“As Linden continues to change over the years, The Linwood is constantly excellent. The Food, Service & Staff are always solid and kid's are always welcome. Go get yourself a pizza, cold drink, the Jolly Rancher Chicken Sandwich and enjoy.”

“Excelente comida, fui un día por que andaba cerca pero ahora aunque esté largo busco hacer ruta por ahí. Muy buena comida y excelente servicio.”

“I had heard from my son and a friend about this restaurant and decided to check it out, with a friend. I ordered the fried chicken wings, candied yams, collards and Mac & cheese. My friend had the rasta pasta and j*** chicken. everything was delicious. We will be returning to sample more dishes.”

“Actual affordable, delicious and healthy plant-based option (via the veggie bowl) and a wonderful and kind staff in Ari who made it possible. Thank you 🙏🏼”

Very clean drama free establishment and Kami my server was excellent professional very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks 💕 10 stars”

“One of my favorite local restaurants! Last few visits fortunate to have the Server Cesar! Cesar is absolutely fantastic! Thank you for the magnificent dining experience! My favorite is the salmon dish! & white sangria! Loved the tiramisu! See you soon!”

“This is my second time here in one month. Jelissa was our server this time around. Ask for her! The food, drinks and atmosphere was amazing the reason why I’m back.”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We use Primavera's frequently to feed our business employees. 10/10 recommend their pizza and delivery service. Deliveries are always on time, and the pizza is perfection. Dough is nice and soft, but a "great undercarriage". No other pizza place in the area is comparable. Dave Portnoy would probably rate it a 7.5, but it is a solid 9.5 in my book. All in all, solid pizza.”

“Great place for Haitian food 👏🌺”

“Seriously I lived in Linden for 12 years and tried many Chinese food restaurants...this place is amazing. I am addicted to their sesame seed chicken with brown rice and broccoli. I always used to order it from them. The owner she is extremely friendly. I moved from Linden New Jersey to Maryland in 2021. I seriously miss this place because my Chinese food places down here can't even compare to the way that she cooked the food. I am seriously missing Main Moon. Don't take this restaurant for granted They know how to cook Chinese food.”

“I always enjoy the food and atmosphere at Flaming Grill. The service is exceptional the wait time is minimal in comparison with other restaurants. I’ve been going there since 2015 and the food is extraordinary.”

“Muy buena atención y servicio muchas gracias por todo muy recomendable 👍”

“I consider myself a self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur. I recognize when a pizzeria uses Grande cheese, the Cadillac of mozzarella. Pasquale's crust is just right, not too thin and not too thick. Their sauce is perfect. My go to pizza is with anchovies and they put just enough. I rate their pizaza as a 10! Mangia, abbondante!”

“This is more of a takeout spot. There are a few chairs where you can sit but it’s a pretty small venue. The wait time was long and they were busy but the food was AMAZING! So flavorful and truly authentic Haitian cuisine. They have variety in the menu and tons of items to choose from with photos so you can see what it looks like before you order.”

“Always a good experience stopping by with friends at midnight and receiving the best customer service by Luis. He is always happy and energetic. Truly the best location thanks to him! Will keep coming in for my refresher🙂”

“Well, I waited quite a while at the drive-thru... they are definitely not quick like White Castles in NYC. Was happy to wait though since there are hardly any White Castles left in NYC.”

“Great food. So far the best colombian food I ate in NJ.”

“Freddy's is awesome. Best burgers in NJ.”

“this is the best bar an restaurant Katrina an Abby are the best bar tenders an the food is amazing.”

“Great food big al great people best HOGIES AROUND !! 👍👍”

“I never knew this place was Halal, otherwise I would have tried them out long ago. Fortunately they are and the cheesecakes are wonderful.The bread was fresh and soft and the meat was seasoned. I look forward to trying their pepperoni pizza. Finally halal Pepperoni.”

“This is my 5th cake from her and I’ll keep coming back! Every cake is beautiful and tastes just as good as it looks. She’s super talented—highly recommend!”

