“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Arrived on path and searched “food near me” saw the pictures of the wings and immediately decided to go here and it lived up to the rating. Everything was delicious, the wings were perfectly crunchy but still very juicy. The sauces were great with garlic parm being my favorite. The chimichurri burger was excellent and the beer batter rings were delicious. Ice cold beer would’ve took everything over the top but a jarrito was a great second choice. Will definitely come back whenever I’m in the area.“

“Been here 2xs, food, service and atmosphere are excellent. Seasonal cocktails. A stranger , i will call Joy, bought us a drink. Thank you!“

“Had a few hours to kill before my flight at EWR. Looked up restaurants near the airport, found this and I’m so glad I did. Friendly staff, delicious Beyond Burger wrap w sweet potato tots, and a deeeeelish freshly made strawberry lemonade. Highly recommend! I’m keeping this place in my fav saves. If I’m ever back in Newark NJ I’m def stopping back. That drink was so perfect for the hot day!“

“Crystal was an amazing server. Was efficient and engaging. I enjoy having servers like Crystal because they create a great dinning experience.“

“Calos Restaurant never disappoints! My absolute favorite is the linguine garlic with chicken and broccoli (yes, a custom order and they always get it perfect 🙌). The calamari is hands down the best, and they even offer a gluten-free option! And let’s talk about the drinks… Omg amazing. The mango lemonade and mango tea are my go-to favorites. 🥭✨ The arugula salad is to die for, and if you’re looking for a weekend treat, their brunch menu is pretty great too! Fresh, flavorful, and always made with love. A must-visit spot in North Arlington!“

“Too bad I live out of state because this is my FAVORITE restaurant in NJ. Wonderful staff and food. Not as noisy as other places because of the decor/layout. The prices seem a little high but when you can't even finish your food - that's a good deal. The menu is phenomenal. If you can't find something to eat here then you are insane.“

“This is my favorite spot for good fresh food and great drinks 🍸
Sal and Joe ,Patty are the best bartenders.
The staff is always pleasantly nice.
Sandy the owner goes above and beyond .
She is so nice all the time.
Im a regularly here and I continue to bring my friends and they like Bask46.
Keep up the good vibe Bask family ❤️“

“One of our favorite restaurants in the area, and that’s including Montclair. The atmosphere is elevated, modern, and has a beautiful ambiance. Something you might come across in the city. I’ve had the Chicken parm here several times and it never disappoints. Great red sauce, generous portion, and reasonably priced. My friends had the bronzino and chicken milanese which they both loved, and they are food critics! The staff is always friendly and attentive. We feel lucky to have such a gem in our neighborhood. Also be sure to try the amazing pastries and desserts from their sister bakery at Lady Fingers!“

“Food was fantastic! We went for lunch and had the fried calamari, shrimp scampi and penne alfredo. Staff was attentive and friendly and brought us fresh bread with dipping oil and fritters after we were seated. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend!“

“This is the second time we’ve had Samar as our server, and he’s just wonderful! He’s so attentive, friendly, and always has a big smile on his face. We came in for the Triple Chocolate Meltdown (which is always a favorite!), but having Samar take care of us made it even better. The service here is always great. Our food comes out quickly, our orders are always right, and even the manager stopped by to check on us. This place really has that cozy, hometown restaurant vibe that makes you want to come back again and again!“

“Been wanting to go here since I was a kid and I finally got to go.

I was not disappointed in the slightest with my experience. The staff was super awesome and friendly. The show and servers were extremely organized and helpful. The experience is most definitely all there and I would go back again.

The merch there is also very very cool.

I would highly recommend this for all families and groups, you will not be disappointed.“

“Amazing stuffed meatballs!“

“food and drinks were delicious and fun atmosphere“

“Awesome. Been here three times. Everything I have had has been amazing!“

“Dinner at Sage is always amazing. Owner Rob and waiter Darren will make your experience here a great one. Try the Tuscan ragu, Chicken Florentine.“

“Small and quaint place nestled in Rutherford. Attentive staff, great food. Will return if i am in the area.“

“A big, delicious mess. That is what I expect when I order BBQ style items off a menu and that's what I received! I stopped by for lunch and ordered the BBQ Beef Brisket sandwich. It was much larger than I expected and I did my best to finish it but did not fully succeed. The meat was overflowing and the sauce got everywhere.

The sides were decent. I loved the slaw but the fries could have used a little salt.

