My wife and I had a date night and we decided on Addams Tavern. Service was good and friendly. Spring rolls and cessation salad were very good. The scallops were good, but could use a bit more seasoning. The fried chicken fried rice bowl was very good, but a bit pricey for the size. The chocolate chip cookie dessert was good as well. Overall, we had a good meal.
9. Trap Rock Restaurant & Brewery

Iâve liked this place since it stands almost alone in the brewpub category in the area, and chose to go for an early dinner recently. Greet staff were welcoming, ambiance nice. Appetizers were good. Main courses though were hopelessly over cooked except for the one $18 burger. Salmon was the best of the entrees, smallish portion somewhat dry, served with a few inedible slices of vegetable. Haddock was a tiny portion, had more of a hockey puck appearance, rock hard. The two steaks were child-size and were charred, close to inedible. So a number of issues - line cooks were clearly out of control despite a well-functioning front of the house. There obviously was no quality control on dishes leaving the kitchen, but also underlying protein portion sizes were well below the norms for entrees in the 20s and 30s of dollars. My conclusion is Trap Rock maybe OK for a beer, snack or burger, just not for good food or dollar value if you dig deeper into the menu. We didnât get to dessert.

Met up with friends here and had the burger. Wow, it was tasty. My friends had salads that they said were awesome. My martini was on point. I didnât give it 5 stars because the fries were just ok, the music is soooo loud, and itâs quite pricey. A meal is $30! For a âpubâ I expected better prices. I would recommend this place because it was a surprise gem.
7. Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar

Buffalo wild wings is one of those restaurants that I always look forward to going to. Unfortunately I always leave wanting just a little bit more and I don't mean more food. It is possibly one of the most inconsistent chain restaurants in terms of the size of the wings you get and how well their cooked or overdone. I completely love the yellow curry flavored wing sauce along with jerk flavor and I have enjoyed a burger or two there. Their fries are OK because they're matchsticks and that's just not my personal favorite. the onion rings are good. Again it depends on who's cooking in the kitchen and your server.

Came here on recommendation of a friend. Attached to an Embassy Suites within a business park you wouldnât find this place unless you were looking it. And you should. Eclectic menu (it ranged from poutine to beignets), inviting warm atmosphere and friendly service. Open kitchen ran without chaos. Full bar. Not too noisy and tables spaced so donât feel crowded. None of our party left hungry. Outdoor dining available when weather permits (it has a fire pit but open roof). Desserts were a huge hit. Will definitely try again.

Went to Grillstone recently and the service was HORRIBLE!!!!!! I sat at a table in the bar area for close to 10 minutes before someone acknowledged I was there. And that's only because I shouted "Excuse me," for the second time to a young server who had passed near my table at least two times previous. I asked if she knew who or server was to which she replied, "I'm not sure." REALLY? I then asked if she wouldn't mind giving us menus so we could decide until our server arrived. She did and there we sat for another ten minutes with several servers walking past our table without so much as a, "Hello, I'll be right with you." We decided to take our business elsewhere and I won't be back!

Finally decided to give Sheelanâs Crossing for dinner and really enjoyed the food. The menu is extensive with a variety of choices of appetizers, salads, entrees and sandwiches. For dinner we had the Raspberry BBQ Pulled Pork with sweet potatoes and chicken wings. The atmosphere is very homey and comfortable along with great service. Give Sheelanâs Crossing a try and you will not be disappointed. Looks can be deceiving by judging the outside of the restaurant. We will return for great food and to try the crab cakes, steak and other menu options.

Reviewed By maxinedds
Charlie Browns has been around forever for a reason itâs predictable. Itâs a good value and decent service for the meal you get! Letâs not forget the salad bar! Who doesnât like their salad bar! Always fresh and updated! The selection is endless or so it seems. The menu changes constantly (no exaggeration)! But the staples remain. The food isnât fancy nor does it pretend to be. The steaks may not be Peter Luger but then you arenât paying for that either. The meals are always consistent. The burgers are good, the Octoberfest wurst platter was delicious as was the sauerbraten. I always fall back on the filet minion.

This laid-back pub in Scotch Plains is a great place to go and grab lunch, dinner or a quick drink. The staff is very nice and the food is good too. I had a burger and had asked for well-done fries. Most places under cook the fries but this place got it right! And the food was very good. I recommend this place for a casual bite to eat or a drink at the bar.

This is a big location, including snug dining spaces, an airy barroom, and even a courtyard for outdoor dining, weather permitting. I went for the pan seared black bass, which was cooked just right, and served with an interesting mix of veggies that each contributed their own flavour and texture to the mix: fennel, broccoli rabe, roasted shallots, butternut squash, and mustard sauce â very nicely balanced, and well presented too.
