Newark Airport is a beautiful and massive airport, maybe even better than JK. The structure is modern, clean, and well organized, which makes the whole travel experience very smooth. One of the things that impressed me the most is how easy it is to get transportation: whether it’s Uber, private car, or other services, everything is simple and convenient. Definitely a great option when flying to or from the New York area!

Definitely one of the best airports I have been through in the United States. I was flying in from DC with a connection onward to Phoenix and it was a great experience. When connecting between terminals, there are shuttle buses that run airside. I came in at gate C94 and had slightly over 2 hours for my connection at gate A29. In the center of concourse A, it is massive. The ceilings are high, the windows are huge, and there are plenty of shopping and dining options. It's comparable to the Great Hall area of the Tom Bradley terminal at LAX. And it's also great for aviation enthusiasts because there are lots of good spots to stand by the large windows and photograph and watch planes coming and going. Overall Newark EWR is a great airport and is very easy to navigate with lots of good signage and if you're not sure, staff are very helpful with directing people where they need to go.

Recently I visited the airport and had wonderful experiences. The flight landed at terminal B, we took the AirTrain and shuttle to reach out to Terminal A. It's a clean and tranquil airport. Spending around 4 hrs transition time ⏲️ was not boring at all. Baggage collection, rechecking the luggage, passing the security and custom/immigration checks, all were smooth. You can take Canada ✈️ via USA , it will be convenient. Although I had heard via US there may be some complications but we had no issues, nothing to complain and had great experience.

EWR has honestly been my second home these past few years. I’ve flown in and out of Newark Liberty so much I could walk the terminals in my sleep. It’s always busy, but it moves — TSA lines usually run smooth and there are plenty of food spots once you’re through security. I use CLEAR at EWR and it’s always fast and reliable. Even when I’m traveling with my kids, getting through the airport stays easy. I’ve had a couple delays here, but they handled it every time — vouchers, rebooking, the works. And I’m a red-eye girl, so those late-night flights through Newark always hit perfect. Overall, a solid, reliable airport that keeps travel smooth.

This time check in was the smoothest process ever at Newark Airport. We did most of the process at home but still, the rest of the process took us about 15 minutes. It had never happened before. Maybe they figured out the process. Hope it will stay this way. The Christmas decorations was a big plus too.

The terminals are a little confusing, but after a bit of wandering around you usually find what you’re looking for. The food options are okay—nothing amazing, nothing terrible. You can get a sandwich or a coffee that tastes roughly like coffee, and that’s pretty much all you need before a flight anyway. Security lines can be long, or sometimes surprisingly short. It’s kind of a coin toss.

​The Experiment: I deliberately chose to fly out of EWR specifically to experience firsthand if the "bad reputation" was true. Unfortunately, it lived up to the negative hype. ​The Commute (The "Hassle"): Getting to the gate is a multi-leg workout. I took the train to the Airport Station, but that doesn't get you to the terminal. You then have to transfer (often involving a shuttle or the AirTrain) just to reach the actual check-in area. It involves a lot of hustle and lugging bags around; it is far from a seamless transfer. ​Security Experience: The friction continued at the checkpoint. The TSA agents here were not nice, displaying an unfriendly and unprofessional demeanor. On top of the attitude, the processing was slow, adding unnecessary stress to the departure process. ​Verdict: If you have a choice between NYC area airports, keep the "hustle factor" in mind here. It is not a relaxing way to start a trip. ​Note for your followers: If you were flying out of the new Terminal A, that "shuttle" leg is a known pain point because the AirTrain doesn't connect directly to it!

Sports complex w/ multiple fields. Walking path with awesome views of the water and nature. Nice spot for fishing and birding but No pets!! Exercise trail. Gave it a four because there was some litter on the ground. Will definitely visit again.

It is a really beautiful trail around the Weequahic Lake, about 2 miles, no pet. If you visit here in fall, you would like to come back. Squirrels are everywhere looking for food without being disturbed by people passing by, sometimes you can hear their voices.

Hidden gem in Newark with a scenic lake and quiet walking trails. Great spot for a peaceful walk, jog, or picnic. Less crowded, with a more local, relaxed vibe.

Chat I'm trynna come here again lwk tho!! It's wide n peaceful n just yk fun!! And I like the scenery too so yea

Went for the universal soul circus was very fun and entertaining would love to return in the summer to experience the park

Recently updated their walking/running trail and I love it. My favorite part is the lake. You might even see the resident herons when you’re in the woods :) The 2-mile trail is great for workouts and fresh air.

