Thier pink beans with the squash, gives it that puerto rican sabor. The chicken is flavorful and their skirt steak is on the money. The salmon is delicious and their potatoe salad is just like grandma's 👍🏽. The service is excellent and the food is always fresh. They're a little pricey, but absolutely worth it.”

Food is great!! Love the small portions, allowed us to try a lot of different rolls. But what definitely stood out is service and how accommodating they are. Will definitelyyy be back!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“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 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.”

“First time coming here. The food was great. I had the long hots as my appetizer delicious! The black and blue Burger was really good. And it was huge! Service was on point. Definitely coming back, there's quite a few things on the menu I would like to try. Highly recommend!”

“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 .”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“My first time there I got a pork sandwich to go and when I got home and took one bit and had to call them to tell them how good the sandwich is, and large sandwich as well, they just opened up and I prayed to God that they do well with their business, John”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

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

“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.”

“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❤️”

“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.”

“It was amazing and the service was fast”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“The food here was fantastic. I’m hardly impressed by Dominican restaurants in the areas and this one blew us away. It was so fresh and you can taste it was made with care.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Best food around! Highly recommend! 😋😋”

“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.”

“It was amazing food was fire🔥🔥🔥”

“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 ?.”

“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”

Thier pink beans with the squash, gives it that puerto rican sabor. The chicken is flavorful and their skirt steak is on the money. The salmon is delicious and their potatoe salad is just like grandma's 👍🏽. The service is excellent and the food is always fresh. They're a little pricey, but absolutely worth it.”

“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!”

“Wow! I wish I lived closer- I would be a regular! The food is amazing. I got Tropical Tacos and the Papaya smoothie this time, but with all the options it was hard to choose. I just can’t imagine any way to improve this meal, it was divine! And FYI I ordered off the vegan menu so im happy to confirm they know flavor no matter the protein source!!”

“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”

“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. 🍔😋”

“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!”
