“We went to celebrate my hubby birthday and it's first time he is trying seafood boil ? and it was best experienced ever, we had crab leg, shrimp,and crawfish with Cajun sauce and that was so yummy..Yanni was very attentive and instructed us nicely, she is helpful as well for us being first timer..over all, we have best celebration“
“A magnificent service, the waiting time at the time of serving was efficient enough that the 15 minute wait was not felt and last but not least the taste, you could say that the taste is something that reminds you of home, The family sitting and gathering was spectacular, I won't lie, I would say I would come back again.“
“This was my first time here I enjoyed my time here my server’s name was vi she did a great job in making sure my experience delightfully and also had a great sense of humor would definitely come back and ask for the same serverParking: Parking was fine it was finding the place that was difficult but called and they helped“
“I recently visited Wood Stack & Pizza for the first time with a group of friends, and I must say, we were all impressed. The thin crust pizza was a definite standout, with most of us ordering it and loving every bite. The service was also top-notch, adding to the overall positive experience. We had a great time at Wood Stack & Pizza and would definitely recommend it to others looking for delicious pizza in a cozy atmosphere.“
“We had a group of 10 and service was great. We felt like we were personally attended by very polite and friendly waiters and waitresses. Food 2as authentic and scrumscious. Dessert was homemade and unique.Parking: On a Friday night there was parking witjin a block.“
“I gave it 4 stars because I got the all you can eat and the gratuities were already on the bill and I didn't notice until after I got home so I tipped extra. It would be nice if they told you 2 people are automatic gratuity or all you can eat is automatic gratuity. They might be doing this for one person in the union location for all I know!“
“our absolute favorite restaurant almost anywhere. Best described as new American comfort Food with the twist. The chef is phenomenal. The service is also wonderful and attentive. A generous poor of wine. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend.“
“Wonderful birthday dinner with family. The fois gras was amazing. Everyone had different first courses but each one was so enjoyed-including mussels and salad. Main courses were all a treat. Especially the Dover Sole cooked and deboned tableside. So buttery delicious. The evening special of red snapper was excellent. The steak was perfectly prepared as was the chicken with a delicious sauce. Dessert included chocolate mousse - almost as thick as a pot de crème - such an indulgence. The soufflé was a black raspberry which you could smell prior to its appearance at the table. Yum!!!! Always delicious with wonderful service in a pretty dining area.“
“Had a guys night out with 10 friends, the staff was amazing, top notch service. I believe her name was Gina. Made great drinks and great sense of humor. Food was delicious, had the pork chop with pineapple plus some other toppings which now ranks top 2 on my list. Thank you for hosting us. Will be back again very soon.“
“Nugents!! Modern day Cheers!! Where everybody knows your name! Tony! GINA! Kayla! Shelly! Eric! These are thee Absolute best Bar Stars in Elizabeth!!! Service is impeccable always, top tier.. they remember faces and matches it your Order!! Super friendly and this bar becomes sorta like a lil bar family“
“Thank you for not disappointing. My friends and I had a girls' night, and they had not known this existed. They were happy with their meals and impressed with the place.I had been here twice, and the 3rd time was still a charm.Gives the other Cuban places a run for their money.“
“Very kind, we came to visit from Philadelphia and we were delighted with the experience here! The man at the door helped us with the child's car and accommodated us very well and the waiter was equally friendly! 5 stars! Recommended! Thank you“
“Where do I begin. Our visit to the Shannon Rose was outstanding. From the nice young lady at the door to our server Edgar who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. When we arrived Trivia was going on, and it was such a delight watching everyone participating in the game. We arrived wanting drinks to end the night, and The Shannon Rose did night disappoint. Our server Edgar was very kind, and very knowledgeable about what we should order, plus very handsome. Kudos to the bartender the drinks were delish!!!! We will DEFINITELY go back for the Trivia Tuesday and for dinner and drinks. What a fun way to end the evening. I hope that the next visit will be as enjoyable as the last one. We hope to have Edgar as our server. Thank you..Thank you.. Thank you!Parking: Tons of parking space. There are extra spaces at the Target parking lot.“
