“Place has a cool vibe with plenty of seats and fun staff …really good bar food and live entertainment with dj’s and bands! Don’t listen to negative reviews from local competitors this place ROCKS THE HOUSE!!!!“

“Great spot for a drink, good food, and conversation“

“Stopped in for an appetizer and a beer before heading home for the day. We arrived after they opened at 4 and there were a few people already there. The bartender was super friendly. We ordered some local beers (good variety on tap) $10 a beer, and an order of the bang bang shrimp. I am still thinking about them.....for $18 there was a good amount of shrimp, the sauce was perfect and the crispiness of the shrimp was the best I have ever had. We will definitely be back for the shrimp and will stay for dinner this time. They have two floors of outdoor seating as well which is blocked from the main road.“

“I met a couple of my old coworkers there December 20th after 4 years. I wanted to go to a highly rated family-run place and this establishment didn't disappoint. The burgers, meatloaf and pita wraps were excellent. The owner Vinnie greeted us and seated us, then came by to chat with us. The server was attentive and seemed to like her job. About a 15 - 20 minute walk from the Harrison PATH station. I will be making future visits there with old collegues.“

“We had such an amazing experience at The Rock House! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is incredible — everyone’s in a great mood, super friendly, and ready to have fun. We went for the Halloween party, and they absolutely nailed it. The band was fantastic, the music was excellent, and the whole place had this awesome ‘80s throwback feel — from the décor to the energy. The food came out fast, tasted great, and the prices were very reasonable. The Halloween-themed drinks were creative and fun, and the bar staff was quick, smiling, and clearly enjoying the night. The place was packed but still felt friendly and comfortable — we ended up meeting so many great people. You can tell The Rock House puts a lot of heart into what they do. Overall, this is a class act bar that knows how to throw a party. Beers are always cold, the food is consistently good, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend checking it out — and whatever you do, make sure to try their candied bacon. It’s amazing!“

“Great place to meet and eat. Bartenders and cook are super friendly and great to know. Great food and variety. We love coming here from South River.“

“Un excelente lugar y buena atención“

“Great little bar near the PATH Station in Harrison. Located in the rear side of the Element Hotel on Somerset Street. Very nice atmosphere, friendly crowd and very friendly service. Reasonably priced drinks and if you like there is some seating outside the bar when the weather cooperates. I found it a nice place to stop and have a drink or two. I’d recommend stopping in when you’re in the area. A nice addition to the newly renovated, and ongoing, Harrison Station area.“

“this is the best bar an restaurant Katrina an Abby are the best bar tenders an the food is amazing.“

“Looking for great pizza and food in general? This is it! Great atmosphere especially for watching sports. The pizza is the best in the state they load the toppings and cook it perfectly with that crisp bite. GREAT selection of beer, some beers i cant find anywhere! Its a qauilty restaurant and clean. With attentive service aswell, all around great spot, by far one of my favorites. Check it out you won't regret it!“

“Great food. Tiny place and if you go late on certain days you may not get a table. Staff is hit or miss. One day I witnessed three young girls working there standing behind the bar talking to each other and on their phones rather then tending to the customers. I do have to give support to the one young lady who eventually had to run the whole place herself till someone came to cover the bar. They should always have more than one person working the main dining area. If you want a good bar pie come here.“

“Decades ago, I ate at this location weekly when it was "Eddie's Long Bar". I visited Pour Abbey's a few times. The inside has been COMPLETELY changed for the better. The food is very good and the service excellent. I am not in the area often but will stop here when possible. Well Done!“

“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.“

“Tonight was my first time at Krugs Tavern & my burger was simply fantastic. Great atmosphere & my waitress was to die for. She was terrific, even when I noticed I forgot my sunglasses & had to go back in & retrieve them, they were on the counter. Thank you so much. 5 stars here. Take care & good luck.“

“A couple of weeks ago I had a great filet mignon with shrimp scampi. The other night the chicken piccata was amazing. Burgers consistently good.“

“As always it was a great evening if amazing food and hospitality by all of the staff. The live band was amazing. A perfect evening to sit outside and relax with my family and celebrate Angela's birthday!“

“Good food. Very slow service. Need to get the TVs to work or at least hire staff that are able to change the channels on them.“

“Food was decent and we had great table service from the bartender that was there when we were in for lunch between 11:30 and 1 PM on a Tuesday . The negative is the 4% credit card surcharge. Firstly, I don’t like that surcharge and secondly, I have not seen establishments charge 4% so that seemed excessive.“

“Food is always good to excellent. Good hard working regulars always say hello; many have become good friends. The Portuguese " Cheers" kind of sums it up. Karokee on a Friday or Saturday brings a mix of music from people who just love to sing and to be around good people.“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by Waves of Wine for a quick drink and loved the chill vibes. The atmosphere was super relaxed, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Great spot if you’re looking for a laid-back place to enjoy a glass of wine and good company. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great place... I go for lunch all the time... Try the Cheesesteak... The thin crust pizza... Ceasar salad... & the Roast Beef is always Rare...The Staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome..So drinks at the bar or out on the patio.... It's a good time“

“I went to this place in a clutch. Wanted some food and a drink after a late show at NJPAC in Newark after midnight. It is bar food; jalapeño poppers, wings, burger, etc but very good. The bartender was courteous and despite it appeared most patrons were usuals, we were treated well being it was a first time for us there.“

“Food is very good. We went with Chinese. Fried rice, egg rolls, fried dumplings were delicious, and General Tsao chicken. Very good portions. Very well prepared. The dinner area is very plain with no privacy. More like a big open room. But not an issue, just a matter of preference. They do have a bar separate in another room which is nice and relaxed. Overall a good meal. Service was a bit slow though.“

