    This was some of the better food that I have had. My boyfriend has been meaning to try this restaurant and I'm glad he brought me with. We each had the arroz con pollo which we got with a side salad. When we ordered it we asked for the smaller portion as we were having a slate lunch. Well the food came out and was more than enough for lunch and even some leftovers. We ate at 2/2:30ish and it's now 9:30 while I'm writing this review and I'm still pleasantly content/full from out lunch. I can guarantee we will be back again!

    Small quite place. Food was good. Came out fast. Portions are big. I ordered a small plate of chicken with rice and could not finish it. One waitress on a Sunday. Along with other customers , had to get up and ask for our bills. They should be better staffed.

    Norkys has been one of our family's go-to spots for Peruvian food over the years, and we've tried…read moremultiple locations. Out of all of them, this location has honestly been the one we've enjoyed the most and the one we keep coming back to. That said, over the past year or two, I do feel the food quality has declined a bit. I recently ordered the lomo saltado (the lower-priced option), and while the meat was flavorful and savory, there was a little too much broth, which made the fries and rice soggy. My husband ordered the tacu tacu with steak, but it felt like there were barely any beans in it. For the kids, we ordered salchipapa. They enjoyed it, but I was expecting the hot dogs to have a little more crisp instead of being soft. What keeps us coming back is the experience here. The restaurant is always clean, organized, and has a really nice ambiance. The staff is attentive, service is quick, and we rarely have to wait or follow up on anything. Their ají verde is still really good too. Overall, I'd say 3.5 stars for the food, but 4 stars for service, ambiance, and overall experience. I really hope the food quality improves because this location has been one of our favorites.

    Food here is consistently fantastic. I've used their catering menu multiple times when hosting…read moreguests, and it's been an excellent value every time--generous portions, great flavor, and always a crowd-pleaser. While I haven't dined in, the restaurant has a casual and inviting atmosphere from what I've seen. It is a bit on the darker side inside, but still comfortable and welcoming. The only real challenge is parking, which can be a little difficult depending on when you visit. Overall, a great spot for both takeout and catering, and I'll definitely keep coming back.

    The food was excellent! We ordered the fresh-squeezed orange juice, red velvet espresso martini,…read moretres leches French toast, and the carne asada omelette with home fries. The only small thing I'd change is that I wish the fresh-squeezed orange juice had been chilled or offered over ice. I didn't ask, though, so I can't really count that against them. The carne asada omelette was delicious--perfectly fluffy, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. The tres leches French toast had a beautifully crisp, toasted exterior while staying soft and moist in the center. We were lucky enough to be seated immediately, and the staff was friendly and accommodating, even letting us choose where we wanted to sit. The restaurant has a cute atmosphere with tasteful decor, good music, and a comfortable noise level. The restrooms were clean and updated, and parking was easy and conveniently close. Since we visited on a holiday, parking was even free. Overall, it was a wonderful brunch and a great way to start the day. One thing to note: the specialty drinks are all mocktails, so if you're looking for bottomless mimosas or a boozy brunch, this probably isn't the place for that.

    While visiting New Jersey recently I wanted to go somewhere I couldn't go to back home . That's…read morealways the goal to try out new places . So upon doing my research I came across this restaurant. Now of course upon reading reviews everyone said to get there early because the line can get long especially on a Saturday and Sunday morning. So we arrived around 8:30 on Saturday and we were seated right away because it was only two of us . The service was excellent we were seated right away . Our waiter came out and gave us the rundown of the menu . They had a promo menu because of the Devil Wears Prada movie . I did get a specialty non alcoholic drink from the menu which was excellent. We ordered the French toast and the avocado toast with scrambled eggs and it came with smoked salmon on sourdough bread . The French toast was so good and moist you didn't even need to add additional syrup . The food was delicious and the portion sizes are perfect . The restaurant is cozy so if you have a big party make reservations. But you won't be disappointed I can't wait to visit Brunch by De Martino again whenever I come back to New Jersey . Please check them out you won't regret it .

    Our Go-To Spot for BBQ - Nothing Compares!…read more We've been loyal customers of BBQ 28 since the day they opened, and after trying many other BBQ spots, nothing else even comes close. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The establishment is split into two sections. On the right side is the takeout area, where you can see the staff preparing everything right in front of you - from the perfectly chickens, steaks, ribs, to the freshly made rice. Their shrimp in garlic sauce is amazing as well as their salads, the dressing is the best, it should be bottled and sold. It's an experience just watching them cook! The food is always hot and ready, and the staff are incredibly friendly and efficient. We usually call ahead to place our order, and it's typically ready in about 20-30 minutes. On the left side is the sit-down restaurant, which has a warm, welcoming vibe. If you just can't wait to get home to enjoy your meal, you can always head next door and dine in comfortably. Whether you're grabbing takeout or sitting down for a meal, BBQ 28 never disappoints. Highly recommend - the food is always steaming hot, and the service is top-notch!

Also, stay away from the shrimp dishes - they're using low quality frozen shrimp that have not been de - veined, eew! (full of shrimp poop)