“Tried to post a review but this place didn't exist on Yelp so decided to add it just to post a review becauseeeeee, I had one of the best airport salads here. We all know airport food isn't great so being that I got a great meal, I had to give them props. I got the brussel sprouts salad and added chicken. The grilled chicken was well seasoned/charred. Salad was low on brussel sprouts but the mixed greens made up for it. Almonds, pomegranate seeds, and craisins were a nice mix. Overall I'm just happy I got a fresh and good tasting salad in good portion size. Still overpriced but what can you do? It's at the airport.“
“Came here for darts. Dart boards are in the back room which is great for the leagues. As each table is for a team. One server for the whole night which was great cause he came by very often. The food they served us wasn't bad at all. I haven't been to the restaurant side of it yet, but it seemed full for a Tuesday night for dinner.“
“Never thought that there is a cool barn in town. My 1st impression was the woodenly rustic environment and decorations bringing the cozy vibe. Food and drinks were perfectly tasty. Our waiter that night was helpful and informative. This spot is voted for one of the most beautiful ones during the Christmas season. Can't wait to come back.“
“I have to say this place is top-notch phenomenal ?. I was here with my family for my birthday and Jon was our server. To start we ordered the wings and Burrata as appetizers OMG delicious. For entrees, we ordered the Tomahawk for my husband and I with hand-cut fries and brussel sprouts and my daughter ordered the Boneless Ribeye with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Every single dish tasted like homemade. For dessert, we had the Tres leches and Tiramisu. Tres leches wasn't too sweet and Tiramisu was on point. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a delicious steak.????? stars in my book ?“
“My boyfriend and I had our first date there in April, and I am pleased to say, we are still together and have returned twice thereafter :) the girls all remember us and are always so great to chat with! I can’t recommend them enough, and their food is to die for! 11/10 would recommend! (Photo is from our first date!)“
“Stopped in to check out the place for a private party. Had a quick fancy drink, that was amazingly delicious! The owner is very friendly and the place is as clean as a whistle! Definitely coming back hereParking: Had to circle around a few times to find parking. Someone left so I was lucky!“
“I love love love Desiree, Gerry, Dan, and Kelly. Such great staff and energy. No matter what kind of day it is, I always feel welcomed. Thank you for being such amazing people! If you’re ever around the area, come by! You won’t regret it <3“
“I have to say I really enjoy The Thirsty Turtle. Although it's a sports bar and you think it might just be cool to watch a game, the food and staff are excellent and professional. We went the other night and met friends for dinner and it was a fantastic experience! The waiter, (I don't remember his name), but he memorized our order and everything came out perfect! We had appetizers, burgers, beer & drinks, and enjoyed everything we ate and drank. I also have to call out Manny who went above and beyond in helping me. He is smart and knows how to treat customers. Any establishment should be lucky to have him!“
“Charley is hands down my favorite restaurant in the Harrison area. From the food, the vibes, to the great cocktails, whatever you choose, you can’t go wrong. Jay behind the bar and Sam on the floor really elevate the experience by providing quality service. 10/10 highly recommend.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Envy Bar and Grille and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The blend of Portuguese and American cuisine on the menu was both unique and delicious. The flavors were a perfect marriage of both cultures.The ambiance of the restaurant was also a standout feature. The cool artwork around the space added a trendy and modern vibe. It was a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.I also want to give a shoutout to our waitress who provided exceptional service throughout our meal. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu.Overall, I highly recommend Envy Bar and Grille for anyone looking for a unique dining experience in Newark. The food, atmosphere, and service all exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning in the future.Parking: No parking lot for the restaurant. Need to find street parking which depending on the day and time you go -is not a problem.“
