Restaurants in South Orange

“Had the pleasure of eating at Giorgio"s last night before a show at SPAC. Service was outstanding, menu explained and food was excellent. From our salad, entree and desert everything was outstanding. I highly recommend it but please not before a show I may now get a reservation again.”

“First and foremost. Do not order from Uber eats. I saved about 10$ against Uber pickup order, and about $20 from delivery not including tip. The saved money went to spending more here. You pay more for each item on Uber eats.

The food was fresh greatly seasoned (could use more season on the jerk chicken gyro) and the falafel was fried near perfect.

The service was great. Called in the order took my time getting there in about 10 minutes and was ready immediately. I wasn’t expecting it to be but I was happy.

The strawberry twist to the banana pudding was a great hit. Just wished for a little more strawberries. I wished I took photos because all of the food was visually pleasing. The food was so good I ate a container of Jerk chicken over rice with extra meat by myself. Within 45 minutes. I usually can’t eat like that in one sitting.

Also wished for more white sauce dipping cups for the amount of falafel that was bought.

Otherwise it’s a great gem. I hate to say it but I live next to a few restaurants and did not want to try it because of the feedback. As much as I am used to a $10 plate, here was money well spent. Cost about $50 2 drinks, jerk chicken Gyro, 10pc falafel, jerk chicken over rice platter with extra chicken, and a banana pudding.”

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement”

“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!”

“1st time enjoying these specialty patties and 5 STARS. I will definately be back. The mild Oxtail is YUPP!. I cant explain the feeling and taste, you need to experience it. Get there before me.”

“Incredible family-oriented bakery. One of a kind! Both parents have been educated and trained in the culinary arts for over 20 years, which is so impressive. I can’t wait to see how successful their three daughters become!”

“We ordered my son’s birthday cake from SOMA Sweets about a month ago, and the entire experience exceeded expectations. Steve managed to bring my 5-year-old’s very specific “Venom cake” vision to life on short notice, and it came out better than we imagined.

He also partnered with another great local business, Bakes By Izzy, to make it happen. The cake looked incredible and tasted even better.

If you’re looking for an amazing custom ice cream cake, these are your people.”

I had the chicken wrap with seasoned fries. It was very flavorful. It was made to order. I also had an amazing smoothie!.

I would go back over and over again!. Make sure to check out this beautiful café!.”

“Everything awesome, the phone service, the checkout service, parking, quality of the food and the prices. Best sloppy Joe in NJ!!!”

“so today was my first day going to this lovely local bakery, and I tried the chocolate croissant. This chocolate croissant was so chocolatey and so delicious. every single bite had chocolate in it. It was more dense than like a traditional French chocolate croissant, but if you want a chocolate croissant That is super chocolatey. This is the place to go.”

“great food. friendly atmosphere”

“So the ambiance and atmosphere here super dope and the staff is accommodating and very friendly however it just seems that there understaffed. Drinks took a bit long and when they came out they weren’t the right ones which was comped. Then they forgot an item we ordered for desert and accidentally threw away my food that I asked for to go. The server caught this mistake and comped us a whole pie but when I opened the box it’s a complete different pie.. so slightly disappointed there but I don’t think it’s the staffs fault I blame management. Aside from that tho Luke who was one of the servers was very polite and accommodating this place needs more Luke’s !”

“Food is always great and on time”

“classic local spot. delicious beef patty and other dishes . beef cheese coco was $4 , cant get hot food cheaper. anyone hating on J&Js is an enemy of the community fr”

“Great food, great prices, great service!!! I will definitely be returning.”

“Great feel to the new space! Very open and inviting. I had a tasty iced mocha coffee and a peach danish today. Delicious.”

“I had an amazing experience at this authentic Costa Rican restaurant! The service was excellent, and the main dishes were delicious, especially the famous "Gallo Pinto" (I'm addicted). I highly recommend trying their Tacos Ticos or their Casado. They also have great drink options, including traditional coffee and natural juices.”

“Great price, nice size, clean & friendly.”

“The sandwiches were good, as always; but, when you order online with specific instructions and they are not followed to the letter, then it’s not good. If you order wheat bread and you get white bread, that’s not cool; and then you order your bacon on the side of another sandwich, and you don’t get any bacon at all, that’s not cool!
Will I stop eating Jersey Mike’s Subs, Naah. The family members whose sandwiches arrived incorrect, well, yeah, can’t really speak for them.”

“Everything this place touches turns to deliciousness. From the coffee they serve to the sandwiches and wraps. This place is a class act! 😉”

“I have eaten nearly all types of fast food burgers. But these guys make them all look and taste horrible!!! Meat had flavor!!!! Real flavor!!!! The toppings on my burger were fresh, delicious and crunchy!!! The quality was on point and they are quick too!!! I’m a new regular customer for life now!!!!”

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

“Great neighborhood spot! Everyone who works here is kind/helpful and there’s a great laid back atmosphere with plenty of TVs. Plus the pizza and buffalo chicken fingers are really good!”

“What I ordered I did not get Didn’t bother to read special instructions they gave me stuff I do not eat Shrimp Lo Mein No Onions or Beansprouts is what I ordered sub carrots and peas this is the crap I got”

“I always stop in for slices”

“The jerk shrimp and scallop appetizer was absolutely amazing. I will most definitely be revisiting this place frequently.”