“I would always come and get a burger meal at night, my guys always got me straight man. i stopped coming bc i had no money for a couple of days and come to find out it closed, stay happy guys”

“buenísimo full diversion”

“Was here in on a mini vacation and was recommended to this place . As I woman that works in the food industry this pace was really good !!! They were busy but got our food out in a good quality time . Garlic shrimp was amazing !!! Dave the sauce for dipping your bread and even adding your rice for a nice twist !!! Will def come back ! Staff was friendly . And it’s a byob which makes it great as I’m on a budget with travel . Thank you guys !!!”

“Delicious empanadas, bread and pastry. They have vegan and vegetarian healthy options as well. ❤️”

“Gracias por brindarme la mejor atención en su Restaurante mamis cosina y gracias a esas manos qué cosina tan Rico su sabor es delicioso”

“Every time I come here the food is great...Thanks Rich.”

“it's a cool treat for my colleagues”

“Good food, good price. My favorite is the mat lovers. They do it well”

“Great place and great wing!!”

“This is a specialty Polish market and I went there specifically to get a dish for Christmas Eve. (It was my first time there, because I was looking for a certain dish) The line for their fresh cut meats & cold cuts was the entire length of the store, so it must be good. It is not a dine-in place. The store looked well-kept & clean. The refrigerated cases were shining and full. I will certainly return in the future.”

“Vibe seemed great but I guess if you aren't a regular its like you dont exist here lol. Sat for 30-45 minutes before anyone even said anything. Ill give it another try based on the vibe and the older crowd.”

“I fell upon this food gem on accident and sooooo glad I did.. 😊 I purchased the beef empanada ate it in my car and immediately went back inside for the $13.99 lunch special Baked Chicken, White Rice, Black Beans, and a Sancocho soup ... chef's kiss 😘”

“If you're looking for a clean home made tasting bowl of Pho this is your place. I prefer the chicken broth over the beef. I recommend the pork or shrimp Pho and the pork & chicken spring rolls are amazing and full of flavor. This place is pretty affordable and cheaper then the ramen houses close by.”

“One day my friend was driving, and he accidentally had reversed into someone's garage door. As we didn't know what to do, we looked up some garage door company, one that came up was Genes Garage Door. Jacob was there promptly to assess the damage and fix the problem. More than pleasant to work with. Would recommend for any garage or door emergencies.”

“A lot of food. If you don' t like spicy food don't get any meat or fish. You can get legume.That's why I gave 4 stars. If you love spicy food the best ?. They serve breakfast and the "mais" is delicious.”

“Of all Peruvian restaurants in the area, have to say this one is the most that tastes like home. They have unique way in getting the taste right on point. We are a regular and highly recommend!!”

“Lovely authentic Italian restaurant:) great variety and good quality!”

“Very cozy place, delicious food, they serve you a lot for little money, the staff is very friendly and they serve you with care, I recommend it. They prepare the chicharrón delicious.”

“Classic place for eating in a quite place in the middle of city

Vegetarian options: Ask the person on counter to prepare a vegetarian dish, because they don’t have menu.
Most of the bakery items contains eggs, so ask if you try to avoid.”

“It was amazing and the service was fast”

“ITS EVERYTHING PEOPLE NEED FOR THEIR SOUL AND IT BRINGS BACK THE FEELING OF LOVE AND FAMILY”

“Had a sausage parm and a chicken parm today was delicious .”

“excelente servicio, el sabor incleible,,,super económico. los felicito, me prepararon una tortillas de harina, exactamemte como la queria”

“I Seen Alot Of People Coming Out This Restaurant So I Decided To Give This Restaurant Another Try Because I Had Bad Experiences Before I Figured The Original Owners Was Old & Tired I Guess They Been Missing Steps and I Just Never Went Back......Well The Food Is 10 Times Better I Met The New Owners She Said They Been Their About Almost 2 half years Now They're Very Friendly..... I Told Her To Put Sign Stating Under New Mangement So People Will Know Their New Owners Because Im Glad I Gave Them Another Chance Because My Food Been Very Good & Fresh & I Just Love Their Vegetable Lomein & Pepper Steak❤️”

“Drive there from Bloomfield...Food is excellent...I’m obsessed 👍🏼”

“George Deli is a great store, so much like the stores we had in yesteryear. George is friendly, warm and family oriented. The store is clean and not over price. I feel very comfortable shopping there and having small conversations. May God continue to bless him.”