“I used to frequent the Notch back in my Montclair Days (80's baby!) Rich and I (8 total!) all drove (3 cars!) to Daytona Beach on Spring Break back in 1987 or 88 I forget and he's like the most awesome guy ever and I am glad to see he still is! He said he'd never sell the place and I see they literally re-built around him; everything is new! Way to go Rich you Diamond David Lee Roth sonofagun you! The Great Notch Inn and Montclair State University are the only original landmarks around and I think Rich & The Notch will still be standing long after the college is gone! Well done Sir (clap-clap) well done indeed! Your Old Pal, Not 'sweet Lou'.....Chris!! The ringleader!! PS: 'Phyllis!!!' PSS: Did those queerdos Mark or Tom ever pay you back for like 'taking care of everyone' the entire week?! Those scumbags!! Love you & miss U bro!“
“I recently experienced exceptional service and bartending at a local establishment. The staff, led by skilled bartenders, demonstrated a high level of professionalism and friendliness , to providing attentive service, and the overall experience was top-notch. The ambiance, coupled with the expertise of the bartenders, made for an enjoyable and memorable evening. Highly recommend for those seeking both quality drinks and outstanding service. Mimi is also very lovely , very sweet , one of my favorite Bartenders, her service was outstanding! Definitely coming back“
“Definitely a five star experience!!! We arrived just before happy hour ended (4-5:30) and they were kind enough to place a quick order of oysters!!! They were super fresh and delicious... favs were west coast (sorry NJ). Next, came the Parker rolls!!! Probably my favorite part of the meal, but then again, who doesn't like homemade, freshly baked rolls with buttered top and a touch of salt!!! Because everything looked so good, we opted for a bunch of other appys to start! The New Zealand angus beef bites were served with horseradish aioli and a Parker roll, the halloumi cheese was accompanied by orange slices, prosciutto, radicchio and dehydrated olives. The octopus was spectacular... crispy with romanesco sauce, fried chickpeas, cilantro and paprika breadcrumbs. Of course, we had to also try the OHS mussel pot... with chorizo, saffron, garlic cream, sun dried tomatoes... and an herbed garlic roll on top!!! LOVED THEM ALL! It's not often that so many different, but complimentary flavors are presented in each dish!!! We could have stopped our meals there and would have been pleasantly satisfied and full! Next, we chose a couple of the sirloin sandwiches with fries, and the squid ink pasta with Calabrian chili and Meyer lemon breadcrumbs!!! All was very good. The evening was finished with 3 of their delicious desserts... the lemon meringue tart was the perfect sweet with a pucker. The molten dark chocolate cake was decadent. And the trio of gelatos were each so uniquely flavorful and delicious! Wow!!! Given that 100 steps is a BYOB, it makes everything even more affordable! We had spectacular service in this beautiful restaurant with amazing food! It was quite a special evening!“

“Crab Island exceeded all expectations with their delightful Cajun seafood offerings and exceptional service. Despite high anticipation, every dish surpassed our hopes, bursting with authentic flavors that transported us to the heart of Cajun cuisine. The friendly staff added to the warmth of the experience, offering knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring our every need was met with a smile. From the perfectly seasoned boils to the succulent grilled seafood, every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to quality. Without a doubt, Crab Island stands as a beacon of Cajun culinary excellence, deserving of every praise.“
“Although I experienced a wait of about 40 minutes on a bustling Saturday, the exceptional dining experience that followed made it well worth the delay. From the moment I stepped inside only experienced good things.Our server Leo was knowledgeable, attentive and made great recommendations. The appetizer was amazing, can’t remember the name but will attach a photo. The entries were cooked to perfection I ordered Ensalada de la casa con churrascoFilete de pescado con cangrejo y vegetales.The flavor were bold and authentic, and the portions were generous. I found the price very decent. Top-notch service, exceptional cuisine, and cleanliness - Rumba Cubana truly deserves a 5-star rating. Can't wait to come back!"“
“Was there for a show. Very crowded - in a good way - and busy kitchen. Still managed to seat and serve everyone with courtesy and timeliness. Other patrons very warm and friendly. A great place for an adult night out. Good food, good people, good music.“
