“We are always looking to try local spots and this one was recommended by friends. The place is very nicely decorated and clean. We loved all the St. Patrick's Day touches! It was quiet when we went in and the service was great! Pleasant , friendly and fast! Hubby had the cod po boy and I had the salmon specials. We also shared the drunken mussels and everything was great! We really enjoyed it until it got very busy and very loud but we will definitely come back here“
“We just discovered this place recently, although it’s right down the road. The food is so good…certainly much better than my expectation…and that’s just because I assumed it would be just kind of good enough bar food. So much better than that. Love the calamari, the mussels, the French dip and the cheesesteak. Really delicious.“
“Had a great evening at the Shannon Rose. Their monthlong celebration of St Patrick’s day and the Irish cuisine were just what we needed on a cold, rainy day. And our server Misty was a genuine pleasure to deal with. Excellent recommendations on both food and drinks.“
“My experience at the restaurant was a bit overwhelming due to the noise and crowded atmosphere, especially on a Friday night with live music. Despite the tight arrangement of tables making it difficult to move around, the food and service were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the vegetarian dish with pasta and plan on returning for it. My friends also loved their salmon dishes and couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was. Overall, while the ambiance was not to my liking, the quality of the food and service made up for it.“
“This a 5 star review because it hit all of the check marks. You simply cannot get the same value you will get here anywhere else.Firstly, the staff is family, and very welcoming and accommodating. They Truly care about the restaurant, its legacy and there foodA very comfortable environment with 80's/90's country music playing and a homey feeling dining room. I felt like I went my cousins for dinner and coffee.Our waitress was one of the owners and helped me select some craft brews they offered. Very generous and appreciated.The Buffalo Wings are excellent. Cooked right and in a thinner sauce with a little zing but not overpowering.Our dinners were the Godfather Trio (Veal, Shrimp Parm and Eggplan Rollantini) and the 16oz Sizzling steak.The Italian Trio was a good portion and had a nice sauce, very filling and a very reasonable price.The Steak was better than some steakhouses and "higher-end" restaurants that like to charge $40-$60 for it.The steak was PERFECT! And for a price point under $30 is one of the best bargains you can find! Flavor was amazing and cooked expertly!We finished with coffee and the Chocolate Mousse Cake & Cheesecake. Well worth it and again; a price you can't beat.We even took home dinners for work the next day. It was that good.This is a Gem and a throw back to how things used to be and should be. Where your welcomed in and treated like a guest in a home and fed a wonderful meal.***Keep in mind - Cash Only But the have anATM on site. Not a big deal.Head in and enjoy. I'll definitely be back!!!“
“I live in Maryland, and was up in Jersey visiting family. My girlfriend, cousin and I all had dinner on 3/23. Sam provided excellent service, and drinks recommendations. In addition, we had an 8:30 reservation, yet never felt rushed. Thanks again to Sam.Cocktails we had were the Smooth operator, steel magnolia, and the southwest cider. All 3 were amazing. Kudos to the barteam as well.We had the calamari and burrata as appetizers, both fantastic.Next time we find ourselves in Jersey, we will be back 100%.“
“Have not been here in years. Service was amazing. Our server Tim was the best. The owner was so friendly and attentive. Food was fresh, hot and tasty. Atmosphere was family friendly and great for all ages. Very reasonably priced. Bonus- upstairs if you want to host a party. We will definitely be going back. We highly recommend the Firehouse“
“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!“
“The only issue was trying to get someone to speak English on the phone when I called. After talking to 3 different females, the fourth one spoke English.And the valley people lost my car keys ticket. I had to go thru all the keys to fi d mine.“
Seafood • $$
“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.“
“We came with a group to celebrate a great friends promotion…which was also a surprise wedding proposal for her. Marc was extremely accommodating and Kristina, who was our server as well as the manager was beyond amazing. She was on point and went well beyond to make our experience awesome…all while handling another large group. I cannot express enough how thankful we are and what a great experience we had! Thank you Blackjacks!!!“
“This place is a bit confusing because it's advertised online as an Indian restaurant and a diner but it's not either of those things. The inside atmosphere and the menu options are that of a restaurant, not a diner, and none of it is Indian. The food is excellent - many good salad and burger options, and great dinner entrees. Everything I've ever ordered from here has been good, is ready super fast, has always been correct, and packed well with condiments, etc for a to-go order. The hardest part of ordering/visiting here is there is never any parking. The parking lot next to the entrance is owned by another company and blocked off prohibiting access. Any time I have to pick up an order to go, I have to park down at the post office (about two blocks away), but the food has been consistently good so I will continue to order from here as long as I'm not in a rush.“
