Thankful for such kind/accommodating hosts and subs that were fresh, delicious and gigantic. (When I say gigantic, I mean I ordered a full sub, and when it arrived, I thought I received TWO full subs. Each half measured in at 8-1/2 inches each.) The price... unbelievable. Sorry other sandwich guys, we have a new fav in New Providence. Also noticed wraps, great salads, and more listed on that menu board. Thank you Avenue Deli, for such a pleasant experience. First class.

Barth's Market

I've heard nothing but great things about Barth's Market, and I finally had the chance to check it…read moreout for myself. I'm so glad I did! Barth's is a family-run business, not a huge supermarket, which is part of its charm. The atmosphere has that welcoming, old-fashioned neighborhood market feel. Everything is clean, neatly displayed, well organized, and easy to find as you walk around. Even with such a large variety packed into the market, it doesn't feel overwhelming, and it's easy to browse and see everything they have to offer. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. They're extremely knowledgeable about their meats and are happy to offer cooking recommendations and even recipes if you're not sure how to prepare something. The meat selection is incredible. As I walked around, I saw beautiful steaks, chops, burgers, Italian and Polish sausages, chicken and veal cutlets, German cold cuts, homemade bratwurst, hot dogs, kielbasa, and a variety of wursts. They also carry organic whole chickens and chicken parts, along with homemade chicken patties and chicken sausages. If you enjoy German foods, Barth's has a nice selection of dried spaetzle and other German-style noodles, along with Kabanos and other specialty items. They also have a fresh fish department. What really surprised me was how much more they offer besides meat. You can pick up homemade prepared foods and entrées, locally sourced fresh breads, milk, eggs, dairy products, drinks, fresh vegetables, salads, condiments, and plenty of other items to put together an entire meal. I bought steaks, Italian sausage, kielbasa, bread, and Kabanos sausage, and everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. The quality of the meats at Barth's is truly outstanding, and you can tell they take pride in what they sell. There's a free parking lot attached to the building, which is very convenient along with a couple of handicapped spaces, and they even have some outdoor seating if you want to grab a sandwich or something to eat and enjoy it outside. I can definitely see why I've heard so many good things about Barth's. Great quality, knowledgeable and friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and an impressive selection. I highly recommend checking them out. I'll definitely be back!

If you enjoy eating at the Cheesecake Factory or Chili's or Olive Garden you will be very happy eating food from Wonder. It is a solid food experience. (Although I did not care for the escarole&artichoke. Woefully under-seasoned. The good thing about Wonderful is that they offer food from a "variety" of "different" "celebrity" restaurants. So if you want tacos and your wife wants Greek food or pizza, this is a good one stop one delivery charge. And another good thing is a wide variety of beverages and desserts and a children's menu. The truth of the matter is that they approached a bunch of famous chefs and licensed their names and then they dumbed down their menu so that they could make it fast and easy with competent kitchen staff as opposed to trained culinary professionals. I ordered the DiFara pizza. I have been to DiFara's pizza when the original guy was still alive trimming the basil from the plants on his window sill. This was not a DiFara pizza. As I type this that man is not just turning over in his grave he is whirling like a dervish. They were nice enough to include the instructions on the pizza box. It starts with 1 square pie shell. I don't think they use frozen pie shells at DiFaras. If you bought Air Jordans and thought you would play basketball like Micheal Jordan you are in for another disappointing experience. If you want a variety of decent food, competently prepared? Have at it.

They also have a private party room where we hosted a holiday lunch for about 30 people. Everything was well organized, the service was attentive, and the event went smoothly. We've been back several times since, and every visit has been consistently enjoyable. Definitely a solid local restaurant and bar that's worth checking out.

I installed the JS app and placed my order ahead of time that way. I got the Edamame Crunch warm bowl for me. He wanted the Tokyo Super greens with tofu and a PB smoothie. This Sunday, my husband and I had lunch at the JS location in Livingston. It's nice inside! The building looks small from the outside, but it feels much roomier when you go inside. Lots of seating, toddler friendly with high chairs. Like the DQ and Twisted Tulip, there are also outdoor tables for when the weather is nice. The guy who took my order and made our salads was friendly and polite. JS promotes sustainability also, which we like and try to live by. Utensils are compostable, and JS does this reusable bowl option when ordering takeout/to-go (didn't try this yet)... We're fans and would recommend Just Salad.

Not an enthusiastically happy bunch but not at all rude. Most of my complaints are likely related to management, as staff generally require training and support to be above average. My comparisons here are to Chopt, where I get elite status by March or April every year. -They forget to add the included bread at least 75% of the time. -The crispy chicken is like 1990's frozen nuggets. -The bowls for salads are shallow, small, and never close to full. -The wraps are fairly small. -Dressing amounts vary from just right to way too much. -My order is never ready on time. I've learned to order way in advance. -Drive through is great, but no waiting area or queue management (ie. "pull over there and we'll bring it out") for people who they need significant time to prepare orders for, so everyone sits in line. -Seemingly zero ventilation. It smells like you're eating in the kitchen. Very strong smorgasbord of food odors, if that bothers you. -Rewards system is ULTRA stingy about earning a free bowl (you get a raffle reward with each order and have to collect eight stamps for a free salad, but the stamps expire before you could ever possibly collect eight unless, I assume, you come nearly every day). Those are my complaints after years of eating there. On the positive side, and the reason I keep coming back: -The food is fresh. The non-fried chicken is delicious. -It's in a great location for a lot of people at the corner of Eisenhower and Route 10. -Plenty of options, including bowls. My wife likes the soup. -Drive through. -Rewards system usually gives a free snack/sweet or canned seltzer for next visit. Overall, I'm happy to eat here despite the prices not really reflecting the smaller portions. It's slightly cheaper than Chopt, but I would likely only eat at Chopt if it were closer to my house. I'll keep coming but after I received a very small salad yesterday (still delicious) and they forgot my bread again yesterday, I decided to write this, hoping someone sees it. Right now, this location has a captive market but it's a nearby quality competitor away from losing a customer.

It was a full restaurant and even without a reservation they accommodated us outdoors after a long wait. The focaccia bread for the table was so good. I ordered the chicken palard and the waiter made a point that it doesn't have any sauce, that it's "just chicken grilled with sautéed mushrooms on top". Despite this resounding endorsement, I ordered it. If I was the waiter, I would've said it's a simple, comfort dish of tender chicken with a savory blend of sautéed, buttery mushrooms. It's served with small side of penne marinara and I enjoyed the simplicity of this too. Unfortunately I was the only one happy and here are the misses. Cavetteli con ricotta, unlike the picture online with a dollop of ricotta on top, they blended the ricotta into the pasta. This diluted the flavor and made kind of a mush of things. The pasta was al dente and all the food was served hot, big points in my book. No need to write about the disappointing pizza, just look at the picture. Service was good and the atmosphere sitting outside was nice. The table before must have made a mess and there were fries all over the ground. I would've preferred they clean it up but never did. I'd come back but not sure I can convince my family.

Finally got my wish! Honeygrow's menu is a much needed break from the fried stuff dominating the area. The menu offers clean options and so many different flavor combinations.

With each season they offer new flavors and you can even buy sauces to take home! What I will say is that the food is not super filling. For me that's a plus because I would rather not be super full after each meal. That said, it would be cool if they added size options for the meals.
