“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

“I was recently in New Jersey for a concert and staying at a hotel for a few nights. My friend and I were looking for a quick bite to eat nearby. We decided to go to this place on a whim and it turned out to be one of the best decisions ever. The atmosphere was incredible. Everyone in there was so cool and the bartender was fantastic and very helpful. She recommended the Jack Daniels burger so we both went with it. When I tell you we both dreamed about this burger for our entire trip. We ended up going back to this place two more times. It was such a great local place with great people. I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re ever in the area go there and get the Jack Daniels burger. Talk to the locals. Have a pint and enjoy the vibes. 5/5. 10/10. Incredible.“

“Best dive bar and best burgers“

“They have the best social hour!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“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.“

“Delicious food. Great service by Sydney! It started with amazing honey bread at the table. Flatbreads yum, especially the one with fig topping. Muscles, tuna tartare, noodle flush, brussel sprouts, calamari salad, and more! All yum! Would absolutely go there again. We had 8-10 people and the service was excellent.“

“Our first time as we are visiting from out of town. Our server Cesar was so wonderful. Very accommodating and helpful. The food was phenomenal. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and had a charbroiled taste which we loved. We also had the Bavarian pretzels app special which was awesome!!!! Our drinks were also fantastic. This was a great choice for our 10th wedding anniversary. We’re so glad we found it. Highly recommend!!!!!!“

“Had a great dinner! Always great service too!“

“I eat here every week with a big group and the food is always delicious. I like to order the chili nachos, and it's perfect for sharing. They are also very accommodating with allergies and have promptly answered questions about allergy content. The servers are very friendly and it's always very lively. Even outside of my group I like to take friends here. Parking is a bit tricky but it's worth it even if you have to park on the side of the road. Highly recommend!“

“Great food and fun atmosphere!“

“This place has recently been remodeled. It's great for the area. The music is great and the services is excellent. I hosted a wedding reception here. It has beautiful hardwood floors a fair amount of tables. A full bar in and outside of the hall area. Excellent price given for using their facility. Great place for any type of party. Not your ruff child hangout spot. No parking lot but plenty of parking in the area. They have security and the place is well lit.The owner and manager is very kind and helpful.“

“Never had a bad meal here !! Steamed clams and French onion soup are a must !“

“Tankys is the spot! These people in the comments below complaining about it being unsafe just have nothing better to do. Other bars right down the block plays music just as loud and stays open just as late. Besides the one incident last year, there aren’t any brawls or fights that happen there. Most ppl that go there are regulars and know each other. To the ppl complaint about it being loud in open late, you have the power to move to another place you knew where you were moving to when you moved there tankys has been there my whole lifeThe drinks are strong and cheap, the vibe is chill, older crowd, when they have a DJ the music is good, u can bring food in, and they have a lil pool table and a parking lot. I been going to tankys for year and never had a bad experience. Occasionally the bartenders be too busy to get to me and I’ll get tired of waiting and leave but that’s all rare.“

“What a gem of a place! Truly a must visit for a delicious meal, I had a juicy steak cooked to perfection 👌 My waitress Eriana was absolutely amazing, she made great suggestions, was very friendly and attentive. Her service is what will make me go back, thank you so much Dayton steakhouse, look forward to returning!“

“Exceptional customer service and the entrees were superb. Our servers were both excellent, Andres and Vivian and their hunky manager, whose name we did not catch. The drinks were very well made, with nice presentation. My wife, Patricia, had a Coconut Mojito and I had two Lemon Martinis (well blended) refreshing and tasty. Order the Calamari as an appetizer. Our entrees were the salmon and the cheese steak. Everything was prepared with a Columbian flare! Ole! You and a culinary delight.“

“buenísimo full diversion“

“Dante’s has truly transformed the old Alexis Steakhouse space with a modern, refreshing facelift and a fantastic menu to match. It’s the perfect spot for happy hour, a night out with family or friends, or even a business lunch. One of the standout features is their exclusive upstairs party room, which accommodates 75+ guests—ideal for baby showers, bridal showers, or business meetings. The space includes a flat-screen TV for presentations or party highlights, plus its own private bathroom and bar. Convenience is another plus: Dante’s offers plenty of parking and is located near all major highways (Rt. 46, Rt. 3, Parkway, Turnpike, and Rt. 80). The cozy bar area is great for catching a game, and their intimate lounge space comfortably seats up to 10 people with private wait service—perfect for small gatherings. I’ve enjoyed Dante’s for everything from meeting friends and business lunches to happy hours and private lounge get-togethers. The food never disappoints: the prime burger is massive and made with quality prime rib, the tuna tartare is fresh and loaded with avocado, and their homemade chips are addictive. The clams casino are packed with flavor, the steak sandwich features premium cuts, and the pear salad with grilled chicken is a delicious option if you’re looking for something lighter. Check it out—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Stopped be for a preflight bite and a mimosa. Both breakfasts were delicious. Coffee was great. Prosecco is n top. Rosemary was behind the bar, so friendly.“

