“First time back at a smashburger in years. The new bacon avocado ranch double stack is really good. Smash tots fresh and tasty. Was also very happy with the service from Johnathan. He was very attentive and even gathered our trash for us. Would definitely come again, glad to know the place hasn't lost quality over the years.“

“Had their food couple of times and its mouth watering.“

“El concepto es muy padre y bonito. Me sentí en México por un momento. El sabor de la comida excelente. Pero mi mesera me descuidó y nunca me preguntó cómo estaba todo, nunca pasó a preguntar si ocupaba algo. No se ganó la propina, pero ya me la cobraron en la cuenta.“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“If you want fresh and clean ingredients this the place!“

“I hadn't been to this place in over 30 years since a school field trip. I was pleasantly surprised by the food service and atmosphere. Lots of fun and energy to be had before during and after the show. Foods okay and the drinks are a good size. Lots of fun if you're in a large Rowdy group.“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

“Creighton and Isabella were really nice and made me feel welcomed. I love the place, the ambience and it’s by far the best espresso martini I’ve had in my life, shout out to the bartender. The food taste amazing. Looking to come back again.“

“This place is excellent. I bought my friend from Japan with his family and was happy to take them to Cornbread for some authentic soul food. Needless to say my friend and his family loved the experience. They were finishing a road trip throughout the US and they thought the food at Cornbread was some of the best they had in their month long journery. The turkey wings were particularly good and I'm saying this as a person who is mostly vegetarian. Service was also excellent with attentive help and the servers were conversational and friendly with my friends and I. Bathrooms were also very clean. I wholeheartedly recommend Cornbread Montclair as a solid business and a great place for delicious Soul Food.“

“Great ambiance, excellent prices, friendly staff, and delicious food.“

“Delicious food. Great service by Sydney! It started with amazing honey bread at the table. Flatbreads yum, especially the one with fig topping. Muscles, tuna tartare, noodle flush, brussel sprouts, calamari salad, and more! All yum! Would absolutely go there again. We had 8-10 people and the service was excellent.“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“Awesome place. Highly recommend!“

“My first time going there and the food was good. I got the fried mushroom platter with wild rice, chickpeas and salad. I felt good eating the food. It wasn't greasy or had me feel like crap while eating it. I'm from Philly and was visiting Newark for the weekend, but when I come back, I will be going there again. #vegan #blackowned #italisvital“

“The best vegan cafe when you’re in the mood for a great scone and cup of coffee! They’re lovely people!“

“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!“

“Amazing and delicious - you need to go here as soon as possible!!! Best ice cream!!“

“A real gem of a cafe, nothing else like it around. From the kind and thoughtful owner to beautiful, whimsical ambiance and of course the most delicious Indian style light lunch fare and desserts! Prices are more than fair. We can't wait to return!!“

“Had dinner there for the second time on Saturday night! It was very memorable. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the eggplant with the Barata for an appetizer. It was so delicious and so tasty and my main course was the homemade linguine with lump crab and corn. We also got the meatball which was spectacular and then I got the cheesecake dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. I absolutely love love love this place. Can’t wait to go back and eat there again.“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“What a wonderful find! Everything about the experience here was absolutely amazing. The restaurant has a cozy, warm environment with a lovely corner setup that makes for a great dining atmosphere.
The staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. A special shoutout to our waiter, DAVID—he was fantastic! He was so helpful with walking us through the menu and giving recommendations, which made deciding what to order effortless.
As for the food: the sushi is super delicious and fresh, with a great variety of options to choose from. I truly and highly recommend Sushi Koshi to anyone looking for phenomenal food and exceptional service!“

“Everything was good. The only complain i have is they give you only 90 min to eat and drink. After that time they just bring the check with out us asking and they refuse to keep serving you. They said they have others reservation and people waiting outside for your table. I think they should let you know when you do the table reservation or when you arrive to the place so you can have that on mind. We Drove 1 hr just to get there with a party of 6 and we were consuming all the time . So basically they kick us out.“

“oh my god it's been 4 months since my husband and myself poped in for breakfast on our weekend getaway, and I CANNOT stop thinking about how AMAZING the food was.... looks like another 9 hour trip is in our near future 😭😍 p.s. get the pancakes🫶🏻“

The food is fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. A special shoutout to Celina for providing such amazing customer service, remembering my daughter’s order, and making the experience even better! The quality of the food and the excellent service make this place the best sushi restaurant in Essex County.

