Restaurants in Princeton

“Long line, worth the wait. Friendly servers despite the onslaught of customers!”

“This was the busiest restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life. It is a fairly large space and probably used to be a chain restaurant, but it was completely PACKED with people who wanted vegetarian food! I was impressed. Plan ahead though; we waited 45 minutes for a table. There were very few options (only 2 dishes and an appetizer) for vegans. Someone had to come over and suggest them for us. When we did get the food, however, it was incredible - freshly made with beautiful ingredients. You could feel the shredded ginger and my dal had bright green baby spinach, which I almost never see in an Indian restaurant. If there had been more vegan options it would have been a 5.”

“On January 11th 2023, incredible Dustin, Once again prepared A sumptuous Gluten-free feast for me and a friend! He made Singapore noodles and Infused it with the perfect spices and it was ohhh so Scrumptiously delicious ? Dustin, not only is owner & Manager of Princeton PF Chang's, Talented gourmet Chef with a Heart ❤ of Gold!!! Also want to praise him on the delicious chicken lettuce wraps and amazing Spicy Chang's chicken he always remembers ti give me extra sauce in the side! Please give kudos to Zach who fixed the bill which was done asap and to let Patty , my delivery Angel know she was missed on 1/11 and none Other is like her she makes sure I have all the Extras and is sooo sincere and over the top service ?❤❗”

“Seasons52 Princeton food is delicious and varied as its name implies. Service is excellent as is its atmosphere.Managers, hostest,servers and staff are hands on, knowledgable,friendly and accommodating.Highly recommended.”

“Dinner last was an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT 💕. My cousins and I had cocktails to start the evening. Their French Negroni was superb. M’s starters selections were fantastic! - Quail Lollipops and Foie Gras Mousse. For my entree, I had Steak Frites-Bavette. Dinner was nothing short of magical. The service was TOP-NOTCH. Thank you, Kristine’s!”

“Absolutely love an Acai Nutella bowl with peanut butter. I could eat this daily 😋”

“Amazing food. Grilled octopus was perfect!”

“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!!”

“Had the 4course thanksgiving dinner here today. Great menu choices at a fair price. The food was delicious, the portions were generous. The service was outstanding , the staff was friendly. We will definitely be back.”

“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.”

“As a first timer at Nomad, I read reviews and saw several that complained about the service; so I was prepared for same. But have to say, the service was good. Our server was prompt to the table, gave us time to decide, and brought water. And so it went, no complaints. Pizza is no longer a cheap meal, so no problem with the prices, which are reasonable. The pies, well, they are a tasty, flavorful meal, with crust done perfectly. One of our party ordered an arugula salad, which he devoured. The Nutella desert pizza was not that impressive, but it did seem to disappear. Cheers!”

“Everything here is great. The vibes, food, drinks, and desserts are all amazing. I only got a drink and a dessert, but there were plenty of other excellent options. Their passion fruit green tea was so refreshing and captured the passion fruit taste. I also got their creme brulee mille crepe (the employees were kind enough to suggest their favorites). It was extremely good and sweet. Although the creme brulee aspect wasn't the best (sugar wasn't completely melted), the crepes taste made up for it. I was able to study there and have a great snack. I am definitely coming back to try their other desserts and delicious foods!”

“Great”

“our server Gianna was the best server I’ve ever had. she should get a raise because she’s super nice and funny. she made the experience really good and we want to come again”

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!”

“We all love Elite Five for different reasons. I love it because they do a great job with my allergies and my children love it because they have so many delicious options and get what they want. We are picking up or dining in often!”

“Great friendly staff who make fantastic tasty mixed drinks and serve delicious food.”

“Food and service was fantastic”

“Great atmosphere. We’ll definitely comeback.”

“The food was great—especially the main dishes, which were all really well done. The dessert didn’t quite live up to the rest, but overall still a nice meal. We went on a Sunday evening, so it was a bit loud with lots of chatter, kids, and the occasional dropped plate. The server took a little while to get to us, but totally understandable given how busy it was.”

“Amazing experience at the Witherspoon Grill tonight! Our waiter was awesome and their patio is dog friendly! Food was soooo good! We will return!!”

“We always enjoy the food here. Having a salad included in the meal is a plus. Our only complaint is the noise level. There isn't anything in the restaurant that absorbs sound.”

“Had a mocha, the country omelette, and home fries. The mocha and home fries were some of the best I’ve ever had. The country omelette was also excellent: the eggs were cooked perfectly. I will be coming back and bringing family and friends. A great addition to Princeton’s downtown. Excellent service and ambiance, to boot!”

