“I recently visited this Subway shop, and I was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. The service was exceptional — the staff (Mr. Ashok) was not only kind and helpful but also attentive to every detail, making sure I had exactly what I wanted. The quality of the sandwich was top-notch, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors that left me satisfied and impressed. On top of that, the cleanliness of the store was impeccable, which is something not often seen at many other locations. If you’ve been disappointed by other Subway branches in the past, this location will definitely change your perspective and set a new standard for what you expect from Subway. Highly recommend!“

“I had the most incredible dining experience at this Mediterranean restaurant! The food was absolutely divine, with every dish bursting with flavor and freshness. From the creamy hummus to the tender lamb, every bite was a taste sensation. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with beautiful decor and a cozy ambiance that made me feel like I was in the Mediterranean. But what really stole the show was their innovative use of technology. The robotic moving table that delivers plates to our tables is not only efficient but also hilarious! As it whizzed by, saying "Enjoy your meal!" in a robotic voice, I couldn't help but giggle. It added a fun and playful touch to the dining experience. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who were happy to answer all my questions about the menu and the portions were generous. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Mediterranean cuisine in a fun and modern setting :)“

“Food is amazing. Always fresh and delicious“

“This is my favorite bubble tea place EVER!! The brown sugar bubble tea is almost addictive and the only time I don’t get it is when it’s closed on Wednesdays. The macarons are incredible too. I have never been to a place like this where I come back to it constantly. I would give 10000 stars if possible“

“A huge thank you to DeeDee’s Pizza for sponsoring food for our Diwali events this year! 🍕✨ Your generosity and community spirit is truly appreciated, and we’re so grateful for your support.

I personally order from DeeDee’s all the time — their pizzas are always fresh, and absolutely delicious — and it meant so much to have them be a part of our community celebrations this year. 💛

A special shoutout to Jack, who was wonderful to work with — kind, responsive, and so eager to help. Every time we reach out, DeeDee’s is ready to give back to community through the amazing food they have and that says so much about who they are as a business.

Thank you, DeeDee’s Pizza, for your amazing food, kindness, and generosity — you helped make our Diwali celebrations even more special! 🙏🌟“

“Best long horn location I’ve been too. The food isn’t done anything different, but it fresher and to me they put effort into it. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. Been here three times in a 6 month span with two different waiters and they treat us like regulars.“

“Best pizza in New Jersey! I’m honestly surprised Dave Portnoy hasn’t come to rate this place a 10. Their pizza is incredibly crispy, and the ingredients are simple but high quality. They’re always making different pies throughout the day, so there’s always something fresh and delicious coming out.

The customer service is impeccable. I’m not from New Jersey, but every time I walk in, they treat me like family. They also have a great lunch special—two slices of any kind. I usually go for the vodka cheese and a pepperoni slice, and it never disappoints. Oh, and you have to try the sugar-free cream soda—it’s so good!

100/10 would recommend!“

“I don’t get what all the hype is all about. It’s definitely good pizza, the best in this area but they’re the priciest. The location absolutely sucks. Parking is even worse. With all the money that place makes ud think they’d get a better location.
I came to eat w my 5 year old during dinner time and we ended up going somewhere else cause there wasn’t any tables.
The guys working are kinda hot tho :)“

“First time visiting here. Wife, son and I brought in some subs and snagged a table. A quartet of guitarists were performing some bluegrass tunes. Prices were reasonable for 5oz, 10oz, 15oz, and larger growlers. Very clean glassware. Son had Band Practice, me and wife had Creamsicle. Left with 3 four packs at $20 each. Staff were friendly. Bathrooms very clean. Felt like I was in an old Irish pub in Ireland. Lots of weekly calendar of events, trivia night, karaoke, etc.“

“I had the lemongrass banh mi and it was amazing. Nicest people“

“Great old fashioned diner with solid menu and very accomadating staff.“

“** Stopped in today while I was out running errands to pick up a slice of their delicious Sicilian to go. I have to say it's the first time that I'm disappointed. An elderly man was pulling the slice with his bare hands onto a plate to put in a bag and then took my cash and gave me change and bills back. I wish he would have worn gloves if he's going to be touching money and then touching the pizza I'm going to be eating.**
Everything is delish from the drinks, appetizers, dinners, desserts! The best bloody mary's, clams casino, appetizer and the prime rib entree melts like butter, the mashed potatoes and gravy are amazing, and I usually don't like mashed. The tortoni dessert is delish, and the cappuccino too ! And if you want pizza, I suggest the Sicilian slice it's great !“

