“Great dinner! Great service,,“

“Food is Really Good. Nice Place.“

“Great food awesome staff great owners👍“

“Great little tavern. Food was good and they get a decent size portion. Friendly waitress“

“Very cool spot. Interesting, creative menu, really nice array of house cocktails which are also creative. Good energy, good music, and the layout works really well - the bar area has its own vibe and good seating options, from booths to hightops. It's fun!“

“We had a great time here. The staff and the patrons were all so nice. Osito was a big hit and we will definitely go back!“

“Favorite local bar! The boneless wings are the best!“

“We went last night to celebrate NYE at Rosie's... the food was delicious, however we did not get our dinner until 10:45. We arrived at 8:30. In fact, our table was last to receive each course of the meal, and it was just too slow. The bill for 4, with tip, was $650, which is too much to receive such poor service.“

“We had a great time a group of us on a Sunday! John was a really great bartender! And the drinks and food did not disappoint.“

“We discovered Marley's 2 weeks ago and visited again today. The service is friendly and efficient but the reason we went back.....the wings!! So many to explore! Try the key lime garlic. We WILL be back again soon.“

“We held my mother and her twin brother’s 75th birthday in the Patio Room on Friday evening. Everything was perfect. The food was wonderful. Everyone was stuffed! My favorite was the shrimp and scallops, my husband’s couldn’t get enough of the prime rib! Jonathan and his team took such great care of us. He was so attentive. I have no idea how he remembered what everyone was drinking because we were getting up and mingling, but he managed to make sure everyone had a drink in their hand. Being next to the pizza oven when it was below freezing made it so cozy! I would absolutely recommend Cinders; a great time was had by all.“

“our first time last night and we will absolutely be back ! very helpful and friendly waitress (Joanne) - our food was delicious ! plenty of gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options. great atmosphere!“

“Good food, great service, cool atmosphere.

We had a few beers, The cauliflower wings, a Burger, and the steak rice bowl.

Everything was pretty good. The rice bowl was a stand out.

Really neat place to eat, right in the middle of a bowling alley. Large selection of beers.“

“This is literally the divvy-est bar in all of NJ. Possibly America.I was shocked to find soap in the bathroom tbh. But it was amazing. This place is where dreams are made. This is what Karl Marx and other less aggressive socialists wrote about. This is a place where we can all come together despite your socioeconomics, education, or any other dividing factors and just be. Amazing. I’d give this place 6 out of 5 stars.Also, karaoke every other week.“

“Mucho ambiente..excelentes cantantes..“

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

“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!“

“Es un excelente lugar, con un ambiente familiar y una música genial, pero no entiendo la necesidad de exigirle a los clientes un consumo base para poder ubicarse en una mesa , ya que varias veces me ha tocado pararme de la mesa con mi pareja,pedí una cubeta de cerveza para los dos , pero me exigieron comprar dos para poder permanecer en la mesa, soy un cliente habitual y no es razonable esta medida ya que igual estoy consumiendo. Gracias“

“Had the best time celebrating my sons 40th birthday. Booked an adult party our server Mack was excellent she kept checking on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. The pizza was fantastic and all the staff was friendly.“

“Hosted a company event there, and it couldn’t have gone any better! Planning was super efficient and easy. Great packages to choose from and very willing to customize. Service was great and food was outstanding! Everyone had a lot fun with the sport simulators. Was extremely happy from start to finish! Highly recommend!“

“Love the appetizers and the great bourbon selections“

“The new floor is DONE!!! I know that our dance family is beyond excited for this to be done.... 7/10/2025 was our first time on the new floor & I know that everyone was thankful & enjoying the new dance space!! Looking forward to more dance nights at The Nook!! Come see Michelle & have a drink & enjoy!!“

“Had some of the best wings. Try the pumpkin Beer also.“

“Great food! Had a delicious Seafood Pot.“

“Looked like a local favorite pretty full on Monday night. The service was excellent the food great as usual. We had the Sante Fe salad with crispy chicken and South western egg rolls, Delicious!! Also tried the Cabo margarita and the El Presidente margarita. The glasses could have been a little larger guys barely two mouth fulls on the Cabo. overall good experience we would definately return.“

“My corporate office is close by so I have been here several times over the past few years. As of this week they rolled out a new menu and I was definitely impressed. The selections are more varied and the quality also seems to have improved. I will say the staff and drinks have always been top notch, so no improvement needed there. Happy to see the menu change and save myself some DoorDash fees on my future trips!

PS - make sure you see Micael (Mickey) if you come!“

“We have eaten there several times and it is always delicious. We want to give special appreciation to Rachel, your manager, for her special caring and sensitivity to our needs. In today's world, where one struggles, especially if old like we are, to speak to a live human being, when you are able to converse with a person who is actually listening to what you said, this is rare. Add to that delicious fresh food and you have a winner. Tonight we had fresh large shrimps with a most delicious home made cocktail sauce. Fresh crab cakes with a fabulous remoulade, and a chocolate mousse to die for as dessert. We ordered too much and have to save some for tomorrow. We live in town, and are happy to see the names of so many out of town visitors appreciate Chesapeake Tavern.“

“Great time last night. Oir group loves this place“

“Buen lugar buena comida buena atención hasta que llega la gentusa con su celular a todo volumen como si a uno le importara sus conversaciones tengan respeto a nadie le importa sus conversaciones“

“Ron's did our banquet of 160 people and everyone said the food was excellent. We found the staff on time with the food, extremely helpful, fairly priced and very generous with amounts. We will be using Ron's going forward. Thanks so much, Ron, it was great!“

“I'm sorry ? didn't know that you would like me and not my friends but and to be able to to see you all the cleaning products I have to go with is one of the slit in our house ? I have a job for my mom who is going to have a job for her and I have a lot of stuff to do and I don't want to go to a wedding ? I don't want to make her feel comfortable with it her own style and not just her own clothes and she will be on time ⌚ and“

“Table 42 is a traditional Italian staple and a true gem in Dover. While we will always miss Chuck, we hope the new owner preserves the incredible ambiance and vibe that keeps the regulars coming back! There's simply no other place like it. A huge part of why we return is Mauricio the Chef, who makes the best pasta fagioli, and the wonderful servers like Joannie. We go for that unique feeling as much as for the fantastic food. Table 42 reminded me of Cheers, I truly hope it doesn’t lose its uniqueness.“

“Wonderful meal and service ! Highly recommend!!“

“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! 🍷“

“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.“

“​Nine Acres Restaurant delivered an exceptional dining experience. The food was incredible, and the service was dialed-in perfectly. A special shoutout to Sam, our server, whose knowledge and attentiveness made the night seamless. The Lamb Chop... wow! Definitely recommend this dish! They also went out of their way to mark my Wife's birthday with a candlelit comped dessert, a small gesture that meant a lot.“

“Love it. Amazing place. Great people great food. So much fun“

“exceeded expectation. highly recommend.“