“Delicious food and great service”

“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!”

“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!”

“Such a nice evening!! The food was delicious and our server (so sorry I don’t know your name!! The Hungarian girl from Felsoörs 🇭🇺🇺🇸) was exceptional, so knowledgeable of the menu, sociable, prompt and helpful! We had the fried eggplants & chicken popcorn as appetizers, then various types of noodle dishes, sesame chicken and seafood tofu. Super yummy, and cozy atmosphere. Will go back when in Princeton!”

“Great quality, well presented food in an upscale, but unassuming environment. Perfect for lunch with friends, colleagues, or a date night!

As a vegan, the variety of dishes to choose from was a relative rarity and greatly appreciated! I had the sweet potato and bean chilli which was really tasty, well balanced, gorgeously presented, hearty - the perfect dish for autumn. The plant based dishes were so well designed that my colleagues, both of whom eat meat, opted for vegan meals too!

The farm to table concept is fabulous and the quality of ingredients is noticeable on the first bite. Each staff member we had the pleasure of interacting with was lovely, and the service was excellent throughout.

Thank you Agricola team!”

“Great service, amazing cuisine!”

“Great food! Excellent service.”

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

“I dined in here last night with my wife and we enjoyed our meal. Setting was very presentable and taste was very authentic. We ordered this item called "Rani Gari Dosa" which tasted really nice.”

“Homey restaurant with fresh handmade pasta, you can choose the type of pasta and then the sauce, they have good desserts and a good cappuccino, the atmosphere is very nice and the service is very good, it is a good place to go with your family and partner”

“Love this place. Love the staff! Delicious food and smoothies!”

“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 crepes taste good and are reasonably priced for a shop in Princeton.”

“❤️ always, been visiting since 2018”

“They are the very best around! Never miss. Great for catering too. Get a slice, get a sandwich, a pie or a dinner, it's always great. I love the owners!”

“Tried New Brunswick location today for the first time after hearing raving reviews from my co-workers. I am very impressed! I got a burrito box w/ chorizo and added guac, Brussels sprouts & chipotle aioli. Oh my goodness. Delicious! Those brussels were way tasty. Then a bag of chips too. The chips had a hint of lime and lightly salted, so good. Better than chipotles. The bowl was huge; couldn’t finish which made for a great dinner. Can’t wait to come back and keep trying different meats!!”

“We tried Sweet Gourmet via the Too Good To Go app (and if you are not using this app, download it now). Everything we have received during our now, 4 separate purchases, has tasted fresh and deliciously decadent. There's always at least one item that does not survive the trip home. It's definitely our favorite bakery in the area.”

“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!!”

“Great service, very good quality of food”

“The atmosphere is a little stale but the smoothies are fantastic. They offer a variety of options. The best options are to the left of the counter. Unfortunately, I didn’t see that sign until after I ordered. I wish the worker was more personable. Thank people for coming, offer suggestions, ask if it’s my first time. It’s the little things that make a difference. After all, I’m spending $11 on a smoothie!!!! SMH LOL
It was very tasty and I will be back”

“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.”

“By far THEE BEST oat milk mocha on ZEE planet ❤️🔥”

“Great job! Thank you Sweta!”

“Illy has the BEST coffee in Princeton, hands down. They have high quality drinks and high quality service! Everyone who works there is very friendly and always there to enjoy a conversation with. I love trying their monthly specials too! This cafe is always a stop of mine while I’m in Princeton.”

“Excellent chef and delivery service”

“This place will play

Parking: The valet is just a stand up amenity that reflects the duality of the club

Kid-friendliness: They’re nice to Abby”

“I ate breakfast every day at Parallel 40 for my two week stay and Chef Tymier made my pancakes just the way I wanted - with the blueberries on the side and not mashed into the mixture! Yum yum!”

“Delicious fresh food, and the owners are so nice and friendly! Our go to spot when we're in the mood for Turkish food.”

“Good service and good food for a low price. You get what you pay for!”

“Great food! Served quickly!!!!”

“Excellent little breakfast place. The pastries and savory dishes were delicious. Particularly the olive oil pistachio tea cake and the avocado toast terrine. Kit helped us with our order and did an excellent job with all of our questions and indecisiveness”

“Their sourdough is incredible. I get it almost every weekend. The service is excellent as well— Julie is always so pleasant to talk to. The halva sesame croissants are also legendary, highly recommend.”

