Restaurants in Perth Amboy

“This post is long overdue. however; over Easter my aunt in NJ sent me two large kielbasas to Illinois (since she knows how much I miss jersey food in general) but kielbasa was always an Easter staple in our house. For whatever reason Joe's had my wrong shipping address and couldn't get ahold of me bc my voicemail was full. One day I saw a post on their page and I liked it. they responded right away... "Lauren Carr call us!! we have your kielbasa and don't have your correct address." The food got sent back to them. The lady I spoke with was super sweet and said she would send us a brand new package. I highly recommend this business. And, the customer service that comes along with it. Thank you Joe's!!! We are highly satisfied customers. Ps... their pierogies are the BEST TOO!!!!! 💗”

“I went here to try a fresh poultry and it was what I expected and liked that I had my choice of country hen. The service was good and I didn't have to wait long before receiving my hen they even give you the gizzardsand feet. It costs a little higher than I expected. But for fresh poultry it's worth it. My only realy complaint is parking is terrible. The chickens aren't jammed together and have some space to roam which is good. I will go again.”

“A great place to gather with friends to celebrate. Excellent food from soup to large salads and every entre was enjoyed by all. Interesting drink menu. Save room for the Tres Leche cake!”

“If you are in Perth Amboy try this new Pizza Spot. I ordered a large pizza with extra cheese. It was better than I expected. They also have self served Ice cream and fresh Juice. Such as OJ, mango, pineapple and even Sugar Cane juice which is good for the hot days. The place is not big to dine a lot of people but you can dine in with a friend with comfort. Since the pizza Oven is at the front it can get hot inside. You can order a juice and youll be ok. Enjoy”

The service really stood out. Elizabeth is hands down the best waitress—attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome from start to finish.

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be coming back!”

Well...food looked so good and fresh decided to dine in for lunch special (which was being served all day today),let me tell you, best decision we made all day. Clean, nice seating, music not loud and dinner size portion. We both had a to go bag enough for dinner.
Waitress was pleasant. Service was quick. Overall a 10+
Definitely a return for breakfast.
Sorry, photos next time.”

“At about a 15 min walk from the Sadowski Parkway Waterfront Park, this picturesque restaurant is a fun place for dinner. With plenty of outdoor seating, an indoor dining area with lively music plus a club-like vibe, and a stylish bar, Noches de Columbia looks and feels like a place you could go to for your next celebration. Amazing cocktails, generous portions, and few vegetarian options. Our server needed repeating and additional orders took a while. The atmosphere seemed to make up for it though. Free parking outside for a few cars.”

“By far the best Burritos carnitas I ever tried ! Very flavorful and different sauce taste then other mexican food truck. Burrito was super warm and tasty
I highly recommend this place”

“BY FAR the BEST PIZZA in Middlesex County! The Caesar Salad pizza is NEXT LEVEL and the Margarita isn't far behind! If you're in Perth Amboy I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this pizzeria. The owner is awesome and Manny the chef was trained by a chef from Naples! Both are great guys and very personable. Definitely DEFINITELY returning!”

“The best chimi I’ve had. The meat is exceptionally seasoned, you can taste the oregano and tartness from the lime or vinegar, and it’s perfect on salt. Whoever thought on putting it on a brioche bun, it’s a genius.

Don’t sleep on the picadera too! The pork carne salada is so good and they put wasakaka sauce all over the meat. The tostones are not drowned in oil and are so crispy.

The only shame is that I live 45 minutes away and can’t eat here more often. But whenever I’m in Perth Amboy, I grab a chimi from here.”

“Los morcajetes los sopes la barbacoa todo es muy delicioso 😋”

“Best place to eat cuajito. Their arroz con gandules had such a great flavor. I loved it! I am going back this weekend for my Anniversary. Woo hoo!”

“Very nice familiar place. Staff is very nice. I came in and they were closed, and everything off , they did the favor to take my order for extra minutes of their closing time.!! Very thoughtful.!!”

“I had a wonderful experience here! I ordered the white rice with baked chicken and beans — everything was cooked perfectly with great flavor. The environment is warm and welcoming, making it a must-visit spot. What made it even more special was the uplifting atmosphere filled with Christian music at its finest. A place where you can enjoy both delicious food and a peaceful, joyful setting. Highly recommended!”

“As soon as I got in the rincón I was received with a warm welcome and the food is amazing, it might not be the biggest place but everything feels very cozy. Overall it was a great experience 10/10”

“My favorite breakfast and lunch place in the area! The absolute best egg and cheese pork roll!! It’s so good that I constantly crave it and even better, the prices are extremely reasonable. The cold cuts are also really, really good. $2 large coffee is also amazing! The best part is that this place is family run and Mr and Mrs. Lee are the sweetest people who always brighten my day”

“If you’re looking for quality Dominican food (done right), this is your spot. I got an order of oven-baked chicken with white rice and pinto beans and it was delicious. They also sell some fried foods like pastelitos (empanadas) and sorullos (cornmeal sticks) and they always hit. Love coming here when I’m craving Dominican food.”