“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.“
“I'm surprised that I have been living in the area this long and have not been here until now! Went for the first time today and absolutely loved it. The waitress Melissa was very friendly and helpful. The vibes were as if I were at a rock bar without the drunkards. And the food was incredible! Rony made us the juiciest burgers (even better than what I was craving) and personally came to our table to ask how we were doing. 10/10, definitely recommend!“
“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“
“Tucked away behind the Main Street we stumbled upon this excellent restaurant. We ordered Spring rolls and a Japanese thingy for starter, both were really good. For mains it was Beef and Ginger and Prawn Fried Rice, again both excellent. So for 2 starters, 2 mains and 4 drinks it came to 58 euros, even excellenter ?…music choice was a bit different in that it was dance oriented but wasn’t out of place. We have booked again and would obviously recommend ?“
“Just what it should be! Comfortable inviting local pub with great food. Wings, burgers, pizzas, salads etc. we ordered 2 kinds of wings, garlic parmesan and buffalo. Super crispy with the right amount of sauce for the flavor and not ruin the crispness!“
“I'm not sure why I was hesitant to go to ReBAR. I'm so glad I overcame my reluctance! This place is a little gem. Great food. Friendly bartenders. It's become my go-to place to sit at the bar for a drink and a delicious meal. The pizza is thin and crispy. Dinners are satisfying and well-prepared. Treat yourself!“
“Atmosphere was awesome! Owner is so nice and welcoming. Food was out of this world! Had the garlic butter wings and disco fries. The fries were cheesy and so delicious! The wings were juicy and fresh. Have to say never had wings as delicious as these! Ruuun and get your wings! Yum!“
“Ordered a quick snack... Chicken empanadas... Crispy and stuffed... And the poblano molé inside and on the side was savory sweet and delicious.So good. Need more next time!The loaded nachos were definitely loaded....And a very good size.Took less than 20 minutes from order to delivery.Next time will be trying the birria tacos!Thank you!“
“I like Maggie’s now. They’ve updated the menu. I got the ginger sesame orange salad it was delicious. Next time I won’t get shrimp on it because it was too big. I thought it would be popcorn shrimp. I do like the option of adding protein like chicken. The place is always packed and very loud though. Don’t get the fish and chips, not great. Probably better for takeout.Dietary restrictions: They make changes to your order if you request it.“
“Tommy Fox's Public House in Bergenfield, New Jersey is a cool bar that has that cool Irish pub feel to it. The service was friendly and the customers were pretty friendly here, as well. I did not try any of the food, but it looked to be what you would expect from a bar. This is definitely a cool.place to gather with some friends and overall, I would recommend here.“
“Pretty cool place to go. Have some fun and listen to music and dance the night away. Parking can be a little tough but not impossibleThe place is clean and the bathrooms are clean. There are two rooms for dancingUsually the back is latin and the front is house musicFriendly staff, price of drinks are averagePay a visit Friday or Saturday so far I believe they provide music ?“
“We went to the 101 Pub to watch a Knicks game and the bartender was extremely accommodating. Tim put the game on for us on the TV in front of us. They have many TVs at the bar. We ordered some spicy chicken tenders which were delicious! Tim kept replacing my beer as soon as I was done. Very chill bar for both families and just groups of friends.“
“Went here on St. Patrick's day. They were in full party mode as one would expect and hope for. It was memorable but the music was a bit to loud for me as it was almost impossible to have a conversation. I'm sure some others would disagree. The Irish food was pretty good, The beer was the best part. Had a Guinness of course.“
“Our dining experience at Houlihan's restaurant in Paramus, NJ, was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a memorable evening.The menu offered a great variety of options, and each dish we ordered exceeded our expectations. I had the stuffed chicken breast accompanied by asparagus and mashed potatoes, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. My son thoroughly enjoyed his chicken wings and fries, while my wife savored her top sirloin steak paired with a loaded baked potato. Our friend visiting from Ireland, a lovely lady, was delighted with the fish and chips, which she claimed rivaled those back home.The quality of the food was exceptional, and the presentation was equally impressive. Each dish was beautifully plated, showcasing the care and attention to detail that went into its preparation.The service at Houlihan's was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations, making our dining experience even more enjoyable.Overall, our dinner at Houlihan's was a resounding success. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and inviting atmosphere made for a great evening out. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience in Paramus, NJ, look no further than Houlihan's. Highly recommended!“