“Had a fantastic experience at the Burger King on Route 206 in Princeton! The staff was friendly and quick, making sure our order was fresh and exactly how we wanted it. The restaurant was clean and welcoming, a perfect spot for a quick meal with the family. The flame-grilled Whopper is always a classic, and the fries were hot and crispy. It’s great to see their commitment to quality ingredients and customer satisfaction. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and tasty meal in a fast-food setting!

Kid-friendliness: Check for coupons”

“I had a great experience at PJ’s Pancake House in Princeton, NJ. I ordered the California Omelette with two buttermilk pancakes, and the portion was generous enough to share with my wife. The omelet was delicious, packed with fresh ingredients, and the pancakes were perfectly fluffy and flavorful.

What really sets this location apart from the others is the aesthetic and ambiance—it has that charming, old Princeton vibe that makes dining here feel special. The historic atmosphere adds to the overall experience, making it my favorite PJ’s location.

Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! 🍽️🥞”

“Good place to eat. But the same problem is like everywhere now. Hire people who speak English! My family can't get a job if they don't speak Spanish! In America!!!”

“The clerk was extremely friendly and helpful. He helped my mom stick to her diet and helped me with their rewards system. The interior was comfy and inviting. Oh and the food was divine!”

“Located conveniently in the mall, this Starbucks offers dual access both from the mall interior and directly from the street, making it easily accessible for all patrons. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant visit. As always, the coffee met the high standards expected from Starbucks, delivering a consistently great taste. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee on the go or a cozy spot to relax, this location is an excellent choice”

“This coffee shop is amazing! The owner is wonderful. She recently came to our apartment at The Parc at Princeton Junction for a wine and truffle tasting for Valentine’s Day and it was a fabulous event. So my boyfriend and I decided to stop by her coffee shop and try it out and was I blown away! The coffee was absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is amazing! If you are ever in the Princeton area I highly recommend this coffee shop!”

“They treat you very well here ! We ordered two sandwiches to go. But their fresh food assortment also caught my eye. Everything is made with love and care. You get that vintage feeling when you walk around their market.”

“We decided to stop in for some sandwiches after picking up our little girl some cat food from the same plaza. What a great treat this is. The sandwiches are delicious as well as the tomato bisques. The service was great too felt like family!!”

“Contes pizza is one the best in the Mercer/Bucks county area. I give it a 8.99. Service was fantastic, the people are friendly and pleasant. I highly recommend going to Contes. I know we’re going back.”

“They have the best customer service the best food place i ever been to and they burritos hit different that jawn slams and that all.”

“Ginger cardamom scones! Actually, all the scones are delicious. Coffee beans are roasted in a facility in Rocky Hill. Our favorite is the dark roast. Shop local!”

“I have been going to Chucks for wings since 1985.
Went today after a long time and they were just as good as I remembered.
I went for the 14 piece wings. Recommend

Parking: Right next door is a parking garage.
Free for 30 minutes, I was in and out, so parking was free and a short walk.”

“Charming little cafe with excellent food and service 😊”

“Great cupcakes there. There’s a reason why they won or Food Network cupcake competition. I always make a stop here whenever I visit Princeton.”

“I ordered the Buttered chicken with Basmati rice garlic Naan and 3 pomperdoms.
I waited 45 mins and it was worth the wait. Absolutely delicious
Great experience thank you
Dee”

“Such a great Rita’s. They have a wonderful selection of flavors, with more variety in both ice flavors and custard flavors than the average Rita’s. The service is also very good: friendly and timely. There wasn’t too much of a line when I went, so it was very quick.”

“Loved the thin crust GF pizza. We had it customized (half mex half spicy sausage). The mex part was layered with black beans and corn and topped with pico style tomatoes and onions. Spicy sausage had red and green sweet peppers layered on top of marinara and cheese. Was enough for two if you're not super hungry. The best part was that GF didn't feel like chewy/doughy unlike other pizzerias that sell GF pizza. It seems they make it from scratch using buck wheat.

Dietary restrictions: Carries GF crust.”

“It's pretty much the most affordable bar in Princeton. The parking situation is confusing, I don't know if I'm getting towed in the back lot. Beers are always good and I've never had an issue being served even when it's packed inside and out.”

“I have been coming here for years and absolutely love this location. All the flavors are always so fresh and delicious and the customer service is wonderful and I highly recommend it.”

“The coffee is excellent and the staff is professional, caring and have an enjoyable sense of humor. I will be back.”

“I read about LaLa Lobster on Facebook. We decided to take ride today and check it out. It was very tasty, very tender and a great tasting roll. I had the Classic with warm butter..mmmmmmm so good. 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!”
