“The food and drinks and atmosphere was great especially drinking the sazerac cocktail it was good“

“Always an amazing experience. I live in JC and I don’t mind driving 38minutes down to NB just so that I can be here. Keep up the good work.👍“

“I have been here a total of 3 times in the last month & they have messed up my order every time… either the wrong order completely or missing items… add that to the usual lunch hour wait & yes… they need to improve the customer experience..“

“Yesterday, I visited this wonderful place. I first stopped by Kaizr, where Angie, a staff member, recommended it and mentioned that her friend Salma works at Buns. I just had to give it a try as well. Salma was incredibly friendly and recommended the Biscoff shake, which was absolutely delicious, along with the Hot Honey Chicken Fries, which were equally amazing.“

“I had "Le Magnifique". it was amazing. if you like Poutine (all you Canadians out there) you will love this. this particular dog is actually duck sausage. They have a vast array of dogs to choose from. The Spain inspired Chorizo "Conquistadog" looks like another awesome choice. (I need to try it!) I love the names they all have. Really witty, and all look so tasty.“

“I’m vegetarian and for some weird reason on Uber eats there is no option to switch patties. I called the restaurant. I talked to the guy named Adarsh. He insured my order, doesn’t get any beef patties and on the special request hey switch the patty to beyond patty. I usually do this when I go to this restaurant in person and this is the only place where I eat burgers because they’re exceptionally good. Also, their aloo tiki burger is outstanding. Whoever owns this restaurant Please, please please never change the thing about this place. You got great customer service, awesome food, and very hard-working people. I always proudly tip every single time I go to this restaurant. Today the employee, name Adarsh made my day. Thanks a lot!“

“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 ??‍♀️“

“I’ve been coming to Deltas for abt 4 years. The food is great and reasonably priced. However, I immediately sensed a different vibe in the atmosphere. Not bad…just different.“

“Hansel’s food is exactly food, whatever. However, 5 STARS for the extremely helpful, efficient, accommodating, courteous, professional, hairy, new delivery driver. He’s really cool. If he has a girlfriend, I’m sure he makes her very happy, he seems like a great guy. 10/10 service.“

“Just had my Aunt’s 80th birthday celebration at SLS and the experience could not have been better. From the planning with Judy to the day of party execution with Jane. Even the owner Mark stopped by to check in. The room was warm, the service was impeccable and the food was excellent for all 40 guests - which is no small feat. We highly recommend Stage Left and their sister restaurant Lombardi’s. A great place to make some life long memories.“

“My favorite meal at Stuff Yer Face is the Turkey Club Boli with a side order of chicken tenders with their homemade honey mustard. Yum!“

“Super Hot wings.. Try Super dull. Good thing I had hot mustered packs left over from YUMMY YUMMy to salvage it. :(“

“Consistently good place to eat in New Brunswick without breaking the bank. Drinks are good. They offer tasty gluten free options. Outdoor seating and live music in the summer months. Best to confirm reservation via phone. We'll be back.“

“Great place to grab a bite before or after a show. One of the best Reubens I’ve had in a long time. First (and last) ‘Gold Fashioned’. Connoisseurs might approve but it just wasn’t for me. Great napkins.“

“We had such a good waiter, bartender ( Tom) the place was quiet and the food was outstanding. from chicken dumplings to miso tofu soup, noodles chicken dishes. and a wonderful dessert Mochi tempura! great service, very good food! We will be returning ♡♡♡“

“Seriously the most underrated spot around and so glad I stumbled upon it initially on Doordash after wanting a fruit smoothie (got the classic). Loved it so decided to go in person and was really happy with the friendliness and immediate service. Ended up ordering the steak and onions with their peanut butter blast smoothie and it was so good. This’ll be my little spot from now on!“

“Great atmosphere and great food! Beautiful girls and great music!“

“This restaurant was worth the wait! Pros- the Sticky Asian Ribs were amazing ab do also enjoyed the Seared Ahi Tuna. The server was pleasant and the ambiance was nice. Cons- the Boom Boom Shrimp batter was too heavy for my liking and I didn’t like the flavor. There’s no parking lot dedicated to the patrons so you have to lay a meter and mine didn’t work.“

“My first time going was today for the start of restaurant week to celebrate a friends birthday. Although there was only one woman working the bar and trying to take care of tables alone (she was very pleasant and was doing her best) I still enjoyed my time there. I must say the special three course meal was outstanding for restaurant week. The roasted pear and arugula flatbread was outstanding and should be added to the regular menu. The entree was great and the crème brûlée dessert was exceptional. Chef Shannon came out to talk to us as we were the first customers for restaurant week to try the special menu items. He created the dishes and we let him know everything was delicious. My only complaint was they needed more staff on hand to be able to keep up with the amount of patrons.Someone finally came to assist the young lady who was working alone but she could have used two additional people when they opened. will prolly b bck again before the week is over for the special before it’s off the menu.“

“We arrived mid-afternoon on a weekday l was greeted immediately by the hostess and promptly by our waitress who was attentive and friendly without being overwhelming. Good beer selections (tap and bottle). I had a roasted chicken risotto which was very good. My wife was very happy with her linguine We shared a slice of one of their 3 chocolate cakes-yummy.“

“I love ordering here because the food is very tasty!! It is best to go before noon. Our order was fresh and made to perfection! All of the workers are very friendly and welcoming. You can always find out the prices of the items before you order. I always order multiple lunch platters for my family and it is very filling. I will absolutely order here again!!“
