It was my first time visiting The Mills at Jersey Gardens, which you can imagine is a very overwhelming experience (especially in December!). I decided to come to Ruby Tuesday to figure out a game plan & decompress and she was nothing short of kind, responsive, and prompt!! I would definitely come back to Ruby Tuesday for Jenn’s service and kindness(:”

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.”

“I was recently in New Jersey for a concert and staying at a hotel for a few nights. My friend and I were looking for a quick bite to eat nearby. We decided to go to this place on a whim and it turned out to be one of the best decisions ever. The atmosphere was incredible. Everyone in there was so cool and the bartender was fantastic and very helpful. She recommended the Jack Daniels burger so we both went with it. When I tell you we both dreamed about this burger for our entire trip. We ended up going back to this place two more times. It was such a great local place with great people. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re ever in the area go there and get the Jack Daniels burger. Talk to the locals. Have a pint and enjoy the vibes. 5/5. 10/10. Incredible.”

“Tequila Bistro Hosted One Incredible Night for Team Ed Rodriguez We recently held a meet-and-greet for Assembly candidate Ed Rodriguez at Tequila Bistro in Elizabeth—and let’s just say, Ed raved about the food beforehand, and he wasn’t wrong. From the moment we stepped into the warm, inviting space—with its glowing string lights, rich Spanish tiles, and that cozy outdoor patio—it was clear this was more than just a restaurant. It was an experience. The crowd came for conversation, but the Mediterranean and Spanish flavors stole the show. From the perfectly grilled seafood to the paella that had people going back for seconds (and thirds), every bite was unforgettable. The crab-stuffed salmon? Game-changer. And then there’s the bar—a destination in itself. Sophisticated, generous, and buzzing with good energy. The sangria flowed, the handcrafted cocktails were on point, and the vibes matched the moment. The staff made us feel like family. They handled a busy room full of guests with warmth, precision, and genuine hospitality.”

I actually found them because they’re always driving around our neighborhood, and everyone gets excited when they hear that music coming down the street. So when it came time to book an ice cream truck, choosing Danny’s was a no-brainer. The service was super friendly, the ice cream was delicious, and the whole setup added such a fun vibe to our event. All of our guests, kids and adults loved it! Danny was punctual, easy to work with, and made everything feel effortless.”

“Delicious food and authentic NJ diner experience at Seaport Diner!! I got the Reuben sandwich with fries, it was huge and had amazing flavor - the corned beef was tender, the cheese melty, rye bread was toasty, and the sauerkraut with Russian dressing made it perfect. Plus it was open face, a really unique touch, served with crunchy pickles, sauerkraut and yummy fries. A feast for sure! My family for sunny side eggs (perfectly cooked) with crispy bacon and pancakes. They were super happy, said it was delicious. The location is perfect for a meal near Newark airport. The service was great, food was served nice and hot, place was clean. And you get that cool New Jersey diner vibe with leather booths and cool bar seating. I definitely recommend Seaport Diner - we will be back!!”

“it is nice, it can be loud but be aware. Although the menu says they will charge an 18 or 20% tip automatically to a party of 4 and higher, they still had it to be party of 2 automatically. if you don't realize that then they hand you the receipt with the tip line blank, hoping you had another 20% percent I think this thief and deceptive.”

“Stopped by the Applebee’s at Jersey Gardens Mall and tried the new holiday drinks — Tipsy Reindeer and Sleigh All Day with the extra shooters. Totally worth the price. Sleigh All Day is tequila-based and definitely stronger than the Tipsy Reindeer, so choose your fighter accordingly 🍹
We did the 2 for $25 and got the chicken parm and mozzarella sticks — both were surprisingly good. Portions were big enough that we couldn’t finish everything and had leftovers, which is always a win.
The servers were very attentive, but they were clearly slammed, so don’t expect to be seated immediately. Pro tip: give your name and number as soon as you get to the mall for a wait time estimate, or call ahead. The space is also a bit small, so it fills up fast.
Overall solid food, strong drinks, and good service — just plan around the wait.”

“So… I walked into this bar to watch my Bears play the 9rs… When I walked in… I thought I walked into a “wooop”. The 7 gang I mean 9er gang was having a new members meeting, and forgot to lock the door. It was like a blue dot in the middle of maxi pad, I was like Yooooo ?!?!?. So I did what any logical Bears fan would do, WENT TO THE VIP SECTION and looked over the crowd of red in discus while sipping on my cold brew and eating some of the best finger food. The owner/manager was cool the 9ers fans was cool and welcoming 💯 Soild group of Gang Members lol Yooo they got a whole niner gang theme song on every TD and every first down is celebrated “Whhooop” lmao 🏳️🌈(Pause) No but really I had a great time my team didn’t get the win but I will be back and I am bringing my crew!!! 💯”

“Don't go on a Monday, they have less items on the. Menu, the most popular. Prices are good. You can bring wine or beer. Has potential. They also own a bakery a couple of blocks away.”

“Went there for drinks and dancing for my sister's birthday. Good music drink and atmosphere. I recommend the caipirinha. However what I don't like is that because at night its two different vibes/events, one downstairs and one upstairs you had to pay separately for both instead of one price and getting to switch between the two because then you are stuck if you don't like the music of the spot you picked. We went downstairs. It was mostly reggaeton, nee and old school and dembow, which is fine but they told us they were going to be mixing music but we barely got any merengue bachata or salsa. I had to beg the DJ 4 times for bachata”

“on friday of last week i had went with my mom and bf and the food was great. so good that i had to come back the next day. i ordered white rice and chicken and beans the first time and the second time i swapped beans with fries. i've never been a chicken kind of gal but this place has great chicken imo. they have a good assortment of drinks and i ate it all up. the service was great, and it was a nice place to me. don't recommend looking at other reviews because they were from so long ago. i think this place deserves more of a chance to prove themselves. they have changed for the better. less salt in their food my mom said they used to have problems with that years ago. kahoots to this restaurant. (pricey tho considering it is a restaurant so just know that for 3 people with drinks it can be 50-60 dollars if u do take-out!)”

“I thought the price was quite cheap for the size they offer, with one portion you will be more than satisfied. It has a good flavor and quite a bit left. I didn't like the price of the drinks, too high a price, a large glass for 5 dollars when in a store you can find a full soft drink for 2 dollars.”

“We recently hired Danny’s Soft Serve Ice Cream Truck for our event, and it was absolutely perfect! I actually found them because they’re always driving around our neighborhood, and everyone gets excited when they hear that music coming down the street. So when it came time to book an ice cream truck, choosing Danny’s was a no-brainer. The service was super friendly, the ice cream was delicious, and the whole setup added such a fun vibe to our event. All of our guests, kids and adults loved it! Danny was punctual, easy to work with, and made everything feel effortless.”

“I have been going here since it has opened,and the food is good prepared as you like it. The personnel are beautiful people with whom I have seen feed those who may not have the money to eat on several occasions which every community business person should have a heart to do. It is a community-based business which I would not change for anything or anyone!!!”

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.”

“We sat down immediately but it took about 10min for anyone to come over. It seemed they didn't know what server had next. The server we had must of been new. Nice kid but better training needed for sure. I ordered a byo omelet with tomatoes and spinach with jack and cheddar cheese and avocado. My omelet was saturated with both... not even enough cheese. My omelet was green. Lol its suppose to be a great mixture. I didnt finish it. The avacado should have been sliced not a full half. Pancakes are ok. IHOP is a chain that been around for years. I know they franchise but they definitely need to keep the same taste throughout all locations. Franchise police need to make sure they are keeping a good name with the brand. I wouldn't go back here again.”
