“By far some of the best service I’ve been encountered in a restaurant. Everything was perfect; food, atmosphere and the live band. I do want to circle back about the food - the menu is out of this world food off the charts. I highly recommend this establishment.“

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

“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!“

“They handled our son's graduation party and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. Quick setup before and the food selections were all fresh and outstanding. Would absolutely recommend them!“

“I had an incredible dining experience at Applebee’s, thanks to our waitress, Adriana! From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Adriana was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure we enjoyed our meal. She anticipated our needs, kept our drinks topped off, and was quick with any requests we had.

Not only was she efficient, but she also had a great attitude and brought such positive energy to our table. It made our meal so much more enjoyable! If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for Adriana – she’ll make your visit exceptional. Thank you, Adriana, for your wonderful service“

“Too bad I live out of state because this is my FAVORITE restaurant in NJ. Wonderful staff and food. Not as noisy as other places because of the decor/layout. The prices seem a little high but when you can't even finish your food - that's a good deal. The menu is phenomenal. If you can't find something to eat here then you are insane.“

“Charming Atmosphere, Delicious Food, and Top-Notch Service at Country Cottage!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Country Cottage, I was charmed by the warm, cozy atmosphere. The décor set the perfect tone for a relaxing meal.

The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and efficient without being overbearing. It’s clear that the staff takes pride in making sure guests have a wonderful dining experience.

I’m already looking forward to my next visit!“

“Great place. Food and service are awesome .“

“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!“

“Had lunch there with my wife my cheese burger platter was excellent. Marlene had a dog all way and onion rings excellent. Coffee was good. Nice place .going return soon.“

“You going to get a consistent meal at the Lantern. I usually will order ahead and pick up through the drive through. Today, we ate in, and can I just say the staff was amazing. Queen DD was so sweet and the gentleman whose name I forgot to ask, but assume is management of some sort, was SO KIND. Absolutely fantastic experience with them today. Thank you so much for your patience and kindness towards us! Yall made my little girl’s day with that itty bitty ice cream cone.“

“Forgot how nice of a venue Rails is...it is really beautiful! Came here to celebrate 30+ years married and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Had oyster (east and west coast) appetizer and octopus with delicious garbanzo beans in a really tasty sauce!! Then had a NY strip and skirt steak... both cooked perfectly for medium rare. Had a side of creamed spinach which could've been cooked a little more...and very creamy. Next time I think I will get oil and garlic spinach instead..just a preference. Shout out to our waitress, Danielle,...very attentive and gave us a piece of cake on the house to take home and celebrate our anniversary...Also invited us to the speakeasy...but c'mon it's only MONDAY??? Saw.some people enjoying mac and cheese as an appetizer...looked good, but that would have been too much for us!! No starches ordered, but they looked good.“

“I went there for Amazon return. It’s just right next to #1 cashier, and the return process was quick and easy no label or box needed. Whole Foods market was huge and nice selection of produce and products available and convenient to go another shopping place like Loft and Talbot. Only concern was Google map guided me to middle of hwy 46 not the exact store. Be careful!“

“We have Alexander as our server and he was so pleasant and helpful. The food was served at a reasonable time and great pricing for what we ordered. The lava cake was 10/10. I noticed the restaurant itself is very clean which I truly appreciate. They were also decorated for the holidays which was nice to see!“

“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!“

“Fantastic chef, event planner and overall excellent food and service!“

“the whole menu is impressive! it was hard to make a choice. all of their sides are really creative. the food was hot, fresh and we look forward to our next visit already. the specials all sounded fantastic and creative too.“

“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.“

“Bridal shower, decor is stunning, food amazing“

“Great breakfast variety and good service.“

“NOTHING... The service was horrible and the wait time incredibly long. Then on top of all that they AUTOMATICALLY added a 20% gratuity to our bill and when the bill came there was a space to add a gratuity... so if you don't look at your bill and just add the gratuity you got RIPPED OFF“

“Stopped in for lunch mid trip. Great food and service! Should have picked up the "It's Taylor Freakin` Ham" shirt.“

“Went to yard house tonight . Great place but no atmosphere for the holidays . Every Restaurant you go to is decorated & fun .It's no joy , fun, why would you stop decorating your place . People enjoy the Xmas Decor & it's makes people feel more festive & want to drink , eat & enjoy .Big mistake not to decorate.“

“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!“

“Great carribean food like nowhere else, and the host of a great Wednesday jam that’s been going on for over 20 years.“

“It is good the food is delicious. They are helpful . When they come out with the food, it is warm . They are the nicest people you could meet. They are welcoming with open arms. Me and my friends always go there.“

“Sear House is impeccably clean, pastas and steaks are prepared well, bread served warm and housemade desserts delicious. The dinner pricepoint is a little high but comparable to similar menu restaurants in NJ. Sun-Thur prix fixe is your best bet but with limited selection. We appreciated the pristine airy ambiance, service and food at an earlier repast event with screens available to show photos and videos of remembrance. They were quite respectful of what was being said and shared and waited patiently to serve at appropriate times.“
