“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!“

“Jeff made us feel at home! I originally came in from Brooklyn, NY to come visit a friend out in Jersey! My first time here felt like I’ve been here before. Jeff recommended some special sauces to us for the wings and it stands out compared to other places. We allowed us to taste test a hot sauce, which wasn’t just hot, but flavorful as well! He held wonderful conversations with us and was able to relate to us in a lot of ways. His engagement made us want to come back! I’ll be here once again if I find myself around town again. The cook was cool too! Thanks again Jeff 🙌🏾“

“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 👍“

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

“Shirley was a great server. The food was delicious. Ordered the full rack of ribs and substituted the fries with a loaded baked potato. Had the skillet chocolate chip cookie. That presentation was not in a skillet. So I was little disappointed but it was still pretty good.“

“One of the best places I’ve visited for breakfast. The food is light and airy, and the bread is fresh from a local bakery. The Eggs Benedict was delicious, and the beet salad was flavorful and vibrant. Everything was seasoned perfectly. It’s a great mom-and-pop–run business, and I’ll definitely visit again the next time I’m in the city. ☀️🍳🥖“

“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.“

“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“

“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! 😏“

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, thanks to its family-owned operation, where the staff is known for being friendly and attentive.

“The service it’s the first thing I want to highlight Amhar was really friendly and attentive oyster were really tasty and fresh I was expecting more on the quality of the Chardonnay and cremant they had by the glass but they were okey and finally I want to suggest better ice for digestive or cocktails at the restaurant maybe big rocks or kold draft I also ordered a digestive which I specify to make an amaretto sour and add a little rye whiskey and they charge me 32 dollars for the drink I didn’t want more alcohol I just wanted my drink not to be as sweet as the amaretto next time I will try to be more specific“

“The best burger of my life. Don't pass up the corn bread!“

“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.“

“My first visit to Charlie Blood's definitely won’t be my last.
We started with the baked clams, which were fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick things off. The bar pie was exactly what you want from a classic Jersey tavern pie—thin, crispy, and packed with flavor.
For mains, the steak with shrimp scampi was outstanding. The steak was cooked perfectly and the shrimp scampi added that rich, buttery garlic flavor that made the whole dish stand out. The Drunken Onion Burger was another highlight—juicy, loaded with caramelized onions, and just downright satisfying. The owner even came out with some of their dessert options to try which ended the night perfectly.
The food, atmosphere, and overall experience made for a great first visit. Safe to say I’ll 100% be back to try even more on the menu. If you’re in the area and looking for great food in a classic local spot, Charlie Blood’s is absolutely worth the stop.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Joined a couples of friends at the Bar for the late night happy hour. My server Tamyra was excellent and went above and beyond to make sure our stay top notch. The bartender Dre was very attentive to our needs and the manager Chad came around to make sure everything was going well. The food was good but the drinks were even better and the late night happy prices were even better. I met the manager Ora on Wine Wednesdays, where certain bottles of wine are half price and she promised to carry more bottles of Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc. Thank you Ora for solving this issue, you are greatly appreciated. $$“
