“Daisy's Deli in NJ is a must-try spot for its delicious food, especially the comforting, homemade soups, and the friendly, great personable family owned establishment. It's a hidden gem that offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with high-quality dishes that are both satisfying and flavorful!“

“Sometimes a single item on the menu is so good you feel obligated to give a place the highest rating. That’s how I feel about my visit to Salad House. While there is room for improvement (small beverage options; no soda fountain; no cups with ice) the food was fresh and delicious. I did a “make your own” salad and was pleased to see they offer an all-iceberg lettuce for the base. And the outstanding item? Their Thai-style cauliflower bites. Yum! I understand this is a franchise and the franchisees might have their hands tied as to making improvements like soda fountains, and maybe a station to get packets of mayonnaise and barbecue sauce, extra napkins and utensils, etc., so I hope if corporate is reading this they might consider some of these ideas to make a great place even better.“

“Popped in on a whim and met staff for the first time. Welcoming, friendly, and immaculate store. The assortment of sandwiches on the menu will please all. Ordered Sloppy Russian, Antico, & Italian… delicious. Big City Sandwiches for sure. Fresh breads. So happy to have such a great deli in town. Will certainly be back soon to try another.“

“This place is a breath of fresh air. From the service to the food to the sides to the milkshakes and even the salads. Everything tops the charts. A definite recommendation. Don’t take my word for it. There isn’t a better chicken spot around.“

“Absolutely amazing and delicious better than any Jersey mikes or subway“

“I recently ate at Cumin N Eat, and honestly, the food completely lived up to the hype.

From the moment the dishes came out, you could tell everything was made fresh and with real attention to flavor. The spices were perfectly balanced—not too overpowering, but still packed with that rich, authentic taste that makes you want to keep eating even when you’re full. Every bite had depth, and you can tell they don’t cut corners when it comes to ingredients.

But the highlight for me had to be the wings. They were absolutely amazing—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in a sauce that had the perfect mix of flavor and heat. Not too spicy, not too mild—just right. They were easily some of the best wings I’ve had, and I’d go back just for those alone.

Overall, Cumin N Eat is definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re in New Jersey. Great flavor, great quality, and food that actually leaves an impression.“

“Honestly great place. Really good pricing and food. I had the salmon teriyaki bento box and it was delicious. It is one of the greatest family run restaurants I ever went to. And on top of that the people are very welcoming. I 100 percent would come back here.“

“The food is outstanding! The owners are the warmest and kindest people! The restaurant is professional, serving high quality food and reasonably priced! Love me some Pat d’s! Shout out to the exceptional counter help!“

“We had a catered affair from Prima Pizza at our VFW Post. Food was delicious. The fettuccine carbonara was so tasty. Eggplant rollatini was cooked to perfection. Definitely 5 Stars.“

“This is my favorite sushi place. Top quality sushi, top notch chefs, family run business !!! Awesome My favorite is their brown rice tea, eel special and smoke salmon sashimi“

“place is souper solid, real food now.“

“I had never heard of Broadway Chicken, and then a few weeks ago when I needed to do grocery shopping at the ShopRite in the same shopping center in Middletown, I had some extra time and was feeling hungry, so I thought I would give the Broadway Chicken a try. Since I had never been there before, I decided to get a 10-piece chicken nuggets, figuring that's probably the easiest thing to do well. They were SO GOOD, as was the honey mustard dipping sauce I got with them (the ranch sauce was good too, but the honey mustard was amazing). I hate any fat or gristle on meat, and the nuggets had none of either -- just good white meat real chicken, with crisp and very tasty breading. I sat outside at one of the picnic tables and ate my nuggets while reading a book.

The following week I went back and did basically the same thing -- ordered nuggets, and ate them while reading my book. The music, which comes through speakers outside as well as inside, while not bad (basically a mix of blues/folk/country), was too loud, at least for me. When the server brought my food, I asked him if it would be possible to turn it down a bit, and said that if that wasn't possible I understood. He said it should be fine, and went back inside -- and within just a minute or two the music was turned down to a more reasonable level. I really appreciate that extra level of customer service.

I went back again today, prior to doing my grocery shopping -- I think I'm addicted, lol. This time I got the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap, which has good reviews on their website. First of all, it was massive! I could literally only eat half of it, and had to take the other half home for tomorrow. Secondly, it was very tasty -- you can get the chicken fried or grilled, and I chose fried, and it was done perfectly. The bacon was also good, and the romaine lettuce was fresh and crisp. The cheese and ranch sauce were also good. I think I still prefer the nuggets, but the wrap is a very close second. Also, when the server brought my wrap out to me, he asked if he could bring me anything else, like napkins. I already had napkins, but I let him know that I had only recently discovered Broadway Chicken, and that so far I really liked everything I had gotten there. He thanked me, and told me that his name is Mike and he is one of the owners. He also told me that the chicken is antibiotic free, and that they make their sauces in-house -- both good to know, and good selling points! Mike, and every other staff member I've dealt with there, have demonstrated excellent customer service (and by the way, the music was still at a reasonable level on this trip). Between that and the tasty food, I am sure I will keep coming back. :-D“

