Making Homemade Ice Cream for 3 Generations!
Reviewed By tmcgeee - Towaco, New Jersey
The ice cream is excellent and very reasonably priced. This is a take out place, no indoor seating. There are a few benches in the parking lot. It's located on the highway so it's loud and not too scenic. But again, the ice cream is excellent.

Good food, Jenny was an attentive server. Texas cod sandwich was spicy with jalapeños. Very tasty. Sweet potato fries were very good. The bartender pours a good pint of Guinness. What more could you want?Thanks for the review! We will let Jenny know of your kind compliment.

This is a upscale place without having to drive close to Newark. The seafood paella was excellent with a large portion of good quality lobster. Portions arer huge. However, branzino (whole or filet) was just average. Service for a large group of 10 was excellent. Prices are about 25% above places closer to Newark. A tartuffo dessert was excellent.

Was in the area for my best friends wedding, and we wanted to meet for brunch before we drove back to Canada.
The groom suggested this place, as his cousin works here. As soon as we pulled up, I knew it was going to be great. What a busy place on Sunday mornings!! The wait wasn't too long....after we put our names in.
All of the staff were exceptionally friendly, especially with kids. Everything on the menu looked delicious.....if I had the money (& the appetite), I was tempted to order everything on it. Haha. But both my husband and I settled for Huevos Rancheros because neither of us have ever had it before. It was delicious.
I wish this place was closer to me....or me to it. But then again, I don't wish it.
, because if it was, I'd be spending every meal there. Haha. Will definitely be back again.....even if I have to drive the 8+ hours to do so.

This is terrific bakery. I always stop in and buy a big chocolate sprinkle cookie or two and have been for years. My only regret is, they close for the summer. Prices are reasonable and the baked good are excellent always. I am always tempted by the jelly donuts.

Our family enjoyed it very much! We were in mood for something good, local, fresh and unpretentious. So happy I remembered this was on my hit list. Food was great, generous, and its clearly a fav of many locals, bc all tables were seated. But our wait was short, so bonus!
