THE BARROW HOUSE REVIEWS

I had the pleasure of being a wedding photographer at this venue a few weeks ago, and it was truly incredible. The venue features a rustic, organic field enhanced with modern touches that are simply stunning. The event hall is fantastic, and the natural sunlight pouring in is a great advantage for any occasion! I really appreciated the natural colors and how they complemented the country decor. I also got to sample some food, and the cornbread was phenomenal, while the cream and cookies left me wanting more. I highly recommend booking this place—10/10!

One of the most beautiful restaurants in northern NJ, in my opinion. the ambiance is my favorite- very rustic and cozy with fun decor. there’s also a barn area that you can have rented out for private parties. food is excellent. i’ve had brunch and dinner here and have been satisfied with everything i’ve tried at the barrow house. drinks are also delicious. there’s a fun hidden photo booth to check out too! I recommend this place to everyone, it’s just a nice restaurant experience for sure.

Melissa assisted with booking The Barn and coordinating our daughter’s intimate (non-traditional) Sweet 16. She was extremely pleasant to work with. The whole process was a breeze from start to finish. The staff is professional. The food is great. Highly recommend :)

THE HAWTHORNE DINER REVIEWS

Ample parking to the side of the street dedicated for the place. I love the decor outside. When we got there the place is almost full and we are greated by lovely staff, The place is small inside all corners has set up tables. The price is good, the serving is big for the cheap price. I will definely comeback here whenever we have chance to visit NJ.

The food is amazingly fresh, and large portions. The prices are very low. The service is prompt and friendly. I must say whomever owns this place knows their business and runs it well. I've done lunches here. Going back for breakfast soon. Hits all marks highly recommended for a casual but awesome meal.

I really like the options here the food was amazing and the service was super sweet. I asked if they could hang up a flyer from my roller derby team and they did without any questions. Grateful to have a cute little diner like this.
