    Felix our server was awesome! Everything arrived as ordered and perfectly warm. Manager did a great job bringing out food also so everyone could eat at the same time. There were 12 of us celebrating our friend's birthday! Area was quiet so we could enjoy our conversations with our friends.

    Applebee's has been an Edison Rt 1 staple for a loooong time. Coming here for a little family dinner, they were a bit understaffed, but the wait staff are clearly managing as best as possible. We got the 2 for $28-$32 ranges with the spinach and artichoke dip and buffalo bites. The Buffalo bites were a bit too crusty, definitely could do with more meat and less breading. The spinach and artichoke dip was amazing though, definitely nice and melty with fresh chips! I personally got the ribs this time, and can say though it did't look much, it was a pwrfect combo of savory tang and sweetness. Meanwhile, someone else in my part ordered the steak and I must admit, their cook quality has drastically decrease with their steak. Avoid the steak, and I think you are golden in having a nice dinner out here!

    Applebee's is one of those spots you remember from growing up but seem so uninspired. I was hesitant to eat here but my girls have been fascinated with the concept so I figured why not? The standard seating for a bar + grill. Families were seated away from the bar area. The children's menu was pretty varied. Pick a drink. Pick a dish. Extras for smoothies and dessert. My oldest did the taco and my youngest chose the Mac n cheese. I went with the southwest burrito bowl in a effort to pick a healthy choice. I ate the whole bowl. Simple food. The chicken had the packaged flavor like it was cooked who knows when. The rest was very fresh. My girls ate their whole meal too. Good price point for the kids menu. Nice people in general and very kid friendly option.

    My Southwest Chicken bowl was super good! The bathroom was clean. The mozzarella sticks were perfectly crisped and Will S. Provided us with great service. There is a parking lot available for use.

    TLDR: your everyday Applebees Ordered chicken wonton tacos, mozzarella sticks, and one of the 5 dollar drink specials. I'm a sucker for Applebees half price apps, especially the classic boneless Buffalo wings and mozzarella sticks. Tried the chicken wonton tacos for the first time, and they were a lot better than I expected. The 5 dollar drink was really sweet - about what you'd expect. Stretchy mozzarella? Check. Crispy fried stuff? Check. Large sweet drink? Check. This location didn't have the frozen drink, but I would still go back to hangout with friends here.

    My boyfriend and I decided to meet up for food and drinks after work. When we arrived we parked in their parking lot. There was a tiny wait to get seated but they moved quickly. We sat at a table by the bar socially distanced from others. Our server/bartender was Ally and she did her best because she was alone in the bar area. She was attentive as well. My boyfriend ordered wings and fries with a vodka tonic as well as their $5 snowball drink. He said the wings were ok but the fries were good. I only had 2 vodka tonics and they were good. It was a cheap date with no issues.

    My boys love eating here so I decided to bring them out for dinner after my son's victory in a football game. I ordered the blackened salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The salmon was cooked nicely. My sons both ordered the four cheese Mac n cheese with honey sweet chicken tenders. The portions were so large that they couldn't finish which was surprising because both of them are usually big eaters. They said it was a tasty dish, so the leftovers came home with us.

    Tommy's Tavern is definitely one of the popular places; it's always crowded if you go in during…read moreLunch or Dinner times, finding parking can be a problem too, so plan ahead. We had Brunch at "The One", the Rooftop at Tommy's and the overall setting was so beautiful. Since it was the height of summer, it was less crowded, so we were able to get seated at the sofa lounge which was more comfortable. Menu (food) is little different at the rooftop when compared to their regular Menu, but it still had a good selection. We ordered different Appetizers and Cocktails, everything tasted great. Staff are very accommodating, and the service was quick. Definitely recommend

    I did not think I would ever come back here. Not because of the experience or anything, just that…read moreit is in New Jersey which is many miles away from me across multiple states. So how did I wind up back here? Bit of a story but if you read my first review you'll see how I met a friend that I met online 13 years ago for the first time and this was the place we went for dinner after an event. Well, now a year later, her and I were traveling together north to Parsippany and this was the closest restaurant that looked appealing. It was not until we enter the parking lot I said out loud, this is where we had our first dinner. Anyways, enough of that love story. I really want to give this two stars for service but the food really pushed it over the top. So all in all I will keep it as a four star review. I want to address the food first, I had the short rib tacos, and my partner had eggplant caprice flatbread. I had a bite of hers which I absolutely enjoyed, eggplant had a nice crisp to it which really made it enjoyable. The short rib tacos... holy crap! Mind blown. I did not expect such great flavor in such a small bite. Everything about the tacos packed a punch. I would much rather have had six tacos and no chips and salsa. As for the service, this is where I got frustrated and my cash tip hopefully reconcile with my server. We dined on the rooftop which was completely empty minus a couple at the bar. We seated and ordered our beverages. I did not get my lime with my lemon water. After we ordered our meals, and received them, a server never came back to check in with us. I wasn't a big fan of her attitud either. It started to get busy I noticed that the host kept seating everyone around us when there was an entire floor to sit people at. Not sure if they're trying to keep people in one specific area but for how slow it was they certainly could've given everyone more privacy. I'm pretty sure the couple that was seated next to us got up and left for that reason. Cannot say I will not be back but who knows when I'll be traveling through again.

