Restaurants in Camden

“BEST SOULFOOD I HAD IN A LONG TIME”

“Neat as a pin. This place has a great cozy feel and its clean and peaceful. People order from here from pretty far away so it must be good. I deliver for Uber Eats so I figured I'd point that out. I've never eaten here but I intend to. Nice staff.”

“For those of us greedy and appreciate good fresh chicken this is the spot. Now sometimes they might try to sneak one of them little wings but just say big ones only and Wendy(cashier) will hook you up”

“Food was excellent ! Enjoyed the band ! I had awesome time.”

“It's good, the only thing that the security take from you is because you fell asleep or you spilled a beer, but they never ask you if you want a taxi, they just take you out and put you on the street, they don't care about us as consumers, they don't take care of their customers, I hope there will be no other places for them to respect their customers. ???”

“Me and my hubby absolutely love the food from this establishment. We’re literally there every week. The cook is top notch. The bartender Jay is one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had. She makes the best drinks and keeps me laughing all night. The atmosphere is amazing. I was able to throw a birthday party for one of my best friends there and it turned out amazing. Thank you, Manny and thank you Jay always for your hospitality. You both definitely bring the Best out of this place 🙌🏼”

“Donkey's has the best cheese steaks I have ever tasted. The caramelized onions are perfect. Cheese is out of this world.”

“Great atmosphere and even greater food!!!”

“A Delicious Post-Aquarium Stop at Bain’s Deli – Perfect for Families!

After visiting the Adventure Aquarium during our family’s spring break trip to Camden, we stopped by Bain’s Deli for a late lunch, and it was the perfect way to refuel! This spot is conveniently located right by the aquarium, making it an ideal choice for families. I ordered the Dino Sandwich, which was hot, tasty, and absolutely packed with flavor. The portions were huge, so we definitely got our money’s worth. The kids loved their turkey and cheese subs, which were fresh and just the right size for them, while my wife raved about her chicken cheesesteak, saying it was one of the best she’s ever had.
The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home with their friendly service. It was clear they take pride in their food and in making sure every customer leaves happy. Bain’s Deli is a must-visit if you’re in the area, especially after a day at the aquarium. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Camden!”

“Cheesesteaks are amazing ...a little higher then other local bodegas but I have to say worth it. There's so much meat on there and cheese is oozing out. The roll could be fresher. Other than that 4 stars up”

“Excellent coffee and snacks. Wonderful atmosphere. Pleasant and efficient service. A welcome site in Camden”

“If you’re looking for amazing authentic Puerto Rican food, Freddy’s is the place to get it. While I have been to a few other spots, Freddy’s has the taste of Puerto Rico in every dish I’ve tried. The mofongo, arroz con pollo and lechon asado and you can not leave without a mango smoothie! A must have if you want to know what it tastes like if you could stick a straw directly into a mango and drink from it. The only con I’d mention is the location and parking is limited in the parking lot. Although there is side street parking if necessary”

“Delicious pulled chicken sandwich, rice & beans, honey butter cornbread & lemonade. Def. will order again!”

“Absolutely amazing environment full of extremely kind, humble, hard working staff!
The food is spectacular absolutely delicious. My friends and I truly enjoyed our first visit. It was an amazing experience.”

“Man been going to Rocco’s since early 1990’s
Best breakfast and cheesesteak spot in Camden.every time and back in jersey I go check them out ,Gus,momma and the whole crew are awesome”

“The tacos are delicious, authentic, and fresh! The beef Birria tacos and the tacos Al Pastor are delicious! Me and my boyfriend ate them SO FAST! We will be back again!”

“Friendly atmosphere, great customer service, delicious food 🤤😋”

“I am amazed with the wings omg and the mozzy sticks ohhh i enjoyed everything me and my mother ate here a while ago it's a little hidden treasure for me brings back so many memories but the best thing there is cheesesteaks please try you won't regret it 😀”

“CJ is so customer centric!! Today I was by 2x for my customers and they totally enjoyed the fruit smoothies, baked goods, and shaken teas!! My special tea was blueberry & lavender and it was delicious and refreshing on the 100 temp day we had!! I will be back often that’s for sure!!!”

“Service was great and the food might be the best in the city”

“Tee made this first time visit a wonderful experience. The drinks was on point. The atmosphere was real chill and Will was grooving on the one and two's. Will definitely come back.”

“The latest and greatest in Camden, NJ. 2401 River Road”

“It's definitely a sketchy part of the city but their food is really good, and they seem like friendly enough people. My fave thing to order here is the chicken and waffles. The chicken is never seasoned but still good somehow,just needs some salt and pepper (+). Their grits are pretty good as well, not lumpy like some other breakfast spots.”

