“Grilled chicken sandwich with ketchup, mayo, lettuce, and tomato is my GO-TO. So good, at any time. -- I've been a customer since I can remember, always eat great and provided with great service.
Perfect for late night snacks or a stop to recharge before going home from the bar 🤣“

“The service was amazing, each course was better than the last, and its a nicely decorated, intimate space. Its absolutely worth the price and a wonderful experience. This is honestly of the best restaurants we've been to in a long time.“

“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.“

“if you like good food this is the place to go. We had a little bit of everything. Highly recommend the cheese and meat board and the gnocchi is amazing. The winner of the night was the tuna and don't skip dessert. We will come back.“

“Great food and fun atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Great place. Will be sorely missed. Unfortunately, could be beginning of mass exodus from our formerly great nation.“

“We had our daughter in-laws shower here ! They did a fabulous job! The food was outstanding as well as the service ! It was a perfect day ! Beautiful restaurant! Highly recommend!“

“Tracy was out waiter. She was fantastic. She gave us the history of the restaurant and made some great suggestions. I'm not a huge guac fan but the tuna tartare with that layer of guac on top was fantastic. The steak frites were excellent. My husband had the dry aged burger, it was juicy and tasty. It was our first time there but it certainly won't be our last.“

“The Food was delicious, service was 5 star . I would really recommend this lovely place for a dinner date or a big party at there huge room rental hall“

“My colleagues and I hosted a retirement party and chose Moonshine for the event. Victor was great to work with. He is so responsive and was able to work within our budget. On the day of the event, the tables were set perfectly, the space was great for mingling and comfortable for eating, the servers were on top of everything, and our guests are still raving about the food. I highly recommend checking out Moonshine Modern Supper Club for your next event or dinner out!“

“Great food and great drinks, very nostalgic!! Our new favorite place. Josh the bartender was great and Christine the waitress went way out of her way to accommodate us!!!!! Look forward to the next visit“

“Delicious food. Great service by Sydney! It started with amazing honey bread at the table. Flatbreads yum, especially the one with fig topping. Muscles, tuna tartare, noodle flush, brussel sprouts, calamari salad, and more! All yum! Would absolutely go there again. We had 8-10 people and the service was excellent.“

“Great service and the food and drinks were delicious 💕“

“We were there for a wonderful Caribbean themed day party. Because it was so hot outside, we first sat inside and had a full lunch as a group of 6. Decor was nice. (The round tables would make a great board game night event one day). Service was good and accurate, medium speed. Everyone liked their drinks. Food was bar food, yet freshly fried and very tasty. The calamari and pretzel bites got extra wows from the group. The outdoor area (which we moved to, by 5pm) provides a good set up for DJ/dance parties. Wish it had more shade for the evening hours (maybe a retractable system in the future?). Scenery is nice and green. Parking is hard for events and spills to streets. Was my first time here. Would come back.“

“Great restaurant! I had the caesar salad with salmon. The greens were super fresh, dressing was very flavorful, and the salmon was cooked to medium, just as I had ordered.

Our large group had lunch in The Dining Room’s private space. We had many servers, but it was mainly Ana who took care of us. She did an excellent job and is a real sweetheart.

The only downside was the coffee, which was terrible (and not cheap!). I hope they have improved the coffee by now.“

“We got the Bratwurst at the New Brunswick Oktoberfest. Best I ever had and I've been going to them all over the tristate area for 25 years.“

“Great place! A coffee hangout for the post modern beat generation !“

“Creative food, friendly staff, always delicious.“

“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.“

“New Providence Bar and Kitchen was the perfect place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. We came for lunch and immediately the staff made us feel very welcome. The menu, from the drinks to the entrees, put a fun spin on familiar dishes—just enough to be unique without deviating too much from traditional favorites. The calamari appetizer with chili peppers and capers was the best I’ve ever had— flavors were amazing. The Parmesan-crusted salmon was also tasty and my wife loved her meal too. A wonderful experience!“