This place is cool but I only have one concern In the kids park the have a big slide and on the top from the slide one part is open and usually kids start fighting or it gets really full of kids and accidents can happen and a kid can fall from this, I wish I could post a video of the kids so you can see the danger, I think that part should be close

I was hesitant because this was my first time placing an order for my family from this establishment. And it turns out that my intuition was correct. Have you all seen the price? In my view, the food's flavor did not justify the sum I spent. To give you an example, I requested fried eggs when I clicked the special instructions, but they came out scrambled. The scrambled eggs were too watery for my taste. If I could rate the home fries it would be a rating of 5/10. Because it maintained its crunchiness during transportation, the catfish would get a 6 out of 10 from me even though it was flavorless. A pinch of salt and some garlic would have made the grits perfect. You won't get your money's worth out of that chicken and waffle. The fried chicken turned out rather pale. Plus, my brother couldn't eat it since it was bland. Hot sauce was a must for his chicken for him to be able to eat it. The so-called signature French toast was meant to be topped with walnuts, but I didn't receive any. Plus, at $17, it seemed like a waste of money for something I could easily whip up at home. I took full responsibility for choosing this location, but I will definitely not make that mistake again.

Came here for breakfast -- i had the Best banana walnut pancakes 🥞 . You can take out or dine in. Our server was very warm and attentive. Would definitely revisit to try the waffles or grits !

Found this spot while we were in town & the food was amazing, the wait staff was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The food did take quite a while, but came out fresh and tasty.

Amazing service , amazing food, nice atmosphere for a date or business meet. My wife and I enjoyed . Chicken and waffles were great . Thank me later

I've recently discovered Vonda's. Parking is fairly easy on a weekday. The establishment is nice. It's spacious and usually no waiting for a table. The artwork on the walls are really nice. The French toast is wonderful!!!! Kudos to the chef!!!! Will definitely return for more. Update: I am a regular here and will usually visit for lunch or dinner. The Catfish (baked) is spectacular!!! My sides were mac and cheese / collard greens. My guest had the baked chicken! Delicious meal!!!

Ok so I ordered the brioche French toast from this place the other morning . I was literally in utter disbelief when I realized that they have me a burger bun cut up as French toast. When I had looked through the reviews before going I seen people with triangular French toast with powder sugar etc . The service was ok it was early in the morning so I understand that the mood wasn’t a 10/10 . But the picture alone will speaks for itself . The portion was way too small for the price of $17. The food was also rock hard and not hot enough.

Have been coming here for years! Just not so often. But every time I came, the food was smashing! Not sure how everyone cooks their greens but theirs taste as if someone used old bay and I didn’t really like it. Fried catfish was great, yams were sweet and the Mac n cheese was good

This place has had a major upgrade since my childhood. New fields, buildings, massive changes that help the community. The parks are the heartbeat of the community where people come together. So happy they took the time to relocate this iconic Ironbound landmarks.

This park is very good, I always come with my daughters how great that there is a lot of security.

The grounds are huge fields are well kept and I love that there are food trucks nearby as well as a bakery

WOW! I did not recognize the park at all. It has definitely been upgraded since my high school years, it looks great.

My kids ❤ love to go out and play around this beautiful park since they were babies 💕

I love bringing my daughter here. I went to East side high school so it’s a treat bringing her here.. we stay for hours..food trucks and ice cream trucks are all around..they have a zip line for children (teenagers break it a lot so it’s often out of service 😡). Lots of playground equipment. One of our favorite playgrounds to visit.

Our kids and I often spend hours at church (especially holidays) as my hubby works nearby. I cantor whenever possible. The kids are still young, so we love to go here in between and/or during multiple services. This is one of the most fun parks we have been to in NJ. In the summer they even have a spray device you can walk through to cool off! There is very adequate seating on benches for tired parents. Plus, only one exit in and out, which makes it easier to relax as you can keep a close eye on the kiddos. I will warn, the ground surface material gets burning hot in summer (you can feel it through thinner shoes). Also, some older kids will absolutely run into you and/or your child(ren), so if they are quite young, please accompany in areas to keep them safe. There is often plenty of room for an adult to follow and play along with their tiny kiddo. Heads up, you also may get hit by a soccer ball or frisbee! Lol. If it weren't for these reasons, this rating would be a 5, no doubt. Overall, we still love the variety of activities and the vibe here (so long as there aren't wayy too many people). An icecream truck is usually nearby, so bring cash! In the summer, sweet ladies often sell water ice for a great price too! This area feels like a very safe place despite Newark's reputation, because it is! May you and your kiddos have great fun here!!