“Got the steak from here a couple times, the steak was very good from here.

There’s also so many options for when me and my family and friends are ordering with me, no one gets to complain that they don’t have the food they want like other restaurants.”

“I can't begin to explain how great the food was here.

I had a quesadilla de champiñones (mushroom quesadilla) and I can say it was the most authentic I've had outside Mexico.

My server, the daughter of the owners, was so kind and welcoming.

Upon asking for a chile asado (toreado), I was given one without hesitation.

All their salsas are homemade, no bottled salsa :)

To end the review, their bathroom was impeccably clean and well maintained.

I'll be back again! I highly recommend you visit this hidden gem and support the younger sister by buying her handmade crafts.”

“Excelente service, delicious food, delectable pastries and exquisite cakes! 👍👍👍👍”

“First time here and we loved the food ? we are from NY and have been trying different Chinese food from NJ and nothing was good enough until now. We are very pleased. We are definitely coming back.”

“I decided to go try the wings here and i was not disappointed at all. The chicken was done well, the sauce was really good and flavorful, there were so many sauces to choose from. The fries were fresh and crispy, the service was great, everyone was so pleasant, the owner came out to see how I was doing, the place and restroom was really clean. I will definitely recommend this place to eat at.”

“I love the food from here. Usually I get the shrimp and broccoli, hunan chicken and egg rolls BUT the lo mein and chop suey are completely inedible. I literally had to throw them both away after one bite. So I’ll just stick to what I usually eat from now on.”

“Made reservations at this restaurant for lunch after a funeral for 23 people. We pre-ordered a buffet style lunch. The food was delicious. The chef even came out to serve and make sure we were OK.
Cons: the food was not on steam tables, only sitting on tables, so it got cold fast.
The restrooms needed a good scrubbing.
It was a small restaurant.
Parking lot was small.
Overall a good experience. The food was delicious and service was great.”

“Shakes are great here, service person was exceptional. They went out of their way to make what I wanted. The only downside here is that they don't have the "Mountain Man" Smoothie like other locations.”

“It was amazing food was fire🔥🔥🔥”

“Food is good… just can’t get over the fact they treat black/non Spanish people like crap. This place is closed to my house so I’m not talking about one experience. Literally everytime I come here they overlook me in order to take a Spanish customer order no matter if they are at the back of the line. I was literally standing at the register instead of saying excuse me they was reaching over me and looking through me. Like I said food is good but if your black or don’t speak Spanish they treat you bad”

“This restaraunt is sooo coool. i love the food dont listen to the bad reviews because this place is the BOMB. i am good friends with the owner's son and he was the one who recommended it to me. keep up the good work”

“Best food around! Highly recommend! 😋😋”

“Jaylin is so tea !!!!!!! YOU GUYS NEED TO GIVE HIM A RAISE. I don’t even know him but I have met him in the drive thru when taking my order and it felt like I knew him for some time. He’s so welcoming & funny. He definitely made my night.”

“Good food, good price. My favorite is the mat lovers. They do it well”

“Me encanta el pollo a la brasa de ahi, pero ultimamente viene crudo, llame a decirles para que tengan mas cuidado pero no logre comunicarme.”

“Melissa from bakers bounty is so nice. The crumb cake is excellent. We like more crumb & less cake.We also bought a loaf of the semolina twist Italian bread which was very good as well. I would recommend them to anyone because they have good products & stand by them. Thank You ?.”

“Freddy's is awesome. Best burgers in NJ.”

“Normally, i have a good experience in this new Oanda Express, HOWEVER, I sent my daughter there & they gave me all burned pieces of terayaki chicken. The mgr apologized and said he'd send me another with a deliver i put in, but he did not send it, never answered my call & i left a message & he never called back. I give a 3.5 for that. I have NEVER had a bad experience at the other Panda Express locations in nearby cities. They need managerial & worker training. Quick”

“Jaylin is so tea !!!!!!! YOU GUYS NEED TO GIVE HIM A RAISE. I don’t even know him but I have met him in the drive thru when taking my order and it felt like I knew him for some time. He’s so welcoming & funny. He definitely made my night.”

