We will be coming back for more!! Awesome ambiance, beautiful decors, hip music and amazing servers. I also would like to give extra thanks to Miller... Overall, we are so happy with the whole experience!! 5 stars out of 5!!”

“They serve the best Venezuelan food in NJ. We tried their Pabellón, Cachapas, Pepito, and Hamburger… chicha, frescolita… everything was authentic and the price is reasonable. Highly recommended.”

“Derek and Emily were very helpful in my order
They know how to cook a brother up
5/5 service 5/5 food
They make the new Qdoba on the 1-9 all the more better shoutout to them and the new Qdoba spot”

“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.”

“Service and every dishes other than sushi was great! However, I really have to give the sushi rice they used and sushi selection limitation a comment because the rice used is not for sushi. Fish is really fresh, but rice is hard to chew or swallow. And selection for sushi is quite limited. The old menu they have has scallop and squid, none of that is actually selling any more. There’s basic fish sushi and all types of rolls tho which is nice, but rice really makes me hard to enjoy them. Despite all that, ither food choice is various from cold dish to hot fried rice to fruits and dessert. In general it is worth to try”

“I love this place so much. I just ordered a booster smoothie and a rotisserie. Chicken flatbread sandwich and it was amazing! The beautiful woman behind the counter, who made it, made it with some love. I'm definitely coming back whether it's either to see her. Eat that amazing sandwich and have another one of those amazing smoothies.”

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

“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!”

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

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere A+. This little spot in the heart of Linden is the place to go when you want some delicious and comforting food.”

“Had the pleasure of coming to Doughboy Johnny’s for lunch and had a blast! The food and music were great and Manny, was super personable. Will def be back and tell a friend.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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🙂”

“This classic place is the place to go when ever you want something fast to go, but be careful eating in the parking lot, because the tow guy will try to hook your car while your in it lol.”

“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.”

“This review is for the Linden location. So happy to have them in town. Staff is very friendly and accommodating and the food is delicious!!”

“We sat at the bar and enjoyed the wrap around TV screens showing every sport. The service was excellent. Gabe the bartender was friendly and welcoming. I think he could tell it was our first time there. He was on the ball with our drinks and knew when we needed another one before we had to say anything. The food was really good. We had the fried mushrooms and a couple sandwiches which were delicious. We're going back again for sure.”

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

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

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

“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 !!!”

“I just want to give this place the best review. The food is awesome and the service is A1. They are responsible and they care about the product they put out. Thank you for being great people.”

“Mery Cake did an amazing job on my husband’s birthday cake. It was beautiful, delicious, and the perfect touch for his special day. Everyone loved it—highly recommend! 🎂✨”

“buenísimo full diversion”

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

“I’ve been going to Sumoes for almost 3-4 years best halal food and best local store , they’re very respectful and kind they offered me free food when I was fasting to break my fast and didn’t ask for money in return , they’re the best Muslim people you’ll meet , overall food is amazing and affordable price you should definitely go .”

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

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

“it's a cool treat for my colleagues”

“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.”

“Loved the food, the staff and cozy feel inside. Its pick your food from a selection of ready made delicious spanish food... so if ure in a little rush, this is perfect.”

“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.”

“Best food around! Highly recommend! 😋😋”

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

“The food is amazing , I’ve tried many Peruvian spots in the Elizabeth / linden / Rahway areas and this place has the best of them all , great flavor to the food the portions are big and it’s affordable , only bad side is that they never answer the phone which is a huge issue because you have to go in person to order which is very time consuming. You sometimes have to call 10 times to get someone to pick up”

“It was amazing and the service was fast”

“Food was excellent. We ordered our food and it came quick and hot.”

“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❤️”

“Great bread conceived in the ovens in the heart of staten island. This construct is a monument for the ambitious talents and work ethic of italian americans in staten island.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Ol’ reliable! Have not been in a while and was impressed by the updates:

⭐️ QR codes to order right at your table
⭐️ Food brought directly to you!

Amazing! Highly recommend.

The staff was great, super friendly and helpful.

Sandwich and fries all for less than $10!”

“Great and friendly service”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

“My favorite place to order from. Chicken and Broccoli for the win!! They are so friendly and the food is very delicious and always steaming hot fresh off the stove! I also love that this place is family owned. The owners children are always so polite when speaking to customers, their manners are outstanding! The owners are amazing people as well. They are very personable and never forget to ask about my 4 yr old son when I’m picking up my takeout. They definitely stand out from the rest of any ordinary Chinese food restaurant. Keep up the amazing work.

