“Huge shout out to the Farmhouse in Hampton, NJ! We were able to plan a wedding in only 3.5 months because of this dedicated and talented team. The entire experience was easy, fun, and professional. The entire team was reliable, organized, and efficient which gave us ability to have peace of mind throughout the process. Gina Milo took such great care of us leading up to and on the day our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with this venue and the amazing staff!“

“WOW drove a half hour to come here and when I pulled up, I was not expecting much. But then you walk inside and it’s not what you would expect !!! This place is amazing on the inside and the food is FAN-freaking-TASTIC!!!!! And our waitress was the nicest server I’ve ever had. I will be here ALOT more!!!“

“Best breakfast ever! It’s always worth the drive. It’s difficult to decide from all the amazing options!“

“The staff are all kind, helpful, accommodating, and genuinely there to make your evening perfect. Chris the hostess was wonderful, as well as the many servers who all willingly supported Gary, the owner, to provide the best service and culinary experience possible for his dinner guests. The menu is one of the best we have seen in the area with many international dishes, some with the labor intensive Indian nuances, and others just with downright phenomenal flavors. Although they have lots of standard fare for the UNadventurous eater, I would suggest you reach past your comfort zone and try some of the appetizers that jump out as potential winners...like the tuna tartare that with just a splash of Japanese Rice wine vinegar would be one of the best I have ever had, as well as the grilled Tandoori shrimp that is marinated in yogurt, ginger, cloves nutmeg, and dried mango; the grilled lamp chops that come with three perfectly grilled meaty garlicky chops that come with mango chutney, and the Haryali chicken Tikka- three huge plump boneless breast of chicken slices that are marinated in mint, yogurt, roasted cloves, green cardamom and star anise, and served with their famous tiger sauce and salsa. We also shared another marinated shredded beef dish special that had three beef croquette-shaped mounds that had such a umami of flavors I can't even replicate it in this review, but we thought it was just great. I would be remiss if I did not mention the creamy, silky crème brûlée that we enjoyed with a glass of Prosecco; a perfect encore to the phenomenal culinary treat we had just experienced with the appetizer medley. Sharing many apps is more fun we think, than committing to one big entree, so we suggest that you dash over to the Pittstown Inn TONIGHT, and tell them Debbie and Gene sent you....ask to meet Gary, the owner, who elegantly floats from table to table, touching each to greet them and to check later on as well to see if everything was to their liking. A true host from days gone by, this owner is the real deal whose passion for the hospitality business emulates from his constant smile from the joy he is getting from making his guests happy. You see that what fuels this man to keep opening his doors from year to year, despite the many hardships and setbacks life has dealt us all over and over, is his love for you, his loyal customer. He is a rare find, so I suggest you go and treat yourself to the real deal in dining. You will not be disappointed, and be sure to ask to meet Gary. He will make your visit complete. Kudos the phenomenal chefs I met as well, for their expertise and genuine ingenuity in designing a menu to please everyone. Can you tell we LOVE this place??????????“

“I've been going to Uncle Buck's for awhile now and I've gotta say the staff there is always nice, always on top of everything, and I've never had a bad thing from there. Joy and Stephanie usually take care of me when I come in. I am treated more than just a customer, but like I'm family. If you're new to the area and looking for a good place to eat this is the place!“

“My three year old daughter and I went for lunch last week. It was such a treat! I ordered the delicious fried mozzarella (out of this world!) and had the chicken taco specials while my daughter had chicken tenders. Yummy!!!!! For dessert we had pumpkin pie gelato and the birthday cake cupcake. To die for! I highly recommend!“

“Great experience!! Maca was my server and she was the kindest and sweetest ever! She made sure we were taken care of and that we enjoyed our Applebees experience. The drinks and food were also great. I would definitely recommend this location!“

“Popped in here for lunch when I was visiting Clinton. Started off with their Fried Cheese Curds. These honestly were some of the best I’ve ever had. They were like snacks that you could just keep popping into your mouth, just would melt in your mouth. As for my main entree, I order the Baja Smash Burger. Which the combination of avocados, peppers, onions, chipotle mayo, tomatoes, etc… worked very well. It was delicious, I got a side of sweet potato fries with it, these were decent. I will say the coleslaw was not that great. But this is a good breakfast/lunch spot if you are on the main strip of Clinton.“

“Been a fan of Riley and Jake’s for Years! This week I made reservations for a group of 15 ladies. Arrival times varied from 5.30-6:30 and departure times varied too. Our server, Anna took it all in stride. She was friendly and very efficient. Appreciated her cheerfulness and patience. Food was delicious and the cocktails, I’m told were refreshing. Thank you to Jake and Riley’s for another wonderful experience!“

“Food was great, we were in for breakfast. The waitress was not very pleasant, like we were a distraction from her conversation with possible regular customer at counter.
We enjoy coming here and have had happier and more pleasant waitress experience.“

“Not sure why everything was super expensive but it was good and service was amazing. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but staying at hotel and too cold outside to go anywhere I definitely would eat here. Just want to say thank you to the people that prepared my French toast, it was so good.“

“Food was surprisingly good. I had a chicken Parm sandwich and my wife had a chicken club. We both enjoyed the meal. Service was quick, friendly and accurate. The restaurant was empty, even though the bowling alley was mobbed. The restaurant didn't look or feel at all like a bowling alley, but you could hear the bowling going on.“

“If you’re looking for an absolutely delicious ice cream cake made with love- look no further. We are a huge ice cream cake family- our daughter wanted a cookie dough and cookies and cream ice cream cake for her birthday and Williams and Co. did not disappoint. We will never order one from anywhere else! Their communication, flexibility, and passion for what they do is unmatchable. Thank you so much for making our girl’s celebration that much sweeter!“

“Crash delicious, while food from a company that has a great sustainability consciousness“

“Some of the friendliest people on the planet!! The food is beyond compare with specials that change daily. Whatever you are hungry for from nachos to the most amazing Prime Rib in the area Deb, Cliff and their kitchen staff always bring their best to you! The entertainment is never disappointing and the bar staff (upstairs or downstairs) are always welcoming and friendly! Whether you are looking for a family friendly place or to get a few drinks with friends The Richmond Hotel is my favorite place to visit!“

“Food: 5 pancakes, two scrambled eggs, bacon, and orange juice. I feel like 5 pancakes for one person to eat but I was able to take the remaining two as to-go! It was hot and fresh.
Service: Yes, it's a seat yourself. It could take some time for someone to bring you the menu and take your order. Like, 10 minutes to 15 minutes wait. However, the customer service was excellent.
Atmosphere: I liked the window booths as I could enjoy the natural light and view what's going on outside while enjoying my meal.
I tipped because how pleased I was during my visit. I'm an OTR driver from Memphis, TN. I'm going to save this place on Google maps so I can visit again.“

“The best pizza in town“

“Excellent service!!!!! Great view of the river!“

“We love Taphouse! In fact we came here for Easter brunch and give it a 10/10. Came with 5 kids and the staff was so nice and accommodating. This is our go to for date night and take out.“

“My wife and I were in the area for doctor visits and decided to dine out as it was around 5PM.

We pulled in to a strip mall for Chinese and saw the iHop a few doors down.

We looked at Google reviews and decided iHop it was!

Xavier greeted us with a huge smile and friendly tone.. we were quickly seated and provided menus.

The food, presentation and service provided by Xavier were all on point! Overall a very pleasant dining experience!
