Geno's Steaks Philadelphia, PA
More Meat, real provolone cheese, tastier and more tender meat, plus well lit for that late night snack. I have driven 20 miles just to get the real thing at Geno's. As for the famous Philadelphia Cheesesteak , Genos is certainly one of the best.
Pub Merchantville, NJ
I have been going to the Pub for over 25 years. I have seen it change management several times and ownership. Known as the largest dining room in the county, the Open Hearth brick ovens make for an excellent way to cook Steaks and Chops over an open mesquite wood fire. Their Salad Bar choices are famous, led by their unusally good tasting Zucchini Bread and fresh made Caesar Salad(no bottled dressing). Their King cut Prime Rib can feed an entire family and is as tender as it is tasty. You will find the Pub traditions and quality has endured for the most part. Their Cocktail lounge is not as popular as it used to be, mainly because of the neighborhood and increased competition in nearby Cherry Hill. Don't worry about your car though, they have a guard watching the lot.
Cap'n Cat Clam Bar of Voorhees Voorhees, NJ
Crabs, Crabs, and more Crabs. This is the place to go if you want Crab legs, but beware, it gets pricey. One of the best places to get Alasken King Crab legs, but the entree is $19.95 a pound, which is not enough for a decent appetite (mostly shell). The Combo is more reasonable for $25.95 (1 King crab, 1 Snow cluster, 1 Dungeness crab cluster)and very tasty.
Country Club Diner Voorhees, NJ
The Food is of average diner quality, the service is okay depending on what kind of mood your waitress is in. The management has an attitide that does not appreciate regular customers. We use to frequent the restaurant at least once a month, until my wife found a live bug in her lettuce. The Managements response was to take 50 cents off the bill and to act like this is normal and they were doing us a favor. Have not been back since.
Echo Pizza and Wings Voorhees, NJ
Very good Pizza and their hours are great. Open till 2am on weekends. They deliver locally. There Steak sandwhiches are very meaty but the bread is too soft and spongey. Primarily a takeout place although there maybe one or two tables in the store. They advertise alot and even if you forget the coupon they will give you the discounted price if you ask.
Library II Restaurant & Lounge Voorhees, NJ
I found the price a little excessive, the lowest priced Filet Mignon is 24.95. My wife and I cannot leave without the check including tax and tip to be in excess of 90 dollars. The Salad Bar is great, but the place is a fire trap in my opinion. Each table is candle lit and although they strive for a Romantic atmosphere, the tables are too close together to acheive the result. Best to go early at 5pm, when it first opens because the food is very good.
Ramada Inn Vineland, NJ
I like this place for a nice quiet business lunch. The Caeser Chicken salad is excellent and their lunch menu is reasonably priced. Their ambience is very elegent and the service is great. Family owned and operated, this is one of the better restaurants in this town.
New Vincentown Diner Vincentown, NJ
Good diner type food with a greek flair. If you are on the road this is a great place to stop. Priced reasonably for the portions given, I enjoyed my open faced Turkey with all the trimmings. Childrens menu for the little ones, and I thought the service was better than most other diners. They seem to appreciate your business.
Wellington and Chan Steak House Atlantic City, NJ
This Restaurant has now changed to just Wellingtons. No more Asian Flair. I disagree with the prior review because I found my meal on par with the better than average steak house. Perhaps since our meal was paid for with casino comps (Tropicana's Steakhouse) I enjoyed it a lot more. My Fillet was cooked perfectly and was a Prime cut, tasty, Juicy and tender. The baked potatoe was crunchy on the outside, tender and hot on the inside, just the way I like it. My Ceaser salad was good, although I have had better. The fresh bread was good. The total bill including a couple glasses of Zifendal was approximately $110 including taxes and tip. If you have comps, great way to use them. Reservations are necessary on weekends or you will not be able to get in.
The Oaks Atlantic City, NJ
My favorite meal is a Perfectly cooked Fillet Mignon, Baked Potatoe, Caeser Salad, and fresh baked bread. My wife and I and another couple decided to go to the Hilton Casino to see Three Dog Night(sorry giving away my age). We decide to eat at one of the gourmet restaurants and had made reservations. When we arrived we checked out the menu and did not like the choices so without reservations on a Saturday night we were able to get into The Oaks Steakhouse. Great atmosphere and the service was excellent. Although pricey $200 for the four of us including a bottle of wine. Fortunately we had enough comps for half of the bill. My wife had the Chilean Sea bass which was tender, tasty and very well prepared. Tony had the Pork tenderloin and raved about his meal. His wife had salmon and enjoyed her meal. I loved the fillet mignon and asked for their sauces on the side. They were all good and worth trying. Dessert choices were great too. I highly recommend this place, especially if you have comps. Remember, All Bally's casino properties comps are now transferable, so you can use Caesers, Claridge, Wild West and Bally's comps there.
