“2/23/24: The Stanhope House dates back to 1798! It's like the all time Great American Road House. A group of us came put to support our friend's friend BD Lentz- blues guitarist. What an amazing show BD and his other accompanying musicians put on! The venue had phenomenal acoustics. Many of us were on the dance floor getting down. Many of the GREATS like Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Johnny Winter... have performed here. A basic bar menu is available. We had Beer, Pinot Noir, Cesar Salad, Sweet Potato Fries and Coconut Shrimp. All the food was pretty decent. The entire staff is very friendly. Parking is available in back of the building. "Presently , there's been a lot of talk about tearing this great historic place down. Please sign the petition on Change.org- Save The Stanhope House !!" Thank you for your support! : )“

“Love this place! It is BYOB or you can order a bottle of wine. They do not serve by the glass or have any other alcohol. They have a chefs tasting menu in addition to the 3 or 5 course meal. You may have to ask for it, but it's worth it! Food is always phenomenal.“

“I finally got to Andy's after everyone telling me I had to try it out. I was not disappointed! If you are a fan of hotdogs, you must try what Andy has to offer. I tried The Pig Dog and a new option that wasn't even on the menu yet. He warned me it would be a LOT of food and he wasn't kidding, but it was so good I managed to finish it all. Try it out, then go back and try again!I will definitely be returning.“

“Excellent family atmosphere to dine in. Our greeting when my family and I walked in was so welcoming. The waitress were very nice and friendly. They looked like they enjoyed working there. The food was very flavorful and not overpowered with salt. The buffalo chicken egg roll was delicious. My little one enjoyed the mac n cheese with a grilled cheese (just cheddar). I ate some of her meal too! LOL. I had the meatloaf with mash and gravy and sauteed green beans. This entree hit the spot. My husband had the chicken tenders and fries. The tenders were lightly coated and seasoned just enough. Now I know when people hear GF dessert, they're turned off. Nope, the GF Black and white cake for dessert was very moist, lightly sweetened, and delicious. This place was fantastic. I will return and recommend that you try it.“

“Wow, Knotty Pine is an absolute gem! The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a cozy and rustic atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure I had the best experience possible. The drink selection was impressive, with a wide variety of beers and signature cocktails that catered to every taste. The bartenders were true mixology wizards, creating unique and delicious concoctions that left me wanting more. They serve the most mouthwatering chicken wings I've ever tasted! The wings are perfectly crispy on the outside, and juicy and flavorful on the inside. They have a variety of sauces to choose from, ranging from mild to super spicy, so there's something for everyone. The portion sizes are generous, and the wings are always served piping hot. But what really sets pine apart is their attention to detail. The wings are always cooked to perfection, and the flavors are well-balanced and delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're a chicken wing connoisseur or just a fan of good food, Wing Knotty pine is a must-try. Trust me, once you've had their wings, you'll be hooked! Knotty Pine is definitely a go-to spot for a night out with friends or a casual hangout. I can't wait to go back and explore more of what this amazing bar has to offer! Enjoy your chicken wing adventure, my friend!“

“While being in the area, decided to stop there for lunch. Local food was good, they had a very decent beer. The view on the lake was extraordinary and in some sense, quite soothing. Prices were decent and service up to par. I'll make sure to stop there if I am ever in the area again.“

“Gatwyns II is a very good neighborhood restaurant/ bar. The food (Portuguese Mussels and Pizza) are great but the beer choices are very poor. Lack of attention from the bar tender can be too frequent but the table service is strong. Definitely recommended, some areas could use improvement but generally happy with this place.“

“Jose and Anif are the absolute BEST hosts at any restaurant my family has ever visited. Not only are they extremely polite with wonderful customer service skills, they are fast and efficient and keep the entire flow of people moving which is crucial to the operation of the entire restaurant. I am super impressed with these two employees, and would come back to dine here again simply because of them. Also, thank you so very much for going above and beyond to give my son a memorable and special birthday experience that he will always remember. You both deserve a promotion to leadership positions - and my family appreciates everything you did. Thank you soooo much!!! ?❤️?“

