I've gone here several times with various Princetonians. The food is good, although commonly Princeton high priced. The beer selection recently improved greatly -- Dogfish Head 60 minute on tap, Sly Fox Pikeland Pilsner, and some others worth having. In bottle, you get some real winners, like McChouffe, and others. I've never been disappointed by the food, and today's lunchtime service was exemplary, though other times it's been only so so. Based on today's visit, I'd go back again. I had a Filet Mignon sandwich with Pepper Jack Cheese and salsa that was phenomenal.
I went here in response to an early review on yelp, expecting great things. I brought my family, sat down, with some effort, and tried to order. We wanted Dosa, which were on the menu, the waiter took our order, then returned to let us know that Dosas were available on Mondays only. Okay 1) get it off the menu then, and 2) let us know when we sit down what's not available. We walked out, and from the looks of things, we made the right decision. Run, don't walk, to Uduppi Dosa house -- they know how to treat people. We'll never go back to this place, and I've been going there since it was the Bucks county diner.
Consistently good food, if a bit pricey. Enjoyable visual atmosphere. A little dark, in my opinion, but adds to the brand. I've always had sandwiches, rather than the ribs, and they are always good. The service is variable by server, in my experience, but is generally good. Nice place, for sure.
Up until very recently, I regarded this Uno's as just another chain joint. The manager here has an affinity for craft beer and has instituted a rotating tap policy. Where only bud, coors, and miller flowed before, I have recently had a steady stream of Dogfish Head, Southern Tier, and St. Bernardus amongst many many others, some on tap, many in bottles. They appreciate craft beer, which is more than I can say for most chains in the area. Cheers to this location for stepping in a new direction. The food is delicious too, but this place is about great beer. BTW, fantastic over the top service.
One of my standards for "the New Jersey Diner", though there are many. This one is consistently and reliably good. I love the service, the food, the staff, the salad bar, and the prices. It's always clean, always well prepared, and always satisfying. I have been going here for about 10 years, and I can not ever remember being disappointed. It is kid friendly, quiet atmosphere, and above all, consistent. Possibly the best hamburger I've ever eaten anywhere.

This was the venue for an after party for a conference. It was fantastic. Great craft beer selections, including victory, breckenridge, chimay, dogfish head and others, on tap or in bottles. I had some sweet potato fries that were delicious. Then, the music started. I happened to catch Rubblebucket Orchestra with Agent Moosehead and it was one of the best live shows I've ever seen, hands down, for only $10. It was amazing, fun, clean, and the service was impeccable. I will be back.

Very clean, great service, fresh salad, hot tandoori chicken, buffet was varied, samosa were crisp, naan was just right mix of stretchy, crisp, and buttery. Everything was great, I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Very good ice cream, but the prices kept me from trying too much more. The cakes look amazing, but unaffordable. Especially on a calorie budget. Nice atmosphere, comfortable, delicious, and certainly in keeping with Princeton. Pricey, but always worth it.
It's a diner, but a very nice one. The salad bar is fresh and varied. The entrees if a bit overpriced, are very good. I took my wife here on our first date to give you some idea of how I regarded this place in the past. I haven't been there in a while, but I imagine, like a lot of the rest of Bensalem, it has not changed (very) much. I have a special place in my heart, but I'm not overtly biased. If you like Diner food, you won't likely be disappointed.

Metro Italian Family Restaurant & Grill
Category: Italian
In Ewing, you can''t get any closer to fine dining than Metro. Maybe Sal's but I digress. Ewing is a town of very good trattorias, hamburger stands, and one or two really good bars, but Metro is about great food, a nice atmosphere, and an above average dining experience. I really enjoyed myself when I was there -- I had a very good chicken and pasta dish with Flying Fish on tap, and a quiet but tasteful musical accompaniment. Try it if you stop by Exit 3 on 95 in NJ.
