“We arrived early and were able to be seated. I made reservations for their new room, the “Cove” advertised as more intimate. Thinking quiet, perfect for date night. There were 2 large tables of 8 or more. Tables close together so noise level was at a high. Food was good. Lobster bisque, prawns, sea bass, pappardelle.“
“I absolutely love this place. Everything is fresh and delicious. These dogs are creative, are made in house, and the options are endless. I am consistently going back to try them all.Vegetarian options: Can switch out any hot dog with a soy dog“
“Went for lunch to try this place as they do specialize in marathi food.Sevice was fast and really good and fast. We did have a chance to talk to the owners as well and they are very friendly people. The interiors are also really good.Chaas- 5/5( loved it )Vada pav-4/5( felt like the vada was refried but taste was good)Rava fried prawns- 4/5( prawns felts a little undercooked for my taste)Tandoori promfret - 5/5( fish was juicy and good)Jeera rice-5/5Garlic rice-5/5Dal kanda- 3/5(was spicy for me and as well the garam masala taste was overpowering)Chicken xacuti- 4/5( chicken felt little undercooked otherwise was close to a xacuti curry)“
“Made a reservation through Resy app and had no issues getting a table for 4. Upon arrival, there was plenty of free parking in their parking lot. We were greeted and promptly taken care of by our hostesses after walking in. After our group had all arrived, we decided to order a bunch of small plates and a couple pizzas, so as not to completly engorge ourselves. We ordered the Bao Buns, Chicharron Arancini, Buffalo Cauliflower, Salmon Crudo, Truffle Friesm Goat Cheese & Bacon Pizza, and Broken Burrata Pizza. Each bite was super flavorful and delicious. Our favorites were the Buffalo Cauliflower and Arancini. Both pizzas were also super tasty. The crunch of the thin crust made it so enjoyable. We ended our night with a sliver of Tiramisu. Just enough to finish off the meal without feeling overly stuffed. 10/10 would highly recommend.“
“I first came to this place a year ago for my birthday. I didn't come back because it brought back not-so-good memories of that year. Fast forward a year later and friend wanted to come and so I said ok, lets give it a go. It was a good decision.After waiting about 10 minutes to see the host/hostess, we were seated quickly upstairs. I cannot express how great the service was, from the bus boys to our great waitress, Allison (sp), who made the evening extra special. Both she and the boys made me blush and made that dining experience very memorable, so THANK YOU!The food were amazing. The bread was good. The appetizer we chose, I believe it was the octopus, was GREAT! I ordered the Jersey pizza and it was fresh and delicious. My friend ordered the Peppa Pig pizza and it sure was meaty. Both pizzas were actually large enough for two to share. My other friend ordered pasta and she seemed to have enjoyed it, and she ordered the half size so it was just the perfect portion for her. And for dessert, we had to order a cake... and it came with a surprise. A very pleasant surprise so again, THANK YOU very much to the staff. I just wish my mojito (or was it a margarita?) had less ice and more drink lol.So, from the atmosphere to the food and to the great staff, I'd definitely keep coming back again.“
“Great food and energetic environment. Worth every penny if you want good seafood as well as other great pasta dishes! Try the calamari, crispy lobster dumplings and Italian sausage appetizers, you can't go wrong with either one! The pappardelle bolognese is amazing, my favorite dish thus far. The surf & turf is amazing as well, it will not disappoint!“
“Went on a Sunday afternoon to watch some NFL Playoff football. Bartenders were fast/friendly, drinks were cold/served perfect, and food was good. There are TV's everywhere, so there really isn't a bad seat. Great atmosphere, friendly crowd, with a sports bar look and feel. Plenty of parking and bathrooms are spotless. When in town again, we will definitely stop in.“
“Tons of wing flavors, I haven’t tried ALL of them, but I plan to. The wings them self are meaty, and cook crispy. I LOVE that. Pricing is regular, drinks are so good! The service was ON POINT and I can’t wait to come back and try more win flavors!“
“Nice place. Very friendly and accommodating staff. It is not as “fancy” as many of the reviews make it appear. We made a stop by here with the whole fam. Although there is no kids menu it was casual enough for them and there were plenty of options for them.Kid-friendliness: No kids menu but plenty of options for them.“