“The Kave in Linden, NJ is a local favorite! Friendly bartenders, very affordable drinks, and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere make every visit enjoyable. The jukebox keeps the vibe lively, and on weekends, the DJ adds extra fun. Perfect spot for a night out with friends or a relaxed evening in New Jersey. Highly recommended! 🎶🍹“

“Where is Henny the DJ? No promotion. No drink specials. Lazy.“

“From the moment you walk in - the warm welcome from the awesome staff to the very chic decor and once the food came - The salmon was The Best Salmon - cooked to perfection accompanied by a salad. A fun night and don’t miss the entertainment #funfunfun @lindaslist“

“Tankys is the spot! These people in the comments below complaining about it being unsafe just have nothing better to do. Other bars right down the block plays music just as loud and stays open just as late. Besides the one incident last year, there aren’t any brawls or fights that happen there. Most ppl that go there are regulars and know each other. To the ppl complaint about it being loud in open late, you have the power to move to another place you knew where you were moving to when you moved there tankys has been there my whole lifeThe drinks are strong and cheap, the vibe is chill, older crowd, when they have a DJ the music is good, u can bring food in, and they have a lil pool table and a parking lot. I been going to tankys for year and never had a bad experience. Occasionally the bartenders be too busy to get to me and I’ll get tired of waiting and leave but that’s all rare.“

“Clean establishment, easy to fine, well lite sports bar/restaurant. It's more of a burger joint, meeting friends type place. Good pricing, good value. Friendly staff and nice owner. The best value is the prime rib dinner night. Get there early for when ribs are gone. It's over til next week.“

“This family owned bar/restaurant has a welcoming authentic atmosphere. The customer service is exceptional. Dan was very friendly and attentive. The food is phenomenal, best steak in town. The original lomo saltato is to die for. Deff will be back.“

“Good place for a complete meal at a fair price. Brazilian restaurant located in Newark - NJ, with good structure, good service and pleasant space. The menu is quite diverse and can please different audiences, the portions are large and serve one person very well. Every day of the week there is a meal option at a more affordable price, it's worth checking out.“

“buen ambiente rica comida“

“I had a great time here last Saturday night watching a band called the beekeepers, the music was equally as good as the atmosphere & the thin crust pizza! Thanks for a great night out with my wife!“

“For a hotel, it certainly was refreshing. Traveling a lot you don't always get the best food selection.

With that said, the crispy Brussels sprouts, OH-EM-GEE. Hear me out. They were the best thing I think I've eaten...in well, ever. It wasn't just the whole Brussels sprout itself, it was mostly the outer skins that was coated in seasonings, oil, and crispy. They were SO GOOD!

I definitely recommend the French Onion soup as well, we had that twice. 😋“

“Cozy and fun great beers great jukebox music. And never overly crowded ever. Love the entire menu. Great homemade chips. Delicious burghers.“

“lo mejor en amboy jass restaurant atenciones de 1ra lo recomiendo yo el mejor payaso mago 732 621 9305“

“The food was and always is Delicious never a disappointment and great service. Our waiter was awesome he interacted with our family.“

“Muy buen citio y trankilo y las niñas son muy amables les recomiendo y la misica es la mejor de Elizabeth en morris ave“

“We stopped in for dinner at Chrone’s Trattoria to try the food since it’s under new management now. It was SO good!! I got the Greek salad with chicken cutlet and onion rings. Everything was so fresh. I can’t wait to come back- their menu includes a ton so an easy place to go with friends for a great meal. Definitely check it out!“

“Lit! Lit! Lit! Went for Sinful Saturday (brunch) which starts at 9am but decided to get there early afternoon (around 12pm). It started out a little slow but boy did it become packed! Good music, the food needs help, I had french fries and empanadas and the empanadas lacked flavor and needed salt. I think more food options would help, especially if you don't eat seafood.“

“Had many family parties here and repasts. The food is very good. Issue is the last time I was there, 18 people birthday party, the service was very very poor. People waited for the coffee order for 2 hours. Asked for decaf tea and they received camomile. Waited an hour for decaf tea bag. Also, I bought a birthday cake and waited over an hour for it to be brought out and people in our party was leaving. Other issue. If you put down deposit for party, KEEP the receipt! I forgot about my deposit and apparently so did Conga and after going there with receipts and credit cards, calling, it too over 2 weeks to get deposited credited to my bank account. Just be diligent if you have a party and keep on top of your waiter/waitress. Tip Was included in total cost and there was no way the waitress deserved the amount they added to my bill! All in all, want a sandwich, dinner, cafe or dessert, food and service is very good. We will go back. But will be more on top of things if I have another party.“

“Visited today with my mom and we left extremely satisfied! We ordered two burgers and two appetizers: clam strips (normal menu) and wings (daily special)

Burgers - Very juicy and tasty, thick half pound patties. Cheese was suitably melted, I added mushrooms to mine and they were nicely cooked as well. The fries were pretty lacking in salt, but that's nothing a little ketchup can't fix :)

Clam strips - Same idea as fried calamari, but with clam meat instead. Slightly different flavor but mostly the same thing, I liked it.

Wings - These were insanely flavorful and should go on the normal menu!! Juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and an incredible dry rub made from garlic and parmesan. I am a sucker for naked wings because I don't like any sauces so this was perfect for me!!!

Service and atmosphere - Very chill and casual bar&grill environment, our server was attentive and frequently checked on us. I got a refill on my iced tea after the burgers came.

Price - We spent $87 after tip. That's what happens when you load up on appetizers :)“

“If you want to wind down from a crazy day and enjoy good eats and libations, this is the place to be! Anyone can come here and feel welcomed, and don't forget to order their famous MAC AND CHEESE!!“
