“I always shy away from this place, but every time I go, I am never disappointed.

The staff here is very friendly which I love. My new goto is a BLT! Well made sandwich. They also make a great bacon, egg and cheese sandwich.“

“Fries r not the same, taste like card board. Big macs r great, breakfast is always the best and coffees r too. Improve on fries n yr good ?“

“We visited this spot specifically for the pastrami, and it did not disappoint. It has a milder flavor compared to Katz's, which I actually prefer since it allowed me to finish the whole sandwich in one go. Katz's meat is so intensely flavorful that I usually need to take a break and cleanse my palate before I can finish later. This place is a fantastic alternative if you're in Jersey. The prices are reasonable, and the 8 oz option is perfect for satisfying your craving without breaking the bank. The Knish and macaroni salad were delicious as well. They give you delicious pickles. We’ll definitely be returning often. Update January 2026. Stopped by for some pastrami sandwiches. They are still delicious and worth every penny. Hot dog special this week, $2.00. They were flavorful with an awesome snap.“

“my bestie and I like to search for new places to eat. THIS place is now on our fav list! the food is astounding, the fresh carrot juice i had was delicious. The owner is warm and a delight! may he flourish here because this is going to be a repeat spot for us!“

“If you’re in Elizabeth, NJ and haven’t been to Corner Hause yet… you’re seriously missing out.
The food? Insanely good! Every single dish hits. The drink menu is just as impressive, with a huge selection of cocktails, mocktails, and even really solid coffee if you’re keeping it low-key.

But what really sets this place apart is the vibe. The decor is beautiful, super aesthetic, and makes it the perfect brunch spot. And once a month, their Sunday brunch turns into a whole experience with a live DJ spinning Latin, Afrobeats, and R&B. The music is SO good.

Elizabeth has needed a spot like this for a long time, and Corner Hause absolutely delivered. There’s honestly nothing else like it around here. 10/10 recommend.“

“Can I please give it 6 stars? I recently went there with a group of five family members while visiting New Jersey and we had a truly extraordinary night! As an investor in restaurants I'm very critical when visiting any restaurant and not often impressed even with well known critically acclaimed restaurants. It's very rare when a place has truly incredible food with every appetizer and entree as well as first class VIP vibes for service. You could literally taste the passion and care put into every plate with beautifully prepared flavorful abundant meals. In fact, it was the first time in almost a decade I brought home leftovers as the meal was delicious and easily sufficient for two people. Our entire table raved about their meals and the attentive but not obtrusive service was always there to refill our wine and assist without any of us having to look up for service. The food alone would have made for a great night but what truly made it memorable besides the great waitstaff was the manager, Eli. When was the last time a manager, GM or owner greated you at your table to share a polite, interesting and passionate conversation about the food and why they love sharing this experience with their valued customers? He made our entire table feel like VIPs and made perfect recommendations for wine and dessert. It felt more like we were in someone's home as we were there for close to 3-1/2 hours talking, eating, drinking and laughing. The ambiance is warm and unpretentious and the memories of a great experience will certainly bring us back again.“

“Kawana and Natorie provided outstanding service and was very welcoming when entering the restaurant. Kawana made sure that my food was fresh. I would come here again.“

“Anáis is a great server I recommend her she is the best“

“Went for dinner on Friday with my boys. Stephanie was amazing. her recommendations for entrees was perfect. The timing and meals were great. Was a nice evening.“

“Had a wonderful lunch with my daughter and entire family today after my daughter’s graduation MSU Go Redhawks! Highly recommended for the amazing food and beautiful atmosphere!“

“Everything! I loved Nick’s. First time there and it did not disappoint.“

“Wine was ok, but the cake...........................insane“

“Delicious crepe and latte! Wonderful staff. Would definitely return to try some Turkish treats.“

“wow, amazing!! very unique flavors, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. i had the cassava latte and the leche flan latte. highly recommend! wish i lived in the area so i could come here again!“

“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by“

“Awesome place. Highly recommend!“

“the food are delicious and the waitress is great !“

“What an incredible place. I live health bowl but these are very different. They make every drink and bowl with fresh ingredients ONLY. fresh fruit the man base for everything. Also they make energy ball for on the go, they make fresh peanut butter for toppings. Love how they have 3 different categories for choices, destination, wellness and endurance. They also make freshly made treats for Pets. Can’t wait to try their coffees soon for my next trip.“

“We had short rib pho- the best I’ve ever had. This pho has claimed to number 1.
Wings- crispy, well cooked and seasoned.
Potstickers AMAZING!!
Vermicelli noodle bowl- 4.5 fresh ingredients and flavorful
Brisket pho added some meatballs- savory