“This is the all kinds of sandwich spot! Best Ch.Steaks in North Camden
Plus that grill loves it's girls that have been chefing it up there since the 80s 90s through current the Maria's 🤟😋”

“The Wings Were Good But Could Stand A Little More Seasoning And The Egg Foo Yung Was Delish Except That They Put The Gravy On The Patties..Next Time I'll Get It On The Side Like I Like It. The Prices Are Very Reasonable Too..Will Definitely Go ”

“Great venue ! Superb Place”

“I was coming off a visit to Battleship New Jersey and just looking for something passable. I think Victors Pub is looking to fully find its groove. But they had a decent upgrade on traditional pub fare and good service. Betting in a year they will have fully hit their stride.”

“When I say, "I love Crown", I LOVE Crown Fried Chicken. Not all locations though, just this location. The chicken is always good, I don't know what they soak and coat that chicken in but it makes the chicken very flavorful and tender - even the breast are juicy.

Parking: Now listen, you may not get a spot close to the entrance and sometimes not even on that block. But it's worth it to park on the next block and walk up the street, please put something on the meter just to be on the safe side.”

“Had to say this is one of my favorite spots to get Alcapurias, they have the best ones around, no question ask. Freshly made on the spot. Being coming to this little restaurant for years, great people, authentic Puertorican food Like my grandparents used to make. Thank you, guys, for your service and dedication ?”

“yo fui a comer, y me encantó y la comida es auténtica. yo recomendó taqueria el comandante. los dueños son bien amables.”

“Their lemon pepper wings changed my life!!! No need to discuss that Tuesday was my first time ever trying lemon pepper flavored wings. That’s besides the point, lol. I’m just so glad my first time was with Karnival Foods!! Chef was amazing, kind & generous. The wings, OMG!!! I was tempted to keep them all for myself. I had to stop myself from eating them no 🧢 Love these guys, the business & their food. Won’t be my last!”

“Had a ball always a turn up spot the food was great them fried shrimp hit different shout out to the Sunday Chef ice cold non alcoholic beer the bar staff is great love them they all they the bomb and the owner don't take no mess when it comes to drama he put you right out at the drop of a dime”

“I like this restaurant! They serve tasty food, their menu is large, The chief cook in that place is a specialist, I enjoy very much tasting all their food. The food is consistently fresh and tasty, the attitude towards the clients is very good too. I frequently visit this place and I was never unsatisfied. I recommend it with no hesitation.”

“A kind of "Bodega" stocked to the gills, chock full of all of the kinds of things you might want or need from the local corner store: bread, snacks, candy, milk, eggs, cold cuts, hoagies, juice, bottled water. (all with a little markup)+ (convenience costs)”

“I recently visited Guido's Pizza in Camden, New Jersey. I had a cup of coffee and it was delicious! The service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was cozy. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, and the price was very reasonable. I definitely recommend this place for a bite to eat or for a cup of coffee.”

“Venden excelentes productos a buen precio.sus propietarios son muy amables y te brindan una excelente atencion”

“excellente,la major opcion en Camdem,N.J.”

“This spot is in a much needed location. The food is great a bit pricey but it’s ok. The atmosphere in the restaurant is awesome but outside is another whole different story and experience.”

“One of my favorite little spots in Camden for Chinese food and she's a crazy nut but she actually listens to your order and makes it right exactly the way you want it”

“This place is my favored. I go to plenty of restaurants but to this place I constantly return again and again. The team is very chummy and the cooking they cook is so appetizing. I am always happy to have a nice dinner in this restaurant. Highly recommended.”

“My mom says the rice is hard sometimes, but other than that I order from here all the time- due to the fact they deliver and take credit cards..... although you have to literally spell everything out to them cuz they don't speak very good English. Over all it is worth the price”

“It was my first time there and everything I had was delicious. The drinks great, in my mind I can make amazing mix drinks with. Great service, the ladies are fabulous.”

“cambiar el aceite apesta desde afuera se siente que es viejo no usar tanto sazonn Amarillo es prejudicial para el estomago..cosinar mejor el chicharron compre no lo pude comer estabas duro ..ser mas higienico”

“Great vibes!!! Drunks, drinks and more drinks!!”

“What more can I say about this establishment. I was blessed to be in the presence of the owner and daughter of this reputable Italian restaurant. When I arrived to the place, I didn't think much of it. I thought it was just another place to buy a cheesesteak. But oh no, was I caught off guard and was very surprised.

I was greeted very well by both, Mr. Vito(aka. "Bert" as everyone calls him) and his daughter. I went to the easy-to-read menu board and ordered a cheesesteak with fries. While I was waiting on my food, I started talking to Mr. Vito (who doesn't like to be called mister) and his daughter and the stories he told me were amazing.

