Especially Brooks, who went above & beyond helping us try decide what to order. I'm not kidding when I say everything looked so good. He kindly gave different suggestions. He took time to explain different options, what they were and how they were made. Any questions or requests we had were met with nothing but kind responses. Will definitely be back!“

We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“Went to slap burger with my family, came from New York and stopped to try for the first time, hammad was more than amazing and so was the food. He even gave some extra food to go. Now that’s what I call top tier service, if he’s not a manager they need to seriously consider making him one. 🫶🏾“

We will definitely be ordering from here again.“

He also was the first one to ever tell us that our kids eat free on Wednesdays with a purchase of a regular meal!! We never knew that but really appreciated him telling us, as we took advantage! Will definitely keep coming back!“

“Great pastrami sandwiches. I also tried the corned beef but didn't enjoy it as much. Corn3d beef wasn't bad just not as special as the pastrami.

Definitely stick to the pastrami.

Make sure you give yourself time. The line is long and they take their time with every customer. Very slow moving but worth the wait.“

“Best burgers around try their tater tots Typical bar hang out with good food“

“Absolutely amazing! We ordered two chicken burgers with fries, and everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the burgers were made perfectly. The fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and paired great with the meal. The service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. Definitely one of the best halal burger spots around—we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

So yeah, its a good visit!“

“Haven’t been to Applebees in a very long time, will now be returning more frequently due to the exceptional service. Luke was phenomenal, informative, helpful, and on the ball with everything. He made it a great experience. The food was also very good.“

“They offer Thumanns hot dogs (either all beef, or beef/pork mix). they are ripped like Rutts in the deep fryer. Mine had a perfect snap.
They also have banana peeppers which you dont see at many hot dog joints. I will return when im in the area, but onward with the tour.
1 dog with spicy brown and banana peppers was about $5.“

“Great sit down burger place. Burger was delicious and the fries a thinly sliced which I recommended over thick slices because you get to finish your meal and have room to breathe. 10/10 would go back again. I had the Hawaiian burger and it’s becoming my new favorite.“

The patties had a nice sear, the cheese was melted perfectly, and everything tasted fresh without being overly greasy. Definitely filling and worth the stop. I’d come back for another one for sure. 9/10.“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“High Life Skii Club held a 60th anniversary party on Nov 1 with 99 members attending. With an assorted buffet menu and a live band, our members had a memorable evening in the private room of Tavern 73. The cash bar was very busy, and people raved about the food as they left this 4-hour event. Special thanks to Kaya and Gail for the excellent job they did to help to organize and execute this event. They were Best! Thank you, Tavern 73. High Life will not forget you!“

“We had a great first experience at Little Falls Tavern! We’ve visited Wayne Ale House in the past and decided to try this location, and we were very impressed.
Our server was incredibly friendly and welcoming, took the time to explain the menu, and was especially attentive to our granddaughter. Since there isn’t a kids’ menu, she offered suggestions that worked perfectly for her.
Everything came out exactly as ordered. The wings were delicious, and they kindly served the sauce on the side so they weren’t too spicy for our granddaughter. The pizza was absolutely worth the extra wait—the tomatoes and cheese were clearly top-shelf ingredients and made for an outstanding pie.
To top it all off, the owners were at the door when we left and took the time to chat with us and our granddaughter. Such a nice, hospitable touch that made us feel truly welcome. We’ll definitely be back!“