Nice people, quick service, pricing is fair.“

“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.“

“We ordered delivery to Union. Our order arrived about 30 min early and was fresh, hot and delicious!! I highly recommend this location and will become a regular customer.“

“Went to jersey with some friends to ski and snowboard and let me tell you this bakery made the whole trip 10 times better the food was amazing she gave me and my whole group chia I think its spelled and I was awoken to how good it was and I will definitely be going back everytime im in New Jersey“

“They have the best social hour!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is great!!!“

“Really cute spot and they are so nice. We ordered macarons (chocolate and raspberry) which were perfect and so delicious. We also got an almond and a Nutella croissant. I got their special strawberry matcha which came with strawberry/matcha cold foam which was light and refreshing. My bf ordered a dark mocha latte which he said was really good. We sat outside since the sun was finally out and warm and they brought everything beautifully plated.
The only thing is that parking can be a bit difficult since a lot of the street parking is taken out.“

“Felix is the man and the smoothie and smoothie bowls are always a delicious and healthy bang for your buck, but having had the Spicy Squash and Chicken Noodle Soup, I can safely say this is my favorite spot to grab something tasty and healthy and worth the money, the soup is sooooooo good. I walked it while he was prepping another batch of the squash soup. And it smelled soooooooo oooo o good. The picture of my soup doesn’t do it justice as I’ve eaten the chicken out of it and now I’m sipping on the broth which has the slightest kick to it. I’m obsessed. I encourage everyone to support this place and get something delicious while you are at it!!!!!!“

“Love the food, love the place, very attentive, don't walk run here, great!“

“Our meal was DELICIOUS! Scallop appetizer followed by entrees of halibut, bronzino and orata. Wonderful service made for a beautiful evening“

“My husband and I are total foodies and love supporting small businesses, and this place was recommended to us by a friend. We were in the mood for something that felt like a dinner date without heading too far from home, and Adour totally hit the mark. Let me tell you, for the affordable prices, the quality of the food blew us away. The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for cozy, elevated, and with great vibes all around. We kept it classic with a rosé and a Hugo Spritz (both so refreshing), for starters we got the mussels in tomato sauce, and for dinner we ordered the lamb chops and the Adour burger with truffle fries - absolutely to die for. We ended the night with their apple crumble dessert, and it was the perfect finish. 😍 Bonus: they serve brunch, too! No need to trek to JC or Hoboken for that cute, trendy, affordable brunch spot, it’s right here in the neighborhood. Tell George I sent you! 😏“

“The food was easily the best Arab food I’ve had. Ever. The owners were super nice and actually invited us to sit instead of take out, and we got complimentary toum (also best toum I’ve ever had), peppers, pickles, and some sort of Arab bread. The bread was nice and crackly and there was a LOT of it. The toum, unlike other Arab places with toum, was actually light and had that whipped texture that is desired. The garlic flavor was on point and not too overpowering. The star of the show was easily the crispy chicken shawarma, though. It looks small in some videos, but it was wider than my mouth. I had to do some talking to find out myself, but to get the fries, toum, and pickles next to the shawarma, you need to ask for the crispy chicken shawarma combo. It was super crispy, and the breading was very nicely toasted. I kept finding myself layering the top with some pickles, fries, and more toum. They also drizzled some pomegranate molasses on the chicken shawarma, which gave it a tangy but also fruity aftertaste. We also ordered the charcoal chicken and kebab. The kebab, instead of normal beef on a stick, actually came with some yellow rice and some REALLY GOOD spicy seasoned bread that was very soft and moist on some parts and crispy on the others. You could literally see the spice particles on it. The charcoal chicken was juicy, tender, and had that charcoal roasted flavoring. It even came with a bunch of complimentary fries. The fries on both the shawarma and the charcoal chicken was nicely battered, and the shawarma fries were very well seasoned. The only thing is that the bathroom is through a door that leads upstairs, and you have to open two doors. If you’re someone like me and don’t like the feeling of putting grip on things with sticky stuff on your hands, you won’t like that. It’s one of those turn knobs. Finally, the music made me feel like I was actually back in Abu Dhabi watching fire shows while eating falafel. Please visit, they are amazing people who make amazing food!“

“corn beef Ruben + Rice Pudding dessert excellent“

“We had the pleasure of dining for the first time at Due 360 in Summit. From the moment we walked in, Luis the manager and Brianna welcomed us and seated us promptly. Luis was very attentive and made sure we were happy with our order. Our server Sofia was extraordinary! she was warm and friendly with genuine smile. She offered excellent recommendations and we had conversation as if we're know each other for years. We started with a complimentary bruschetta, it was tasty and nicely flavored. I ordered the Tapas- Polpo Ala Plancha, Steak Yuca Frities and Crabmeat/shrimp tacos. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. The portion was perfect and the presentation was impeccable. Due 360 was quite a gem of an Argentine-Italian restaurant (interesting combo but it worked!). This place is going to be my "go to" dining spot. I highly recommend it and the experience is worth it.“

