8. TGI Fridays

In Manhattan in 1965, there was no place where people could go out to meet friends and make new ones in an environment that was at once both relaxed and yet exciting. Then, Alan Stillman opened Fridays as a way, he said, "to meet Pan Am stewardesses." Sud

I would never go there Again this place is disgusting the tables are old, the bathrooms are extremely dirty, the menus are old, dirty and ripped the employees aren't friendly. The whole place is old and outdated. I thought about walking out but I was with my family and they convinced me not to. I placed an order with no meat no sea food and I waitress took it upon herself to say I had a no protein food what I really wanted to say was it's none of your Buissness if it's protein or not. Why would they even hire people like that with no class no education unbelievable never again will I go there. I bet that place will close down soon if they don't make changes.

My wife and I stopped in for wings and a beer on Saturday before holloween. The bar was not super busy, and the bartender was extremely friendly. We ended up having Perogies (excellent) wings with chipolte sause (excellent) and pork chops (huge and excellent).Good prices, and a fun night out.

We âfoundâ Bar Cilento recently, have been there twice so far, and will certainly go again. The food we have tried â soups, salads, pasta, chicken, desserts, etc. â has been uniformly excellent, and the service has been great. And when they were concerned that we had been neglected by our server (we hadnât been), the watchful owners asked whether we needed help. A full bar with a great wine list and an upbeat, wekcoming atmosphere round out the picture. A great âfindâ not far from home!

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.

I didn't know quaint little villages like this still existed in suburban New Jersey. A quiet little Railroad Station accommodates passenger trains to NYC so visitors from Manhattan came leave their cars behind and ride right up to the front door of the Stirling. It is no longer a hotel but a neighborhood pub selling short order food & specials. The wooden building in picturesque surroundings is reminiscent of the old West or at least a Jersey of long long ago. I ordered a shaved Prime Rib with cheese sandwich on a club roll. The tasty sandwich contained quality beef for a modest price of $16.95. It came with "home made" potato chips which I did not care for. However, a lot of places are now substituting these chips for fries. They are over cooked and too spicy and my hunch is that they are not "home made" but are all made by the same distributor.Please folks, go back to fries.My wife had a Black Bean Burger which was for Vegans, with chipolte sauce.There were too other guests and our entire lunch with soft drinks only came to $65 for 4 people. The ratio of staff to patrons was high so service was prompt.The Stirling is the perfect spot if you are headed to The Great Swamp National Wildlife Reserve which is a short drive away.

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. Weâll be back for sure.

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.