I noticed AFTER we ordered that there was a cocktail special that night. Our waitress never mentioned any specials, so I tried to flag her down after I had already ordered a different one not on the list. I mentioned to the hostess what I needed, and I hung out waiting for our waitress at the front. After waiting at least 15 min for her to show up from the back, I was able to ask her to change my drink order. The food here is FABULOUS. We got the housemade Irish soda bread and it was amazing. Hubby got the shepherd's pie and it was delicious. I got the lamb chops over asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was FANTASTIC ! I don't know if our waitress was new or what, but our meals were delivered without silverware. We waited several minutes, then finally flagged down another waitress so that we could eat ! If it wasn't for the poor service, this place could easily be 5 stars due to the fabulous food. Thankfully we got out of there before the live music started, loud music is not our vibe. At the very end of the meal, somehow my original drink order made an appearance (that's what I was afraid of, that she didn't cancel the order). The folks at the table next to us ordered the exact same cocktail, so when the bar tried to give it to us, the waitress told them to give it to the table next to us instead. Geez, we were already paying for our meal at the time. Lol The manager did come out and the end of the meal to ask how things were. I did mention I thought our waitress might be new. I didn't get an answer as to if she was, but I posed it more as a statement than a question.

    Started our night here. It's way bigger than you think look at it from the outside…read more We came on a Sunday and it was packed to the gills. It was also trivia night so maybe that why?

    Looking for the best wings in the area? Look no further! Tap and Growler is your local corner bar…read morethat makes the best wings with the biggest variety of flavors, hands down. Always cooked crispy to perfection without having to specify, which is how it should be. No stretchy chicken skin or rubbery meat found here! Each time we visit, we get three orders of wings to split and usually another sauce or two on the side to try. We really enjoy the dry rubs and they don't skimp on the seasoning either. There's always plenty floating in the bottom of the basket for extra dipping. I couldn't go through all the wing flavors we've had since that would take quite some time, but you should definitely try the Chupacabra and squeeze the lime. The sweet potato fries with Chipotle aioli are definitely worth getting too. Just a heads up, this place can get REAL busy during peak times (ie: Friday and Saturday night), so plan your visit accordingly. There are usually 1-2 bartenders who are also acting as servers, so it may take a few extra minutes, but it is well worth the wait. Staff has always been friendly and welcoming. TLDR: Great local bar serving up the best wings in town. Give them a few extra minutes to serve you if you show up on a Friday or Saturday

You should order your food before your drinks because the food takes awhile but it is so worth it. The food comes out hot. The wings were so crispy and we had so many options for dry and wet sauces. I got the Nashville hot dry rub. They get a really good coat of seasoning in the wings but I did wish it was SPICIER given it was three flames (the highest). Looking forward to going back and trying a new sauce.

Pretzel Bites - This time they had a honey mustard and regular cheese sauce. The honey mustard was pleasant, but the cheese sauce was thick, and force was really needed to get through to break it. Fiesta Nachos - This had tortilla chips with roasted sweet corn, queso, Pico de Gallo, jalapeno, lime crema, and avocado crema. We also added steak. This was the best item of the night. The steak was tasty and there was a nice blend of ingredients mixed in. Cheesy Macaroni Bites - This was fried macaroni and cheese. I do not remember ranch being served, but the tomato sauce was not bad. They were nicely fried, but they were just okay. Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza - This was alright. The crust was not very flavorful and cooked enough. There needed to be a bit more of a hot honey presence. Boneless Buffalo Wings - The Buffalo sauce powerful, but solid quality and nice cook on the chicken. Bone-In Wings - I had the BBQ, Buffalo, and Asian sesame flavors. The Asian sesame had a little kick, something about these intrigued me. The BBQ was a little sweet, probably due to the Dr Pepper addition? There was a little inconsistency on the wings as some needed to be a little crispier. Buffalo Chicken Dip - This was very cheesy. It needed a little more buffalo sauce, but good chunks of chicken present.
