“I met up with a couple of my friends that I haven't seen for a while here last night. We ordered from the prix fixe menu and the food was good. The place was quaint, ambiance was great and the staff were attentive. Great place to meet up and chat with friends and not feel rushed.“
“The food is really good they have a standard gastropub type menu and then a seasonal menu on rotation the chef mixes up. Very large bar area that can get quite busy. Many craft beers on tap and they offer flights. There are tvs in the bar area for sports and a space for live music. Parking is adjacent to the restaurant never had an issue finding a spot. In the summer there is a larger outdoor seating area“
“It's me again, Brendan from the review that if sorted chronological, should be right below this one. Also my wife wanted to review too so counts as another review. Incredible wings and service. People writing about "small wings" are simply non wing knowers around the proper taste for a buffalo wing. Anthony's accomplishes this and if you want big wings get the jumbo ones, you clearly are more about quenching hunger than finding the perfect wing, which is fine. I know there are a lot of people out there wondering where they can get a REAL buffalo wings in a world where the art of the wing simply seems lost. Well, I'm happy to tell you that not all hope is lost, not all wings clipped, Anthony's is the place. I thank them for persevering through the critics, and I encourage the community to push back on these non wing knowers with both support in the comments and at the cashiers. We will be back REAL soon.“
“Went Easter Sunday. Table was ready when we got there. Our server 'Alex' - she was the best. Kept an eye on us to see if we needed anything. Food absolutely out of this world Nicely spaced between appetizers and main meal. Gave us time to digest. Absolutely must come here.“
“This joint was jumping on a Friday at 6:30. We would have been turned away without a reservation. The pork chop scarpariello, short ribs and filet were excellent entrees. This was a birthday celebration, which is why we went a bit high-end. This venue at this time of night might be a bit noisy for some , but no complaints here - just an excellent meal!“
“Was looking for a good burger and I found it. Best burger around hands down. I had the bleu's brutha burger and fell in love. The French fries and onion rings were crispy and delicious also. The general manager, Kyle couldn't have been sweeter or more attentive. He definitely has found his niche with his open and warm personality. I highly recommend this burger bar. Ps. If you like peanut butter, do yourself a favor and try the nutter udder shake made with peanut butter whiskey. AMAZING!“
“Very good breakfast and deserts, especially for people with a sweet-tooth like myself. The waitresses were friendly, even though it was a holiday. As for atmosphere, I always enjoy diners with that classic 50s/60s feeling, even if I was not alive during those times lmao. Altogether, this is a lovely eatery that I will definitely come back to in the near future.“
“Had a wonderful birthday dinner with the family downstairs in the wine room! Waiter's recs were spot on - everything was delicious. Especially the mussels, Brussels, flounder, and coconut dessert. Cocktails were okay. Looking forward to next time!“
“Not sure why I waited so long to try this place but glad I finally got around to it. Warning: make reservations or be prepared to wait on the weekends. We arrived an hour before our reservation and enjoyed some drinks at the bar. Speaking of, be prepared to stand in a rather small, crowded space. But drinks help you forget about that. I tried the grapefruit cocktail and they certainly didn't water that drink down. Next up, the main event! We started with the pork belly fries which were tasty and perfect for sharing. I got the burger with short rib which was delicious. The service was fairly quick and friendly; honestly I was shocked they didn't rush us out considering it was nearing closing time. I'd return to try more burgers but I'd prefer lunch or a weekday since parking here is very limited with barely any street parking in sight.“
“Great small down cafe. All of the options (although limited) are great and definitely worth coming back for. Waitresses are relatively attentive, but there is often quite a lot of traffic in and out. There may be a short wait for seating depending on when you arrive.“
“Just recently we celebrated our daughter’s bridal shower at the Americana Kitchen and Bar. I can’t express how impressed I was with everything. From the staff being so kind, friendly and attentive. The food, the artisanal bread basket the delicious elegantly plated entrées, the dessert was so beautiful and delicious. The cake was made exactly as my inspiration photos. The ambience of the live jazz band playing in the background was superb! If you looking to book your next event and impress your guests don’t look no further. Call Americana Kitchen and Bar and speak to Athena.“
