Thank you, Kristine’s!”

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10”

“Delicious food and great service”

“My partner and I stopped by Crumbl for our first time and had a great experience! We got the S'mores and Chocolate Chip cookies plus a Diet Coke. The cookies were warm, perfectly chewy, and high quality. The store was really clean, and the cashier was friendly and super informative.

It’s a bit pricey ($15 total including a $2 tip), but convenient when you’re craving a cookie.”

“Mi Espana is outstanding! Totally blew us away! Absolutely fantastic authentic home cooked Spanish food!! The caldo gallego (soup with greens, pork, white beans & potatoes), sopa pescado (seafood soup), chicken paella, pulpo (octopus with vegetables), and torta dessert were all fantastic! The chef clearly loves what they do and you can taste it! Great service too! Better than the Spanish restaurants in NYC, N. NJ & Philly and very reasonably priced! Can't wait to go back!!”

“Chopt in Princeton is great!!! The Uber driver didn’t deliver my order so I called the restaurant and the manger (Natalia) reimbursed my order and had my order remade and delivered it herself. She also gave me a coupon. She went above and beyond. She is awesome!!”

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.”

“Stunning floral back area that makes the most of the space. Able to accommodate a large amount of people and very kind staff. Not to mention the drinks and donuts were amazing!”

“This restaurant has excellent service! My server Sanaa was attentive and made sure everyone at the table had their food and drinks at a timely manner. Food was fire!! everything came out quickly even though it was very busy. The food tasted amazing, especially their flatbread. We told Sanaa that our cousin from California came, and she made their experience experts special!! this restaurant is great because they think about the customer’s full experience. Will definitely come back again!!”

“We were there last night. Forget the poor reviews. When you walk in it feels like a pizzeria, but when the food is presented, it's like a 5 star restaurant! The presentation is gorgeous, the preparation is perfection. We were 5 in our party and everyone left happy. The portions were very generous and some of us brought leftovers home. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and it wasn't exorbitant either. Special shout out to Elizabeth, our delightful server (and daughter of the owner/chef) who treated us like royalty. Other friends who came in after us agreed!”

“This place is an absolute gem!! From the moment you walk in.Food is nothing short of spectacular,each dish is beautifully crafted,full of flavor,and beautiful presentation..The drinks are showstopper by Marvin.☺️Top shelf liquor so he could make anything you want it .

The Hungarian girl from Felsoörs 🇭🇺🇺🇸) was exceptional, so knowledgeable of the menu, sociable, prompt and helpful!

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!”

“Last night was our first time at Pastiamo's and our experience was fantastic from start to finish! The food was absolutely delicious -- Burrata, Gnocchi Pesto, Penne with Walnut Sauce and Rigatoni Ragu were especially everyone's favorites.

I highly recommend this restaurant, and our family will definitely be back!”

“Food was so warming on a cold day - duck red curry was flavorful and spicy.

The restaurant is self order on kiosks

Nice ambiance”

“Food and service was fantastic”

“Great food! Excellent service.”

“China Chen is the best Chinese take-out restaurant in this area. I try to come here at least once or twice a month. It is in a little food court inside the Forrestal Village (across from the now-closed down Salt Creek Grille). I like their beef and broccoli, fried rice, bourbon chicken and pork egg rolls the best. The service is always quick and the prices are very good. There is seating inside the food court and outside as well. Everything is made to order (the food is not sitting out) and is fresh and hot. The service is friendly and quick. There's a PF Chang's further down which I do not recommend (their prices are too high and their quality is very poor). Wegmans used to have excellent Chinese food, but not for the last 10 years or so. This is truly the best place in the area. Also, China Chen takes credit cards and there is no service charge to use your card and they do not have a tip jar out (I know a lot of people hate that).”

“I love this place.Delicious food & friendly service.”

“Attended the Grand Opening for the New Smyrna Beach Location. It was very festive. The Bowls were delicious!”

“Love their sandwiches and burgers and gyros! Fast food just doesn't cut it for me anymore. Sometimes you just want something cooked fresh with good ingredients and this always hits the spot for me!”

“too expensive, horrible service, arrogant and ignorant staff. unless you have 15 minutes to wait for a simple coffee and muffin while these igorant people commiserate with college students, dont bother patronizing this place. $15 for muffin, coffee and tip makes Starbucks seem inexpensive.”

“The greatest moment to offer a cozy get-together with my daughter's 12th birthday. The setting was elegant. The service was immaculate. The food was lovely and matched the whole event. My daughter really enjoyed this celebration with her two closest friends and found themselves totally immersed into this wonderful setting. Thank you for making this experience so phenomenal! Truly, memories that all three of these young ladies will remember for their lifetimes!”

“WOW WOW WOW !!!! A friend gave me a dozen of your mini cakes as a gift. They are absolutely amazing and just the right size for a super yummy treat.”

“First time visiting the bubble tea store and found they have cooked food as well. They are a bit far from the main shopping area of the Princeton university. They inside layout is very unique. Their bubble tea 🧋 is delicious and not too sweet! Definitely back again!”

