The owner is very nice and the guys that work the later half of the day are great too. I definitely recommend!”

“First time here and great experience! Outdoor dining only. Food is unbelievably fresh and tasty! The porta potties are upgraded bathrooms and surprisingly clean. Off street parking but not bad. Outdoor patio is going to be extended over the dunes for 2025. Can't wait to go back next summer!”

“Fast food reimagined! We ordered egg McMuffins and coffee for 2, and they were delivered to our table in about 5 minutes. And no pimping for tips!

Quality, as always, was good, esp. the coffee. I gave 5 stars for atmosphere too bc the background music is acceptable to enjoyable. NOT annoying as I find in most restaurants; these places have no idea how intrusive their music is, to the detriment of the dining experience.

This place needs to be discovered by Michelin.”

“The fresh ingredients, the unique flavors, the spice-level made-to-order and the hospitality make this one of New Jersey's best restaurants!”

“After spending almost $300 for dinner they wanted to charge me for a second cup of coffee. What a poor policy. They give enough bread for two people when we were four and wanted to charge us for more bread. That's nickel and dimming”

“I’ve been about 5 times so far and LOVE Emelio’s! The food is fresh and delicious and the portions generous. Even their simple side salad is something special - delicious, light dressing. And the service is great, which is hard to come by these days. It’s clearly a family-run place where Everyone cares about the quality. Also impeccably clean!”

“My family wanted indian after apple picking and we couldn’t find a place until I looked up Indian and found them. It said 5 stars and the ratings were not wrong. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The food was excellent and there were so many choices. All of the food was worth it. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants and this place is in my top 3. The owner is such an amazing, hardworking, and sweet woman. She told us her story about for 20 years she’s wanted to have a restaurant yet she took the time to support and take care of her kids. It was heartwarming. She also told us a story of a father and a daughter who were starving and came to the door after close hoping they didn’t close yet. The chefs left, but she didn’t want them hungry. She still let them in and she cooked dinner for them and didn’t let them pay. It was for free. She expresses how being able to give food is a blessing and the biggest reward is being able to give food for people in need and feeding the people. She deserves this restaurant. Not only is she an amazing woman, but the bigger plus is the food is absolutely amazing. The naan, aloo papri chaat, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, lamb tikka masala, paneer tikka masala. All of it was amazing and so flavorful. For the spice levels my brother and I got medium and my parents got medium plus and the spice levels were perfect.”

“Cute and quaint atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food is absolutely delicious! Chicken vindaloo and chicken Tikka masala. Also some spicy chili garlic Naan, butter Naan and roti. Flavorful and good portion sizes. They could stand to give a little more rice with the entree, but that doesn't take away from the quality and enjoyment of the dishes. Can't wait to return to try other menu options.”

“Just got back from Mostly Smoked (our first time there) and it was absolutely delicious. We ordered the nachos, half rack of ribs, brisket, mashed potatoes, fried pickles, beans and Mac and cheese. We all (including my 4 year old and 10 month old) thoroughly enjoyed everything! The brisket was so tender, and the ribs literally fell off the bone. The nachos with pulled pork were amazing, along with the smoked queso that was drizzled on top. The staff and owner came around multiple times, asking if we needed anything and how our food was.

We will definitely be back and have already recommended it to many family and friends. We truly had a great experience!”

“We went for dinner, but we had to wait about 30 minutes to get in. They welcomed us warmly, and the food was delicious. We also went to a birthday party, and we had a lot of fun.”

“The Best food i ever had so delicious the place r nice and clean my kids love to eat there I also ordered very good service and thanks for the owner and his wife, they always laugh and nice to people ❤️🙏😘😘😘😘”

“Great place, treated like family. I’ll be back. Love it there. Pizza really good. Thin crust- fresh made. Cash only don’t forget. Support great businesses like this!”

“A Steak Lover's Paradise: Strickland's Steakhouse Our recent holiday dinner at Strickland's Steakhouse was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped into the elegant dining room, we were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service. Eva, our server, was truly exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the menu and daily specials made our dining experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. The appetizers were a delightful prelude to the main course. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The steaks were the highlight of the evening. The Japanese A5 Wagyu was a revelation - tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful. Every bite was pure indulgence. To top off the meal, we indulged in a variety of delectable desserts and rich coffees. The perfect ending to a perfect evening. Strickland's Steakhouse is a must-visit for any steak lover. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and elegant ambiance makes it a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.”

“Excellent food, excellent service and excellent atmosphere. I promise if you try this place, you will be extremely satisfied and for sure you will go back again! This restaurant serves the best Italian food in Staten Island.”

“What an absolute delight and surprise! Chef Salil personally brought the day's special dish for us to try. Remarkable and memorable. Explained the menu to perfection. The food so fresh and made daily in their kitchen. We will be going back often.”

“I'm on day 2 of the juice cleanse and I am enjoying the taste of each one of the juices. I haven't felt hungry at all and I am feeling good. Just make sure that you are near the bathroom because you will be going. So far, so good.”

“When I express that the draw is real, that's precisely what I mean. I'm struggling to identify which aspect I relish the most, whether it's the culinary offerings, atmosphere, servers, proprietors, or parking. As I'm unable to choose just one, I must opt for all. Thank you for hosting me; I thoroughly relished every bit of my cuisine.”

“What a great time - highly recommend for a bachelorette party”

“Really good chicken teriyaki special and the food came in less than 1 minute and the smell was really good the second we came in and the dining was good and spacious.”

“Really cheap and authentic, literally the best Ramen that I've had since going to Japan itself! Great menu that doesn't have an overwhelming amount of options. Also, try the Matcha IPA!”

“Highly disappointed went in with a pert of 5 to celebrate a party which was explained. While having our starters waitress informs us they if we don’t mind them adding 2 of their customers to our table so that the same chef will cook for us together.The hibachi grill part only had another party with us being the second & all other tables were empty. We told her we don’t feel comfortable with that and reminded her we are here for a party. So she comes back telling us her manager said it will have to be that way and we left. I can’t be believe that lost 5 customers over 2 and they even had the nerve to tell us to move over for them to add 2 people we didn’t know to our table. If the tables were all full we would have understood why but the whole place was empty. I would never recommend this place to anyone”

“Cute place with a great view of the skyline. Great food, great atmosphere and great people.”

“Great staff and delicious food!”

“Fun atmosphere, delicious food. Our waitress Staci was great! We will be back.”

“We tried Hook & Reel for the first time and enjoyed it so much, we went back 2 days later. The food was well prepared, delicious, and served hot. Yummy lobster bisque, I ordered a 2nd bowl after finishing the first! Fried calamari was yummy as well. The raw oysters were perfect and the boil with Hook & Reel's own Cajun sauce was outstanding. Our server, Moe, was friendly and very efficient; he makes your dining experience error-free so you can relax and enjoy the meal. The Manager here gets credit for a well-run ship! He really appreciates the customers and it shows. You will definitely want to eat here frequently. Great service, tasty food, relaxed atmosphere - you won't be disappointed.”
