“The drinks were perfect and the food was delicious! I love the special cocktail menus. They're always creative and delicious. Our table ordered nachos, grilled cheese, Gouda grilled cheese, tomato soup, and salad. The house dressing is SO good and all of the ingredients were fresh and delicious.

I have also had other dishes and drinks here, and I have never been disappointed!!“

“Ordered one their meals for take out. Great service, great price and great food! Will do again when they have something that looks good to us!“

“My first time here and the food was great! The atmosphere inside is really nice and they play good music. The mushroom ravioli, charcuterie and lamb lollipop were all fantastic! We went at night on a cold day; but, we plan to go back in the summer or maybe lunch to catch views of the lake. I would definitely recommend!“

“A popular seasonal place for locals to gather where everybody knows your name. Tiki bartenders & servers are amazing. Out of towners welcome. Best view to see a Summer sunset. Wonderful hard working owners who are very fair to their staff. Dog friendly. Patriotic ?? ?? ?? .“

“I have had two bridal showers at Portofino in Oak Ridge, and not only did everyone love the food, but Nancy and the entire staff is outstanding. They go above and beyond to help you in any capacity that they can. I highly recommend Portofino either for lunch, dinner or any kind of event you have whether it is big or small. You can't go wrong with Portofino, I can't say enough great things about the staff and restaurant!“

“First time here been to the liquor store .The food was amazing the service was great . The atmosphere was great real friendly vibe . We will definitely be back !“

“Came for dinner with another couple. The tapas eggplant was delicious, light and flavorful. Just lovely. We had two burgers and two steaks. All delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful, however, there is a huge bar in the middle of the restaurant. Which normally would not be an issue but this evening four young women were “working” the older men sitting at the bar. It became clear as the evening progressed that this was going on. None of us could believe what was happening right next to our table!! As the targeted men left the bar the young women quickly moved on to their next victims. It was all very obvious and pretty repulsive. Such a shame to have this type of thing happening in a lovely restaurant. I would hope management will be alerted by the bartenders that their establishment has become prey for this type of behavior. Quite unsettling.“

“Great experience, good music , good vibes ! Eddie the bartender was amazing. Can’t wait til it’s warmer to go back“

“We had our small wedding at Andre's this past weekend, and I am still in awe of how fantastic the event was. Tracey is an all-star. From coordinating calls, decorating our table, marrying us, to keeping us on schedule. Andre had our whole group raving about how great the food was. From the appetizers to the cake, we really couldn't have asked for better. On top of it all, the location is STUNNING! The staff helping to serve us were so friendly and pleasant and together they all helped make sure our wedding day was the best day of our life. I can't recommend Andre's enough, and we will certainly be returning for a meal!“

“The breakfast menu provided a wide variety of selections. Service was excellent. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend Hapgoods!“

“We had a wonderful event today at The Exchange"s banquet facilities. Food was fantastic!! Only thing better then the food was the hostesses. Very attentive, and very helpful. They made the function run tha much smoother amd made my day that much easier. But did I mention the food...my guests have not stopped reaching out to me saying how muched they loved the food. If your looking for a place to have a function 100% would recommend The Exchange in Rockaway.“

“We took our 3yo and 7yo boys here for lunch today and everything was fab - super cute decor, oldies playing, a couple of the games for the kids to play while we waited for our food. The guys working (I think maybe the owners?) had such nice energy and could not have been warmer or more welcoming. The boys were excited to play an old-fashioned roulette style game with the owner, and they each got to pick a little prize. I love details like that - when kids feel like they belong somewhere, it’s just a better experience for everyone! And the food! My husband ordered the double Doo Wop burger and I ordered a single Greek burger and both were delicious! We also split disco fries - I thought they were great and better than diner disco fries because they weren’t as salty. Our sons both got a kids grilled cheese which they devoured - our 7yo said the whole experience was “10/10” and that it was the “awesomest place ever!” They are already asking when we can go back with their older sister - and we WILL be back to try the ice cream!“

“Best place great food great people well cleaned“

“I always have a great experience at Mohawk Restaurant. Every time I visit, I’m never disappointed. The menu isn’t huge, but everything is fresh, delicious, and made perfectly. The service is always friendly and attentive without being too much, and I love the classy vibe — soft music and a cozy atmosphere.

