I've been to many different states and no one comes close to these perfect cheese fries. It's not a pile of fries with a square of cheese melted on the top, or fries with nacho cheese on top. I can't even explain what this cheese is but it's a perfect cheese sauce that is mild yet still flavorful and pairs perfectly with the crispy yet potato-y crinkle cut fries. They are usually very generous with the cheese sauce also which gives them big points in my book! They also have a solid chicken sandwich, and I enjoy the burger called burger express, it tastes different from other fast food burgers I am not sure why. Their biscuits are definitely microwaved so pass on that. If I decide to be on the healthier side, I really like their chicken panini or wrap. It's grilled chicken with roasted red pepper, mozzarella and balsamic- very tasty and comes with a side of fries. The baked potato soup is delicious, it's thick and kind of just like eating mashed potatoes with all the baked potato fixings. They are always doing a "burger of the month" special and I've never tried any but they always sound interesting! I remember the inside being nice but to be honest I'm a drive thru kind of girl when it comes to burger express. Drive thru is open 24/7 which is awesome and convenient, especially in a town like Carteret where your options are slim especially late at night. 5/5

All three items came out to $28 which is a bit pricey if you ask me, but this meal can definitely be for 2 people. A lot of food and filling.

Food was amazing. Very flavorful and great heat!…read more I was excited to try this place so I orders a bunch of stuff. I ordered the basic things to try, butter chicken, paneer palak samosa and briyani. There have been times when I've ordered food that was a tad bit salty but this was not one of those locations. Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were enough to feed the family and have lunch. I loved that so please don't change lol Service was great too. The place was clean and had good music when I was there. It's nice to have a local restaurant that offer great foods.

We tried a plain pie and a buffalo chicken, and both came out hot with great flavor. Gina is always a pleasure and always provides excellent service to all her customers. The pizzas are thin enough that you can easily share a couple with the table, which is honestly the best way to enjoy this style. The edges had a nice crisp while the center stayed cheesy and satisfying. If you're a fan of bar-style pizza, this spot definitely delivers. Simple, crispy, and really well done. Will keep coming back for more!!

DoorDash Pizza Diaries: Strawberry's Pub & Pizza…read more If I deliver it, I gotta try it. That's the rule. So after countless miles, red lights, and "leave at door" ninja drops, I finally grabbed a slice from Strawberry's Pub & Pizza--and yeah, this one earns its spot in the rotation. The vibe? Classic neighborhood pub energy. The kind of place where the TVs are always on, the locals actually know each other, and the pizza isn't trying to reinvent itself with truffle oil or an identity crisis. Just solid, honest pizza doing its job. The slice: thin but not sad, crispy where it counts, foldable without flopping like a bad screenplay. The sauce has that slightly sweet, slightly tangy balance, and the cheese? Just enough to stretch, not enough to slide off and burn your chin. Respect. As a DoorDasher who's eaten pizza in more parking lots than I care to admit, this is exactly the kind of slice you want mid-shift--satisfying, not greasy-bomb heavy, and absolutely worth the pit stop. Bonus points for fast service and a staff that moves like they've done this a thousand times (because they have). Dash Verdict: If you're ordering from Strawberry's--good choice. If you're dashing past Strawberry's--stop and grab a slice. If you're me--you're adding it to the "NJ Mom & Pop Pizza Approved" list. Until the next delivery... stay crispy.

We ordered a chicken Caesar wrap, cheesesteak wrap and perfect penne. Both wraps came with waffle fries and were on the smaller side. My fiancé and dad said the wrap were good. Instead of the perfect penne I got penne ala vodka. Not sure if it was entered in wrong or if the kitchen got confused but I didn't bring it up to the waitress since it wasn't a big deal. The pasta wasn't bad. Service was good. I don't think there's too many outdoor bars in the area so we might come back for a drink but the food didn't wow us.

Her attitude was so nasty, according to her she had to charge us for the green teas because she felt like we did not tip her well. She did not even let me finish giving her the tip money and became upset with the singles we had. Don't trust these bartenders. It's the principal behind it. Don't say it is on the house and then charge us for it. I can easily afford 3 green teas, but don't be petty about the situation. First and last time going to this bar. Update: Now Nick the business owner is denying this is "not his business" Please, don't be ridiculous! How do I know the live band there was playing Sway by Dean Martin last night? Why would I make this up?? I am not the only person here complaining about the same bartender! Instead of denying things, why don't you take these reviews into consideration and improve on your business?
