Our favorite “Jersey Mall.” The Macy’s here is well stocked. The store associates are experienced and we typically have very good experiences.

Very nice and big mall with all relevant flagship stores and several specialty shops and a cinema. Decent food options and large food court. However, it has mice which are cute and living beings as well but maybe they should not be where humans eat 😅

Bridgewater Commons is more than just a place to shop — it’s one of my favorite places to walk and unwind. Whether it's freezing outside or too hot to be comfortable, the mall offers a clean, climate-controlled space that’s perfect for strolling, browsing, and grabbing a bite. This three-story mall is always well-kept and has a solid mix of stores like Macy’s, Sephora, Victoria’s Secret, American Eagle, and a fun LEGO Store. It’s a great spot whether you're running errands or just window shopping. Food options are plentiful. The food court includes familiar names like Popeyes, while the mall also features sit-down restaurants like Cheesecake Factory. Just outside, you’ve got more great spots including Maggiano’s Little Italy, CAVA, and Big Chicken by Shaquille O’Neal — which I tried and really enjoyed. Add in the AMC Theater, and you’ve got everything in one spot. Clean, comfortable, and full of energy — Bridgewater Commons is one of the best malls around for both shopping and simply walking around.

The mall is very large and very gives off chill and luxury vibes all around. Most stores are open and gets very busy during the day. Most stores are for the teen groups, not much luxury brands. The food court has plenty to serve and plenty of nice scenery to have while walking throughout the mall.

This is not the biggest mall we've ever been in, but it's a decent sized mall with three separate floors. The one thing I found interesting in it is at the escalator in the middle only goes up to the second floor and not the third floor. For that you would either have to take an escalator or go to one of the other ends of the mall to take an escalator. Bridgewater Commons is pretty busy, both with stores and customers. There is a good variety of stores located throughout the mall. You can also find a food court with a variety of places to eat. #Shoppingmall #bridgewatercommons

Stadium
TD Bank Ballpark is the home of the Somerset Patriots, offering an exciting baseball experience for all. The stadium hosts 70 games from April to September, providing affordable family entertainment with various activities and games for kids. It's a clean and well-maintained venue with plenty of seating options and food choices. In addition to the game itself, there are entertaining intermission events and numerous promotional nights featuring giveaways or fireworks.
Loved this place! It was super fun – while watching an exciting game, the music, entertainment, and activities were spot on. The whole ballpark was clean, tidy, and well maintained. I might not be the best to compare (first baseball game, and I'm not from the U.S.), but I can say I had a great time and would definitely recommend it to any tourist looking for a fun baseball experience. (I’m always gonna be thankful to my friend that bought the tickets for us!) Also, had a pretzel – delicious! Bought a baseball and a foam finger too, which made it even more fun. Prices in the store were actually more reasonable than I expected (though probably not the cheapest out there in regards of clothing, etc). I don’t drive, so I can't speak much about parking, but it looked like a busy area with people trying to park nearby.

TD Bank Ballpark is a nice Minor League baseball park in Bridgewater , NJ. The stadium is home to the Somerset Patriots of the Double A Eastern League. Views from almost all seats in the stadium are excellent. Seats are wide and roomy. The stadium’s capacity is 6,100. The stadium offers an excellent variety of concessions. Not only do they have the classic ballpark foods like burgers and dogs. They also offer pork rolls, veggie burgers, turkey burgers, acai bowls, Mexican food, and a wide variety of national and local craft beers. Concourses around the stadium are wide and roomy. There is a BBQ area along the leftfield lines. Here there are picnic benches from where you can enjoy the game. The team has an excellent team merchandise store that is open during the games. The videoboard at the stadium is gigantic and easy to see. The stadium is located near a New Jersey transit station and a shopping center. It costs five dollars to park at the train station and the lot is closest to the stadium. Many people also park at the nearby shopping center and walk to the stadium. You can also take the train to the game. Tickets for games are affordable and can be purchased online or at the stadium. It is easy to have a great time at this stadium.