Thanks for keeping the quality so high — keep it up!“

“Great place! Fantastic staff, always; great food, specials; very reasonably priced.“

“Burger's & Texas Weiner's are good!!“

“Definitely Lakeside dining at its finest! 🌊✨ From crispy, made-in-house buffalo wings to savory empanadas, the diverse menu is packed with fresh flavors you’ll love. I chose to indulge in the surf & turf skirt steak with garlic butter shrimp, and I ordered a light refreshing salmon, berry, and goat cheese salad. Paired my meal with a fresh OJ, creamy matcha latte with oat milk, vibrant hibiscus Paloma with a Tajín rim. Savor the lakeside vibes at Indian Lake Bistro—where nothing’s frozen, and everything’s delicious!“

“Lovely atmosphere. Very good food and great staff.“

“My husband and I stumbled upon this place while looking for a place to eat that had an outdoor area( so glad we did) Once there ,we reviewed the menu , I explained to our waiter Cody that I am a pescatarian. He immediately recommended a few dishes that were not on the menu. I decided to go with one of his recommendation, the blackened shrimp tacos. They were delicious!! My husband had the blackened California wrap, which he raved about. Our waiter Cody even took the time to give us a bit of
history of the restaurant. If you are ever in the Denville area looking for a place to eat, do yourself a favor and check this place out! Make sure you ask for Cody to be your waiter!“

“The Jefferson Diner is fantastic! The ambiance is cozy, the menu has a great variety, and the food is delicious. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even better. Highly recommend the burgers and milkshakes. A must-visit for anyone in the area!"“

“Wonderful meal and service ! Highly recommend!!“

“Everything about Polo’s is amazing. The food is amazing the atmosphere is perfect. I know they are only in November but the Thanksgiving Egg Rolls are mouth watering perfection. Staff is friendly and attentive. Thank you for all your hard work.“

“Nice bar restaurant at the end of a round. We were there on a Wednesday and it was empty. We order BBQ knowing that it was not going to be fresh as the grills were not going. That said the brisket and pulled port were still good. The sweet potato fries were good as well. Little crispy. We both should have order the bbq souce on the side. Too much on for our taste but we should have asked. Great bar with a large selection of whiskey and bourbon. Service was great too. I would go back. Like to see how it is when it’s fresh.“

“We enjoyed The Bistro and walk on the grounds“

“I love my job!! Our food is fresh, healthy, and AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS 😋 stop by for a wrap, salad, baja and or greek bowl, or create your own entree!!“

“😀 Great food and outstanding service, any time of day! I have been eating there regularly for years and it never gets old! Like eating at granma's house.“

“Spurs are THE best chicken tenders…..my go too every time…..one of our favorite spots for good food, friendly staff…..did I mention the spurs?? And the burgers are great too!“

“A friend recommended The Miner’s Apron. We were pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, nicely done cocktails, and very good food. Everything was spot on. We plan to return.“

“If you have an expense account, enjoy. Well prepared, and way above average quality and taste. But price is even higher than what you would expect at an airport. Highly recommend the turkey sandwich, but all our entrees were really good.“

“simply the best dogs around!“

“Always good service and great food.“

“Haven’t been to any Fuddruckers in years since they closed in Wayne,NJ. Was amazed to see a location still open. They have a large game room for the kids. One upsetting thing they didn’t have fresh bakery like other locations. Food was hot and fresh. Plus unlimited fries . Was well worth it.“

“Food as always amazing twice in 1 week I am a fan“

“small spot but amazing food and vb great staff.“

“Let me tell you about this place!

I ate here about 3 years ago because I was doing deliveries & wanted to get food nearby & it was solid & fairly priced.

Fast forward 3 years later & I started working at St Clares in Dover & the cafeteria closes on weekends. I remember this place from 3 years ago & wanted a pick up order. I called ahead during my break & at first was told would take 20-30 mins as the lady was working on a big order.