“This review is mainly about the bar and entertainment at Rocky's Bar and Grill. Since I have never eaten there (yet) I am not rating the food. First, with so many local bars having entertainment closing/closed since covid, I'm greatful for those surviving and some thriving providing musical entertainment whether it be karaoke, DJ or live music to its patrons. Been going to Rockys, which is about 25 miles away for me for years on occasion primarily to see classic and hard rock bands, mostly cover bands perform. There is ampke room between the band and patrons if they decide to dance and seating surrounding the open floor area. People attending all seem to be there to have a good time and have never seen any issues. The bar is not fancy and that's alright with me. They have a back area outside with tables for sitting, drinking, private conversation, smoking, etc. which works for me. There is a parking lot behind the bar and usually fills quickly when a band is playingweekend nights. The staff are attentive, hustle to serve everyone and are generally friendly. Drink prices are reasonable and pour seems standard for (my) mixed drinks. The bar reminds me a little bit like Moby's in Woodbridge but with more room to see/enjoy the band. If you're into live music I would recommend going to Rockys to see some of the local bands. Saw both Kathouse and Stereo Circus bands there and loved them both. Love a place that supports live music. Will be back!!“
“I Love a good Dive BarAnd I don't mean that in a derogatory way.The bartender was spot on and the food was comfort food at its bestChef was full of energy and cooks right in front of you like days of old.If I still drank often and lived close this would be my local bar. That's a Fact.I recommend if you want something a little old school then check it out“
“The place is just fun to eat at; great lighting, fun decorations. All our food was great, and the create your own taco menu was AWESOME! Prices were very reasonable as well, and staff was on point. (Went here before a show at the State Theater)“
“I love this place! Good quality food, nice employees + all employees are on top of their service. Fun place to eat and enjoy drinks. All employees are welcoming, especially Ashley. She's fun and friendly. No complaints whatsoever of this place, highly recommend for anyone looking for quick service, quality food, and a good time. 5 stars!“
“Great selection of cocktails, wines, beers, etc! It's a small and cozy space with seating at the bar and smaller tables/barrels. There is a private room in the back that can be reserved as well. I tried the yuzu cocktail and it was light and refreshing. The margherita pizza was good as well. Service was quick and attentive. They also sell a limited selection of alcohol. Would definitely return!“
“Great place, great food, and awesome tall beers. Only improvement would be to please pay attention to what you have on your many nice TV’s. You should always have live local NYC sports on. I was just there and most of the TV’s had a 4 year old football game on!!! Meanwhile there was a Stadium Series Rangers game on and a Knicks game on after that. But besides that I love the place.“

“The best Indo-Chinese food we have had in the US. The service was exceptional with the Chef himself coming out to check in on us. Each and every dish was delicious. The robots help deliver food to the table. This was quite unique.This was a special dinner for us, with family flying in from India, Atlanta and DC to celebrate a weekend together. And SpiceRack made it a special one. Will surely repeat every time I drive up to NJ.“
“33's Tavern has slammin’ tacos and great wings! I’ve had the fish tacos multiple times before and they never disappoint. Today was the first time we got wings and they were big and juicy! My husband got the steak tacos and they were also scrumptious! They are located right on Old Bridge Turnpike! (There is one wing missing that was consumed before I thought about sharing this gem!) 33’s is a bar, but you can totally go in and eat and/or grab takeout! Prices are extremely reasonable for what you get! ??“
“Our server, Eric, was the absolute best. He steered us the right directions on drinks (all of ours were amazing-- if you're a Mezcal fan, try the smoky marg), was perfectly attentive in checking in on us, and fun to chat with. The food was hot and came out fast despite the restaurant being packed. This is my second time at Tio's, and I'll certainly be back in the future.Vegetarian options: There are several all veggie options that are delicious!Parking: If it's busy, it can be tricky to find parking. I just "bit the bullet" and parked in the lot across the street because I don't mind walking, but those with mobility restrictions might be limited//have to be patient waiting for a spot to open up.“
“Hi Colleen & Oh’ Brian Staff,Thank you for everything YOU personally did to go above and beyond to make today happen for our family’s celebration. The atmosphere, the positive energy, level of preparedness, attentiveness to our guests were all amazing. Arriving at Oh’Brian’s from a solemn service to warm, welcoming staff was really wonderful. As guests arrived, they were brought to our private seating area and offered beverages and drinks from the bar. As people were greeting and gathering and getting situated, it was clear, staff was attentive and present.As discussed having the buffet style, everything was set and organized.People raved about the Garden Salad; The hot food entrees were phenomenal and plentiful; our guests felt comfortable heading up to get another plate. None of our guest felt rushed at any time and were grateful for being asked for drink refills. The bar service/staff was fantastic. The timing of the desserts was perfect. Despite the drizzly, dreariness of the