“We have eaten at the new Carriage House a few times since it recently opened, and have been impressed overall. The food has been consistently good, and the Carriage House is quite lovely. We have tried chicken, fish, and pasta entrees and have enjoyed them all. The overall service is good, but as with most restaurants, they have some very seasoned staff who are excellent, along with some relatively new staff who will benefit from more experience. It is an excellent choice before or after a performance at the Paper Mill. We hope they continue service when the Paper Mill is not offering performances.“

“Nice Irish theme sports bar“

“Great staff. Delicious food.“

“This place is neat! It's also comfy, they have a small patio outside and their food is really good! We went for an event and I kept seeing people picking up pizzas. If I were local, I'd go there for pizza as well. Their bartender was very polite and didn't give me an attitude when I ordered a drink. It's hard for me to remember names, so his patience with my description was very much appreciated. Definitely recommend!“

“I performed there for my first time tonight and the place was very cool. The patrons were a nice mix, and very responsive to my songs selection. John Lepre LIVE #supportlivemusicvenues“

“Our first time here. We had a wonderful dining experience. Food and desserts were AMAZING! Our server, Kelsey was awesome! I HIGHLY recommend! Prices are reasonable and, you get your money's worth! Can't wait to come back and try different dishes!“

“Great food! Great service! Bella was our waitress for a party and she was great and so friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“My family and I have been frequenting Savory Selections Catering's Fish fry since we moved to Scotch Plains. It is one of our favorite dinner places. Felton Jones always has fresh food and a friendly greeting. Everyone should check it out! Tonight!“

“We had a repast for a family member and everything was fabulous! Setting up all the details with Lynn was seamless. Staff were friendly and very attentive to our needs. Food was absolutely amazing! We can't thank you enough! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great subs!!! Ribeye was fantastic!!!“

“Great date spot. Food is good, drink are on point and the atmosphere is perfect.“

“My sisters and I dined at The Grain House recently. The food was delicious, crafted with expertise and creativity. Hats off to Chef John!“

“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.“

“Frenchy's is such a fun, pleasant dive with bar food and drinks. Often they have music that is played so loud that you can't talk. Parking can be a problem. Small lot and street parking. Oh, and part of the movie The Wrestler with Micky Rourke was filmed there.“

“I recommend the Orgreen bowl and miso soup. A perfect lunch in cold weather.“

“I go to the ebar for coffee and a salad maybe twice a week. The employees are fast, friendly and super sweet. I would like to leave a compliment for them to the manager. Which, come to think of it, I have never seen. Hopefully he or she sees this message.“

“Amazing amazing amazing the food was delicious the service was great and the Kremas reminded me of my family’s recipe! Definitely recommend them for the food is very traditional and you will love it!“

“Our first time here. We had a wonderful dining experience. Food and desserts were AMAZING! Our server, Kelsey was awesome! I HIGHLY recommend! Prices are reasonable and, you get your money's worth! Can't wait to come back and try different dishes!“

“Always an amazing experience. I live in JC and I don’t mind driving 38minutes down to NB just so that I can be here. Keep up the good work.👍“

“I was there on October 24, 2025 Friday. I had dinner that day. The food is always delicious and cooked to perfection. I love sitting on the patio. It's a great atmosphere.“

“Excellent service and the food is AMAZING! We live going there for the Oysters“

“I came here with my husband. Drinks were great. He ordered a Caesar salad and I ordered their Hot Nashville Chicken sandwich. My husband laughed because I had no idea that Nashville hot meant HOLY HOT lol. But I was not disappointed. This was the juicy, best chicken sandwich I'd had anywhere that I can recall in my 32 years.. And I worked in food service for 13 years. The service was also phenomenal. There was a rowdy bunch of younger ones at the bar that eventually got asked to leave. But she kindly let us know that we were welcome to move our table if we so desired. We are definitely coming back again.“

“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“

“Dope every time I go amazing food.“
