“Passed this place a bunch of times. So I was hungry. So I said let’s give it a try. Well was amazing. Staff from moment walked in very friendly. Warm welcome. Started off with the Fire Roasted Wings (10) flame-broiled all-natural chicken wings marinated in fresh herbs & spices + lemon & herb dipping sauce Dough-Roni Pie Olli Salumeria pepperoni + tomato sauce + ricotta + fresh mozzarella + red onions Lemon Ricotta Ravioli Hand-made Ravioli + summer squash + fresh mint + pistachios + lemon zest + parmesan cheese Got off track sorry. Has seating at bar and has outside patio. (Was just a little to hot out there today) Very clean and definitely swinging by again. It’s right across street from Fairfield airport. Can’t forget the wine cooler before seated. There had to be 25+ wines to choose from.“

“Place is extremely fun will be returning multiple times had a great experience clubs are labeled for those who aren’t familiar with them and there’s so many games to play it’s just a great place all age levels highly recommended a must try for anyone well worth the trip from 2 hours“

“I frequently visit this restaurant for lunch …it’s great from the service to the food. My server Sue was great and the new hostess is a DOLL she just might be the happiest person I’ve ever met she puts a smile on your face the second you walk in so when she asked my wife and I to do a survey it was our pleasure. Like I said service OUTSTANDING and the food AMAZING, I highly recommend their salads and their steak sandwiches.“

“First time stopping in. The food was great. And the price was very reasonable. The place has great atmosphere, clean & so much to choose from. Staff was super friendly. Especially Brooks, who went above & beyond helping us try decide what to order. I'm not kidding when I say everything looked so good. He kindly gave different suggestions. He took time to explain different options, what they were and how they were made. Any questions or requests we had were met with nothing but kind responses. Will definitely be back!“

“I eat here every week with a big group and the food is always delicious. I like to order the chili nachos, and it's perfect for sharing. They are also very accommodating with allergies and have promptly answered questions about allergy content. The servers are very friendly and it's always very lively. Even outside of my group I like to take friends here. Parking is a bit tricky but it's worth it even if you have to park on the side of the road. Highly recommend!“

“Jack's Surf & Turf in Montclair, NJ, is our absolute favorite spot! This hidden gem in Montclair is a must-visit. Over the years, we've celebrated countless Girls' night-out birthdays here, and it never disappoints. From the moment you arrive until the time you leave, every detail is perfect. Greg, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and attentive; he treats us like family. Keeps our wine glasses full, and ensures we feel valued while also attending to other valued guests. The vibe is truly inviting, fabulous, super amazing & memorable! The menu offers a wonderful, wide variety of fresh and expertly cooked seafood, seafood boils, grilled steaks, salads, soups, OMG lobster mac & cheese, burgers, tacos, and scrumptious desserts! Everything is delicious, and the prices are more than reasonable, outstanding value! Highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends. You can BYOB; however, their wine selection is impressive as well. Generous portions, secure parking, and impeccably clean restrooms. Servers are always friendly and accommodating, happily fulfilling special requests. Nice music and occasional live entertainment enhance the experience. The Millburn, NJ, location is equally fantastic! We always start with our favorite Arugula salad - generous portions. House salad, also incredible! We adore Garlic Old Bay Shrimp appetizers, fried calamari, crab cakes, BUTTERY lobster rolls, OMG!. For our entrées, we couldn't resist going all in! Seafood Linguine in Garlic Sauce, steamed clams, mussels, grilled salmon, and lobster tails with crabmeat stuffing (seasonal). If you don't see something on the menu that piques your interest, just ask your server if they can prepare it for you. What impresses me most is Greg's attention to detail, passion, and creativity in delivering exceptional, high-quality food, ensuring each guest feels welcome and appreciated. I promise you won’t be disappointed, spotlessly clean, superior food, and exceptionally friendly customer-centric service! We've been to Jack's many times, and we'll keep coming back! Carla Wright“

“One of the best places for a lunch/breakfast meal in town...
Just as a good as the food is their beautiful staff.. From the minute you walk in they are there to serve and make sure experience is wonderful..
Keep up the great job!!! Ty“

“This is a local favorite we've eaten from in the recent past. I ordered the salmon. It was a disappointment because it was over cooked and dry even though I liked the flavor. I did enjoy the potatoes and asparagus. We'll go back but try something else.“

