Sunrise Pizza - Bayonne (closed 10-15 years ago)
I would love to have their pizza and antipasto again. Does anyone on here know if any of the owners opened elsewhere? Some of the best, most flavorful thin crust pizza around. They made their own dough daily.
Jamesburg (Monroe Twp) NJ
We are going to Mercer St. tomorrow for lunch. It is my first time going, so will report back.
meadowlands area eats?
Steve's Steakhouse on Rt. 17S. 5 minute drive. I always get the filet. Ask for extra sauce and rye bread.
Jamesburg (Monroe Twp) NJ
I was just in Jamesburg this morning at the large park. Make sure you stop in Mendoker's Bakery in the center of town. Quality bakery in the area.
Rocco's Pizza and Pasta - West Caldwell
Has anyone tried this out yet? I hear he is a guy that owned Rocco's for years, food was terrific, but then he sold it. Michael's Pizza was there for years, then they closed, and Rocco reopened. Now, is it worth trekking there to try them? There's a lot of good pizza in this area.
Best Chicken wings I'v eever eaten, in Mt. Laurel NJ.
Is the name of the place Church Street Chicken? If not, please let us know the name. Thanks.

Google "BBQ classes in NJ". Can't speak for any, but a few came up. I might join him, sounds like fun
Ah Pizz - Montclair
I am surprised to hear this too ttoommyy. I will also state that I have only been here for lunch, when they aren't very crowded. A co-worker went for dinner and said they seemed overwhelmed. The mozz is made fresh, so it is not like they are buing cheap mozz from a vendor. I also don't experiment with "weird" pizzas, with strange toppings, so have never tried a lot of their pies. I do disagree about the "worn looking" feel of the restaurant, it is the look of the restaurant. Not exactly warm and romantic, but nowhere near what you see on "Kitchen Nightmares", where they haven't update the place in years.
Italian Pork Store Bella Italia in Spotswood/Monroe
I just simply didn't like the attitude of the employees at all. When I moved around there I read about them in the paper so I needed to try it. You stand at the counter and they don't acknowledge you at all, then you get a "yea". You get your food then the checkout people couldn't care less about being there, nevermind care about you. To boot, the food was ok, not great. Tried a sandwich, chicken francese, pasta in vodka sauce, etc., and it wasn't all that. We went a few times, but always got the NY attitude (sorry to the NY'ers reading this). There are plenty of good Italian places in that area, find another one soon! They lost my business.
Thumbs Up Chinese Restaurant - Edison, NJ
Aside from the interesting name, has anyone tried it yet? Just opened about a month ago or so, took the place of a different restaurant. It is located on Rt. 1 South.
Ah Pizz - Montclair
It is on Brookside Ave., right off of Bloomfield. It is a block away from Roseland Ave., which is a main road. http://angelonispizzeria.com/. It is also a BYOB. I may go there for lunch tomorrow. Always look forward to it.
Ah Pizz - Montclair
Scarlet Knight - Have you also tried Angeloni's in Caldwell? Curious to see how you would rate them against each other.
Ah Pizz - Montclair
Finally made it here to try an "authentic" pizza, and what a pleasant surprise it was. It's right off of Bloomfield Ave. with a parking lot. The pizza was absoultely delicious. And it's ready in a few minutes. The ingredients speak for themselves. Go here, right now! We will be going back next week for lunch, and will have to try other itmes from the menu.
Howell, NJ Anything that is not a chain?
My only addition would be Federici's on Rt. 9 North, in a strip mall. Great thin crust pizza, BYOB.
Pom Pom BBQ on Route 33 in Millstone
Funny, whenever we drop by, they have a good crowd, both eating in and taking out. We like their food a lot, but this news might make us sad when we go again, assuming the food isn't what it was. We are going next week, so I will let you know how it was.