“Had some appetizers, drinks and dinner. Most of the food was really good. Some dishes were a bit on the salty side. Drinks were not so great. Every cocktail we tried and the sangria was way too sweet and tasted like juice rather than a cocktail. Overall enjoyed it, but the drinks need work!“
“We came into the Barn and were thrilled with our service AND our meal AND DRINKS!!!!!!We met the owner when he first arrived at the BARN…..very nice man…..Last night we met the rest of the family with GREAT DELIGHT!!!!!!! Hope they get to read this as THEY WERE WONDERFUL….and the BARTENDER TOO!!!!!!Thank youCathy with a “C”Parking: The waitress told me about the new parking feature with all the tables & umbrellas….told me about Valet parking too!!!!!!!!“
“The food was excellent, and the service was great. Sangria was really superb, even though the portions of the food were not so big. The ambiance is so nice and cozy.I'm definitely going back soon!!!!!Parking: Finding a parking spot close to the entrance of the restaurant can be difficult, especially on busy hours like dinner time.“
“Great little staple of the clifton community. Many of the old tavern bars cease to exist, but this one still stands strong.And there's a reason why basements style esthetics and lively atmosphere keep long time patrons coming back.Want a man's cave and can't afford it? This place is the next best thing. From pool to darts, to sports on their many TVs, theres something to keep you around and occupied.Their staff and owners are attentive and friendly. They will keep you serviced and make you feel like one of the family as soon as you open that door.If you're looking for a bar like cheers,"Where everybody knows you name," look no further. Stop in and dedice for yourself.“
“Iv been going to this place for over 10 years and it’s by far my number one spot! Always a fantastic night out for any age and for families too. Chris, you and your team are top notch with your service, food and atmosphere! Thank you for a great time each time!“
“Absolutely fabulous place. I have now been around 5 or 6 times and it has been consistently excellent. Wonderful drinks, wonderful staff, and some of the best food I have ever eaten - seriously. The octopus is to die for, the crab cakes are gorgeous - everything is SO good. I have been on holiday in the Mediterranean dozens of times and this food rivals (and is often better than) the majority of food there. I can't rate this place highly enough!“
“Great local vibes here with a solid food and drink menu. Great service as well. Outdoor seating in the warmer months. My only knock is the noise. They have brick walls in the inside which don't absorb sound. It gets loud when crowded, which makes conversation a challenge. Something to consider if that's important you. Also, live music can be very loud. I wish they'd dial the volume down a tad on their speakers.“
“Always a good time at Sportsman, reasonable prices, good crowd. Menu has the basics but is good. Real cheese steak sandwich, an actual price of meat. Signature sandwich is the moonburger - Taylor ham and cheeseburger together , delicious. Beers are cheap 1.50 drafts and 2.50 pints of bud, premium draft beers 3.50. Pool table, dart boards, lottery. Try it you will like the home town atmosphere.“
“A very friendly place to go for your pub food. The beers are rotated often and they run extremely good specials. I genuinely enjoyed my overall experiences but the food is only solid. The menu is smallish but it covers enough options so a large group could find happy choices. I have eaten there four times and I have sampled most of the menu via my meals and sneaking a taste from others in my party. For me the downside to the food is the lack of the little details that takes a meal from "serviceably enjoyable" to genuinely tasty. Examples: Onions were not caramelized when requested. Cheesesteaks do not make it to both ends of the bread. When crispy fries were asked for they have not been delivered half the time. Little things. But they do make a difference. Luckily, they can be easily fixed. Regardless, it has a relaxed atmosphere and it serves great beer without pretentiousness.“
“This is a very nice spot. If you are a connoisseur of dive bars like I am, you will love the decor and vibe. The customers and bartender were all friendly. Price was about average I guess. Regarding food, they said they only had a small bar pie, and that limited menu sort of gave me the impression that it was probably frozen and heated up, so I passed on the food and just enjoyed a beer and the atmosphere. Definitely a nice spot to grab a drink though. Especially if you are a local in the area of this bar, I definitely recommend it. If you are a fellow dive bar connoisseur, put this one on your list, and unless you happen to be hungry at the time, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. Go and enjoy!“