Vegetarian options: Can get all options without meat. Sauces are very tasty no meat needed with entrees

Parking: Street parking and parking across street at Wells Fargo bank (shhhh) ?”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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”

“Absolutely amazing experience at Chop Spot BBQ! The food was beyond incredible — perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and some of the best BBQ I’ve had in a long time. Every bite was delicious, from the tender, juicy meats to the perfectly seasoned sides. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their food and service. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was great, clean, and comfortable. I highly recommend Chop Spot BBQ to anyone looking for top-tier BBQ. Definitely a 10/10 and I’ll absolutely be coming back!”

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

“This classic place is the place to go when ever you want something fast to go, but be careful eating in the parking lot, because the tow guy will try to hook your car while your in it lol.”

“EDIT : A manager reached out to me and immediately apologized and offered to fix the issue by offering another meal for me to make up for the issue which was much appreciated. They didnt even ask me to amend the review but im doing so because while mistakes can be made they are often not fixed but this restaurant chose to reach out to me make things right which makes me glad and encourages me to give them business again.

It was mostly amazing. I loved the staff they were super sweat and amazing !
But i got the shrimp platter and it was soggy and stuff like it wasn't fried right. I had to take it home and put it in the airfryer and then it turned out amazing.

Not a big deal but I did wait a really long time for a to go order but that wasn't the servers fault. That day I didnt really mind cause I was drinking so my patience was much higher lol

I do recommend getting their chicken quesadillas i absolutely devoured them each time I had it.”

“GREAT FOOD 👍👍👍👍👍 I really enjoyed eating there”

“Enjoyed the food and service. Everyone was polite n helpful, very clean place.”

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

“Hubby & his bandmates (the DiscoTeks) closed out the season of the Linden (NJ) summer entertainment series (in the promenade). Prior to their show, we stopped in at this Wendy's. The staff was friendly and the food was hot & d'lish.”

“Eman working at this location is a gem! He fixed the issue with my orders and even asked to give me a pastry to compensate. I come here to this location a lot but will always be coming here from now, as I sometimes go to Rahway. Thanks so much for the great service!”

“Five stars for Alejo! He made our visit to Blaze Pizza wonderful and was so helpful with our family and friends. To top it off, he made the pizza to perfection. Thanks for a great experience!”

“I love Louie G. Me and my partner come all the time and enjoy all the icee flavors as well as the ice cream. 10/10 service ! Thank you for always providing a wholesome time for me and mine !”

“I tasted Bullhorns Burgers, and it was sooo good. The burger was super juicy and packed with flavor, with fresh toppings that made every bite satisfying. The bun was soft, the meat was perfectly cooked, and everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. It felt filling without being too heavy, and the fries on the side were crispy and delicious. Definitely a place I’d go back to when I’m craving a really good burger. 🍔😋”

“Omg! I was visiting family in NJ and got a recommendation to try their vegan menu—so glad I did. The # of options and their flavors are amazing. I’ve tried many vegan spots over the past 8 years, and this is easily one of the best.
I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, chikn Caesar wrap, empanada, mango cake, tres leches, agua de Jamaica, and horchata—everything was outstanding. Buffalo chicken wrap is my absolute favorite! The flavors and the portion sizes are generous for the price. They also have plenty of non-vegan options and desserts. Very helpful when going out with the fam.
I ended up going back twice in the same weekend! I honestly wish I lived closer. This will definitely be my go-to spot every time I’m in town. Great service, too.”

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

“The Kave in Linden, NJ is a local favorite! Friendly bartenders, very affordable drinks, and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere make every visit enjoyable. The jukebox keeps the vibe lively, and on weekends, the DJ adds extra fun. Perfect spot for a night out with friends or a relaxed evening in New Jersey. Highly recommended! 🎶🍹”

“I started to get the Bahama Mama smoothies at Tropical Smoothie and it is amazing! I go here at least twice a week and there smoothies never miss. I appreciate the staff they are kind as well! Love this place ❤️”

“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.”

““The food was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. The service was fast and friendly, and the place was clean and welcoming. Definitely one of my favorite spots now—highly recommend”

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