Mercer Street Grill in Hightstown - anyone try it yet? (with fun backstory!)
Cranrob, since your posts are all on the money, I am going to take the family here soon to try it, since we live 5 minutes away. I have been disappointed with Tavern on the Lake lately (new chef I guess), so will see how they do here.
Burger search within 15 minutes of Caldwell
Tiffany's on Rt. 46 and Cloverleaf have good burgers.
Angeloni's Restaurant & Pizzeria - Caldwell, NJ
Yes, it is not a fancy place, very casual. My co-workers and I love the setting of the place, above a pizzeria, not fancy, they did a nice job with it. People have stated it could be noisy, but we go for lunch so never had that problem. Get extra orders of garlic knots too!
Anyone Tried Rose Mediterranean in Caldwell, NJ?
Dave, Angeloni's on Brookside Ave. in Caldwell is my new hot spot. You should give them a shot sometime. Never been to Rose, sorry.
Best Chinese in Hightstown/East Windsor area?
Same here Nursemegg. I haven't tried it, but pass it almost daily. My neighbors say it is worth a try, so I am going to go this week hopefully? I will let you know, or you can meet me there! Seems you know all of the places I know. It did have quite a few restaurants before it in that spot.
Restaurant near Hillsborough, NJ
Thanks fourunder, we tried this today! Old Man Rafferty's food and atmosphere were good! Everyone liked what they had a lot, worth a trip back. Foody, I suggested Tiger's Tale but was told too far away. That is my next stop on Rt. 206.
Restaurant near Hillsborough, NJ
I am being dragged to the movie theater in Hillsborough (Raider Rd./Blvd) and we are looking for something to eat beforehand. It's 4 adults and 4 kids, so nothing fancy or that will take a long time. I suggested Tigers Tale, but any other options? No BK, McDonald's, Papa Johns, etc.
Angeloni's Restaurant & Pizzeria - Caldwell, NJ
We went for lunch today. Had the "thinny thin", garlic knots (to die for), and a cold antipasto (also to die for). I've also had sandwiches, eggplant rollatine, etc., all very good. We had a 6 pack, they put them on ice for you, open them, pour them, etc. Just a great place. Wish I still lived in Caldwell!
Angeloni's Restaurant & Pizzeria - Caldwell, NJ
I have been going here weekly, they are doing good business. My co-workers say they are packed nights and weekends, yet no chowhounders have tried it? I have turned quite a few co-workers on this this restaurant. Food and atmosphere are excellent. BYOB too!
Delorenzo's Tomato Pies - Trenton, Closing January 15, 2012
Reported in the Times of Trenton, Robbinsville, NJ location staying open.
Nutley area Restaurant recs?
I got 2 thumbs up for Queen Margherita from a co-worker. Good pizza, good food.
Best Chinese in Hightstown/East Windsor area?
We usually go with either Little Szechuan off of Old Trenton Road or First Wok in West Windsor, in the Southfield Plaza (near McCaffrey's). I am not big on the "storefront" places, usually could use an overhaul.

Need Restaurant Recs Between Hamilton and Howell/Freehold
FYI The address that popped up is their main restaurant, just as good, not a BYOB. I am not sure if either takes cards, cash only, so go prepared.......................
Need Restaurant Recs Between Hamilton and Howell/Freehold
There is a Federici's on Rt. 9 in Howell in a stripmall. Not far from 195, not a fancy restaurant but excellent thin crust pizza, salad, and main dishes. It's also a BYOB. If you like pizza, you'll love Federici's.

Pom Pom BBQ on Route 33 in Millstone
Having a day off from work during the week recently, I went here for lunch again. Pulled pork lunch special, with fries, slaw, a drink, and a fruit cup is all only $7.99. I think it was $8.55 with tax. Still recommend this place to people, I really enjoyed the lunch, although it is a lot of food if you have to go to work afterwards. I went home and took a nap! They seemed to have a steady flow of customers and a lot of orders were being delivered. Good for them!