If you're looking for a good family option to expensive 'Major League' games - you've found it here! A beautiful stadium; there is not a bad seat. Affordable (parking is $5!). And geared toward families and kids. I spent 20+ years going to a MLB stadium in NYC. I wish I had known about this fantastic option. So glad to support the Somerset Patriots!

TD Bank Ballpark is a very good family-friendly stadium to see a minor league baseball game. The stadium is clean, well-maintained, has plenty of seats, food options, and there’s a lot of activities/games for kids. Besides the game itself, there’s always something fun to watch in-between innings. There’s also many promotional nights with giveaways or fireworks. Additionally, the prices are very affordable no matter where you sit. I always love coming to this stadium to watch the upcoming prospects. A game here is a great experience for people of all ages and one I would highly recommend.
Frenite — Google review
A fun stadium with new, clean features and the amenities you’d expect plus a few others. Top-notch baseball field, suitable plastic chairs, and mostly standard food choices (including veggie burgers, tater tots, and Mac n’cheese balls). Cocktails in a can, sponsor nights, lots of sweets like Oreo churros or ice cream, and interactive actives between innings like fan races, raffles, and mascot hoopla. Lots of local baseball fans and a solid night out for families.
Justin R — Google review
We went here for a work function and I was immediately impressed by the ballpark! It's clean, modernized and well planned as there's ample room on the concourse, with easy access to the food vendors and bathrooms. The seats are great and all of them offer a good view of the field. I checked out the team store and they had many great items, but there were no sales and the prices were higher than I expected. I was double-booked that night so I couldn't stay for the game unfortunately but I did grab a fantastic sausage sandwich before I left! Parking is right across the street and cost $5.

Park
Washington Valley Park, located in the heart of the first and second Watchung Mountain ridges near Bridgewater, is a historic area featuring 18th- and 19th-century farmhouses and buildings. The park offers nature trails for hiking and mountain biking enthusiasts. One of its main attractions is Buttermilk Falls, a picturesque waterfall flowing from a man-made dam into a refreshing swimming area. Visitors can also enjoy shoreline fishing at the Washington Valley Reservoir within the park.
I loved it! If you enjoy hiking or biking, it's a really good place. It's completely different—rural, with big trees that make it an interesting spot to rest from the city's noise. We walked for at least three miles, and I'm pretty sure that was nothing compared to how much more there is to explore! But I still enjoyed it. Also, if you like fishing, you can go (I saw a couple of people doing it). There's a parking area and a clean portable bathroom available.

Good place for local hikes. You can make it as long or as short as you like. Many tails inter-connect and net the area. It's a good place for the sake of a hike (some use it for biking) and the enjoyment of it. The views are what you'd expect of a reserve surrounded by neighborhoods. :)

This is a good park for hiking There are few elevations but not that great compared to other nearby parks. I have posted pics to give you a hint on how the early spring hike would look like. I took the longest 5 mile hike and it was roughly 120mins. Don't miss the lake and dam view as it's the best place to sit and take a break. Last but not least watch out for cyclists.

I hiked a relatively easy 2 mile loop following the single and double reds. The terrain is a lot of roots and rocks so make sure you bring the right foot support. I never did find the waterfall so its probably in another direction.

Sights & Landmarks
Duke Farms, located in Bridgewater Township just south of Interstate 287, is a historic estate with a rich legacy of environmental education and conservation. Founded by James Buchanan Duke and continued by his daughter, the farm offers undeveloped natural habitats, gardens, and various outdoor activities such as biking and walking trails, scavenger hunts, bird watching, and more. Open to the public since 2012 with no admission fee, it has become a popular destination for families and schools.
The Central Park of NJ, peaceful and a bit more natural without being overly crowded! I went on a weekday afternoon and there were not that many people so it was actually a nice nature walk. Definitely rent a bike or bring your own to cover the distance. Love that they don’t allow pets, no dodging dog 💩 on your walk! Check out the orchid garden, they have a nice greenhouse with a variety of orchids. They have an app but the navigation isn’t great. Download the app to see what spots you want to see but enter the name of the spots in Google Map to navigate, it is much more effective and accurate. You’re welcome. 😉

