Shrimp King Restaurant & Seafood Market

Reviewed By Urban1026

We go here now and then if we are looking for fresh seafood. we like that it is BYOB but this time was not as good. the waiters were slow. in fact several tables came in and left before we did. the calamari was good but my husbands fish was dry. he said it will be a while until we go back there again. we were very disappointed.

The café is fairly quiet and very easily accessible from rt 130.The food choices are very good and extensive, however I thought the prices were a bit higher than I would like to pay for lunch. I would go back again but only for special lunches but not a daily place to go.

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers

Reviewed By didi9999

This noisy restaurant specializes in burgers the plates are constantly greasy looking as if they were not washed properly. They provide a rewards program and free bottomless sides. Otherwise, this place is an average restaurant that has spotty service. I only frequent it when in a hurry because it is close to my home. For the price, you can get a better burger elsewhere.

Small Interior but good food. Great menu choices and friendly wait staff.. outside seating limited and very noisy due to being directly off a major highway.

We came at 5;30. It was crowded. The warm bread and salads were great. My husband enjoyed the Out Law Rib Eye . I ordered The Napa Grilled Chicken. It was really salty.I hardly touched it. It was like someone just poured salt right on it. At 6;00pm It got really crowded . It was hard to get our server attention

Best tomato pies in NJ, hands down. Great salads too! Nice atmosphere and good service make this a perfect stop if visiting the Princeton area. Ordering hint: pies have very thin crust, so if you don't like a burnt edge, order the pie "light".Just be prepared for a wait for a table, but it's worth it.

Impromptu stop at Di Mattia's Tuesday night. (We had not been there in more than 10 years) So glad we went back! Food was spectacular. Mussels Fra Diablo & roasted long hot peppers for apps. Phenomenal NY Strip perfectly rare topped with Gorgonzola & shrimp, as well as penne with broccoli rabe, roasted sausage and peppers. Nick is a warm and welcoming host, as well as an excellent chef. Kim made us feel right at home; service was exemplary. Unfortunately, we made it all the way home before realizing we'd forgotten our leftovers... I almost cried. We will absolutely go back.

Woody's Towne Cafe

Reviewed By Susanne B

My husband and I stopped for lunch and it was such a great experience. The menu has many options from burgers, salads, cold sandwiches and hot sandwiches.We shared a bowl of chili to start and it was very good. I had a French Dip and my husband had a turkey club. Both sandwiches were big and full of meat. I brought half of mine home! Service was fast and friendly and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

Old Town Pub

Reviewed By Mick S

We were greeted with a hearty hello and a warm smile from our waitress, Samantha. Samantha was very attentive and patient while we wrestled with our order as everything sounded good. My friend ordered the filet mignon sandwich, without cheese, however he got the cheese - not that he doesn't like cheese he just didn't want it - he still really enjoyed his sandwich. Meanwhile his wife and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. While all the sandwiches came with a side of french fries, the pulled pork came with a good and very tasty portion of cole slaw - something I rarely eat - which made the pulled pork taste even better as it added a little crunch to the sandwich, We also ordered a side of their macaroni & cheese, which was creamy and delicious. I am looking forward to visiting this place again and try something else, especially their nachos which looked very appetizing.