“Amazing stuffed meatballs!“

“High Life Skii Club held a 60th anniversary party on Nov 1 with 99 members attending. With an assorted buffet menu and a live band, our members had a memorable evening in the private room of Tavern 73. The cash bar was very busy, and people raved about the food as they left this 4-hour event. Special thanks to Kaya and Gail for the excellent job they did to help to organize and execute this event. They were Best! Thank you, Tavern 73. High Life will not forget you!“

“Great place to be great people“

“Love the place. Just had a few beers but great and friendly staff“

“What great service at this location. Between our waitress Diamond and GM Natasha, we can’t say enough about them.“

“The staff was friendly and knowledgeable“

“Great fun on a Friday of course! But killer ribs on Thursday. Music on Wednesday is always a good time! 😄“

“Get a swimming, pool and poolside service lol 💦🍽️🍋“

“I held a celebration of life in the private dining room. In addition to the food being plentiful and delicious the wait staff were all excellent. I would recommend the Cloverleaf for any special occasion function as well as regular dining. They provided the best venue possible“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE. Great breakfast spot. FOOD IS SO GOOD. I get beef bacon with french toast.... If you go give it a try. Also their drinks are good ! I get an midtown (non alcoholic drinks)
It's in the hood but a decent part. So you're good lol. They close early in the day so they aren't opened beyond like 3 pm.“

“Place is great and solid. They make the best breakfast in town, too bad they aren't open earlier but I guess to keep quality the chef/owner need to sleep or be with their families at some point unfortunately for us hungry customers. Burgers, dogs,gyros, turkey sandwiches, and Italian ice recommended.“

“unbelievable this was our 1st time at Ray's! The atmosphere, service, menu and food all outstanding! We'll be back over and over.“

“The food was pretty good. Im satisfied. (EDIT THAT I FORGOT TO LEAVE). RIGHT AFTER I LEFT THIS REVIEW FROM INSIDE THE IHOP, I COME OUT TO MY CAR BOOTED. THIS ESTABLISHMENT DOES NOT DESERVE MY OWN OR ANYONE’S MONEY AS THE OWNER OF THE LOT CAN CARE LESS TO BOOT A PAYING CUSTOMER’S VEHICLE. ASKED THE PARKING ENFORCER TO CONTACT WHOEVER OWNS THE LOT AND HE WAS RELUCTANT GIVE UP THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION. 200 DOLLARS JUST TO GET THE BOOT OFF MY TIRE, FOR IHOP THIS IS RIDICULOUS.“

“They handled our son's graduation party and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. Quick setup before and the food selections were all fresh and outstanding. Would absolutely recommend them!“

“is becoming a favorite of mine.“

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“best place ever I enjoy there food I moved out of Paterson nj 4 years ago ever time I come to nj to visit my mom I stop there. great people great food“

“Terrific and nostalgic fare. Got Turkey club for my meal with their delicious French fries. The sandwich was good enough to conquer my hunger and I only ate half. Took home the leftovers. My husband had the classic burger with French fries and it was huge and cooked to perfection. He said it was juicy and full of flavor with all the toppings. We both liked that the French fries came in a metal cup container because it kept the temperature longer which allowed us to eat them warm. I chose the green tea iced tea and thought it was perfectly not too sweet. Hubby got plain iced tea and it was unsweetened and terrific too. Prices are comparable to the area with tip just under $60.“

“I haven’t been to The Barn since my kids were young, but we visited Abma’s farm today for the hayride with my daughter and granddaughter and stopped at The Barn for dinner after. What a delight! The staff were so welcoming and child-friendly. I have never been anywhere as child-friendly in Bergen County. Their outside seating area is perfect for families with young children in tow. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“

“I approached yhe Nordstrom cafe to get coffee with my daughter. Fonzi, the manager, exuded such good energy. He greeted every customer with a giant smile, and I even saw him bringing coffee out to customers sitting and relaxing. A+ customer service and thank you for transferring your good energy to me!“

“I'm gotta say that we went there for lunch today. And it was okay service was okay. The food was okay, nothing spectacular. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Honestly the grits were not even that visible
Certainly a bit overpriced for what they serve“

“Meatloaf was banging Pineapple upside down cake, also Friend had the tilapia , enjoyed it“

“As soon as we walked in we felt welcome, woman asked us if it was our first time, sat us down gave us menus she was so sweet, I wasn’t sure weather or not to get chicken or beef with my egusi soup, she offered both… I was nervous at first to try it but it was all top tier. By far the best chicken I’ve had in a very long time and the fufu and egusi was divine“
