“My daughters and I went there because we were having a rough day and wanted to just get out of the house and what a great experience we had .Our waiter Reise was super funny, had such great positive energy that transmitted to us. Our food came out fast and tasted great ! We left out of there smiling and happy with the food and service. As a business owner myself I understand the importance of having great customer service , giving the customer something beyond a service is anlso anbout the experience they receive and Reise def had that down ! My 12 year old said wow mom he is the best waiter we ever had and we eat out a lot and have had some pretty bad services before.. We never know what someone is going through so is important to always show kindness.. thank you Reise for going beyond your job and showing my girls and I kindness and positive energy and even words of encouragement..Keep being a light the right people will value that we sure did 🫶🏼“

Alana was amazing and patient. Love the prices and the hospitality. I also like the slot machines even though I lost ?. The French toast was filling and plentiful. I will definitely will return. Jersey future customer here .?“

“Amwell valley diner employees and owners One and all wish you all a happy thanks giving and all one can eat - now there a lot to say about the diner but sums it up the very best is a old school touch of hospitality and friendly atmosphere go on down the food is upscale and it’s a happy feeling you can relive the yesteryear days when we were younger but who says tradition has to ever stop in closing the home made corn muffins are sooooo delightful take it from a old schooler thru and thru and young at heart always this place is a icon of happy times and conversations ….“

“I would highly recommend Winberie's! my husband and I went for the first time today to have some lunch. The Executive Chef, Steve Fitch, was so awesome! My husband has a laundry list of food allergies and Steve came out to offer alterations he could make to the menu items to accommodate us. Everyone there was so friendly and the cocktail and food we had was all fresh and delicious. I could have the parmesan tomato soup everyday for the rest of my life and be happy, it was the best I have ever had. Thank you for a great lunch experience, we will definitely be back!“

“All the food I order is delish, try it you'll like it, for sure.“

“Ended up stopping in after the original place I wanted to try was closed. Chicken was moist on the inside and crispy on the outside ladies behind the counter were exceptionally polite I would recommend this place for a quick grab a chicken this is not a place that you want you can sit down and eat in“

“We visited for dinner on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend so it was busy (as was all of Princeton). However, the grin of house service was great … friendly and efficient and although lots of people jostling near the door we were pleasantly greeted and shown to our table. \nOur waitress was lovely and looked after us very well (Helen I think). The food was delicious and a nicely diverse menu. \nNice selection of wines (quite expensive). \nDefinitely worth a visit. Best to book.\nOh, and it can get quite loud so if you want a slightly quieter surrounding, downstairs might be better.“

“Had a turkey club sandwich with chips. Enjoyed the food at a reasonable price in vibrant ambience. Will certainly return.“

“The food and service never disappoints. ❤️❤️❤️“

“This Applebee place is awesome and is one of the best restaurants around here in Princeton Junction in terms of food quality, pricing and services. I have been coming here since last 8-10 years and must admit that quality of food and services has been improving with time. Thanks to Shannon and every other staff/servers here!!!“

“When it arrived, the quesadilla was golden brown and crisply seared, with a perfect balance between a crunchy outer shell and a slightly chewy texture. The tortilla had that inviting, buttery aroma that hinted at a satisfying bite. It was cut into even triangular sections, with gooey cheese stretching between them, making it visually appetizing. On the side, T-Dubs includes the best salsa.“

“Nubia (manager) and her staff are lovely and the flavors/variety are impressive! It’s great to have a place like this on campus - a nice mix of faculty/staff and students use this for lunch. It’s a mix of buffet style with a formal dining room experience (wait staff for drinks and busking the tables). Nubia really makes you feel at home! Go check it out. All for about $10!“

“Was there yesterday. Well staffed. Very friendly. Had fish tacos for lunch and the smoked bbq for dinner. Both were very good! Will be back for sure.“
