"The food was nothing short of amazing!!! Everything was made and cooked to perfection. The chicken gyro hit all the taste buds. The triple decker Sliced Turkey & Bacon Club was enormous had to save half for later. The kids loved the Tex-Mex Rolls. And the dessert <3 FRESH STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE Napoleon Oreo Truffle was so fresh and delicious. Topped off with Bam Bam Milkshake and Mocha Mudslide milkshake. I could rave about this place all day and night!!!"
"I ordered often and before covid dined at the diner way before it was west essex. The chicken sliders were prepared sloppy and unappealing. Slider rolls are small , therefore the filling to he a compatible size. The chicken cutlets were cut in sizes that were not only to large for the bun but unattractive. The tomato and lettuce were obviously cut for a full size bun and because of the take out container, they were soggy. They should have been packed separately. I asked for crispy fries. they were soggy as well from the container. they should have been placed in a container that had holes to keep them crispy!"

"Ordered two gyros early like 6 in the morning with special instructions and they follow them all perfectly. Some of the best gyros Ives had, gonna definitely order again alot "
"I have to say that I was a little disappointed. I havent had Quicks in over a year and something clearly has changed. The Philly Cheese Steak was not the same. The meat was shoved into one side of the bread so half my sandwich was empty. It was skimpy and not as flavorful as times in the past. Hardly any peppers & onions. The Macaroni salad was drenched in so much mayo. This meal was just mediocre today..It didn't hit like the Quicks I know and love. Sorry"
