The Canal House

Reviewed By Marc S

I had purchased a few discount coupons and went to the Canal House several months ago. The food was ok but nothing to write about. The Canal house has been here forever under different names. When we entered my wife picked up that there was some changes like new hanging lamps. We where quickly seated and where given menus, We looked at the menus and it was not the same old fare.We are not adventurous eaters so we decided on burgers my wife saw one with a fried egg and I wanted the cheese burger no cheese but fried onions. The waiter asked how we wanted it. In most restaurants the chances of getting it right is slim and none. Well 10 minutes later comes out a 5 star burgers cooked to perfection..It was fresh, not a patty hand made and my wife could not complete. In should never been called a burger but a ground steak.Chef Robert came out to check if everything was ok and explained he makes his own blend of ground beef . Now I have met some Chefs who are really Cooks andthink they are rock stars. Robert just is an artist that uses his creativity to make his customers happy. We are looking forward to returning and will put a toe into the menu set by step.

I went to dinner with my wife last night 8/7/2019, at the Rockaway NJ store. When we had just gotten served our dinner, a staff member broke a glass next to us. Accidents happen. I can understand that. My wife and I were sprayed with glass shards as well as our table and food. I guess not realizing how much glass was spread around I had to ask the person cleaning up the glass, to please wipe down our seats and table as there was glass all over the place. I also had call our waitress over and ask for a manager, because we had glass in our food and drinks. The manager offered us a slice of cheese cake for the inconvenience. Which we said we would take to go. He offered us to remake our dinners. Which we declined. Due to not having another 30 min to wait. I asked for our check and they never took off the dinners or drinks that were covered in glass. I called the manager over again. To explain, that I only drank half of my soda and ate not even 1/4 of our dinner which now had glass in it, due to no fault of our own. He then charged us for the cheese cake and only took off the dinners from our meal. I still had to pay for Cheese cake that I was offered to make up for the inconvenience, and our drinks that had glass in it? I'm still not sure if the manager even knew how badly the glass was spread across our table and ourselves. He really didn't seem to care that much. As I had a piece of glass in my sneaker and in my shorts, which I didn't know about till I felt it sticking me a few minutes later. I paid my bill. I also tipped our waitstaff as if nothing had happened. But I will most likely never go back to any of their restaurants, due to lack of customer service. While the food and waitstaff were good. The managers customer service, or should I say lack of customer service was appalling. I paid cash. I wish I would have paid by credit card, because I would dispute that charge with my CC company.Hello. We are so terribly sorry about your experience while dining with us and would like to speak with you a bit more.

Reviewed By 313alanl

Food and atmosphere is typical for any Applebee's. The best part of going to this restaurant, located in Dover NJ, is that you get the privilege of having your car destroyed while you are in the comfort of this restaurant. And don't worry, management knows of the problem and chooses to turn a blind eye. Remember to park in front of the building, as many incidents have taken place in back of building. PLEASE BEWARE!

Knotty Pine Pub

Reviewed By tfinchler

Went with my wife and son. Most seating is around the bar. Few high top tables. Son and I had wings. Very good. Not best ever. But solid. We shared pretzels. Also very good. Prices were cheap. Service was friendly. If you're looking for good bar food, cheap beer prices ($3.25 for pint of Yeungling) and friendly service, you've found your place.

Noches de Colombia

Reviewed By DocRKS

Several tasteless dishes. Fried plantains dried out, reheated and no seasoning. Carne Asada dried out like an old cow hide. Menu shows the dish is served with fries. Not the case here at all. Pico was 99.9% chopped onion swimming in lime juice. Yuck! Men’s room was very dirty and sorely in need of maintenance. As much as we had been looking forward to this visit - that’s the extent of our disappointment. Strong point here was the Passion fruit Margarita- certainly not the food.

Italian Restaurant & Bar

Reviewed By James M

We went to the restaurant, waited 30 minutes and were served our soup, one portion. Waited, waited, waited another 45 minutes and the waitress seemed to have disappeared. Finally, we decided to leave, efound our waitress who was baffled, and she got the front end manager. Both went to the kitchen, our order was not only not ready they just did not have an answer. The manager and waitress just went about their business, not concerned or have any concern about us. We left.Hello James and thank you for your review. First I must apologize for the delay in your food. Our POS system differs with the numbers you have quoted for wait times, but still much longer then what we try to achieve on a daily basis. I must however address some aspects of this review which simply need further clarification. The waitress was very attentive and had gone to your table numerous times apologizing for the delay. We even had a few other patrons that where sitting next to you that felt bad for your treatment of our server who you brought to tears. You claim that your food was not ready when you were exiting the premise but we informed your wife it was indeed ready and if she wanted to take it to-go. She denied our offer and left without paying for anything. We truly try our best to please all our customers and in return we also expect our employees to be treated respectfully. Have a nice day.

Great local pub, with food far above standard "pub fare". The Guinness was top shelf, as was the food, the locals at the bar, the bartender and the guy playing guitar. So glad I visited this place.
