“I had the pleasure of being a wedding photographer at this venue a few weeks ago, and it was truly incredible. The venue features a rustic, organic field enhanced with modern touches that are simply stunning. The event hall is fantastic, and the natural sunlight pouring in is a great advantage for any occasion! I really appreciated the natural colors and how they complemented the country decor. I also got to sample some food, and the cornbread was phenomenal, while the cream and cookies left me wanting more. I highly recommend booking this place—10/10!“

“The Love of Grub is top notch in food and service. This is a business run by people who CARE, both the owners and the team that works there. I come in most weekends for their outstanding food, but I recently had a private event there that couldn’t have gone better. If you go to a catering hall, you will get service, but none of the heart that Tracy (the owner) and her team will have when taking care of you and your guests. My friends and family all had the best time. We were comfortable, the food was outstanding and all made from scratch, and we had so many options to choose from. 100/10, book them for your private event. Thank you team Love of Grub!“

“I grew up with The Corral… best fries with cheese and sauce! I moved away and when ever I come back I stop in, breakfast, lunch, or dinner I make sure to stop in for a friendly chat and a delicious meal.
However, I stopped in this weekend and i’m sad to say it was disgusting! What happened? New owner? & a New cook? I don’t know but they wrecked our order cheddar cheese on everything was terrible! Fries with cheese and sauce, with cheddar cheese? Terrible! That cheese stiffed up instantly, the sauce was flavorless.
Really ruined our experience!!! Hope it was a fluke and not a change in recipe!“

“My brother and my nephew love going to this pool hall, however every time we go they stop it playing only rap and bad rabbit music, before there was all kinds of music where there was a good atmosphere, but lately the music leaves a lot to be desired . But in the end you want to go play pool and have a good time with your friends and that's what we do. They serve all kinds of drinks and snacks and sometimes there are also very good views. Despite everything, I recommend this place.“

“Visiting from the UK, staying in the nearby hotel. Been travelling New Jersey by train, this place is on the way from the railway station to the hotel, so we have stopped off here a few nights. We have had good service and the food is good too, and all at reasonable prices. Very pleased to find this place as a decent way to end our day. Would definitely visit again if in the area.“

“I love Applebees Grill and Bar in Clifton. I stop in there once in a while in the afternoons for appetizers and drinks. I love the artichoke cheese dip with chips. My fave. Large bar, great bartenders, good service and chill atmosphere. Plenty of great seating areas and large screens for watching sports. Go and have great food and a fun lively time. Singles, couples, families, it’s all good. There is an outdoor covered seating area as well. A great place to relax and have good eats. Also it is across from the AMC Movie Theatre so it's great for after movie or before movie eats. Lots of free parking.“

“Food tasted amazing, and I’m a picky eater. Chose this place because it’s approved by seed oil scout. The cashier was gorgeous and very kind and attentive. It wasn’t pricey, I ordered the MMG wrap with extra steak and sweet potato fries. Definitely won’t be my last time coming here. The large protein shake is LARGE, wasn’t a big fan of the taste but you could tell there’s a good amount of protein in there and that’s what I cared abt in the shake. The place was clean, awesome theme, and classic old r&B music. Couldn’t have designed it better myself. 10/10“

“The pizza here is pretty good, but the service is average at best. There really isn't much of an atmosphere at all, though. So I'd recommend take out. They do have a 2 plain pie special for $25 including tax which is a good deal, but when I ordered it he wanted to charge me $36 because I didn't mention that I was calling for the special over the phone. He claims you have to say you want the special, which makes me wonder if he makes it different. This makes no sense to me. A plain pie is a plain pie.“

“Went there to watch the AFC/NFC games. Bartenders are beautiful. Beer is cold. Wings are great, as well as the fries. A bit on the expensive side for a bar, but it was nice. Extra parking is in the rear. They also have an outdoor smoke area, where you can watch the games through the windows.

Parking: Spots in front are very narrow. Rear parking is shared with another business & can get a little crowded.“
