Reply to comment by Wonderful_Ad3017 in Ribs in northern NJ? by poland626

Sounds like a great place to take my wife for our monthly date. Dive bars usually gets her to let her hair down and she kicks back and let's loose so I'm looking forward to grabbing some drinks there too°

Not sure if I'm more excited about the ribs or the alcohol we'll consume 🤣

My wife and kids are always ordering from these apps which I'm okay with or else guess who's gonna br running back and forth for them hmmmm 🙄?!?!

I've taught them to be good tippers since those guys driving back and forth using their own gas and whatnot work hard so it's a minimum $5 to $10 tip regardless of what they're ordering.

My wife who's been making her own yeast and pizza dough honestly has been killing in this past few months with her pizza.

I'd recommend " Mary's " since hers has been next level. Can't lie

Our kids, their friends, our friends who's visited all have tried and loves it as well.

Sorry I know my response doesn't not assist you at all regarding your parents unless they want to travel all the way up to NNJ 🙂

There's the back roads ofc. Being a life long Paramus resident you know there's Paramus Rd or Fairvew Ave that kinda runs parallel to rt 17 so you may avoid that area.

My son attends the private school there in Paramus so I have to head towards that mess every morning regardless. We'll all just need to be patient and understand that it's for the better ofc

We used to live in the area. Probably less than a mile behind the Starbucks going North and I cannot tell you how relieved we are that we no longer live there.

We still need to commute back and forth in that entire exchange of rt 4 and rt 17 but not necessarily going south into the repair area. I'm just weary that the residual backup that we'll see in the mornings while they do construction.

I'm not where near there in the afternoon or during the evening rush hour but I'm sure it'll be just as bad.

I'll pray do us both.

Yes ma'am!!! Finally right?!?!

They're starting sometime this year. Before the summer I believe and it's gonna be awhile before that entire thing is done. Widening right after the mall going south and somewhere going north too ofc.

It's needed. Been needed for decades so while they do what they need to do ....... we'll be in traffic jam Hell?!

The rt 17 and rt 4 roundabout. Doesn't matter if you're going north, south, exiting to go east whatever it sucked.

Only to be made worse once they start expanding rt 17 south after the mall. Going from 2 lanes to 3 lanes so the traffic will be horrendous on certain days.

Not a single car on that road!?!?!?

Ohhh if it could only be like that every day right?!?

Either your going home from your overnight shift or headed to work on a very early shift?

No rain today so enjoy the sun when it finally comes out again 🙂

Those hotel/ motels were great and convenient for me when I used to date a girl who went to Trenton State College years ago and I lived up North!!

Not the fanciest hotels at all but give me credit since I at least took her to a hotel than be a cheap ass and use ummm the backseat of my car!?!?!

I'd like to think she appreciated it too!!
