“Excellent food great service never disappoints highly recommend“

“They have great bloody Mary’s. Bloody Flight was a great choice to try all types they offer. Food was excellent and came out fast. Definitely recommend and will go back“

“Amazing food. Had hummus shareable platter. Fresh ingredients and tasted amazing!!“

“We came at 6 p.m. ,put our name in and were told we had a 20 min. wait. After 20 min. I went to check and was told then that there were reservations ahead of us that had to be seated. If we had been told this we wouldn't have waited. We found this very rude and unprofessional and we will not be choosing sara janes again.“

“I called ahead and the hostesses helped me get my elderly Mom seated with zero wait. That meant a lot. The waiter was very attentive and the menu is second to none. I really appreciated the entire experience.“

“My wife and I had Sunday brunch. I had the bulgogi skirt steak with kimchi. The steak was perfectly cooked to medium/medium rare and delicious! The kimichi was good, and the spicy cucumbers were excellent. My fried egg was cooked exactly to order. My wife had the portobello sandwich which she really enjoyed. We got the Bloody flight and all four were really tasty and very interesting. It was a busy afternoon, but our service was still fantastic, and our food was out promptly. I highly recommend Project PUB!“

“Just spent St. Patrick's Day here. Live music, step dancers, amazing bag pipes, incredible food and a great price. They really shamrocked it this year. Our waiter was outstanding too!“

“A group of us went for dinner on a Saturday night. The place was empty. Before we even had a chance to order, the owner came over and asked us who we were planning to vote for. Really?? He began talking politics. We were polite but he truly put a damper on our night out. I don't care what party you support, pushing your politics on customers you don't know is offensive and bad business! Reading other reviews on Google, I see he's done this to others. We won't be returning and will spread the word to avoid going there.“

“The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were warm and welcoming. A great place to grab a quick bite!“

“So glad we have a place like Uncle Tanks in town! My favorite local go to.“

“We recently had my daughter’s soccer team lunch here on a Sunday afternoon. I spoke with the manager on duty the evening prior and it couldn’t have gone smoother. We had the whole top floor to ourselves. Service was amazing as was the food. We sometimes have issues splitting checks because the girls want to sit together away from their parents but they handled it with ease. I’m still dreaming of the delicious ice cream that was the cherry on top of a great experience.“

“Excellent food and cocktails.“

“The only thing that made a rain delay on the tarmac at Newark. Somewhat enjoyable“

“Visited this spot recently and was really impressed by the food – every dish was flavorful, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere is fantastic too: welcoming, stylish, and perfect for a night out with friends or a date night.

Unfortunately, the experience at the bar fell way short of the rest of the restaurant’s standards. The bartender (older white woman, working the Sunday lunch shift) seemed completely disengaged – no interest in recommendations or craft, and the $15 “custom” cocktails felt like an afterthought. Cheap ingredients and absolutely no effort in presentation or taste. For a place with such high-quality food, it was disappointing to watch someone lazily throw together drinks that tasted like they came from a bargain bin mixer.

If the bar matched the effort coming out of the kitchen, this place would be an easy five stars. Until then, come for dinner – just skip the cocktails.“

“Great service and the food and drinks were delicious 💕“

“Excellent food and service. Our staff holiday luncheon has been held there for years. The staff gets a choice - and their choice every years is to continue to go there!“

“Multiple beautiful seating options: outdoor patio, inside, and outdoor canopy room. Food is great and plated beautifully. They take Gluten free allergies very seriously and have never had any allergy issues here. Chef is amazing and the staff is nice and attentive. Great staple place!“

“This place was amazing! We came for dinner and a night of entertainment and we weren't disappointed anyway. Only two bartenders the house was packed and everyone was ordering food. The bartenders running the food and the drinks very very quickly. The glasses were never empty. We will definitely be back here!!“

“We have been to the Pluckemin Inn several times over the years and as always the service was outstanding. I had the swordfish while my girlfriend had the salmon and we shared a tuna pokey appetizer. All dishes were excellent and prepared perfectly. We shared a dessert, plucky cake, this is where it fell short. This was below average at best. A little bit dry and the buttercream frosting was not creamy at all, but rather stiff and a bit dry as well. The cake tasted as though it was left over from a few days earlier.“

