“Everything was perfect from the atmosphere to the excellent service to the delicious food!“

“We had dinner at Ruby Tuesday in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and were lucky enough to have Bella as our waitress. She told us right away that she was new and still in training, so my sister and I joked that we'd be extra nice to her—but honestly, she didn't need any extra help!

Bella was incredibly sweet, friendly, and attentive throughout our entire meal. She took our drink order promptly, answered all of our questions about the menu with confidence, and kept a close eye on our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Her warm personality and genuine care made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

We live in Maryland and Florida, so unfortunately we probably won't have the opportunity to dine here again. But we wanted to make sure Ruby Tuesday knows what an amazing asset Bella is to your restaurant. She has a wonderful attitude, excellent customer service skills, and a bright future ahead of her. Thank you, Bella, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“NY Fries was incredibly delicious, loved the Poutine with Pulled Pork BBQ and Cheese Curds. Went to Canada a year ago Jul. where I ate some different types of Poutine. NY Fries does it great. I hope more locations pop up in NJ. I'll be coming back to try more things.“

“Outstanding craft cocktails and delicious food! I only wish I had found them on my first night in Rahway rather than my last. I would have been here every night…“

“I attended a private evening function here and was immediately charmed by the beautiful, antique aesthetic of the property. The historic architecture and classic decor give the entire venue a wonderfully grand and romantic feel that makes it stand out from typical banquet halls. The food served during the reception was very good, particularly the prime rib and the baked pasta dishes, which were kept hot and well-stocked throughout the night. The service staff worked incredibly hard to keep everyone’s drinks refilled and plates cleared quickly. The only minor drawback is that some of the interior carpeted spaces and seating upholstery are starting to show their age and could use a light refresh. Overall, The Historic Old Bermuda Inn“

“Great atmosphere for a delicious steak dinner & crab cakes! # 1 steak dinner. Good music & great service!!!“

“We went on a Thursday. Happy hour wine for me and Sagria for my friend. Quite a few appetizers for $9 but we didn't try those. We opted for Burrata shared plate and a Pepperoni Flatbread. The Burrata plate was delicious, came with sliced baguette and pesto and a hummus drizzle on the plate for dipping. The Pepperoni Flatbread was thin crust with hot honey, very tasty however could have been baked a little longer, Service was excellent.“

“I’ve been coming here since with my father since I was a kid, this place over the years has gotten so much better, and the service here has always been amazing. The hosts are very kind and make sure we don’t wait too long til we get sat, the sever was great and I believe his name was Carlos. Phenomenal service and made sure our food and drinks came out as soon as possible. Drinks were great, food was delicious and it was cooked to my exact liking. I would definitely come again with friends and come back to Carlos as my server.“

“Great lunch! Love the building!“

“Great food, friendly service and beautiful atmosphere.“

“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 love this Applebees, fast service, The food is tremendous did not have a cocktail but next time so many healthy choices you can make and the management was fantastic. I think his name was Michael Mathews. What a wonderful gentleman, very helpful and polite.“

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

“I ordered catering for yesterday , stuffed cabbage , kofta, chicken shish and kabab hala honestly it was soooo good , very delicious, all the people were so happy I really highly recommend Taza restaurant 😍😍“

“My wife and I Tried Buns n Shakes today for the first time . It was delicious. Especially when my wife says something is delicious it’s off the chain. She is extremely hard to please with new foods. I’ve struck out many times lol. Highly recommend Buns n Shakes . We’ll definitely go back.“

“Food is decent for a place such that but once you look inside hygiene of the place isn’t inviting 🥴 so if you order your food not leaning into window you will enjoy it but if you glance a bit condition of kitchen you might think twice“

“This was my first ever time at a Stewart’s Restaurant, and I can undoubtedly say that I was NOT disappointed. There are so many food items to choose from and they even offer a vegan menu. At this location specifically, the staff was very welcoming and were quick to check in on us when we needed something. I loved the root beer float and the chili hot dog, and I would definitely come here again soon.“

“Got married in Vegas then threw a celebration with family & friends. Couldn’t have been more perfect 💕👍🏻“

“A very nice place grab a bite or belly up to the bar .I mean to start there's tutles everywhere and who doesn't love turtles?
From entry to exit everyone was super friendly and professional. We sat in backroom and they accommodated our request to turn on golf. Ordered some beers ( guess yall dont know what a lime wash is but no bother)
Got some calamari to start and praise be they had tentacles...onto the entrees the other two got fish and chips which im told was awesome other than one of them is a bumpkin and compared it to catfish..I had the pear and goat cheese salad with the flank steak absolutely perfect 👌.“