“The atmosphere is chill and I really like the Airplane vibe. The Airline seats really give it a nice touch. Coffee was great! Also love that old style Airline ticker on the wall. Will be back.“

“Sweet Jean’s has great coffee, great gluten-free wrap options (make sure to specify you want the gluten free option), and a great team! I have also catered from Sweet Jean’s and they do a great job recommending options and accommodating dietary restrictions. I’m so happy to have them in the community“

“I absolutely love this place. Food is always fresh and delicious. I got the pesto chicken salad today, absolutely amazing. And the service is awesome. Always kind. Always helpful. Shoutout to the young lady working today. I wish I got her name but she was so sweet and helpful and gave me great recommendations. Great job vitality👍🏻“

“Great location great business grade coffee downtown , Cranford the best“

“Really fantastic local cafe. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the design and making it welcoming to casual visitors as well as people searching for a refuge to get some work done. I also like that it's a pure coffee shop. Some baked goods but a pure experience that focuses on atmosphere and quality.“

“Clean, cute lil pizza joint w/ nice staff, huge garlic knots that were obvi freshly made and perfect, crispy pie. They offered Mike's hot honey for my pepperoni slice, it's a winner. The counter lady was funny and helpful. I'd never been there so she answered my silly questions well.
Oh yeah.. don't skip the Chocolate chip cookies! I wish I got 2 more 🤦‍♀️“

“Looking for the best coffee spot in Bayonne? Look no further than Lavaccino! More than just a coffee shop, Lavaccino serves up perfectly brewed espresso, delicious sandwiches, refreshing juices, and creamy gelato 🍨 handmade to perfection. And don’t miss out on their exclusive, one-and-a-half-pound bar of Dubi chocolate—crafted in-house, it’s the best you’ll find in the tri-state area! Lavaccino’s cozy atmosphere and top-notch menu will keep you coming back for more. It’s a taste of Italy with a Dubai twist, right in your neighborhood😉“

“Stopped in while my son was at soccer practice on a whim last night and was blown away by the food and the amazingly friendly staff. The noodles were out of this world!! Prices were very reasonable esp in this economy. Will definitely be returning.“

“My family and I went to Fornos yesterday after my daughter’s graduation from MSU. We didn’t make a reservation, but lucked out getting a table because two minutes after we sat down the line was forming. All I have to say is the service was impeccable!!! The food was amazing!!! The ambiance absolute perfection!! I highly recommend!!“

“Very fun social vibe, special Birthday ritual, food was excellent, I practically licked my plate, service was attentive and the manager very active.“

“Was going thru Grubhub for wings and came across this place. I said how bad can it be. Wow I was surprised and disappointed. Disappointed that they didn’t have popcorn chicken but substituted for wings. They were amazing .not greasy at all. Very impressed. Will definitely go again. Tried the potato dog as well … very interesting, very good…“

“We had dinner at Ruby Tuesday in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and were lucky enough to have Bella as our waitress. She told us right away that she was new and still in training, so my sister and I joked that we'd be extra nice to her—but honestly, she didn't need any extra help!

Bella was incredibly sweet, friendly, and attentive throughout our entire meal. She took our drink order promptly, answered all of our questions about the menu with confidence, and kept a close eye on our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Her warm personality and genuine care made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

We live in Maryland and Florida, so unfortunately we probably won't have the opportunity to dine here again. But we wanted to make sure Ruby Tuesday knows what an amazing asset Bella is to your restaurant. She has a wonderful attitude, excellent customer service skills, and a bright future ahead of her. Thank you, Bella, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“Went this evening to try this new place as I was graving some shawarma. Had a beef shawarma that came with olives and pickles. Flavor was very authentic Middle Eastern in both the shawarma and pickles. I also had their fattoush which was very good. 2 people can easily be served from both the shawarma and fattoush! Overall, good food, nice place. Will be back.“

“Great TEC on a Kaiser roll and coffee. Many other great Italian food choices!“

“Went for the first time today, and let it be known we will be back. Saw an ad for their "El Gringo" and had to try it, it was amazing! Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese piled high on a soft roll! Would easily get again, wife and son both loved theirs! Ordered some pork belly as well, nice and crispy, full of flavor. The gentleman working was very friendly and offered all the sauces if we needed any, he was excellent. The venue is well lit and had a "home-y" feel to it. We will easily be back, it is walking distance for us, happy to have them in town. Added some pictures below of the food!“
