“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

Dingbatz Bar • $$
620 Van Houten Ave, Clifton

“I've always loved Dingbatz as a patron. My experiences there have always always been positive ones. The food (across the street at Dingos) is top notch and fairly priced and I've never had poor service at the bar. It ONLY loses one star because I have had many friends (and bands) who have Not had good experiences there, and sometimes that varies greatly depending on who is working the shift and what kind of mood they are in at the time. But I always try to encourage bands to play here - the stage is SMALL and there's no green room but unless you're a bunch of pretentious jerks, the staff WILL take care of you, and your fans will be grateful for the up close and more personal experience that you simply cannot get at big venues.“

“Great wings! In case that was not clear great wings. You can tell they are fresh not frozen, cooked perfectly. Hot and moist throughout, crispy skin and good blue cheese too nice and chunky. Other items are good too. Burgers done right, Quesadillas are spot on fried raviolis we’re good too. One really good point here is they make a good side of tater tots if you want those rather than fries. Had many other good food items. They also have a good selection of beers on tap with good local brews and some of the old cheapies as well.“

“This is the dive bar that reminds you nobody does dive bars right anymore. I don't even drink and I go here for games just because the vibes are right. Also, the people complaining about the food are snobs. The food is good (especially the wings); it's a bar not a country club.“

“I think that Rumba Cubana is so successful because, among other things, the staff is incredible and the food is delicious.
I have been to their different locations, but this past Saturday, I was in the vicinity of this particular one and decided to go for dinner. The place was packed and we had to wait a few minutes, but it was worthwhile.
I would like to send a shoutout to Matias for being extra accommodating. Thank you for understanding our particular situation and for finding us a table.
My friend and I had the chicken soup and the montaditos for appetizers. Then I had the arroz con pollo and my friend had the chuletas with rice and black beans. As always, the food was delicious, the portions were sufficient to take a little bit home for later and the service...the service is always magnifico.
I will definitely keep going back to Rumba and I recommend it highly.“

“Came for Taco Tuesday! Place was very nice. Sat at the Bar, the bartender was very attentive and margaritas were on point. My girlfriend had a regular margarita before the food came and a passion fruit margarita after the food. We started with chicharron con tostones and guacamole. Was apprehensive to try the tostones as I’ve never had them, glad I did. Tacos Tuesday is $1 tacos for chicken, steak, and carnitas. Minimum of 5 and you can mix and match. We had a combination of all 3. They were very good, maybe just a bit too much onion, but you remove some. We also had the Birria tacos! A must have.“