“Wow what a place.. it takes you back in time with cow boys & everything related to them in display across that huge place. The details they have gone through to design that place is commendable. Even the furniture fells like brought back from 1970s..now let's talk about the real thing.. food.. Five of us went & ordered 9 to 10 unique items and every one of them turned out good. Don't miss the Gauc made fresh at the table & so.me house drinks. Lastly the desert, wow wow they were one of the best..“
“Had an absolutely fabulous time at Felina. The live music, ambience, food, and service was terrific. I ordered the rigatoni al Ragu and it was delicious, light, and the sauce was amazing. Great portion size. The place was packed but we could still hear ourselves talk. I had great waiters and the purple passion mocktail was sweet and tangy. Overall, will be back! Thank you for the free cookies.“
“Good location, plenty of parking. Inside is on the smaller side, but the staff and the regulars are very friendly and welcoming. Food menu is limited, nothing extraordinary and can't say much for the drinks as I didn't try the beers, but the ambiance is pretty good if you're looking for an easy, laid back night out.“
“yum yum this was a great last minute choice.. been wanting to try this spot for some time now. we started with the french fries, meatballs and the lolipop chicken.. all REALLY good! I the. got some sushi, the salmon roll and coconut shrimp roll. they were not terrible but just not my cup of tea. we also got a cheese burger with baked potatoe, super yummy! we ended with the chocolate lava cake, also very good. over all will definitely be back again, the vibe was great. our server, Billy was absolutely wonderful! so pleasant & knowledgeable of the menu, which I greatly appreciate:-)“
“Was on our way to another bar, "late" last night (not even Midnight) after having been turned aside by the Marriott but then drove by Andy's Corner and immediately pulled a U-ey.This place is a gem. The bartender is swell and the vibe is laid-back friendly.You might think "Dive Bar" (in the best possible way) when walking up to the front door, but what you get when you open the door is a Classy Establishment.To the backyard party-goers of Bergen County--- leave your block, for the love of Mike, and patronize this place. It's in your neighborhood, after all!!“
“Had a great time at Houlihan's, Ramsey, NJ. "Maria the Great" was our waitress & she was the best! Excellent service! She was very knowledgeable about the menu, very upbeat, friendly, & we will definitely go back! Food was great too! Warm, cozy atmosphere. Go to Houlihan's in Ramsey! Ask for "Maria the Great" Order the Seared George Banks scallops! You won't be disappointed!“
“My brother and my nephew love going to this pool hall, however every time we go they stop it playing only rap and bad rabbit music, before there was all kinds of music where there was a good atmosphere, but lately the music leaves a lot to be desired . But in the end you want to go play pool and have a good time with your friends and that's what we do. They serve all kinds of drinks and snacks and sometimes there are also very good views. Despite everything, I recommend this place.“
“The avocado blt was awesome. Pretty good air filtration for smoking a cigar. That can be a big issue with some places. 15$ cut fee at first was questionable but i get it, its nice not to have a bunch of bums coming in and not spending just to smoke. You could also just buy a cigar for a little over 20 and that counts.Love when a bartender can read your body language when you want to have a conversation and when you don't.Will def be coming back.“
“Best Kettle One Extra Dirty Martini's ever with the most delicious olives. The potato skins, bourbon honey Buffalo wings, fresh guacamole, French onion soup and salads are fabulous. Been here several times and never disappointed. Arrive before 5:30 as it's always busy. The servers and managers are caring, diligent and very accommodating even during busy dining hours they do their best and hustle. It's become a favorite place to go with friends.“
“Love this place. Good vibe with good food. This is our second time here and did not disappoint. Fresh fried mozzarella was really good. Not greasy either. I had the special stuffed sole and it was delish! My husband had the sliced steak which was okay. A little dry, not much flavor. Some garlic butter sauce would have been good. The drinks are perfect. The waiter exceptional!“
“I've been here a couple times for different things, a drink, a night out, and a couple showers. The place is perfect for a smaller shower. They have a buffet option that allows for a brunch option. Their food is delicious, especially their breakfast potato & onion option. They also have waffles, fresh made pancakes and omelets, pasta, chicken, a carving station, and more. Would recommend hosting something here but again, it's limited spacing.“
“My first time at this place and it was fantastic. We took 6 kids from our basketball team and all of these kids got different things and pretty much ate it all. I got Shepard pie which was good and the bar pie was phenomenal. Had a blast at this place and will return for sure.“
