My guests are still talking about the service and the food. Highly recommend. Make sure you click on the website to see the current location on the gold course...nice view.“

“I have been coming to Munno’s for over 22 years. I have never had better penne vodka and I travel extensively gobbling up food in different states and in Europe. The staff is always friendly and willing to take an order for a tray of penne vodka to be ready for us the same day. My family is now obsessed with Munno’s as well!“

“We had an amazing experience at White Maple Café. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was exceptional and made us feel truly welcome. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations.

We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal and genuine hospitality. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Such a nice ambiance in the bar area. Got the Chicken Taco's which was very good & Cosmo was also very good. My husband got a burger which he enjoyed. Service was pretty good too! Will come back!“

“Today my dad and I had Easter Brunch at the Glen Rock Inn. It was amazing! There was a great selection of food. It was fresh, delicious and being replenished often. I have been to many buffets that sort of seem picked over as the day goes on. Not here! We had the last seating and everything was plentiful and fresh. The dining rooms were festive with pastel napkins and flowers. It was also not noisy at all even though every table was full. The staff was very attentive and we were not rushed at all. This experience really made our holiday. We will definitely be back.“

“Curley's Corner is the BEST RESTAURANT with all homemade food and ingredients. Their Irish fare is the best in all of NY & North Jersey. The staff is always on top of your needs & very friendly. The pricing on all their menu items has always been very affordable. I give them a 10.“

“I haven’t been to The Barn since my kids were young, but we visited Abma’s farm today for the hayride with my daughter and granddaughter and stopped at The Barn for dinner after. What a delight! The staff were so welcoming and child-friendly. I have never been anywhere as child-friendly in Bergen County. Their outside seating area is perfect for families with young children in tow. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.“

“We just ate there for the first time at the Warren location. We were surprised how busy they were on a Sunday since they are near an office complex. I had a burger, onion rings and a chocolate milk shake. All 3 were delicious. My husband had the hot pastrami and French fries. Both were excellent. We highly recommend.“

“Great chicken slices and fair prices 👌“

“Our family loves the food & staff!! Cant wait to get back to Sunday breakfasts there!😊“

“We have been shopping here as our main grocery store pretty much since it opened. While it is a smaller Whole Foods, it tends to have a good stock of a good variety of items, both fresh and packaged. It is generally clean (with one exception, see below) and most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is an Amazon Locker here, so you can get your Amazon packages delivered to this locker, do your shopping, and then pick up your package all in one trip. There are a two issues I very much wish they would fix. For one thing, the restrooms are consistently not clean. This is a suburban store and doesn't get the volume of customers that an NYC store gets, but they don't seem to be able to keep the restrooms in good order. My other issue has to do with what they choose to stock in a couple of categories. The first is orange juice. I always look for organic orange juice not in a clear container (so as not to compromise Vitamin C). I just want organic orange juice in an opaque container the way it comes -- not pulp-free, not extra-pulp, not with Vitamin D added, etc. They never stock this. My other stocking issue has to do with ice cream. They have all kinds of interesting flavors, several kinds of dairy-free options, etc. but I just want a pint of premium, organic vanilla ice cream, straight up. This can sometimes be found but often they don't have it on the shelf even though they carry all kinds of great brands that would offer it. If only this store remedied these two issues, they'd be five stars for sure!“

“The food is very good. I love the appetizers and the Greek salad! When there’s music, the bands are great. The staff is very friendly and helpful.“

“Excellent family restaurant and sports bar. One of our go-to spots to bring the kids for a great meal at a great price.“

“Had a great experience at Cafe 37 in Ridgewood! The kale salad was honestly the best I’ve ever had resh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was outstanding as well; the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Great food and excellent hospitality. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“My husband and I frequent the hotel for events, but it was our first time dining. We had a 5pm reservation, so it was quiet and empty. The food was a bit pricey, but generous portions and delicious. I had the chicken pot pie and my husband had the most tender short ribs of his life. We will likely be back in the future, and look forward to an elegant way to enhance our future events!“

“Had dinner here this weekend for a nice night out. Food was beyond amazing! The staff was very knowledgeable about their dishes and specials. We ended up with Tuna Tartar, Stuffed Figs wrapped in bacon with salad, and Asparagus with roasted red pepper puree topped with prosciutto for an appetizer. I had a veal chop that was out of this world, my fiancée had seared duck breast, and we finished it off with a slice of delicious carrot cake and decaf cappuccinos. Everything was absolutely incredible, couldn't recommend it more for a nice night out!“

“Had lunch yesterday, absolutely delicious! Our waitress, Raven explained daily lunch 2-course specials and drink discount. This sweetened the deal. I’m telling everyone I know about Shannon Rose. Definitely coming back every chance I get!“

“Wonderful food and amazing hometown warmth!“

“The pierogi appetizer was 10/10 delicious! Great location! And our server was Sonya and she was helpful, happy and attentive ! So many desert options as well!! The mint chocolate is what we went for and again 10/10!! My cousin and I will be back!“

