“First time stopping in. The food was great. And the price was very reasonable. The place has great atmosphere, clean & so much to choose from. Staff was super friendly. Especially Brooks, who went above & beyond helping us try decide what to order. I'm not kidding when I say everything looked so good. He kindly gave different suggestions. He took time to explain different options, what they were and how they were made. Any questions or requests we had were met with nothing but kind responses. Will definitely be back!“

“We made a reservation for 14 people here to celebrate our engagement with family and the experience was incredible!

I reached out to the restaurant in advance to make the reservation and the staff was incredibly helpful answering questions and making sure that the reservation was correct. I then was able to follow up and pre-order appetizers for our group and the staff at Agricola made great recommendations that everyone loved.

Our dining experience was incredible and with amazing service from Marco everyone was thoroughly impressed! The food and drinks were phenomenal which added to the experience!

Additionally Agricola made the night very special writing a card for my Fiancée and I and presenting us with a congratulatory dessert!! I would highly recommend Agricola to anyone and especially for special occasions or celebrations!!“

“One of our favorite local spots. Perfect for outdoor dining during nice summer weather. Their menu has a lot to pick from and everything we’ve gotten has been delicious. Highly recommended.“

“Too bad I live out of state because this is my FAVORITE restaurant in NJ. Wonderful staff and food. Not as noisy as other places because of the decor/layout. The prices seem a little high but when you can't even finish your food - that's a good deal. The menu is phenomenal. If you can't find something to eat here then you are insane.“

“What a great and welcoming place Tom & Dor have been getting the formula right coming from decades at Stirling Hotel! Great place, great environment, great food!“

“Thank you for a glorious Monday night dinner! Service, food and drink were amazing! Really appreciated the welcome and greeting from the Chef. Absolutely love Rails and the outstanding menu and welcoming staff. Will be back! Love the Summer Specials!“

“What a place with an old time feel! They are on their game, we ordered on the road 10 minutes out and when we showed up our food was waiting for us. After looking around the building, they have a great condiments bar for all your needs! All the employees were working to get people their food and everything from the kitchen that was on the shelf for customers looked awesome! We got cheese burger clubs and some dogs, which were awesome! Bathrooms and everything was very clean and these guys definitely pay attention to detail on everything! In conclusion, all the food we had was great and these guys will see a surge in patronage as word of mouth goes along way. We just stopped in for a quick lunch on coming home from the beach, and the place continued to fill up as we were there! Johnny, Christos, and company are doing a great job and we will be back very often, because their food and menu options are that good! As I am writing, my wife continues to tell me about the food choices available from the Lantern, which is making me hungry as I write this! You boys have a great thing going and keep it up as we will be continuous customers moving forward!

Sincerely,
AJ Gorman (New regular customer)“

“Definitely Lakeside dining at its finest! 🌊✨ From crispy, made-in-house buffalo wings to savory empanadas, the diverse menu is packed with fresh flavors you’ll love. I chose to indulge in the surf & turf skirt steak with garlic butter shrimp, and I ordered a light refreshing salmon, berry, and goat cheese salad. Paired my meal with a fresh OJ, creamy matcha latte with oat milk, vibrant hibiscus Paloma with a Tajín rim. Savor the lakeside vibes at Indian Lake Bistro—where nothing’s frozen, and everything’s delicious!“

“The Second Half on Main is such a great spot! The owners are absolutely amazing—so friendly and welcoming. The service is always fantastic, the food is delicious, and the whole place just has such a fun and cozy vibe. It’s the kind of place you can go with family or friends and always feel right at home. We love it here and can’t wait to come back!“

“I went there for Amazon return. It’s just right next to #1 cashier, and the return process was quick and easy no label or box needed. Whole Foods market was huge and nice selection of produce and products available and convenient to go another shopping place like Loft and Talbot. Only concern was Google map guided me to middle of hwy 46 not the exact store. Be careful!“

I live in Verona and still willing to drive 30 minutes for a Reese’s Pieces sundae. SO THANKFUL the Morristown Friendly’s is still thriving. I’d be inconsolable if this shop ever closed! Butter crunch ice cream is my addiction.“
