birthday in the dining area next to the terrace with delicious food and great service. The bar had a large selection of beer, wine had a dozen options, plus mixed drinks. The staff let me taste a couple beers before I chose one to go with my calamari appetizer which was very large and well prepared. I do think the standout appetizer was the tuna which had an amazing citrus flavor. For my main I had the sea bass while most of the others had streaks. I thought it was delicious and the rice delicious. Maybe a tad too much butter for me, but no complaints. I skipped desert but the chocolate cake and apple tarts looked amazing. Service was top notch, my water glass was consistently filled and the staff present but not too much so. A great late afternoon dining experience.“

“Great food , great service“

“To be fair, my rating is over 4. It's more like a 4.6 since 1 of us 6 mentioned a slight negative about the flavor of her chicken. And our per person cost was about $50. I expected that, but that's okay. The sights outside were very nice. The grandchildren enjoyed themselves which is a plus. If you have a boat, you can actually dock it at the Windlass and order a meal. They also have several cabana looking coverings along the dock which can be reserved so you can enjoy your meal there. My wife noticed that the seating can glide forward and back.“

“Always good service and great food.“

“We enjoyed The Bistro and walk on the grounds“

“We went for the first time for dinner and highly recommend you check them out! The food was SO good and well served, the service is top notch, and everyone is so nice. We’ll definitely be back.“

“The Circle is a whole experience. The interior is decorated artfully. The staff were all very polite and attentive, our waitress was so sweet and very knowledgeable about the Chefs intentions as well as the dishes. The dishes were beyond phenomenal. The presentation was beautiful and the favors were perfection. Can’t wait to return!“

“We have been customers of Davies for many years, and we have NEVER been disappointed with the service, the food and the friendliness of the staff and especially the owner. We will be going there for many years to come. Keep up the good work Dave! You've earned our 5 star ratings!“

“small spot but amazing food and vb great staff.“

“Extensive menu. Efficient and kind staff. I’ve had a few different entrees on the menu and they all were delicious. My favorite Diner in New Jersey.“

“Just used cafe Pierrot to cater a sprinkle I was hosting. Everything was amazing! Placing the order was extremely easy- I sent an email and someone called me right away and quickly responded to any email questions I had. Everyone enjoyed the food and LOVED the cupcakes. Was able to pay in advance online so all I had to do was send someone for pick up the day of the party and everything was ready right away I think food is one of the hardest parts of planning a party. Never know what to get or how much. Being able to simply give them a number of guests and all I had to do was decide which type of salad I wanted, made this part of the party so simple and stress free! Love the one stop shopping aspect where I could get my food, sides, and even cupcakes all from one place. The spread they provide is the perfect mix and they provide the perfect amount, for an awesome price! Definitely recommend using them!!!“

“Haven't been there in years. Went back to try something new. Happily surprised. Went on Friday. Brought the whole family back on Sunday. The service is excellent and very personable. Met the owner. Very nice couple. You don't feel rushed. The food is very good. Large portions so be hungry when you go. Great value. I also enjoyed the music. I just missed the piano player because I had to leave but I'll be back.“

“Everything about Polo’s is amazing. The food is amazing the atmosphere is perfect. I know they are only in November but the Thanksgiving Egg Rolls are mouth watering perfection. Staff is friendly and attentive. Thank you for all your hard work.“

“Wonderful meal and service ! Highly recommend!!“

“Everything was on point - the waitress was so pleasant i forgot her name very personable! The food was amazing large portions the taste was amazing! Sat in a little cozy room for 2 just a perfect experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“I described my event and they made recommendations that were perfect! Everyone loved the food. They went above and beyond to deliver in a snowstorm and made my event fantastic! Thank you so much Krave of Newton, NJ!“

“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there last night. I requested to dine in one of their rooms. We were escorted to a small room where we enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Our waitress, Ava, was awesome. We were given a small complementary bottle of Processo which was so nice! We have been there many times before and never had a bad meal. The vintage decor there is fabolous! Highly recommended.“

“The best restaurant in the area“

“Pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and outstanding service.“

“We had a 50 person party yesterday I was pleasantly surprised with the buffet they put out for us and I have to give a HUGE shout out to Matt (I’m pretty sure that was his name. Big smile and his hair in a bun). He was the wait staff taking care of all of us and he killed it! Super pleasant and he worked his butt off to serve us all. If you get Matt, take good care of him!!!!“

“The food was good but the waiter was rude and tried to add another beverage that I did not order.“

