“Lucy made the entire experience a please. She was attentive, friendly and professional. We were there to celebrate my father's 86th birthday. Lucy made sure to make the occasion a special one, recomended a few entrees to my parents, and brought out a dessert for us to sing happy birthday without us even asking. She also told us which desserts were her favorite and we chose 4. Overall it was a great time and when we go back we will request her to be our server.“

“We had a 50th wedding anniversary dinner at Metuchen Inn and it was perfect. The staff there is amazing. Everyone was so accommodating and they went above and beyond to make it a great evening. Anyone who is looking to host an event should consider Metuchen Inn!“

“I tasted Bullhorns Burgers, and it was sooo good. The burger was super juicy and packed with flavor, with fresh toppings that made every bite satisfying. The bun was soft, the meat was perfectly cooked, and everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. It felt filling without being too heavy, and the fries on the side were crispy and delicious. Definitely a place I’d go back to when I’m craving a really good burger. 🍔😋“

“buena atencion y rica comida mexicana“

“I just had the BEST beef gyro! Beef was so tender and tasty and the tzatziki sauce was delicious! I will be back again!“

“From the moment Drew opened his doors in his original location we quickly became fans. This creative Chef who works magic with food has turned Drew’s Bayshore Bistro into one of the most popular restaurants to eat at. People come from all over to enjoy and will take any time slot available to do so. We have eaten here more times than I can count and have had many group dinners and celebrations. Drew’s new location is beyond beautiful and only a stone’s throw from his prior place. We just love the feel of the new home and the beautiful ambiance. it’s absolutely gorgeous from street view and fits perfectly into Keyport’s historic vibe. The food is also over the top insanely incredible. Oh yes I have favorites. The scallops are perfectly sautéed, tender juicy and was served with pesto risotto. A true explosion of flavor. Broiled oysters are one of the most incredible thing I’ve ever tasted and honestly could eat two portions for my main, but haven’t done that yet as there are so many things to try. Pork chops, steaks, soft shell crabs, voodoo shrimp, homemade ice cream and all his special makes it hard to choose what to order. Incredible list of specials are always offered. Menu changes for seasonal favorites. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I look at the menu. We are very thankful to Drew for sharing his vision and providing all of us with a delectable dinning experience each time we eat here. Five stars are not enough!“

“Was in the area delivering and decided to order food, so ordered through Uber eats.
Food was DELISH! ! !
My cheat dish (fries), were cold but I ate some.
Eye opener drink was everything.(I think that was the name of it)
Saved my free hummus side for the next day and it was so good.“

“the food is great! I live this place. service is outstanding.“

“Wanted to taste a new Punjabi restaurant in Central New Jersey and found this place through Google maps. Read their reviews and wanted to surely taste their food.. parking was a bit tight but fine . Location voice it is slightly off the main areas in Central Jersey.

Service could improve.. They forgot some order… they got garlic naan after almost 30 minutes.. .. Punjabi kulcha was the best . Super super good . Punjabi thali was also good . Garlic naan did not taste good… and so did paneer Tika Masala.. It was very average…. Lassi was really good…

Overall, it was a decent experience.. wanted to give 3.5 but gave a 4 .. for the price vs quality factor.“

“Great service every time I’ve been there“

“Outstanding craft cocktails and delicious food! I only wish I had found them on my first night in Rahway rather than my last. I would have been here every night…“

“Was so happy to visit this location! I was able to create my own meal to fit my current diet!! Staff is so friendly and helpful and they were so patient with my kids! My salad was so fresh and the chicken was organic so a huge plus! My kids loved the smoothies and another huge plus they are made with real fruit and no syrups or any of that. Love that I can eat here any day of the week, depending on what I'm in the mood for!! and LOVE the option to customize anything!“

“It was our first time dinning at Kona grill and we loved it. We were treated like valuable guests and our food was brought quick. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the flight margarita, it was amazing and perfect amount of alcohol. We loved it.“

