“This was my first time eating from here and the food was fantastic. I would have given this place 5 stars, however they really need to update their menu online. In the picture below I ordered the teriyaki, chicken, and shrimp with rice. They gave me some vegetables on the side which was sautéed very well.“

“We tried Hook & Reel for the first time and enjoyed it so much, we went back 2 days later. The food was well prepared, delicious, and served hot. Yummy lobster bisque, I ordered a 2nd bowl after finishing the first! Fried calamari was yummy as well. The raw oysters were perfect and the boil with Hook & Reel's own Cajun sauce was outstanding. Our server, Moe, was friendly and very efficient; he makes your dining experience error-free so you can relax and enjoy the meal. The Manager here gets credit for a well-run ship! He really appreciates the customers and it shows. You will definitely want to eat here frequently. Great service, tasty food, relaxed atmosphere - you won't be disappointed.“

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

“Excellent service. What’s the owner name“

“Went for dinner on Friday with my boys. Stephanie was amazing. her recommendations for entrees was perfect. The timing and meals were great. Was a nice evening.“

“Seafood pimps was the best decision I could had made to celebrate my 56th birthday. I decided to purchase the Nexf ix & Chill. First the presentation was SUPERB. The crabs, mussels and shrimp were FRESH and DELECTABLE. The vegetables were seasoned to perfection. least of them all the amount that you receive is enough to feed a full size family, and we only ordered for two. I will definitely be back. I recommend Seafood Pimps to anyone that enjoy fresh mouth watering seafood.“

“disfrutamos de un excelente servicio y Daniel el camareronos brindo atencion“

“We ordered delivery to Union. Our order arrived about 30 min early and was fresh, hot and delicious!! I highly recommend this location and will become a regular customer.“

“Creative food, friendly staff, always delicious.“

“Lunch service was nice. However my brother ordered a Paella and there was hardly any rice in it. Given the fact the waiter insisted it would feed 3 I'm glad he ordered his solo cause it was barely enough for him. I ordered a chicken breast and chorizo lunch special. It was good. Aside from the spicy flavors it was great. The service was fantastic. It's no wonder they've been around for a long time. My brother recommended this place since he's been coming here a long time. I'm definitely opened to give it another try.“

“Very delicious food .. seafood is on point“

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.“

“Musubi for days! So good So fresh! Ill be back“

“My wife and I drove an hour to check this place out. We definitely were not disappointed. I had the chicken parm with pasta and she had the Carbonara. The portions and the food were excellent. It was definitely worth the trip and we will be coming back!“

“Very nice - I’m coming back for sure“

“This place is right next to the Hamptonn Inn in Elizabeth which is pretty convenient. It wasn't super busy and they sit you down quickly with some good drinks. Our server seemed newer at her job, or perhaps not very good but the food was pretty tasty we had no complaints. \n\nIt's not fine dining but unless you want to eat at the food court at Jersey Mills or IHOP, this was the best option we found.“

“First time and they did not disappoint😊Food was fabulous!“

“I've been buying fresh fish, as well as cooked fish for some years now, & have been TOTALLY satisfied. Dan is ALWAYS beyond pleasant, & meets your special requests !! ❤“

“Lovely auntie makes the best samosa chaat I’ve ever had! Literally so mouthwatering“

“ALWAYS delicious - I try to stop here whenever I am in the Cranford area. I’ve been a fan of this Jersey Shore style seafood joint for a couple decades. Fresh, perfectly prepared dishes that always allow the seafood to shine. Fried or broiled flounder and any kind of shrimp are a personal favorite. I always judge a restaurant by it’s side salad and here it’s never an afterthought, fresh and so tasty - they should bottle their house dressing it’s off the chart.“

“On Saturday May 28th I had a reservation for 15 people because it was my daughter sweet sixteenth birthday dinner. The atmosphere was great, the music was a little too LOUD especially for some young children in my party and we the adults and young people we couldn’t hear each other speaking and my suggestion is to have the music at a moderate tone so we can hear each other at the table and also to make sure the waitress/waiter get the food order correct . The food was a little too salty but everything was ok“

“Great personality and a good sense of humor.“

“The host Ranjitha and team deccan spice were excellent. Would recommend to everybody😊“

“Went for a seafood boil and food was good the flavors were good. The only problem was the girl at the front. She's frumpy looking. Acted like I was bothering her when I wanted to pay. She's so relaxed and it's not a good look to paying customers. She never came back to check on us. She just had a whatever attitude.“

“Very good food,delicious!🍗“

“Halcyon,I'd gladly come back! I loved the ambiance.“

“Highly recommend supporting our local dinning. In fact, a party of seven was just booked after sharing a night of Fundraising at Giorgio's.“

“Always a delicious meal and great service at Matthew’s.“

“(Translated by Google) I loved it. I was able to feel in my country for a couple of hours. Exceptional service. The place is super elegant. God bless its owners.(Original)Me encantó pude sentirme en mi país por un par de horas servicio excepcional el lugar está súper elegante Dios bendiga a sus propietarios“

“I highly recommend this fish market. Owner is very nice and accommodating. My gma needed 150$ dollars worth of whiting but she wanted it for a different date. Anyway i returned to pick it up and the fish was ready. All cleaned and packaged nice. Highly recommend!“

“Tried it for the first time today. Hubby got the fried calamari and I got the fish sandwich. Both delicious and fresh.“

“The food was so flavorful yet not heavy at all. The curry shrimp was super fresh and delicious; it went so well with my sweet plantain and steamed cabbage. I'm extremely satisfied.

P.s. there were so many more shrimps underneath the cabbage just in case you thought the serving wasn't enough lol“

“First time, excellent food and service. Will be back👍“

“It was a wonderful experience trying Lebanese cuisine for the first time. I love everything my daughter-in-law ordered. My favorite was the Old City Platter. I got to try different things. The hummus plate was awesom❤️‍🩹“

“Very good fufu and great chicken egusi. Owner was very helpful and explained everything. Atmosphere was nice, she was kind and the service/wait time was great. Overall, it was great food and a great experience. I will definitely be coming again!“

“You won't be disappointed! Quick service and good food. I like the way the guy uses his memory taking orders, gets it right 99% of the time, even with 3 or more people ordering!“

“I had a great meal served to me in house. the choices were steamed or grilled for my sea bass. I sat by the window and enjoyed the "open house celebration. a side of vegtables were fresh with a butter garlic gravy. nextstore is a seafood market. How fresh is that! Good value.BYO "“

“I've been getting fresh fried fish here for years. The wide variety of combos is great. You can phone ahead and your food will be ready even when there's a crowd. Their price are unbeatable! The staff are always pleasant and welcoming.❤️??“

“great food. easy and delicious. I will come back again.“

“I've passed by this place on multiple occasions and finally decided to try it and it was great. I bought the hot buffalo and teriyaki flavored wings and they were great. The teriyaki was not salty but had that great flavor. The hot wings though could use more heat but have good flavor overall. I'm a heat seeker so I like big hits of spice so try at your own discretion. Overall great local wing spot, which Newark needed. If your too far from buffalo wild wings or wing stop, give panzz a try.“
