“Great place for pizza and chicken rolls! I have also tried Albanian burek they serve, which was amazing! Highly recommended!”

“The best chili dogs we have found. Accommodating to my husband's crazy ideas and also the best party catering idea ever. Kid wanted hotdogs and chicken fingers for her graduation party and Joe put together the perfect package for us. thanks for everything!”

“Had to make a visit at Taco Stop Llc in Rt 35 and I was really hungry. Ufffffff - Pork chops I haven’t had in a while and can you believe D Cesiah Jimenez Burgos, owner made ‘tostones’ and of course the chips with guacamole 🥑. Sent my wife in Florida the pictures. Sorry babe. It was AMAZING! TACO STOP, THE PLACE TO GO WHEN YOU’RE ON THE GO! Recommended 100%+ You won’t regret it!”

“Ordered dinner for the first time since the changes to the ingredients I have been seeing on your social media videos. My family and I are speechless. WELL DONE GUYS!!! We ordered the Jersey Square Pie and we all agreed that this is now our new favorite pizza. The crust was crispy, the sauce was phenomenal and the burata was delicious. I also ordered the Cooper Cheesesteak and it was head and shoulders above any other cheesesteak I have ever had. I had ordered a cheesesteak from you years ago and was not a fan, now I will not go anywhere else for a Cheesesteak. While we were waiting for the food to cook we tried a plain slice and while I have always liked your Plain Pies, the new ingredients have taken it to the next level. The thinner sourdough crust was crispy, the sauce was so much more flavorful and less salty and the cheese was cooked to perfection. All in all Amanos has always been a good in town pizza place but with the changes it has become THE only pizza place to go to from now on. Again Bravo Guys, WELL DONE!!”

“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.”

“OMG... Thank goodness a true Diner has arrived! Moved to Morgan's Bluff 4 yrs ago and I was so disappointed with the Ocean diner. If you can't make a good breakfast or a decent hamburger, you're useless to me as a diner! Guiseppe and son Sergio have already made a name for themselves by serving awesome tasting food in abundance, great service in an immaculate and friendly environment. Love the way they come to each table to see if all is good...making you feel comfortable like they've known you forever!! Keep up the good work. Buena fortuna!”

“Fernandes Steakhouse III – A Carnivore’s Paradise If you're searching for a dining experience that blends indulgence with authentic Brazilian flair, look no further than Fernandes Steakhouse III. Nestled in a cozy yet vibrant setting, this gem offers a Rodizio-style dining adventure that redefines what it means to eat out. From the moment we were seated, the atmosphere buzzed with energy — a mix of sizzling meats, clinking glasses, and the rhythmic flow of gaucho servers weaving through tables with skewers in hand. The Rodizio special is the star of the show: an all-you-can-eat feast where expertly grilled meats are carved tableside, offering both spectacle and satisfaction. Each cut was a showcase of flavor. Juicy picanha (top sirloin cap) came seared to your perfection, with a rich, buttery texture that melted in the mouth. The beef cheesesteak was lightly seasoned, oozing with cheese, while the lamb chops were tender and herbaceous — a standout that had our table eagerly waiting for seconds. Sausages, bacon-wrapped filet mignon, chicken wings, and pork ribs, each bite telling a different story of smoke, spice, and succulence. Equally impressive was the curated sides, rice, fries, crisp hearts of palm, vinegary cucumber salad, and warm bread provided balance and brightness to the meat-forward menu. The feijoada (black bean stew) and fried plantains added a comforting, home-cooked dimension. Service was swift and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The staff ensured our plates were never empty, and our preferences for doneness were always met with a smile. Whether you’re a seasoned Rodizio enthusiast or a first-timer looking to elevate your dinner plans, Fernandes Steakhouse III delivers a flavorful journey worth every bite — and every return visit. Final Verdict: Atmosphere: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Food Quality: 5/5 Value: 4.5/5 Overall Rating: 4.8/5 – A must-visit for meat lovers and food adventurers alike.”

“Great date spot. Food is good, drink are on point and the atmosphere is perfect.”

“Went to listen to DJ Earl 10/4/25, had a GREAT night. Atmosphere, drinks, food & service were all 5+ stars. Its a really nice little spot. I look forward to going back...hopefully to hear DJ Earl again!!!”

“it’s nice to choose a local shop when in the area. My dad hasn't eaten much, but ate the half Italian sub when we dined and chatted with the owner. love this place.”

“After spending a month in Vietnam, including time in Da Nang (my favorite city), this restaurant always brings me back the country! My girlfriend and I have eaten here a few times and the food is consistently delicious. The Bun Cha is exceptionally tasty. For anyone who loves Vietnamese food, you need to come here.”

