    Went here for a day party on Saturday. The party was held in their outdoor area. Which is a very nice size. Two full bars, koi pond, a little bridge separating patio areas, and lots of seating. Party food selection wasn't great and it was cold. It was clear that once it was placed at the start time of the party that was it. So, if you want hot food be on time for your event. (I went inside and ordered a sandwich.) The only time I saw staff on the deck was when they took away the food. It would be nice if they cleaned during the party and not left it to the guest. Large parking lot Popular spot Staff was pleasant Moderate pricing

    Yoooo last night was my first time here and it was definitely worth going. It was recommended to me by a few individuals. The food is ok nothing to brag about the drinks are almost double the price at a regular bar, but they have good music and there's always a nice crowd with no drama at the end. You will pay $20 pp starting at 9pm some folks have even said they charged them $30 pp. I personally don't think it's worth it to pay $400 to sit outside only to receive to bottles of blanco Jose Cuevo, but to each his/her own

    This outing was to have birthday brunch w/friends and we decided to kick it u a notch and go to a drag show! Vera is a fun venue and the Drag Show performers were great! We ordered drinks and food and the servers were friendly and observing COVID guidelines wearing masks and keeping some distance. The food bites we ordered (wings/fries) was flavorful! The drag show was high energy and lots of fun! I would return!

    Visited this restaurant for my birthday brunch and it was not worth my time or gas to attend this brunch that I had to travel over a hour for !! The brunch atmosphere and dj was good. But the food and drinks were trash. I ordered the salmon salad and avocado toast and it was very bland. I also ordered the blue siesta punch fish bowl that tasted like a water juice mix .. We were a party of 8 and 3 of my friends never received their food ! Which was added to the bill and later had to be deducted. There was a small selection of brunch items only on the menu which were pricey . 8 Drinks 5 food items 2 hookahs totaled up to almost $600 (not worth it) Not to mention the tickets for the brunch were $25 for admission that was a separate price from the food and drinks (rip off) . I will not be returning .

    These infamous, buffalo chicken wings come all the way from @veracherryhill . This pretty huge establishment serves as a bar/club/restaurant. The waitress are really easy to talk to and they really help you through both the drink menu and food menu. This establishment offers outdoor dining. This establishment is a huge commodity during the summer season. While here I ordered the honey buffalo wings which were absolutely amazing. These huge chicken wings were full of flavor and very juicy. They were also really crispy. I really enjoyed them. If you ever find yourself wanting to eat/dance/maybe just hang out with friends at the bar? Please check out @veracherryhill and you know the deal! Tell'em shimmy sent you! #vera #jersey #newjersey #food #foodporn #foodie #foodblogger #foodphotography #foodstagram #water #ginerale #goodeats

    I was at vera for a drag show. Everything was run extremely organized and Covid friendly. One thing that was not Covid friendly was the fact that a lot of servers did not wear their masks appropriately which was concerning. The food was decent, I would say upscale bar food. The Caesar wrap was good and I liked the option for it to be a salad or a wrap. The chicken Parm lacked flavor and wasn't even cut in half. Making things very messy!

    No one here on a Saturday at 12:02 am for 20 dollars a and a fake line to look packed is fucked up just saying

    This place was so much better when it was Top Dog. Service is mediocre, overpriced, food is bland, and the entire atmosphere is just blah.

Everything was chopped evenly and broiled to perfection. I did get a decent amount of clam. The description says bacon but I'm glad it wasn't big pieces of crispy bacon. It almost seemed like pancetta. I wish I took a picture. They are a little greasy so I'm not sure why they serve them with a side of butter. I think that's a waste. I ordered the Reuben for my entree and upgraded from chips to potato salad. This was an amazing choice. One of the best Reubens I've had in awhile. I was nervous at first seeing the thick bread but it all came together. It wasn't greasy at all. The corned beef was crispy which made it easier to bite. Who hates trying to bite through tough corned beef???? The amount of sauerkraut was perfect. One half of my sandwich had the perfect amount of dressing. The other half was dry. I usually ask for a side of dressing but didn't this time. I am so glad I upgraded to potato salad. It's only $1 extra and I highly recommend. This reminded me of my family recipe. This sandwich comes with chips and I'm not sure what that means. I'm not a huge potato chip person.

We had the back room since that's the only place for large parties. The bar was hopping as usual with sports on most of the TV's. Quite a few craft beers on draft. I had the chicken cordon bleu sandwich which was very good. Tender lightly breaded chicken topped with thin sliced and and cheese. I don't recall anyone not being satisfied with their dinner or drinks. They even came out with a nice big chocolate birthday cake with chocolate morsels and whipped cream along with 10 forks. Even with 10 people, we still couldn't finish the slice of cake.

    Went on a weekday for lunch and I was the only customer. Very large restaurant with high ceilings…read moreand big tables. There's a huge screen in the back, probably used for karaoke. Staff were nice and attentive. I got classic beef pho because I was feeling under the weather. I was pleased with the portion size! They did not skimp on the bean sprouts and I was starting to feel full halfway through the bowl. It was my first time being given oxtail bones and some meat with fat stranding in the pho. Would love to come back and try more items off their menu!

    DVR has the perfect mix of classic Vietnamese dishes you can find in the states such as phở and…read morebánh mì, and lounge food such as snails and fried meats. They are also BYOB to allow a real "nhậu" experience. We had lots of lounge food including the chân gà nướng muối ớt (crispy chicken feet), gỏi bắp bò (beef salad), nghêu nướng mỡ hành (grilled top neck clams), ốc nhảy hấp sả gừng (steamed lemongrass ginger whelk), and more. The crispy chicken feet was a huge hit. It had the perfect crisp and was spicy, salty, and sweet (personally, this is my holy trinity of flavors). I think this would be a great way to introduce chicken feet to people who haven't had it before. The beef salad was super refreshing, and I appreciated the copious amounts of beef and different vegetables, especially banana blossom. I've had chicken in this type of salad growing up but this tender beef is a game changer. Everything else was great but those were the highlights for me. The staff is very lovely and they made sure we were taken care of. The whole restaurant is modernized and clean. I highly recommend trying DVR whether you're looking for a classic Vietnamese meal or wanting to tap into the lounge experience.
