    Chicken franchese
    Hank C.

    They are popular, a 90min seating limit outside and a big lot to expand to if they need more space. Lots of space heaters outside and seating inside if you're vaccinated. Enter though the open back space that faces the forest area and you get seated by the host. It's warm today and there are hornets all over so be careful if allergic, constant interruption to the meal. For an Italian restaurant, they have surprisingly little in the way of pasta dishes (different part of Italy perhaps?) which I was looking forward to trying a short rib cavatelli or something similar. I ended up having to settle for the chicken franchese special and it disappointed; the chicken was cooked a little too long, pasta was too soggy, well past al dente, and the color brightly yellow which was disturbing and suggested food coloring as the butter flavor went lacking. The chicken Milanese was better as a salad plus chicken though the other diners gave up on the onions, guess a bit too strong. Bread in the table was good, but butter was rock hard and too tough to spread, no olive oil and vinegar in sight. After lunch coffee, out of there cups, two had coffee all over the side due to sloppy pours, could have been wiped off nicely before giving to us, but a lack of detail here. Ditto the water glass which was dusty possibly from being outside. Left feeling unsatisfied. Will have to try a burger next time, next door seemed to have the right idea there. Most of the crowd was in the older age, guess a weekday noontime is mostly a retirees crowd here or from the local elderly care home.

    My family lived in Livingston for many years, passed by this place countless times and moved out of Livingston but have never been to Nero's. We decided to give it a try for my mom's 73rd birthday. I was a little nervous because the mixed reviews. First, it's a beautiful establishment with both indoor and outdoor seatings. Second, the service is great. I made a reservation for today but for some reason it was put in for next Sunday. They quickly put a table for us for 9 people. Now the food, it is decent but I do agree with other reviews that for the price you pay, it could be better. We asked for medium rare for our ribeye but it was well-done. We told the waitress and she was very nice and cool about it and they made us new ones. When you didn't do it right the first time, you do it very right the next time and they did. We all enjoyed the calamari a lot and the kids liked the pizza. We also brought a cake and they were nice to bring it out and give us plates and silverware even when they have a full house. Overall, it was a good dining experience.

My nephew who lives nearby treated us to an al fresco meal recently while visiting for a family event. My pulled pork smashed burger was everything you want in a packed meat sandwich, with an onion ring and tangy sauce on the brioche bun. The sweet potato fries and a refreshing mocktail to drink made for a perfect meal. Sweetie ate a pasta bolognese (I think) which looked and ate good, and drowned it with a nice glass of red wine. It was packed on the Friday night we visited, with folks lined up for seating, or to hang at the bar and enjoy the bar scene. No reservations. Our late dinner worked fine as the mostly millennial and Gen-Z crowd started thinning shortly after we arrived. Millburn has always been a draw for neighboring townsfolk in search of a meal out. I remember this foodie town from 25 years ago, when its pizza, kosher and diner offerings were top notch. It seems to have upgraded its food scene several notches since my last visit so many years ago. Pure nostalgia for me which made for a very flavorful evening. TOP TIP: Street parking in this part of town is a hassle and the local cops keep a sharp eye for illegally parked cars and inebriated drivers. So park further away from the center of town where you are more likely to snag a legal spot on a busy night.

    This place was great. We were in the area for an event, and found this place. I'm so glad I stopped…read morein. The wait was long; unfortunately we were there on a holiday. But, we grabbed a seat at the bar, when they opened up. I ordered a tea and burger. Eventually when it came out and remade, it did come out hot, fresh, and fully cooked. I do know they were having a busy night, but my food ended up being awesome! I would definitely stop back in if I was in the area. I recommend this spot, if you haven't been here. It's right at the train station. So you can see and hear the train fly through, when you're seating. The building is also very nice, with dark mood lighting; it's definitely a cool spot to stop at.

    The food, the service the ambience is gonna be everything that you need on a night out…read more I had the pleasure of going to boxcar bar and grill on women's appreciation day. So yes, this review is slightly late but in my defense, my phone was broken and I had to get the photos. I like intimate settings, and I love when they're paired with amazing food. I have a thing for tuna so when I see it on the menu, I definitely have to order it. I got it medium originally. I enjoyed it, but I sent it back to be cooked well which was even better. That was so cool. It was an option. My waiter was Frank. He let me know. I could send it back to get cooked more. My Bestie ordered the mushroom raviolis. I'm not really a mushroom fan, but the ravioli was awesome. So if you want to try mushroom differently, I do recommend this dish. Noni's chicken was basically smothered chicken, mashed potatoes and spinach. I'm Jamaican so that was a good spin on what I'm used to which is my stew chicken. I'm surprised how crispy and tasty the chicken wings were. I honestly expected them to be messed up, but that's the best part about going to new restaurants you have to be open to surprises. Shawn, I'm not sure if he's the manager most likely is he came around and said hello just to make sure we were enjoying our time. We definitely want to make this spot more of a regular spot for us. We truly enjoyed it. Everything came up to like $200. It's also a train station so in the back it's the restaurant but you can see that during the day it's a functioning train station. I thought that was so cool. When we left the restaurant and got to our car, a train was riding by so it just gives a very good "movie feel". Especially if you're like me and you romanticize your life. Well done Box Car.

I ordered the vodka pasta and I'm guessing the pasta was fresh because it was very overcooked and essentially mushy. The sauce was good but due to the texture, I almost couldn't eat it. We had a salad with a balsamic dressing which was delicious although we had to ask for extra sauce as it barely had any to begin with. Others had the chicken Milanese which looked delicious and was a great portion size. The sauce on the meatballs was fresh and flavorful but I did not try the meatball itself. I do think this place deserves more than 3 stars just from the flavors and from observing the experience of others, but I can only rate based on what I ate and my own experience. Now that I've seen the full menu, I would consider going back and trying other items.