Great dinner spot. We were a party of 8 - ordered 8 entrees, one app, two pitchers of sangria and it was only ~40 per person! So many great flavors. I would 100% recommend this place - I think it’s better If you have more people and can more variety of dishes. Side note place is pretty busy for dinner. Overall 8/10

10/10. A quick stop in town as we are flying through and decided to eat here due to all the great reviews. We walked in at 3 PM, the place was busy, but we were able to get a table. Stayed almost 2 1/2 hours. The food and the service was amazing! The Seabass was probably the best I’ve ever had. And amazing expresso. Would definitely recommend and would definitely return.

Very friendly and price reasonable restaurant. Its food is also very tasty. On Saturday or Sunday, you better call in to reserve your favor dishes.

By far the best Portuguese seafood spot in New Jersey . All seafood plates out of this world . Always packed . The staff love their work the people love the food you walk out of this place happy as can be and super satisfied . No wonder it’s always busy . Be careful here it can become an addiction . 😍😍😍😍😍

Incredible meal! We were a table of nine and that didn’t hinder the quality of service. There was a wide variety of dishes that were served and every one of them were as good as the next. It is a small dining room and could get a little loud. I would recommend it highly.

Came from Florida for a weekend and found this beautiful gem. Ambiance ✅ atmosphere ✅ the most amazing fresh seafood, huge portions and the best customer service I have ever experienced. Tony treats you like family.

The place is quaint with bar side service and the service is great. There is limited seating, so place a reservation if you can. Easy to park and good-sized meal portions. The variety of drinks is phenomenal, especially with wine.

Familiar place to grab some dinner. They were out of pinto beans, but service was quick (no long lines). Plenty of seating.

I'll be honest, Qdoba isy.runner up to Chipotle and I'll only get it if there isn't a Chipotle available... The burrito was good, nothing over the top but also nothing bad, I enjoyed it! The chips, on the other hand, were a disappointment. There was absolutely no flavor and a few of them were stale. Over all, I'll eat at a Qdoba again, if there isn't a Chipotle near by!

Charged me $2.00 to put a little rice on my salad even though I didn't use that shell....??? These hidden charges aren't posted anywhere and you aren't told either....scam charges...is this legal? Better report to the Better Business Bureau. I'm sure corporate Qudoba wouldn't allow or approve.

Staff was quick and helpful. Burrito bowl with Impossible crumbles was good. 3 stars simply because its fast food Tex Mex and standards are not so high in terms of food

The worst experience in my life. The guy ( I gess he's the manager ) literally put 1 scoop of rice, half scoop of beans, 3 or 4 pieces of chicken, etc. I don't understand, if this is the logic to have more costumer I don't know was is wrong with this place. It was horrible I personally don't recommend it.

I love Qdoba and this is my choice location. Since it is my local Qdoba, I'm here at least once a month, and the staff is always so friendly! I always order a naked burrito (Qdoba-speak for a burrito bowl) and it's always sooooo good. The one thing that sets Qdoba apart from Chipotle: THE QUESO. OMG so delicious! Every time I come to this location the staff always promptly serves me and sometimes when it's not busy they even treat me to a cookie or something! Awesome people! See you soon :)

Awesome food and excellent meal experience at terminal A, Newark airport location. really very nice manager who cares about customers. Wife and I enjoyed the food and way better than Chipotle :)

We came at 9 to grab dinner while in town for an event. We all had the stuffed sole specials. Originally one of our party ordered swordfish but the kitchen ran out. It took them 45 minutes to tell us this so it took over hour to get the food. We were the last people to leave the restaurant. The food was good. But not so good to make up for that really long wait.

The service was not good. It's hard to get good customer service when gratuities are already implemented. They said it's was real crab 🤔meat and it was not for😡 $35 it should have been.

Nice staff and nice place. Certain dishes were hits certain were not. Decent prices be ready to pay about 20 for apps and 20-70 for entrees.

Tried their food for the first time yesterday and was pleasantly surprised yet grateful that they served chicken wings like it ought to be (a whole chicken wing counted as one) the wings were seasoned and fried well. The food temperature was on point. Overall the food was very good. The cashiers were polite. Would recommend and would definitely eat there again. Thank you all!