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

“Went for dinner last night. Second time and food was really good. Prices reasonable. I’m new to Nj. I love the BYOB. Definitely will be back. Walked next door to listen to some music at Blue Moon after. Nice night out”

“10/22/25 - Lunch time! Of course, that means pizza at least once a week. Today's visit was to a place called Pronto Pizzeria & Restaurant in South Amboy, NJ. \n\nIf I didnt have Google Maps, I probably wouldn't have found this place. It's on Rte 9 you say? Yes, it is. Should be easy to find, right? Well, no. If you are on the Rte 9 Southbound side, you are on the correct side. But note, you CANNOT see this pizzeria from Rte 9. There are several restaurants and stores in front of it. It is in a back row of stores next to the Rte 9 Farmer's Market. (I didn't know this farmers market existed until today.) Due to location, I think Pronto may only be known to the locals and the patrons of the Farmer's Market. And that's a shame because the pies are excellent. \n\nI ordered one plain slice and one Sicilian slice. The plain was excellent. Abundant premium mozzarella cheese, tangy sauce and flavorful Italian seasonings make this a wonderfully tasty local slice that's worth your time. The outer crust and undercarriage were both crispy and delicious. There's just a slight limpness but the slice does stand at attention with a small fold of the outer crust which also prevents the toppings from sliding off. The Sicilian slice was even better. Great Sicilian flavor with all of the aforementioned attributes mske this slice a show stopper. No limpness at all. One notable observation is for Sicilian pizza it's not thick at all. But the flavor is so good, it's forgivable. The crust is extremely crispy and unlike any Sicilian crust I've sampled in this area. But dont let this stop you from ordering one or a dozen.\n\nWith the odd location, this place is the very definition of a hidden gem. They have their own way of doing pizza here but it doesn't make the pizza any worse than its competitors. I'd recommend you give them shot to see for yourself. It is definitely worthy of your time and money.... if you can find it. 😃 \n\nOverall Rating : A”

“greate food , good place and people”

“Such a great little place!”

“Such a welcoming and friendly spot”

“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!”

“The only negative I have (and it’s a big one and has happened 4-5 times now), I order no onion in my pepper steak and they add a $2 extra meat fee. I didn’t ask for extra meat to compensate for lack of veggies , and I don’t like it added without it being acknowledged or even approved/denied.. really not okay with that decision being made without my knowledge of it and will say something next time..

However when it comes to the food? Do it. Our usual orders are a some kind of mix of chicken&broccoli, pepper steak, boneless ribs, sesame chicken, fried wontons… everything has been great every time. One of the “better “ meats when it comes to both the chicken and the beef.. delivery is uncomfortably fast at times lol. Prices are average to anywhere else around here but the portions are great. Would definitely reccomend.”

“Highly recommend! Nothing not to like!!! Perfect and Quaint w/all you can look for in a neighborhood establishment: Touch Tunes, Pool Table, Darts, Very Reasonable $, Amazing Draft Specials, Friendly Atmosphere and Of Course Service w/ a Smile, Smile, Smile 😊!”

“Amazing staff and spirits selection. They also have amazingggg food and bread! Cant go wrong! Try the macaroni salad, and pasta salad!”

“Recently came to perform at the drag brunch for Chixx in Sweethearts Cabaret, nothing short of fantastic and stunning. The owners were so incredibly respectful, they provided such a safe space for performers to get ready and relax between sets, aswell as bringing such a fantastic and fun environment (and tasty drinks and food might i add)! i can’t wait to come back to either perform or just watch the shows here, i highly recommend you come if you ever have the chance 🫶🏻”

“Not only is the food good, but the free psychological counseling Carol provides is absolutely priceless! I love this place.”

“pizza is delish. been coming here for years never a disappointment”

“Such pleasant people at the window food was hot very happy I stopped by here. I'm not from around here and to be able to stop with no line go right in and get your food hot I'm very happy.”

“GREAT PEOPLE. FRIENDS UNITY CHARITY”

“picked up a toogoodtogo order. price of the items were originally$18 , discounted to $6. items were a pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich, a bag of chips and a soda. if that is regularly $18, then their food is WAY over priced. I'm also about 20-25 minutes away. definitely wasn't worth my time or the distance traveled. I will not be reordering the discounted food. and if that is their regular price, then they are way overpriced so I will not go for regularly priced food.”

“The bar maids were great and the dancers were gorgeous and friendly”

“Very pleasant Dunkin. Plenty of parking available in front. Clean, spacious interior with comfortable, well-spaced seating. Service was quick and efficient. Coffee was hot and fresh and prepared perfectly. ♿️”