“Great food, great atmosphere. Family owned and they make you feel like family. I was in town and stopped by because it was my dad’s favorite place to eat and do car shows before he passed. Tania and Paul came and talked with me I felt like we were all family. They knew so much about him. Made my day knowing how loved he was. Thank you.“

“Wonderful food - especially the sushi and duck - and incredible service. With thanks to John, Andres, and Tim for a fantastic evening. Already looking forward to our next visit

Parking: Free parking right across the street or you can valet“

“Beautiful ambiance but the food and service were both terrible. Waitress was not attentive and food was truly inedible (salmon crudo, miso salmon entree, sea bass entree). A shame because it really is a great atmosphere. This was our third time and have learned our lesson. It wasn't a one off“

“I was driving by on my way to another restaurant, and DIG caught my eye - I ended up stopping in for dinner (got the avo grain bowl with salmon) and am so glad I did! They have a variety of hot & cold, fresh, made to order options that are light and bursting with flavor. Menu is very well priced and I appreciate the ability to make your own, as well as picked from some of the chef curated options. Also appreciate the cups of water available. I’ll certainly be back & hope they expand to other locations (especially in northern bucks county PA)!“

“Chargrilled not fried ! Everything here is fresh & made to order. Our family has.been going here since they opened in the 1980’s. Everything is excellent!“

“As a local DJ entertainer, the Landing has become a venue in which we perform quite regularly. The staff is always welcoming, professional, and accommodating and truly understands the catering business and what it takes to throw an exceptional celebration. It's always a pleasure to work alongside and partner with them for our shared client events. The food is excellent and prices are reasonable.“

“I highly recommend this place the parking at church street was convenient a 2 minute walk around the corner , the foods and drinks were top notch delicious and refreshing, if your ever looking to go out on a date night this is the place“

“We were there today with 3 adults and 7 kids ages 3-9. The staff is always wonderful but they were especially patient and sweet today. We love coming here on the train for lunch!!“

“They make good burgers and fries. If you like fish, they have some varieties here too.“

“Stopped in by accident and discovered a goldmine. Driving home to Connecticut, I exited 287 to take a break from rush hour. Nothing like a Buffalo pizza to calm the nerves. I was greeted by a friendly host. I requested a seat at a high top in the bar area , so I could people watch and glance at the game on one of the many tvs. I had a great server , his name was Todd. He explained the menu and walked me through the various pizza selections. He not only knew the menu , he was excited discussing the food. I ordered a Buffalo Pie, it was unbelievable. I wish I saved room for dessert , because the choices seemed so delicious. Next time I’m going through town I will definitely come back“

“Food n drinks were delicious, very good music with a fun , energetic and laid back atmosphere“

“Went on Saturday July 5 - restaurant was pretty empty. Great service from Jessica. Had the parm encrusted fish and wife had roasted chicken. Food was excellent - fish was a large portion and really prepared very nicely. French Onion Soup very well done, too. First time there - will return.“

“I attended a wedding here last weekend and it was by far the fanciest and one of the nicest weddings I've ever attended. This particular wedding had a huge spread of appetizers for the happy hour time followed by a full course dinner, so we tried a wide range of food served here. Everything served was off the charts good. The service was first class and the atmosphere was very beautiful and high end. The scenic view of the valley during fall out back was lovely as well! I'd recommend this location to anyone based on the excellent service, great food, and lovely atmosphere.“

“The service is always friendly. The food is tasty and plentiful. Jo (the supervisor) and her team are always attentive to the customers. Jo is very communicative and pleasant, she makes us feel at home. This is a place to come back to again and again. My husband and I loved it.“

“Love the appetizers and the great bourbon selections“

“Coming here for years. Some food items have gone down in quality, namely the pork chop and mac and cheese. Pork chop used to be really cooked to perfection and moist, however lately it has been dried out and overcooked. Mac and cheese lost the amount of cheese it usually has on it, and noodles were undercooked the previous two times. Must have changed the cooks in kitchen, who knows.“