I love the father and daughter interaction while he was telling me his story, and I love how his daughter was backing up his stories. Mr. Vito explained to me about his cooking methods and how he preps for the day, and while I was waiting on my food to be prepared, Mr. Vito showed me the way he cooks.

His daughter is a real salesman, she introduced me to her father's newest creation, "The Vegi Chicken Burger." It's made from real chicken where he pulls out all the fat and other parts of the chicken.

Anyway, I ordered the Vegi Chicken Burger and it was so good. This chicken burger is not a regular chicken patty that you get from some grocery store or food warehouse, this chicken burger is made in house and it's a perfectly thick portion of a patty.

If you need to change how you eat and want food that will not raise your blood pressure, (Vito told me that he does not add seasonings to his food but will add seasoning upon request) then I suggest you come down to Bert's Steak & Sub House, a real and authentic Italian Restaurant.”

“everything is made fresh delicious”

“Best pizza spot in camden! The pizza is amazing the wings are soooo good always, the cheese steaks are BOMB .. foods all around amazing!!!

Kid-friendliness: Super nice owner and workers”

“I'd say you get what you pay for but it's so much more than that extremely friendly employees and pretty good food not what you would expect for the area that's for sure strongly recommend their chees steak sandwiches.”

“Nice place and decent prices for what you're getting. Friendly service. They don't give u an attitude as other reviews claim. They're polite.
Food tastes good too. Cash, credit or debit accepted.”

“They make really good egg foo young, broccoli with oyster sauce, and general Tsos chicken (never spicy), etc. Their lo mein and fried rice are ok, the pork is always kind of... Gummy, chewy and has a weird texture. They seem really nice though,and if I ever order online they follow all special requests.”

“excellente,la major opcion en Camdem,N.J.”

“Of the Chinese restaurants in Camden, this is one of my favorites, they prepare a good pork fried rice, I also recommend the Peppers steak, tostones, French fries, shrimp lo mein and jumbo fried ”

“The buffalo chicken pizza is awesome.
The baked potatoes with special toppings of choice,the chips or grilled chicken salads are great, cheese steaks delicious, buffalo wings etc. they take cash or credit you can dine in or outside. They have delivery as well a parking lot and on street parking also . You won't be disappointed!

Parking: There is a parking lot in back.”

“I love this Bodega. They are friendly, clean, reasonable prices. Hot food is really good. And if you can grab a dessert before they sell out, you'll definitely be enjoying it. They have plenty of items needed. I recommend it

Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is wide and easily accessible”

“Most of the time it's pretty good. Every now and then though they're just okay. And rarely the chicken tastes rubbery, but maybe 1 out of 10 times. I still risk going there on that off chance, especially for the lunch specials. ~$7 a good-sized portion of rice and meat/veggies, and a can of soda. Take-out only and I always pay with cash.”

“Lots of veggies and big portion. Didn't have vegan beef when I went but I will stop back if I'm in the area! Updated from previous review on 2022-11-21”

“It's always amazing. I go here after my haircut. Everything tastes amazing. Sometimes, the lemons can be rotten and smell bad, but the sauces are also great. I love the Verde sauce.”

“I NEVER even knew the Croc Center had a cafe inside. One day after completing my walk/jog (Ben Frank) I decided to see what DoorDash had to offer in the area, this place stood out because they’re menu had some good name for their dishes lol ALL TOWNS FROM MY CITY♥️ so I had to try! First up for sure was the Pollock sensation and that was so good. Next week I believe I had EastCamden Connection definitely didn’t disappoint either!!! I think it was 10 bucks, and both bowls left me full and satisfied! Wish this create some fresh drinks as well! Check them out if you haven’t.. update pics next go round”

“Been dealing with Lynn's Bakery since 1970.This Bakery has the best cakes ever, I've tried so many Bakerys in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and there's no one like Lynn's Bakery. They even made my wedding cake in 1978.”

“At the moment you step in that place the personel give you an agreeable feeling. Very courteous hosts, it is a friendly restaurant to pass time with friends and colleagues or with your date. Excellent meals, skillful chef, reasonable pay and professional service. Warmly recommended.”

“Todo muy delicioso el café los sandwiches los jugos los pastelillos muy bueno”

“My favorite Birthday dinner every year!!!”

“Food is delicious. new to the area just started working in Camden and when I did get food it was good. nice and hot!”

“Very Convenient and a variable. Great Personal, always with a smile. This Supermarket is one of the best in hole Camden. They sale great empanadillas, sandwich and other delicious food. I mean, for a Supermarket, what else can you ask for? If you know what I mean. Support Local!”

“... grits, y'all !!! ... their grits are on point ! ... & a typical loaded breakfast platter is literally a meal and a half >>> quality & quantity ... Booyah !!! ...”