“First I would like to acknowledge our waiter, Joshua B. He was such a pleasure and so attentive and personable. The recommendations were great and his personality was an experience in itself. The manager was also amazing and my only regret was not getting his name. Now let’s get into the food…EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING prepared was delicious. The tuna tartare and lobster bites were my absolute favorite apps. The entrees were phenomenal. I have the surf and turf and my wife had the cowboy with the lobster and cherry pepper topping and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere was lovely and the drinks ESPECIALLY THE POMEGRANATE SPRITZ and Pomegranate Sangria …AMAZING !“
“Zinna's Bistro is well-nigh perfect: the setting on a waterfront; indoor and outdoor seating equally charming; food that is always prepared carefully and to order; service staff that is amazing in friendliness without ever being intrusive. There are few restaurants around so enjoyable.“
“Excellent experience. My wife and I went there as a belated Valentine's day treat for ourselves and did the 17 course tasting menu. We also sprung for the wine pairing. I think 16/17 dishes were excellent and there was only one that was "just ok". Wine pairing was excellent and pours were generous. My only advice would be to pace yourself, don't need to eat and drink everything! A little expensive but worth it for what you get.“
“In Princeton for a weekend visit with friends who moved here recently and they took us to their favorite spot! It did NOT disappoint! We ate so much food!! We had lychee martinis which were ok (too limey and not enough lychee) but the food was amazing so it made up for it! They had a little bit of everything! So whatever you feel like eating, they probably have it! Or if your in a group and you all can't agree on what type of food to get, this is a good compromise: pizza, nachos, wings, sushi, burgers, salads, they literally had everything!!“
“First good points. Chicken is wonderful. Juicy and tasty. The ribs are excellent. Smokey and tender.The less than stellar is their potato salad. Tastes and look like it's from US Foods. Tasteless and overall not good. Lastly just check your bag. Last time I asked for macaroni salad and got coleslaw.Overall very good ?“
“I ordered lunch from Dootsie's today (via UberEats) and I'm STILL FULL! The food was amazing, full of flavor and tasted like it was made with care. The baked chicken was SOOO GOOD, collards & cabbage well cooked! And I don't know what is in the Mac and cheese but I could probably eat a whole tray of it in one sitting. ?“
“First time visitors, happen to drive by and decided to try. Pretty good service. We don't eat meat so we ordered Mediterranean Panini with vegetables. It was made quite well. And the service was pretty good.. I would ask for couple more options for Vegetarians :)Vegetarian options: There were a few choices, for sure.Parking: Small parking in the side but we didn't have any issues“
“Witherspoon Grill was amazing. We were greeted by our server within seconds of sitting down. He took excellent care of us, from talking about the daily specials to ensuring our drinks were topped off. The food was simply amazing. I had the fresh caught cod with a lemon beurre blanc sauce and the house salad. 10/10 will hopefully be back soon!“
“Nice bar, their vodka martini was perfect. They have a decent selection of specialty cocktails, and everyone enjoyed the drinks. The bar area is comfortable, the patio looks like a perfect place to hang when the weather turns nice. I heard the food was good, looking forward to going back. Service is good, easy parking in the back.“
“We both very much enjoyed our meal at the Roadhouse. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and our sides were delicious as well. The only issue was the Caesar salad because it was under dressed. It was practically dry. Other than that, we enjoyed our dinner.“
“This is my second visit to The Dinky Bar and Grill in Princeton which offers great views of the campus. We were going to see a play at McCarter and it is so convenient being across the street. The Dinky has an intimate vibe. Being the original Train Depot the feel of the place is still a train depot which I love. The menu is limited but certainly enough to choose from. There are shareable plates as well full entrees. Very good food and drinks. Our server Kayla was amazing. She needs to be recognized because she was extraordinary. A very busy place pre theater but Kayla never stopped smiling Great experience all around. Will definitely be going again.“
