“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.“

“Delicious food. Great service by Sydney! It started with amazing honey bread at the table. Flatbreads yum, especially the one with fig topping. 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!“

“Nice Irish theme sports bar“

“This place was amazing! We came for dinner and a night of entertainment and we weren't disappointed anyway. Only two bartenders the house was packed and everyone was ordering food. The bartenders running the food and the drinks very very quickly. The glasses were never empty. We will definitely be back here!!“

“It had been a few years since we dined here. The place is still real nice, inside and quite a bit of outdoor seating and a lot of lights. Drinks were good, the croquettes were tasty, my wife wasn't crazy about the 'wedge' salad. It was more like an inch thick steak cut with a nice dressing that was all on one side. We agreed we weren't crazy about the fried onions that covered the salad. A few ok, but there were as many deep fried onions as iceberg lettuce. I wasn't starving so I had the steak tartare which was good, not great. My wife had the prime rib which has a nice table side, cart carving presentation. Unfortunately, the meat wasn't very hot. I thought it was done perfectly, but she would have liked it done a little more. When ordering she was told it came rare and it seemed like that was the rule. Eating the more well-done parts of the nice piece of meat was enough to satisfy her. She can cook the left over any way she wants. Even though we had a late reservation we never felt rushed. The service was friendly. It may not have been perfect, but it was still a nice night out!. .“

“excellent food and customer service always“

“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)!“

“My sisters and I dined at The Grain House recently. The food was delicious, crafted with expertise and creativity. Hats off to Chef John!“

“The food and drinks and atmosphere was great especially drinking the sazerac cocktail it was good“

“Fun Place to grab drinks and a quick bite!“

“Great food, great atmosphere. Family owned and they make you feel like family. I was in town and stopped by because it was my dad’s favorite place to eat and do car shows before he passed. 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.“

“Grilled chicken sandwich with ketchup, mayo, lettuce, and tomato is my GO-TO. So good, at any time. -- I've been a customer since I can remember, always eat great and provided with great service.
Perfect for late night snacks or a stop to recharge before going home from the bar 🤣“

“Harley's can be surprisingly good. We have been dining there occasionally for years.

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

Service - the service is generally very good.

Food - All of the food is very good. They have some nice dishes (cheesesteak, grilled vegetables, burgers). And they have a very nice beer selection.

Overall, the value is good.“

Quinn is an absolute pro behind the bar—crafting amazing cocktails with precision and personality, always knowing exactly what we’ll love.

“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.“

“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..“

“This was the first time we had just an average experience. I was taking a friend out to celebrate her birthday because we always love the excellent service and food. Yesterday things worked out in the end (through a manager) but several negative things occurred. For one thing, the filet mignon/lobster tail combination was not cooked properly. One order was for “medium” and it was totally rare. Had to get manager because server was busy bartending and waitressing. The manager took the meat back and had it recooked. Also, the lobster tail was extremely tiny. We have had this dish before, and the tail was always small but not tiny small. Ok, so now I am eating by myself while my friend is waiting for her dinner. BTW! It came out very rare again. The manager offered my friend a soup or salad so she could eat something while waiting. The Caesar salad was chosen. The croutons were stale. A new piece of meat was cooked up...finally to perfection. Took three tries! The birthday desserts were delicious and the chicken pesto appetizer was perfect. We do not think the service was up to par since we have always had such friendly servers. Another waitress came out to us because we felt like she was avoiding us. As I said, it worked out because the meals were taken care of, but i hope we do not experience this again. Seasons 52 has been one of my favorite restaurant and of course, I will give it another try!“

“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!“

“It is a spectacular place, the food is delicious, it has a pleasant atmosphere, the attention is very good, they speak Spanish and English, easy to communicate, they offer sodas, natural juices, coffee, without a doubt, a place to visit again“

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

“I had "Le Magnifique". it was amazing. if you like Poutine (all you Canadians out there) you will love this. this particular dog is actually duck sausage. They have a vast array of dogs to choose from. The Spain inspired Chorizo "Conquistadog" looks like another awesome choice. (I need to try it!) I love the names they all have. Really witty, and all look so tasty.“

“I’ve been to this place since I was a little girl my parents always ordered from here and now I go w my bf when I can I love their California cheese burger w fries never disappoints me ❤️❤️❤️

They are sweet people and always smile and say hi to you I hate all the negativity in the comments but Im going to say this place is the best ever never leave please I’ll always eat from here 🥹“

“Friendly servers specially Angel,warm greeting up to the manager( Joe). The food taste great and serve fast.Good job👍🏻“

“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!!“