“Very happy with the lunch we had there today. ceviche was great! Chicharron sandwich wss great. Piccarones for dessert. We will definitely be going back!!!“

“I just went in there for the first time for lunch, I work nearby. The prices are steep, but I just had the Asian chicken salad and a chocolate chip cookie, everything was delicious. The salad tasted very fresh, and all the items they had looked really delicious and fresh, it was hard to choose. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I have been going to Bacos since the beginning of it all. When two gentlemen decided to go into the food business. The doors weren't open yet and I met Guisep who not only is a gentleman and all around generous and talented maestro of food.Guiseppe and his staff are conductors of a Philharmonic of food. Quality and always fresh and delicious. If you. Have not experienced Bacos or are completely blown away like I am Everytime I eat whatever Guisepoe and his orchestra create. Just tell him and his staff that Bruce,his first original customer sent you and he ( like any great chef or conductor) will take care of you like one of the family back in Italy! Guaranteed to more than enjoy whatever you order. An experience you all must try!“

“Terrific experience! Authentic Thai, family run restaurant. Everything was served with such hospitality, flavor, and generosity— true Thai style. I live in NYC where there is an over abundance of Thai places which can be hit or miss and I’ve always been so disappointed with the few Thai places I’ve tried in Jersey— typically they miss the mark with too much sugar or watery curries and are overpriced because of the scarcity of Thai options here. Spring rolls were so crispy and felt fresh made vs frozen. I opted simple for my kids and ordered grilled salmon— it was savory and flavorful on a bed of deliciously assorted tender vegetables. The salmon was served with a side of peanut sauce which I often find quite standard (aka bottled) HOWEVER this peanut sauce was chunky and not overly sweet, a tad of tang— definitely house made. Next up, I looove a good red curry and I WAS NOT disappointed , so creamy and flavorful with a perfect amount of spice that left a tingle but wasn’t too much to handle. Yummy crisp bamboo shoots, string beans, and peppers. I ordered with the snapper which I don’t see offered in many Thai places, so what a treat. It was served so crispy and hot before it soaked into the curry.
To note, they were closing for the night and truly were so kind to seat us… with that being the case, brown rice was the only option, I thought it would taste like cardboard. I was totally wrong— it was fluffy and grainy and flavorful, my kids asked for more! My husband had the Pad Se Eww and said it was on point— my little son a picky eater shared with him (sans veggies) and cleared his plate which said a lot! Terrific place, great for kids, low key, cozy and warm. Perfect for when you’re looking for a comfortable spot that’s not too upscale or overly pricey. Extra note, we did not order from the kids menu, but such wonderful kid options for those children that might not have the palate for Thai food. Extra bonus for the vegetarians or non meat eaters like me; they have mock duck on the menu which is always such wonderful option for those who know. What really made our experience special was learning that the family matriarch cooks everything herself with love— you can truly taste it. Such kind people— their touch permeated the flavors. Can’t wait to return! Thank you for a fabulous family Thai dinner!“

“Awesome breakfast n lunch sandwiches along with great coffee 👍😎“

“Yesterday was the first time my fiance and me went to the salad house! The grilled chicken with buffalo sauce was fire we loved the Buffalo poppers the salad was so delish! We can’t wait to come back! They have food for the kiddies to next time we will bring the kiddies!“

“The food is excellent, fresh made omelettes has been my go to breakfast! Now if I can’tMake it there to lunch I love the new make your own burrito bowl. Everything is always so fresh and delicious“

“I am hoping it was just a fluke but got a pizza from here this past weekend and it just doesn't taste the same. I think the cheese mixture has changed or someone forgot some spice or something. I will try again since they have had the best pizza since Seaview mall.“

“Always excellent food and great service 👌🏿“

“Visited Cluck U for the first time today- and they have a life long customer! Andrew had piping hot FRESH food to us in 5 minutes. While my husband and I were eating Andrew sat down and chatted with us about the history of the city, restaurant recommendations and even spoke to us about new facilities they’re building in the area. This morning was rough as we had issues checking into our hotel, but we are so glad that the first place we went to (suitcases in hand) was Cluck U. It easily turned our morning around. Thank you Andrew for the great food and pleasant conversation!“

“I absolutely love coming to this Just Salad location! The food is always incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they take pride in the quality of what they serve. The staff are consistently friendly, welcoming, and attentive.

A special shoutout to Maria, she always goes above and beyond to make customers feel valued. Her warm personality and exceptional customer service make every visit a great experience. Customer service like hers is truly rare to find these days. Thank you to Maria and the entire team for always making me feel welcome!“