“This is a small, very busy restaurant, right around the corner from the Prudential center. We had a Napoleatano Pizza. It was very good. The bartending service was a little slow, but again it was VERY busy right before a sold out concert at the Prudential Center. The atmosphere was very nice, but very tight and very crowded. I can't fault them for any of this. But I will say that our pizza arrived before our drinks, hence the 3 stars for service.“
“I was impressed with this restaurant, we enjoyed the food as well as the ambiance and service. I came for a business lunch. Ate inside the porch area that was enclosed. I thought the service was very good in terms of attentiveness. The food we got was flat bread pizza for appetizer, pepperoni with hot honey was delicious. The burger tasted great cooked perfectly when I ordered a medium, presentation was nice as I ordered a salad instead of French fries. Most importantly they had Aqua Pana for water. I did think the prices were a bit inflated and expensive however their service made up for it.“
“The overall feel and ambiance of this restaurant is definitely Korean-vibes. However, the cost of the food is beginning to really climb over these last handful of years. I have gone to this restaurant a bunch of times prior, and most especially prior to 2020. Yet, noticeably, the cost is rising. Ample parking, though. Quality well cooked/home-cooked Korean food and prompt service. Tasty!“
“My dad first put me on this restaurant by its delicious, fresh takeout food. We'd typically order octopus or whole fish. My parents decided to take us out for our birthday and it was not a disappointment. I felt like I was in Portugal without actually traveling there and it's a home away from home from the moment you walk in.Everyone ordered different entrées and each dish offered a unique, top-quality taste. If you're looking for an authentic Portuguese spot in the Hudson County area, Pic-Nic is your go-to!Vegetarian options: There is a vegetarian option available on the menu.Parking: About 11 or 12 parking spaces and street parking is very difficult given the area.Kid-friendliness: While there is no kids menu, there are few options available for children.Wheelchair accessibility: Whether parked in the lot or on the street, you can easily access the lot, entrance and seating area with a wheelchair.“
“Listen here I went to my niece 16 here and when I tell you I felt like it was the White House lol amazing place, clean and the people are well train to the fact I ask for water and 3 bottles by 3 different people came lol the manager is also very friendly and amazing and hope to have my daughter one here soon thank u“
“So this was a take out order, and we were looking for Comfort Food. We found just that in an order of plain chicken wings and an order of macaroni and cheese. The wings were large, super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, nicely seasoned. The al dente spiral macaroni held onto the generous amount of creamy and yummy cheese sauce. We’ll be ordering it again!“
“I've decided this is my go to bar to bring everyone when we meet up from family, friends, coworkers, day drinking etc. I like the theme nights, bingo, trivia, bands, etc. I want business to go well from them so they open with kitchen & its profitable all week. Foods amazing...good "no mess behaved" atmosphere. My go to place. Bartenders and everyone are nice.“
“This place is fabulous. The food and service amazing - the atmosphere is gorgeous but on a Thursday evening had a number of very very very loud tables so it got hard to hear conversation at ours - but it is NJ so guess to be expected.Street parking or municipal lot only.“
“I can't say enough about the food at Lacey's. Huge family style platters served by friendly staff. You need a big appetite to finish a meal here. A little hard to find parking close by. Parking is limited to the street but well worth the effort. The Thursday Lobsterfest is very good and can get crowded “
“Always love the food here, classic bar food along with some Irish specials and creative fusion dishes. I've never had anything bad from them. Service is always pretty good never had a bad experience. Love coming here with my family for special occasions but the bar scene is pretty popular too if that's more your speed. Highly reccomend!“
“Good food, nothing overly special but solid good bar foodConvenient locationQuick serviceThe sweet potato fries and the vampire tacos were the highlight in my eyesDefinitely recommend especially if you are in the area for a movie night to grab some food before/after“
