“We've made a tradition of enjoying Valentine's Day here at the White House in Edison for years now.... this year was no exception and we had a wonderful experience surrounded by others enjoying the same fun that has brought us back time after time. I love that it's BYOB and we usually bring wine one year. I mixed dirty martinis at our table and this year we had margaritas. “

“They catered a back yard bbq I was at and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!“

“I work there service with attitude“

I drive all the way from Staten Island to enjoy a meal. I love the Raitan Clark location. They have good customer service and always warm and welcoming. I was greeted by Grace who helped me complete my order.“

“Love their burgers and Oreo shakes but 2 kid meals w Oreo shakes for both of them, a bacon cheeseburger and soda for me...total was abt $31 — YIKES!!! That’s why I go abt 2-3 times a year“

“excellent place recommended excellent service and very friend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Nice spot with great vintage atmosphere and good burgers and shakes.“

“Being allergic to gluten makes dining out extremely challenging. I can finally eat a friend chicken sandwich again and it’s an amazing feeling! Not only that, but the gluten free bun and breeding are amazing! Thanks so much for giving a darn about a forgotten part of the population.“

“Your not hear for customer service or atmosphere. You're here for a good burger!!!

If that's the case, you will leave very content. Just remember you can basically get anything you can think of. Any topping, any combination from their menu is possible. You name it they'll build it.

All the milk shakes are excellent. Oreo and Vanilla milkshakes specifically are chefs 😘.“

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

“Was impressed with the decor, service and food. The BBQ burger was cooked perfectly! Made with fresh meat (not frozen formed patty) - not sure whst the English would be but I know it in Yiddish as “hockfleish.” The BBQ sauce added to the taste of the meat without being overpowering and the onion, pickle, lettuce and the challah bun were all extremely fresh. Looking forward to coming back snd trying the other choices!“

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

“Fanrtastic family owned business. No frozen veggies. They make everything!! I tried the Kaati Roll (Panner Bhurhi) and the Veggie burger. It was great and I will go back again and again and again!!

Pure Veg; option to customize; all home made and family owned. Staff was very friendly and the ordered food arrived much faster.

Definitely going back to try the other menu items. Thank you for the hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed the food.“

“Happy with my burger.“

“First time back since 1973! Even better than I remember it. California cheese burger, fries and a soda. Served up in about 3 or 4 minutes, hot and fresh. I will not wait another 50 years to go back! LOL“

“Oh, this is one of my most favorite places for a cheeseburger. To be honest, the don't look like much, but they taste so amazing. The French fries are also really good - I like to get them well done so they are crispy.

There is a Barnes and Nobel across the street. Behind White Diamond is Tarantella's, which always gets great reviews, so come and make a day of it!

Parking: Limited number of spots, bit usually enough.

Kid-friendliness: Only a few booths, but usually enough. Very kid-friendly food.“

“Hood food and a great staff! Located in what is about to become a very impressive town village

Kid-friendliness: More than welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: They have an ADA Compliant sidewalk and entrance“

“This place is a true gem, with a great vibe. Authentic cuisine and great drinks. The food was delicious, our server Kimani was great! Music was tasteful and not too loud. Decor was modern tropical. Highly recommended if you are in to Afro Carribean cuisine or you want to try something different.“

“I have been going to Urban Burger since 2020 and it has never disappointed. I have gotten food in the restaurant and ordered to pick up. I get the BYO chicken burger and the chicken has most delicious seasoning on it that I have ever had. Add a fried egg and a tomato on top and you have a delicious sandwich. I also have been ordering the buffalo wings and the sweet thai chili wings and they are a 10/10. My only suggestion is for them to make an in house ranch instead of using a store brand tasing version. Do yourself a favor and visit here!“

“1st time trying Freddy's since it opened in the area. A little hesitant at first because I was afraid it was going to be Shake Shack expensive since they are right across the street, but was pleasantly surprised to find the prices way more reasonable. Thank McDonald's value meal prices, but much better burgers. Kids had tenders which they loved with the thin shoe string fries. Wife and I had the California style double combo and was a great burger. Definitely worth the cost. Wife also had the tots which she said were even better than Sonic tots and I had to agree. Kids also had the Oreo double trouble custard/shake and said it was delicious. Definitely be back for more.“

“Shake Shack is one of the best fast food chain restaurants there is. From the excelllent options, Smokehouse burger is a favorite, along with chicken bites. My husband had a birthday last month, and he missed the free shake promo. Theresa, the manager, was very accommodating and presented John with a ‘free shake’. That was stellar! It’s a great shake!“

“The food is really good it’s a bit pricey but it’s worth it. I love how they make the food with love and care. The employees are kind, caring and loving. They take care of everyone as if it’s their own kids. Also I love how they have vegan options too they don’t discriminate. Helpful tip they should make halal chicken and Lower the prices for college students“

“wow..Great pleasure to spend time here..I strongly recommend this place..Food was very delicious..atmosphere was phenomenal...Home like taste with generous serving...“

“Placed a takeout order 2 weeks ago. Never got one of the items in the order. It was a big order for a group. I called asking if I would be able to get a refund for a missing item. It was a drive to get there so a hassle to go back. Person I spoke to over the phone said sure, I’ll receive the refund in 3-4 business days. It has since been 2 weeks, I have not received a refund for the item they forgot to pack. I reached out again, and they said they’ll just reach out to a service team. Didn’t take my order number or anything. I just gave them the date I placed my order. Will update my review as to how this issue progresses.

