I had lunch with a friend at Blu Alehouse. Megan was our server. She was very accommodating. We started out being seated outside, which my friend had requested, but since there were no umbrellas for shade and it was quite warm outside, I really needed to move inside. Not a problem. Megan simply reseated us inside to a quiet spot where we could catch up. This place is great for that, since itâs not noisy the way many other restaurants are. My friend suggested the lobster rolls, and since I had never had one, I jumped at the chance. And since the order included two, we shared the order, which also included the restaurantâs homemade potato chips, which were spicy, crispy, and delicious, as was the lobster roll, along with an Arnold Palmer to drink. It was a very nice lunch, and Megan was perfect...no rush, very nice, and was even helpful when we were looking for someplace else for dessert. I would definitely come back.

The Little Food Inn is a byob restaurant located in Pompton Plains New Jersey. The atmosphere is warm and cozy with an eclectic menu serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Beginning at 10:00 am, the menu features breakfast and lunch items. There is a huge selection of egg dishes, omelettes, pancakes, bagels and muffins as well as lunch options such as salads, wraps, hot and cold sandwiches, burgers and more. My wife and I have eaten here many times but this was our first time for dinner. The dinner menu begins at 5:00 pm and also is varied. The menu features seafood, pasta, burgers, sandwiches and comfort food such as meatloaf, turkey, pot pie and more. My wife and I shared an appetizer of calamari in a chili sauce. The calamari was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. My wife chose swedish meatballs over egg noodles and I the chicken pot pie over gnocchi and topped in a puff pastry. It was full of chicken, vegetables in a savory gravy. We finished with a decadent flourless chocolate cake. The Little Food Inn is a great place for creative cuisine or comfort food. Give it a try.

We normally don't go to steakhouses for dinner. I find steak the easiest thing to make at home. We buy prime beef at a local butcher and grill it to perfection. Not crazy about paying $40-50 for a steak and then paying for potato and vegetable. I'm sure the steak here is tops. The best deal is their happy hour from 4 to 6:30 Monday to Friday. Half price appetizers and drinks. The appies are outstanding; crab cakes, clams oregenato or casino, sea scallops, lobster mac and cheese, etc.. Also, most drinks are half off. Kettle one martinis for $7.00 and they are huge. Good wines for $5.00. Can't beat it. Very good service as well.

This restaurant is surely a diamond in the rough. The location is in a building with a pizza restaurant in the front and a billiard hall upstairs is very unsuspecting of the quality of service and food they provide. It is New York Steakhouse worthy and the prices are as well, except no traffic, tolls or parking costs. Surely a must try for anyone who enjoys a quality steak and all the terrific sides that come with it!

I'm updating my last review, which was lunch. We finally made it to the Brookside Bistro for dinner and the food was absolutely delicious. I could not imagine a piece of Coho Salmon being cooked more to perfection, and the chive sauce that accompanied it was perfect. A romaine salad with feta was excellent, even if it did go kind of heavy on the feta. The Seafood gumbo is very good, but nut soupy like we had expected. The home made muffins, home made ice cream and duck specials were all good. There's no question that this is a chef who knows what he's doing.. As for the atmosphere, the decor is very pleasant. We were there on a week-day night that was very unbusy, so it's hard to judge what the service might be on a busy night. There is a tiny bar with a couple of high tops. We really appreciated that when the specials were recited we could also read them on a board. That was helpful. We will return for sure. Perhaps go on a week-night to try if for the first time.

We ate here for my husband's birthday. It's a small place but we went early and had no problem getting a table. The food my shrimp dish and his salmon were very good and so was the service. If you want bread they will bring it no problem but you have to ask for it.

After a business meeting we ordered takeout at this diner. A year ago we visited this diner and the food and service was great. This time we ordered breakfast entrees including eggs, toast and waffle combo. It was absolutely horrible and uneatible. The scrambled eggs were hard, no toast was included, the sausage was turkey sausage with a bad taste, and the waffle batter had too much water. The dessert was supposed to be tiramisu, but it wasn't. All in all, we were not able to eat this meal and were extremely disappointed. I do not recommend this diner.What you're describing sounds like a far cry from the delicious diner classics we've made our name on -- I'm concerned that this was your experience. Everything you ordered, from the scrambled eggs to the waffles, should have been incredible, and if it wasn't, we want to know about it so we can do our best to make it right in the moment. I hope we can get another chance to impress you, showing you the food you loved from us a year ago. Best, Sam M.

We stopped with a group of three for dinner and for some reason expected typical pub food. Boy were we surprised with the quality of the food and its great taste. Overall, we had three different selections, and all were extremely good. These included the Chicken Pot Pie, the Bangers and Mashed, and the Beef Stew.We are often passing through the area, and we will be sure to eat here again!
