Richie and Jocelyn always brighten your day and make you feel like your at home.Vegetarian options: Delicious veggie wraps and burgers.Kid-friendliness: There is plenty of seating away from the bar that makes it a family friendly restaurant as well.“

“We loved our Team dinner! 6 team members attended...5 of the 6 had never eaten at S52 and everyone was impressed! The food, drinks and service were perfect! We enjoyed Salmon, Scallops and Lamb as entrees...delicious desserts, perfectly portioned, and sharable appetizers! Thank you for a great experience!“

“The first time we've been there for Sunday brunch. Very pleased with the service and the presentation of food was tremendous. We were given time in between the courses and not rushed and they were packed. Lots of choices on menu, which I was surprised at a brunch. I highly recommend!!!“

“Came here to meet up with my friend for lunch! Super cute vibes, amazing service. Me & my friend are so clumsy she spilled her entire drink all over, they were super quick with the pick up and even brought her back out the drink she ordered. Would definitely come back. Calamari was yum!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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…“

“You know the deal… Daddy David Portnoy told the public this place was AN 8.9. So you know me and Rj had to spin the block to Princeton. We got a large pie and devoured it like frickin animals. Unfortunately because of the crispness of the slice, Rj’s sperm count became a little too low and he died. Rip Rj. 5 Stars!“

“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.“

“Best-value and best tasting coffee offered around campus/town - an important accolade when even the campus-run outlets are draining bank accounts for very basic offerings. Important for new or unfamiliar campus staff to know that all are welcome, even though it is in the basement of the "Campus Club" building.“

“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!“
