“Highly recommend! We had our wedding at Galloping Hill Golf Course in the summer of 2025. The day was everything we could have hoped for and everything went so smooth! We worked with Emily throughout the process and she was great to communicate with. Any questions were answered right away. We wanted a venue that had both inside and outdoor options and loved that it had a covered patio for use all night. Ellis was our day of coordinator and both of our bridal attendants made the day run so smooth. Our guests loved cocktail hour and dinner. There was a great amount of food we went with the seafood station, pasta, Brazilian, and Chinese. We also did the breakfast sandwiches to go for the end of the night! The golf course made great photo backgrounds as well. We had the best time and would do it all over again if we could!”

Two Ton Brewing Co. 730 Federal Avenue, Kenilworth Brewery • $

“Under new ownership. Went as a group of 3 and we all enjoyed it. Im not a seltzer guy but I really liked the coffee seltzer that is similar to NYC coffee soda. Beers were pretty solid, decent line up. Outdoor patio with games. Ground level tap room in a former industrial building. Upstairs is going to be used soon owner said. Downstairs is called the speakeasy or the libary. Very cool vibe down there and it was also physically cool as it’s a basement. The books on the wall are very cool. Stacks of books and books on book shelves as well. Downstairs can be rented for private events as well. Owner was super friendly and we enjoyed talking to her. The atmosphere on the inside is way different than on the outside. Quick ride off the GSP. Parking is easy on lot onsite.”

Antojitos Luna 321 South Michigan Avenue, Kenilworth Family • $

“I popped in to the convenience section of this place to get some jelly. Then I saw birria tacos and asked how long for an order. They said 5 mins. I said perfect. I looked at the menu and saw so many things I wanted to try. The man was very kind and showed me pictures of all the foods they have. I ordered some chicharrines preparados to go. I also got a pineapple cucumber fresca. It was very very fresh. The birria tacos were delicious. They were in fact ready in 5 mins. The meat was perfectly cooked. So tender and very flavorful. I’m gonna go back to try more of their antojitos. Armando and Graciela were very welcoming and you can tell they really put love into the food they make. It’s also a small spot. People come and go from the convenience store part. It’s nice and quiet and you can really enjoy your meal.”

This time we were a group of six and ordered the lomo saltado, tallarín verde with steak, and pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken), and everything was excellent.
The chicha morada was homemade and delicious as well. To top it off, the service was excellent and we really appreciated the hospitality. All in all, an excellent meal and we’ll definitely be back!”

Reuben sandwich with fries ($15) chicken tenders with fries($13) bowl of mac and cheese ($12) chicken wings (6 for $8) we weren't going to eat here but it is inside the hotel and we didn't want to drive anymore after a long road trip to get to the hotel. if it wasn't for Erin's awesome service then we would have walked out.”

They are kind and welcoming, and they are great at their job. Food always comes out quick and fresh, longest i’ve had to wait for food was 10-20 minutes on a busy day. The atmosphere is pleasant, and this place is always decorated for the season, and the locals aren’t that bad. I’ve never had an issue with this place in my 2-3 years of coming here. Sometimes one of the machines can get loud, but it’s not for super long! This place is amazing, I 100% recommend it!”

“I grew up in Central Upstate NY and have been looking for a pie similar to our regular pizzas. Thinner than Sicilian, thicker than regular crust in NJ, made in a pan and not greasy (I know, a lot to ask). I finally found it!! Most NJ pan pizzas, outside of Pizza Hut, seem paper thin and not what I was looking for though tasty. I ordered for the first time (Kenilworth) the Vodka pan pizza and it was so delicious! I see in reviews that many here call it deep dish (different than true crust of a deep dish), but it isn’t… The crust and sauce were fantastic. Next time I will add basil or try another. Delivery was less than 1 hr over lunch time. 👍 Also felt like it was cooked perfectly for me.”