day, guests took advantage of the canopied outdoor seating area-which is also lovely.We realize a restaurant works as a team, and this team was fabulous. Again, thank you, Colleen, for your open communications, input/feedback, flexibility and sharing various options for alternate layouts for accommodations. Again, planning something like this, there’s a deeper appreciation of having staff immediately demonstrate sincere kindness and understanding. Our family is truly grateful for the entire staff’s professionalism throughout this event. We would recommend Oh’ Brian’s for any family gathering, work event, get-together or to meet up with friends for food & drinks at this great, local place.Vegetarian options: Wide selection of various salad entreesMultiple vegetables side dishesGreat selection of pasta dishes with multiple choices of meatless sauces (marinara, pink vodka, etc)Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options; dishes with meat could be prepared withoutSome Menu options are naturally gluten freeWide Variety of Salad ChoicesPlenty of pasta dishesPotatoes (not fried) gluten freeMeats- ask about specific marinades (some are gluten free)Chicken- can be grilled w/o marinade (GF)Parking: Gigantic, well lit, parking lot-Equipped with separate curb cuts with clear signage for entering and exiting the lotKid-friendliness: Kids’ menu/ relaxed environmentWheelchair accessibility: Many handicap parking spaces availableADA accessible rampNo stairs required to gain entry or entrance to dining areaRestrooms are also on the same main floor“
“Oh, how I wish I lived closer to this awesome establishment! A flavor of Dublin close to home. Fine looking pub inside and out. Lots of beers to choose from and great traditional Irish fare. Loved every minute of being here. Great service from beginning till end. Only complaint was they were missing County Mayo's flag at time of our visit“
“This is always, always my go to place for a great craft draft. In the midst of the Heineken and Sam Adams they have never disappointed to have a hidden gem of a beer available. Every few weeks they cycle through a different great beer. The service is super friendly and welcoming, and a chill dive atmosphere with the rest of the patrons is tye vibe here. Def get the tots!!!! Touchtunes available as well. Love having this place as my local dive.“
“There were a couple of parties going on, with children who were loud. The restaurant is loud! But the food was excellent. We were celebrating a birthday, but besides wishing her a happy birthday as we signed in, nothing "special" was done. They did not have the ribs that were on the menu, and that was a bit of a disappointment.“
“It is not your regular bar just to get yourself a glass of beer, it is a place to enjoy friends, hear music, and try and forget the words of the day. Very crowded but not shoulder to shoulder. Just close together. It is the perfect place to celebrate St. Patty's Day or any holiday with a group of friends or strangers that are about to become friends.“
“My husband and I celebrated our daughters baptism at Angelina’s and I couldn’t thank them enough for accommodating a big group of family! The Italian food was so great, the staff was exceptional and very understanding due to (some of our family coming in late to the restaurant). Shout out to Lia and the other lady that assisted in setting up our venue so beautifully in the beginning till the end, to Gio, and the rest of the family staff, chef etc etc.. our family had a great time.“
“Originally a blacksmith shop and inn before turning into a tavern with the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. I may have been thrown out of here, several times. This bar is proudly #14 on NJ.com's Best Dive Bars list. I really like this place, wish it was closer to home. We used to find it by the giant satellite dish they had outside. I once tried to kiss a girl who worked here. She was so horrified she ran into the street. "Nooo..." Good times. Recently renovated before Covid. Bar top is lacquered plywood with a knotty pine fascia and walls. No foot rail but the floor is burnished (scorched) plywood. Stools are metal frame backed with cushion seats. Open 11AM to 2AM. Package goods available. Allegedly, there's a prison style two seater bathroom, sans privacy screen. More local history at keenbug.blogspot.comEvidence of billiards and electronic darts. Unused fireplace and hearth. They should should throw the Mp3 juke in the fire. Outside pen for smokers & dining al fresco. I'm told they have better food. I've seen the new menu and it looks like standard bar fare with a few salads thrown in to confuse you. Still, I miss it so...keenbug.blogspot.com/202…“
“Lovely renovated. Outstanding service.My steak was undercooked but quickly corrected. My friends veal was overcooked.She switched to a shrimp entree, which was perfect. Will go back but will order one of the shrimp entrees.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but someone came to help. No signage how to operate.“
