I haven't personally been inside Papillon 25, so I can't speak from direct experience, but I've…read moreheard mixed things from people around town. Some say the drinks are good and the space is decent for a casual night out. From what I've seen, it can get pretty lively at night, and there's definitely a strong nightlife crowd around the area. I've also heard very different opinions about the atmosphere and staff, so experiences seem to vary a lot depending on the night. Since I haven't been in myself, I'd probably check it out firsthand before forming a full opinion.

Husband & I split Wurst platter that had 4 types of German sausage, potato salad, red cabbage, spaetzel , rye bread & mustard. So good and plenty for the two of us. Thus was not our first time there & had similar dishes prior. Always on the mark. Skipped dessert but 4 homemade choices if we were interested. Great place if you're going to a show at SOPAC as it's only 2 blocks away. This is on our list when looking for a place for dinner in South Orange.

Toro Loco has amazing food and such a fun atmosphere. Everything I've had there has been delicious,…read moreand the staff has always been friendly and welcoming. I especially love the outdoor dining area. It's really nice to sit outside when the weather is good. I just wish there was a little more seating available outdoors because it's such a great space. The inside is also very cute and lively, but it can feel a little crowded at times, especially during busy hours. One thing to keep in mind is that it's not the most handicap accessible, which may be difficult for some people. They also do not do separate checks, so that's helpful to know before going with a group. They are also closed Mondays. Overall, the food and atmosphere definitely make it worth visiting, and I would still recommend it to anyone looking for great Mexican food in South Orange.

They allow…read moreoutside food during private events (along with ordering from their menu and using the bar), which is a nice perk. This time, I stopped in on a Friday night to check out the upstairs. The drinks were a 10/10 -- absolutely delicious and strong without skimping. The daiquiri and the chips and salsa were definitely the highlights of the night. The food was just okay. The garlic shrimp were pretty good, but the rice lacked flavor and the refried beans were barely a tablespoon spread across the plate. We also had the shrimp cocktail appetizer, which was just alright -- the shrimp were a little tough. Service was great. The waiter was friendly and attentive and moved fast! Overall, it's a fun vibe and a great spot to hang out and catch up over drinks, but I'd come more for the bar than the food. There's a municipal parking lot a short walk from the main entrance.

I've been to BGR Burger Joint a few times, and overall the food is really good. One of the best…read moreparts is how customizable the burgers are, you can build them exactly how you want, which makes it easy to get something you actually love. It's not really a sit-down restaurant; it's more of a counter-order setup. You place your order, get a number, and they bring the food out to you when it's ready. Pretty quick and straightforward. The food itself is solid. The tater tots are a standout for me, and the milkshake selection is really good too. I also like that they offer kids' meals, which makes it convenient for families. That said, I did notice that on a few visits, the staff came off a bit disrespectful, which affected the overall experience for me. Still, because the food is good and customizable, I'd probably go back but I'd hope the service side improves a bit.

My boyfriend even likes their pizza better than Star. Service is always decent and you have to remember it's a bar so keep your expectations in line with that. My only piece of feedback is that many years ago, they used to have pasta purses in a pink sauce on the menu. I still dream about those pasta purses. I kindly request that they bring them back. It's a bar atmosphere with tvs everywhere and tables and chairs. Great place for a larger group of friends.

The Diner is what you would expect from a typical small town cafe. Plenty of seats and table, but a little cramped. Overall, it was an ok experience. I would try it again, maybe ordering something else.

When I went to pick up my order the staff were very nice. There wasn't only a couple of patrons picking up to go orders and the place didn't look like it was setup for eat in service. Nonetheless, I got back to hair shop and partaked in my order. The coffee was good, the fries which came with the wrap was good also. Now the wrap. It was ok. The sauce wasn't very flavorful although it boasted curry. I'm used to the bold spiciness of curry and I wasn't getting that. I was hungry so it served that purpose but I probably wouldn't order that again. I may try something else on their menu to give them another chance.

Eh I dunno about this place. I was really hoping this would of been the next little known spot to…read moresurprise me since I think it's gone through a slight change in menu and management. It's like a diner now - way more options on the menu and everything you order could be found at a diner. Not only that, it looks like one too, just without counter seating. I could see this potentially being a good place to hang out but it just looks disorganized, the workers don't look enthusiastic or appear confident in what they make. This is further evident by what I got. On the menu they have a number of college themed items - including burgers and sandwiches. I decided to go with "Boland Hall" named after one of the buildings on SHU campus, sounded good - burger, with fries, onion rings and thousand isle dressing. Kinda reminded me of a Italian cheese burger. Yeah it kinda was - just bad. As shown in my pic, the burger to fry ratio was way, way off. It might as well just been fries. It hardly had any ketchup or dressing either. What was worse is it was about $10. Even with a mediocre place like this I try to consider a second chance but I don't think that will be the case here. Skip this place.