“the steak sandwich. i came from the pocono’s. i go every time im down“

“The steaks were above average and enjoyable, though they did not quite reach the level of being truly exceptional. The biggest disappointment was the coleslaw, which was honestly the worst I’ve ever had. It was essentially just chopped cabbage with no noticeable dressing, seasoning, or flavor to bring it together. It felt unfinished and added very little to the meal. Fortunately, the steaks were solid enough to make the dining experience worthwhile, but I would definitely skip the coleslaw if I returned.“

“It was amazing my friend chef Adam out did himself as always delicious and decadent all in one!! Proud of you Adam!“

“CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!! MY WIFE AND I CELEBRATED MY 30TH BIRTHDAY HERE AND WE VERY MUCH ENJOYED!! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND“

“Was here recently and had a wonderful experience! Jessica, our bartender, recommended a delicious margarita flatbread “pepped up” and it did not disappoint! She also convinced me to try the Pumpking beer for dessert and that was a delicious surprise! We will definitely be back on Mondays and/or Fridays to see Jessica and try more of her recommendations! She made us feel so welcomed and the service was top tier!“

“Food is fresh and presented wonderfully. A little on the high priced side. The price matches the ambiance though. You have to plan to spend when you go but will enjoy the experience completely.“

“Best bagels ive ever had: better than anything in nyc and better than anything else in jersey. Everyone in there hustles and works hard. I kept seeing the team asking for a guy named Byron and he was super on top of everything. That guy is an MVP. Whoever takes the orders on the phone is also a star: always gets the orders right- every detail (and thats hard to come by).

Now i will say, a large part of what i do for a living is making the customer service experience at restaurants better and more efficient. Most restaurant operators will not take advice unsolicited but i wanted to give mine anyway in hopes of maybe one day they will consider some changes:

A lot of times when i come here i see frustrated customers waiting on lines. Lot of old men cutting the lines. Nobody knows where to stand and sometimes multiple lines form. The people waiting to place an order are also in the same line as people waiting to pick up their order. So, i would do a number of things to improve their systems:
1. I would promote ordering ahead for pickup on their website. There are so many great companies they can use which can set up an awesome website for them : my favorite is Figure or Toast.
2. I would modernize everything by having the tickets from their website come in via printers and everything typed out. Would control where the tickets went and set up multiple printers.
3. Would ahve order screens so kitchen staff can see the orders, in the order they come in (with time stamps) and mark them off as they go.
4. I would have a screen so customers can see which orders are “in progress” and which are “finished”. That way orders that are ready, customers can go up to their counter and mention their name. This system also works well if you have delivery drivers in your face a lot.

5. I would have 2 lines set up, divided with standing signs “order here” line and a “pick up “ line.

6.I would also have a worker whose only job would be: manning the register, cleaning up, attending to the lines. I see a lot of the FOh going to the back to get things and add things and that element is not typical in an efficient restaurant system. There should be an expediter who passed things to FOH so they dont have to go to the back and get in people’s way.

I would do more but i know that even a few of these changes would enhance the customer ordering and pickup experience and if done right it could potentially make the workers lives easier once they get used to the new systems.

I know they probably wont do any of this because they are busy and people love them and will put up with the status quo. But i will say one observation: i noticed most customers are of a certain age. Younger generations like and expect efficient ordering processes and dont like to talk to people: they like kiosk ordering and online ordering a lot.

The restaurants i operate do about 90% of their orders on online platforms. Its becoming the norm and i know many customers would appreciate a simpler way to order ahead, and get to go on that shorter “pick up” line.

Just a thought.

But hey, at the end of the day even if Bagel Nosh become more inefficient i would still come back because they truly have the best Bagels and their team hustles, and always gets everything perfect. I applaud the owners for being able to maintain such a strong team and the work culture there is impeccable- nobody is slacking off.

Wishing Bagel Nosh and Team only the best. Best of Bergen every year for a reason!“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“We've eaten there many times. The food is good with large portions and at very reasonable prices. Mohammad the waiter, aka Mo, is exceptionally friendly, attentive, professional and accommodating. His service is fantastic and always with a smile. We've had other waitresses serve us that were not so friendly and their service was very disappointing so we try to go when we know Mo is working. I highly recommend eating there and hopefully you'll get Mo to serve you. It just makes your meal more enjoyable.“

“Great burger and fries great server definitely coming back with the girls“

“I was so excited to see that the Village Green was opening for lunch in January. I knew just where to take my special friend Janet for an important birthday! What a treat! Delicious, beautifully presented food with a novel twist! The service was absolutely superb. Definitely go there for lunch!“

“Absolutely amazing. Julia was our waitress and she was very attentive but not overbearing like others can be. She knew when to come and check on us and when we just wanted to be. Food was as always, delicious.“

“From start to finish we had an amazing meal. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious and imaginative. Beautiful ambiance too.We have had a perfect dinner every time we have been here and can't wait to come back!“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

“We are visiting from Colorado and staying in Greenwood lake area. We tried the burgers first number 12 and number 14 in both were amazing the next day we got the burgers again for lunch and then try the jerk chicken beans and rice in the sweet plantains dish and all were excellent. I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some good food and a great price“