“Attractive restaurant, close proximity to the state theater, the reason for my choosing it, with nice ambiance, and an Attentive staff. Drinks were pricey but spot on, as was the food, cooked perfectly. Desserts were large and delicious. Even comped us a birthday crème brûlée as it was my girlfriend's birthday. Overall great dining experience, but, as previously stated, a little pricey for New Brunswick.“
“Had dinner and drinks with friends! The food was the usual bar food menu and it was delicious. Service was friendly , attentive and great. The place also has a good vibe going on. My only complaint was the bar noise can get a little overwhelming! Otherwise a great place to visit!“

“My daughter had a 30th birthday party there 5 yrs ago and this past Sunday, on June 30, 2019 for her father's celebration of life and it was very clean and plenty of room for our guests. The bartender downstairs was very accommodating and friendly.“
“Always a hometown feel going to the Pub. Friendly, inviting and a nice safe environment to drink. The bartenders truly bring a hometown feel to the bar. Grab a beer, try their Pub Sauce specialty wings and meet Val, Sylvia, and Chris they are FANTASTIC. Give it a shot on Tuesday nights for Bingo!“
“The first time there what a cool place to go went next door to see a great cover bad. But the food was just good as the band. Now I can't wait to see another band there but you can served food in the theater what a great concept. I will be back soon. Great “
“We had the absolute time at Victoria's! We ordered Calamari and Salmon and both were amazing!! The fresh homemade bread was scrumptious! Joe the bartender was so friendly and made the best cocktails. Irene greeted us at the door and made sure we felt welcome and at home. From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend! we will be coming back“
“It was a nice club nice people and enjoy myself being there and the bartender ladies they was turned up out of sight LOL yes I would let my friend and family know about this place so everybody should go there Friday Saturday and check it out“
“This was surely an unknown treasure . I really thought it was a regular bottle shop , but boooooom, there was a decent sized bar inside .: and what’s even better is they have taps with Stella and few other beers . Amazing place …Service was so good. The waitress had all smiles on her and served patiently . Loved Stella draft .. they have some TVs to watch and drink. Price was awesome too. Just about 4.50 for a Stella . Regular bars charge 6-8 $ . Everything amazing but why still a 4 ⭐️ ? I didn’t see any food menu. Not sure if they serve food. I know it’s not a full fledged bar/restaurant but some food will help.Overall an amazing experience…“
“Excelent neighborhood bar! Most bars in the area have mediocre or bad food. This place is different. They care about what they serve. Wings and bar pies are outstanding and home made specials. Bar tenders are fast and attentive and atmosphere is friendly. 5 stars for a fantastic spot!“
“I spent a lunch with a friend in the bar area - high-top table adjacent to bar - not in the dining room, so I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries with a Blanton's bourbon - YES! They stock Blanton's! The burger was great, and the fries were perfect, crispy and not greasy. I also had a piece of cheesecake with strawberrie topping for desert and that was good, too. Between the bourbon, food, and desert, the bill was a bit higher than usual for lunch, but the prices are fair! In the summer they have outdoor seating and live music. Great place!“
“Certainly a mouthful, Garden State Bar + Ryders Lane Wine & Spirits in Milltown, is the definition of a hidden gem, offering a very cozy and laid-back atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding. The bar boasts a simple yet diverse menu, featuring options like wings, flatbreads, comfort foods, hummus platters, tex-mex, burgers, and Mama's special selection that has bhel, thepla, and plenty of tandoori style options. I opted for the Tandoori Masala Sauce Chicken Wings, a unique and flavorful choice, paired with a refreshing Miller Lite.What sets this place apart is its rare combination of serving Chaat-style Indian foods alongside alcoholic beverages. It's a distinctive offering that you won't easily find elsewhere, especially in New Jersey. While not a large venue, it's an ideal spot for a few friends to enjoy affordable drinks, catch a sports game, or grab a quick lunch in the Milltown area.Garden State Bar stands out as a welcoming local watering hole, providing a relaxed, well priced, and friendly environment for its patrons.“
“Kiera and Sherry are tow extremely hard working hosts they provide excellent service they have reasonable prices and always smiling when when assisting clients. They are top notch. You can go there for a few drinks and whatch sports of have a quite diner with someone special . You can always expect to have a wonderful evening Dave ElliottKid-friendliness: If you don't enjoy yourself there then you probably came in with an attitude. You will always have fun and a great timeParking: Parking is plenty full and easy accessWheelchair accessibility: They are located on the first floor with a slight ramp to enter restaurant“
