    200.00 dollars order open nothing to do with my order

    This is the worst experience I had with a place I order 30.00 worth of food and they never deliver the right order when I got the order it was open it wasn't what I asked for that's not it since I called and complain they went into my account 5 times same night and charge me 200.00 dollars went I check my bank statement I was shock they gave me a small soup when I order a different order bad I end up paying 200 that's crazy. I try calling the place they yelled and hang up I had to call my bank to do an investigation on top this was Uber service be careful read the reviews before you order never ever again.

    For a jersey spot, I can't deny the food is pretty good if you're in the mood for Caribbean food…read more The atmosphere is very dark and there's loud music so you can't really talk much over dinner; I can see why most people order food to go. However, if you just want to go there for the vibes and have a drink while you watch cricket or some other sports game, Castle isn't a terrible spot. Just know it's pretty dead inside unless an event is occuring and there's only street parking available which can sometimes be a pain.

    I was introduced to Guyanese food by my wife who from Guyana and ever since, I have loved the…read moreChinese style fried rice that they make. We always went to Queens since she said that's the closest to Guyanese food that you'll get, but it was too far from us when we was living in the Bronx and even more now in Bloomfield. We searched and searched over here for something similar to the Guyanese-Chinese and we ended up finding this one today in Newark. No need to go to Queens anymore I found something better and cheaper than in NY. To a review that was posted about lack of quantity, go to Liberty Avenue in Queens and order the same thing at that size. I really don't see a difference other than price, and the Castle one tastes better than most that I have tasted in NYC. Now after this whole covid 19 done, hope to pack my bags and head to Guyana to have the real Guyanese Chinese food. For now, will enjoy coming to this place for a long time to come.

    I went to Applebee's expecting a quick, casual meal, and that's pretty much what I got--but nothing…read moremore. The atmosphere was decent and typical of the chain, but the experience overall felt a little underwhelming. Service was ok. My server looks as if she hasn't slept in days and seemed to be dragging herself. I was looking forward to having a least 1 drink but was told the bar was closed and it was only around 10:30PM which was disappointing One thing Applebee's does well is variety and affordability. They've got a big menu and deals like all-you-can-eat wings or combo specials, which is nice if you're on a budget. Overall, it's not terrible, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again. It's more of a "last resort" spot when you just want something quick and easy.

    In what world is it acceptable to threaten a 55-year-old man over a food order?…read more Earlier today, my father went to pick up food that was already prepared. The manager even told an employee to hand my father his order first since he arrived before others, but instead the employee ignored him and helped everyone else while the food sat there getting cold for 15-20 minutes. Fed up, my father left and went to his car. The same employee then followed him outside, started yelling, and threatened him after my father told him to just keep the food. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable behavior. If I could give negative stars, I would. Save yourself the headache and eat somewhere else.

    PJ Ryans @ The Rock - Dry over cooked patty

    Don't bother coming here for food. We stopped here before the Devils game for dinner since it was…read morethe only place with seats. Redds and Ale House was packed. We ordered a burger, chicken skewers, and a plain Caesar salad. The menu states the beef is Pat La Frieda which we find very hard to believe. The burger was dry and over cooked. The chicken skewers tasted like rubber. What I think the cooks did was grill the chicken ahead of time and stored the chicken in a fridge so when a customer orders this they can just microwave it. Gross. Then the chicken was drenched in their sauce which was not easy to even tell apart. I ordered the try all three which was Jerk, Thai, and I think bbq. I couldn't eat it and sent it back. The salad was nothing special so I didn't even finish it. When we received our bill they removed the skewers but over charged for the burger. There are two burgers priced at $10 and the other at $14. We ordered the $10 burger with no additions. I asked the manager about it and his response was that we were most likely charged that price because we added something. All I said was we didn't and he just walked away from me. He was rude and unprofessional. We paid despite the overcharge and just wanted to get out of there. Servers are just ok but the manager just doesn't care for any complaints. I even watched as he was yelling at one of the servers which was again, unprofessional. I'm sorry I wasted my time and money here. Here's to another one star review PJ's! Never again!

    55 minutes for your food, terrible beer selection, service that makes you want to punch yourself,…read moreand very medium food. If these things rock your wild then maybe this place is for you. The location and proximity to The Prudential Center will be the only thing that keeps this terrible place open.
