“Trifecta great food great service great atmosphere“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Affordable & Yummy: I’ve been here twice for lunch and once for breakfast. Very happy with all three meals. My special tip: try one of their Costa Rican dishes. Amy and I had seafood soup lunch; my favorite so far here. Really excellent. My wife liked it as well, large portion we had to bring some of it home. The seafood tasted fresh and the spicing was memorable. Excellent broth. ($17) I also had a breakfast. Sort of an American scrambled eggs, kind of breakfast and it was good ($7:50). Potatoes were outstanding. Yummy freash coffee. My second lunch was the Costa Rican style tacos, which were very good. First time I’ve had that. I had took a photo which I’ll put on the review. Came with french fries which were nicely done. ($12:50) Service all three times so it was excellent. Restrooms clean. The inside has a old-time diner look to it. Cleary was probably diner for a long time. They still maintain a more American traditional diner menu in addition to the Costa Rican themed dishes. It was a nice surprise for Amy and Foundmourselves in Somerville, I as we were looking for something downtown. I sat outside for the second lunch and it was great. You’ll see you in the picture. Owners are present. I like the old time diner look. Definitely a bias of mine being a diner guy so I gave him five stars for that🙂 (FYI: You won’t see too many bad reviews from me. I tend to only post reviews of places I like. Also, I only do reviews generally after visiting an establishment three times. I occasionally make exceptions. My first job was in the restaurant kitchen business, and everybody has a bad day.)“

“Best cheesesteaks in Somerset/Middlesex area. Consult with Nick or Maria as to their great selection of cheese, including provolone, Cooper, pepperjack and mozzarella.“

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

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

“Lovely dinner plates at this rustic and comfortable restaurant anchoring an old-school NJ intersection. Fresh oysters. Vegetarian option. Great chilled white wine. Cocktails present. Kind and attentive service. Outdoor bar looked super fun.

Check out the plant growth coming in on the patio for poison ivy!“

“Excellent food and cocktails.“

“I have been going here for many years. They never disappoint. I am so pleased that they offer breadless option and gluten free breads and wraps for most, if not all, of their sandwiches. Great portions. So many choices. Love this place.“

“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.“

“Was here for a soccer tournament and stumbled in from a quick search. Definitely get the wings! The food was overall great and exceeded our expectations. Drafts were cold and good as well. We came on a Tuesday evening so not busy but the bartender was also very friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend“

“Love the appetizers and the great bourbon selections“

“2nd review: Short Rib appetizer was terrific, tuna poke app just ok. Duck was terrible! Burger was really good. Server told us TWICE THAT they were too busy to accommodate some requests. So overpriced. Wont be returning . 1st review:Good food, great wait staff! We will be back“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“My family and I recently stayed at Pendry Natirar to celebrate my birthday, and our experience was truly exceptional thanks in large part to Jeminah at the front desk!
Jeminah went above and beyond to make our stay special. She was incredibly welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. She arranged a beautiful room for us and took the time to ensure that every detail of our stay was perfect. What stood out most was how wonderful she was with our 3 yr old daughter. Her warmth and kindness towards our daughter made a lasting impression on our family.
Not to mention the rest of the staff at the hotel was also super kind and welcoming to us - everyone from the staff opening the front doors, the engineering team when we had a slight glitch in our room, to the staff wandering the lobby there for your needs. Everyone was truly wonderful.
Also we came with our golden retriever, who loved being pet by the staff! Your team even brought up bowls and a dog bed for him - so sweet! Oh and did I mention the food was incredible too?! Just Wow!
Outstanding hospitality is about making guests feel valued and cared for, and Jeminah is a perfect example of that. Because of her exceptional service, my birthday getaway was even more memorable. I hope that Pendry recognizes this individual.
Jeminah, my family and I thank you for making our stay so special. We look forward to returning!!!!!“

“Great food and great drinks, very nostalgic!! Our new favorite place. Josh the bartender was great and Christine the waitress went way out of her way to accommodate us!!!!! Look forward to the next visit“

“This is the best place, OMG just left and had the best meal there. Will definitely go back again!! Food is fresh and healthy!!! Give it a try you won’t be disappointed..“

“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!“

“Got the spicy chicken sandwich and fries and both were really good. The sandwich was crispy and flavorful, and the fries were fresh.. Everything came out fast and the staff were very polite and welcoming. I'll definitely order from here again.“

“Great food, service, and atmosphere. The food is fresh and worth the money. The atmosphere is upscale and modern but comfortable. Our server was Courtney, she was excellent, friendly and attentive. All around a great experience.

We brought our 4 year old, there is a kids menu for those asking.“

“those Rhode Island Wild Goose oysters were superb!“

“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“

“We went to Ruby Tuesdays for a quick Friday dinner and was impressed. While the food and atmosphere was great, our server Christopher Roman was top tier! He was very responsive to our request and did everything with a smile. He had a playful yet professional demeanor that made dinner very enjoyable. He was well informed about menu items and... well overall great. Thanks Chris!“

“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.“

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

“What an amazing restaurant hidden away in the delta hotel in basking ridge. Some of the ABSOLUTE best service I’ve ever had, and the food was insanely good. I was here locally for work and I didn’t bother going to any other restaurant, it was that good. Highly recommended give it a shot and you won’t be disappointed.“

“This place is absolutely special. They have special menus and drink menus every night of the week a great happy hour and fantastic appetizers and entrées. It's a great place to hang out and watch a game or go with your family and eat. The staff is fantastic. 10 out of 10 every day of the week.“

“I like it .. best place ever I like bakra over here😂😂😂😂😂😂😂“

“Redstone has always been my children's favorite place since they were young. Now they love to go when they are home from college because of the nostalgia always makes them feel great and it puts them into the spirit of the Season. Thank you for another wonderful night.“

“With the bar as large as your is, the bartender, Anthony Kovach keeps constant vision on drink levels and show a very high level of customer service.. When in a bar and the bartender is good, I ask them for their name and yell them I appreciate the service.“

“This place is neat! It's also comfy, they have a small patio outside and their food is really good! We went for an event and I kept seeing people picking up pizzas. If I were local, I'd go there for pizza as well. Their bartender was very polite and didn't give me an attitude when I ordered a drink. It's hard for me to remember names, so his patience with my description was very much appreciated. Definitely recommend!“

“Another GREAT meal at Thirsty’s!! Our dinners were absolutely delicious . Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Barbara for the wonderful service!! Jill“

“Shroom burger & tots were awesome. The onion soup is killer. Mikaela took great care of us behind the bar. Will definitely come back.“

“la atención y la comida es exelente“

“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.“

“We visit Applebee's often. We often eat the lunch specials which are a great price and the food very good. Their hamburgers are really good and they allow you to get any side they have instead of fries. They also have 2 for $25 offers, also very good and a great deal. Fast food places cost more these days than their offerings. We go often and love the staff. Erin, Angie, Liz and Julian are the best!“
