I much recommend you give it a try. The seating is timed by 90 minutes, so make sure that your full party arrives before you’re seated.“

“Had a fabulous time at this IHOP location, served very quickly and had the best customer service from a worker by the name of Cliff. He effortlessly made us, the guests, feel welcomed as if we’d entered a humble abode. I commend IHOP for having such a great workforce!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“

“Had breakfast here early on a Saturday with a friend. Food was good for sure. However, EVERY person working at this restaurant attended to us. We had a hard time finishing one sentence of our conversation without being asked how things were or if we wanted more coffee. I'm serious, no fewer than 6 people visited our table. Our waitress, Marissa, was personable and helpful; she was taking care of us very well. The 1-star for atmosphere was because the OWNER came to our table and asked if we wanted more coffee. I declined, but my friend accepted. I swear she did this just to make him go away as Marissa had offered us coffee moments before and she'd declined. THEN WE OVERHEAR the manager giving Marissa a hard time because we ACCEPTED COFFEE. His assumption was that she had not been attending to us instead of understanding that women know that the male ego has a hard time with the word NO. Not only should management not be giving a good waitress a hard time, they certainly should not do it where customers can hear. Gross!“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“great“

“Food was very tastefully Nice portion“

“Have been here multiple times since we moved to the area 2 years ago and have always been more than satisfied. The food is always delicious no matter what we get (too many amazing dishes to name!)

Tip: if you're going on a weekend, to avoid a long wait, call ahead to be placed on the waitlist!“

“She was a friendly, attentive and caring. Would recommend her as a waitress and this IHOP location anytime“

“salmon cake platter with grits was great!“

“What a great and convenient place to have lunch or breakfast. I truly enjoy the sandwiches and soups. My favorite is beef barley on Tuesdays. Chicken noodle fills the bill any day with different pastas to satisfy your palate. Friendly service and just a great place to eat. Come and enjoy your meal, it will truly be worth it.!!!“

“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.“

“This is a great little café/diner right next to the Westfield train station. We are fairly new to Westfield and went there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. We were wowed by the wonderful customer service of our waitress, Cindy. She was very attentive, provided great order suggestions and also brought over their delicious housemade hot sauce to go along with our eggs. All the food we ordered was wonderful, including the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes, the egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll, and the Florentine omelette. The chef (maybe owner?), Ash even stopped by later on towards the end of our meal to check on how everything was. We meant to write this review right after that, but then never got around to it and when we went back today a few weeks later, we realized how much we needed to write this up! This time Kirsten and Cindy both helped us out, and Cindy remembered us by our orders from the last time even though we had only been here one time- very impressive and shows a great attention to detail and customer service. Ash came by also, and it was clear he remembered us as well. The food was fresh and tasty yet again (we got the French toast, egg and cheese sandwich, and Greek omelette this time) and the prices are great. This place is a gem and is definitely becoming one of our go-to spots!“

“I eat breakfast here about 3-4x a week and the food is good. My only issue is that on Aug 12 2025 I ordered my usually breakfast sandwiches and instead of telling me they ran out of eggs they sold me the sandwiches at full price and yea beef bacon cheese on a roll with jelly does not hit the same without eggs. I didn't hold it against them and I came in today Aug 13 and me not even asking for anything free or any favors started to inform the woman at the counter what happened and she just cut me off mid sentence and asked for my order she clearly did not care. I left it alone and this was my favorite breakfast spot but today will be the last time I give them my business. The food is great tho.“

“I haven't eaten here in years but the Italian chicken sandwich I had about 17 years ago is worth a late review... It was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It was made with the juiciest chopped up center breast meat, I thought this spot closed years ago... I wonder if they still make that sandwich the same way they did back in the day?!!!!“

“Been here many times and the food and service are consistently top notch. Courteous service from our friendly and appropriately attentive server, and our food came quickly and was fresh and delicious as always. Nice to know First Watch is always there for an early Sunday breakfast.“

