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

“First and foremost, our server Jennifer may have been the most nicest and friendliest waitress I’ve ever encountered. She either loves her job or is an amazing actress. The food was very good, my parents enjoyed their burger. I had the roast beef sandwich which was fantastic. If you go here, you should ask for Jennifer to be your waitress so you can see what I’m talking about.“

“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!“

“Everything is so delicious“

“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!“

“Stopped be for a preflight bite and a mimosa. Both breakfasts were delicious. Coffee was great. Prosecco is n top. Rosemary was behind the bar, so friendly.“

“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!“

“Nice spot with great vintage atmosphere and good burgers and shakes.“

“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.“

“We had our wedding reception here on July 19th, 2025, and we absolutely loved working with them! It was the perfect place for us and they seriously exceeded our expectations. We met with Mike, and he helped us create the perfect party. Setting times to meet with him felt seamless and we felt well prepared after every meeting. He was always very real when he met with us—no extra gimmicks or tricks which honestly sold us even more. On top of that, their general staff, food quality, and overall assistance, were exceptional. They gave so much during the food tasting, so definitely come hungry. The meals weren’t even a main priority for us, but I need one of our friends to have a wedding there so I could have their food again. During my touchups, we were given the cutest room upstairs, where they also gave us our own plate before being able to talk to our guests during cocktail hour. We were told by a relative that we’d be well taken care of here, and that perfectly explains our experience with them. Throughout the entire night, we were simply able to just enjoy, thanks to the staff. They were incredibly kind, patient, and proficient, especially the maitre d. They’d additionally accommodate well to all of our guests, and even vendors. Our friends and family still rave about this venue. Please highly consider Old Bermuda Inn for your next event. We already can’t wait to work with them again in the future, and we thank them for going above and beyond for us!

They took care of the sweetheart table (and its decorations), table numbers, table menus, and we ordered our cake through them. As you can see, we had the best time!“

“Great food and drinks! Very pretty inside.“

“Been going there for over 60 years…“

“Listen!!!!!!! I’m one of the biggest critics when it comes to food, and I’m usually the first person to jump online and give a bad review when something isn’t right. HOWEVER… D&J Country Cooking is absolutely AMAZING. 💯 I was a little disappointed that they don’t offer dine-in, because I would’ve loved to enjoy my food hot at a table. Instead, I ended up eating it in my car. But let me tell you — it was still worth it. I ordered the fish, yams, and mac & cheese… and it was incredible. Everything was seasoned perfectly and tasted like real home cooking. When I walked in, I was welcomed by a very kind elderly woman who greeted me with eye contact, a warm attitude, and great recommendations. She was sweet, helpful, and really made me feel comfortable about trying the food. It was a true example of Southern hospitality. I’m giving this spot 9 stars. It would’ve been a full 10 if they had dine-in seating, because the food is so good it deserves to be enjoyed fresh at a table. Hopefully they consider adding a sit-down option in the future because it would really take the experience to another level. I’ll definitely be back. I’ve got to try the neckbones on Wednesday or Thursday next time. Great spot!!!!!“

“This is one of the best airport restaurants I've experienced. The prices are reasonable, especially at an airport, The food and drinks are varied and excellent. Service is very good as well. It's best to enjoy in a leisurely easy if you have plenty of time before your flight boards.“

“The atmosphere was very relaxing. Felt like a nice place to eat that wasn’t too crowded or overstuffed. The food was well prepared and left me feeling full and satisfied. I like that they update the menu to different seasons so I’ll return to see what new dishes they’ll serve next.“

“Went there last week to see what this place was about. OMGGGGGG I can't say enough good things about it. I had the matzo ball soup and 1/2 pastrami sandwich with a side of coleslaw. Everything was absolutely delicious. The soup tasted like my grandmother made it. I cantcwait to go back and try other things, especially the breakfast options. The waitstaff was so attentive.“

“The food was pretty good. Im satisfied. (EDIT THAT I FORGOT TO LEAVE). RIGHT AFTER I LEFT THIS REVIEW FROM INSIDE THE IHOP, I COME OUT TO MY CAR BOOTED. THIS ESTABLISHMENT DOES NOT DESERVE MY OWN OR ANYONE’S MONEY AS THE OWNER OF THE LOT CAN CARE LESS TO BOOT A PAYING CUSTOMER’S VEHICLE. ASKED THE PARKING ENFORCER TO CONTACT WHOEVER OWNS THE LOT AND HE WAS RELUCTANT GIVE UP THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION. 200 DOLLARS JUST TO GET THE BOOT OFF MY TIRE, FOR IHOP THIS IS RIDICULOUS.“

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

“One of my favorite local spots to grab food or watch the game. Family and Dog friendly as well. They have an awesome beer selection, consistently good food, and a friendly staff that always makes you feel welcome. I always get the power salad with steak and it never disappoints. Definitely a place I keep coming back to and recommend“

“🍦 Great little spot for ice cream! They have outdoor seating with a cute little table where you can sit and enjoy your treats. The prices are very reasonable. We got 3 “kids” size plus a waffle cone for around $15! Each cone had 2 scoops, so the portions were good. They also let you mix and match flavors, which is a nice bonus!

The staff was friendly, the ice cream was flavorful and the place looked clean. Definitely a nice spot to stop by when you’re craving something sweet! 😊“

“When we entered for lunch at 12:30, we were quickly greeted and seated to a location we wanted. The host ensured the sun was not too bright and closed the shades.
Our server Claudia was so friendly and sweet. She covered all the specials and was so quick to bring our drinks.
When she brought our food she provided extra sauces and double checked to ensure everything was to our liking.
It was a delight to have Claudia as our server, she was so friendly and fun to interact with.
Thanks for such a great experience Claudia!“
