Sunset Diner

Reviewed By Salvatore F

This is an average diner by NJ standards. My server was great.The food was just like home cooked. Not a bit like the highly processed food at chains.I ordered turkey dinner. The stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggie were very good. The turkey was not heavily salted and seemed authentic. Even down to to the white meat sometimes being a bit dry and inconsistent.That is, processed meat comes out very consistent, preformed, and pressed, flavor enhanced, fat and water added. You know from your home turkey that is not how it looks or tastes. And yes, I did need a bit more gravy. But that has happened sometimes when I make turkey also. I would want to tweak the cooking time to make the turkey more moist. But I'd still rather have this than the alternative garbage sold elsewhere.Final note, some people have only know heavily processed, high sodium food. That is sad to say, because that is why some may not like the way it is here. I suggest give it a shot. You can always dump a ton of salt on it :-)

Perkins Restaurant & Bakery

Reviewed By 66judyr

I ordered brioche French toast hoping for an eggy breakfast delight. Unfortunately I was served was two pieces of thickly sliced white bread which had an may have had virtually no egg soaked in it. OK so it was a poor choice. When I paid I mentioned my disappointment to the manager who really didn't seem to care.This is not the attitude I would expect and a good reason not to return .Perhaps other items on the menu are better choices but I won't return to find out

Reviewed By mww1950

We must have driven past Buzzy’s 1,000s of times and never stopped in thinking it was just a Bar, we saw the TripAdvisor reviews and thought we’d give it a try.You enter through the bar and the large dining room is in the rear, we were seated immediately and the server took our drink order.The dining room has a Nautical theme and is very cozy, the menu was surprisingly sophisticated and there was a specials menu which we ordered off of.My Wife had Bourbon Glazed Salmon and I had Fish and Chips, the food was well prepared and excellent, we can’t wait to make a return trip to Buzzy’s for another meal.

Bonefish Grill

Reviewed By Jacqueline A

I try to avoid chain restaurants, but I live in Jersey so there's no escaping them. As chain restaurants go, though, this Bonefish Grill location exceeds all expectations! I live around the corner so have come here many times. Whether for drinks at the bar, dessert and coffee, or a full-on dinner, I have never had a bad experience here. The food is excellent, and I must say that the scallops are always prepared perfectly (which is no small feat)! The drinks are also very good, and on the strong side. Service is friendly and timely, and the restaurant offers great brunch and other specials as well. Overall, this Bonefish Grill is well worth a visit. Salud!

Texas Roadhouse

Reviewed By podrozniczka60

Good food, tasty predictable menu. After hiking Sourland mountain trails we were a bit hungry and good appetite is the best cook. The restaurant was very busy. The wait - during which we consumed handfuls of their traditional peanuts - was short and they have a beeper system to alert customers when their table is ready. The service was truly good, quick and efficient. Our steaks arrived quickly and exactly to our specifications. Nice upbeat atmosphere. The usual personnel dances and corporate "I love my job"shirts.

Uproot Restaurant

Reviewed By joea24

We have been to uproot a few times, however, this past week end was disappointing. Service was so so. And the portions were on the small side. Now, I wasn't expecting your typical NJ Italian Restaurant portion, but $32 for 4 small scallops was on the small side. Even my wife who enjoys smaller entree's commented on how little there was. Also, the salmon entree was on the small side as well. This combined with the so so service lead to a disappointing visit.

Capital Craft

Reviewed By larrylegend28

We were going for a group outing to Stumpy's (hatchet throwing) which is next door. So, we gave Capital Craft a chance and thrilled we did. The food was really good. We got a bunch of appetizers (loaded tots, crispy brussels sprouts, wings, and pretzels)....also had chicken sandwich (bummer that they were out of turkey burgers at 6 pm on a Saturday night) and salads. The beer menu was terrific as well...nice to have some options off the beaten path. It's a good place and definitely recommend it. Our server, Brielle, was friendly and attentive as well.

Water & Wine

Reviewed By Mervmeister

We parked in the lot right in front of the restaurant, and a valet promptly and warmly welcomed us. Even though we were the first couple of a foursome to arrive, we were offered our seats at the table and promptly served a bread basket and water while we waited for our friends. How nice! We were given one of the coveted tables right by the window with the best view. When our friends arrived, we ordered a variety of appetizers and main dishes which were all excellent. Service by our waitress, Ronnie, was extremely professional and courteous. The ice cream sandwich desert was delicious, and the coffee was hot and rich in coffee flavor, a rarie to find in most restaurants today. Of great importance to us is that the dining room is very quiet and very conducive to conversation. No loud music like you find in too many restaurants these days. The bill was reasonable for the terrific experience. Based on this one experience,I would definitely return even though I don’t live nearby.

Dunellen Hotel

Reviewed By Rick E

The menu had so many tempting items. I went with the Chicken Parmesan dinner. My wife had a Mushroom and Swiss burger. Both were wonderful. The burger was very large and my wife enjoyed it and took home half. My Chicken Parmesan on linguine with homemade marinara was amazing. The chicken so tender and plentiful. Service was great and personable, despite the restaurant being very busy. A very enjoyable dinner. We’ll be back for sure.
