I would definitely recommend Lucky Bones! I’m visiting New Jersey from Portland, Oregon. Let me tell you, this is the best restaurant I have been to in a long time. First of all, I completely understand why it was so busy, even with all the chaos of people we were seated quickly and taken care of by our amazing waitress. The staff is very friendly, food was absolutely amazing and brought to us within 15 minutes. Loved it!

We had an amazing time at Lucky Bones! The food was so fresh and delicious. Our waitress Bonnie was the best! She even brought us hot chocolate with whip cream and it added just the right amount of sweet to end our night. She was very kind and attentive the entire night. Thank you for such an awesome evening!
