“What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing, I even had the eggplant which I haven’t touched in years. Great atmosphere. Polite wait staff and the owner was a sweetheart! They really try hard to make your meal memorable. I don’t normally write reviews but I had to for Cypress Tavern. All of our guests had a great things to say about the meal and the service.“

“Bridgette had Myles come over to cook for a private party. I would highly recommend them! Easy to work with, very clean and super friendly! Thank you!“

“Adam’s Beer Garden is a secret gem! I’ve driven passed this a thousand times. There is more then enough room to watch all the games. Spread out at this bar there is a bunch of things to do. Play pool, play the lottery, I believe they have a dart board! Go outside where there is even more endless space and challenge someone to foos ball. Before you go outside grab a cigar from their humidor. Then just chill out there in front of a big screen and watch your team win a game. They have a okay selection of cigars to choose from. The cigars are reasonably priced. Lots of beer on tap. We ordered a pitcher you should too! Cash only! Don’t think they sell food.

Parking: I parked along the railroad tracks.“

“Had a great time tonight having dinner with a friend of mine. Phenomenal chicken salad grilled with balsamic dressing and also the amazing homemade chili. Great place, awesome service, everything homemade and delicious. Such awesome service, and highly recommend for anyone to come and eat if you’re in Rockaway. Love this place!!!!!! 😀👍“

“Stumble inn is the classic north jersey local bar/pub. It has that Old schoolatmosphere with mostly a local crowd but are very welcoming to all. Awesome shuffle board table that you don't see that often. Food is good, wings, bar pie's and killer burgers.“

“If you’re in Wanaque, Flips is the dive bar you need to check out. Tucked off Ringwood Ave, it’s got cold beers, fast, friendly bartenders, and Joe, the owner, is simply the man.

The vibe is classic dive—dim lights, jukebox, and regulars who make you feel like family. But the food? That’s where Flips stands out. Chef Robert takes dive bar staples to the next level crispy calamari, gourmet burgers, and a sizzler steak that could rival any fine dining spot. All made with locally sourced ingredients and a chef’s touch.

The daily specials hit the mark, and the Bloody Marys are on point. If you’re looking for a dive bar with heart and flavor, Flips is the place to be. You won’t be disappointed!“

“The Sidedoor is under new ownership, and I’ve already seen some really positive changes! It’s in a great spot, and they’ve started adding food and making little updates that make a big difference. The vibe is super inviting! It’s definitely a place where anyone can feel welcome.

If you’re into beer, pool, darts, shuffleboard, and just a good time in general, this is the place to check out. Excited to see what’s coming next for The Sidedoor!“

“This has quickly become my new favorite spot. The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure you feel right at home. The bar has an awesome partnership with the Smoke Shack BBQ across the street, making it even better. The vibe is laid-back, and they offer a great selection of craft beers, wines, and a wide variety of whiskeys and tequilas. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a good drink.“

“I came here on Mother's Day to celebrate with my parents. If you want outdoor seating when there is a band, arrive early because there are only 3 or 4 outdoor tables. I tried to order lunch at 12 but was told it isn't served until 1 pm. When I politely asked if they could make a grilled chicken salad, the cook said no problem. Great customer service! Food was good too. Next time, I should try the Irish breakfast- a beer, a shot of whiskey, and bacon; it's actually a great idea. 😂“

“One of our favorite local spots. Perfect for outdoor dining during nice summer weather. Their menu has a lot to pick from and everything we’ve gotten has been delicious. Highly recommended.“

Thank you Dan and your entire team.“

You end up feeling like you know the guy for years…. Matt is the owner, who undoubtedly lead me to select some excellent choices of wine, that my husband and I truly enjoyed. I’m looking forward to futures opportunities to shop (and learn) thank you“

“We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Miguez at Yard House yesterday, and his service was nothing short of outstanding. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. He was attentive, kind, and made sure every detail was taken care of with a smile. Thank you, Miguez, for making our time at Yard House so pleasant—we’ll definitely be back because of you!“

“My first visit to this restaurant on August 21st, 2025 was a resounding success, with the food being truly exceptional. The grilled salmon, accompanied by onion rings and vegetables, was a highlight, and our waitress, Jean, provided attentive and friendly service, making us feel right at home. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for its outstanding cuisine, service, and ambiance. Oh btw, the complementary bread alone is worth the trip!“

“The Second Half on Main is such a great spot! The owners are absolutely amazing—so friendly and welcoming. The service is always fantastic, the food is delicious, and the whole place just has such a fun and cozy vibe. It’s the kind of place you can go with family or friends and always feel right at home. We love it here and can’t wait to come back!“

“Outstanding, just outstanding. I must preface this review by saying we have had many wedding and baby showers and even dined in the private room with our immediate family when our daughter earned her Master's Degree. We have never been disappointed with the planning host, food or servers. I digress to our dinner at the Mediterranean Grill. We were greeted by our just fantastic waiter. Dam, I forgot his name. His demeanor was that of a very knowledgeable and professional gentleman. Attentive throughout our meal, and our chicken and shrimp dish. Perfectly prepared, hot and delicious. For an appetizer we had calamari friti, hot and crunchy, yum. Dessert was a cannoli and zabaglione over berries. so delicious and fresh. Great, great evening........“

“Nice place for the kids to enjoy a party“

“Ate here for the first time with my sisters, and we had a fantastic experience. Our server, cherrylynn, gave us a run down of the menu and was very attentive. We had the jerked chicken wings and yuca fries and were in love. Would be dining here again“

“As a local mortgage lender, I’ve been to a lot of great restaurants, but Rails Steakhouse stands out as my absolute favorite. Everything I’ve ever tried here has been excellent — the honey bourbon ribeye is my go-to, the Caesar salad is phenomenal, and the blue cheese au gratin potatoes are incredible. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is top-notch. The speakeasy downstairs is such a cool addition and makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Rails for anyone looking for an unforgettable meal and vibe.“

We will be returning for our next event!“

“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“

“The pierogi appetizer was 10/10 delicious! Great location! And our server was Sonya and she was helpful, happy and attentive ! So many desert options as well!! The mint chocolate is what we went for and again 10/10!! My cousin and I will be back!“

“We've been Wayne residents for three decades and somehow missed this culinary treasure! The warm welcome and attentive service set the tone for a fantastic meal. The menu is a delightful surprise, catering to all tastes. The Potato Cheese Tots and Bacon Mac and Cheese were crowd-pleasers, while the French Onion Soup, Pork Scallopini Marsala, Filet Mignon, Filet of Sole Capricciosa, and Chicken Toscana were simply delicious. A must-visit for anyone in Wayne!“

“Jenn the bartender is great“
