Lawrence Grill

Slow slow service. Only 3 small groups and it still took an 1hr to get our food. Plus food was barely edible. i won’t be back.

Terrible food, stay away

hungry! and it was dinner time.
i ordered a bacon bleu cheese burger. i didn’t expect much from this place at all. it was almost completely empty. the food exactly met my expectation. mediocre. the burger patty was perfectly round, which means that they didn’t make their own… really? it’s a restaurant, and you’re using frozen beef patties? the sauce that came with it was nice though. the side sweet potato fries were… not good. they let them sit out for too long. the outside looked done, but it’s not crispy anymore. really? you can’t fry fries to order? nothing was real bad though. i guess people should come here for drinks while their wives were shopping in the mall.

ATROCIOUS! Amazing that a place like this could stay in busimess.
Was dirty, slow and unprofessional. Felafel might as well have been fried hockey pucks — and that was a special.
Will have me running to the food court next time I’m I’m the mall. 1 star is being generous.

I’m loving my USA trip so far.
Had a great first day at Six Flags Great Adventure riding coasters.
The only slight problem is a lack of planning as far as the World Cup is concerned. I’m in the USA for most of it!
So I was very pleased to find a sports bar to watch the England game live today. It was nice to see a crowd there — Americans do appreciate football/​soccer, it would seem!
The barman was up for a good chat about everything football and he kept my lemonade refreshed for over 2 hours. It only cost me $ 2 for that whole time — the refills were free. He earned a hefty tip.
A great afternoon watching the England v Algeria game live in Princeton NJ with Brits, Americans, Ivorians, Guetemalans, Germans… Fantastic!

GARBAGE.
Granted it is the only place in the QB mall with a bar — go for the drinks if you must wait out someone’s shopping trip. Otherwise skip it and hit any one of the lesser-​priced joints on Route 1 if you are looking for chain food. Honestly, Applebee’s has them beat hands down — which is pretty sad.

Lawrence Grill is in Quaker Bridge Mall near one of the mall entrances. I’m generally not a fan of sports bars. The fish sandwich I had here was okay, not spectacular. The place was almost empty so it was a mystery why service and food preparation took so long. I’d probably pick a different restaurant if I’m ever at this mall again.

Here is a good indication as to how bad this restaurant is: I tried to get on Unilocal from it to post this review (I was thwarted by low bars on my smartphone). It isn’t awful in that «woah! roaches» way, but in that way where everything has been clearly previously canned, frozen or dehydrated.
My son’s milk shake contained no ice cream and tasted incredibly bizarre. Our french onion soup was obviously right out of a can and so hot that it took thirty minutes to cool off enough to eat. It managed to be salty, watery and tasteless all at the same time — which is pretty impressive. The macaroni and cheese was that bright orange that you can only achieve with box of Kraft. It tasted and looked exactly like every box of Kraft mac and cheese that you’ve ever seen (and not the «deluxe» kind, either). My veggie burger was bizarre, and the mushrooms on top were spongy and tasteless — clearly out of a can.
The Lawrence Grill wasn’t gross or disgusting, but you could make the same meal at your house for less than $ 7 and in less time. Both my son and I ended up feeling pretty nauseated within 15 minutes of the end of our meal. I would seriously recommend everyone avoid this restaurant.

Nice Atmosphere and good selection
Took my parents and sister in-​law here the other day for dinner. I had been here a few times for the bar but this was the first time for any food.
My mom and I got the fish and chips. It came with 2 good size pieces of beer battered fish and a huge pile of fries and cold slaw that my mom says was the best she has had. It had a good taste. The overall dish was excellent. Fish and chips is my test dish for new restaurants that have it on the menu and this was one of the best ones I have had in a long time.
My wife and sister in-​law got salads that were huge. They both came with a lot of grilled chicken. They both liked it and had enough to take home for lunch the next day.
My dad ordered the Muscles Marinara but sent it back because there were to many bad muscles. He ended up just getting pasta with Marinara sauce.
For desert I had a piece of cheese cake which was very good.
The beer selection is very good with a small choice of micro brews. I like to find a bar with some variety to there beet selection since I am all ways looking for different kinds of beers.
The service was a little slow so if you are in a hurry you might want to pass but if you have time to kick back and enjoy the people or person you are with then I would recommend the Lawrence Grill.
