Then the food came out and I was blown away. For the price you pay, I think the quality is phenomenal! I had the Hippie Avo Toast, the staff member suggested adding an egg and it really hit the spot.

She made one of the best cocktails ever, a Summer something--I cannot remember the name--I enjoyed it a lot. Our food was great, we got fries, chicken sandwich, and onion rings. Quite tasty! I would definitely recommend this place, go say hi to the bartender/host!“

“Very clean restaurant, Food Delicious, Waitress Lee courteous, polite, so nice a pleasure to talk to. Will definetely go back.“

“I have been meaning to go there for a while and opportunity presented itself yesterday. The friend I went with had gone there earlier in the Summer and advised the food was good. I was not disappointed. Service was excellent and those of you who read my reviews know that is a top priority for me. The food was excellent. I ordered chicken and waffles, you have a choice of chicken tenders or wings. I opted for the wings. My friend ordered a combo plate that had eggs, home fries, bacon and French toast. The food looked good on the plate and tasted just as good. It wasn't too crowded but I have been told if you go on the weekend there will be a wait.“

“Great staff, drinks, food and atmosphere too!“

“Many many vegan options! I got a chick’n fat cat sandwich and an avocado salad. The salad was fresh and the avocado was perfect. The sandwich was huge and had great flavor. I was only able to eat half of that meal and ate the second half for dinner. I’ve also had their vegan meatball pizza and it was delicious! Would highly recommend.“

“Nice Irish theme sports bar“

“The property was outstanding for the location in a very ritzy area. The food was great. Ordered the special for 2 with two glasses of wine, an appetizer ?, and a main course dish that was shared for two. The waiter was a little anxious to rush the order in before 9 PM. Great service and the price was pretty high, but overall experience was great! Definitely will come back again!“

“Just had came here for a solo date night , had a margarita and Long Island iced tea with calamari as a appetizer highly recommend coming here for food“

“Great amazing food and drinks“

“Food portions are inconsistent, the food is good but they have issues with the consistency. I don’t like to complain because I feel like this is one of the better fast food places around, but that is my only criticism. I also had done food orders pick up and they weren’t able to manage the order process. They seem over worked and overwhelmed. I was standing there waiting patiently for my to go order once and they said they marked it as completed but I never got it. Maybe someone stole the food but I’m sure it was just a mistake. The hot honey chicken is great and the side dishes are great too. The closest thing to a home cooked meal on the go!

Parking: It’s in a busy mall lot so it can be challenging to find a close spot during peak times.“

“They make good burgers and fries. If you like fish, they have some varieties here too.“

“Amazing service been going there for as long as I can remember“

“Always good food. Huge outdoor seating area. Servers are awesome. Highly recommend.“

“We came at 6 p.m. ,put our name in and were told we had a 20 min. wait. After 20 min. I went to check and was told then that there were reservations ahead of us that had to be seated. If we had been told this we wouldn't have waited. We found this very rude and unprofessional and we will not be choosing sara janes again.“

“I’ve been here many times and have never had a bad meal or experience.
My favorite is eating outside but inside is just as good.
Staff is attentive and fast. The food is constantly good and the cocktails are always on point.
Very happy to have this place locally.“

“Coffee ?

I would give it a thousand points for the coffee uufff!!!! The atmosphere is cozy small, but nice they have remodeled a lot when you enter you have different photos of how advanced the place is.
The hot dog ? is great but
The last time I ordered chicken wings and it wasn't as I expected ?
I hope next time they improve on some dishes“

“This place is amazing every time! Don’t miss having a Negroni. The seafood is great & the alligator sausage over sweet cornbread is excellent. The manager, Alejandro -,along with the entire staff know what they’re doing. Go treat yourself!“

“Coming here for years. Some food items have gone down in quality, namely the pork chop and mac and cheese. Pork chop used to be really cooked to perfection and moist, however lately it has been dried out and overcooked. Mac and cheese lost the amount of cheese it usually has on it, and noodles were undercooked the previous two times. Must have changed the cooks in kitchen, who knows.“

“Stopped in by accident and discovered a goldmine. Driving home to Connecticut, I exited 287 to take a break from rush hour. Nothing like a Buffalo pizza to calm the nerves. I was greeted by a friendly host. I requested a seat at a high top in the bar area , so I could people watch and glance at the game on one of the many tvs. I had a great server , his name was Todd. He explained the menu and walked me through the various pizza selections. He not only knew the menu , he was excited discussing the food. I ordered a Buffalo Pie, it was unbelievable. I wish I saved room for dessert , because the choices seemed so delicious. Next time I’m going through town I will definitely come back“

“Delicious foods great service! Chef Louie cook the best meals ever! I highly recommend this place!!“

“We were there today with 3 adults and 7 kids ages 3-9. The staff is always wonderful but they were especially patient and sweet today. We love coming here on the train for lunch!!“

“One of the best Burgers I have ever had in my life. I love their smash beef Burgers especially SmashMelt with Double Beef Patties. It is my go to order and one of my top comfort foods.

Their Vanilla Milkshake is also really good. Mozarella sticks are just average.“

“I had a great experience today at gabriels! I had allison as my server and she was phenomenal. She was very attentive and made sure me and my friend were well taken care of. If you visit in the future be sure to ask for allison!
Also the food was amazing! I had the penne vodka and it was very very good. It was a great portion size and very worth the money. There was also great music. I would recommend everyone to visit!“

“This is a Plainfield institution The Red Tower is a great Plainfield a spot to get a shirt quick meal done with perfection. Some of the items are pricey but they're well within your price range if you want good service and great atmosphere.

Parking: The parking is on the street in front of the restaurant and if it's busy it's hard to park there so you have to park across the street in the competing business but it's good..“

“I performed there for my first time tonight and the place was very cool. The patrons were a nice mix, and very responsive to my songs selection. John Lepre LIVE #supportlivemusicvenues“

“As a local DJ entertainer, the Landing has become a venue in which we perform quite regularly. The staff is always welcoming, professional, and accommodating and truly understands the catering business and what it takes to throw an exceptional celebration. It's always a pleasure to work alongside and partner with them for our shared client events. The food is excellent and prices are reasonable.“

“Best seafood soup .so far I've ever tasted“

“I have been craving a Chicago dog since I left the windy city in 2014. Hubby brought me one of yours and oh my. Y'all nailed it and even though the bun isn't poppy seed, the bun you use is incredibly good! He also brought a banh mi dog and now I am craving one of each daily!“

“After an extensive milkshake search, I have found the best milkshakes for the best price!

Service is incredibly quick & I don't have to take out a second mortgage to get a sweet treat!

The only criticism I have is their straws.... They are slurpee straws (with the little scoop on the end) but they aren't fat enough to drink a milkshake through, especially if you have cookies in it!“

“It seemed like the restaurant was closed but my friends and I was able to order some drinks at the bar, then we moved to a table for dinner. Our server Dominic was very attentive and helpful. Chicken tasted a little too dry, but all the other food we ordered was amazing; especially brisket! It was so tender and tasty. Two of the desserts we ordered with a cup of cappuccino were phenomenal. We were so full after finishing the bbq combo plate, but sure did finish both of the desserts ? I'm glad this place is open for the public. Will definitely comeback ??‍♀️“
