Christina was perfection, knowledge and sweetness all at once! Everyone treated us great! Thank you Christine for all your help! Looking forward to returning w/ the new Mommy & Daddy! Thank you all again. 3 excited grandparents!“

“Great food!! It never disappoints.“

“You probably won't have high expectations when you roll up to this place as it isn't fancy, but don't judge a book by its cover. I made the horrible mistake of eating at Pat's the other day, and the meat tasted like shoe leather. This little joint served up a perfectly seasoned hot cheesesteak and a great milkshake - I'll definitely be back.“

“The service and food was great. 🤗“

“Food is fresh. Food is delicious. Prices are Reasonable, I Truly hope that does not change. Customer service is good, pleasant. Our family orders roughly about 1 time a week since we found this place about 2 months ago. 3 combos please! Lol We are definitely repeat Customers.“

“I love Lehman's Tavern. The food and service are excellent.. I really enjoy the steaks and seafood. My favorite thing is the Cucumber Ranch dressing... I stop in every chance I get.“

“I moved to the neighborhood from Brooklyn recently. One day while walking around, I passed this unassuming place. The only indication that it was open was a chair outside with a bouquet of flowers to pin down a paper menu to the chair. The menu looked divine.

A few days later I walked past, showing my partner that the place almost seemed closed from the outside but was very cute inside. Someone who worked there came out as we were looking and was very kind, asking us if we had reservations yet. We said no but booked immediately.

The first time I visited, I had the sourdough, Marinated Mussels (hakurei turnips, miso, chili oil), Carrot (crab, brown butter), Shrimp (peaches, coppa, toasted marcona almonds), and Gnudi (corn& basil). It was an entirely no-skips meal. The mussels came cold, out of their shell, and the sauce was incredible. The “carrot” was more like a crab cake with coconut, brown butter, and an unidentifiable but delightful citrus. A perfect balance of rich & light. The gnudi seemed simple, but the lightly spicy sauce really pulled all the ingredients together. Finally, the shrimp with peaches really knocked my socks off. Lots of places will make “seasonal” menus but not put the effort into making sure that produce is top notch. The peaches would’ve been delicious on their own, but with the rest of the dish, they really shined.

The second time I went (just a few weeks later) I got the Chicory Salad (anchovy, buttermilk, comte), the Steelhead Trout (sungold tomato, perilla), and a tuna crudo special. I also re-ordered the bread, the carrot with crab, and the gnudi. Everything was just as good as last time, and the new additions were truly worth trying. Something as simple as a chicory salad can be so hit or miss - but WOW!

For dessert we had the cherry brown butter tart with crème fraiche. No complaints at all here.

Now I’ve rambled on plenty about the delicious food, which I will be back for very soon, but I truly haven’t ever been to a place with better service. The workers are extremely attentive and kind. I felt like I’ve known everyone there for a long time.

Thank you, Illata, for being such a wonderful neighborhood spot.“

“Love their seafood boils“

“Delicious Indian cuisine. I’ve been struggling to find a good Indian restaurant since I moved to the Philly area about 6 months ago, and I mean really struggling. Out of all of the places I’ve tried, Srinagar takes the cake!!! The Chicken Tikka Masala is incredible and is the perfect spice level for a medium. I did only get delivery via a third party service, but would certainly consider eating in next time. Will be eating here again!!!“

“I'm on a road trip just passing through. I was looking for a seafood restaurant that was not a corporate chain. I saw a sign for the Reef Seafood and Steak restaurant in Wilmington, Delaware, and I went there. I had the calamari and the sea scallops. They were both delicious! I was so glad I stopped. My waitress was very friendly and professional.“

“Finally went and boy it was worth it!!! Came from Zerlin (Berlin NJ) and got the chicken hoagie with fries. I have no idea how they keep that roll so flavorful and juicy! The chicken was to die for and perfectly seasoned! I hope you are in Zamden again Friday even though it’s going to be a rain soaker.“

“Excellent customer service and safety precautions in place.“

“Very good, nice service, comfortable room“

“My boyfriend proposed to me here last weekend, and the staff at DePaul’s table were incredibly warm, professional and helped make it so special. They were all in on the surprise, and helped us capture the memories. They paid attention to every little detail. I’m forever grateful ❤️🥂💍“

The staff at S & J Seafood is like family—they know your name, your order, and they greet you with a smile. And let’s talk about value: generous portions of good-tasting food that won’t break the bank. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or indulging in a seafood feast, S & J Seafood is where flavor meets community.“