“Everytime I order online or through the drive thru the service is always amazing. me and my friend come often because we enjoy the $6 box. One of the employees i believe his name is rasel i may be wrong but he is the main one we interact with and he’s super nice.

“The food the service top notch! Corey is a great attendant and worker was very pleased with the timely factors as well as the meal the chicken with that green sauce was to Phenomenal.”

“ES UN EXELENTE RESTAURANT EL MEJOR,EL NUMERO UNOO!!!”

“It’s very convenient since there’s parking availability. Some of the staff are friendly, they will greet you but others will not even answer to a Good Morning from clients. There are some in every crowd, maybe they should change their attitude, if you can not deal with the pubic then don’t work at a place that you will constantly be with people.”

“It was amazing food was fire🔥🔥🔥”

“excelente servicio, el sabor incleible,,,super económico. los felicito, me prepararon una tortillas de harina, exactamemte como la queria”

“As far as fast food goes, this spot is a little weird. It's basically a checkers kitchen with a drive through and a tiny walk up window.

There is some seating outside.

I didn't order a lot, but my order was quick, friendly, and my order was exactly what I wanted.

This really is a quick stop for food, but it works.”

“Had the best dinner with my girlfriends and chef Alex Diaz was so friendly and made us feel so special! Highly recommended the fungi pasta and the salmon poppers! And for dessert the creme brulee and grandma's cookies!”

“I love the tenders! Fresh and seasoned well! Very clean place and the customer service was amazing! Camila and Crystal were super nice and friendly! Thank you!”

“Ice cream is good! Sucks they didn’t have some things and said it would be available next week. Also there was only one worker and wasn’t moving fast enough our ice cream was melting while waiting for the rest of our order. Also be aware with a card charge there is a random $1 being charged with no explanation on the receipt. Comes up as a “.” with $1.00 next to it. Wasn’t aware of it to my knowledge. Overall ice cream is pretty good.”

“very polite good customer service and The Sloppy Sub was awesome definitely a spot i will be coming back 🥪”

“I’ve been here 6 times in the past year and ordered food multiple times and it’s always amazing. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy Vegan and non Vegan food with friends it’s great and you can top it off with Vegan and non desserts. Jericho has served me multiple times and he’s always so welcoming and nice as well as the daughter of the owner she was the first person to help us. I highly recommend the Vegan stuffed peppers. It’s like walking into someone’s house for dinner definitely recommend. Thank you guys”

“Dat boy with the smart glasses on made ma food so good 💯 Add pesto to your pizza yall it will change your life. Live laugh blaze pizza… Ima be back soon trust”

“Lo mejor en comida peruana. Super atención. Es una parada obligatoria.”

“Whether it's empty or crowded, I love being able to just hang out in a place where nothing extra is required of me. Nothing more than my wallet is needed to have a good time. Fairly new pool table with 2 dollar games, a wide assortment of drinks to choose from, a very simple yet delicious food menu, and a very hospitable wait staff. The Kave is slowly becoming my regular go-to spot after a long work week”

“Good local casual food, that didn’t make me feel bad about eating it. Variety of options which I’ll be back to try! It’s great that it’s open late.”

“Love coming here after a workout! The smoothies and food are very good. My favorite is the Chicken pesto flatbread and blueberry bliss smoothie.

The staff is always very friendly and orders come out fast even when busy. Use the app to get rewards and promotions.”

“I've been to the bolla market main part of the store many times and its a nice experience. I didnt see any bolla market google review page for this location so I decided to leave the review here.”

“Food is great! Place is big enough for large families. Family friendly atmosphere and great service. Prices are fair and food is delicious. The times I have been there they are not blasting your ears. All the servers are great. They offer excelente service. Andrea, the manager also makes things happen if you have a special diet.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Viviana was super helpful yesterday . She helped me with my order and was really patient when I was struggling to order something. Great work!”
