Family Cafe occupies the former Starbucks store on Whitehorse-Mercerville Road in Hamilton, NJ. Its large windows let in lots of light, so on a sunny morning the sun cascades in to brighten any mood. The shop looks clean, especially in all the sunlight. Staff wears black, and seem to have everything covered. My server was friendly and conscientious, although there was a feeling that she was being observed by other workers, by the overheard comments passed among them that sounded somewhat disparaging. Seemed uncalled for. The menu is comprehensive, and I went with the Cinnamon French Toast (3 slices) and coffee. My first visit, and the listed prices appearing post Covid high, I wanted to check out what the quality of the meals were before eating a $20 breakfast, that cost half that a few years ago. Wise decision. While the coffee was hot and strong, and the FT pretty good, my overall impression was that my breakfast was just average. Nothing to gin me up about returning for more. Family Cafe is a nice small diner style kitchen, with a bustling operation for local residents and business people. Their food is good enough to keep them coming.

Excellent location in Hamilton Township for breakfast. I ordered the Family Cafe Omelette with home fries. You get a nice size portion and it's so delicious. The waitress Maria is so friendly and nice and makes sure customers are well taken care of. Adel there the cook is awesome. Nice and clean all around with nice booths to eat at. I recommend to all of you whether in the area or just passing through to give them a try.

Black hair inside the omlette

i used to order from here all the time until this past weekend. found a 2" black hair incorporated into my western omelette. uber eats wasn't answering my complaint so I called the cafe. after speaking with the person who answered the phone, she assured me that she would have someone call me back and she seemed disturbed by what I found. I explained that we couldn't eat any of our food and I had to throw it all away. no one from there ever contacted and I will never order from there again. $46.00 in the trash.

Light Omelette with turkey sausage, potatoe tots and wheat toast.

It only occurred to me recently that I'd never said a proper thank-you. That's shameful. That's like borrowing your neighbor's snowblower all winter and forgetting to nod at them come spring. So here it is: thank you, Broad Street Diner. This is the review I should've written long ago. Four stars. Not five. Let's not go nuts. Perfection is the business of angels, and diners are run by people: gruff, charming, overworked, underpaid people who know the power of a hot turkey sandwich in a cold world. And God bless them for it. The daily specials are the real poem here. You know how people used to say, "You can't beat the value"? They stopped saying it because there's no value left in anything. But then Broad Street Diner waltzes in, swinging a Cajun meatloaf platter like a peace treaty, and suddenly I'm eating like it's 1993 again. The economy may be a flaming zeppelin plummeting into the sea, but somehow these folks figured out how to serve a full dinner: entree, soup, salad, dessert, the whole shebang, for less than the cost of a movie ticket and a bottle of water. I've had their fried clams, their fish and chips, their crab cakes, and each time I think, "Yes. This is civilization." Is it fancy? Hell no. But it's honest. It's generous. It's warm in all the places the news is cold. Do yourself a favor: stop pretending you're above diners. You're not. None of us are. We're all just scrambled eggs in the cosmic skillet. Broad Street Diner gets that.

From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of authentic, homemade Italian cooking and the warm hospitality that instantly makes you feel like family. John, Michael, and Kevin put a little bit of love into everything they serve. They are knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and always willing to make recommendations. Then there's Babs, the "cleanup hitter," who runs the register with remarkable efficiency while sending every customer off with a warm smile and sincere appreciation. The selection of freshly prepared Italian specialties is nothing short of outstanding. Whether you're stopping in for lunch, picking up dinner for the family, or planning a special event, every dish reflects exceptional quality, authentic flavor, and meticulous attention to detail. Their catering service is equally impressive, providing beautifully prepared meals that are guaranteed to make any gathering memorable. The sandwiches are simply phenomenal--generously piled high with the freshest ingredients and served on freshly baked Italian bread that elevates every bite. It's easy to understand why Dolce & Clemens has earned such a loyal following. And whatever you do, don't leave without visiting the pastry shop! Their assortment of traditional Italian pastries is the perfect finale to any meal--always fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Outstanding food, exceptional service, fair prices, and an unwavering commitment to quality make Dolce & Clemens a destination I'll return to again and again. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine, incredible sandwiches, delectable pastries, or first-class catering, look no further. Highly recommended--on a 1-10 scale, they are easily an 11.

Meh not a fan but I continue I was warned it was expensive, it's not. So I bought a few prepared meals, simple meals just to get a feel for the food.

The sauce was lacking and not sure what the meat was in the meatballs Still have a chicken Marsala entree and a few fried chicken cutlets that I am in no hurry to eat but will because I don't waste food My visit here was disappointing and now that I have tried the I will continue to find other options to become my go to Salumeria The baked goods looks good maybe I will give that a shot I'm a sucker for good Canoli Update 9/17 the fried chicken cutlets were tasteless, ate one saving 2 to grind up to give to the dogs The Bruschetta was also tasteless.Its like food you would get in my parents assisted living facility no seasoning on anything. Why bother?I grew up on food like this and it is a really poor representation of the way these simple preparations should taste.

