“Great beer selection on tap. Best bar pies around. Live music occasionally and a DJ on the weekends. They have one pool table and lots of TVs so you can watch all kinds of sports. Sundays during football season is great as they have all the games on and the DJ will host games like bingo, trivia, etc. You go there for the beer, food, and fun but you stay for the Tuna.“
“The crispy chicken burger was a highlight, boasting a satisfying crunch and flavorful chicken patty. The loaded fries and masala fries were tasty sides, though the portion sizes could be more generous. The coleslaw was fresh and provided a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the main dishes.“
“Was looking for a good burger and I found it. Best burger around hands down. I had the bleu's brutha burger and fell in love. The French fries and onion rings were crispy and delicious also. The general manager, Kyle couldn't have been sweeter or more attentive. He definitely has found his niche with his open and warm personality. I highly recommend this burger bar. Ps. If you like peanut butter, do yourself a favor and try the nutter udder shake made with peanut butter whiskey. AMAZING!“
“I was at a party that had Fatty Fat Snacks cater the event to order. Let me tell you, I wish I had another one of their burgers right now! They had a signature burger on the menu that night…Asiago truffle bacon burger. It was so good!!! Brandon and Andrew were very friendly and accommodating to the guests. I look forward to checking them out at their new spot in Aberdeen!“
“Portions were big, which made me fill up a lot! Crust was a mixture of soft and crunchy, which just added to the delight. This has to be one of my personal favorites in Metuchen.Wheelchair accessibility: Able to access because in the plaza there are no elevations“
“Recommended to us, which we are glad for - as we would have never walked in on our own. Visited for a late lunch. The entire menu is dynamic and unique. The portion sizes are small by NY standards but were how we really should eat - reminiscent of how it is in Italy.The 17yr old waitress we had was extremely professional, attentive & overall very pleasant.The thing I would comment on is the ambiance (think ice cream shop (way too bright) lighting and diner type furnishings) does not match the high quality of their food.We had one glass of wine, a soda, beef carpaccio appetizer, truffle gnocchi & osso bucco, one dessert & a cup of tea. $160 after tip.Would return to try other entrees for the delicious food & great service. Just not as a romantic dinner or celebration, solely because of the lighting & decor.“
“SMASHVILLE's smash fries are an absolute game-changer! The combination of perfectly cooked spicy beef patties, crispy fries, melted cheese, and savory onions is simply irresistible. Each bite is bursting with flavor and texture, creating a mouthwatering experience unlike any other. If you haven't tried their smash fries yet, you're definitely missing out on a culinary delight that's worth every bite!Parking: No parking available there usually“
“Food is by far the best I’ve had in the area, you get complex flavors, fresh foods, amazing clash of textures, good portions all for a quite cheap price compared to all the big restaurant chains that charge more for worse, Food arrives quick and hot and service is great. No complain. Still skeptical? Just come here and buy something for yourself, a small expense for a meal worthy of critical acclaim.“
“We love coming here for good halal burgers. The service is really good and it's a great place to come with friends and family. There isn't a lot of seating, so it depends on the time of day when you can find seating inside. Overall, it was a great experience.“
“Tomato Pies Italian Kitchen offers a decent dining experience with its cozy ambiance and Italian-inspired dishes. The menu selection is varied, but some dishes fell short of expectations in terms of flavor and execution. While the service was friendly.Additionally, the portion sizes seemed inconsistent, with some dishes being overly generous while others felt lacking. Overall, Tomato Pies has potential, but there are areas that could be improved to elevate the dining experience.“
“Alexa and and Austin are amazing they make me come back they’re customer service and attentiveness is hard to find especially in a chain restaurant. I hope they get the recognition they deserve. KEEEP THEEEM FOREVEEEERR, the day they leave I leave and everyone I always bring with me lol.“
“Hot Dogs done right at this place. Great prices. I tried an Alabama slammer and it threw me for a loop. Way to get the combination of flavors on point. Also the onions on a dog just simply good, but the star of the show had to be the chili dog. A winner for sure. A MUST try. The fries good and the dogs great. If you’re in the area stop and enjoy the menu. Classic joint.“
“The best tacos!! Keep it up always and you will never lack customers!! The delicious tacos al pastor and enchilada not to mention with their fresh and finely chopped onion their fresh cilantro the super fresh cucumbers, radishes, lemons that's how it should be! Just a little less fat but they are “
