    Great place! Good food and good price! Service was fast. I loved my panini. Everything is fresh. House made desserts

    Beef stew, a lot of pasta, otherwise delicious

    Good diner. Tasty beef stew (special of day) over pasta. More pasta than beef stew, otherwise I would give 5 stars. Came with soup or salad. Place is clean and waitstaff was attentive. Music on a very interesting channel old-new soul. Enjoyed my meal here. $21 for dinner which is reasonable.

    Hey hey Adventureres! Came here on a Sunday evening with a guy friend. Ordered a few bloody mary's and the Firecracker Shrimp & Calamari(really good). When we sat down the chair was wobble, I told him to switch but he felt comfortable with it. Spent a few hours in our own little world (we had ubered there). minding our own business, not loud or rowdy, just enjoying ourselves. My friend got up to go use the restroom (we were getting ready to leave), and must have tripped on the wobble chair or got caught up with his jacket since the bar filled up. But all of a sudden I heard people exclaim that he fell and was knocked out. I was facing the bar trying to find the bartender for the check so I did not see exactly what happened. EMT'S were called and like 3 cop cars showed up. So to preface this when the first officer showed up he seemed really aggressive. I may have been emotional and tipsy but I was worried about my friend who happened to be brown and an aggressive cop(I did not feel safe around this officer), because all I heard was someone saying an unconscious male. Nowhere in the statement was accident used. The officer even said to me 'I can't talk to you because you're being combative(he walked away)--again I was bewildered by seeing my friend KO'ed completely but as an officer, you need to deal with all kinds of people not just dismiss them. But what really got me was on top of everything that was going on the bartender--who we had no issues with while dining/drinking--started tossing off comments about how terrible I was arguing with an officer and other off-handed comments that even the manager kept telling her to leave the room. Her last words were never come here to drink again---sure as heck you bet I'm not. If you attack your patrons for an accident on the premises then no way would I go back. They're pretty lucky a lawsuit wasn't brought up due to him having a staple in his head afterward. The manager even apologized, and I even tried paying our tab, I apologized profusely(he wouldn't let me pay) and had to grab a ride with the sergeant because the EMT's just left without letting me know where my friend was taken. With all this being said, I'd still recommend this for the cute outdoor patio where we sat because of the ambiance. I suppose the staff aside from the really rude bartender. It sucks I can't go back but it's a cute place and would probably be even cuter during summer if that patio opens the garage-style roof and doors.

    1st time in Rahway and we stayed at the Watt Hotel it was late and we wanted a burger... this place…read morewas in literally a few doors down so we decided to stop by. For starters we had the shrimp tacos!!! $17 for 2 but worth every penny! And they were by far The best I've ever had!! Very fresh toppings and perfectly seasoned. And I loved the green sauce they topped it with. For dinner my husband and I split the $19 classic burger and substituted the fries for a Caesar salad. We also subbed the cheddar cheese for the smoked Gouda and omg chefs kiss!! Ordered it medium and It was cooked perfectly! For drinks we had a coke soda $3.50 and an uptown girl (lychee martini) $14 Both were good. The servers were really nice. The vibe was laid back. The volume of the music was perfect. The bathrooms were really clean. If ever in the area again I'd definitely come back!

I love their Caesar salad--it's consistently delicious and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. The service is always awesome, and the staff makes the experience even better. The ambiance of the place is also a big plus--great vibes all around, whether you're catching up with friends or just stopping by to unwind. It's a perfect spot for a quick happy hour. On top of that, I find their prices to be very fair for the quality you get. Overall, I would absolutely recommend, this place is a solid go-to and you won't be disappointed!

    We came around noon on Sunday. We did not have a long wait. There is a parking lot out front. The…read morespace is not that big probably about 30 patrons at a time. The atmosphere is lively with music playing. It was our first visit so we were having a difficult time deciding but then the server came and told us the specials and we quickly made our decision. What we ordered: - Catfish and grits special $38 - Lamb chop and eggs special $38 - Hibiscus Tea, Strawberry Lemonade All the food was very good and we definitely scraped the plate...only thing left over was the hash browns. I'm more of a smaller and crisper hash brown person and these were larger and more soggy. We will definitely be back because the food and wonderful.

    Brunch alert! Estimes is clearly the place to be, and I had no idea! When I first walked in, I…read morecould hear lively music and immediately felt the warm energy of everyone inside. The staff is extremely welcoming and provided great service from beginning to end. I learned that one of the first faces we saw even before being seated was the owner. He was very attentive and routinely checked in with each table. Once seated, we were greeted almost immediately by our server. Orders were taken pretty quickly, and our food hit the table just as fast. I ordered from their specials -catfish and grits. Let me tell you, the fish was fresh, light, and flavorful, paired with a type of red broth-like sauce on the side that was well seasoned with onions, peppers, and whatever else! I would dip my catfish in the sauce and then head on over to the grits. Delicious! I packed up whatever leftovers I had remaining and ate it before bed. This place is definitely worth revisiting. If catfish is still on the menu, I may pair it with the French toast next time. Other quick notes: Nice ambiance. Smelled CLEAN. Reservations strongly encouraged. BYOB.

I called in for a big party, and they did an excellent job with the table-setting & location. Secondly, the food: Their apps are absolute winners. Our table got the Bavarian Soft Pretzel ($12) and the 12-piece wings ($22). Both came out hot and full-of-flavor! Both were excellent with a cold beer. For my main, I actually got a special which was not on their main menu. It was a Fajita Burger served with (you guessed it...) fajita fries. I added jalapenos for an extra kick. It was very good, but the buns are quite thick, so I actually just ate it with the bottom bun intact. The burger patty itself is quite thick which I enjoyed in this current smash-burger phase our world is currently in. Don't sleep on a pub burger. For dessert, it was one of our friends birthday, and as you can see --- they decorated it nicely! Not "they", sorry, Sara - our waitress - did! She was such an awesome server, and communicated very well. Awesome experience + awesome setting + awesome food! Thanks Paragon for doing what you do!