I wanted to cancel since my break is 30 minutes long anyway & the drive to pick up & wait wasn’t worth it. However, the lady insisted to continue ordering & brought the time window down from 30 to 10 minutes so I was like sure.

Lo & behold I came in 10 minutes & not only was my food ready but the big catering order too as well!!

Even though I rushed back eating in the car (to the fault of my own lol) I was so immensely impressed the woman behind the counter put so much effort to making sure I got my food. This is a business that cares about its customers & an incredible story about customer service I will share till the day I die. Kudos from the St Clares hospital team :) !!!“

“Delighted.... excellent service. I always go with my husband and we have a great time.
From the entrance with Talita, a very kind and gentle girl.
And in general the people who serve us make us feel very very comfortable.
The food is always delicious...
And the cocktails are the best.
I congratulate you, Apple Bee, you have an excellent team.“

“I used The American BBQ Company this past weekend for an event I hosted at my home. I chose the American BBQ Package, and it was the perfect choice. Arrival was appx 90 minutes before the event started, which was great. By the time my guests arrived, everything was set up, and ready to go. The food was delicious, the set up of the serving area was easy for guests to access, and everything was kept neat and clean the entire time. The two employees who were there for the event were professional, friendly, and helpful. It was so nice for me to be able to spend time with my guests and not have to worry about cooking and serving. The event coordinator, Steve Felber, was easy to communicate with and was very helpful in making sure any and all questions were answered ahead of time. I would absolutely use The American BBQ Company again in the future!“

“My family and I had a wonderful dinner at IHOP. The food was delicious. I had a burger, my wife enjoyed her pancakes, and my daughter polished off her entire burger—which says a lot! The service was excellent; the staff were attentive, friendly, and always had smiles on their faces. We love coming to this IHOP, whether it’s for breakfast-for-dinner nights or after Saturday morning soccer games. It’s always a great experience!“

“Awesome place. Great staff great food.“

“Breakfast was so so delicious! Staff were all amazing, super kind and attentive. I will definitely be back!“

“They catered our party this weekend and did a fantastic job! Lou is great to work with, the food was delicious and the server was on point! Definitely recommend!“

“Stopped in for lunch. Atmosphere was comfortable. My server Jutay was amazing, very positive attitude. Had the soup of the day with fresh squeezed lemon, which elevated the taste even more. My burger was juicy and flavorful. My only suggestion would be to have those in the dining room, not be listening to their phone on speaker. I plan on visiting again!!“

“I would like to personally thank the Randolph Diner for an amazing banquet for our mothers repast. Their attention to detail and the needs of our family were beautifully met. The food, staff, and location with an elevator were perfect. We can’t thank you enough for all your hospitality. Many thanks, The Betz Family 🌼“

“This place is so charming and the food is incredible!!! We sat outside and enjoyed pancakes with berries and the special sweet potato bowl with spinach, mushrooms and pulled pork. They also have espresso drinks and my cappuccino was served with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a lovely touch. This is a wonderful spot for breakfast or lunch“

“Haven't been there in years. Went back to try something new. Happily surprised. Went on Friday. Brought the whole family back on Sunday. The service is excellent and very personable. Met the owner. Very nice couple. You don't feel rushed. The food is very good. Large portions so be hungry when you go. Great value. I also enjoyed the music. I just missed the piano player because I had to leave but I'll be back.“

“Had dinner on 6/2/22. We had a party of 9 all together. Sat in the back room. Both the food and the server were fantastic. Sorry I didn't get her name. Come here maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Never disappointed!!“

“Favorite local bar! The boneless wings are the best!“

“Was surprised & thankful that this location is still open. You would drive right past it. It’s a bit small but food was hot & fresh. They were constantly keeping up with dirty tables and all. Very careful ALOT OF POTHOLES IN LOT“

“A Taste of Ireland 😋 does NOT disappoint!“

“The Beacon was so accommodating since I planned my entire wedding dinner within a month. I needed as few headaches as possible. Edna coordinated everything! The staff was very polite and attentive. Everyone LOVED the food and atmosphere. I will be coming in regularly to try the other dishes on the menu and maybe a little line dancing.“