“This place is literally amazing, definitely will be coming back again, food 10/10 and the service was 10/10 too. Jennifer the person who attended us was also really nice!!!!”

“‘Alhamdu Lillah!
I’m Not From There Area. Upon a Work Assignment In Perthamboy, Whence Lunch Time Arrived The Search For “DHABIHA FOOD” In a Non-Muslim Dominated City Is Challenging . But, I Found This Spot. Not Only Do They Have The Halal Certified Certificate But, They Were So Very Accommodating .

I Can’t Have The White Sauce , They Corrected My Order Without UnProfessional Hesitations…. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH !”

“Beautiful place, nice to clients and a variety of Dominican Food tu supiste 🇩🇴🇩🇴”

“A friend recommended this restaurant and I had mentioned this to the woman behind the counter and she let me try a piece of their boneless chicken strips..love this type of customer service. I have bought their chicken strips a few times and have been wanting to try their pieces of pork and thought that due to the flavorfulness of their chicken strips the pork would be as well. I was disappointed it wasn't. They provide their mayo ketchup and whatever is in that pinkish orange sauce lol which is good btw and a green lemony saucey dip as well also taste good which helped with the pork since it was not flavorful. That being said I will still buy their chicken. I would have given 5 stars but the pork brought it down to a 4.”

“100 % very good service and food we will back again.”

“Muy buena comida Los invito”

“I have been eating pizza in this place for 30 years and I still haven't found a good pizza like the one in this place. I lived next to the pizza, they sold the piece of pizza for a dollar. I will soon return to this place, God willing.”

“I was in the area looking for something nutritious to have and found Trankilos Nutrition. Upon walking in I felt very welcomed and Ori, the owner, was very kind and helpful with guiding me through the menu. The tea was very good and I would come back if I’m ever in the area. 10/10!!!”

“Always great, authentic Mexican food!”

“Excelente servicio, y muy buen sabor de los antojitos Salvadoreños.”

“my absolute favorite spot to get small little snacks! i love love love their empanadas and papa rellenas. the ladies working here are really nice, parking is somewhat easy to find. i always order to go and it’s in and out super quick. def recommend”

“This was my first time here as I saw the restuarant on “Perth Amboy Eats” website and I came to try their taco Tuesday special $1.00 they came out normal size ones and the flavor/meat was good! My first time here and loved it! Love from Perth Amboy Business Improvement Corporation as well! Thank you for the food and service would recommend! 🙏🏽🤍”

“Oh my god, this place is like a hidden gem. The food is amazing and the staff are very kind. I had dinner with two other people, so the table was pretty crowded with all the food. Plus, the food is pricey. Those are my only complaints.”

“Always clean when I go in they make amazing burgers and fries the owner cares about the neighborhood gives my sisters 5 kids little gifts when they come in to get stuff love this place”

“Big props to Ming Hui Chinese Take Out. It's the best Chinese food restaurant in Perth Amboy. I had a Chinese themed party this past Sunday at a rental hall . They DELIVERED!!! - on ALL LEVELS. Not sure if they've ever done an order this large at one time, but they did an excellent job. They prepared enough food to feed 150+ . I asked to have it delivered at 2:30, they were there at 2pm. Everything I asked them to prepare was on POINT, ON TIME, AN DELICIOUS. I ordered broccoli in brown sauce - made perfectly, pepper steak, boneless spare ribs, chicken lomein, general tso chicken, vegetable-white-pork fried rice. It was so fresh and flavorful. All my guests enjoyed all the food they prepared. Highly recommended . Let's not forget great customer service!”

“Toda la comida es deliciosa excelente”

“Best Chinese food around. I’m big on Chinese food and you really can’t just eat it from anywhere. This place right here though has been a long time favorite. There’s not another Chinese restaurant I’ll eat at unless subjected to another state. Great food great service and it’s expedient. Only bad thing about this place is parking.”

“It is good to have fried chicken in the house.”

Kid-friendliness: Hay Menú para niños

Wheelchair accessibility: Si”

“This is my favorite taco spot in all of Perth Amboy. The Tacos are always LOADED!! the meat is delicious and rich and the ambiance of the place is a whole vibe! I will say that their horchata is a hit or miss. Some data’s it’s thick and rich. Other days like today, it tastes like straight sweet water. Really puts the agua on agua fresca if you know what I mean. That criticism aside though, the establishment is very clean and it’s a well kept store. The service is awesome, prices are reasonable and they have a lot of stuff to offer. I do highly recommend the steak tacos with everything on it (which is what I got) and the chicken flautas! They are amazing. Also, just to answer any questions; today I was on a walk with my dog. I called and they let me in to pay with my dog. So they are dog friendly in my book, but always call to make sure if you are ever walking by with your pet and want to grab a bite.”
