My husband has a laundry list of food allergies and Steve came out to offer alterations he could make to the menu items to accommodate us. Everyone there was so friendly and the cocktail and food we had was all fresh and delicious. I could have the parmesan tomato soup everyday for the rest of my life and be happy, it was the best I have ever had. Thank you for a great lunch experience, we will definitely be back!“

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.“

“Soul Food in New Jersey gets no better than Dootsie’s Kitchen in Monroe, and that is no exaggeration. The place even rivals most soul food restaurants that I have experienced down south. You are truly transported to an authentic southern kitchen as soon as you enter the front doors, and the atmosphere is filled with warmth, joy, hospitality; and yes; the most delicious comfort food goodness that literally embraces your soul. We had catfish that was distinctly fresh, flavored to absolute perfection, along with the best macaroni and cheese (yes; with those dark bits of gooey cheese woven throughout) and every bite sent us to glory. Collard greens were top-notch. The southern chef personally came out to greet us, and the owner has such a genuine, dedicated and familiar demeanor that his presence clearly reflects the quality of the menu. Think attentive and detail-oriented, and your selections being packaged with care all. The restaurant has that spiritual after-church Sunday dinner gathering vibe and every bite is praise-worthy. Dootsie’s Kitchen will warm your spirit and your belly, whether you choose delivery or walk in - it is everything the other 5 star reviews testifies that it is.“

“Last week, we ordered 200 boxed lunches during the Staff Appreciation Week for High school North. Carlos delivered it personally and paid attention to details. Everyone enjoyed the lunch thoroughly.“

“Some of the best fried chicken and onions rings I’ve ever had in my entire life, should know cause of my job everyday I’m in a different area and this place has definitely a place in my favorite places to eat , I rarely give reviews but I had this time, freshness 10/10 hospitality 10/10 atmosphere 10/10 service 10/10.“

“A hidden jewel. This 50's themed diner is always immaculate. Staff is well trained and really friendly for this family owned business. We, until recently, worked our business from home so Chris's is our home from home. Always accommodating, food is excellent, prices fair. My happy place❤“

“So glad we stopped in! Woodys was exactly what we needed after a long day of driving. Walked in and felt like home. Our server Chelsea was such a puddin’ start to finish. The hot turkey sandwich and waffle sundae put me into a perfect food coma. Best stop on our trip. Much luck to you!“

“Food and service were great, nice to have one here in Hamilton.“

“Haven't set foot inside Docks since 2004 for no other reason than it's a little out of the way from home and I'm not much of a drinker. I've been working in the area again for about a year and wanted to find a local spot to go with some coworkers and figured since it was close, why not try Docks. I happened across a picture of one of their burgers and had to try one since having my gallbladder removed and being able to once again enjoy the occasional bacon cheeseburger. Stopped there tonight with a coworker, got the Houston Burger and let me tell you... it was incredible. Burger was well seasoned and juicy (even though I always order well done) and the bacon was top quality. The prices were fantastic and my coworker said they had one of the best Guinness draughts he's had in a long time. Definitely see it turning into a to-do after work more often.“

“Had a great experience in 1st visit so went back with friends and family for more.

If you're looking to please both American and Korean pallets, this is it. The concept is a really interesting fusion of Korean and American cuisine—if anything, I’d describe it as American food with a Korean twist.

The menu is surprisingly diverse, which makes it easy for everyone in a group to find something they’ll enjoy. We tried a mix of dishes—from the beet and orange salad to Korean fried chicken, quinoa bowls, and even pastas with Korean-inspired flavors—and everything was solid.

What really stood out was the balance of flavors. Nothing was overly saucy or overpowering, yet each dish had a distinct and satisfying taste. You can clearly pick up the Korean seasoning, but it’s subtle and well integrated rather than overwhelming. Even the traditional Korean tofu soup had authentic flavor without being overly spicy or heavy.

The atmosphere adds to the experience as well. The two-floor setup—with the main dining upstairs and outdoor seating available—feels cozy but still spacious. Parking is also convenient with street options and a small lot in the back.

Overall, a fantastic spot for Korean-American fusion with a menu that truly offers something for everyone, including kids. The kids pasta in butter was really good, especially the pasta. Maybe homemade pasta...“

“Thank you Zinna ‘S stuff & owners. I had my daughter’s Bridal Shower on 8/17?/2025 . I received many wonderful compliments on your food & the beautiful environment. Also your staff were excellent. My daughter told me she had the perfect Bridal Shower that she will always remember ❤️ Thank you Maryanne Dunlap Spece ❤️“

“Was checking my out for a possible birthday party location and found the manager and staff to be very helpful and accommodating. The space is ample and the golf course looked great. I'd gone over earlier in the day and arrived as a post-golf tournament banquet was getting underway. If the smell of the food being served was a good indicator. It must be delicious. Will be returning this week to test/taste that theory out!“

“Just moved into the area and stopped in with my visiting daughter. Very friendly owner and staff, so clean and smelled great. Got an apple tuner as hot blueberry muffins came out. Such a nice guy gave me a hot blueberry muffin welcoming me into the area. I will definitely go back and try their Chicken parm with vodka sauce panini!“

“My husband and I went there for the first time this week for breakfast. The food was good, the service fast and friendly. On the small side but that just adds to the charm. Reminds me of an "old fashioned" diner. We will definitely be going back for breakfast or lunch. Oh and the prices weren't over the top either.“

“Visited for the first time on 7/2/26; I was intrigued by the rosemary, sea salt, sourdough bagel, so I ordered my pork roll, egg, & cheese on one. So glad I tried it, even with the upcharge for a specialty bagel. Really excellent flavor. I also noticed they offer a blueberry crunch bagel which is becoming popular in many bagel places around the area now; I'll try that one the next time I go back. #HoleyMoly“

“We’ve stayed here annually for 16 years. It’s a pass through for us. One night but friendly and helpful staff good food and we seen the same FD staff for the past 12 years. Even during Covid we stayed, they cared even though the kitchen was closed they advised us where to get take out. It is a comfortable, friendly place to stay.“

“The BEST Greek food I’ve had in NJ. Highly recommend. Their lemon potatoes, lemon chicken soup and Greek fries are so fresh.“

“food is always so good and fresh. i think the price is great especially considering what you get! their shrimp tacos are a 10/10!“

“Really great facility lots of turf fields a good snack stand just excellent all around.“

“It's a great place! If you are not white,please don't go। Tbh we were having a great time, till we were outed. And only reason being is we were brown skinned. A party of 7 with 5 towers with everyone ubering . In my 11 years being in US,first time I felt racially profiled, that too in my community where I have my own home. Disappointed ofcourse, I am compelled to think about legal recourse because of the insult we felt. If you ARE NOT WHITE, DONT GO THERE. This is an absolute disgrace. And unfortunately, you might face racism from immigrants there. Unfortunately such is the state of this country, being racist will bring more customers. I feel sorry for the regulars. May be they are not racists, but they are patronizing the establishment. Please don't blame the waiting staff though, it's the management who is the problem.“

“Amazing experience at the Witherspoon Grill tonight! Our waiter was awesome and their patio is dog friendly! Food was soooo good! We will return!!“
