“Food is amazing/filling.

Matt, Meg, Crystal and Brittany are absolutely incredible servers, and they are absolutely friendly, considerate and caring. They deserve all the recognition and support, and will make your dinner feel wholesome and wonderful.“

“I got a grilled chicken club sandwich. Took a couple more minutes than I expected, but didn't mind since the food came out hot and fresh. Honestly a pretty great sandwich, good char on the chicken, crispy bacon and decent bread. Also on par price wise with something you'd get from McDonald's or BK while being heck of a lot better. Wish they had more locations and I'd go more often.“

“What an incredible event for our niece Angelina on her 18th Birthday! The family Nick, Patty and Alex Mastoris, down to the amazing staff that helped work Angelina's 18th birthday dinner was on point. The food, the amazing service and overall experience of how organized the dinner went. The family made our nieces birthday extra special that she won't ever forget. All family and friends enjoyed their cocktails, mocktails, dessert stations and prefix meal that was ABSOLUTELY delicious. Thank you so much Mastoris family! We will be definitely planning on a future party with you folks again. We are very thankful to all of you. Allison J“

“I am very pleased every time I’ve come here in the last few months. We get seated right away and the food comes out pretty quickly. However, the five stars really goes for the people that work there. They are so friendly which is saying much now a days in the restaurant industry. They have a great attitude, very respectful and just seem to enjoy working together. Keep it Hamilton Applebees team!!!“

“Great breakfast and friendly staff.“

“Quite simply The Blue Bottle has the best cuisine of any restaurant in the area that I live. And there are quite a few good ones. The only problem I have with them most often is getting a reservation on the weekend. I also have a problem managing culinary heat [a physical rather than a gastronomic one] and I wish I could tolerate more of it in some of their creations. I really recommend the place.“

“Gavin was amazing!!!!! Very attentive.“

“Great, relaxed lunch with DELICIOUS sandwiches/home-made bread...and let's talk about the desserts! What a great spot.“

“We had a special family luncheon for 16 people on Saturday April 22. We had coordinated everything with Lauren, owner of Acacia. The menu was excellent, with Entree offerings that were of interest to everyone. The salads were great, and the 4 entrees offered were all outstanding, with great sides on the plate. All the food was delivered to the tables at perfect temperature and preparation. It was all followed by excellent house-made desserts. Service was excellent, and Hermes made sure all guests had want they needed. Everyone in attendance raved about the food, the service, and the location. I was very pleased with the cost, the service offered, and the menu selections. Lauren and all of her associates made this an outstanding occasion. We will be back! Cliff T.“

“One of my favorite places to eat!!“

“First time and absolutely loved it ; we give a 5+ star rating- great beer/hard cider & and amazing burgers (fried green tomato—yum!) with a unique flare & fries were amazing, along with a cozy atmosphere! Highly recommend.“

“Best staff and fresh food!“

“Had a turkey club sandwich with chips. Enjoyed the food at a reasonable price in vibrant ambience. Will certainly return.“

“Great comfy atmosphere for bday get together.“

“First time going there and I loved it. Only thing was Canadian bacon was a little overcooked. Place was clean and cozy. Reminds me of a truck stop which I suggested to a nearby customer. Alana was amazing and patient. Love the prices and the hospitality. I also like the slot machines even though I lost ?. The French toast was filling and plentiful. I will definitely will return. Jersey future customer here .?“

“Had a great lunch there yesterday with the kids. Everyone was so friendly and they were so accommodating to my seven year old with autism. Their kindness will not be forgotten and we’ll be returning not just for the good food but for the warm welcome.“

“Had dinner here tonight. My husband and I agree that it was one of the best dinners we have had in a very long time. Service was amazing. Even the hostess was walking around helping! Also the banana cream pie was unbelievable!!!“

“Had a mocha, the country omelette, and home fries. The mocha and home fries were some of the best I’ve ever had. The country omelette was also excellent: the eggs were cooked perfectly. I will be coming back and bringing family and friends. A great addition to Princeton’s downtown. Excellent service and ambiance, to boot!“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. A place where everybody is somebody.“

“This bar does a great job of offering good drinks and food, making it a nice place to hang out. The beer list was awesome, and I really liked the fruited sour with its sweet berry taste. The French onion soup was tasty too, with the cheese all stretchy and the bread perfectly soaked so every bite had the right mix.

The staff were quick and friendly, but the bar was pretty crowded, and I had to sit near some loud coworkers, which wasn’t the best. Still, the place had a cool vibe overall.

The old-school decorations and the classic Princeton feel made it fun to be there. Even though the seating was tight, the good drinks and food make this bar worth checking out.“

Eli's dedication to providing an outstanding dining experience is palpable, making each visit memorable and enjoyable. It's not just about the food, which is delicious and expertly prepared, but the overall experience that keeps patrons coming back time and time again.“

“Outstanding. a real fantastic place in Princeton, NJ city centre. Refined, nice people, fantastic food, outstanding wine list, umbeatable cocktails. simply perfect“

“Tried Cosmos again for the 3rd time. Was really good. We both had an item that most people don't eat at a so called "pizza" restaurant. Salmon. Have to say it was really good. Good piece, nice size and tasted really good. Will definitely go back.“

“Great quality, well presented food in an upscale, but unassuming environment. Perfect for lunch with friends, colleagues, or a date night!

As a vegan, the variety of dishes to choose from was a relative rarity and greatly appreciated! I had the sweet potato and bean chilli which was really tasty, well balanced, gorgeously presented, hearty - the perfect dish for autumn. The plant based dishes were so well designed that my colleagues, both of whom eat meat, opted for vegan meals too!

