Comfort Food Restaurants near Union, NJ

“Found out that this place is under new management. He made so many changes to this place that its a completely different vibe. He said he slowly getting new equipment and wants to restore this place and make it successful. I feel his determination through the food. I can tell this guy cares. I was happy with my visit, I hope the other locations learn from this guy. I miss how Boston market use to be, where the quality is what mattered.

Parking: There was plenty of parking, it was clean, didn't see any trash at least when I was there.“

“This food truck on University Avenue in Gainesville, Florida was an amazing find. I learned they originally came from Jersey. I ordered the Fat Darrell fries along with mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, and marinara sauce , and everything was insanely delicious. If you're in the Gainesville downtown area, you definitely need to check them out. Their menu is huge and they even serve breakfast. A full five-star experience.“

“This is the first 5 Star restaurant we have found in NJ since moving in 1991 from Manhatten. Four of us went this past sunday evening. Everything was 5 star,including food; Niavh's (Irish name pronounced as Nieve) service; and the personable manager, Dave. Gorgeous wood and glass. Great Ambience. Easy to park. Could not be happier!“

“Went in today for the first time. Had a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries, the tofu in peanut sauce, and they threw in a sample of an eggplant appetizer for free, which I appreciate. I really enjoyed everything I got, very much in fact. Just know that it is expensive, though a lot of vegan places are, so it's not like a unique criticism of this place in particular. I'll definitely be back.“

“I went yesterday and I’ll never order the steak there again but I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone. I have heart failure and I got sick on the steak. So it’s my fault not theirs. I really enjoyed the steak, sweet bananas and salad. The portions were average, it filled me up. I’m glad I didn’t order the larger bowls, I’d be overstuffed. My friend did though. I usually don’t like well done steak but this one was very well prepared. My husband and my friends also enjoyed the food. 4 of us went. The lady behind the counter was wonderful and very helpful. The place was crazy crowded but civil. The atmosphere was great. I loved the artificial palm tree. Definitely going again but going for lower sodium options like chicken next time. 100% recommend.“

“Hands down the best Ecuadorian restaurant in Newark for lunch and dinner! Large portions and great quality food. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming. I miss the previous owners will be missed but the current ones know what they're doing.“

“I had the pleasure to eat at Konoz. It is a clean and neat restaurant. The owner is friendly and pleasant. I asked him what he recommended and I placed the order to eat inside. The meat was tender and tasty, the salad was a good portion and trifongo was delicious. I chatted briefly with the owner. It’s a place I would go again when in the area.“

“Delicious menu, centrally located with friendly staff.“

“Just a nice chill place with great food“

“Loved my tea and rice ball“

“Ordered a couple dishes from here on door dash for the first time and I am impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, not one complaint about any of it. I didn’t know what to expect because the prices are so low and you just don’t see that anymore, the chicken combo was only $9. The portions are generous and even though some of it is deep fried NONE of it is greasy. Will definitely stop by next time to try more dishes.“

“We booked for a special occasion and everything was excellent. we loved it! They made our family moment a valuable one, I loved the food, service and also how beautiful and elegant the restaurant is. Super like!“

“Dishes are not consistent. My meatloaf was burned so badly they put a lot of BBQ sauce on it to cover it up. This was done despite the fact that I requested no sauce. Next time I requested one blackened whiting dish and was given fried whiting.“

“I got the fat Amy taco and it was huge and so good!! The wings though, the wings are on another level of amazing!!! This place is great!“

“Melt Shop in Staten Island Mall is amazing—pure comfort food heaven! Got the Classic Grilled Cheese (gooey American & cheddar perfection), a Crispy Chicken Melt with slaw, and loaded tots. Everything was hot, cheesy, and flavorful—melts are next-level. Service was quick and friendly despite the mall rush. Atmosphere is bright, casual, and fun—great quick spot while shopping. Highly recommend for anyone craving a killer grilled cheese!“