I am in town for a few more days and will definitely be back to try the ribs and some happy hour specials.“

“is becoming a favorite of mine.“

“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“I eat their tasty hamburgers all the time. Friendly people. Very clean. Close to where I live. Very convenient location for me.“

“Thank you Evan, Victor, Gina and the Glen Rock Inn staff for your incredible service at my daughter & future son in law’s party. The food was amazing - everyone raved about it! It was such a great day and you went out of your way to make sure every detail was taken care of before we walked in. Glen Rock is where our story started and it always feels like home at the Glen Rock Inn. I cannot recommend the GR Inn enough for your next party!“

“This is the best Applebees around! The wait staff are always very attentive and friendly. We love the food here. We will always be coming back to this Applebees. Thank you so much. Steven, the manager was so very helpful and Emily our waitress was truly something special!“

“I came here with my family and loved it! The food is sooo good and the portions are great! I had to take it home! The owner is also so nice. Definitely coming back again. My mom who doesn’t like outside food at all lovesss the owners food! Definitely coming back!!✨✨✨“

“Hands down the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant I’ve ever been to! You walk into what feels like a cozy dive bar, but when you ask to sit in the dining room, they take you through the kitchen to the back—and wow, it’s like stepping into a hidden gem packed with memorabilia everywhere you look. I didn’t even know where to start taking it all in!

The owner personally went around to every table, greeting everyone and chatting with us about the history of the place—which alone deserves 10 stars. Every single dish we tried was absolutely fantastic. The baked clams were massive, and the garlic clams in that buttery garlic sauce? I could honestly drink it with a spoon. Then came the steaks—perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

To top it all off, the chef came out to greet everyone too and asked how everything was. It’s such a rare touch that made us feel like family, like we’d been regulars for years. And for the kids—there’s even a fun little scavenger hunt, which is such a cute idea!

If I could give Charlie Bloods 20 stars, I would. This place is full of heart, history, and seriously good food. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Terrific and nostalgic fare. Got Turkey club for my meal with their delicious French fries. The sandwich was good enough to conquer my hunger and I only ate half. Took home the leftovers. My husband had the classic burger with French fries and it was huge and cooked to perfection. He said it was juicy and full of flavor with all the toppings. We both liked that the French fries came in a metal cup container because it kept the temperature longer which allowed us to eat them warm. I chose the green tea iced tea and thought it was perfectly not too sweet. Hubby got plain iced tea and it was unsweetened and terrific too. Prices are comparable to the area with tip just under $60.“

“New Terry’s Cozy Corner offers a delightful, homey dining experience that truly lives up to its name. The food is simple yet delicious, with standout breakfast options like their famous Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a roll, perfectly cooked omelets, and fluffy pancakes. The home fries are a crowd favorite, crispy and well-seasoned. If you're a fan of hearty, classic breakfast fare, this is the place to be. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, thanks to its family-owned operation, where the staff is known for being friendly and attentive. The diner serves fresh coffee that pairs wonderfully with any meal, making it a perfect spot for a cozy morning start. With affordable prices, generous portions, and consistently tasty food, it's no wonder locals come back regularly. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy a relaxed breakfast, New Terry’s Cozy Corner is a must-visit for anyone looking for a comforting and satisfying meal“

“Pamela was great when every time I visit I would love to get her she did an excellent job!! GREAT JOB PAMELA!!!!!!“

“I have never been an Applebees person but I went there with my granddaughter and found that the food menu is better than it used to be. I had the shrimp and sausage with penne pasta. SO GOOD…
The drinks are still a bit “weak” but they were good tasting. The service was good too considering that our waiter had a whole section to work by himself.
Overall, I enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. I will be returning again.“

“Highly recommend Gus’ Last Word. This neighborhood establishment is cozy and chic at the same time. It is a perfect balance of retro and modern vibes. I was comforted by yummy chicken pot pie and unique cocktails. It has a lovely bar, with lounge areas, dining section and outdoor space. Shout out to the chefs, Christian the bartender and delightful Erin who provided great welcome, informed explanations of beverages and food, and great service. I will be back.“

“After the very first time I went here, I didn't stop going back. Very friendly, GREAT FOOD! Amazing atmosphere! Even if they're not doing Karaoke, if you and your friends or family would like to, they will hook it up for you to enjoy your time! Definitely ? a MUST TRY! Sincerely, “

“Amazing food, shakes, and people! I was in town for business and went both nights I was there - Rafael remembered I was going to come back the second night and went out of his way for me! And the Loaded Fries are unbelievably yummy!“

“Westayed at the Holiday Inn before our cruise and liked the convenience of an on-site bar/restaurant. We were greeted by the friendly hostess. The restaurant had great modern vibe with good music & decor. The service was on point and our food & drinks were really good! Portions were generous & prices were reasonable especially for an airport near New York. We ordered the calamari to share which was my husband's favorite. Then he ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich and I ordered the Mediterranean salad added falafel & house made blue cheese dressing & they also brought the vinaigrette which I am glad they did as it really made the dish. We enjoyed all of it! Would highly recommend this place!“

“Great food and a family driven establishment...“

“I haven’t been to The Barn since my kids were young, but we visited Abma’s farm today for the hayride with my daughter and granddaughter and stopped at The Barn for dinner after. What a delight! The staff were so welcoming and child-friendly. I have never been anywhere as child-friendly in Bergen County. Their outside seating area is perfect for families with young children in tow. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“
