“This is the second time it was dried out. No taste. And the bottled garlic that they are using was so over powering it for Ed it down. And I asked for a little more sauce. When it came. It was all dried. Like it was sitting g under the heat lamp a long time. This is the second time. And it had no taste. Twice . And the prices have gone sky high for. Pasta. 17 for a lousy dish of clams in sauce that had no taste. I’m very sorry we loved co I g here for years. But the food is. O share what it is. Most likely there is no one watching how this is prepared“

“Had dinner at Pasquale’s last night. I had Alaskan cod with lump crab meat, mashed potato and broccoli. My husband had lasagna and a side of meatballs. Everything was amazing! Don’t overlook this place if you are driving by! The bread is phenomenal! The soups are homemade just like mom used to make! Desserts were yummy! Our server Rory was on point, personable and helped us make great choices!“

“If there was a zero star option I would give negative stars. Didn’t feel welcomed by the hostess. Walked in and asked for a table for two. Couple minutes later we were walked down to our table. We asked for a booth to sit in. There were more than few booth open and was told there’s a wait for it. She glanced at the booth and still told us to wait. Never coming here again“

“Rustic Kitchen truly lives up to its name with a warm, inviting atmosphere and food that feels like it was made with real care. The standout of the meal was without a doubt the chicken parm—absolutely outstanding. The chicken was perfectly breaded, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and topped with rich, flavorful sauce and just the right amount of melted cheese. Every bite was packed with comfort and authentic flavor.
The portions were generous, the presentation was great, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. Rustic Kitchen is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. If you’re a fan of chicken parm, this is a must-order and easily one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend! 🍽️🔥“

“We had excellent dinners tonight at Cork! There are so many options to chose from on the menu. There's definitely something for everyone! My dinner came with sweet mashed potatoes and they were amazing! Our waiter Justin was also very attentive along with the rest of the staff. :)“

“Great service awesome food!definitely will be back !!“

“The buns must have come right out of the oven when I placed my order for my primo sized American cold cut hoagie with lettuce, tomato,onion, and oil and vinegar. It was made with the bun being very warm and that it ruined the whole taste of my hoagie. It melted the cheese to a soggy texture like when a hoagie sits outside on a hot day. A cold cut doesn't mean warm bun. And I didn't ask for a baked hoagie. I was going to take it back in, but I was so pressed for time. But I just took it apart and ate what I liked or what tasted ok. When I did a review on my Primo app, they asked for the ticket number. I'm going to check my truck it might be in there. I believe it was last Monday evening, 7pm. I am not from the area, but I used to stop at the previous location on Rt 309 a lot it was convenient.“

“I had a fabulous experience! My first time here and I’ll definitely be back! The food was excellent, the dirty martini was top notch, and the service was perfect. Ask for Connie to be your waitress-she rocks!“

“The owner Dan is a fantastic person. Their food is absolutely amazing. I’ve never had anything bad from there. My favorites are: meatballs, breakfast pizza, oven baked wings, Sicilian pizza, etc. The service is excellent as well.“

“Very accommodating, big portions, upfront about availability, friendly service, even though I went there before the evening rush, I didn't feel like I would be there forever because it was slow. I took my French fries to go and wasn't charged for modifications to my spaghetti dinner. There was a completely cheese-free pizza but I guess it didn't sell well. Personally, I miss it.“

“First time having there sweet sauce pie and it was so good reminds me of Sam’s pizza in wild wood so good will definitely be ordering again“
