South Plainfield Restaurants

The best steakhouse in NJ and none other comes even a close second in comparison. The Boss in his RED Steakhouse 85 logo shirt, the staff simply amazing. Went with two kids and 6 adults and they treated us with so much patience with my allergies to seafood and my wife being a person who does not eat read meat ( go figure). The food you ask? OMG the bacon, the Calamari ( wife and friends who had it) and the Shrimp ( wife told me) just delicious and cooked to perfection along with the 40 Oz porterhouse ( medium) and my wife’s Veg Risotto layered with Cilantro Shrimp. Fabulassimo. Have lost count how many times I have been there but if you are in NJ, heck if are in NYC, this is where you should be coming if you like the Tomahawk, the Ribeye and baby the Porterhouse. Give you 400 out of 100. ❤️🎉🤗🎈🎂🥃👏🦌🎅 merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New 2025 to the staff and personnel of Steakhouse 85.

We’ve loved the food, the atmosphere and the overall experience every time we’ve dined at Meximodo! The Street Corn app is a must try! I love that it’s served off the cob, with all the trimmings and ready for you to scoop up all the goodness. I’ve had the pollo con mole, the enchiladas with steak and the shrimp tacos the various times we’ve dined here and they’ve all been phenomenal! Always have to finish off with an order of churros! I haven’t gotten a chance to attend a tasting event YET, but I sent friends to one, and they had such a great time! The atmosphere in the restaurant is great - it’s vibrant, lively and decorated superbly! The tequila wall, with some tequilas only reachable by the accompanying library-ladder, is a great focal point and really brings together the whole place. Be prepared for this place to be BUSY on any given night and deff make a reservation even if you think you won’t need it. We just so happened to be celebrating two different birthdays the past two Tuesdays and I was deff glad I made those reservations because we would’ve been waiting a tad. If I had one minor suggestion/comment (not complaint, per se) it would be to consider smaller dinnerware and serveware or bigger tables because as beautiful as the stoneware flat plates are they exceed the footprint of the table when you’re served dinner and still got apps you’re working on, at least at the 4-tops. You end up being a bit busy playing Tetris to try and make everything fit comfortably.

Always delicious. Freshest seafood and best oysters around.

The food and atmosphere were outstanding! Creative and delicious combinations of flavors. Kielbasa appetizer was a winner as was the octopus. Scallops, salmon, and suckling pig entrees were all well prepared and beautifully presented. Cocktails were on the weak side but the cappuccino was excellent.

Red Lobster South Plainfield, NJ is a good choice! We ordered two very good meals, the Seafarer's Feast and the Mariner's Feast (both in the $30.00 price range.) One platter was Fried Shrimp, grilled Maine Lobster tail, Garlic Shrimp, and a skewer of 4 fantastic scallops. The other was Fried Shrimp, the skewer of scallops, and Salmon topped with Langostino sauce. Each came with a choice of two sides and the Cheddar Bay biscuits. Our choices were garden salad and mashed potatoes. Everything was very good! Our waiter was new but very concerned about doing a good job; he checked with us several times, and I also heard him asking another customer if his cocktail had come out the way he requested. That customer was also very satisfied and joked with the server. Another server who recognized us (I was surprised by that), came over just to ask how our grandchildren were doing because she remembered their photos from a previous visit. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The only real drawback to most of the Red Lobster chain is the somewhat dated decor. I can live with that.
