We tried Maria's Brunch for a brunch date and really enjoyed it! It was our first time here, and…read moreeveryone was friendly and welcoming. I'm vegetarian and don't eat eggs, so I ordered the Mexican Chilaquiles without egg. They were super helpful and substituted the egg with beans and mushrooms, which I really appreciated. A lot of places will just remove the egg, so it was nice that they actually replaced it with something. The chilaquiles were flavorful and filling. My husband got the Quesadilla Mex with veggies, and it was HUGE! It was thick and stuffed really well. He couldn't even finish it. It came with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and a small basket of fries. For the price, I think the portions here are really good. I also got the iced Coko Moko Latte with coconut syrup, chocolate, and a shot of espresso. Really liked this one! The coconut and chocolate went surprisingly well together with the coffee. The location is convenient too, close to downtown Metuchen and Whole Foods, and they have their own parking lot, which is always a plus around this area. Good food, good portions, friendly service, and a really nice brunch date overall. We'll definitely be back!

Orchard Park is one of the places I think of when a special occasion is coming up, and I find a…read morereason to be here every few months. It has a nice, elevated atmosphere, so you should dress semi-formal. Prices are on par with other upscale restaurants. The food has always been excellent and the service as well, most of the time. You absolutely MUST get the Clothesline Bacon as an appetizer. Make sure you slice some pickle with it and squeeze a little lemon juice on top! The manager urged us to try it that way during one of our visits - we never looked back. Rather than eating in the dining area, we chose to sit at the bar for their Foxy Hour (Happy Hour) offerings. There are plenty of tables surrounding the bar as well. We had the Clothesline Bacon, 6 Oysters, Hipster Fries, Spicy Lobster Mac, and we each got the happy hour burger. Everything tasted great, but the hipster fries were a little greasy and lacked the shishito peppers they had last time. We finished off with the Eclair Trio dessert from the Specials Menu. On two separate occasions we were seated at an awkward table in the back of the restaurant, right near the kitchen service area and door to the outside patio. We weren't thrilled to be there, as there was constant traffic in and out of the kitchen and through the doors. I think they should just do away with those seats, so everyone can have a relaxing dining experience no matter where they're sat. If you've got a special occasion coming it, Orchard Park is worth checking out!

I called on a Sunday evening and to my surprise...NO WAIT! We arrived around 7:45 pm and had a table immediately. There are lots of tables indoors and also a pretty large outdoor section as well. I peeped a private room as well for events, which is good to know. The inside gives a rustic vibe, but a bit more elevated. We realized that they have Happy Hour all day on Sunday, so I grabbed one of their many beer options and my girlfriend chose their $7 Margarita. We also ordered their handmade mozzarella sticks to start, which were absolutely amazing. Crisped to perfection and a flavorful sauce on the side. For our main meals, I decided on the B2 Wings with Old Bay and she had the fish tacos. The wings came out nice and crispy, so I will definitely have to try their Mojito wings the next time we stop in. The fish tacos were generously portioned and also very fresh and tasty. I can't wait to stop back and try more food! I'll have to remember to plan ahead with a reservation for a Friday or Saturday, haha

I've been here around 7 times so far, and it's been great every time. The speed of service does slow down a little bit on very busy nights, but that's expected at a casual eatery. They have great happy hour specials, and everything we've ever tried from the main menu has been spot on. The pizzas are wood-fired to perfection, the sandwiches are delicious, and their salads are super fresh. During our most recent visit, the happy hour mozzarella sticks and Old Bay wings were a hit! Crispy and perfectly flavored. They have ample seating in the indoor dining room, and also have a lovely outdoor seating area with a view of Farrington Lake!

From the outside it looks small, but there's a roomy back area with plenty of seating. The coffee was fantastic and came in a small carafe--perfect for two cups, though they offer larger sizes too. Their frittata selection is impressive, with so many delicious options. I went with the bacon, egg, and cheese topped with their famous cheese sauce. Trust me, you need to try it. We also ordered the Egg Benny--omelette pieces topped with home fries, bacon, sausage, and that same signature cheese sauce. Another winner. Ask for their jelly!!!! Wink wink!!! Our server was wonderful--constantly checking in, refilling our water, and making sure we had everything we needed. If you're in the area, definitely stop by. You won't be disappointed.

The host was super warm and friendly and, since it was our first time, guided us through the menu and gave us some good suggestions. That definitely made a great first impression. I'm vegetarian and don't eat eggs directly, so I got the Vegetarian Ranchero with the egg on the side. They were totally fine accommodating that, and I really enjoyed it. We also tried the guava and cheese empanada, which was a first for me, and honestly it was delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect from that combination, but the sweet guava and cheese were so well balanced. Definitely one of my favorites from the brunch. I also got their signature coffee with refills, which was perfect because we were there to relax, chat, and celebrate. Overall, we really enjoyed our brunch.

Ordered a beef burger with Chipotle sauce along with banana matcha, strawberry matcha, and a pb&j protein shake. The burger patty flavor was very good, seasoned with halal flavors but the patty itself is thin and patty to bun ratio could use a bit if improvement. The bun was larger than the patty. Loved the fries! The strawberry matcha had a slight sweetness from the strawberries which helped but it lacked the matcha flavor. The banana matcha lacked matcha flavor as well. But the pj&j protein shake was excellent. You had the option of whey proteinb or vegan protein. We went with whey protein. I would definitely return to try another shake.