We rode our bikes around the Estate and every bit of it was absolutely beautiful. Incredibly peaceful and very well kept. It is a great place to ride bikes or go for a nice walk. The only thing that I wish it had was more information about the history of the Duke Family and the buildings on the property.
Debbie G — Google review
Quick summary: Beautiful place. Especially the Orchid Greenhouse. Very nature conservation centric. Staff were great throughout. The Do and don'ts: Make parking reservations during peak season(as required by website). Be prepared to walk and absolutely wear comfortable shoes. Dress accordingly to your comfort needs and anticipate weather conditions. Cafe was nice. Selections were basically coffee, hot chocolate, pizza, soup, chips, yogurt, water, cake, very light pickings but decent. Very clean. I would give 5 stars easily if not for one issue: needs more restrooms (which were clean by the way). When you walk this much in the cold you may need to "go" more often than usual and if you're really needing to use one urgently they can be a task to get to. Would be nice if it were possible to have a sink at the few outhouses that were available. Overall an enjoyable adventure! ❤️

Such a beautiful orchid greenhouse! It’s amazing to see so many varieties of orchids along with other tropical plants. We spotted banana, pineapple, and plenty of papaya trees. The place is perfect for long walks or bike rides with kids. Fall here is especially stunning, with countless spots that make perfect backdrops for family portraits. I would highly recommend visiting!

I taught a geographic information systems workshop here for three days, and the staff and scientists and educators are incredibly visionary and wonderful. This facility is living up to its commitment to sustainability and reusability. There are so many diverse wonderful plants and trees. The biking the hiking it’s all completely wonderful. My favorite is the meditation garden and the Sycamore walk and the statues and Stone walls in the hay barn.

This is a wonderful place to take a stroll or ride a bike. According to the map we were given there are 18 miles of trails! The paved path we walked was well maintained and the grounds are beautiful. Unfortunately the visitor Center and Cafe were closed for a private event when we visited but we will return to check them out.

The park features softball fields, walking trails, playgrounds, and hosts a popular summer concert series. Families can enjoy quality time together while kids and dogs have their share of fun.
It’s a beautiful park, family vibes … you can go to play with your kids, there is a big playground, you can ride your bike, run or walk. It is 7 miles long the track, great to have a good 10K race! A lot of parking spaces, and so much beautiful nature!

This is a good park for bikers and people who love hiking even though it's not a great place to hike. I am sure kids and dogs enjoy their best in this park while adults can grill their whatever and talk a lot about their life. Coming to the best part of this park is a waterfall at the very end of the park just like they say there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Honestly, I loved the cleanliness and seating of this park.

Italian restaurant
Nestled along Route 202, Cafe Emilia is a delightful haven for lovers of traditional Italian cuisine. This upscale eatery boasts a charming ambiance with Tuscan-inspired murals and warm earthy tones that create an inviting atmosphere. Unlike many establishments that serve frozen pasta, Cafe Emilia prides itself on crafting each dish from fresh ingredients right in-house. Diners can indulge in imaginative offerings like the Linguini Sofia, featuring succulent shrimp, mushrooms, and sweet peppers enveloped in a rich pink vodka sauce.
A must stop. The food is exceptional, service is top notch, and it’s fairly priced to boot. Had the best chocolate mousse of my life here. Enough I had 3 pieces! The dessert tower is so cool - you have to see it for yourself! And our waiter went above and beyond to make us laugh and feel comfortable all night even after the restaurant was empty. 10/10. Top notch.

