Welcome to the River Palm Terrace, New Jersey's finest steakhouse! We serve the finest prime beef available anywhere. Only 1% of the beef fabricated in America is suitable for use in our restaurant. Our beef is hand selected from the best-fed cattle by the finest stockyard packing companies in the west. The steaks are center cut only from U.S.D.A. Prime Beef, aged on the premises to the mellow point of perfection and then hand crafted by our own butcher for incomparable tenderness and flavor. Even our prime rib is prime. All of our prime beef is tender and juicy beyond imagination.....Search the world over, taste and savor, you'll find no other meats to compare, by any standards, with superb selections of the River Palm Terrace restaurant. This is an assurance and our promise.

Been here forever. Get the hot dog ""ripped"- that is, well done so it splits on a toasted bun. Fries are outstanding. A vintage roadside stand that beats them all, anywhere. Very old with no updates. Kitchy. Outside bathroom and parking. Serves a good burger also. No gimmics.

This place constantly has long waiting lines. They constantly get high ratings from reviewers. My guess is that there is 1. A bandwagon effect going on or 2. People with experiences like mine over the years don't even want to give them the time to write their bad experiences...because, peole sure talk about the gross unpleasantries of this go-to place.
Lets start....the staff is rude, on autopilot, inattentive. This review will focus on my last visit. After waiting for seats (like rveryine) they took down our shade umbrella in order to expand the space on the sidewalk and cram in more people. This left us, three fairskinned people, not only in the beating sun, but with the late sun bearing into our eyes.
I had *very important* guests that day. They had seen reviews. I live in the neighborhood and suffer the lines and sidewalk crowding (in fact open drinking of waiting guests) as well as the constant evening party noises.
SO when I brought my guests and was treated so poorly, (in not even going to start with one meal coming 190,mins after the otheres, them being out of another selection...although we weren't told that) well....all I have to say is, you must have to be socially related to the owners to be treated right. I was so very very *embarrassed.*
There are others choices in this Greek neighborhood for good food: Greek, fish. Other Dont pay these people to make you feel priveledged to be ALLOWED a seat in their establishment and then ignored, underserved, and uncomfortably shuffled.
Ask around. Lots of locals will tell you the same thing....the ones who aren't "family" at least.
And, no, they don't take reservations...for YOU.

Arthur Avenue section of the Bronx. It was fantastic!
Reviewed By dhammer53 - Brooklyn, New York
I finally had a chance to eat here. I ordered the veal parm hero/wedge/hoagie/sub.
I sat at a table in the bar. The waiter brought out a bread basket. It was Arthur Ave bread, and it was delicious. When my sandwich was brought to the table, the visual is the contents of the sandwich. But when I picked it up, I could feel the bread was freshly baked. Like it came out of the oven an hour or two ago. When was the last time that happened! The sandwich was moist and tender. The bread quality enhanced the sandwich. Cost was $12. Locally, I can get a sandwich for $9.00, but the quality isn't the same. Can't wait to return.

Very cozy, real italian pizzeria in the heart of Harlem, great pizza and wine selection
Reviewed By KevinRaff - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina
I was in NY bringing my son back to school and we stopped here to eat, 4 of us. We started with the beet salad and the spinach salad. Both were fresh and excellent. We then ordered 2 pies, a Margherita Pizza and the Burrata Pizza (which they only do Fri-Sunday). Both were excellent. I've eaten A LOT of pizza over the years and the pizzas we enjoyed are really the best Neapolitan Pizza's I've had. So good, in fact, we ordered a 3rd pizza, the Aglio Olio. I can't say enough good things. The place was clean, great atmosphere and a very friendly staff. Definitely worth the trip if you're uptown anywhere.

We had an enjoyable lunch. They have a nice menu- many kinds of pizza, salads, wraps, panini, pasta, and a few entrees. I had a grilled vegetable wrap. My husband had a grilled chicken parm hero. We shared a slice of cheese pizza with mushrooms. Everything was fresh and tasty. In addition we had friendly service.

We went with a large group on a Saturday night. Thankfully we had a reservation -- the place was super packed. People were pouring out everywhere and those next to us were basically sitting / using our table. Expect really tight quarters. But the food was worth it - we had assorted dips, Greek salad, spanakopita, chicken souvlaki, lamb, moussaka and it was all getting rave reviews.
Another bonus is that the place has free valet, which can be useful in the hard to park neighborhood.

Ambiance: You walk through this long tunnel, set up like a theatre's backstage or some old underground caverns. You finally reach a room with tall ceilings and some painting of an Italian building scene. It is not a terribly large space on the ground floor but enough. There is a small upstairs, which I ready about on Yelp. My husband jokingly said that the place confused him, it was new but it was old.The lights were pretty dim and there were candles on the tables. We entered just at the time a large party was getting ready to be seated. I can safely say that while they sat and ate, they were pretty loud, in addition to the wholly random shrieks from my toddler. This was not a date spot today.
Food: We ordered the short ribs special and the off the menu Pasta al Forno -
Baked rigatoni with meatballs, sopressata, ricotta, mozzarella, sliced egg & tomato sauce. That was mostly good. The meatballs were a bit understated-a little dry. They would have been nicer if soaking in sauce or moist. The ribs specials was just right, not too salty and flavorful. We also noticed that the food stayed warm while we ate.
Service: There were waiters zipping around and at times I could not see my waiter, so I just asked the closest ones for things I needed. They were happy to assist. The food also came out in good time.
We visited on a Thursday around 7pm. It was definitely more than half full, and almost no wait. I must say this, we walked down a few blocks to get there and none of the other places had people or if they had it was negligible. (The pizza shop does not count.) This is "the happening spot" according to my husband.
