“Love this place the food the service the atmosphere!“

“REALLY good food- service great.“

“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“

“This place was fantastic! My husband and I went there on a whim. And we are so glad that we did. We love the ambience, it looks like a country cottage. And the service was awesome. She was there to make us comfortable and happy.....which she did. And the food was the piece de resistance . We had stuffed zucchini blossoms for our appetizer and they were perfect. Then we got a salad, of which the house dressing is the way to go. And then we had an order of snow crab legs that were PHENOMENOL! And we also ordered the Pasta dish which had deep sea scallops and shrimp with a vodka sauce over angel hair pasta. Which was also incredibly good. We left there feeling very happy and satisfied! Thanks Country Cottage! We DEFINETLY will be back. =)“

“This bar is like home to me. I absolutely love the staff, the cooks and all of the regular’s It’s like going to cheers.

I want to add that I had my husband’s 50th birthday party there and they did an outstanding job making it happen. Karen and Sam Made some amazing food and they were so attentive to my guests. The bartenders, Kyle and Jo Jo Rocked it they made amazing drinks and Kept them coming to the birthday boy the Whole day.

But what’s even more special and means the world to me is that the staff that was not working that day came to hang out and help me set up and enjoy my husband’s 50th with us. Literally, family, and good friends at this bar. If you’re looking for a local bar to frequent to get good food, drinks and make outstanding friendships. I highly recommend you come down and see Dave, Denise, JoJo, Kim, Kyle, Elaine and Alison. Heck, you’ll probably meet me too. I’m the girl with the bow. That’s always at the bar.“

“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!“

“There aren’t enough nice things to say about Pompton Craft House. The beers on tap are fresh and constantly changing. There’s an amazing selection of perfectly curated, delicious wine for an amazing price. The wine tasting machines are SO COOL. John and the staff are incredibly nice, helpful, and fun to talk to. If you haven’t gone yet, what are you doing?!“

“Best way this place was described to me was its an experience.

“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!“

“the martinis were outrageous and the pizza was even better. the rustic pizza is too . die. for.“

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

“Nice to drink and friendly people !“

“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.“

“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. 🍻👏🍔“

“Came here after the snow on Tuesday, and I got to say, I wish there was a Schuss open year round! My bartender Alfredo had a full bar and still made sure my drink was never empty. My wife is still talking about the espresso martinis she had. If we make it back to the slopes this season, we will definitely come back for the pizza and ‘Tini Tuesday!“

“We had the pleasure of playing at Celtic Knot for the first time during St. Patrick’s Day weekend under the tent. While the outdoor crowd was a bit lighter at times, every time we came inside we were met with so many compliments and such a warm responseit truly meant a lot. The staff, security, and patrons were incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the owner made sure we were well taken care of throughout the event. We’re grateful for the experience and hope to be back again“
