“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“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!“

“Awesome eatery and a great time to visit on a Monday afternoon. They're normally extremely packed and I can see why. Nice, big and spacious space. Their staff are extremely well mannered.

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.“

“I was driving by on my way to another restaurant, and DIG caught my eye - I ended up stopping in for dinner (got the avo grain bowl with salmon) and am so glad I did! They have a variety of hot & cold, fresh, made to order options that are light and bursting with flavor. Menu is very well priced and I appreciate the ability to make your own, as well as picked from some of the chef curated options. Also appreciate the cups of water available. I’ll certainly be back & hope they expand to other locations (especially in northern bucks county PA)!“

Tania and Paul came and talked with me I felt like we were all family. They knew so much about him. Made my day knowing how loved he was. Thank you.“

Experience - the experience is good, the atmosphere is nice enough with a nice bar area.

Service - the service is generally very good.

Overall, the value is good.“

“Unbeatable Service – Quinn Keeps Us Coming Back! This bar lounge has become our favorite spot, and it’s all because of the incredible service! Every week, we’re welcomed like family, and Quinn always makes sure we have an unforgettable experience. Quinn is an absolute pro behind the bar—crafting amazing cocktails with precision and personality, always knowing exactly what we’ll love. The drinks are always perfect, the atmosphere is unbeatable, and the service is what keeps us coming back week after week. Huge shoutout to Quinn for making this place feel like home. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! Highly recommend!“

“Last week, I was in Plainfield helping a friend with his stalled car when I had a quick interaction with one of the staff members (possibly the owner or manager), and I could immediately tell this place is run by great people. Their kindness really stood out—not only in the way they treated us but also in their generosity. It’s clear they truly care about their customers, and that kind of hospitality is rare to find these days.

My girlfriend and I decided to grab something to eat, and I’m so glad we did. We had the ribeye steak sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing! The steak was grilled perfectly, the hoagie roll was fresh, and the flavors all came together perfectly. It was exactly what we needed after a long day. The welcoming atmosphere and great food made this a memorable experience, and we’re already planning another trip to try more of their menu. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the area!“

“Always an amazing experience. I live in JC and I don’t mind driving 38minutes down to NB just so that I can be here. Keep up the good work.👍“

“The food is always consistent! Best pub around!“

“Traveling back from New England to Maryland we look for a place to stop and have lunch that isn’t one of the highway rest stop food courts. Found Seasons 52 off exit 163 on the Garden State Pkwy in Paramus, NJ. Really easy to get to, not more than 2 miles off the GSP. Always a good restaurant with an ever changing seasonal menus but a solid core of favorites. I had the Mediterranean Chicken Salad and it was perfect for lunch. Great variety of veggies and quinoa and the chicken was a full, freshly grilled breast. Very moist and tender. My wife had the Cedar Plank Salmon, also excellent. And of course she had 2 of the pecan pie desserts (I think this is the real reason we go to Seasons 52). Food was excellent as always, service spot on, great spot to stop. In the Westfield Garden State Plaza so there is a ton of free parking.“

“i got call a racial Slur once“

“One of the best Burgers I have ever had in my life. I love their smash beef Burgers especially SmashMelt with Double Beef Patties. It is my go to order and one of my top comfort foods.

Their Vanilla Milkshake is also really good. Mozarella sticks are just average.“

“Amazing service been going there for as long as I can remember“

“I have been here a total of 3 times in the last month & they have messed up my order every time… either the wrong order completely or missing items… add that to the usual lunch hour wait & yes… they need to improve the customer experience..“

“We were there today with 3 adults and 7 kids ages 3-9. The staff is always wonderful but they were especially patient and sweet today. We love coming here on the train for lunch!!“

“They make good burgers and fries. If you like fish, they have some varieties here too.“

“I have been craving a Chicago dog since I left the windy city in 2014. Hubby brought me one of yours and oh my. Y'all nailed it and even though the bun isn't poppy seed, the bun you use is incredibly good! He also brought a banh mi dog and now I am craving one of each daily!“

“For a hotel, it certainly was refreshing. Traveling a lot you don't always get the best food selection.

With that said, the crispy Brussels sprouts, OH-EM-GEE. Hear me out. They were the best thing I think I've eaten...in well, ever. It wasn't just the whole Brussels sprout itself, it was mostly the outer skins that was coated in seasonings, oil, and crispy. They were SO GOOD!

I definitely recommend the French Onion soup as well, we had that twice. 😋“

“I’m vegetarian and for some weird reason on Uber eats there is no option to switch patties. I called the restaurant. I talked to the guy named Adarsh. He insured my order, doesn’t get any beef patties and on the special request hey switch the patty to beyond patty. I usually do this when I go to this restaurant in person and this is the only place where I eat burgers because they’re exceptionally good. Also, their aloo tiki burger is outstanding. Whoever owns this restaurant Please, please please never change the thing about this place. You got great customer service, awesome food, and very hard-working people. I always proudly tip every single time I go to this restaurant. Today the employee, name Adarsh made my day. Thanks a lot!“

“Philip V (“Phil”) makes dining in such a delight. His witty insights and professionalism made us feel right at home, checking in regularly but never intrusively. I’m personally very grateful for him informing that the peach tea we ordered comes with free refills! My partner and I are appreciative of the great value and for the Phil’s Oliver Twist references!“

“If you want the best Espresso Martini and Cosmo go and ask for Nikki!! She was super helpful and her drinks were honesty the best I ever had!!“