Service was excellent. All staff members were friendly and helpful. Mussels Diablo were ok. Seafood paella was disgusting. Overcooked, soupy, and testless. Do not recommend it at all. Interior decor could be better.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. They have dining set up downstairs and upstairs, they have more of a fine dining set up.

Went to a friends sweet 16 birthday party here and the setup was really nice. Thank goodness it was on a Sunday because parking would have been tough. We were on the second floor. Tables were set up according to the number in the party which we had about 20. One thing that was annoying was another party that was there was very loud. I mean laughing and talking as if they were they only ones there. It would have been nice if they asked them to calm down a bit but nope we had to deal with it until they left. The food was really good. No one at our table had problems or complaints. We ordered a pitcher of red and white sangria. Neither tasted flavorful like a sangria should be to me. Maybe they put to much ice 🤷🏾‍♀️. Overall a great place to eat and I do plan to return.

I have been here 4 times in the last month. I have had the southern breakfast which comes with chicken sausage, eggs, potatoes, and the best biscuit (next to my mama's) I've ever had. The photos do these dishes very little justice. Each dish posted, are very different with very different tastes. And still each one is so DELICIOUS 😋. I love this place. She their Cosmopolitans. 🍸😊 Yes, the food is absolutely wonderfully delicious. But the place itself has a whole vibe and displays plenty of art, diversity and culture throughout the restaurant. If I were to recommend anything on your first, second, even third visit would be to try the chicken and cornbread waffles. As you can see in the pictures, it will not and does not disappoint. On my next visit, maybe I'll have the shrimp and grits. I'll keep you posted.

I had the opportunity to finally visit this restaurant after passing by several times while shopping at Whole Foods (which is just around the corner) with my college-bound twins. It was an early Father’s Day dinner. The food, in my opinion, was good and my son agreed. He even mentioned he would like to return. However, my daughter became emotional during dinner. So, she did not have much to say about the meal, except that she did not enjoy the deviled eggs. On the other hand, I personally enjoyed them. We had a great experience visiting the Red Rooster in Harlem a few years ago and it was evident that the neighborhood community fully supports the restaurant. Thus, for this place located in downtown Newark, it might take the additional support from the surrounding business community to make it a long lasting go-to spot in the area. Nonetheless, I plan to visit again in order to gain a better perspective on the overall experience.

The girls and I got together for food and drinks here. I been here a long time ago before and was looking forward to it. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and found my table. The place is super cute! We were served by Kioni, and she was great. I started with the lemon drop martini drink, and it was good. For my meal I got the mussels and it was delicious. The girls really enjoyed their meals and they looked so good. The bill was very affordable, and I definitely enjoyed my time!

Went with my husband last night and we really enjoyed it. Every bite was delicious! We had the grilled salmon with watermelon salad and the chicken and waffle. Everything had so much flavor and texture. To drink, we enjoyed a lychee martini and an espresso martini. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming back!

What a delight!! I’m so glad I came here. The deviled eggs are absolutely addictive. I could easily eat 3 orders in one sitting. The cornbread is probably even better!! You will not want to share. The appetizers are pretty strong and I could easily just come for apps and drinks. I had the oxtail pizza. It was okay but paled in comparison to the deviled eggs and cornbread. My friend who had the ragu raved about it. I also had the roasted corn (which I thought would be whole but was more of a chowder fyi). The corn was good and so were the fries but both were a little heavy on the salt. Overall a good experience. At the very least you must go for the cornbread and deviled eggs!! I will probably be back to try the ragu.

Experienced the sexiest, tastiest, seasoned waffle fry I’ve encountered in all of my life, to complement an equally tasty ‘Yard Bird’ Sandwich (Not pictured since I was so consumed with eating them). Staff was attentive and atmosphere very welcoming. Prices are surprisingly affordable. Will be back and most definitely would recommend. Good news, I was back and it was better. 10/10 would recommend. 🙂

Nice atmosphere, great food, great service. The place is simply but elegantly decorated with high ceillings and a lot of light. The food was simple but creative and everything was cooked to perfection and extremely fresh. There is in most dishes an elegant balance between the textures ( smooth, creamy, soft opposed to crispy), of flavor (bitterness opposed to sweetness). The wine list is adequate with a good choice of bottles and wine by the glass. The cocktails may look simple but they are crafted to perfection. The service is outstanding, attentive, diligent bit at the same time relaxed and making you feel at home. A brilliant gem of a restaurant.