I'm disappointed in myself for driving past this restaurant several times and not realizing what I was missing. You enter a modest, warm and inviting space and you are greeted by their professional and friendly staff. They have a specialty cocktail menu with amazing choices that you just don't see in your local spots. And they do the classics perfectly, the Espresso Martini was silky, creamy and full of flavor. The service and the pacing of the evening was perfect. The food was incredible. I ordered the Veal Chop special, my wife ordered the Chicken Giordano, our friends ordered the Steak Special and the Chicken Special with Crab Meat. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted even better than it looked. Desserts were also amazing. The Tiramisu was perfectly moist and not soggy. We split the chocolate hazelnut cake and it was so tempting that it lost a limb before I got to take a photo. Definitely a must try. Even though it's a smaller space, we never felt rushed, as if they wanted to turn the table. The staff and owners were extremely inviting, they thanked us repeatedly and invited us back. The warmer weather is almost upon us and they have a beautiful outdoor area for dining al fresco. Can't wait to try it. I know one thing for sure, the next time I pass this place I'll either be pulling into the parking lot or calling to make a future reservation. Absolutely fantastic.

First time at Café Emilia and it was a great spontaneous stop on my way back to NJ. The place is cozy, nicely decorated, and the service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, like a local favorite. The menu is small but well thought out. The food was good, though a bit pricey for the portion size, and the Caesar salad lettuce wasn’t very fresh. Overall, lovely café with great service and definitely worth checking out.

We tried this local restaurant over the weekend and, unfortunately, the highlights were limited to the outdoor seating and the owner himself. The owner was incredibly friendly and charismatic, personally visiting each table and offering a digestivo after the meal — a really nice touch that stood out. The outdoor seating was also well done and made for a relaxing atmosphere. Sadly, the food didn’t quite live up to the expectations set by the menu. Dishes that sounded exciting ended up being underwhelming in flavor. The fish special with crab, for example, was very minimal in presentation and accompaniments, yet carried a premium price tag. The chicken Parmigiana didn’t come with any pasta, which felt a bit off for such a classic dish. Service was another area that missed the mark. While our server was friendly, they were often absent and a bit forgetful. After taking our drink order, we had to flag them down to place our food order, despite them passing our table multiple times — and it wasn’t a busy evening. We genuinely enjoy supporting local spots and had high hopes based on the warm hospitality and setting, but unfortunately, the overall experience just didn’t come together for us this time.

Based on the reviews - I was excited to give this place a try. My fiancée and I were seated very quickly. While waiting for the waiter to take our order, which felt very long - we overheard a group of people saying some inappropriate and racist comments. I went to confront them and they were trying to saying they meant no harm. The waiters were hearing this and didn't intervene. While I went to leave and they saw my phone they started posing and yelling (true colors shown). We decided to leave and the waiter offered us free apps but we declined. Negative experience with no staff intervening and the lady openly saying inappropriate comments.

This beloved local pub has been serving up hearty American classics for years, making it a go-to destination for those craving home-cooked meals.

Bartender was blunt and to the point about ordering food which was fine; I was meeting with someone and we both were busy so the fact that it was such a quick service was amazing. The food was not bad for the price; I got fish and chips and there were 3 filets and a lot of fries, enough for me to share. Though run down on the outside, it gave a hole in the wall vibe when you step in.

We left the interstate, looking for a unique place to eat and found this place. We almost didn’t stop because the outside leaves a lot to be desired. Upon entering, the restaurant had a very, very strong odor - a medicinal smell- that “stays in your nose long after you leave” kind of smell. Out of everything we ordered (see pix), the best things were the sweet potato fries and the waffle fries. The iced tea was so bad, I couldn’t drink it. Instant, perhaps? All in all, we were hoping for some good “local flavor” as we passed through this area, but this was a let down. Maybe you have to be a local to appreciate it.

