5300 Bergenline Ave, West New York, NJ 07093, United States

“This place used to be good, pre-covid. Just left, only positive is they comp the parking upstairs up to one hour. Cash Only - its 2022, they cater to an older demographic millennials and gen-z’s …”

“A friend and I discovered this place and love the food, made fresh and fast.”

“Balthazar is a well known food store in NYC. Many people don’t know that they bake all their breads and cakes in Englewood NJ, where they also have an outlet. I can easily say that Balthazar bakes the best bread in a 15 mile radius around NYC.”

292 Passaic Ave, Fairfield, NJ 07004, United States

“Tavern 292 is the epitome of casual eateries. The atmosphere is relaxed, warm, and welcoming. Great crowd at the bar and the tables inside the restaurant were packed. And after trying the food, I now know why. Started out with a mighty generous portion of nachos that tasted even better after each bite. The toppings were well proportioned and did not conflict with each other. After that, I had a most excellent fish and chips. Golden brown and not greasy—couldn’t have asked for anything better. Crispy exterior with a flavorful interior. Awesome place to go on a date or just hang with friends.”

900 NJ-15 North, Lake Hopatcong, NJ 07849, United States

“Everything my family and I ate here was extraordinary, for some reason. Even the pretzel bites were so far above average. I had the loaded pierogis, they were the best I’ve ever had. It didn’t take long at all to get our food either! I totally recommend coming here.”

”After just trying out Calima Bakery for the first time today, I have found my go to spot for the best, delicious, authentic Colombian food. While I only tried their bakery items this time, I will be sure to try their kitchen menu next time, as the quality and taste is amazing. They have great pricing and portions are generous, would definitely recommend coming here, staff is friendly and helpful as well. Overall a 10/10 and would recommend. I got their pandebono, their Roscon con dulce de leche (it was huge) and they let me try one of their beef empanada (delicious, but just wished it was meatier, but the potato’s inside were nice and tender)”

615 E Moss Mill Rd, Smithville, NJ 08205, United States

”Stopped in after doing wine tasting at Tomasello Winery and it was just what we needed. Somewhere close to eat and recharge before heading out. Staff was very polite and friendly. It was small but clean and food came out fast. It’s good if you are looking for quick fast food. It’s also byob which was great. There were some tables outside by the lake but i don’t particularly like wooden tables. I had a lobster roll and it was good cold sandwich had lots of big pieces of lobster meat it was pretty tasty. The roll was grilled with butter which made it even better. Onion rings were standard crunchy and tasty. Mozzarella sticks were standard but good and came out quick we were able to enjoy while waiting on food order. Definitely would stop back in for a quick bit if ever in the area again.”

377a George St, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, United States

”Everything was great The smell when you walk in is immaculate! If you think you've had a good smash burger, you clearly haven't been to Smashville! My favorite was The Double, followed by the Smash fries! The chicken, in both the Tendy and the Sammy were juicy, tender, not too oily and seasoned to perfection. simply Great experience.”

118 Walnut St, Montclair, NJ 07042, United States

”Stopped in for the first time this week for happy hour. They have a decent amount of items to choose from-both drinks and food. We ordered the oysters ($1.50/each)-they were decent, Thai chili wings were outstanding, we enjoyed the fried pickles and the cheese pizza was okay. We will definitely be back for the wings! They have their own beers-we enjoyed their lager. Parking is available on the side street and meters in front. Big area to meet with a group and plenty of bar space.”

”I’ve had food from The Little York twice recently. The first time I had a smash burger and sat by myself at the bar. The burger was awesome and the servers were very friendly, so I was excited to try another meal. This time I picked up a …”

237 Washington St, Hoboken, NJ 07030, United States

”My wife and I had the "Our Steak" which was a large 24 oz rib eye steak that tasted very good. The menu itself was pretty limited. Offerings were of other smaller sized steaks, one fish entree, salads, and sandwiches. (If I remember correctly) Service was good, and we didn't have to wait long for our order.”

52 S Finley Ave # 5C, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920, United States

”Shake shack like ordering but better burgers and way better crunchy fries. They also have veggie burgers, chicken, chicken wings, onion rings. etc. Chicken sandwich was a bit oily. They have about 10 tables indoors and a few outdoor picnic tables. Parking is plentiful.”

3107 Atlantic Brigantine Blvd, Brigantine, NJ 08203, United States

”Nice old school type of ice cream/burger joint. I had the brigantine hot dog (which was Nathan’s) and it was very good. Service was relatively fast and nice. I’d definitely consider going back one day.”

87 Passaic St, Garfield, NJ 07026, United States

”I’ve been wanting to try JAM burger out for a while now and it did not disappoint! The establishment is very clean, and the workers are friendly. The burgers and milkshakes are very delicious, one of the best burger spots in the area! We ordered the classic burger and JAM burger - both highly recommended. Parking is limited to what you can find on the street which is a downfall.”

75 Franklin Ave, Ridgewood, NJ 07450, United States

”Instead of East Coast Burger, they should’ve named it USA burger because this was the best burger I ever had in all of USA!!! As a professional motorcycle rider and food critic, I am traveling all around the country to find the best restaurants. The burger was delicious, fries were crispy, and the employees were very friendly! 10/10 would recommend to any burger lover.”

”Sooo good ! This is my first time ever having a pastel. The pastel is similar to a empanada but WAY bigger.And the sandwich was amazing . Didn’t realize it had ham but next time I’ll ask without ham. Together it was $14.”

33 Main St, Woodbridge Township, NJ 07095, United States

”A cool rustic/modern brew pub to grab some food and drinks. We ate in the outdoor area, which has lots of seating. Half of it is covered while the other half is open. It’s right next to the train station so you’ll hear the occasional train horn.”

2 2nd St, Jersey City, NJ 07302, United States

”Checked this place out for a birthday dinner my friend planned for me and had the best time! Ambiance was nice and chic-looking with the option of outdoor seating (we decided to sit indoor since it was a bit hot outside). Once we were all seated, our server was attentive and helpful in choosing our cocktails to start off with. I decided to try the Watermelon Sames, which tasted refreshing and perfect for the summer (comes with a watermelon ball)! We also ordered a bunch of appetizers such as the seafood tower, truffle fries, goat cheese croquettes, etc. followed by our entreé, where majority of us ordered the braised short ribs. All tasted amazing and cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend for a celebration! Would also come back to check out their happy hour.”