“I'm always on the lookout for a new lunch spot, saw this place had good reviews so we took a shot last week and were not disappointed! Our sandwiches were absolutely jammed with meat, so much so that I took my chips to go. Good food and friendly people, but not much to look at, and only a few tables inside. We definitely will be visiting again!“
“This place has been in service for years. You just pull into a parking spot and they will come outside to your car and bring your food and take your order it's like old-school diner I love it.As you all know I am not big on meet I'm a vegetarian so if you like to have hot dogs or hamburgers you get that from here. My brother was in town from Florida and he wanted to stop here for lunch so I just had some french fries.But the notorious for their root beer shake“
“The food was great except the little Hispanic cook acted like he didn't want me there he kept asking me why you come here you could go someplace else kind of caught me off guard never happened to me there before and I've been a few times maybe he was just having a bad day? Don't really know“
“The bartender was also our waitress, being that we sat at the bar. She was extremely nice. She kept our orders on point, whether it was the drinks or the food. She was so good, I asked what days she worked to make sure that we would get her again.“
“Absolutely delicious Italian pizza, pasta and entrees! There are so many pizza choices, my favorites were the grilled chicken Caesar salad and the Grandma with a sesame seed crust, soooo yummy! We shared the seafood salad with large shrimp, mussels and tender calamari and the beautiful cold cut platter. The pasta with bolognese was fabulous and so was the chicken francese. They even have gluten free pizza and pasta. Finish with cappuccino and the oh so fresh cannolis and zeppoles. Bring the entire clan as the prices are very reasonable at this wonderful family friendly restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta and pizzaKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly“
“Good food here, most diners have good food and reasonable prices . Breakfast is really good here and burgers i love getting them from here cause they're fat and tasty.Parking: Plenty of parking across the street, it's a small street.“
“this place is a little dated, but the food is amazing. The service is amazing and very honest my wife left her phone there and our server which I’m gonna get her name did the most due diligence I’ve ever seen a person do we got our Phone bank and we will be having Dates there for time to come. Thank you so much for being a human THE VARGAS’S“
“Awesome place for comfort food in New Brunswick. The Mac n cheese bites are awesome. They pair it with a homemade “Big Mac sauce”. The cheese fries were great too, I believe they have their own homemade cheese sauce. Everything is priced in line with what you would expect for a local restaurant. It came to $35 for two people. Parking is a challenge but that’s New Brunswick for you.“
“Food is fantastic !! So much flavor, great portion sizes. Menu is extensive - there's so many options. Service is great ! Everyone is friendly and down to earth. Also the inside has a fun decor - it's elegant but hip. Great place to stop in the Matawan Aberdeen area.“
“I had an overall wonderful experience at Colonial Diner. The food was better than your average diner and the atmosphere was very notable. I spoke to who I believe to be the manager there about the place and he pointed out the original floors and tiles in the building. The diner had a long bar stretched across the building with multiple TVs playing movies. The staff was very friendly and my order was taken and came very quickly. I showed up about a little over an hour before closing and the restaurant did not have many people in there. The parking lot was large and had many spots. I came on a Thursday night and the staff was very quick everything was done almost immediately after sitting down.“

“Pizza Margherita is The Best I’ve ever had in Jersey. Grilled Chicken is delicious. Salad is crisp and fresh. Cheesesteak hot freshly made exactly how I ordered it excellent flavor. Even the French Fries are delicious. The kids enjoyed their Plain Cheese Pie too. Maintenance of Restaurant atmosphere is clean with high standard. Professional friendly staff helped me bring everything to car. Thank you kindly PJ’S!!!“
“First time here. Had slice of Sicilian. Not usually a Sicilian guy but it looked really good. It was fantastic! Light & crispy bottom and crust. Fluffy & light middle. Sauce was delicious! Definitely will be back & definitely recommend!“
