“We had dinner at Ruby Tuesday in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and were lucky enough to have Bella as our waitress. She told us right away that she was new and still in training, so my sister and I joked that we'd be extra nice to her—but honestly, she didn't need any extra help!

Bella was incredibly sweet, friendly, and attentive throughout our entire meal. She took our drink order promptly, answered all of our questions about the menu with confidence, and kept a close eye on our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Her warm personality and genuine care made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

We live in Maryland and Florida, so unfortunately we probably won't have the opportunity to dine here again. But we wanted to make sure Ruby Tuesday knows what an amazing asset Bella is to your restaurant. She has a wonderful attitude, excellent customer service skills, and a bright future ahead of her. Thank you, Bella, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“NY Fries was incredibly delicious, loved the Poutine with Pulled Pork BBQ and Cheese Curds. Went to Canada a year ago Jul. where I ate some different types of Poutine. NY Fries does it great. I hope more locations pop up in NJ. I'll be coming back to try more things.“

“Stopped be for a preflight bite and a mimosa. Both breakfasts were delicious. Coffee was great. Prosecco is n top. Rosemary was behind the bar, so friendly.“

“excellent food and customer service always“

“I attended a private evening function here and was immediately charmed by the beautiful, antique aesthetic of the property. The historic architecture and classic decor give the entire venue a wonderfully grand and romantic feel that makes it stand out from typical banquet halls. The food served during the reception was very good, particularly the prime rib and the baked pasta dishes, which were kept hot and well-stocked throughout the night. The service staff worked incredibly hard to keep everyone’s drinks refilled and plates cleared quickly. The only minor drawback is that some of the interior carpeted spaces and seating upholstery are starting to show their age and could use a light refresh. Overall, The Historic Old Bermuda Inn“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere for a delicious steak dinner & crab cakes! # 1 steak dinner. Good music & great service!!!“

“Highly recommend! We had our wedding at Galloping Hill Golf Course in the summer of 2025. The day was everything we could have hoped for and everything went so smooth! We worked with Emily throughout the process and she was great to communicate with. Any questions were answered right away. We wanted a venue that had both inside and outdoor options and loved that it had a covered patio for use all night. Ellis was our day of coordinator and both of our bridal attendants made the day run so smooth. Our guests loved cocktail hour and dinner. There was a great amount of food we went with the seafood station, pasta, Brazilian, and Chinese. We also did the breakfast sandwiches to go for the end of the night! The golf course made great photo backgrounds as well. We had the best time and would do it all over again if we could!“

“Allison was our server today, and from the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and such positive energy. She was attentive, friendly, and incredibly accommodating throughout our visit.
Did you know kids eat free on Wednesdays? Because I sure didn’t until Allison told us! 😂 That little tip made our day.
Great service can really make a dining experience memorable, and Allison definitely did that for us. We absolutely loved her and will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Allison, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“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.“

“Listen!!!!!!! I’m one of the biggest critics when it comes to food, and I’m usually the first person to jump online and give a bad review when something isn’t right. HOWEVER… D&J Country Cooking is absolutely AMAZING. 💯 I was a little disappointed that they don’t offer dine-in, because I would’ve loved to enjoy my food hot at a table. Instead, I ended up eating it in my car. But let me tell you — it was still worth it. I ordered the fish, yams, and mac & cheese… and it was incredible. Everything was seasoned perfectly and tasted like real home cooking. When I walked in, I was welcomed by a very kind elderly woman who greeted me with eye contact, a warm attitude, and great recommendations. She was sweet, helpful, and really made me feel comfortable about trying the food. It was a true example of Southern hospitality. I’m giving this spot 9 stars. It would’ve been a full 10 if they had dine-in seating, because the food is so good it deserves to be enjoyed fresh at a table. Hopefully they consider adding a sit-down option in the future because it would really take the experience to another level. I’ll definitely be back. I’ve got to try the neckbones on Wednesday or Thursday next time. Great spot!!!!!“

“Awesome. Been here three times. Everything I have had has been amazing!“

“Awesome eatery and a great time to visit on a Monday afternoon. They're normally extremely packed and I can see why. Nice, big and spacious space. Their staff are extremely well mannered.

As for their food, it speaks to why they are usually busy. It is so delicious and portioned to the value you pay. Can't wait to try again.“

“Great lunch! Love the building!“

“I love this Applebees, fast service, The food is tremendous did not have a cocktail but next time so many healthy choices you can make and the management was fantastic. I think his name was Michael Mathews. What a wonderful gentleman, very helpful and polite.“

“Indigo is a great place to live, as it offers the convenience of furnished apartments along with worry-free, all-inclusive amenities. You can move in and settle in on the same day. The mobile app is a one-stop shop to access everything in the building—from the doors and deliveries to the gym—with an easy way to pay rent or open a service ticket.

What makes the stay awesome is the friendly property manager and on-site service staff. Maurice always has a smile on his face, even on the most demanding days. He treats everyone with warmth and respect, and his office door is always open to welcome you!“

“The food is amazing with plenty of flavor. Thank you!“

“So today I update my review. The host is a handsome pleasant young man very helpful. Said he was from Jamaica. My server Lucy was friendly and enthusiastic. She waited patiently for our order. She suggested other meals and I took her advice. It was an over all good experience. I will come again.“

“Great food, friendly service and beautiful atmosphere.“

“One of my favorite local spots to grab food or watch the game. Family and Dog friendly as well. They have an awesome beer selection, consistently good food, and a friendly staff that always makes you feel welcome. I always get the power salad with steak and it never disappoints. Definitely a place I keep coming back to and recommend“

“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.“

“Hard to beat the beautiful view year round, great food at excellent prices and fabulous drinks served up by an excellent team. Was there today for lunch. THEY ARE OPEN YEAR ROUND. You wont regret trying it.“

“A very nice place grab a bite or belly up to the bar .I mean to start there's tutles everywhere and who doesn't love turtles?
From entry to exit everyone was super friendly and professional. We sat in backroom and they accommodated our request to turn on golf. Ordered some beers ( guess yall dont know what a lime wash is but no bother)
Got some calamari to start and praise be they had tentacles...onto the entrees the other two got fish and chips which im told was awesome other than one of them is a bumpkin and compared it to catfish..I had the pear and goat cheese salad with the flank steak absolutely perfect 👌.“

“Food is decent for a place such that but once you look inside hygiene of the place isn’t inviting 🥴 so if you order your food not leaning into window you will enjoy it but if you glance a bit condition of kitchen you might think twice“

“Friendly servers specially Angel,warm greeting up to the manager( Joe). The food taste great and serve fast.Good job👍🏻“

“Delicious food and best service“