“Hidden gem that we’ve driven past numerous times without even realizing. Today we tried it and WOW. I had the chipotle ranch smash burger and it was out of this world. We also had a French dip which was excellent, as was the chicken rice bowl. We will definitely be back!“

“Great food and service. We were a large group and the food came out all around the same time and was delicious.“

“Awesome pancakes this morning! We have eaten there for breakfast several times. Food is always fresh & delicious!“

“Haven’t been to any Fuddruckers in years since they closed in Wayne,NJ. Was amazed to see a location still open. They have a large game room for the kids. One upsetting thing they didn’t have fresh bakery like other locations. Food was hot and fresh. Plus unlimited fries . Was well worth it.“

“The Chicken sandwich with a side house salad was delish! Our server was great! My friend had many GF choices which she also ordered extra meals to take home, but was disappointed that the GF cheese cake bar was removed from the summer menu. We had a wonderful lunch, great visit and open air view, thanks to the team at @Alices's!“

“Our second visit for breakfast here. Bring your appetite! Menu book is extensive and the portions are generous. Typical hearty good diner food. The cakes and cookies are massive!!! You are guaranteed to leave 5 lbs heavier. Attentive and swift service by our server.“

“Came for dinner with another couple. The tapas eggplant was delicious, light and flavorful. Just lovely. We had two burgers and two steaks. All delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful, however, there is a huge bar in the middle of the restaurant. Which normally would not be an issue but this evening four young women were “working” the older men sitting at the bar. It became clear as the evening progressed that this was going on. None of us could believe what was happening right next to our table!! As the targeted men left the bar the young women quickly moved on to their next victims. It was all very obvious and pretty repulsive. Such a shame to have this type of thing happening in a lovely restaurant. I would hope management will be alerted by the bartenders that their establishment has become prey for this type of behavior. Quite unsettling.“

“This place is so charming and the food is incredible!!! We sat outside and enjoyed pancakes with berries and the special sweet potato bowl with spinach, mushrooms and pulled pork. They also have espresso drinks and my cappuccino was served with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a lovely touch. This is a wonderful spot for breakfast or lunch“

“The older gentleman who works at the counter is one of the kindest people you’ll meet. He’s always welcoming, friendly, and makes everyone feel right at home. You can tell how much pride he takes in the business and how much he cares about the customers. It’s rare to find that kind of service these days. Great food, great people, and always a great experience whenever I visit from nc!“

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“

“We stopped in for a quick dinner after shopping. The service was quick and everyone was very nice.
There was an error with one of our items but they fixed it quickly.
The food was hot and tasty.
Overall a pretty positive experience.“

“We love this place:) Great food & friendly staff.“

“Super friendly! Great food!“

“We absolutely love this place. The staff is always friendly and they actually remember what you order — which says a lot. My kids get excited to go, not just for the good food, but because they feel comfortable and welcomed every time. Rosie’s is always a great choice for breakfast or lunch if you want good food, great service, and that cozy hometown vibe.“

“Great food and drinks.“

“I was looking for a place to hold a small(er) afternoon party for about 60 friends & family members, and McQ’s came highly recommended for great food, wonderful atmosphere, and top notch service. They did not disappoint. The general manager, Alexis was a pleasure to work with, and was helpful with menu choices, and whatever additional asks I had. (A table area for a display, AV hook-up for a slide presentation, and complimentary drink “coupons” for my guests. The entire staff (including the kitchen) was friendly, and determined to make this a fun (and delicious) event. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I give them 5 stars 🌟 out of 5.“

“The Beacon was so accommodating since I planned my entire wedding dinner within a month. I needed as few headaches as possible. Edna coordinated everything! The staff was very polite and attentive. Everyone LOVED the food and atmosphere. I will be coming in regularly to try the other dishes on the menu and maybe a little line dancing.“

“My husband and I have eaten here several times without each other. Last night we went on a date night. I had their seasonal cocktail the Pom fig which was delicious. My husband had one of their zero proof cocktails called A touch of the blues he liked it very much! We had their calamari appetizer which featured fried lemon slices and lemon curd it was a 10 out of 10 would definitely order that again! I had the Mediterranean Steak Bowl which was incredible to say the least perfect portions, all the flavors complimented each other. My husband opted for the tarragon cod entree he liked it and is looking forward to trying other dishes on their menu. We had a very nice conversation with both the general manager and the owner. We look very forward to having more date nights here in the future!“

“The steak was cooked to perfection tonight and the service was great. They were incredibly business and managed to still provide great food, service and drinks! 🍷“