“Rarely do I feel inspired to 5/5 a place but this is a magical spot to hang out. DJ Davis G spins the best music creating incredible vibes you cannot miss. The servers working are attentive and friendly. All of this is a 10/10, but I need to talk about the food. The wings at this spot are by far the best wings you will ever have in your entire life. When you are listening to some of the best songs you ever heard, while receiving the best service you have ever had the pleasure of receiving, you will be sitting down eating the best wings you have ever had in your entire life. These wings changed my life. I have a new answer to my "what would your last meal be" answer after consuming the wings at this pub. Nothing will ever replace how I felt when I was at this special pub. Cannot recommend more.“

“Great customer service 👍 Delicious food“

“Houlihan's is definitely one of my go to dinner or lunch places on a regular basis. I always ask for Colleen as her customer service skills are an A+++. She is pleasant, knowledgeable, and makes great recommendations. Besides the made to order food; the amazing french onion soup, yummy chicken wings, perfect salmon, prime rib sandwich, just like homemade pot roast, just to name a few good foods, Colleen is a main reason why I have been a regular for so many years. A shout out also to Al, one of the managers who is also a staple at the Holmdel Houlihan's. He is a true customer service person and he always greets you with a big smile. As a matter of fact I am going to Houlihan's tonight for dinner and have already requested my favorite waitress Colleen. Now what should I order tonight....mmmmm“

“We needed a place to get together after a game with a lot of people. The Colonial didn’t hesitate when I said 20 people. We came and they sat us in the back so we could all be together. Phil and Pedro were an amazing team. They organized our checks by family and all of our food came out hot, fast and delicious. So very thankful for this option in the area!“

“Got married in Vegas then threw a celebration with family & friends. Couldn’t have been more perfect 💕👍🏻“

“I experienced very good service from this location one of the very few places which use a pizza oven and they make it fresh they gave me as much Sauce as I required the only problem was that they had a few scraps on the floor but otherwise nice people good service and better food only one bathroom tho“

“Good atmosphere and great food“

“Food is excellent and very nice place“

“The pizza is great and the service is great. On this day we had the pleasure of being served by Josephine she is always awesome!! Five stars“

“I don’t know what I would do without George and his staff. Anyone who says they are rude and they waited 45 minutes for food, obviously has never been to a local establishment where everything is cooked to order. It’s not McDonald’s. I literally eat here between 4 and 6 times a week. Sometimes alone, sometimes with my family. I know everyone by name and they know mine. They even sit and have conversations with me if it’s not busy! This place is a true gem, which is why you might wait to sit on a weekend or at dinner time. There is nowhere better. Just the atmosphere makes me not want to leave every time I’m there. And again, George, the owner, and his staff are the most dedicated, friendly, and loyal people around!“

“Just wanted to shout out our server Liz who was absolutely amazing!! Came to dinner for a birthday with 18 people and she went above and beyond as a server while having other tables along side of our big one!! We will come back to see her soon!!“

“Been my go to for 20 + years. Every wrap is so delicious, it's so hard to choose—plenty of parking in the back of the building. sat inside today doing work on my computer and had a classic wrap - san diego wrap. truly the best place for a healthy meal“

“Absolutely! Love the fruity pebble bagel❤️“

“I’ve been going to W’s for years now. The burgers and wings are off the hook good. The waitress can’t do enough for you. Great restaurant to take the family to eat and also a friendly bar to watch sports. Very reasonable priced. You definitely won’t go hungry or thirsty at W’s. Well worth trying out. Your first time will not be your last.“

“We had a nice time celebrating my son's surprise 21st birthday at Grillestone. Jose and staff were all very nice and easy to work with and they even helped pull off the surprise. Since it was a 21st Birthday, I wanted to keep it casual and wanted food that my son enjoys when hanhing out. Jose was accommodating and I ordered all different appetizers as the meal. We had plenty of food and it came out all night long as discussed just needed a little bread in between (lol) and we even had leftovers to take home as well. We had a variety of pizza, fried calamari, avacado toast, wings, mac & cheese, nachos, sliders & fries, quesadilla & Ceasar Salad, Great staff, food, drinks all night long. The only thing missing was the band/ DJ but the weather didn't cooperate that night. Thanks again and we look forward in coming back!!!“
