We’ve done polls on your favorite pizza, favorite burger, favorite bar, but with several “Best of” restaurant stories lately, it occurred to me that while we’ve polled readers about the types of restaurants they’d like to see in Rahway, we’ve never blogged about their favorite existing restaurants.
We’ll have the usuals like Luciano’s, The Waiting Room and Cubanu, and others outside of downtown, like Beana’s but since I hate to leave out any establishments, we’re open to suggestions on what places to list in the poll — either post in the comments below or send me an email [rahwayrising(at)gmail.com].
For this poll, we’ll stick to the larger, sit-down places and leave the smaller eateries and takeout joints for another, separate poll. Either way, it gives us something to do during the slow summer months, like while I’m on vacation.
I’ll give you a few days to come up with some ideas and suggestions and post a new poll by next week.
Flynns. Cubanus. Waiting Room? Galaxy Diner? Mangos. That Italian place on St. George that used to be the Fish place – forget the name. Nancy's. Firehouse. Mr. Apple Pie? The little diner on Cherry Street. La Malinche? What's that place on Monroe/Grand too, used to be a churrascquerra (sorry for THAT spelling). Is El Bodegon open?Wait, was I supposed to just say my favorite? Whoops.
I haven't ate at some of those places you named but I would choose the Waiting Room for its casual atmosphere and mix of crowd. Plus they have giant shrimp and friendly staff. I don't know what happened to the Spanish place that opened. The Galaxy Diner changed and their prices went up sky high that nobody I know goes there anymore. Thing is, alot of these places do not advertise and are hoping for word of mouth which is usually the best way to gain business. However, if you want to gain some extra curious business contact me.
I tried Kim's in the Mix Soul Food Restaurant and Dessert Cafe (corer of W Main & Irving, two weeks ago, food delicious, service was pleasant, a little slow. So glad my friend Maria suggested it, I hadn't noticed it opened. I have to go back to try the desserts 🙂
I finally walked into Chai Cafe the other week. Awesome chai milkshake! Never had anything like it.