“Walked in this weekend for the first time and the female bartender was super friendly and helpful! We just wanted to stop in for a quick app and a beer. We ordered the fries and 2 rounds of beers and the check was super reasonable. We will definitely be back when it is nicer out to sit outside. They have a variety of things on the menu, a pool table, shuffleboard table and electronic darts.“

“Creative food, friendly staff, always delicious.“

“It can be a little on the hood side but I love the place. For a small bar, it can get packed certain nights. I always have a great time whether if I go in there with friends or by myself! All bartenders are nice and know how to serve! Much love“

“My favorite spot on a Wednesday! Love Judy she be on those drink orders lol food is really good, ambiance is nice and bathrooms are always clean.
Def. a Must visit on anynight such a great vibe. Dj be Dj'n huntty lol Shout out to Mercedez and Mink!“

“Great place to eat, and to watch the sporting games!“

“There's good bartender service. Nice vibe, nice music. The cost of drinks is fair. They're fed. This place appeals to me. Everyone is checked for your safety, including the security personnel, front and back bars, Djs on deck, sports on TV, and ATH. There are hookers on deck and a pleasant vibe.“

“Black Jack's is an awesome local sports bar / restaurant. There are many TVs with all the sports entertainment you could possibly ask for. The food is great and so is the service. I particularly like that they have live bands on the weekend.“

“The last time there was over 5years ago. Comfortable setting, clean and pleasant staff.“

“Babyyyyyyyyy Chrisean is the only bartender I need in my life ok! All I said was “give me something with tequila in it” & he sure did! I started feeling loose halfway through my FIRST drink. Good music, calm vibes, strong drinks & GREAT food (Denim’s cafe).“

“Fun time local bar nice people great bartenders“

“My favorite bar in West Orange, NJ! Super friendly management, reasonable prices, casual atmosphere and great music! A place where stories begin...“

“super small place oy about 6 tables plus a few bar seats. food is super expensive but we had Erin as our server and she was absolutely wonderful. can't say enough nice things about her. super friendly and very attentive to our needs. she made it a wonderful experience. food was not great, a little bit greasy and very overpriced. there's literally about 4 choices on the entire menu. Reuben sandwich with fries ($15) chicken tenders with fries($13) bowl of mac and cheese ($12) chicken wings (6 for $8) we weren't going to eat here but it is inside the hotel and we didn't want to drive anymore after a long road trip to get to the hotel. if it wasn't for Erin's awesome service then we would have walked out.“

“We had our daughters 18th Birthday Bash here at the Appian Way on: February 5th, 2022. We dealt with Bob throughout the whole process. And he was just great! Alot is included in the price you receive. And many other venues don't compare when it comes to price. Helping to save you some money along the way. The rooms are beautiful and my guest were amazed. The workers were accommodating and helped get our room together way before time. This helped us tremendously with getting most of the setup being done the night before. The lighting is awesome. The food was absolutely delicious. My guests are still raving about the food. It really was better than I expected. I will definitely be back to celebrate more gatherings. Thank you Bob and your staff for your get service.“

“This is one of the best airport restaurants I've experienced. The prices are reasonable, especially at an airport, The food and drinks are varied and excellent. Service is very good as well. It's best to enjoy in a leisurely easy if you have plenty of time before your flight boards.“

“I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Newark Airport hotel in Elizabeth NJ 08-09JAN2026 for a business trip. I was a little concerned that there were no other nearby restaurants to the hotel, so I decided to try the TKP Bar & Grill within the hotel. The restaurant was small and had limited food options. However, Willie the bartender was very nice and my Caesar salad with salmon was very good. The salmon was crispy on the outside and tender inside, so I was pleasantly surprised at my great meal inside the hotel. Thanks Willie and the kitchen staff for a nice evening!“

“Wow, am I impressed. I would not normally eat in the hotel lobby restaurant.

So glad I did to tonight. I had the happy hour salad, meatballs and penne Ala vodka. In order of greatness, salad, pasta meatballs. Salad maybe one of the best, A+... pasta the same. Meatballs amazing, very nice. Karem at the bar was attentive and a pleasure. And she made some amazing drinks. I'll be back. Congratulations.“

“Been a long time since I had a beer with the Dillon boys and my Valley friends!“

“The place was chilled and I, the bartenders were polite and everything and they was on point. But the I'll go over there is kind of expensive because I wanted one thing and then I had to do a maximum charge of $20. I wanted to buy 3 Coronavirus. One shot at tequila which I didn't really want. I just wanted one beer and just be about my way. But I had to spend like $20 in order to like enjoy myself. Which I didn't really want to do that. So I sat there for a solo couple of familiar faces that I was talking to on the internet and then I kind of got uncomfortable and I just left in debt but over all the atmosphere was dope. The music was great and that's all I can say.“

“Excelente servicio y música 👌“

“Great restaurant - food is great, service is attentive. Restaurant policy not to allow you to have bread before you order is not good for people who need food with their drink. Manager (blond woman) was disappointing in her lack of understanding and customer service -very poor.. It is sad we must find another favorite restaurant because we loved it there.“
