“Eu curto de mais do pagode a comida e muito boa e esse programa de domingo aqui e muito bom“

“Westayed at the Holiday Inn before our cruise and liked the convenience of an on-site bar/restaurant. We were greeted by the friendly hostess. The restaurant had great modern vibe with good music & decor. The service was on point and our food & drinks were really good! Portions were generous & prices were reasonable especially for an airport near New York. We ordered the calamari to share which was my husband's favorite. Then he ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich and I ordered the Mediterranean salad added falafel & house made blue cheese dressing & they also brought the vinaigrette which I am glad they did as it really made the dish. We enjoyed all of it! Would highly recommend this place!“

“I came here with my family and loved it! The food is sooo good and the portions are great! I had to take it home! The owner is also so nice. Definitely coming back again. My mom who doesn’t like outside food at all lovesss the owners food! Definitely coming back!!✨✨✨“

“We were looking for popular local food places to try (things we don't usually get back home) and I'm glad we chose Taste Buds! I had BBQ Chicken with candied yams and sautéed spinach. My husband had the BBQ chicken mac and cheese bowl. We also tried a little of the BBQ pulled pork fries. IT WAS ALL DELICIOUS! Best soul food we have EVER had. If we were local, we would definitely frequent this place!“

“Varon is one of my favorite employees. Yesterday he made me some guacamole he was sooooooooooooooooo patient with me lol. Thank you Varon for being so great to meeeeeeeeeeeee.....“

“We missed the fact that our airline lounge was prior to security. We had 2 hours to wait and we were hungry. Samelin made our lunch memorable and far better than an airport fast food place should be!! The food was good and tasted even better with the great service.“

“I rented here for one year and I had no issues with my apartment. I felt the price was fair for the fact that it was furnished, with all utilities included, and had a gym that I used often over the year. It is also within walking distance (7-10 minutes) to Newark Penn Station. Parking was not included but I knew this before renting. I paid $250 per month to park in a lot right across the street.

This would be a 5-star review if not for the prolonged process for receiving my security deposit which dragged out over 30 days as others have mentioned. However, Maurice the current manager communicated extremely well and kept following up until it was ultimately returned to me in full.“

“Best airport restaurant I’ve been to in a loooooooooooong long time. Food came out fast and was absolute fire. Service was impeccable. They care here. Also big plus the have full liter bottles of Pellegrino. Get the fatoush salad w/ zatar chicken.“

“Visited the area recently and stopped in here for lunch on a weekday… this “food court” type area in Gateway One had just a few eateries and this was one of them. This and the Fresh & Co next to it seemed to be the most popular at lunch time. You use a kiosk to order, which was quick and the wait for the food wasn’t too long. It came out freshy made and hot.

The fries were crispy and really tasty crinkle cut type fries. The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich I got was excellent! I got medium heat which wasn’t very spicy at all but packed with flavor. The chicken’s fried batter was gentle and very tasty, so I’m sure all their other sandwiches would be just as good.

I’d definitely return to grab more chicken here – Really good food!“

“Great food and a family driven establishment...“

“Leo F. 7/13/2024 Heading to the Janet Jackson concert last week, with a couple of friends and discovered this great spot. Decided to drop in for a drink and a small bite. Great atmosphere and the Service was great as well. My bartender, Sara was welcoming, warm and quite skilled. She made me the best old-fashioned I've had in a long time. Believe me, I've had my share of bad ones. It went well with the pizza. Great vibe in this very chill atmosphere.“

“Delicious food and best service“

“Great place! Delicious food, friendly and accommodating staff and cozy atmosphere! Thanks for being so gracious, Steve! Hope your opening night serving dinner goes well. We’ll be back!“

“My children and I were on a stop over in New Jersey recently, making our way back from a holiday in South Africa, when we needed breakfast as we tried to adjust to the time change. Central Restaurant was a little bit of a drive from our airport hotel (about 5 miles), but they were open at 6:00 am and the online menu showed promise. The restaurant is a neighborhood greasy spoon, with all the cast of characters you would expect of such a place. The owners are Greek transplants, the clientele is mostly the black neighbors who live nearby, a line up of police officers and construction workers waiting for to-go orders, and travelers like us who may or may not know what they are in for. I saw grits on the menu which told me everything I needed to know about this place. They did not disappoint. First thing - to the restroom. If it’s clean you know the kitchen will be in order also. It was tiny, but clean and smelled good. My son ordered the Denver omelet with grits, I ordered fish and grits, and my daughter ordered the French toast breakfast with a side of grits. The grits were on point - creamy with that pat of butter pooling on the top. The French toast was just the right amount of crunchy (on the edges) and tender with a tiny bit more cinnamon for enhanced flavor. The Denver omelet was well cooked with just a bit of browning on top, but a tender and medium soft interior. The fish was unexpected as it had a coating and it was fried. But, the exterior was crunchy with a flaky tender flesh interior. I can’t speak to the rest of the menu, but our orders were all A-plus calibre for a neighborhood greasy spoon. If you like this kind of atmosphere and breakfast food, don’t miss out if you happen to be in town!“

“We stopped in on a whim before heading to Prudential Center, had the most beautiful and tasty drinks and delicious dinner, we split Salmon Sliders, Lobster tacos an order of maple buffalo wings, and the best Brussels sprouts I have ever had! The staff and service was amazing, everything had perfect timing and the atmosphere was everything we were looking for! After the show we even went back for dessert! Ordered more drinks along with their cognac bread pudding and sweet potato cheesecake. I have no idea how they make everything so delicious but this will forever be my spot when going to PruCenter from now on! 10/10, 5 stars all around, HIGHLY recommended!!“

“At last minute on labor day weekend we was searching lunch and dinner catering for our Wearhouse staff where we found this place on google. with in two hour they have provide lunch sandwiches, beverage & chips for our 175 afternoon staff and they also provide dinner for our 150 evening staff. all there sandwiches was made with fresh sliced meat and cheese and fresh veggies.....we definitely order again from this place....we thank them for taking care of us at last minute....thank you so much...“

“Tonight was my first time at Krugs Tavern & my burger was simply fantastic. Great atmosphere & my waitress was to die for. She was terrific, even when I noticed I forgot my sunglasses & had to go back in & retrieve them, they were on the counter. Thank you so much. 5 stars here. Take care & good luck.“