“I went in today for lunch with a good friend who is fighting cancer and haven't seen in a long time. Her stomache is very fickle and she did amazingly well with the food. It's definitely leaning towards fine dining. Linen table cloths, linen knapkins, polished silverware, white glove service without the gloves. Our sever observed us without being intrusive. He only served the next dished when we stopped eating the first one. If you're accustomed to being entertained by your server, this is not for you. If you value uninterrupted time spent with your guest while still not being neglected, this is for you. I actually like it when the server is vigilant but not overbearing. I want to enjoy the food, take in the atmosphere and speak with my friend, and our server allowed us to just be present. We never had to ask for anything. It was brought out at the right time, our needs were anticipated and we were greeted by Chef Jason, who greeted every table. I recommend the truffle oil fries, beet salad and hand held chicken pesto. The presentation of all three dishes was beautiful. Thank you so much. It was a really good experience.“
“Never ever disappointed the food is delicious service is top tier. If you have time someday since COVID is over come visit ask about the specials and they will always cater to your appetite you'll be satisfied and thank me for the recommendation best restaurant overall in the area!!!“
“Went last night and everything we order was amazing. I got a sandwich and the chicken was freshly fried. Also got what looked like a fried calzone filled with chicken and mozzarella then topped with vodka sauce, it was on another level. We also shared the special which was chicken leg that fell off the bone and was season perfectly. Everyone there was super nice, great atmosphere and people! Definitely will be going back.“
“One of our “go to” restaurants/bars. Mistral offers a unique blend of American cuisine infused with a touch of ethnic flavors. I also appreciate the changes in their menus based on seasonal abundance. My favorites are the chicken wings, salmon bites and grilled kale salad.The bar area is one of my favorite local hangouts.“
“Good food here, most diners have good food and reasonable prices . Breakfast is really good here and burgers i love getting them from here cause they're fat and tasty.Parking: Plenty of parking across the street, it's a small street.“
Pizza • $
“The very best in pizza, subs, the only place i trust to make me a good meatball without that nasty under taste you get from most restaurant meatballs.Family owned and operated, been coming here since I was a kid. I moved away some 10 years ago and somehow the brothers remember me when I stop by which is whenever i'm in town. I love th“
“This place is amazing! It used to be on the main drag many years ago, but somehow it lasted over the years. It has great food and super friendly staff. We went in there and I told them that we have never been here before. The server walked us through all the items on the menu and was very friendly.On the menu they have interesting items that you would not expect at a diner. I had a cajon dish that had crab and eggs. It was great. There are a lot more options too.Inside the restaurant it is still decorated in the old 1950s style. It has cast aluminum fixtures including doors and trim along the bar. It has classic styling that has years of use, but the restaurant is still clean and in good condition. In one of my photos notice the old table top and the old plastic leather chairs from the 1950s. It is really neat to see this all still in use today.Parking: The parking lot is large and has room to turn around.“
“Had brunch here with friends. Very cute place, and the food and drinks were tasty. The server was nice as well. Main reason for not 5 stars is that the tables are small (so takes some shuffling of plates if in a group) and are so close you overhear the conversations of every table around you, and they hear yours. Not ideal for a gossipy girl brunch or flirty dates, but otherwise we really enjoyed the experience. Would eat here again for sure - I had the scallops and they were perfectly seasoned and cooked just right.“
“What a gem of a place in the Plainsboro area (which doesn’t have many bars to begin with). Good food, great prices, amazing service, clean. No super loud music means you can actually talk with the people at your table. Great place to chill out after a long day or work.“
“Took my elderly mother to Perkins on a Sunday morning. Her favorite place to go. Breakfast was good you can never really beat Perkins pancakes. The waitress was very nice, the service was fast, and the food. Pricing was also with an average range. My mother goes to this Perkins I believe on Wednesday nights because they have two entrees for $30, you can't beat that.“
“From soup to dessert there’s no place better than Teddy’s! Everyone that works there makes it feel like home! Absolutely nothing I wouldn’t recommend. From breakfast to dinner, it’s all delicious! Teddy’s is our go to place to eat ?“
“5 star tacos, but it seems they gave up on the inside 20 years ago so -1 star.Accompanying Pepper: small roasted pepper (serrano maybe?), damn that little thing is hot, very hot. One small bite was a painfully wonderful way to start the meal.Tacos: 3 corn tortilla pork tacos with with diced onions and an obscene amount of cilantro and they were legit great. Also accompanied were salsa and lime wedge. Another bite of that pepper to keep you honest. Delicious!More research required“