“The atmosphere is great here. The DJ had a set going when we got there. Our service was attentive and very welcoming. Our server Rye, was so kind and genuine, and we were lucky to have such a helpful person serving us that night. The pork bao buns were outstanding and so were the pickle fries. The drinks were also excellent. It was one of our birthdays and we were happy to celebrate here. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner thoroughly and will be back again. Highly Recommended??“
“Food was delicious and reasonable for someone on a budget. Was greeted and seated right away upon entering the restaurant. Booth seating was very uncomfortable and tight, need to upgrade those old seats. Service was okay nothing special basic.“
“Had to update my review and drop a star from 5 to 4.Houlihan's is unique among chain restaurants and bars.Very nice atmosphere, large bar, and better than average food.Why the 4 stars?Two reasons:1. Limited draft beer selection2. They removed the AMAZING Prime Rib when Covid hit, and they never brought it back.The Prime Rib was the best I've had in just about any restaurant, and it's a shame they removed it from the menu.I also wish they'd bring back the wings they had a number of years ago - green jalapeno wings or something - they were amazing.I miss the avocado toast here as well.Great appetizers - the Ahi Tuna app is excellent.Buffalo and Thai Chili wings are both awesome.NY Strip is solid.Down Home Pot Roast - incredible.Sedona Shrimp Pasta - great.Brentwood Chicken Sandwich is very good too.Overall - a great place to grab a drink and some food - and only a couple of changes would make it 5-stars again for me.“
“Found this gem after a Rutgers Basketball Game! The food was delicious from the appetizers to the desserts. The prices were accurate in today's high economy as were the drink prices. The service was great; friendly staff. The place was clean and tables were spaced apart from each other. I did a call ahead and our table was waiting for us when we arrived. Would highly recommend and will go back!“
“I can't say enough good things about Three In One! The food is absolutely FANTASTIC! I've eaten there 4 times just this week. The food is freah, flavorful and beautifully presented. The portions are generous enough to always have some to take home.Being a Type 2 diabetic, I've been delighted to discover that the cuisine here does NOT cause my blood sugar to skyrocket like most foods do.The restaurant is very clean and has an open and uncrowded feeling. The waiters are polite and attentive without being bothersome.I'm sure I'm going to return a LOT over the coming years! It's my new FAVORITE spot to eat in and take out.“
“My cousin is attending Rutgers College and wanted to meet after class, and this was the place he picked. I was excited to check it out. When I walked in, I was carded it's been a while since that happened to me, so I was flattered, to say the least. Don't wait to be seated. Just find your spot, I found mine in front of the TV they had both basketball games on. While sitting I noticed no one came over to take my order I thought that was a bit odd, when my cousin came in we made our way over to the bar and we received all the service we needed. This is the first place I ever visited that didn't come to you. You had to come to them, lol. Different, but everyone was nice and had a smile. I had naked wings and house salad. I'm not sure what they use for the Buffalo sauce, but it was good. I left nothing but bone, lol. The salad was fresh, and I so enjoyed the Greek vinaigrette. It was delicious. They also had BINGO, and we played about 3 games before we headed out. Over all ot was a great experience, and I'll be back for those naked wings. Oh, and they gave me a drink, Cozy, as well, lol“
“Love the Chesnut!!!!!! Grab a couple cocktails and play a little pool in a quiet area. Right off route 1 easy access to all highways they have a cozy backyard if you wanna have a smoke with your drink nestled out the back behind some cover.“
“One of the staples of Rutgers. Definitely grab a stromboli from here and pair it with one of many beers on tap. Friendly service, plenty of seating, and good prices for the food. The bolis are filling and have a large number of meats and vegetables for customization.“
“The food was great and it was convenient to eat in the hotel. I got the crab burger with sweet potato fries and a side of asparagus and it was all fantastic. The service is a bit slow but it's a small restaurant and it doesn't get too busy so the bar tender also has to serve at the restaurant. If you're in a rush just tell them and they'll be quick. I also had breakfast here and did the breakfast buffet the first day which I felt wasn't really worth it and the second day I ordered and it did not take too long to come out at all. In the meanwhile I got coffee quickly at Starbucks. I had eggs and potatoes with toast and it was all great.“
“Came here with my girlfriend, I wouldn't say it was exactly welcoming at first. It's a local old school type of bar. Well know in the neighborhood. They do sell food but like any local bar that does you have to catch them at the moment everyone is ordering because its literally one person behind the bar. Prices are good and if you want to chat over some games and a drink this is the spot. Reminds me of the Alibi from shameless.“