“I had to stop by to write this review! I ordered the honey garlic and the honey buffalo chicken wings for the Super Bowl and boy I wasn’t disappointed!!! It was finger licking good and I was so surprised that we had no left overs and our guest was inquiring about this place because it was so good. The wings were cooked to perfection, not hard or burnt under the sauce just a nice crisp that made everything so enjoyable. The owner was super sweet and the round tray that she put everything in was very professional. I’ll definitely be coming back to try some more food on her menu along with the wings. Thank you so much because of you guys my party was a success! I’ll see you again sooner than later.“
“During my commute back from New Brunswick on April 1st, I stopped by White Rose Hamburgers for a meal, despite the day’s drizzle. As I arrived around 10:30 AM, the diner was barely busy. The parking lot had only a couple cars: If I had driven here then would have been ample space. From the outside, the place looked considerably plain, for a Manno-produced dining car (it was likely bricked with stucco)---the interior, in which clean stools and countertops lined the walls, was not much different, though there was a plethora of mid-late 1900s memorabilia for decoration. As soon I walked in, the two staff manning the counter and grill asked what I wanted; there were many regulars who already knew, though I wasn't one of them.I ordered a large coffee, Cali cheeseburger, and fries, which cost ~$15. I took a seat at the main counter (only 2 seats there), and only a couple minutes afterward was my meal ready. The coffee was standard, but the burger and fries are to die for---this burger is the type that melts beautifully. The meat synthesizes with the rest of the ingredients to create a harmonious sensation of flavor with each bite, equally juicy and savory in tandem with sour sweetness. The fries were especially crispy, with an audible crunch in each bite; their only downside was the amount of salt I put on them. Though pricy, it is impossible to go wrong with burger and fries at White Rose.“
“I love this place. The food is always fresh and good and reasonably priced. It is very similar to another restaurant I like in Red Bank which advertises that they offer thirty burgers. I’m not sure if this place has 30c but they have a lot.Staff is very nice.“
“We had the fajitas and it was really really good , they were also nice enough to honor our 20% discount from Yelp once I checked in . They have a nice variety of beers and the menu looks good , maybe we will try some other items next time . Service was good , the only thing I didn't like much was the vibe in the place , that was a bit blah !“
“It was amazing it was slow but the a Brazilian my self I loved it burgers as big as the plate the service was good and there were tvs to keep company amazing ?Parking: It was street parking but still amazingKid-friendliness: They were all nice and slowly talked to us and we ate in peace“
“Great place, great staff, excellent food. Eight 11 year old wild boys loved it. Kid meals were not at all skimpy, filled them up good. More than one said how great the chocolate cookie was. I called and pre-ordered and they had everything ready after 2 hours at Rock & Air. I have ZERO complaints. Thank you Stewarts!!!!!Kid-friendliness: See my review....“
“Possibly the best plain slice I've had in a while. It's light, crispy and compliments the sauce. I highly recommend Cristo's Pizza and grill.Next on my list is trying their specialty pizza which looked great. I have my eye on the black olive pizza for my next visit.“
“It's a true pub with lots of regulars, the food is pub grub . The corned beef and cabbage was good. The Shepherd's pie, not great. Too much mashed potatoes . No fancy drinks. Sometimes good and varied music. They had Irish this time for St Patrick's Day. Everyone friendly & having a good time.“
“Never knew this place was so close. Went there today for St. Patrick specials. All I can say totally awesome food the flavors are perfect. Mariselle hoping I spelled it right was THE BEST... she made me feel welcomed and like family.. THANK YOU for the coffee while I waited. HANDS DOWN MY NEW PLACE TO GO. if in area stop by... very comfortable and totally clean setting.“
“First time at 30 burgers & Mike's subs and was not disappointed,great burgers,fries was done great,will eat there frequently for sure,try it will and You will feel the same I do about it for sureParking: Won't have a issue plenty of space“
“We recently had a party and I can’t say enough about the manager, Jose and the overall staff. We originally booked the party room, but once our numbers exceeded the room limit, we were able to use part of the restaurant. They were extremely accommodating about everything. The food was very good and they allowed us to make changes to the menu without an issue. I Iwould also recommend the restaurant for an excellent meal.“
“Ray made my experience at Applebee’s a 5 star visit with his quick service and knowledge of the menu he helped me to order the ribs which were really good im definitely gonna get them again I can’t wait to come back thank you Ray and staff“
“Had the brooklyn square....very close in taste and texture to L&B which is rare in a clone of this type....only downside was the slice was sitting around a while and was kind of dry. I saw a fresh pie come out of the oven and it looked great. Sfincione slice was also very “