“Angie is a beautiful soul who has been feeding the whole hood with great service and great food for years I used to work at the barber shop down the street from her store so this has always been my favorite Chinese restaurant she's a hard worker. Her food and family. Are loved and appreciated by the hood.”

“Really good food my husband always goes in and gets us platters they are really good every time we go we are satisfied and happy we went. The platers are really good sizes I can share with my kids if I want everytime we go we are happy, unlike other places they leave you unsatisfied and mad. They are really pocket friendly too. My go to Chinese restaurant.”

“I ordered curry goat and received a platter that looks like chunks of oxtail lamb chops I think. The below pic cannot possible be curry goat! To top it off I called to express my dissatisfaction and was hung up on twice.. I will never spend another dollar with this business!”

“If you are looking for tamales like your abuelita or Tia would make, this is the place! They reminded me of home from the first bite.They make tamales on Saturdays and Sundays! Check them out and you won’t be disappointed.”

“I like the crack rocks ?

Parking: Some people are really possessive about their parking spots and we'll come out and yell at you or try to fight you. I had a bunch of guys get behind my car and say I couldn't leave until I paid the money lol. I told him I was getting that 1 way or another and read the engine and slammed in reverse and I got away. He also lefto watch out for the police. I will park on one side and walk to the other to get my drugs . Because when I parked in front of the set, 2 days in a row cops flew up to me and started screaming at me”

“We arrived at this place for a meeting. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was very nice. the staff members were so friendly and we felt fantastic. The meal was delicious. We had a great time and we will definitely return to this restaurant. Keep it up.”

“great front desk.....Latanya and Kenya are awesome....they gave me a great room!!!!! Loved the The bar!!!!! gave me a great room....great location!!!!!! Loved it!!!!”

“Everything was magnificent, but the security who is in the Bar area must be taught courtesy and respectful manners, I was there and their treatment was very unprofessional, apart from that EVERYTHING WAS MAGNIFICENT!”

“Great Place to hang out with friends outdoors! Workers are all very nice! Owner is Awesome! Great hospitality!”

“I been a JS customer for 2 years now, and I live their pancakes, sausages, and eggs! I always can get a 9AM breakfast in the morning! If you look at the inside, and the outside, people wouldn’t come, but if you taste their food, that’s the best! (Overall 5/5)”

“Big upgrade at this restaurant ... bigger menu, better atmosphere ... service is still a so and so , depending on the day lol.. but overall, great experience..great Spanish food ... between this restaurant, Latin America and La cocina, there is no competition . Every other place is awful or overrated”

“This food cart got me through college. This was my favorite place to eat on campus! Everything I’ve had was delicious and well priced.
Also, I swear it’s not as bad as Mida’s review says it is. In my opinion, it’s not bad at all. But good for him for being passionate about his chicken!”

“As for the atmosphere rating, there's only so much they can do to affect that. They're nice and respectful, even when dealing with a host of rude customers. They remember me well, I know what I like and how I like a lot of my food. I will continue to support their business.

Vegetarian options: So long as you let them know what it is that you specifically want, they are willing to customize it for you, and still do so with a pleasant attitude.

Parking: Parking's on the street in front of, and adjacent to the store.”

“I love this Jamaican restaurant. My to go Jamaican restaurant in New Jersey Camden. I recommend you visit to one of the best Jamaican food experiences.”

“We dined in last night (1/21/25). I ordered the Italian wedding soup, tomato pizza pie with sausage, and my spouse ordered the wings. We were quite impressed. The food came out fast and was absolutely delicious. To top it off, Riccardo came out to talk with us and offered his next level honey spicy garlic bread. I thought it was really flavorful but initially it was too spicy for my liking. But we took it home and I warmed it up in the oven this afternoon and I couldn't get enough of it! It gets better the next day! If you're at Fort Dix and looking for recommendations for pizza, you gotta order Riccardo's tomato pie. Oh and the wings? Top notch, trust us, you won't be disappointed.”

“GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE!! Get the gyro with fries! You won't regret it! Mo is an awesome waiter, btw! Nice place to dine in and find a little respite from walking the boardwalk! Thanks so much! Will be back for sure!”

“So I got the Grilled Steak and rice and beans with salad and guacamole the steak was so juicy tender and the flavor was amazing this is a amazing restaurant and I will be back the staff is respectful and the restaurant is clean the food is cooked fresh right in front of you no complaints”

“I've been getting food here for about 10 yrs +, and always get the stewed chicken & rice or stewed steak & rice.... always so delicious. I tried a couple of other things, but can't remember the name...but was delicious. Their fruity drinks are great too. I haven't been in a few months, so I'm grabbing some today.”
