“great food and cool place to eat“

“The food here is amazing as well as the healthy drinks. I wake up craving their breakfast sandwiches and owner Francisco is the nicest guy“

“The food was great, the portions were generious and filling, the atmosphere was pleasant. I only have 3 complaints.
Complaints 1 & 2: The servers were unattentive probably because they add 18% tip on your bill w/o telling you in advance and they have the audcity to ask for more when you pay with a credit card (note CC transaction adds an extra 2.75%.) The restaurant was not busy while we were there. I observed me server sitting at the bar eating and playing on his phone a few times during my meal. It took 15 min for me to get a drink refill after reminding the server 2x it also took about 15 min to get the check after asking for it when we were ready to leave. Had the server been in the area and paying attention my meal coukd have ended 30 minutes earlier.
Complaint 3: Communication issues, the establishment is a restaurant/bar/lounge/club. So its loud inside there is no real seperation between the various areas you could hear the DJ interacting with the partons in the club/lounge area and the music being played was really loud so at times it can be hard to communicate with dinner companions and the staff. When you walk in the restaurant is on the left and there is a large doorway to the right for the lounge. While eating i noticed that i had to speak really loudly to be heard by my server and dinner companion. Also server did not seem to be able to communicate effectively either. He spoke little to no english and when responding he simple responded with yes's and no's even when those responses didnt apply nor were they appropriate response. I tried speaking with him in spanish and that wasnt effective either probably due to the noise levels Ultimately we ended up using their electronic menu and pointing at the photos to place the orders for apps, dinner and dessert,
Complaint 3: They have a mandatory valet that work purely for tips. The parking lot is not so large that its even necessary to have a valet. Granted it makes the experiance seem more high end but its totally unnecessary. The front door is roughly 25 feet from the furthest space in the parking lot. So the valet just seems to be an unnecessary cash grab. Also they allow take-out and delivery service drivers to park in the disabled parking area. Having only 2 disables spaces its rather inconvienent for persons with disabilities. To access the designated parking spaces or they are forced to valet.
Overall the food is the main and only reason i will return. The service was not the best and my experiance was slightly above average.“

“I was there today for the first time and I loved the food, the place was very nice, it looked clean, a little noisy with the music very loud, but the very friendly girl turned it down but the food was very exquisite. I think I will return. I recommend tacos de birria su consume it was delicious ?“

“Try the stews!

Judy's Kitchen is amazing. I appreciated their food 10 years ago as a student at Rutgers and still order from here after moving back into the city.

As a poor college kid, I could depend on Judy's to supply 2 meals in one with their stew/rice and side (Traditional plate) for around $10 back then - and the food was always delicious. 10 years later, they still offer very reasonably priced food in massive quantities and it's just as delicious as it was back then.

Service is excellent - I ordered through DoorDash tonight and they called to let me know they were low on the stew I ordered. The lady offered me several options at no extra cost and it made me feel like they really care about customer satisfaction.

In short, great food, great price, amazing quantities and always friendly.

You guys are awesome!“

“Our first time trying this restaurant. It was very good! Friendly staff and delicious food. We will be back again.“

“We had the pleasure of dining for the first time at Due 360 in Summit. From the moment we walked in, Luis the manager and Brianna welcomed us and seated us promptly. Luis was very attentive and made sure we were happy with our order. Our server Sofia was extraordinary! she was warm and friendly with genuine smile. She offered excellent recommendations and we had conversation as if we're know each other for years. We started with a complimentary bruschetta, it was tasty and nicely flavored. I ordered the Tapas- Polpo Ala Plancha, Steak Yuca Frities and Crabmeat/shrimp tacos. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. The portion was perfect and the presentation was impeccable. Due 360 was quite a gem of an Argentine-Italian restaurant (interesting combo but it worked!). This place is going to be my "go to" dining spot. I highly recommend it and the experience is worth it.“

“It is a clean place and although it is not luxurious, the food and service is wonderful. To start I ordered an empanada from Pabellon and without waste, delicious; Then I ordered a cachara with cheese, and it was delicious full cheese. Truly a Venezuelan enterprise that deserves to be supported, because you will enjoy a delicious meal and they will serve you with Venezuelan warmth. I recommend it.“

“Ordered takeout from La Cantera Express and was super impressed! The food was packed securely and still hot when I received it. I tried the burger and it was delicious—flavorful and fresh. Portion sizes were generous too! Definitely going to order again!“

“My friend is here from Honduras and I brought him in to see if this was close to how the food tastes in Honduras and we were both impressed. The food was cooked fresh and seasoned well. The place itself could use a makeover but outstanding “

“Had an all around great experience every time we've been there for brunch Sundays“

“My wife and I ate at Ford's in late December 2024. Boy are we glad we did! After seeing the reviews here and elsewhere, it was very clear we had to come here while we were in the area, and now we know why! We had never experienced Portuguese BBQ before, and holy moley, was it delicious!\n\nI had a lunch-sized chicken and pork ribs combo, and my wife had the lunch-sized chicken and beef ribs combo. All of the meat was absolutely sensational, well cooked, seasoned well, and just melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The BBQ sauce that came with it was also tasty, but honestly we felt like we didn't even need it because the meat was so tender and juicy.\n\nThe fries and yellow rice were also very tasty.\n\nAnd even when you get the lunch-sized portions, you get TONS of food, like we both got more than enough for both lunch and dinner.\n\nThe gentleman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the meal.\n\nI'm not sure when or if we'll be back in the Fords/Woodbridge area, but if we are, we will definitely put this on our "must do" list every time.“

“Great. Great. Great. Unbelievable customer service. Family owned for many years. Ordering pizza and any other items is always a great experience. The secret is in their sauce! The sauce is so succulent. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends and family.“

“Great restaurant with great service! They have very unique menu options, which all sounded delicious. Out of the things we ordered, the Bananas on the Beach was my favorite. It had a very interesting flavor, but was really good! We had also ordered some sort of crepe dish, which was also fantastic, though I forget what it was called. They have great outdoor seating with heaters when we went, which made the experience very enjoyable. Will definitely be back soon!“

“Perfecto para compartir en familia, Comida sabrosa . Lo recomiendo. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Lo recomiendo 👍 la comida es deliciosa y el local muy limpio 😎“

“Love the food here they definitely give ample food for the money. Dining area is rather small I always do take-out. Food is served tray line style so you're able to see and select your menu items. It can get very busy at times due to the small serving area where there's usually only one person taking orders.“

“The food is absolutely delicious and well seasoned. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. I love the steak, pernil, carne frita and arroz con gandules. I make it a point to stop by whenever I am in the area. Try them out you too will love it.“

“Delicious food!!! Their seafood soup with coconut milk is just like my Mamasita used to make. The Loroco/all their pupusas are amazing...it was like eating at home. Can’t wait to be back for another great meal!!!“