“I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at this burger restaurant! The limited seating created a cozy atmosphere, and the quality of the burgers was outstanding. The friendly staff and quick service made it a delightful visit. Highly recommend!“
“Family owned and operated diner. Clean and quiet with very good atmosphere. As per usual NJ diners, you can find the regular fare like French Dip and Gyros. Always good to 'Disco' the fries (melted cheese and gravy). For a Sunday, it was a bit slow.“
“Always a great time. Food is always good as well. The burgers are awesome as are the wings & bar pie. Bingo & DJ Monday nights and DJs, Thursday & Fridays as well w/kareoke. Good place to watch the football games too. Highly recommend.“
“I go to Panini Bistro all the time for their AMAZING Salads! That’s why I’m rating this place 5 stars. Their salads are by far the best in the area! My 2 favorites are the Pear & Goat Cheese and the Beet Salad. The candied walnuts that are in the salad are delicious! The salads are always fresh and so delicious. They don’t skimp on any of the ingredients. The salads come with fresh bread that’s amazing! I also tried their mushroom and Swiss burger that was very good! The brioche bun for the burger melted in my mouth. The eggplant and mozzarella panini I though was good, but I wouldn’t order that particular panini again. It tasted a little plain for my taste. I think their fries ok and could be better. Overall, I love Panini Bistro for their amazing bread and salads. I look forward to try more of their Paninis. I highly recommend Panini Bistro in Matawan!“
“I usually order the Italian cheeseburger, which is exceptionally good! It's more of a take out than dine in, but there are tables outside to eat in nice weather. Location is close to a laundromat, dry cleaners, and Rite Aid, so it's great for a quick bite while your doing your wash or filling a prescription. There are also many nail salons on the street.“
“I do not eat a lot of meat, so I'm picky about my hamburgers. If I am going to eat a Hamburger, it needs to worth it. This is my favorite local place to get a delicious burger. I usually get the Napa because it has fig jelly, Bleu cheese, sauteed oniins, and lettuce. I like my burgers rare, amd they actually cook it rare. It is moist amd perfectly seasoned. The brioche bun is always fresh. My friend ordered onion rings on this particular trip. I tried them, and they were good. I do not eat a lot of deep fried foods, though.They have great milkshakes here, too.“
“The food is always delicious! Depending on the time you go, you might find allot of college kids, young professionals, or just riff raff from the city that might be asked to leave or just hang out in the restaurant. They have late night ? ? hours.“

“Tried this place for the first time for dinner and it was great! It’s clean and there’s lots of seating inside. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and made sure we were satisfied! I had the birria tacos and the flan and they were both delicious!! I definitely want to come back and try their other food!“
“I am a trans member of the LGBTQ community and when I picked up lunch here I was treated like every other customer. With respect and good service which is all any of us should ask. The food was great. Thin crust eeewwy gooey cheese with just the right amount of that orangish oil that boils to the surface and makes it so yummy. Recommended highly!“
“The restaurant's ambiance was warm and welcoming, creating a comfortable setting for a gathering with friends and family. Very practical location being next to the mall itself. The menu offered a wide range of American classics, ensuring there was something for every palate. My server Kevin, was very attentive and friendly service complemented the overall enjoyable atmosphere, making our dining experience at Applebee's a delightful one. He recommended the Triple Cheese Penne Pasta which was perfectly cooked and came with generous portions of flavorful alfredo and chicken making it a highlight of my meal. It's a place where great food and a welcoming environment come together seamlessly.“
“Great burger, 9 out of 10 at least. Side of "seasoned tots" is misleading and were not worth it, they're just plain home fries. Avoid getting a lettuce bun or "tots" if you're doing takeout - they will be too soggy to be any good by the time you get home.“
“Stopped here for dinner before a show at the Starland Ballroom. Plenty of parking and a ton of tables. Has an old-school Italian feel to it. Huge menu with a lot of classic dishes. Served warm bread before the meal with the option of olive oil and butter. They had a peach sangria special that was excellent. I tried the lobster raviolis and was pleasantly surprised. These weren’t your typical store bought pre-frozen raviolis. No sir. Fresh made and stuffed with lobster. The chicken Murphy was enough for two people! Amazing. Rest assured, next time I’m at the Starland I will be stopping back here before the show.“
