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!“

“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!“

“Delicious food. Great service by Sydney! It started with amazing honey bread at the table. Flatbreads yum, especially the one with fig topping. Muscles, tuna tartare, noodle flush, brussel sprouts, calamari salad, and more! All yum! Would absolutely go there again. We had 8-10 people and the service was excellent.“

“I hosted my Ladies Who Lead brunch at The St. Clair yesterday, and I could not be more impressed. From the moment we arrived, the hostess and staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of. A special thank-you to Leo, our waiter, who delivered exceptional service the entire time — attentive, warm, and on point with every detail.

And the food… absolutely delicious.
The French toast, the autumn hash, the oatmeal pancakes, and that biscuit — the biscuit deserves its own shout-out — everything was outstanding. Every plate was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

The aesthetics and ambiance of the restaurant were just perfect for our event: warm, stylish, and inviting. It created the ideal backdrop for a memorable afternoon with an incredible group of women.

I highly recommend The St. Clair for brunch, events, or anytime you want a great meal paired with amazing service. I’ll definitely be returning.“

“So didn't know what to expect,But the food and owner were great had mozzarella sticks they were out of the park and sauce was great Then we each had a chicken sandwich and no complaints It was juicy not dry so all I can say is 5 stars“

The diner serves fresh coffee that pairs wonderfully with any meal, making it a perfect spot for a cozy morning start.

“Great spot for drinks and a drink 🥃 what a great time and place, we well be coming back“

“Delicious cakes and other items ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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!“

“Seasonal dishes fresh and beautifully presented! Friendly and helpful team with excellent dish recommendations :)“

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“What great service at this location. Between our waitress Diamond and GM Natasha, we can’t say enough about them.“

“food and drinks were delicious and fun atmosphere“

“We absolutely love the Glen Rock Inn and have been coming here for while, but this was our first time hosting a larger event—and they exceeded every expectation. We celebrated our son’s first birthday here, and the entire experience was incredible from start to finish.

Gina made the planning process leading up to the event so easy and seamless, and on the day of the party everything ran flawlessly. The food was outstanding and constantly replenished—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it.

A huge thank you to Maggie, who was truly amazing. She was with us before/during/after the party, helped with everything, and was so kind, attentive, and supportive. She made the event completely stress-free for us.

Our guests couldn’t get over the party, the service, or the overall experience. We are so grateful to the entire team and highly recommend the Glen Rock Inn for any event you’re considering. Thank you so much for making our son’s first birthday so special!“

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

“Love the place. Just had a few beers but great and friendly staff“

“I never ever ever ever feel obliged to review restaurants. There are hundreds of reviews that speak and echo anything I would say about the delicious meal I enjoyed. But what is compelling me to post this was truly the regarding the service I received here. It brought me to tears!!! Patricio and Dylan were the most considerate, kind, attentive and understanding waiters I have ever met in my entire life. After dining in the tri-state area my whole life, exploring cities like Chicago and LA through food, I’ve been conditioned and numb to lackluster waitstaff and typically take the approach of trying just to avoid them spitting in my food, but Patricio and Dylan completely floored me in their attention to detail, knowledge, and service that showed me exactly what good waiters could be. Living with GI issues and intolerances, I consistently feel like an inconvenience at restaurants and that the entire responsibility of making sure I don’t fall ill after dining is based on how I modify the menu and pick around my plate. EXCEPT here at Rails with Patricio and Dylan, I had the first care-free dining experience in my life, their thoughtfulness allowed me to be truly present with my family, enjoy the wonderful food being served, and just live in the moment, which is so important to me. Dylan was explicit in the detail of every dish and always helped me navigate what was coming around and being served. Now, back to the tears, when I subtly mentioned in passing to Patricio that I couldn’t eat dairy and couldn’t partake in the birthday cake, he brought me a delicious sorbet flight, unprompted, just so that I could feel a part of the festivities. I can’t wait to go back to Rails to see my friends again. - Emily R. Sartori“

“High Life Skii Club held a 60th anniversary party on Nov 1 with 99 members attending. With an assorted buffet menu and a live band, our members had a memorable evening in the private room of Tavern 73. The cash bar was very busy, and people raved about the food as they left this 4-hour event. Special thanks to Kaya and Gail for the excellent job they did to help to organize and execute this event. They were Best! Thank you, Tavern 73. High Life will not forget you!“

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

“I have ordered takeout from maggies a bunch of times. Tonight I ordered something different. I ordered the Tex Mex salad. I have to say it was delicious not finished yet. Ever time I said I'm done and put it away I ran back for more. We'll done Maggies.“

“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.“

“Amazing stuffed meatballs!“

“We just ate there for the first time at the Warren location. We were surprised how busy they were on a Sunday since they are near an office complex. I had a burger, onion rings and a chocolate milk shake. All 3 were delicious. My husband had the hot pastrami and French fries. Both were excellent. We highly recommend.“

The box office team was incredibly friendly and helpful—from the call center to the castle—and made sure our large party was accommodated and seated together, which we really appreciated.

The energy, service, and overall experience were unforgettable. Highly recommend Medieval Times!“
