    Cheese Burger and Fries
    Steve S.

    I recently came here to try out their lunch specials. I drive by this place often, and always see the sign outside on the highway that mentions their $9 lunch specials. So, my girlfriend and I stopped by on a weekday for some lunch. We got seated right away. Our waitress was very helpful too. The full menu looks good and offers lots of options. But this review is only based on the lunch menu and deals. For the prices, you can't beat that. A very nice selection of $9 lunches. I like that all come with fries too. We tried the cheeseburger one and the chicken blt one. They were both good. I enjoyed the chicken blt more of the two. But I really loved how cheap our lunch bill was. We will definitely be coming back for more lunches here. And I would like to try out some dinner meals too at some point.

    The ambiance in this restaurant is very clean and wood laden. Nicole was our server. She was fantastic and gave us great recommendations. The food was delicious. I had the eggplant parmigiana sandwich. It was light and the tomato sauce was very good. We will be back.

    Flounder with crabmeat stuffing!

    Moved to Hazlet a few months ago, and have been frequenting this restaurant. So far, not disappointed. Food fresh and reminds me of my old neighborhood in SI, NY. Servers are great too!

    buffet we had, it was okay nothing special. Mostly italian food we had. Service was okay too

    Broccoli soup & salad - one included with meal (soup varies per day.) also, sangria which is fabulous!
    Samantha S.

    Yesterday's is a large Italian restaurant in Hazlet, quite close to our house. We have gone to yesterday's for dinner, happy hour, and for larger occasions (repass and a birthday party.) yesterday's has a large private room and a back area for smaller events. Typically, I find the service to be hit or miss here- aside from the bartenders, who are always friendly and make a delicious drink. I will also state that whenever ordering "to go" meal here, I find their portions to be just as large and they're always made correctly, which is a big plus sign in my book personally. In terms of food, their menu is quite extensive. Something that I do feel is a less impressive point is that prior to Covid, yesterday's had an extensive salad bar included in all meals (which had salad, soup, mussels, and homemade rolls.) after Covid, this salad bar never reopened- but a soup and salad was still included in your meal. As of recently, only one is included with your meal (soup OR salad.) while I understand prices are raising all over, having portions taken away was disappointing nonetheless. For appetizers, we enjoy their homemade pizza and cheese fries! On a more positive note, their food portions here are large and their drinks are well made. Typically I get penne vodka and this is one of the only places I will get this. Their vodka sauce is creamy and delightful. (Personally, I get the vodka sauce on the side, because the portions are so large so I like the same quality when reheating.) Pro: large portions and creamy penne vodka!!! Con: no more salad bar Overall, yesterday's has a delicious Italian meal and a nice space for larger events.

    Excellent Food and service. This place gives large portions and includes a soup OR a salad with your entree along with some biscuits. The bread was nice and hot and the salads were very fresh. My broiled stuffed flounder was out of this world and enough for two meals. A definite must!

    Shrimp and broccoli in puff pastry. Side salad and a destroyed Cosmo!

    Sorry, the food was so good that I forgot to stop and take the photos. This place is like walking into an episode of Cheers. The locals know each other's name and all of the staff as well. The menu includes regular bar food but then goes above and beyond with an amazing selection of authentic Italian cuisine that is very reasonably priced. If you are ever in this area, take a detour off of the parkway and enjoy a part of history and true neighborhood spirit.

    If I gain weight from 2020 it will be their fault. I'm addicted to their veal parmigiana! I dont understand why their sauce is so good!

    Finally tried Lubrano's, had heard good things from friends. Decided to just go the take out route…read moreso no comments on dish presentation. We ordered the Pasta Al Forno as an appetizer & Chicken Scarpariello for the main dish. Was quoted 35-40 min when I called it in, arrived ~30 min, paid & food came out near the 40 min quote. The pasta - for us the cheese on top was perhaps over toasted as it was on the dry side. Flavor was fine otherwise. Not sure I'd order this for a main dish without added protein though. The Chicken Scarp - excellent. The chicken & potatoes were very tender. The mild sausage makes this dish come together, it adds a level of savoriness to complement the balsamic sweetness in the sauce. I also like the long angled slices of sausage nicely seared on each side, it was not expected vs other versions that I've had. Meal also came with bread to soak up that chicken sauce. Also noting the place seemed packed, only 2 spots on their lot were open plus it sounded busy inside. Will try it next time onsite with one of my many fine bottles of wine. :)

    This location is right off the highway with plenty of parking…read more Cute little place with a diner kind of vibe. We had the calamari and the sausage and broccoli rabe for appetizers were delicious. We all had different entrees, we were all happy with our choices and had enough for lunch the next day. The service here was to par very attentive. I will be back.

The…read morerestaurant was beautifully decorated for the holiday season, creating such a warm and inviting atmosphere. They also have a pizzeria conveniently located right next door, which is a nice bonus. The service was outstanding--Alessandro was the best! He recommended his signature cocktail, the Orange Cosmopolitan, and all I can say is WOW. Perfectly made and dangerously good--they definitely sneak up on you! He checked in on us throughout the evening, always friendly and engaging, which truly elevated the experience. The food was just as impressive: Pollo Milanese - a perfectly cooked chicken cutlet topped with fresh mozzarella, arugula, cherry tomatoes, onions, shaved Parmesan, and a bright lemon vinaigrette. Pollo Carbonara - topped with prosciutto, spinach, peppers, and fontina cheese, served over penne pasta. Alaska Chicken (special) - stuffed chicken with shrimp, roasted tomatoes, spinach, and cheese in a rich cream sauce, served with saffron risotto. Absolutely delicious. For dessert, we shared a toasted almond cake and a caramel cheesecake cone--paired with cappuccinos, of course. The perfect ending to a great meal. It was a wonderful evening shared with wonderful people, made even better by Alessandro's exceptional service. Highly recommend this restaurant, and we will definitely be back to try more dishes!