“This place is amazing not your average dive, upscale, drinks, and some really amazing bites!I absolutely love the wings and the bang bang shrimp so saucy and delicious! And then cheesesteak is a must order! To end it all you must get the jumbo cannoli trust me!“
“Came in recently for a good burger. This place didn't disappoint. One thing that I noticed immediately was that the food served actually looked like the establishment's photos that they posted to Yelp. No bait and switch here. The sides were prepared exceptionally well and the burger was done exactly as I ordered it. I can see there is attention to detail in plating and I appreciated that. The server I had was funny and always available when I needed something. Kudos to a job well done.“
“This was on my list to visit and I was able to do so today. I had dinner there and the steak was good but wish it came out warmer... I think it was waiting for my friend's salmon to be cooked as her food was hotter. The mash potatoes was hot though. The espresso martini was good definitely deserves a return. Service was absolutely excellent. Mauricio was pleasant, personable, and charming also funny.Overall lovely place I would return to, for sure..maybe they have brunch I'll need to check but then again maybe not as it opens at 4 pm.Parking: There is a parking lot but it doesn't look huge and it's across the street from the establishment.. You can do street parking I don't believe I saw any meters.“
“I celebrated my sweet 16 at this restaurant, and the food was absolutely incredible. Though it can be a bit pricey, the quality is worth it. The event room comfortably accommodated 7 to 8 tables, which was perfect for our gathering. The bright ambiance, thanks to the large windows, added to the charm. Additionally, having their own parking lot is convenient, although it can occasionally fill up.“
“I love this place! The waitresses are so cute and friendly and try their best if they aren't fluent in English. They have deals on food and drinks on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Drinks are potent but tasty. The beef empanadas are yummy. I also recommend any of the “
Bar & Grill • $$
“This restaurant is very nice. To start, it's a great place to go before an event at the Red Bull Arena. It's very close only about 3-4 blocks away from the stadium. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice with quiet music playing and nice tables spaced out so you won't be cramped next to someone. They have outside seating for a nice summer day with a tent over the outside seating to stay cool. You won't be having any problems with the service because it is great! They have a bar so you can stop by and get a drink with your friends. There are lots of options on the menu and happy hour everyday from 5-7:30. Now for the food. The food is great! The food came out fast and hot. We ordered the chicken strips, crab cake, and the flatbed pizza. We also got the calamari the was amazing! The price is also very reasonable. Overall I would suggest this restaurant if you want some dinner and you are near Harrison.“
“Best goth club close to home . Took my girl here for the first time and she loved it. My second time back and we had so much fun. The community that goes here are also very nice and welcoming. Danced with random people who I didn’t even know with open arms. Had the pleasure to talk to and meet Rolando the owner he is also a very nice guy. Would not hesitate to go back.“
“Omg so much fun, if you know me BatCat from GTS WRESTLING YOUTUBE I hang there often with Rocker Jen Bartender ,And Robyn my sis!!! A hidden place we have a ball at come join!!! See a band have a meal show your talent at open mic nights ? ? you there❤️?❤️?❤️?“
“Never before has a bar went into my good graces as quickly as THE VIC. Can't wait to try the wings and the burgers. Thin crust pizza w a crunch for $10!!!! What they do with this style Pizza gets a solid 8.4 from me on. Everything here is reasonable priced. Go check this place out for drinks and food if you are a local you will not be disappointed.“
“The ambiance is nice and the food is above par, however, the bar service is atrocious. Definitely one of the worst restaurants in North Jersey as far as service goes. I’ve been there approximately eight times in the past few months and experienced horrible service at the bar all times. A little too much to be coincidental. The average time to get your first drink can average from eight to thirteen minutes. To get a second round or order food can average a fifteen to thirty minute wait. And worse to ask for check and actually get it can be well over a half hour wait. If you just want a drink or two with food and you have 1-2 hours waiting to be served this is the perfect spot. What a shame because this place could be a gold mine if they had sufficient training and staffing.“