“We always enjoy dinner here. I had a piece of salmon with brown rice which was delicious but I thought didn't LOOK amazing. My dining companions all enjoyed their meals too.The atmosphere is rustic elegance with exposed rock and earthy tones. When it's crowded it can be very difficult to hear the conversation at the dinner table.Vegetarian options: Veg is not the reason to go, but if you're going there is at least a pasta dish.“
“No-frills pub with a menu of classic American food & drinks + both bar and table sections I had a great experience when I came here with my GF and my friend. All of our food was delicious and the service was great. The portions were very large as well.“
“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…“
“I was driving by and stopped to have dinner at this place. Not a fancy place but my meal was excellent.. I had stuffed eggplant and was totally satisfied. Service was fine, young lady didn't speak much English but that made the place so much more authentic. All the people eating here was Middle East and that how you now the food will be good“
“This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. A short walk away from Princeton University and all of the shopping of downtown. The heated floors in the bathroom were a huge plus for this southerner. The beds were extremely comfortable, as well as the pillows. The continental breakfast was delicious, especially the blueberry muffins. While this is a boutique hotel, the prices are fairly reasonable. I would recommend staying here if you're in the area.Walkability: Located half a mile from Princeton University and downtown Princeton.Noteworthy details: Heated floors in the bathroom were a wonderful touch.“
“I’ve been coming here for over 3 years now and the quality has been the same since day one. There’s a verity of delicious options on the menu and the gyro sandwiches are our favorite! The food is ready very quickly, perfect for takeout and never had my order messed up. Sam is a great guy and runs a great business.Dietary restrictions: If you ask them not to add something, they take it seriously and never messed up once in the 3 years I’ve been coming here“
“Very pleasant experience. High quality food and good service. The atmosphere was very elegant for a diner. We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table since it was a busy weekend time, but they took my number and called me when the table was ready, which was very much appreciated. Would gladly go back.“
“We enjoyed our Valentine's Day lunch at Tommy's. Inn.recently opened at his new location. I had a chicken quesadilla and a side salad of mixed greens and my sweetie had a bacon burger a fries. Very good and reasonably priced. Thanks Tommy!! We'll be back.“
“I love New Jersey diners. Soooo much quality food for a decent price. This building is a little bit outdated but the service was immaculate. The waitress was friendly and the food was delivered quickly. I would absolutely recommend this place.“
“Genuinely my favorite breakfast sandwich ever! Get a bacon egg and cheese w/ salsa verde & avocado... it's a game changer. Also, the Santa Fe chicken sandwich w/ chipotle mayo is incredible. Their souvlaki-style chicken is to die for. Great service every time! One of the highlights of visiting my boyfriend in Princeton.“
“Always reliably good and reasonably priced. I've always enjoyed anything I've ordered here, steaks are flavorful without being overbearing, portions are a good size, prices are reasonable, and the service is good. I know it's a chain, but you couldn't really ask for more!“
“Tried their garlic bagels for the first time recently...They were excellent!Crispy, chewy, and covered on top AND bottom with garlic. Tasty! And there was some Kosher salt mixed in with the garlic; gave it something extra.Truly a delicious Bagel.“
“A great place to have fun with friends and family. We always have a great time when we come to Vitu Streets .Kid-friendliness: It's a dining room where you can sit as a family with kids ,but it is a bar Separate from the family dining.“
“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 lodge has a friendly atmosphere and a very helpful staff. I rented the room for my sister's bridal shower and it was perfect. I used a local caterer Nicolo's for the food and Mendokers for the cake and cookies. Would definitely recommend all of them!“
“Amazing food, everything we ordered was truly delicious. One of the best meals I’ve had in a very very long time. Honestly was shocked to find such a high caliber of food in a small town like Hightstown. better than any restaurant we’ve been to in Princeton and new hope for sure, and rivals many in Philly NYC Boston and beyond. Can’t wait to return. Love that it’s a totally unassuming spir while still very charming inside plus lots of options for all sorts of diets, very inventive menu and farm to table as well!“
