“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 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.”

Kelly's Breakfast 159 Elmora Avenue, Elizabeth Breakfast • $

“I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. The pancakes were one of my favorite parts of the meal—they were large, buttery, fluffy, and delicious. The food overall was good, although some of the menu items felt a little basic.

The prices were reasonable for the amount of food you receive, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better.

The restaurant is on the smaller side, but the space is used very wisely. Even though there isn’t a lot of room to move around, the layout works well. I especially liked the decorations throughout the restaurant. They added a lot of personality to the space, and I thought it was a nice touch that even the bathroom was decorated. It showed that attention was given to the little details throughout the restaurant.

The only downside was that the building felt a little cold while I was there. Overall, though, I had a very enjoyable experience. Between the delicious pancakes, reasonable prices, friendly service, and thoughtful decorations, I would definitely consider coming back.”

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.

DEL PORTO ITALIAN RESTAURANT 91 Elizabeth Avenue, Elizabeth Restaurant • $$$

“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 ordered the mini empanadas for a office party today and they were excellent! (I wish they came in beef/carne). They also was reasonably priced. I definitely will order from them again.”

“We’ve been to Baleadas Supreme many times, and the food is consistently delicious. The baleadas are outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and some of the best we’ve had. The combo meals are generously portioned, so be prepared to take some home because there’s a lot of food!

Service can be a little slow at times, especially when they’re busy, but don’t let that discourage you. This place is truly a hidden gem. Conveniently located close to Staten Island, they consistently deliver fresh, authentic, and delicious Honduran food. If you’re looking for great Honduran cuisine, Baleadas Supreme is definitely worth a visit.”

“Phenomenal experience with my wife and another couple. Excellent drinks. Fantastic appetizers and entrees were delicious, hot, and fresh. Med, our server, provided exceptional service, friendly, attentive and a joy to interact with. We recommend the Jersey fries with extra gravy and the French Onion Soup was exceptional. We had the creme bruleet cheesecake, flourless chocolate toward the cookie skillet and the sorbet. All were wonderful. Highly recommend this bar restaurant, great service and a great overall experience.”