“Woody's Cafe has truly become a staple in my daily routine. The shining star of this campus eatery is the daily sandwich selection. Without fail, each sandwich is a mouthwatering delight, and the array of choices is nothing short of impressive. Whether you're in the mood for a classic club sandwich, a veggie-loaded wrap, or something more exotic, Woody's has you covered. To accompany your meal, you'll find a well-rounded selection of beverages that cater to all tastes.While the quality of the food is undeniably outstanding, I've encountered one small hiccup during my visits: the occasional long checkout line. It's a testament to Woody's popularity, but it can be a bit inconvenient during busy hours. However, this minor inconvenience is quickly forgotten when you step into the spacious and impeccably clean eating area. With ample seating and a spotless environment, you can truly savor your meal without distractions.What makes Woody's Cafe shine even brighter is its dedicated and friendly staff. The team always goes the extra mile to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of excellent. From taking your order with a smile to promptly addressing any special requests, they make every visit a pleasure.In addition to its culinary offerings, Woody's has managed to create an inviting and cozy atmosphere that's perfect for a quick bite, a casual study session, or catching up with friends. The cafe's warm ambiance is complemented by tasteful decor and ample natural light, creating an environment that encourages relaxation and focus.In conclusion, Woody's Cafe is not just a place to grab a sandwich; it's an experience. With an extensive menu, friendly staff, and a clean and welcoming space, it's a go-to spot for anyone on campus. While you may occasionally have to contend with a line, the reward of a delicious meal and a comfortable atmosphere is well worth it. I wholeheartedly recommend Woody's Cafe for its delightful food and the overall positive dining experience it offers.“

“My stay at Delta Hotels by Marriott Basking Ridge was delightful, but the true gem was their restaurant! Forget overpriced hotel dining - this spot offered delicious, affordable dishes that surpassed any outside option. From the serene atmosphere (thanks to the smaller crowd) to the attentive service and delicious food, every aspect impressed. The hot buffet breakfast was a lifesaver - delicious, varied, and budget-friendly. Skip the tourist traps and treat yourself to this hidden gem. Your taste buds will thank you!“

“We’ve dj’ed here countless times and also played plenty of golf there. I love the staff and venue. Chris and his crew really know how to run a great event nice and smooth. I Highly recommend it and the food is also great! Can’t go wrong with choosing Roycebrook.“

“I came here with my husband. Drinks were great. He ordered a Caesar salad and I ordered their Hot Nashville Chicken sandwich. My husband laughed because I had no idea that Nashville hot meant HOLY HOT lol. But I was not disappointed. This was the juicy, best chicken sandwich I'd had anywhere that I can recall in my 32 years.. And I worked in food service for 13 years. The service was also phenomenal. There was a rowdy bunch of younger ones at the bar that eventually got asked to leave. But she kindly let us know that we were welcome to move our table if we so desired. We are definitely coming back again.“

“Philip V (“Phil”) makes dining in such a delight. His witty insights and professionalism made us feel right at home, checking in regularly but never intrusively. I’m personally very grateful for him informing that the peach tea we ordered comes with free refills! My partner and I are appreciative of the great value and for the Phil’s Oliver Twist references!“

“Haven’t been in a while but glad we came back. Huge portions and everything was delicious! Staff was very friendly and it’s a very welcoming atmosphere. And if you like onion rings, this is the place to get them! We will definitely return when we’re in the area!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience at Ninety Acres! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing, making it the ideal spot for a special night out. A huge thank you to Andres, who took such great care of us. His attention to detail, knowledge of the menu, and friendly personality truly elevated our dining experience. He made excellent recommendations, and every dish was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. Between the outstanding service, incredible food, and gorgeous setting, this is easily one of the best dining experiences we've had. We will definitely be back—and we'll be asking for Andres!“

“Love this place, food is amazing ! Atmosphere is fantastic ! Staff is first class ! They Rock !“

“Erin is a Wonderful waitress. She has one of the Greatest personalities in this location. She always takes great care of me and my family and friends. I always enjoy coming here when she is here. The management here in this location is also wonderful but I be around.“

“First time dining at 22 West. We met up with friends for dinner. It was a great evening for adults and kids. Our server was really nice and attentive. She didn’t rush us either. Menu is extensive and has something for everyone for food and drinks.“