“Lucy made the entire experience a please. She was attentive, friendly and professional. We were there to celebrate my father's 86th birthday. Lucy made sure to make the occasion a special one, recomended a few entrees to my parents, and brought out a dessert for us to sing happy birthday without us even asking. She also told us which desserts were her favorite and we chose 4. Overall it was a great time and when we go back we will request her to be our server.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“

“This place is top notch all around. The food is outstanding. The owners and management have it together and clearly know what they're doing. Customer service is very important and it's great here. This place cares about its customers. My husband and I will continue to dine here many times over the years. God bless. 5 stars“

“The food is great and low price 😍“

“Best seafood soup .so far I've ever tasted“

“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 🥹“

“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. 😋“

“This is the most lovely place!! Our sever Amanda made it especially lovely bc it was my birthday and made it so splendid with a bright little fireworks bottle display! Her warm delightful service brings us back repeatedly. Please ask for her. She will make your experience a very enjoyable one! The drinks are flavorful as is the food. The scenery and views are picturesque. 10:10 do recommend to a friend!“

“Decent sandwiches. There are signs saying that the final prices will be 20% higher than what's listed on the menu so it's not the cheapest option. They told me that they didn't accept Restaurant.com coupons anymore but still honored them anyways.“

“From the moment Drew opened his doors in his original location we quickly became fans. This creative Chef who works magic with food has turned Drew’s Bayshore Bistro into one of the most popular restaurants to eat at. People come from all over to enjoy and will take any time slot available to do so. We have eaten here more times than I can count and have had many group dinners and celebrations. Drew’s new location is beyond beautiful and only a stone’s throw from his prior place. We just love the feel of the new home and the beautiful ambiance. it’s absolutely gorgeous from street view and fits perfectly into Keyport’s historic vibe. The food is also over the top insanely incredible. Oh yes I have favorites. The scallops are perfectly sautéed, tender juicy and was served with pesto risotto. A true explosion of flavor. Broiled oysters are one of the most incredible thing I’ve ever tasted and honestly could eat two portions for my main, but haven’t done that yet as there are so many things to try. Pork chops, steaks, soft shell crabs, voodoo shrimp, homemade ice cream and all his special makes it hard to choose what to order. Incredible list of specials are always offered. Menu changes for seasonal favorites. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I look at the menu. We are very thankful to Drew for sharing his vision and providing all of us with a delectable dinning experience each time we eat here. Five stars are not enough!“

“We were totally worn out from a day in the city and the traffic around this cluster of hotels was ridiculous so we decided to just have dinner here. And hey, it was pretty good. We both got sandwiches and they were fresh and we'll made. I did not want the chips that came with mine and the server/bartender/cook brought me fruit instead. Breakfast looked good to. If you're staying in this little block of hotels than this is a pretty good option considering there's only a tgi Friday's and IHOP next door.Limited menu for breakfast but what they have they do well. Feel free to ask for fruit in place of potatoes.“

“It seemed like the restaurant was closed but my friends and I was able to order some drinks at the bar, then we moved to a table for dinner. Our server Dominic was very attentive and helpful. Chicken tasted a little too dry, but all the other food we ordered was amazing; especially brisket! It was so tender and tasty. Two of the desserts we ordered with a cup of cappuccino were phenomenal. We were so full after finishing the bbq combo plate, but sure did finish both of the desserts ? I'm glad this place is open for the public. Will definitely comeback ??‍♀️“

“Freshly made, huge portions, and delicious!! Cleanest bathroom I have ever seen in a fast food restaurant!! Yummy!!“

“Review: Applebee’s Came Through Thanks to (Pretty Sure Her Name Was) Stephanie

Stopped by Applebee’s the other night expecting a regular chain-restaurant situation, but honestly? The real MVP was the server — I think her name was Stephanie. If it wasn’t, someone in there is definitely giving off strong Stephanie energy, because she crushed it.

She was quick, on top of everything, and actually seemed to care. Drinks stayed full, food came out hot, and she handled the whole table like a pro. No attitude, no disappearing act, none of that “I’ll be right back” then vanishing into a black hole. Just solid, reliable service that made the whole meal smoother.

Food was classic Applebee’s: good, predictable, hits the spot when you’re hungry. But the service? That’s what made it feel like a better experience than it probably should’ve been.

Bottom line: 4.5/5 — shoutout to maybe-Stephanie for carrying the night. If that wasn’t her name, someone please give the right girl some credit.“
