“I don’t usually shop here but I WILL absolutely shop here for now on. I really enjoyed the quality of the service I received from John and Matt. John is very friendly and social. You end up feeling like you know the guy for years…. Matt is the owner, who undoubtedly lead me to select some excellent choices of wine, that my husband and I truly enjoyed. I’m looking forward to futures opportunities to shop (and learn) thank you“

“My first visit to this restaurant on August 21st, 2025 was a resounding success, with the food being truly exceptional. The grilled salmon, accompanied by onion rings and vegetables, was a highlight, and our waitress, Jean, provided attentive and friendly service, making us feel right at home. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for its outstanding cuisine, service, and ambiance. Oh btw, the complementary bread alone is worth the trip!“

“If you’re in Wanaque, Flips is the dive bar you need to check out. Tucked off Ringwood Ave, it’s got cold beers, fast, friendly bartenders, and Joe, the owner, is simply the man.

The vibe is classic dive—dim lights, jukebox, and regulars who make you feel like family. But the food? That’s where Flips stands out. Chef Robert takes dive bar staples to the next level crispy calamari, gourmet burgers, and a sizzler steak that could rival any fine dining spot. All made with locally sourced ingredients and a chef’s touch.

The daily specials hit the mark, and the Bloody Marys are on point. If you’re looking for a dive bar with heart and flavor, Flips is the place to be. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Beautiful venue, amazing drinks made drinks, delicious food and great people.“

“Stumble inn is the classic north jersey local bar/pub. It has that Old schoolatmosphere with mostly a local crowd but are very welcoming to all. Awesome shuffle board table that you don't see that often. Food is good, wings, bar pie's and killer burgers.“

“The Sidedoor is under new ownership, and I’ve already seen some really positive changes! It’s in a great spot, and they’ve started adding food and making little updates that make a big difference. The vibe is super inviting! It’s definitely a place where anyone can feel welcome.

If you’re into beer, pool, darts, shuffleboard, and just a good time in general, this is the place to check out. Excited to see what’s coming next for The Sidedoor!“

“This has quickly become my new favorite spot. The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure you feel right at home. The bar has an awesome partnership with the Smoke Shack BBQ across the street, making it even better. The vibe is laid-back, and they offer a great selection of craft beers, wines, and a wide variety of whiskeys and tequilas. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a good drink.“

“Finally made it to the new location today with hubby. We sat at the bar and spoke with John. I have to say what a beautiful place John has built here. Beers were cold and the burger was delicious. Spacious indoors and beautiful wrap around porch with seating. Definitely will be visiting again. Oh and plenty of parking. 🍻👏🍔“

“I went for MLK day and they had chicken parm, penne alla vodka, green salad, some sandwiches and wraps and cookies and cream cookies for lunch. It is a bit pricey but you can stay and consume in the lounge as long as you wish. There is a patio with a private bonfire you have access to to make s'more's and there is a chocolate station. There is also a cash bar if you are looking for alcoholic beverages. I guess this is nice if you don’t want to deal with the crowded public food court.“

“Best way this place was described to me was its an experience. It certainly was as it was like stepping in time warp and going back to 1970's america, you want lol corn its a quarter, want to play pool yep it's a quarter great atmosphere friendly locals this place as I understand is only open on a Friday but do yourself a favor and have an experience“

“This was my first visit, and I will definitely be back. NSR was absolutely amazing as was the food.“