Edit: I reached out to them for the third time after receiving a comment from this review and they have offered me a full refund.“

“I really love the food and the way they care for customers . You definitely can tell that they are passionate about their food. Would definitely go back for more !!“

“Edited (typo on price in original) and adjusting now that I've had time to think objectively...

I’ve always loved this place and supported since it opened. I’m a little disappointed with an order for my family- 1 classic heavyweight and 2 classic lightweights. They seemed to have shrunk the lightweight, to half the size of the heavyweight (used to seem more like a 10” for LW vs 12” for HW)… I could be wrong as I usually get the Heavyweight for myself, but others mentioned it seemed smaller.

Regardless, the bigger issue to me is the lightweight is $9 on the menu and heavyweight is $16 (I incorrectly put $14 in original post), while the lightweights we received are barely smaller than half of the heavyweight. The HW is on top and LW on bottom in the picture I attached. Since the lightweight is half the size, then people shouldn’t be charged extra and the price should be half. Otherwise, people paying $2 more for two lightweights will feel cheated. Granted it’s only $2, but the price after add-ons and tax is already premium. Bottom line the quality of food here is great, but the point is I could have ordered two heavyweights and paid less. I will be sharing with family/friends to avoid this from happening to them… order heavyweights and share to not be over-charged when ordering lightweights“

“Absolutely great chicken wings are out of this world, moist and the 3 peice chicken was phenomenal smoking hot chicken was made the way chicken is supposed to be made , will not be disappointed!!!! Look at them bones , the DOG wouldn't want them bones !!!!“

“My husband and I came here after a trip to Costco and couldn't be more impressed! The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. The food is fresh, authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced. I had the tostsadas with chicken and my husband the bandeja paisa. Highly recommend!“

“Clean, and updated. Food was great and looked like the pictures on the menu. Management was customer friendly. Cool new uniforms. Great Experience!“

“This place was amazing as soon as you enter your agreed by the owner all the food is fresh and homemade. I recommend getting the cheesesteak sandwich or any pasta with one of his homemade sauces. I highly recommend the rigatoni with Brandy sauce. Amazing. Will definitely be back.“

“The best chili dogs we have found. Accommodating to my husband's crazy ideas and also the best party catering idea ever. Kid wanted hotdogs and chicken fingers for her graduation party and Joe put together the perfect package for us. thanks for everything!“

“Very good service. Had the Turkey burger with fries.“

“The hot dog & hot sausage combo with the works is the best!“

“Thank you for making the BEST cake!! I came in a few hours before graduation and asked to decorate the cake on each side. The woman who decorated the cake did an amazing job!“

“When I was younger my band rented the whole 3rd floor of Canadian furniture across the street from the shack we rehersed 3 times a week and I eat there every time guys were nice we always talked and the burgers were one of a kind 27 years later and I still crave a few cheese burgers and chilli cheese burger and chillie dogs great food great people great place the two brothers new how to treat there coustermers“

“Such a cute place, such a throwback, with excellent friendly service and great food! My burger and chili dog completely hit the spot and washing it down with their trademark rootbeer was such a treat! Can’t wait to come back!“

“Linwood Tap is one of the best spots around if you’re looking for a place to watch the game. The setup is perfect — TVs in every direction, great sight lines no matter where you sit, and a lively atmosphere that still feels comfortable. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in for a whole Football Sunday slate without ever missing a play.

The pizza is great too — crisp, flavorful, and way better than what you’d expect from a typical sports bar. The rest of the menu holds up well, the drinks are reasonably priced, and the staff keeps things moving even when it’s busy.

Whether you’re meeting friends, catching your favorite team, or just looking for a laid-back spot with good food and plenty of TVs, Linwood Tap nails it. Definitely one of the top game-day spots in the area.“

“Perfect for kids, Plus the food is great!!“

“Hotdog was very good, got the original Texas weiner. Place was very busy with only 1 server. She was trying her best but was overwhelmed. Atmosphere was loud and crowded. Well worth the trip for the weiner!!

Parking: Free street parking“

“I’ve been coming here since with my father since I was a kid, this place over the years has gotten so much better, and the service here has always been amazing. The hosts are very kind and make sure we don’t wait too long til we get sat, the sever was great and I believe his name was Carlos. Phenomenal service and made sure our food and drinks came out as soon as possible. Drinks were great, food was delicious and it was cooked to my exact liking. I would definitely come again with friends and come back to Carlos as my server.“