“had dinner with friends tonight. the service and atmosphere were outstanding and the food was excellent. Oh and the tamales are the best. I'll be going back well done Carlos and staff.“

“We love this place! Great Sabrett DWDs. My favorite is the Spicy Sabrett with either cheese or mustard. Good selection of toppings. There's also chips and drinks available. Right next to the railroad tracks in Jamesburg. A great easy and quick lunch!“

“Penstock is great. Their tea is awesome and it always hits the spot. Also, the staff is very helpful and down to Earth.“

“First time back since 1973! Even better than I remember it. California cheese burger, fries and a soda. Served up in about 3 or 4 minutes, hot and fresh. I will not wait another 50 years to go back! LOL“

“We're never unhappy with our meals from Qdoba! Always fresh and filling!“

“We needed a place to get together after a game with a lot of people. The Colonial didn’t hesitate when I said 20 people. We came and they sat us in the back so we could all be together. Phil and Pedro were an amazing team. They organized our checks by family and all of our food came out hot, fast and delicious. So very thankful for this option in the area!“

“If you’re going to Pino’s Bar and you’re lucky enough to have Wayne behind the bar, you’re in for a five-star experience. As the senior bartender, Wayne sets the tone not just for drink quality, but for the entire customer experience. His level of professionalism and consistency is something every service industry venue should strive for.

First off, the drinks were absolutely on point—balanced, well-presented, and served quickly even during the busy rush. Wayne clearly understands flavor profiles and customer preferences. He asked just the right questions and made tailored recommendations that hit every mark. His execution shows someone who takes pride in his craft, not just someone pouring drinks.

But what really stood out was the customer service. Wayne doesn’t just serve you; he engages you. His ability to read the room and interact appropriately with each customer is rare. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, he makes you feel welcome, remembered, and respected. That’s a major KPI in hospitality: guest connection and retention, and Wayne nails it.

He also keeps the bar area spotless and organized, all while multitasking with ease—another performance KPI that too often gets overlooked. From managing tabs and keeping drinks flowing to training new staff with patience and clarity, Wayne brings leadership and efficiency without sacrificing hospitality. His time-to-service rate was excellent, even during peak hours, and you could see younger bartenders following his lead. That’s real operational influence.

In short, Wayne doesn’t just represent Pino’s—he elevates it. If you’re evaluating what makes a bar memorable and high-functioning, Wayne is a walking case study. Pino’s is lucky to have him, and so are the customers.“

“After spending a month in Vietnam, including time in Da Nang (my favorite city), this restaurant always brings me back the country! My girlfriend and I have eaten here a few times and the food is consistently delicious. The Bun Cha is exceptionally tasty. For anyone who loves Vietnamese food, you need to come here.“

“Food is always good, people are friendly the only problem I had is outside of this. Today when I paid I used my debit card instead of paying cash like I have every other time this was around 12:15pm today. The employee made a big deal about it being a NASA Card (my mom worked at Nasa & I have had an account there since 10th grade) By 1:30pm someone had attempted to use my card for a $1,339 AT&T purchase that was declined three times then used some Delta D account to charge $799.60 and unfortunately the second attempt work. I just came from the location and and all I had was smoke blown up my but. Either an employee or patron did something and they have a camera inside the store but was told the owner has the key. If the owner would just let me know when he will be there I will show up and we can handle this like gentlemen. I have been going to this place for over 5 years and work near by. For the record the card has been cancelled and NASA is tracking where charges are being attempted from. Paul“

“The staff was friendly and efficient. The place was clean and comfortable. The food was tasty, and the portions were decent. It's a bit pricey for a burrito lunch (35 bucks for 2 people), but almost every eatery falls into that category nowadays.“

“We went there for the first time tonight. The staff was very courteous. The atmosphere was beautiful. The food was absolutely fantastic as we had their sampler. Didn’t feel rushed. The cappuccino and mousse topped off a truly wonderful experience. We will be back again and again…. and again. ❤️🇪🇹❤️“

“Great Food, Friendly Staff. Great experience!!“

“Delicious Peruvian food! Our favorite plates are the lomo saltado & saltado de camarón.“

“This restaurant has by far the best thai food I've ever had (and their portions are huge). My favorite item on the menu is the Guay Teow Rad Prig; it comes with tons of sauce and is extremely flavorful. Their fried ice cream is also a family favorite. I've also tried the mango sticky rice, which is very good. I highly suggest coming here!“

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨“