“First visit to Alice’s. We will return. Fun bar downstairs with outside heated seating looking over the lake. The food was ok. Steak was ordered rare and that came out perfect. The Salmon though was over cooked. Sides were fine though the vegetables were a mix of warm and cold. Service was great. Nice people.“

“Vegetarian options: The menu includes a falafel wrap. I believe they are most popular for their wings. For vegetarians and vegans they have tofu and falafel "wings" with 350 different sauce combinations! The best vegan wings I ever had!“

“Stopped here after church and was pleasantly surprised. The owner greeted us and sat us immediately. You can genuinely see his care and pride in the restaurant. The service was outstanding. Our daughter was the only child there but they all fussed over her. We really appreciated that. They also made menu modifications for her with no issues. We all loved our food. Portions were plenty and we all brought home some leftovers. Oh and get the beets if you are a beet person. They were fantastic!“

“It was a Thursday evening and we sat in the bar. We ordered off of the Chefs Tasting menu. We both ordered a salad and had the salmon entree which was deliciously perfect. Then we got to order a dessert because all the were included in the 29.99 price! It was excellent. We also had wine with our dinner.“

“Neighborhood pop (and mama) bar/restaurant where I believe the owner is the chef and he makes some delicious and unique food that is consistently awesome. Best cuban sandwich i've had in the area. "Shweddy Balls" are a must try (think of a meatball but made from mashed seasoned eggplant with cheese and deep fried like a falafel).“

“Food was hot. Tastes was a 8/10. Waiter never offered me selection of veggies, mashed potatoes are from flake but taste good. Butter would be nice. Ordered meatloaf. Meatloaf was good but you get one slice cut into 3 slim pieces. Like that food wasn’t salty. Coffee hot and good , remember when you got two slices of meatloaf. But maybe too costly ? Over all good.“

“Wow. The Black River Barn has outdone themselves again. What I remember growing up is an older pub feel with ok food, that has changed. It's now the most reasonably priced, delicious, kid and adult friendly food in a good part of Northern NJ. The atmosphere is palpable and full of life. Everyone loves their service, food, and drinks along with the prices. Can't say enough good about a restaurant I once wrote off as an older crowd. If you haven't visited in a while, give it another chance and they WILL impress you.“
“I've heard the term "out of body experience" before but could never truly say I've had one until I sank my teeth into a cheboygah (cheese burger for the layman's) at Village Saloon. Paired with fresh cut fries (fresh cuts for the hip) this cheboygah will change everything you ever thought was possible in culinary art. Their chilli is a meaty dense dark texture that warms the coldest souls from the darkest corners of the earth. My wife ventured into the land of poultry there by ordering a fried chicken special. All she lent me was half a wing in fear that she would run out of chicken too fast. Our server, I never got her name as she was also bartending / changing the lives of men and women who were experiencing the saloon, was nothing short of a messenger of God. Bringing food and drinks promptly and kindly and ensuring we did not faint out of pure bliss during our dining experience. All humans must enter this establishment and order a cheboygah. This is the only way to have the best in the universe. It will ruin all other boygahs for you at every place you ever get one. The fact that it comes with fresh cuts fried to superior excellence elevates your situation beyond your wildest dreams. Life begins anew when you leave here. There is nothing else but days of longing for the next time you get to go to Village Saloon.Kid-friendliness: Highchairs“

“We had the pleasure of throwing my daughter's baby shower at Stone Water on St. Patrick's Day. From beginning to end, it was a complete success. Karissa worked tirelessly with me to ensure that the entire planning process was seamless and that our event would be perfect! Perfect is an understatement!!! The event exceeded all of our expectations - the room was beautiful, the staff was incredible to work with and the food was out of this world! Family and friends are still raving about the event and of course, my daughter was equally floored. We will definitely be returning for future events and truly cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Karissa and all of the staff at Stone Water!“

“Hidden Gem we found on our way from NYC to the Poconos. The owner, Mattar, who has been running this great restaurant for 40 years, seated us. Very nice ambiance and a robust menu. The most difficult part was deciding between so many delicious choices. We settled on sharing the Goat Cheese and Beet salad, cheddar broccoli soup, mushroom flatbread, and the short ribs, followed up with cappuccino. We loved everything and can't wait to come back. Thank you for the great food and great service!“

