“I was so happy everyone enjoyed the food. I ordered for dinner at work some others wanted to try it. We had the fried porgies fish, flounder fish, rasta pasta, string beans, collard greens, mac and cheese yams. The fish was fried golden brown with a light crisp to it seasoned well just right besides were all good. They enjoyed the Rasta pasta we ordered it as a side but we will order it as a main dish next time. My plate in the picture looks a bit messy it's because I try to cram a little bit of everything on it at one time.“

“Food was good and very fresh.“

“We tried Hook & Reel for the first time and enjoyed it so much, we went back 2 days later. The food was well prepared, delicious, and served hot. Yummy lobster bisque, I ordered a 2nd bowl after finishing the first! Fried calamari was yummy as well. The raw oysters were perfect and the boil with Hook & Reel's own Cajun sauce was outstanding. Our server, Moe, was friendly and very efficient; he makes your dining experience error-free so you can relax and enjoy the meal. The Manager here gets credit for a well-run ship! He really appreciates the customers and it shows. You will definitely want to eat here frequently. Great service, tasty food, relaxed atmosphere - you won't be disappointed.“

“Great food. Welcoming you from the door and checking on you throughout needs some work. Hostess wasn’t hospitable.“

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

“We ordered delivery to Union. Our order arrived about 30 min early and was fresh, hot and delicious!! I highly recommend this location and will become a regular customer.“

“The portions are really generous — plenty of fish slices and side dishes, great value for the price. The taste is excellent too: the broth is tangy, spicy, and appetizing, and the fish is tender and full of flavor. The service was also satisfying — the staff were warm and attentive, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience was comfortable.“

“Excellent service. What’s the owner name“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend:)“

“Seafood pimps was the best decision I could had made to celebrate my 56th birthday. I decided to purchase the Nexf ix & Chill. First the presentation was SUPERB. The crabs, mussels and shrimp were FRESH and DELECTABLE. The vegetables were seasoned to perfection. least of them all the amount that you receive is enough to feed a full size family, and we only ordered for two. I will definitely be back. I recommend Seafood Pimps to anyone that enjoy fresh mouth watering seafood.“

“Good food and atmosphere and service always on point and both courteous and prompt ….. make a an awesome Pomegranate Martini 🍸“

“We love Perla Oyster Bar! Have been there 6 times this summer. We've gone as an entire family of 7 and as just the 2 of us and have thoroughly enjoyed our meals there every time. Service is great, all the wait staff have been friendly and professional and fun. We are grateful for this addition to our neighborhood, Maplewood NJ as Perla has become one of our 'go to' spots when we go out for a great meal and a good time.“

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.“

“I had the egusi with pounded yam and the jollof rice with beef and plantains, and everything was delicious. The food tasted like a home-cooked meal—fresh, flavorful, and made with care.

The owners showed warm and friendly hospitality. If you're looking for authentic, west African food— I recommend paying Asanka Local a visit.“

“The atmosphere was very relaxing. Felt like a nice place to eat that wasn’t too crowded or overstuffed. The food was well prepared and left me feeling full and satisfied. I like that they update the menu to different seasons so I’ll return to see what new dishes they’ll serve next.“

“Had the pleasure of eating at Giorgio"s last night before a show at SPAC. Service was outstanding, menu explained and food was excellent. From our salad, entree and desert everything was outstanding. I highly recommend it but please not before a show I may now get a reservation again.“

“It was a wonderful experience trying Lebanese cuisine for the first time. I love everything my daughter-in-law ordered. My favorite was the Old City Platter. I got to try different things. The hummus plate was awesom❤️‍🩹“

“Very good food,delicious!🍗“

“This is such a humble place. The atmosphere is calm; the staff is super friendly, approachable, and kind. Their story feels so full circle, and I feel like this place was meant for them and the community. Okay, now their food is so delicious, cooked perfectly, and the wait time isn’t long.“

“My wife and I have been patrons and huge fans of Chez Catherine for nearly 30 years. Last Friday, we happily celebrated our 39th anniversary there with another very fine lunch. It's always a pleasure to be greeted like old friends by owner Stephane Bocket and seated at what we think is the best table in the tastefully decorated, elegant restaurant. We both chose the prix fixe menu. For starters, my wife had the always terrific moules and I a lovely mixed salad. We both chose beef bourguignons for our main course and asked Stephane to suggest wine from the by-the-glass list. His selections of a chablis for my wife and pinot noir for me worked perfectly with the outstanding bourguignons. We finished by sharing a delicious Baba au Rhum, prepared by Stephane at tableside. Dining at Chez Catherine is always a special event to us. Everything about it is first class. If you are unfamiliar with Chez Catherine, it has been one of New Jersey's Top 5 restaurants for nearly 40 years. We recommend it highly and urge lovers of fine dining to not wait but reserve a table NOW. We're sure you'll find it to be as special as we do.“

“The food is wonderful. Friendly staff and great food. Fun atmosphere for birthdays or parties. Thank you for making my mom’s 85th birthday dinner great !“

“Lunch service was nice. However my brother ordered a Paella and there was hardly any rice in it. Given the fact the waiter insisted it would feed 3 I'm glad he ordered his solo cause it was barely enough for him. I ordered a chicken breast and chorizo lunch special. It was good. Aside from the spicy flavors it was great. The service was fantastic. It's no wonder they've been around for a long time. My brother recommended this place since he's been coming here a long time. I'm definitely opened to give it another try.“

“Best seafood I’ve had in a very long time. The scallops with pork belly is phenomenal! Even the 1 steak they offer was outstanding. Perfectly cooked at medium rare !! Great service and perfectly made Negroni’s !“

“yesterday I went with my homie and spent $50 after leaving the casino, the food was delicious i even dropped a $8 dollar tip and was on fb live with tommy tuck, but my girl went their hrs after and said she was disrespected by a dude that seem drunk....Tommy plz give me a call I've been trying to reach u.“

“I can only comment on food because we got our order to go. But the food was excellent. I grew up on Cape Cod so the Maine style lobster roll was as good as any I have had right on the water. And the hamburger was excellent.

Question: if my wife who does not eat meat gets the fish and chips, is there a way to get those chips not fried in beef tallow? See, a lot of people who are ordering fish and chips don’t eat meat.“

“Lovely auntie makes the best samosa chaat I’ve ever had! Literally so mouthwatering“
