“We made a reservation for five people at noon to have brunch. We haven't seen each other in a while. So we did a lot of yapping. The staff was great. Very attentive. They allowed us to stay there for three hours. We were just catching up with old friends who haven't seen each other in a long time. Again, the staff was awesome. The food was awesome. All was good.“

“I sat at the bar and ordered the Penne Scampi with Shrimp. I chose the Corn on the Cob with Parmesan Cheese for my side. The wait staff are very friendly. The price for the meal was only $15 which is a great price for the amount of food I received. Cecilia even made a homemade lemonade for me. Great service! This location is highly recommended!!“

Food was delicious. Serviceb was excellent. Staffers were smiling and courteous. Despite the holiday and free dinner offered to Vets, the wait was minimal and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming!“

“beef stuffed cabbage were amazing. will be headed back soon. great place. highly recommend“

“Oh, this is one of my most favorite places for a cheeseburger. To be honest, the don't look like much, but they taste so amazing. The French fries are also really good - I like to get them well done so they are crispy.

There is a Barnes and Nobel across the street. Behind White Diamond is Tarantella's, which always gets great reviews, so come and make a day of it!

Parking: Limited number of spots, bit usually enough.

Kid-friendliness: Only a few booths, but usually enough. Very kid-friendly food.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a great time at Manny’s Diner! We came with a group of friends for trivia night and it was so much fun — the energy was awesome and we laughed the whole time. The food and atmosphere were great, and Maria, the manager, was so friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend for a fun night out with friends!“

“Chili's always guarantees a good meal. The Clark location is a bit complicated to get to with the strange roadways that seem designed for a much smaller town and traffic that the location gets, but once inside, its well worth it. Great, friendly service and the great menu the franchise is known for.“

“Everything was perfect from the atmosphere to the excellent service to the delicious food!“

“NY Fries was incredibly delicious, loved the Poutine with Pulled Pork BBQ and Cheese Curds. Went to Canada a year ago Jul. where I ate some different types of Poutine. NY Fries does it great. I hope more locations pop up in NJ. I'll be coming back to try more things.“

“Jenn did such an amazing job taking care of me at Ruby Tuesday! It was my first time visiting The Mills at Jersey Gardens, which you can imagine is a very overwhelming experience (especially in December!). I decided to come to Ruby Tuesday to figure out a game plan & decompress and she was nothing short of kind, responsive, and prompt!! I would definitely come back to Ruby Tuesday for Jenn’s service and kindness(:“

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!“

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.“

“New Providence Bar and Kitchen was the perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We came for lunch and immediately the staff made us feel very welcome. The menu, from the drinks to the entrees, put a fun spin on familiar dishes—just enough to be unique without deviating too much from traditional favorites. The calamari appetizer with chili peppers and capers was the best I’ve ever had— flavors were amazing. The Parmesan-crusted salmon was also tasty and my wife loved her meal too. A wonderful experience!“

The managers were very honest and we appreciated them so much. Special thanks to Stephania for running the show and Tara for taking care of me the whole night. I could not have asked for a better venue. Small mishaps did not matter because the staff was on it and had several backup plans. They made my wedding day amazing ♥️.“

“Highly recommend! We had our wedding at Galloping Hill Golf Course in the summer of 2025. The day was everything we could have hoped for and everything went so smooth! We worked with Emily throughout the process and she was great to communicate with. Any questions were answered right away. We wanted a venue that had both inside and outdoor options and loved that it had a covered patio for use all night. Ellis was our day of coordinator and both of our bridal attendants made the day run so smooth. Our guests loved cocktail hour and dinner. There was a great amount of food we went with the seafood station, pasta, Brazilian, and Chinese. We also did the breakfast sandwiches to go for the end of the night! The golf course made great photo backgrounds as well. We had the best time and would do it all over again if we could!“

As for their food, it speaks to why they are usually busy. It is so delicious and portioned to the value you pay. Can't wait to try again.“

“#1 restaurant to take the kids! We always feel welcome and well taken care of. This time was special because we had Daniella as our server. She greeted us with a warm welcome that was genuine, knew how to expedite the meal so the kids were taken care of but we didn’t feel rushed. Thank you!“

Maurice and the team always looked after us and went above and beyond in multiple instances.

Is an absolutely up and coming community with great promise ahead.

Thank you again for everything.“

“Yesterday, I visited this wonderful place. I first stopped by Kaizr, where Angie, a staff member, recommended it and mentioned that her friend Salma works at Buns. I just had to give it a try as well. Salma was incredibly friendly and recommended the Biscoff shake, which was absolutely delicious, along with the Hot Honey Chicken Fries, which were equally amazing.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“
