“We love Pappy’s. We visit friends around the area often and we’ve been to Pappy’s twice now and it never misses. Soooo tasty. We’ve tried every blend 20 oz smoothie and it’s just perfect.

Donald always makes our smoothies and he’s the best. And when we get a big order he makes our first so we can enjoy while waiting. That’s service ? my husband and I love Pappy’s!

Haven’t tried their food but one day we will. We’re on a smoothie blend kick right now.“

“What do you do when your son eats your leftover enchiladas on Friday night? You go back on Saturday! Husband had the steak salad. Lots of steak.“

“Chef Melissa Mak is amazing. We’ve been dining at The Front Porch regularly for the past 12 months and not only is the food creative and delicious (Asian fusion pub food, so YUMMY!), the staff is super friendly and the drinks are awesome. We’ve had almost everything on the menu and you won’t be disappointed.“

“As a Queens native who moved to Jersey, finding a spot that feels like home is no easy task. But Bogies Hoagies has made the transition so much easier! Their sandwiches are absolutely incredible—packed with flavor, and they've got a style all their own. They even remind me of the legendary subs at Sal, Chris & Charlie’s in Astoria. This place is definitely a local staple, and I’m so glad I found it. If you’re craving a delicious, satisfying sandwich, Bogies Hoagies is a must-visit! So much variety and wonderful service.“

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

“We had a great dinner tonight at Happy Vegans. We were greeted warmly and offered a taste of their special dish kofta, which is a delicious mix of spices, tomato and bulgur. I had the happy vegan burger which was huge with three patties made from kofka, lettuce tomatoes and a large serving of fries. We were given mayonnaise and ketchup to dip the fries in. Baklava for dessert. I highly recommend this charming restaurant. Easy street parking.“

We’ve had the burgers, mac n’ cheese, subs, chickpea toona, empanadas, chili - all delicious! Kurt and company are super nice people and do great work helping Halfway Home Animal Rescue. So thankful for this place.“

“Given the state of our world, sometimes it's fun to immerse yourself in a distant land where chivalry, honor, and justice still exist. Well, nestled in Northern New Jersey, in the shadow of the Manhattan and just a stone's throw away from Meadowlands sports and entertainment complex resides such a place: Medieval Times.

Bring yourself, your family, sense of adventure, and appetite.“

“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.“

“😍 I Love ❤️ their chicken and steak 🥩 tacos 🌮 and their Melanesa steak 🥩 sandwich 🥪 🥰❤️“

“Awesome!!! I am in here multiple times per week. My go to is co co pow WOW which is incredible.

If you like strawberry banana then go with kinky reggae.

The one thing that very few baristas do is they give you overspill of half a cup or something but sometimes I watch them either throw it out or pour it into another cup and put in fridge. Maybe that's for them. I dunno. I always love when the person gives me the extra!!“

“I had an amazing dining experience at Fortaleza, and a huge part of that was thanks to Karen, our server. She was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was perfect, and her friendly, accommodating nature made us feel so welcomed. Karen anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and her service was flawless. It’s clear she truly cares about her guests’ experience. I highly recommend dining here and hope to be served by her again! Visit Karen!!! At Fortaleza Garfield NJ“

“We hosted a surprise 60th birthday party this past weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the first call to set it up to the moment we walked out the door, the staff made sure it was such a great experience. The people who work there are so attentive and kind. The managers Bryan and Kelly were so helpful in planning our party and Ivan is a rockstar. He took care of our party of 20 and made sure we had everything we needed. We never had to look for him, he was always checking on us and providing excellent service. He truly is so great at what he does. We had a sit down lunch in their cottage room which was so nicely decorated. the space was perfect. We felt like we were in our own restaurant. It was cozy but spacious and they were so accommodating with how we wanted it set up. We were able to bring balloons and decorations and the staff even helped us set up. They had a curtain up in the doorway so we were able to really surprise the guest of honor. Our lunch was delicious. We chose to do the seated option with 3 shareable apps and we picked a menu of 4 main meals from their party menu. Most of us ordered the shepherds pie and it was some of the best we had ever had. The presentation was cute. It came in a skillet which was served on a board with Irish soda bread. It was so delicious. The show stopper was the shareable Irish egg rolls. We couldn’t stop talking about them. The drinks were really good and the bar staff was really attentive to the party. The kids ordered from the long kids menu and they really enjoyed theirs as well. The pricing was very reasonable and worth every penny. We were able to bring our own cake and they cut it up and served it for us which was so nice. I can’t thank them enough for how special they made this experience. Everyone in our party had such an amazing time. The staff here are incredible. I would absolutely consider them for your next party.“

“Tonight I had the pleasure to dine at Bici restaurant in Ramsey, NJ. From the minute I walked in, I knew I was going to like it! You are greeted in such a warm and friendly manner. One of the owners, Marcello makes his rounds around the room speaking to his customers and making you feel at home. Everything I ordered was delicious and the waiters are so polite and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere and I will be back again. Thank you staff for your hospitality. It’s a BYOB. It’s a small restaurant with outdoor dining. Definitely 5 stars!!!!!“

I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service.