“We had a wonderful dinner at the Corner Bistro. There were six of us, and as we hadn't been together in a long time, there was a lot to catch up on. This was perfect place to enjoy a meal and a conversation. The service was attentive but didn't make us feel rushed. The food was delicious, and several of us had to take food home as the portions generous. It is BYOB, which is nice. I highly recommend this restaurant for food, service and atmosphere.“
“This local tavern seems to have transformed itself during the pandemic! The food is amazing! I was surprised at the prices however. We intended to stop in for a few beers and burgers, it was not a special night out but it wound up costing as much as if it were. The noise levels tend to get pretty high in the bar, so you may prefer to sit in the back dining area. Go and support locally owned establishments!“

“Went with 4 people - not too many 4-tops. I’m guessing it’s mostly 1-2 tops on purpose. Short wait for a table but VERY much worth it. Food was delicious. I had a basic Bacon & Cheese but my friend had the breakfast tacos and said they were also delicious :)“

“Tried the specialty dogs. A Philly, a volcano and a chili cheese.Nice hot dog snap. Lots of melted cheese on the philly and chili dogs. The philly hints at cheese steak flavor. If I had a knock, the chili could have had a little more chili flavor to it. We still liked it though. The volcano was the favorite. And the fries, you have to get the fries. Thanks Davy's for a fun lunch.“

“We have eaten there several times and it is always delicious. We want to give special appreciation to Rachel, your manager, for her special caring and sensitivity to our needs. In today's world, where one struggles, especially if old like we are, to speak to a live human being, when you are able to converse with a person who is actually listening to what you said, this is rare. Add to that delicious fresh food and you have a winner. Tonight we had fresh large shrimps with a most delicious home made cocktail sauce. Fresh crab cakes with a fabulous remoulade, and a chocolate mousse to die for as dessert. We ordered too much and have to save some for tomorrow. We live in town, and are happy to see the names of so many out of town visitors appreciate Chesapeake Tavern.“
“Lakeside tavern is a great place to go! The bartenders are amazing. Michele is my favorite to visit every time I go. The line dancing every week is so much fun! It’s great when they have entertainment. They really should charge a cover charge because you’re getting a lot. I hope they continue to Linedancing every week because it’s a lot of fun and the food is amazing. The chef there does the most amazing job!“

“I grew up with my parents taking my brother and l to this Friendly’s location, usually a celebration or simply a night off of cooking for my mom. Because of this, l always associated Friendly’s with happy times and have a deep affection for the chain. I understand the intervening years since the 1980’s have not been kind to the company, but they continue on and so do we. Tonight my wife and l had dinner here. The food was simple and tasty just as it’s always been. Our server, Lis, was a delightful young woman, pleasant and efficient and on point. And what trip to Friendly’s would be complete without some ice cream? That l can enjoy a meal and the same Reese’s Pieces sundae l remember 40 years later pleases me immensely. I do hope Friendly’s can pull off a turn around. It would be a shame for this piece of Americana to vanish. If you haven’t been to Friendly’s in a while, why not stop by and support this local establishment? I’m glad l did.“

“I think this place is really cute and has great tea. The downside is that the afternoon tea portions are TEENY TINY. I've been to other afternoon tea locations, and never had finger sandwiches so small. It was cute, but if it weren't for the delicious scone, I still would have been hungry. If you're going for afternoon tea, definitely don't do it on an empty stomach“

“Nice, cozy spot, family restaurant with a nice bar. My daughter loved her ziti with meatball. My wife really enjoyed her chicken over pasta, and I was surprised by the quality of the prime rib king cut. The prime rib was fresh, tender, and juicy. It was a bit under seasoned, but it didn't matter at all. The quality of the meat was really impressive. There was no photo of dessert, but the apple crisp was warm and delicious.“

“I have been a patron here for years. I have had countless dinners and family celebrations here. I especially enjoy the outdoor space. Entertainment outside is just right. The atmosphere can't be better. When it's cold, there's several heaters to keep it cozy. Inside there are several dining rooms. I have had parties Inside too! The food is delicious. I have had just about everything on the menu. Some of my favorites are the clams and chorizo appetizers and the pork osso bucco entre. They also make their own bread! It's awesome. The staff is polite. The service is great. Plenty of parking.“
