“Great food. Great fun . b established local restaurant in Fairlawn“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“I've always loved Dingbatz as a patron. My experiences there have always always been positive ones. The food (across the street at Dingos) is top notch and fairly priced and I've never had poor service at the bar. It ONLY loses one star because I have had many friends (and bands) who have Not had good experiences there, and sometimes that varies greatly depending on who is working the shift and what kind of mood they are in at the time. But I always try to encourage bands to play here - the stage is SMALL and there's no green room but unless you're a bunch of pretentious jerks, the staff WILL take care of you, and your fans will be grateful for the up close and more personal experience that you simply cannot get at big venues.“

“Incredible place, love to see it in good hands as my grandparents (the former owners) would be thrilled to see“

“Best place to celebrate St.Patricks Day! Funtimes. Best corned beef sandwich! Awesome drinks!“

“Love The Notch! Can’t wait to see what great bands will be playing there this year and the new friends I’m bound to make! The Notch Family keeps growing! If you haven’t been there yet…… get to it! ❤️🎶🍻“

“Leanne, is an exceptional server and always brings a big smile to the table, great Food, and atmosphere. Fun and friendly place.“

“We hosted a surprise 60th birthday party this past weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the first call to set it up to the moment we walked out the door, the staff made sure it was such a great experience. The people who work there are so attentive and kind. The managers Bryan and Kelly were so helpful in planning our party and Ivan is a rockstar. He took care of our party of 20 and made sure we had everything we needed. We never had to look for him, he was always checking on us and providing excellent service. He truly is so great at what he does. We had a sit down lunch in their cottage room which was so nicely decorated. the space was perfect. We felt like we were in our own restaurant. It was cozy but spacious and they were so accommodating with how we wanted it set up. We were able to bring balloons and decorations and the staff even helped us set up. They had a curtain up in the doorway so we were able to really surprise the guest of honor. Our lunch was delicious. We chose to do the seated option with 3 shareable apps and we picked a menu of 4 main meals from their party menu. Most of us ordered the shepherds pie and it was some of the best we had ever had. The presentation was cute. It came in a skillet which was served on a board with Irish soda bread. It was so delicious. The show stopper was the shareable Irish egg rolls. We couldn’t stop talking about them. The drinks were really good and the bar staff was really attentive to the party. The kids ordered from the long kids menu and they really enjoyed theirs as well. The pricing was very reasonable and worth every penny. We were able to bring our own cake and they cut it up and served it for us which was so nice. I can’t thank them enough for how special they made this experience. Everyone in our party had such an amazing time. The staff here are incredible. I would absolutely consider them for your next party.“

“We have been going to Felinas since 2019. Chef Joe, Frank, and the entire staff make us feel like family. We have many personal and professional occasions celebrated there and will continue to do so. Thank you, Felina Ridgewood“

“Went to Dog house yesterday. Found out the chef left. 😩 Food definately proved it. used to Love the cheesecake sandwich, but not today. Way too much Wostishire that overpowered the sandwich and steak sliced too thick. Very disappointed! And the very young bartender was very disappointing also. only 6 people there and not very responsive or knowledgeable!“

“Great neighborhood sports bar. Good food, good friendly service, fair prices, a full bar and good selection of beers. The wings are a good value and good quality and the burgers and fries are on point. Try the whiskey burger. Be nice to the bartender and you will be well taken care of.“

“We threw a drop-in Buffet dinner for family and friends at Houlihans for 30 to 35 people. The room is spacious and accommodated everyone comfortably. Our server Eileen was excellent and the food was delicious. Michelle who assisted with the catering was very detail oriented and help me plan a great event. Sebastian the manager as extremely gracious and helped ensure our guests were taken care of. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend..“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“Was on our way to another bar, "late" last night (not even Midnight) after having been turned aside by the Marriott but then drove by Andy's Corner and immediately pulled a U-ey.This place is a gem. The bartender is swell and the vibe is laid-back friendly.You might think "Dive Bar" (in the best possible way) when walking up to the front door, but what you get when you open the door is a Classy Establishment.To the backyard party-goers of Bergen County--- leave your block, for the love of Mike, and patronize this place. It's in your neighborhood, after all!!“

“it was a gorgeous day and we were at Brookdale Dog Park. We looked up dog friendly restaurants. What a great place the food was awesome, the beers were cold and the service was excellent. The prices were so reasonable which is rare in Montclair! and they were so dog friendly! it was our first time there but not the last!“

“first time here very impressed the food was too perfection will be back with more people“

“Fabulous! Never disappoints.“

“I love this place! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Brett the server is the best!! He it's attentive, patient, kind, fast with taking and bringing the orders and he checks to see if the order is satisfactory and if anything else is needed. I appreciate this kind of service especially after a hard day at work. Also, my friends and family members have expressed great gratitude for being treated so well. The food prices can't be beat, the quality and quantity is great, well worth every penny. The friendly and happy atmosphere is very welcoming and enjoyable. I feel at home here. I highly recommend Chevy's in Clifton to everyone I know. Thank you so much for all the hard work and dedication to providing excellent customer service and delicious food!! Love it.“

“If you’re anywhere near North Bergen, NJ, do yourself a favor and check out the Brass Rail Pub—this place is vibes central

First off… the drink selection? INSANE. From smooth top-shelf whiskeys to rare craft gins and everything in between, the bar is fully stocked for any kind of night you're trying to have. Whether you're into classic cocktails or trying something new, the bartenders know their stuff and pour with passion.

But let’s talk about the atmosphere—cozy, welcoming, and low-key in the best way possible. It’s the kind of spot where you can chill with friends, have real convos, or just unwind solo without any pressure. No frills, no fuss—just great drinks, good people, and a vibe that makes you want to stay way longer than you planned.

From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. He was attentive, kind, and made sure every detail was taken care of with a smile. Thank you, Miguez, for making our time at Yard House so pleasant—we’ll definitely be back because of you!“

“I went to celebrate my cousin's birthday party. The dining area and dance floor were a good size. The bar area had a huge screen for watching sports and enjoying the appetizers that were being passed out. The wait staff were very attentive.The restrooms were clean but needed to be attended to more. Somebody took my umbrella which was left in the bucket area when you come in and out. It didn't ruin my night, I had a great time.I think my cousins had a cater.

Wheelchair accessibility: Flat area to walk in and out, the restrooms maybe tight.“

“been going here for years. steak sandwich is awesome! we actually call it the steak bar.“

“Stopped in here recently after traveling into town to see a terminally ill family member. After the heavy stuff, I was looking for a place to watch the hockey game and have a couple drinks. Wasn’t looking for anything trendy or overcrowded, just a laid back vibe. Based on pictures and reviews I headed out here. Could not have been happier with the choice. The bartender, Anthony, was very attentive and the drinks were made right at a good price. Highly recommend for a chill experience.“