“Turned up on a Friday night hoping for some fun filled Friday action. Didn't quite materialize like that but I sat at the bar drinking beers and chatting with staff. Very friendly. Boss should allow them to do shots 😄”

“It's a coffee shop inside Whole Foods. Never seems too busy not that they moved it to a corner in the bakery section. Lots of options. You either have to leave with your drink or carry it around with your while you shop.

It just melted in your mouth. If you don't go there you are missing out. It is 100x's better than the food truck I can't find half the time. Good luck I will definitely be back!”

The wine list was nice and offered so many choices. My husband and son had the brown butter old fashioned which was an interesting spin on a classic. The steaks were all cooked to our liking. The overall experience was great, we just requested that we not be rushed. We asked the waiter to slow down a bit so we could take our time in between courses.”

“Great place to have a dinner and a good time.”

The manager’s food recommendation was excellent—we really enjoyed it! The food was delicious, and the restaurant has a very cozy and pleasant atmosphere.

Such a great first experience. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!”

“Excuse me what? What right does this phenomenal place have being hidden in a random place in nj? Why haven’t I found this before? This is some of the best authentic Mexican food I’ve had in a long time. The service was kind and prompt. It’s such a cute dinery vibe. Each item in my chilaquiles was so flavorful. Oh and I don’t know who gets this but as much as I like fancy coffees, I really really love good deli coffee. Often it’s burnt or old. This stuff is perfect. And if you stay to eat, in a mug, which is so nice. Amazing. I’m not even done eating and felt moved to write this. Damn. Amazing.”

“I placed an online order around 1:00pm for 6:30pm pickup the same day. The website was easy to use, showing which cakes require 24 hour notice and which were available immediately. I selected the cake I wanted and checked out.
When I showed up at 6:30, I was informed that they didn't have the style of cake I ordered. I was allowed to chose any other cake, and the one I got was still delicious, but they didn't have the same flavor I wanted. Plus the design was very different and not as festive for the occasion.
I'm especially disappointed that nobody called me or emailed me in advance.”

“Pretty overpriced for what is offered. The food is of pretty great quality though, no doubt about that. I would imagine $5.50 or $5.00 would be more reasonable for a cheeseburger rather than $6.50”

“Me and my family are vegetarian and tried veggie hummus wraps and pesto flat bread with smoothies. Tropical Smoothie Café is a great spot for anyone looking for refreshing smoothies and healthy food options. Their menu offers a wide variety of smoothies, from classic fruit blends to protein-packed options, all made with fresh ingredients. The flavors are vibrant, and they never taste overly sugary like some other smoothie places.”

“Great experience! I was so excited to have great croissants ( Dubai croissant, flat croissant, etc…) and also the fig and cheese pie…All items had a good price ( around $3.5 each). I definitively encourage you to look for this very nice place ( it s a little bit hidden) You will have a “ Belle Jounee””

“Jason demonstrated exceptional kindness, remarkable patience, and unwavering support. Despite my initial indecision, he patiently awaited my decision. Regrettably, I was unable to provide him with a tip due to the fact that I was making my payment in cash. Most importantly, My salad was delicious.”

“I loved the Chipotle Bison Burger and Cheese Fries, and my wife loved the Grilled Tilapia Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. The burgers were each well packed with toppings and packed well with the keep-your-hands-mostly-clean wrapper. We'll definitely be back in the future!”

“Ricky’s Thai has been my favorite restaurant for over a decade and this restaurant is now tied as my favorite! Absolutely amazing food and great service always, highly recommend.”

“Clean place, delicious wings! And the best part of all, service was a fast! Some wing stops, you have to wait forever- not here. 5 minutes tops and we had piping hot, delicious wings! They are in the quieter side of next to Tropical Cafe. Worth giving them a try of you want the best wings EVER!”

“Food is tasty and portions are generous.
Taboulah was good and mansaf was amazing.
They serve fresh baked bread and olive oil.
Now, if you are from the middle east, it is 85% compared to home made dishes, but for the general public, it is a great experience.
Bring your own bottle.”

“I am not typically someone to write a review, but I need to shout out Deveon. He was such a pleasure to speak with in addition to providing incredible service. I already love the vibe and food at Alfalfa, and Deveon made it even better!”

“Very impressed with the freshness of the food here, think Chipotle but Mediterranean. Great variety of options, prices were reasonable and the staff was very helpful. Definitely adding mezeh to my regular rotation, happy I found it.”

“Great experience at Nimbu, food was tasty, creative, and genuinely unique; everything we tried felt thoughtful.

What stood out even more was how wonderfully the team accommodated a food allergy. The team took it seriously, made us feel comfortable, and handled everything with care and attention. The service throughout was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.

The space itself is beautiful too, with a great aesthetic and an inviting atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special without being pretentious. From a fellow Indian, this place is authentically Indian.

Between the food, hospitality, and attention to detail, Nimbu really impressed us. We’ll absolutely be back and would highly recommend it!”

“Really enjoyed our visit to Madras Dosa! The place was clean, the food was fresh and full of flavor. We tried the Masala Dosa, Chicken Keema Dosa, and Pav Bhaji, everything was delicious. Prices were reasonable too. Definitely recommend this place if you want authentic Indian food.”
