    Chicken Walnut Salad
    Krystle T.

    Came in for lunch on a Saturday and we had no issues finding parking or getting seated right away. We ordered the Stuffed French Toast with Blueberries, Chicken Walnut Salad, and a side of Home Fries to share. The salad was ok and I wish there were more greens it - seemed like such a small serving for how much chicken came with it. Breakfast Potatoes were crunchy so pretty happy about that. Would give this place another try and maybe order one of the breakfast options instead.

    Tall stack o pancakes.  Perfect.

    Outside of a traditional diner not sure where you can order a legit stack of pancakes and wings anyway you want them with your choice of hot and sweet sauces at the same time ( and a Ship Bottom beer on draft). We were seated quickly on a Saturday night even with the Flyers on and the food came out really fast which is solid for the little ones that may accompany you. Zapper sauce was tasty and had the kick that was advertised. Minimal sweat outside of the face tackling just 5 of em. Wings were breaded and meaty so no complaints there. The place is massive and it looks like they got the staffing to keep it up even when it's busy. Good for them ... I hope they open up more of these joints.

    Could use a good cleaning.

    The food was acceptable, but delivered sloppily. I had to send my first draft beer back because it had a floater in it.our server was very sweet and efficient and the atmosphere is amazing. My problem is with all this going for them they seem to have put cleanliness on the back burner. There was also a slightly sour smell in the bar area. They would definitely benefit from a good deep cleaning.

    Candied Bacon, Chicken Slammer, Fat Chegg

    We went Sunday during the FIFA games and it was moderately busy. The vibe of the place is better than the food. I wouldn't recommend this place for lunch or dinner if you're looking for something with amazing food. It's bar level food. Very mid. We got the candied bacon. While the flavor was good, the consistency/ texture was that of Thanksgiving ham slices. There was no crisp to it at all. Very soft and flexible. Fat cheg wrap and the chicken Slammer sandwich with grilled chicken. My bf said he wouldn't order the Fat cheg again. Wasn't very good. My sandwich was decent but extremely messy. The sweet potato's were decent though.

    Chicken & Waffle

    I went there twice in one week ! Everyone enjoyed their food including my kids who loved their kids meals . One had a burger the other had the Drummies ( chicken nuggets) . In my 2 visits had the bee sting wings and breakfast tacos my first time and then a chicken cheese steak with bee sting sauce and blue cheese my second. I LOVED the wings ! I was even more of a fan of the chicken cheese steak with bee sting sauce. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great . It is much bigger than it looks on the outside . Both times the service was great. Just an FYI this a busy place for brunch but they seat you quicker than their initially given times. This may be my new spot !!!!

    Stopped in on the morning of the 4th of July. Wanted breakfast and coffee and we came to the right place! Our waitress was awesome! Friendly and personable-the best combo! My friend and I both ordered the same thing-chicken on a waffle with sausage gravy. It was so good!! Oh and the coffee comes in big mugs! Loved it! This was my second time here and I'll be back!

    i have 30$ on the phillies and wouldn't put the pre game, so i sat at the bar waiting for 3 hours till the game started. bartender offered a shot called a "rumplmint" got very drunk, lost my 30$ , woke up with a hangover and i couldnt make work the next day. #gophills love this place, going back later!

    Went here for the first time on a Thursday morning. I liked that you can order whatever on the menu at anytime the restaurant is opened. I got the watermelon mimosa. It was ok but it wasn't my particular preference. Service was fine. The stir fried chicken was just ok. I did not care for the amount of chili sauce on it.

    Such a fun chicken restaurant! A large restaurant where you can enjoy food with the family, or watch any sports games happening. And all of their food is available all day long -- I ordered my "swamp sauce" tenders at 10am! They have 18 sauces, plus dry rubs, available. The "swamp sauce" I ordered my tenders to be tossed in was a sweet Cajun sauce - perfectly sweet and spicy! Very rich in flavor. The chicken was well-cooked, very juicy and tender and delicious. The fries were crisp and good as well. My daughter ordered the chocolate chip pancakes, which they did not skimp out on the chocolate chips. She loved them, as well as her bacon. Our server was so friendly, very knowledgeable, and our food came out hot, fresh, and quick. I would love to go back and try more of their food!

