“Amazing Restaurant! Good food, service and cocktails .. Sam the server was very informative about the restaurants daily events ( happy hour, brunch etc.) I will definitely return ..“

“I really enjoyed having dinner here. I ordered the burger and it's probably one of the best burgers I've had in a couple years. The staff was very friendly and the drinks are on point. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a dinner date“

“I met a couple of my old coworkers there December 20th after 4 years. I wanted to go to a highly rated family-run place and this establishment didn't disappoint. The burgers, meatloaf and pita wraps were excellent. The owner Vinnie greeted us and seated us, then came by to chat with us. The server was attentive and seemed to like her job. About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the Harrison PATH station. I will be making future visits there with old collegues.“

“If you’re looking for a hidden gem - no frills, I repeat, no frills type of place - Woods is your spot.Full disclosure: Nivea (the bartender) is my mom and has bartended alongside Tony and his wife (the owners) for more than 20 years. My mom loves the place so much, you can find her there on her off days. Tony is the man! One of a kind.The place is special - a perfect, dive bar with Portuguêse flair. Make sure you bring cash for the jukebox and pool table, and order an espresso with Sambuca.“

“I went to this place in a clutch. Wanted some food and a drink after a late show at NJPAC in Newark after midnight. It is bar food; jalapeño poppers, wings, burger, etc but very good. The bartender was courteous and despite it appeared most patrons were usuals, we were treated well being it was a first time for us there.“

“Just got back from a thoroughly enjoyable meal at Shaw-naé’s House on Van Duzer. The sangria was plentiful, the food was fresh, hot and tasty, the wait staff attentive, and the ambience was perfecto (my wife sang to ALL the songs!). Too full for dessert, but I was eyeing that peach cobbler! Next time!“

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“Had a wonderful lunch with my daughter and entire family today after my daughter’s graduation MSU Go Redhawks! Highly recommended for the amazing food and beautiful atmosphere!“

“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The chili sauce is sweeter than I prefer; I'm more of a spicy person.
I did visit during a relatively quiet time, but my food took a long time to arrive. Since I don't drink alcohol, the wait was a little tedious and made me hungry.
Everything else was excellent 👍“

“I’m just saying every time I come in here… everything has been 5/5
It surprises me every time that I feel comfortable exploring the menu.
I have trust in this place. I love it too bc it’s “hidden”
The place itself is nice. Cozy esk
The coffee is also ❤️
Btw I have come for breakfast and lunch“

“i went & i lovedddd the guy working there!!! he was so funny & it just immediately felt like i was a regular, despite having been there for the first time. the sauce options were CRAZYYYY and yummy as hell. the only thing i would change is that the wings were slightly burnt on the outside, but it wasn’t unbearable to deal with. the sauce is what made the wings soooo good“

“Sat at the bar and CT was serving. She provided awesome service !“

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

“The best Wiener Schnitzel outside Austria!!!!👍“

“My husband and I are total foodies and love supporting small businesses, and this place was recommended to us by a friend. We were in the mood for something that felt like a dinner date without heading too far from home, and Adour totally hit the mark. Let me tell you, for the affordable prices, the quality of the food blew us away. The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for cozy, elevated, and with great vibes all around. We kept it classic with a rosé and a Hugo Spritz (both so refreshing), for starters we got the mussels in tomato sauce, and for dinner we ordered the lamb chops and the Adour burger with truffle fries - absolutely to die for. We ended the night with their apple crumble dessert, and it was the perfect finish. 😍 Bonus: they serve brunch, too! No need to trek to JC or Hoboken for that cute, trendy, affordable brunch spot, it’s right here in the neighborhood. Tell George I sent you! 😏“

“So didn't know what to expect,But the food and owner were great had mozzarella sticks they were out of the park and sauce was great Then we each had a chicken sandwich and no complaints It was juicy not dry so all I can say is 5 stars“

“Excellent start to the day!!“

“Fabulous Thanksgiving experience. Our party included a person who uses a wheelchair, and everyone at Chadwick’s could not have been more gracious and accommodating. Truly exceptional.“

“Great Food, Great Service, Great Vibe!“

“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!“

“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.“

“Great experience with great friends we are from Puerto Rico and Boston . In loving with the Turkey dinner offer“

“I have walked past this place so many times and always wanted to go in. My family and I ate lunch here after celebrating my graduation. The service was a bit slow. Our waiter went missing for a decent amount of time and we sat there with no drinks for over 30 mins. We sat outside which is why we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The lobster roll was so good. Would come back with friends for a happy hour.“

“My girlfriend Mary and I celebrated her birthday at The Basement, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was truly phenomenal and the service was excellent—warm, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. The atmosphere made the night feel special, and everything we ordered exceeded expectations. I recommend making a reservation and giving yourself a little extra time for parking in the area. You really need to go—this restaurant is exceptional.“

“Highly recommend! We had our wedding at Galloping Hill Golf Course in the summer of 2025. The day was everything we could have hoped for and everything went so smooth! We worked with Emily throughout the process and she was great to communicate with. Any questions were answered right away. We wanted a venue that had both inside and outdoor options and loved that it had a covered patio for use all night. Ellis was our day of coordinator and both of our bridal attendants made the day run so smooth. Our guests loved cocktail hour and dinner. There was a great amount of food we went with the seafood station, pasta, Brazilian, and Chinese. We also did the breakfast sandwiches to go for the end of the night! The golf course made great photo backgrounds as well. We had the best time and would do it all over again if we could!“

“Good atmosphere and great service.“

“We’ve been coming to Maggies Town Tavern in Little Falls for about five years now. I have to say that every time we come the food is absolutely delicious! The staff are friendly and attentive. This has become one of our favorite places to eat. I highly recommend Maggies to anyone looking for a great food experience!“

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“Seasonal dishes fresh and beautifully presented! Friendly and helpful team with excellent dish recommendations :)“

“Great meal and great service in their lovely outdoor garden.“

“The best naberhood bar that I've been to in many years“

“Amazing prime rib with incredible au jus! The risotto was a hit, and the calamari was tender and delicious. The spaghetti with shrimp was the only miss, and the chicken Parmesan could’ve been crisper. Still, with great service, solid drinks, and a lively vibe, it’s definitely worth a visit — reservations recommended!“

“Love it…..try it soongtreat menu“

“I already enjoyed going to this place but stopped sitting by the bar because one of the bartenders wasn’t so friendly so when ever I go my group just sits at a table. Went in on Sunday with some friends and decided to give the bar seating another shot. So glad I did because we got Amber and she was a DOLL!! Amber recommend a great drink off the new Spring menu and it was 10/10.I will definitely start sitting at the bar again when ever she’s working.“

“Our server, Antonio, was fantastic. I can't say enough about his service skills and humor. If we ever get back to the NYC area, we'll be back to Metropolis. We were a party of 12, it felt like it was just my wife and I, that's how personable Antonio was/is.“

“Shamsiyat was an outstanding server at Applebee’s! From the moment we were seated, she was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly professional. She checked in regularly, made sure our drinks were always refilled, and made the entire dining experience enjoyable. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service really stood out.“