Thai restaurant
Nestled in Bridgewater, Thai Kitchen is a beloved BYOB destination that invites diners to embark on a culinary adventure tailored to their taste buds. This charming eatery boasts an inviting atmosphere where guests can customize the heat level of each dish, ensuring a personalized experience with every visit.
Me and my boyfriend visited this restaurant on our way home. The staff was super nice and waited on us attentively. I can’t handle spicy well and the waitress (I forgot her name I’m sorry) explained what can and can’t be made mild for me very patiently. The food came out quickly! I got the Pineapple chicken and I believe my bf got the duck noodles (not pictured). Everything was delicious! We also got the mango mousse cake for dessert to share. The atmosphere was very calm and nicely decorated and the prices were extremely reasonable. All in all we spent less than $40. We’ll definitely be back again!

Great find for having Thai in the area.. the food was delicious with a large menu catering to all choices. They give you the option to choose your spice level.

The ambience is really nice with a great outdoor seating area to enjoy nice weather.

The reason for the 3 ⭐️ is because I felt rush. I must have told the waitress that I need some time to look at the menu five times and she kept coming back within seconds asked if I am ready. Almost felt like they just want to turn the table quickly. Foods were on the sweet side, too much sugar. Options for non spicy dishes are less than other Thai restaurants.

Everything was delicious. We especially enjoyed the pineapple fried rice and the chicken pad Thai. I would’ve liked larger portion sizes on the appetizers and the desserts, but the entrées were very generously sized.

Food is honestly below average. All we order is vegetable pad Thai, and it’s not even that tasty. All the noddles stick together too. It’s also kind of expensive, it’s like around 15 dollars per plate. Portion isn’t bad but the food ain’t even that good. I hope there’s better around here because so far only good spots are DC and NYC

Delicious Thai cuisine with a good ambiance and service. They give you the option to select spice levels for some of their dishes. We selected spice level 4 for the Drunken Noodles, and it turned out to be perfect. The filling inside the curry puffs was flavorful. We were not in the mood to eat a full dinner, so we didn’t order a lot of dishes. However, the portion size was really good because by the end of it we felt as if we’d eaten a lot. Will be returning to try out new dishes and update here. Highly recommend!

Visiting from out of town and decided to give this place a go. O got here at like 9:08 and they close at 930 and they didnt even flinch to serve me. I did decide to order it as takeout to be respectful. I had the tom kha gai and pad woon sen. I told them i was from outta town and they offered me utensils right away which I thought was nice. The food came out hyper fast like 5-10 minutes which was amazing. For the soup, i feel like it was missing something, lemongrass or ginger or something. The taste was just not 100% in my opinion. It still was pretty good and i ate it all. The pad woon sen was pretty darn good as well. I had it with a 2 spice that had my nose running after a bit. Overall service was fantastic, friendly, and fast. The food was solid, i think I needed to try the pad thai to see if it was made with tamarind paste, and that would have solidified my rating. But definitely check this place out, it was really awesome and friendly. Thanks guys!

Diner
Breakfast restaurant
Nestled on the Somerville Circle, Time to Eat Diner is a beloved 24-hour eatery that has been serving up classic American comfort food since 1994. This charming diner captures the essence of traditional New Jersey dining with its extensive menu featuring everything from fluffy pancakes and hearty four-egg omelets to juicy burgers and flavorful gyros.
The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were huge! All four of us left full and satisfied. We’ll definitely stop by again when we’re in the area! ... I visited this diner for the second time with my mom for breakfast, and once again, everything was great! I definitely need to come back - I still haven’t tried their Polish dishes.

Food is fair tasting for a diner. Service is good. Place is clean and as well as the condiments and the seatings. Ample spacing between tables. Accepts credit/debit cards. Tip could be through card. High chair seen. Ample parking. See images for further reference.

We were passing by. Just drop a family friend off and he recommended us to stop by and try the food. And omg are we so glad we did. The restaurant Is quite quaint. The restaurant is clean and the staff super friendly and eager to help. I highly recommend it if you're in the area. Stop by and try some of their food. The pictures below are exactly what we got. The only exception we got four pies and one cake and they were all amazing. Highly recommend.

Classic Jersey diner with a huge menu. We stopped in for breakfast and it was very good. I opted for the Breakfast Quesadilla and it was great! It had scrambled eggs, bacon and Jack Cheese topped with salsa. And the platter included hash browns (see photo). And very important in order to be a great Jersey diner --- the coffee is excellent!

