Last minute dinner plans. Food was freshly prepared, hot upon serving and excellent portions. This is not my 1st trip there, and I have never been disappointed.

Farley's ice cream is delicious and creamy. So many flavors and topping to choose from. And it makes a great ice cream cake. Its family owed and operated and I like to support small business owners. Farley's always gives back to the community as well. From fund raising to tours for Scout Troops.

After reading the reviews I decided to try it. First o stood at the counter for 5 minuets before one f the 2 girls finally took my order. The bagel was good however the 3egg omelet used the smallest eggs ever because there was nothing to it. The dishes they served on are made of plastic and very worn out and dirty looking because of their age. When served I had to ask for flatware and napkins. And there is an extra charge for potatoes but that fact is not on their menu. In my opinion the price is high for what you get

I was disappointed with my pork special so I was looking around and I don’t think they’ve cleaned in years. Floors, walls, decorative memorabilia filthy, stained and disappointing. I used to like the place, but if the restaurant is that dirty,what’s the kitchen look like?

Family owned gem. Donuts are filled to order. They are fresh and delicious. They also serve breakfast sandwiches. The only downside is that they close early - around noon and that the donuts sell out.

Best bagels in town. Cooked just right! Some places make the bagels way too soft. Bagel Exchange gives these bagels that NY feel. Plus they make a great French Toast bagel!

We were there with a party of about 50 people. The staff were very nice and the service was good. The food, from the salad, to the appetizers, to the pasta, to the main course was excellent. We are not from the area, but will probably try to visit this restaurant again when we are passing through the vicinity of Jackson.

Great stop along the way to anywhere. This Rita's has a certified kosher line. Be sure to check the listing and then choose a yummy treat. Check every flavor to make sure that the one you are choosing is both kosher and if you desire, chalav yisrael. I double check by asking the people behind the counter who are well informed.

Reviewed By Art800 - New York City
Stopped on by from reading previous reviews and this place was truly delicious. We stopped in here first before our trip to Great Adventures for lunch. Oh my goodness, the upside down pie was so so so delicious. I wasn't surprise why it tasted so great. The owners are from Brooklyn, N.Y. Great Italian cooking. Would make this a first stop all the time before heading to 6 Flags.
10. Cornerstone Kitchen & Tap

Reviewed By Charles S - Wall Township, New Jersey
The menu is on the eclectic side. The menu this evening only had one cut of beef and that was a small filet. The Icelandic salmon was very good, but I substituted one of the side, which they had no problem doing.
The cheesecake dessert was average, and the two sauces that were added did nothing to enhance the flavor.
The list of beer on tap is very good, with a nice variety of styles.
Service was slow considering that there were only a few tables occupied.