We had never been to Killarney's before, so we decided to give it a try for dinner last evening…read more When we arrived, the staff seemed friendly, and we were looking forward to having a nice evening. Unfortunately, that wasn't how things turned out. It took our waitress at least 10-15 minutes to come to our table to see if we wanted drinks. When she did arrive, she was very nice. I ordered a Moscato, and my husband ordered a Michelob Ultra. Since we had already had plenty of time to look over the menu, we placed our dinner order at the same time. A few minutes later, our waitress returned to tell me that they were out of Moscato. I have to admit, I found that pretty surprising. This was a Saturday evening, and I would expect a restaurant and bar to be well stocked heading into a busy weekend night. My husband had also ordered soup before his meal. Interestingly enough, his soup arrived before his beer did. I'm still not quite sure how a bowl of soup made it to the table faster than a draft beer. When our entrées finally arrived, neither of us was particularly impressed. The food wasn't terrible, but it was average at best and certainly didn't make up for the rest of the experience. We finished our meals, paid our bill, and left. Between the slow service, the bar not being properly stocked, the unusual delay in getting a simple drink, and food that was nothing more than average, there simply wasn't anything about our experience that would give us a reason to return. Unfortunately, Killarney's will not be a place we revisit.

You gotta stop at Cracker Barrel on a road trip!…read more My fiancé and I stopped here for some grub on our journey. At around 1230pm on a Friday there was no wait at all! We started with cheesey curds that were very delicious and crisp. For my entree I had the classic chicken sandwich and it was very good. I asked for crispy fries and they were perfect! My fiancé ordered steak and eggs. He said his steak was a little tough but not terrible. He said he wished it was a little more tender. He really enjoyed the hashbrown casserole saying it was the best he's had out of all the Cracker Barrel's we've been to. The biscuits were also really good! Very soft and not dry. Our waitress was Jessica, and she checked in often. The bathrooms were very clean as well!

*THIS REVIEW IS SOLELY FOR THEIR DELIVERED CATERING ORDERS*…read more Had 2 events this week at work that required feeding small groups of people and since I recently discovered Cracker Barrel was in the catering/family meal business decided to try them out for both. Placing the order online was fairly simple (they do have a couple of kinks with their website but that isn't something this location has control over though) but when it came to checking in on the status of the orders (from 2 different days) is where the frustration began. You call the restaurant location and it's like no one knows they even cater or offer delivery service. In one case I heard the Door Dash driver in the background at the restaurant telling them he was there to pick up the order I was on the phone calling about lol. In the 2nd case I never received any updates regarding the order having been ready for pickup or that it was picked up so that was a bit stressful since I'd have a group of people staring at me looking for the food we promised for a meeting. In both cases the food arrived and the Door Dash delivery was great, however, in both cases there was not a single serving utensil (those in the pictures are ones I luckily scrounged up in the office) there were also no eating utensils or plates or bowls included so we had to run out and grab some from a nearby Walmart (again those in the picture are what we ran out and grabbed). There was also no labeling on the large container of balsamic salad dressing and it looked like gravy so it wasn't until someone heated the container of "gravy" up that they realized it didn't smell like gravy and was actually dressing smh. Needless to say there was now "dressingless"salad and "gravyless" chicken. As I mentioned earlier in the review this was solely about the catering delivery process which is why the rating is what it is - because food wise everything was delicious (even without gravy or dressing in one case lol).

I'd known about them for years, but they were kind of out of the way for me. The place is small and unassuming, which gave me high expectations, as sometimes I find myself having lower expectations for a more "Mexican" decorated place (I'm wrong as often as I'm right). As far as the Fish Tacos went, they do not serve the Baja style fried fish tacos that I'd grown up on out west, so it was a downer when the plater arrived and I saw the tacos filled with chopped fish cooked in broth. That said, at least the taco was well filled and the fish had a very good flavor. The broth turned out to be a major issue, as the (very tasty) single layer tortillas were soaking up the broth while I ate the first taco, and the second and third tacos both split at the seams and fell apart after one or two bites. A second tortilla may have prevented this debacle, but I won't order fish tacos here again. I'd have loved a fish soup made in this style. The next visit I tried Tacos de Tripa (fried pork intestines), which is my current go to taco style. They were very good, and I enjoyed the heck out of them. They were nice and crispy as I'd requested, and the excellent tasting tortilla made them an excellent choice. My wife had a cheese tamal that had ribbons of poblanos inside as well, and it was also very good with the poblanos providing a nice balance to the heaviness of the cheese. I'd get both again in a heartbeat. My third visit was at lunchtime, and I opted for a Torta de Chili Relleno--essentially a chili relleno sandwich. It wasn't the first I've ever had, and it's a fave torta when I see them on the menu--which isn't often. The torta arrived with a nice sized chili relleno along with the usual smear of beans, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and a couple pieces of queso fresco served on a lightly toasted roll. Overall, the torta was very good tasting, and it went down nicely. However, I wish they used a little firmer roll instead of the soft one they did use. The torta was big and warm, and a crustier roll would have been better. The soft one used was near to collapsing under the weight of the ingredients. Fries are an option on the many torta options for a couple dollars extra. In retrospect, I'd have liked to have added a layer of fries to the sandwich for a little extra kick. All in all, El Gallo Tropical is a place I'll continue to go to. The staff is very friendly, and the menu is extensive (too big?). Although I had them initially at three stars after my first visit for fish tacos, the second (4+) and third (4-) visits have raised them up, and I'm rounding up to a four.