“Long review DISCLAIMER!!! I was traveling from the Carolinas to NYC and after shopping at the Linden Walmart Supercenter, I was very hungry and desired some pancakes. After scouring Google reviews for some place nearby besides Ihop to satisfy my hunger, I decided to check out Kelly's Breakfast at 159 Elmora Avenue. However, I was pressed for time on a sit down meal since I was trying to make it to Brooklyn in time to pick my Mother up from church. Well, I just happened to find myself near New Jersey this morning and wanted to still have my meal from Kelly's Breakfast. Around my morning arrival time paid street parking in front of the establishment was limited but I was able to find parking on the side street within a short walking distance. I was met with a greeting and a friendly smile as I entered and approached the counter. No, this is not a big place, but with ample seating to accommodate 2 or 4 guests at a table the vibe is inviting, warm, and relaxing! There's a TV tune to the news if you're interested! As I was dining alone I glanced to see what was the latest happenings in our world. It did not take long for my order to arrived to my table and I gave it a 10 for presentation. Also, a 10 for taste, portion size, and quality. Another 10 for CUSTOMER SERVICE OVERALL and accommodating a small request reference my phone. The prior reviews that stirred me in the direction to Kelly's Breakfast did it justice and I will continue with my 5 Stars. Kelly, who was also the hostess, is charming and checks on you to ensure everything is good. I will be back in my future travels!!!“

“I love their food and love how they strive to make a better world for special needs individuals!“

“Perfection is an understatement. Kudos!“

“Es una excelente comida ecuatoriana recomiendo que vayan al lugar doy la calificación de 10 muy buena👍“

“Went with the wife after picking up our painted clay from Color Me Mine nearby. We were impressed by the colorful chalk menu up on the wall, with a limited yet delightful selection of salads and sandwiches.

We ordered the BLAT and the Mona Lisa sandwiches, along with the Vermont salad.

The staff are very friendly and take your order almost immediately, even with a line. The drinks we ordered were prepared right on the spot and ready in no time.

The sandwiches themselves were ready in about 10-15 minutes, fresh and hot

All the ingredients were incredibly fresh and high quality, and at a reasonable price as well. Averaging at $12 per sandwich, we were left full and satisfied.

The same can be said for the salad, which was quite delectable.

Arnold Palmer 10/10
Latte was iffy according to the barista wife, but nobody is perfect

We will 100% be going again, one of the best sandwiches we’ve had in Jersey by far!“

“Always stop in for breakfast when I'm up by Union. Their Bacon egg and cheese plus a coffee taste amazing

Parking: Usually plenty of parking, 2 cars can fit in the front on the street and 5+ in the lot, depends how busy“

“I’m finished with my meal. However, my family still eating and the worker started mopping and now we start smelling FABOLOSO!!!! I’m very happy that they are clean!!!!!! However, it’s very strong to smell when you’re eating ??‍♀️“

“We definitely recommend A&G Luncheonette, If you are looking for a place to enjoy a delicious breakfast with your family, they have a delicious seasoning and excellent customer service, places that are no longer found in the surrounding area“

“Great breakfast and healthy smoothies. A little pricey but still great“

“They have the best cheese grits around! I've had omletes, beef sausage, home fries and lunch sandwiches. I have never been disappointed by any item on the menu. I recommend calling ahead to pick up your order. Sometimes there can be a long wait but it is definitely worth it.“

“Excelente atención , rica comida y ensaladas variadas.“

“Great everything, but they really need more space inside or get people’s phone numbers to call them for waiting in their car when it’s packed. There’s no space inside to wait. They should REALLY consider moving the high chairs/baby seats into a utility closet instead of in the hallway where there’s limited space. A small bench would be better than the high chairs“

“I’ve been eating here for almost 10 years. The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. People use the word butter milk pancakes loosely. Theirs really taste like butter milk. Everything is good. Same chef for years. My only complaint is, They never open on time, they’ve actually been closed for a while with no notice. Shame because me and my girlfriend are from out of town and waited outside for almost 2 hours. If they correct punctuality, I would give it five out of five stars because the food is phenomenal.“

“lox w/cc on a croissant and cup of coffee for years❤ best bagels and bialys!“

“I love their coffee and sandwiches. Great sandwich platters and friendly service!“

“Best waffles I’ve ever had. Not sure what they put in the batter but I’ve never had a waffle that tastes as good as the ones here.

All the other breakfast sandwiches are also really good, and the prices are very reasonable. I’ve only had their breakfast so I can’t comment on their other food.

I’d mostly recommend takeout here, yes there is a seating area but it’s kind of small.

“Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was great! The price was very reasonable.“

“My experience at IHOP was mixed. My server was kind. My waiter was polite but not very attentive. I had to go through 3 sets of silverware to find a fork that didn't have eggs caked up on it from the dishwasher heat (see pics).

The banana Foster meal was what I loved most and to be expected. Even the free short stack :-).

Overall, I would come again but expectations would be higher. Not gonna lower the bar on you guys. Surely you can do better, above and beyond.“