Large space with plenty of seating and a huge menu. I got the huevos rancheros w hash browns and it is a pass. The huevos rancheros were ok. The hash browns were so disappointing. They were so bland and I know it was just shredded potatoes but even with so much salt, pepper and ketchup I just couldn’t eat them. Not sure what it was.

Me and my boyfriend eat her regularly almost always very late at night. Tonight, specifically, we dined there with seven other people (9 total) and ordered a lot of food individually. Stewart was awesome, and he took great care of us, even though we gave him a few problems. The lady with mousy brown hair in the bun that usually takes care of my boyfriend and I is also a very amazing. Very kind and efficient people which keep us coming back .

Website indicates they are open until 10:30pm. We arrived around 10:10pm. They would only offer takeout. I said I wanted salmon and pointed to it on the menu. I ended up with cod/scrod, which was not that great. Iceberg lettuce for the side salad. Won't be returning to this diner.

The service and food is always great, I looooove their pancakes! We’re usually seated within no longer than 5 minutes from checking in. I ordered a caramel latte & it made me smile, it was just as delicious as it looked! My family and I come here every now & then & I can honestly say, we have never had a disappointing experience.. everything always goes smooth! Everything we order is delivered with all of our specifications. The staff here is very attentive, kudos to this staff & team for running such a nice diner 👍🏼

American restaurant
Nestled within the Bridgewater Marriott, Booker & Zinc is a sophisticated dining destination that has been captivating food enthusiasts since its opening in early 2015. This elegant eatery specializes in creative American cuisine, showcasing dishes crafted from seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The menu features an array of shareable plates, such as the delightful sizzling shellfish pot brimming with littleneck clams and infused with garlic, lemon, thyme, and a flavorful beer broth made with Kane Head Brewing's Head High IPA.
Agree with the previous reviews - great food and service. And never crowded. Nice wine list to boot.

The food here is surprisingly good. I had been going to the across the straight because the meals I had here before were not all that great for the price. But now, I prefer this over the restaurant across the street. The bar staff are nice and attentive. The atmosphere is better than across the street as well. There isn’t a ton on the menu but what I had the few times were really good. Each meal, I didn’t walk away feeling I needed more or wished I had ordered something different. Great place for a date since plenty of space to chat and different places to sit after your meal. I didn’t bring a date but I saw a couple that seemed to be on their first date 😃. Good choice 👍

Grown up grilled cheese is great. Service was good too. A little pricey but worth it.

Was not bad they opened up for mother's Day they were supposed to be closed very limited menu. The food was good the service was good the ambiance and atmosphere is wonderful. Plus they have the best beer cooling system in probably the state. Your beer comes out of the constant crisp cool clean temperature.

I picked this place for steaks for my friend's birthday. The online menu, which looked wonderful, was not up-to-date. The menu they had was VERY limited, especially for me as a vegetarian/vegan. We had a reservation for 5 and we left because of this. I can't see any reason to come here if you're not staying at the hotel. Very disappointing.

Good service, just had drinks. I didn't get a look at the menu, not sure what food they served. Only downside was that they closed at 12 midnight on a Friday night. The bar had at least 20 people and some were not done with their drinks. For a Friday and having people in the bar they should stayed open for at least one more hour. They would've made at least $100.00 more. It's also bad business. Other patrons in the hotel might have wanted to have a late night drink.

So... There are 8 of us here for Easter dinner, we sat down at 5:05 and just now got out entree's (well 6 out of 8 of us did) when asked why the waiter said "the machines didn't correspond with the kitchen and they are working in it right now" this is also after taking our orders and coming back 15 minutes later and said that we didn't have this or that. Not a fan of the service.

Really an amazing little spot. Most of the chef’s are still there from the old steakhouse. Staff is extremely accommodating and professional even on busy nights. Great atmosphere, service, ambience, and the lighting was perfect.