The farm to table concept is fabulous and the quality of ingredients is noticeable on the first bite. Each staff member we had the pleasure of interacting with was lovely, and the service was excellent throughout.

Thank you Agricola team!“

“This is the definition of a hidden gem. Located in the Princeton Country Club (public), the food is outstanding and the chef is good at everything he puts on the menu. Service is kind, welcoming, and very accommodating. I didn't have a bite of food that I didn't like. Stand outs were the braised oxtail main, vegetable spring rolls, seafood gumbo with the catfish, shrimp with Alfredo, fried apple pie, BBQ chicken flatbread, A wonderful happy hour from 5-7pm.“

“I had my boyfriend’s surprise birthday party here and it was fantastic! The food and staff were both impressive!“

“Never knew this place existed. Happened to be parked there to go in 7/11 when I saw this place.
Friendly when you come in.. prices are pretty good. The chicken was fried crispy and moist. Wasn't dry at all. Chicken seasoned to perfection!
And the French Fries was delicious ?
I will definitely revisit and try something else.
Meal order was chicken and fries!!“

“This unassuming cafe is on the lower level of the Carteret Arms apartments. The residence is a place for the elderly and thus the hours are a bit wonky. Provided you want a meal before 6pm, this should be a go-to spot. \n\nEverything is delicious. They lean towards fried foods, but have a great selection of seafood dishes and grilled options. Neighborhood favorites include the island pasta, which is close to divine. \n\nOn this visit we tried the grilled chicken sandwich and the blackened sandwich, both of which hit the spot. Good greens and cabbage, too. The owner makes homemade desserts. There are a variety of soft drinks and it is otherwise BYOB. \n\nThere is a small area for dining if you want to eat in.“

“Seasons52 Princeton food is delicious and varied as its name implies. Service is excellent as is its atmosphere.Managers, hostest,servers and staff are hands on, knowledgable,friendly and accommodating.Highly recommended.“

“Was checking my out for a possible birthday party location and found the manager and staff to be very helpful and accommodating. The space is ample and the golf course looked great. I'd gone over earlier in the day and arrived as a post-golf tournament banquet was getting underway. If the smell of the food being served was a good indicator. It must be delicious. Will be returning this week to test/taste that theory out!“

“Greatest food. Nicest servers!!!“

“🍺Great food and beer selection“

“Under new management but still welcoming! My family has been patronizing Kasdon’s since 1972. We have never been disappointed w/ the menu, staff or atmosphere. [Love the staff] It’s still our go to place when we’re looking for a comfortable place for a bite or takeout. [Try the pizza] Even though it is under new management it still has maintained that atmosphere that makes you feel welcome anytime you walk in.“

“Nubia (manager) and her staff are lovely and the flavors/variety are impressive! It’s great to have a place like this on campus - a nice mix of faculty/staff and students use this for lunch. It’s a mix of buffet style with a formal dining room experience (wait staff for drinks and busking the tables). Nubia really makes you feel at home! Go check it out. All for about $10!“

“I had a great experience at Iron & Ivy! I loveeeee going to hotel restaurants! I feel like I'm on a sense of vacation even though I'm not staying over! When you walk into Iron & Ivy, you're greeted by a beautiful fireplace and bright, stocked bar! The hostess was so sweet and recommended amazing menu options! We started off with the quesadillas and the bourbon bbq wings! When I tell you, the quesadillas were top 5 all time, they are TOP 5! They didn't fall apart and were toasted to perfection as well as loaded with shrimp and cheese and beans and corn! It was PHENOMENAL! For dinner we ordered the Grilled Flat Iron Steak and the Spinach & Roasted Garlic Tortellini! The veggies were so delicious and it was a huge portion that I was able to bring home for lunch the next day! For drinks, you couldn't go wrong with the dirty martini, the very berry martini and the Soccer Mom Lemonade! It was a great night overall and they have a huge inside / outside dining area! Highly recommend checking out Iron & Ivy and make sure you order the quesadillas because they are LIFE CHANGING!“

“Group of 6 met for lunch. Almost drove by. Could use a better sign. Comfortable small sports bar atmosphere. Very good service and the servings of food were large. You will not leave hungry and will most likely bring some home. First time there and we will definitely return.“

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.“

“The owners were very accommodating and supportive in arranging a private party at the brewery. The staff were friendly and professional. The beer and food were great. Everyone at the party loved the spot. I was very pleased especially since I booked it sight unseen!“

“Celebrating 3 birthdays at Roots Ocean Prime with 8 people. Everyone loved their entrees (steaks ) which were cooked perfectly. Sides were tasty and enjoyed by everyone. Great wine list. Appreciated the wine recommendation by our server. Our server, Rachel, was excellent. The birthday desserts were the hit of the dinner! Thank you Roots Ocean Prime for making the birthday celebration extra special!“

“Delicious food & cocktails ❤️“

“Wasn’t a fan of the establishment under previous ownership. Went to today for breakfast knowing it was redone with the new owners. WOWZA! So much cleaner! Nothing was sticky or filthy! Pricing seems fair (even with add-ons), and food was tasty. however the bussers (is that what they are still called??) were FABULOUS. The young lady was great to know when I said a child was in the mix she just brought coloring items, and the young man was always making sure to refill coffee or clear dirty dishes. Looking forward to going back to try lunch and enjoying more breakfast noms in the future!“

“This was our first visit to the Brookwood Café. It is absolutely amazing. We spoke to one of the owners and she was so kind enough to let us sample the soup. Food is excellent! So happy we found this little gem.“

“Great staff and food and music!!!“

“Great Food. Great Staff. Highly recommended“