Stage Delicatessen Atlantic City, NJ
Inside the Trump Taj Mahal is a replica of one of New York City's best Deli's, Stage Deli. The original is not as nice as this one. Here the seating is roomier, the service is friendlier and the portions are well not quite as big as NYC. To me, a Deli must have great Kosher Pickles, and the Stage did not disappoint. The Corned beef was lean and tasty. The coleslaw was fresh and the Russian dressing was thick and creamy. My wife ordered a plain turkey and it tasted fresh made. The rye bread was good, but not as fresh as I expected. The large homemade cookies are a meal in itself. If you like good quality deli food, the Stage is for you.
Virginia City Buffet Atlantic City, NJ
This used to be my favorite AC buffet, but as time goes by the quality has slipped a little. The Steaks are now stacked up on the grill and if you are not demanding you will get a dried out steak, especially if you ask for well done. Also, the quality of the steak is now select (not choice which is more expensive and used to be the standard). I have not verified with Management, not that they would tell me, but I can just tell by the amount of fat and the lack of tenderness. The deli section rye bread is no longer as fresh, and they do not seem eager to fresh cut you your deli meat like they used to. Also, the sour pickles have been served spoiled on more than one occasion. The desserts are still great, except no more fresh Oreos for the soft serve ice cream. However, the Buffet is still one of the better ones in AC.
Big John's Steaks Deli & Pizza Cherry Hill, NJ
If you want a meaty Philadelphia style Cheesesteak, then this is a good place. The french fries are not so great. The Pickle bar is a nice touch and the only reason I dine in. The service could be better. The owners should spend some money to upgrade the dining area and bathrooms. Kids menu for the little ones available.
Lamberti's Cucina Cherry Hill, NJ
My son and I recently had dinner there while my daughter was attending her ballet class. Although we ate around 6:30 pm, there were only 2 other parties in the restaurant. I ordered Veal Parm and my 16 year old son ordered Chicken Parm. the service was slow, but adequate. The veal was a smaller portion than expected but just enough. The taste was impressivley good and the veal very thin and tender. The sauce tasted homemade and they gave me a soup bowl size because I requested it on the side. The capellini tasted a little overdone, I like aldente. The salad was crisp and fresh, and the bread was a tasty sicilian pizza type without the mozzerella, served hot. My son said the Chicken Parm was very good and he finished his entire portion. Our total bill including tax and tip was $42.00.
Ponzio's Restaurant & Bakeshop Cherry Hill, NJ
The previous reviews are over three years old. This Cherry hill Landmark has a great tradition with the locals (Like Me) Some of the Bakery items, like cookies, homentashen, cakes and pies are sensational and better quality than most bakeries. Their strawberry cheesecake is great too. Dinner entrees are a bit expensive, but the portions make up for it. The fresh baked cinnamin bread and cheeserolls come in a basket with dinner rolls and rye bread. This is included with your entree. The service really depends on the server. I have had great and not so great in the many times I have been there. For a family of four the bill for dinner including tax and tip came to $75.00. I recommend Veal or Chicken Parmesian, Broiled Salmon, flounder or Haddock. This is also the perfect late night snack place and their sandwhiches are good, but not great. All in all I think you should give this place a try, if for nothing else, the bakery items.
Red Hot and Blue Cherry Hill, NJ
If you are in the mood for real tender, meaty ribs, that fall off the bones and don't mind some tasty fat, then this is the best rib place around. Their secret is to slow cook them all day. They serve with a dry sauce or wet sauce. I prefer wet. Their side dishes are baked beans and home made coleslaw. You can trade your beans for great french fries if you prefer. Live blues music on weekends, but we usually go during the week. They do have an all you can eat rib night, but their normal portions are adequate.
Short Hills Restaurant & Deli Cherry Hill, NJ
Nice atmosphere and a great place to see all the people who know people in Cherry Hill. The Food is very good and the prices are reasonable. The service is adequate too. The protions are not that great, but sufficient for most appetites. I enjoy the smoked fish platter, although the Nova Smoked Salmon is pre-sliced as in most places now-a-days. My 14 year old daughter loves the chicken matzo-ball soup. My wife says the fresh turkey sandwhich is the best around. My son loves the sweet potatoe fries (a real treat served with honey). Although there is another deli close by that is also great, Short Hills holds its own.
Baron's Steak House Clementon, NJ
I recently went there for a bowling banquet and was quite disappointed. The service was slow, The appetizers were the same as the served salad, and the entrees were served luke warm. The prime rib was not prime, and had too much fat on it. the bread was cold as in previously frozen, and the parfait desserts were poor at best. They tasted icey as in melted, refrozen and melted again. I do not recommend this place for an affair.
Berlin Diner Berlin, NJ
Their claim to fame is this is where Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck filmed a scene in their upcoming movie, Jersey Girl. As for the food, it is okay for the price. The service is friendly and efficient. This place is a perfect average diner with average diner food.
Palace Diner Restaurant Berlin, NJ
Great location at the Berlin Circle on the way to the shore from Northeast Philly. This was like the halfway point for us when I lived in Philly years ago. They have very good diner food. I thoroughly enjoyed my Purdue roasted Chicken entree. The Turkey was good also. Like mopst of the previous reviews, I have been there quite a few times. We even tried the late night desserts and were pleasantly surprised how good their Strawberry Cheesecake and Lemon Marenge Pie were. Service is always good too.
