    We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with other family members. The menu choices were plentiful and the food was great. It was extremely busy (and rather noisy, but that's understandable), but the service was great by Jenson, our waiter. We're definitely coming back to the Cranbury Inn for dinner in the future!

    The food was good but the service was not. We were part of a large group. Despite his best efforts, our server, Tom, was overwhelmed. More servers were needed. My wife's food never came. My friend didn't get his salad. The acoustics in the room where we were seated wasn't good.

    Our group of 27 people in a separate dining room was served by only one main waiter, who did his best, but obviously was outmanned by the task. We can’t fault him for the slow service but one person’s dinner and another person’s side salad never arrived, with a cocktail being inordinately slow, and someone’s additional grilled chicken to her salad, arriving late in the game. Apologies were made, but nevertheless one person left without having any entrée. Basic food if you got it.

    Good food. I had the sirloin steak, and my wife had the crab cakes. Both were very good. Service was a little slow.