    After all the terrible reviews I guess we were lucky we had great service from LJ and we enjoyed all our food and drinks. I would say the libations could have been stronger, I didn't taste any alcohol at all. The place is super cute, I like the fun aesthetic and will definitely be back to try breakfast/brunch items. 8/10 overall

    We old timers from Beach Haven knew Chicken or the Egg as the somewhat bizarre breakfast/lunch joint that made customers sign a liability release before participating in a Ludicrous Chicken Wing Eating Contest. Many of us accepted the challenge and promptly lost our shit when the spice quotient was so off the charts that it blew out our mouths in flames. The newer CHEGG in Marlton is a lovely hangout, more sports bar than full blown wing spot, still capable of blowing you up, but less dependent on that gimmick to bring you in the doors. The menu is broad and deep, with plenty of choice any time of day. My son and stepson still wanted to try the killer wings, but were smart enough to order real food as well if the Ludicrous Wing contest fell apart, as it inevitably did. One had a Turkey Wrap, and the other a Standard Burger and French Onion Soup. Those five conflagrationary wings proved too much to consume even with multiple glasses of milk to extinguish the fire, came home as three, with full episodes of gasping, sweating, tearing, moaning and running to the restroom. Their other food was fine, if not exceptional, and my Farmers Breakfast Melt (eggs, sausage, ham, onion, pepper, cheese) in a bowl, actually a quite good first meal of the day. Better than I recall available in Beach Haven. So, the Marlton shop is an upgrade for sure, with plenty of space in either large barroom or separate dining areas. Colorful, loud rock, and friendly servers in black Ts, making the experience as attractive as possible. Although close to an hour from home in Bucks, worth the trip to Jersey for the fun and flames. We agreed we would come again, despite the $100+ price tag for the three of us without a bar tab.

    Exceptional Service from Tajonna Lawler Fleming's Steakhouse…read moreWe have been regular guests at Fleming's Steakhouse for many years, and it continues to be one of our favorite places to dine and celebrate special occasions. We recently celebrated our anniversary at Fleming's, and Tajonna Lawler helped make our evening especially memorable. She personally came to our table to welcome us and took the time to have a genuine conversation with us. She listened with sincere interest and made us feel truly valued as longtime guests. In a time when exceptional customer service can be difficult to find, Tajonna stands out. Her warmth, professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care for her guests are qualities that make a lasting impression. We sincerely appreciated the time she spent with us and the personal attention she gave to our anniversary celebration. Tajonna is an exceptional manager, and Fleming's is a better restaurant because of her leadership and commitment to its guests. Thank you, Tajonna, for making our evening so special. We look forward to many more wonderful visits to Fleming's! -- Lori & Steve