Definitely a returning customer! Highly recommend! 🙌🍱“

“Siempre que puedo lo visito, me encanta su ambiente y su comida 💕🇮🇳🇪🇨“

“TL;DR: As a DoorDash driver, the golden rule is simple: if the smell in the front seat tempts fate for five miles, you have to go back off-duty to eat it. OMGYRO in South Orange earns a rare, uncontested 10 out of 10 Gyros thanks to razor-sharp flavors and elite hospitality from Sade and her crew.
The Dasher Perspective: Surviving the Passenger-Seat Test
Driving DoorDash across Northern New Jersey trains your palate and tests your willpower. Your vehicle becomes a mobile sensory lab, and 90% of takeout smells fine, but easily forgotten.
* The Rule of the Road: If a brown paper bag smells so ridiculously good on a drop-off run that it derails your focus, you are professionally obligated to return off the clock as a paying customer. OMGYRO failed my impulse-control test immediately.
* The Atmosphere & Crew: Stepping inside as a patron is even better than picking up at the counter. Sade and the entire staff run the front with an infectious, high-voltage positive energy that cuts through the daily grind. Sade treats every walk-in like a longtime regular, bringing effortless charm and warmth that completely resets your mood.
* The Counter Culture: The line moves with kinetic precision, but nobody is rushing you out the door. It’s clean, lively, and carries the kind of hospitality that most sit-down dining rooms fail to replicate.
The Food: Structural Integrity Meets Pure Flavor
Street food is an art of physics and flavor balance, and these wraps don't cut corners.
* Carved Meat: Spit-roasted with blistered, caramelized edges while staying tender and juicy throughout. It packs a deep, spiced punch without leaving a puddle of grease in the wrapper.
* The Pita & Fillings: The flatbread is thick, pillowy, and structurally sound enough to survive transport without splitting open. Crisp onions and cool tomatoes provide the crunch, while a bright, punchy tzatziki brings the acid needed to slice right through the savory core.
The Verdict
* Rating: 10 out of 10 Gyros
* The Takeaway: Whether you’re grabbing dinner after a long shift or ordering from your couch, OMGYRO is the real deal. Between the dialed-in spit-roasted meats and the radiant vibe Sade and her team put out daily, this spot is an essential South Orange stop.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried exceeded expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was spotless, and you can really tell they take pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Service was fast and efficient without ever feeling rushed, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. And the prices were very reasonable for the quality you receive—great value all around. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“Best Eggs Benedict in town!“

“The best pizza in NJ“

“I rarely write reviews for Uber Eats orders, but I wanted onigiri and this spot was nearby with delivery, so I placed an order. I chose Steve’s onigiri and the soft shell crab onigiri. Steve’s onigiri was outstanding; it was flavorful and the hot sauce provided a strong spicy kick. I expect to keep thinking about it until I can have it again. The soft shell crab was equally enjoyable. I will certainly return to order Steve’s onigiri and will stop by whenever I am in the area.“

“Review of Maggie's

If you are looking for an exceptional meal paired with a warm and friendly atmosphere, Maggie's is definitely the place to go.

The dining experience stands out for several reasons:

- Generous portions served with an elegant presentation
- Very reasonable prices for the high quality of food
- Excellent, attentive service throughout the meal
- A comfortable noise level, making genuine conversation easy to enjoy

During our visit, we ordered the Tavern Chicken Cobb Salad and the Mandarin Shrimp Salad. Both dishes were absolutely outstanding. Based on our experience, there isn't a single dish here that I wouldn't highly recommend.“