“We had a small party at Riverwinds on Saturday night. The food was excellent. However, the dessert package is a total ripoff! There was a plate of small desserts ( 1”square pieces of cake, 2 “ eclairs, a chocolate covered strawberry, and a tiny cannoli. There were not even enough for everyone to take one! When I asked for more the waitress said I should go to another table and see if they had anything! 😡😳 Definitely not worth $10 a person! RIPOFF!“

“The food is always fresh and good I have been going Here for YEARS in the food is always good in fresh in the price is always reasonably price in you get a lot of food for your money ...The man behind the courter is always nice in friendly.....“

“I always go to Hill's Quality Seafood Markets in Media. I always purchase the crabs. The crabs are nice and fresh just a little bit pricey but it's worth it. I'm a crab eater so far they are number one in my book. I love the staff always kind and friendly and they have no problem in answering your questions. My favorite seafood store to go to.“

“We are regulars and had a wonderful meal tonight….as usual. The service from Rosy was excellent. She is very courteous, energetic and pleasant. She is knowledgeable of the menu, and explains the specials well. She is attentive, pleasant, and projects a positive image for the restaurant. She is a keeper!“

I had the fish and Chicken wings ate myself silly..her staff Ms Fatine love her was so glad too see her. Omg if you haven't you need too get there, the best I mean the best.

“Today got takeout for the first time got the lunch breaded flounder and it was awsome.I will be back.“

“Wonderful food and service was amazing. Our servers Linda and Brenda were awesome. Will definitely be back. It’s our third time here!!“

“I love the whole crabs sautéed in butter garlic. They are delicious. When I come in they know who I am and how I like my crabs(I'm in that often....lol). They are very courteous and will fix any mistakes made with your order. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.“

“Wick's is awesome! Their staff is always super friendly! I always bring coolers of food from Wicks with me to the Outer Banks when I vacation there for a week in a house rental. Wick's has almost every product available; from burgers, hot dogs, french fries, onion rings, chicken fingers (homemade right there on site), all things seafood, chicken patties, roast beef and gravy and mac and cheese right in the aluminum pans to cook them in, vegetables, almost everything imaginable. I highly recommend this place of business.“

“It's your average Hood Deli. Breaded chicken wings are to die for. No thrills, but always FRESH. Mother and Father own and run the business. Both can be a little brash but overall it's a good place to get a quick bite that isn't expensive. Never ever have to worry about the food not being fresh either.“

“Hands down AMAZING!!! Deserves 10 stars everything was sooooooo good!!! Haven't had food that good in so long.“

“We have been driving to Cape May from Quakertown for decades, 20+ years ago and about halfway was Vesuvio Ristorante, so we stopped in to grab a bite. I was greeted by Robert the owner. The guy truly appreciates your business and understands you have choices! Robert knew we were either opening or closing our summer home and he was always easy to have a conversation with. They are the definition of a hard-working American family and business owners.“

“Fish Fried Friday!!! My coworkers told me about this place! 😲 Omg, their food is so damn good!!! The fried whiting fish was amazing, hot, and crispy. I had 2 sides, potato salad and fresh green beans. I will definitely be back on Wednesday to try the $1 shrimp. The portions are huge, too. Y'all have to try their food. It's worth it!“

“Got a dozen & a half of crabs from this establishment and they were DELICIOUS!! I was given all male crabs like I asked for & they were clean & full of meat.This was my first time coming here and definitely won’t be my last. They were really busy so expect to wait 10-20 minutes, but it’s worth it.“

“A true regional institution. The seafood is always fresh, and the steaks are always the highest quality at Charlotte's. Five Stars!“

“Just had a party yesterday and decided to go with Hallow Bamboo for the catering. Everything from the ordering process, to the service and especially the food was EXCELLENT! My wife and I will definitely become regulars and will use them for our catering needs in the future, thanks Shelli and Steve!“

“I always get the brown stew chicken (FIRE)🔥🔥 I haven’t had oxtails in a minute so I decided to try again PHENOMENALLY COOKED!! perfection in a platter seriously. 10/10 would recommend to all my friends but I wanna keep this spot to myself so bad lol. Definitely worth the money!“

“Never have I been in a restaurant where the person cooking your food is so concerned with food contamination. This was so impressive, she change her gloves after each item she touch. So often I go into restaurants and the staff to me our under the impression that the gloves are to keep there hands clean so handling money and food is alright. I don’t remember her name, but next time I’m in Philadelphia pa the Legends of Seafood is the spot. Let’s not forget the other two ladies so professional. Thanks for a wonderful experience, the fried shrimp and sweet potato was great as well.“