    This was only my second time at the Chop House (my first being about year ago for my wife's…read morebirthday) even though my wife's family are what you could call regulars. My wife again chose The Chop House for her birthday dinner celebration and for great reason! We came on her birthday, a Tuesday evening, for drinks and appetizers in the bar area. The gentleman working valet was very respectful and professional and while I can take or leave valet in most cases, he definitely added to the upscale experience of the entire night. Upon seating ourselves at a high-top, both bartenders on shift greeted us with huge smiles and very warm hello's. They are familiar faces to my wife's family and were genuinely happy to see us. Unfortunately, we learned my wife's family's favorite server, Debbie, recently retired but great for her! The bartenders were fabulous themselves. Service, personability, mixology skills were all top-notch. They fit the sophisticated vibe of the restaurant perfectly. We started with drinks of course! A Stoli Elit Martini with a twist, a Dirty Martini, an Apple Butter Old Fashioned, and a Tito's and Club. The drinks came out beautifully. Smooth, chilled. I ordered the Apple Butter Old Fashioned as I was intrigued, but skeptical. While I thought it was good, I'd prefer a regular or Smoked Old Fashioned to the Apple Butter. My wife loved it though. We ordered lots of food to split and each appetizer we picked was as good if not better than the next. The Tuna Nachos fresh and had a tropical, savory flavor with pineapple mixed in. The Kona Tips were tender, full of flavor coming from the Kona crust and sautéed mushrooms/onions, and were served in a skillet full of sauce perfect for soaking up with bread. I actually liked the Kona Tips appetizer more than I liked the Kona Crust I got on my NY Strip I ordered last year (the Strip was great I'd just prefer no Kona crust on the entree). The Flatbread De Jour was a Kona Tip flatbread, which you may call us crazy for ordering two Kona Tip inspired appetizers, but the Kona Tips are just that good. The Oysters we had were small (just how I like them) and were up there with the best Oysters I've had. We finished up with Fried Calamari. They were lightly battered, fried nicely, tender, and served over a bed of different hot peppers (when I say hot, I mean it!). Everything was delicious and there wasn't one appetizer we chose that I wouldn't order again or recommend to others. We did order a few more drinks throughout the night -- another Elit Martini and a Hendrix Martini with the appetizers and then Bailey's on the rocks and Frangelico on the rocks as after dinner, dessert drinks. We ordered a Brownie Sundae for the table for my wife's birthday while she was excused from the table and the bartender brought it out with a lit candle. The bartender also brought out a complementary miniature Crème Brûlée for my wife as she acknowledged The Chop House's Crème Brûlée as one of her favorites earlier in the night when we were talking about the menu. I thought the entire night went as good as you could have hoped. Valet, bar service, food, drinks, desserts, atmosphere. Everything was amazing and most importantly my wife had a great birthday. This is two years in a row we celebrated her birthday at The Chop House and I wouldn't mind seeing this turn into her birthday tradition.

    My NY Strip was very good. My wife had some halibut special and she loved it. We had a reservation…read moreso there was no waiting. Place is well run. I did order the lobster bisque and wasn't impressed. Wawa had better bisque last winter, just being honest. I ordered the potatoes and broccoli. Both were fantastic. Service was great. Looking forward to my next meal there. Probably won't go steak but pork chop or some special.

    WHAT A WONDERFUL SEND OFF!…read more My closest co-workers took me to dinner the night before my last day working with them . . . so bittersweet! I was wow'd as soon as we entered the beautiful reception area. Very pretty decor and I liked the open concept. Sweet and friendly hostesses. We started with wine and a Malibu Bay Breeze for me - all were pretty and perfect! I ordered their seasonal dish - Chicken Limone! It was so tender and tasty! I asked that the vegetables that came with it be subbed for a Caesar, which Vincent, our great server said was no problem, but after I got home, I saw that we were charged for the salad. Let me tell you - one of the best Caesar salad versions that I have EVER had! Fresh, crisp and the croutons HAD TO BE HOUSEMADE! They weren't crisp, like usual - they were slightly on the soft side and so darn yummy! My favorite co worker tried seafood risotto (for the first time). I told her how some places didn't make it right - it was often more like rice than risotto. THE REAL DEAL HERE! i could tell by sight and she loved it! Others had varied meals that they ALL LOVED! Since I love bargains and going online, the day prior, I found out that BRIO has a partnership with "inkind" and I signed up and got $30 off of our meal!!! Simple sign up and execution. You also earn points for future savings! What a memorable evening. I'm definitely going back and have already told my parents and friends about BRIO!

The Salmon Fresca at first bite I wasn't sure if I would like it but it turned out to be really good. Only bad part were the sweet potatoes were still kind of firm.

    Extremely disappointing experience tonight at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill on Mother's Day…read more My wife and I waited about 15 minutes just to be seated while watching at least five groups who walked in well after us get seated first. According to the greeter, they were all walk-ins too. I tried to brush it off as Mother's Day chaos and stay understanding. Unfortunately, it only got worse from there. After finally being seated, we waited around 45 minutes for our food. My wife ordered the steak penne, and it arrived not even lukewarm. I ordered a ribeye that was undercooked and completely unseasoned. To make matters worse, our silverware was dirty, and we had to ask twice just to get clean forks and knives. Even then, we waited another 10 minutes before we could actually eat. What makes this especially disappointing is that this restaurant meant something to us. This was where we had our first date, our wedding night dinner, and our first anniversary dinner. We came back expecting a special night and left genuinely let down.
