Restaurants in Cliffside Park

“Aden was an incredible server.
The food was out of this world! The flavors blended together seamlessly! The riblets and the lemon Cole slaw, and the chimichurri was the best I’ve had yet!!

And btw you’ll thank me later but the solan ice cream must be what the manna tasted like 3300 years ago”

“Great authentic Japanese plus modern inclusions. Options for the whole family”

“Steaks and caipirinhas, all day!”

“Excelente atención y muy buen sazón”

“A Beautiful restaurant, great food very authentic, the Burek with beef is amazing, the Fasule with sausage is a must try, the decor is very cozy, you must finish with a delicious tres leqe. Will come back definitely to try more dishes. Keep up the great work guys.”

“Juan Dulce does desserts right. The hospitality that you receive the minute you walk in is what missing in many places. He has amazing empanadas and an amazing breakfast sandwich. Oh and such a good tres leche, can’t say there something I don’t like and trust me I’ve tasted them all!”

“A hidden gem in Cliffside Park. Took my family here. Generous portion. $7 for a huge burek is the best. Their Cabbage sarma is delicious. Come with rice or mashed potato, we chose with mashed potato.”

“Found this place on TickTock and what a find!!! Amazing service, so welcoming and the team gets to know you. Food is delusions , creative in the way they host events . You walk in as a customer , and walk out as family. Highly recommended this place , as I even held my birthday party here. 10/10!!!”

“A must-visit spot for anyone craving a little taste of Turkey! 🇹🇷 We absolutely loved the mantı. The mezes served alongside the food were amazing, and the mixed grill platter was super satisfying. A special thanks to Mr. İnan for his warm hospitality and great service. Everything was wonderful, and we had an amazing experience!”

“I celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and could not have asked for a better experience. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, the food was outstanding, and the service was attentive and friendly. It truly made my day special — highly recommend!”

“Awesome spot for a quick bite and inviting to stay and relax - great cookies and the the espresso was 👌”

“I recently hosted a holiday party at 690, and everything exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere was vibrant, the space was perfect, and the bar options were excellent. We rented the entire upstairs private floor with a cash bar, and it worked out beautifully. They catered the event, and the food was absolutely phenomenal, with plenty of menu options to choose from. If you're searching for a venue to host your next event, I highly recommend considering 690—it’s a fantastic choice!”

“I'm very impressed. I believe this is the best burger chain in the area. The burger concepts are tasty, and they don't go cheap on the meat. You can really taste the quality. Also, I enjoyed the friendly attitude of the father and son (presumably) who operate the place. A friendly attitude and good service is a great compliment to great food. For this reason, I am leaving a 5 star review. If you're looking for a good burger, I would come here.”

“What a hidden gem!!! We went last night for their burger and beer and it was seriously a 10/10 experience !! We absolutely loved the burger, the staff and the music !!! Deft will be coming back here more often”

“The food is fresh and delicious. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is super-friendly & attentive. Will definitely come back!”

“Lovely cafe!! Pleasant service with warmth. Delicious Turkish tea, Affogato and various baklavas! Will come back again. Thank you so much for your warm services!”

“I need to say that Renee and Carrie are amazing! Very amazing service, being able to be answered in French at the boutique was amazing! I drove twice in 2 days to grab cupcakes and cookies… I cannot say what’s my favourite out of the cupcake, the brownies, the cookies etc because everything was decadent and not too sweet. You taste the quality of the ingredients and the love they put while cooking them. The fact that Carrie was answering me while the business is close is a sign that she’s passionate and that she care about her client. They’re on the expensive side compared to other bakery, but once you compare you understand why… You taste the butter in everything! If you like some fluffy, moist, creamy cupcake this is your place… While planning my wedding, I’ve compared a few bakery and non are as good as this one… Thank you for the amazing experience and taste!”

“Great pizza place we ordered half veggie half mediteranean , dough was on point and tge ingridients are fresh! Would order again for sure”

“Idk WHAT kind of day the girl working here had to make THIS… but it must’ve been incredible. She packed my cup w love 😩 this is def worth 13.50 rather than what they usually serve me.”

“I really wanted to love this place. This was my second visit, and while there are a lot of things they do well, there are still some areas that need improvement.

Food:
As a Korean, I thought the chicken itself was really good. It was crispy, and I liked that they offer so many sauce options. My favorites were the Sweet & Sour and Spicy Garlic. The Smoky K-BBQ, it was meh- it wasn’t sweet, spicy, or smoky enough and tasted pretty bland. The SOS Spicy was extremely spicy (Buldak-level), so keep that in mind if you’re sensitive to heat.

I’ve tried a lot of Korean fried chicken spots in NJ, and I’d honestly rank this as one of the better ones. My biggest complaint is the sauce application. The chicken wasn’t coated evenly, with a lot of bare spots, and they weren’t very generous with the sauce, so there wasn’t enough to coat the pieces that were left plain.

The Blooming Onion was tasty but a little too greasy.The dipping sauce was also meh. The Korean Corn Ribs were good, but the portion felt small for the price.

Service:
This has been the biggest issue on both of my visits. They gave me an estimated pickup time, and I arrived after that, but my order still wasn’t ready. I ended up waiting another 5+ minutes even though I was the only customer there.

I know it’s World Cup season and everyone wants to watch the games, but the cooks were watching soccer while cooking instead of focusing on the orders. It gave the impression that the kitchen wasn’t paying full attention.

Overall, this is a good spot with some really solid food, but it has plenty of room for improvement. I hope the manager sees this review because with a little more attention to consistency and service, this place could easily become one of the best Korean fried chicken spots in the area.”

“As usual, the food was good. The staff was very friendly, but I'm confused why sometimes when ordering an Omakase, they include salad and soup other times we don't receive it.? There's also definitely a variation on the fish in the Omakase this time., was kind of plain ... another thing that should be noted is there is always confusion about being gluten-free when I ask for things to be prepared gluten-free I'm told I'll ask Chef but I'm never really certain if the food is gluten-free because I don't get adequate communication on that. The drinks are always 100% on point. I love the ambience. The tuna is always exceptionally fresh and it's so great to have a local spot like this. ”

“What a great find. This is a cozy coffee shop/cafe serving up Venezuelan specialties. The arepa reina and cachapa (corn pancake) de pollo were both fantastic. It took a few minutes for the food to come out, but that's because it's a one woman show, she was making the food to order, and serving up drinks. Would highly recommend if you're in the area!”

“My family and I came to the restaurant for the first time, and the service was fantastic, and the food was amazing! They sure made us feel so welcome! We didn't know what to order, and the manager explained the whole menu and helped us pick, everything was delicious!”

“Treated like family I’m comfortable there. FRESH food ingredients no jar stuff nothing fake or rushed. Rock on!”

“Un buen restaurante, deliciosa comida Turca, buena decoración, excelente atención, variedad en el menú . Muchas gracias”

“Believe the hype. I figured I would give it a try because everyone online is saying how awesome it is and let me tell you… It is awesome. I had garlic naan, basmati rice, and butter chicken. It was fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, and just what I needed!!!!”

“Best sandwich shop in North Jersey area hands down! Never disappoints!

I constantly order from this place and try new things—even though I don't always like to switch it up—and honestly everything on the menu is beyond amazing!”

“⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ¡Sabor 100% venezolano! Me encanta este restaurante. La comida es deliciosa y tiene el verdadero sazón de mi tierra. Es mi lugar favorito para consentirme y disfrutar de la gastronomía venezolana sin tener que cocinar en casa. ¡Un pedacito de Venezuela en cada plato!”

“We love eating here with our family. We celebrated our sons’ First Communion luncheon here and the food was a hit with our guests. Everything was delicious. Would highly recommend!”

“Went for lunch. Parking limited, but in front. Quality ingredients prepared with attention to detail. Real waitstaff. Clean, Clean, Clean No rushing you out. Great containers for take home leftovers. Definitely recommend. Chef Ray”

“We’ve been to Sofra Cafè twice now and will be back soon—it has a nice, cozy atmosphere, the food is delicious, and the staff is so attentive and friendly! We recently went for my daughter’s birthday, and they made it so memorable for her! Would recommend Sofra to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Albanian food and a great experience all around.”

“Best ☕️ espresso in Cliffside”

“Baked clams. No joke here. Everything is good. Go all the time. Had the sliced fillet mignon cheesesteak on garlic bread. I’m still thinking about it…… always my go to spot”

“Great food, Great service”

“The pizza was delicious! Tried the pepperoni, cheese and chicken bacon ranch all great!! Owner was incredibly nice made us feel welcome. We ordered two slices ended up ordering two more. Five star review from the family visiting from Texas.”

“A friend told me about this place. Went there a week or two ago and I LOVED it. Going back again today?”

“Welcome to the neighborhood, everything I've eaten to date is very good, nice surprise for this old timer to see Zeppole on Thursday and Friday's only.”

“Food was amazing and such a home like atmosphere. Some of the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced. Cliffside park has a gem with this place. Please come visit and I HIGHLY recommend the chimi. Prices are great especially cause of inflation but the quality is insane, food is so good they let us sample so many things. I wish you guys could smell how good it smells in here too. PLEASE TRY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IT WAS FIRE LOL.”

“Club House Cafe the best...”

“Really not sure how there’s less than 50 reviews (at the time of me writing this). I usually don’t go eat at Colombian or taco spots but today I waltzed in here, and everything I ate was absolutely delicious. I ordered what the nice lady recommended. The pork loin lunch special and birria tacos. Just fantastic. Portion size is great, pricing super fair, the two ladies working there were so sweet. Seriously a solid 9.6/10 (I never give 10s). I’ll def be back. Such a hidden gem”

“Amazing food and flavors. They are easily my new favorite place, for sure— feels like home to me. I’m so happy I found them “accidentally”. So happy. Flavors are like my mom’s and grandmas cooking. ❤️”

“Me having been in the this neighborhood five year, I would walk past this local bar regularly but recently I had noticed some construction inside followed by a name change. It got my attent but wasn't until a few months that I didn't actually go in and Covid did play a factor but man am I glad I did!!! Amy"s warm, genuine and warm greeting was a pleasant surprise. Then immediately you notice the open air lofty feel but with ever thing you expect in a classics traditional American bar. The perfectly sized newly constructed bar as you walk in on the right. Two midsize new pool table, the wall mounted monitor that can be seen from all angles, a perfect located dart board. But wait there is more. Amy who talked to us briefly about the new owners vision gave us the 5 cent tour ending it with the back yard. An oasis of a outdoor gathering area with tables, chairs and heater for those cool spring and summer nights entirely cover but a gazebo. Folks, Brass Rail 2 means business, they are built for you to come enjoy a beer watch baseball game on any of the monitors, play a game of pool, shoot some darts or just come and socialize with your friends or neighbors. Congratulations on building a nice local American Bar look I'm forward to spending time there unwinding after a good days work.”

“(Translated by Google) THE SERVICE IS AMAZING, SO BAD THAT I ORDERED A SOUP AND ANOTHER PERSON WAS SERVED IT.THAT WAS TODAY SUNDAY MIDDAY. ???????????(Original)EL SERVICIO ES MALÍSIMO, TAN MALO QUE PEDÍ UNA SOPA Y OTRA PERSONA SE LA SIRVIERON.ESO FUE HOY DOMINGO A MEDIO DÍA. ???????????”

“Highly recommended! This place is great!”

“This is such a special little spot. Long time family owned and run. Super friendly people, incredibly delicious home made Salvadoran food. Affordable, authentic. We always go here if in the area. Such a better experience than going to a chain restaurant, support an oval family and eat higher quality REAL food!”

“Por andar perdido me encontré con “La Estancia Restaurante guatemalteco” me aventuré en probarla.fue muy buena la experiencia que obtuve de ellos…Me encanta el autentico sabor guatemalteco de los platos. Muy rico y económico. 👌”

“The Double Mash with Bacon was really good. The atmosphere felt really good too. Lucas did an amazing job making my food and he clearly knows what he's doing. Micheal did an amazing job and is the whole reason the service there was exceptional.”

“We highly recommend this restaurant for lunch and dinner!”

“Ordered on grubhub, received wrong order and didnt receive baklava that I also ordered. I dont understand how my order was wrong + missing item. It still tasted good though”

“😀 hey serving sarges now”

“this place is unbelievable clean,and the food is very very good”

“Excellent delicious my favorite place 👍😋”

“After having dinner with my daughter at Sedona, we stopped here for dessert. The ice cream was delicious and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. It had a nice, balanced flavor, and we both enjoyed it. I'll definitely come back next time!”

“Steaks were 5 ⭐️!!! Definitely going back!”

“Small shop in a convenient location for locals. The sushi is fairly priced, especially if you choose one of the deals. It’s nothing extraordinary, but definitely better than the average hole-in-the-wall spot. Overall, it’s good enough that you won’t have any issues, just not particularly impressive.”

“I ordered their chicken shish for takeout, and I was genuinely surprised by how tender and juicy the white meat was! The rice was also really flavorful and paired great with it. Plus, they had a BOGO deal on Uber Eats, which made it an even better value”

“Excellent food & service nice room had a view of the street & watched the poring rain!”

“From the minute Ai walked in and was welcomed by the crew I knew I would like the restaurant. The food was fantastic. I ordered the fish from yeh special menu, we ordered other food from the regular menu. Every dish was par excellence. The service was second to none. Very very highly recommended for family, businessman also entertaining anyone. You want it to be special... go to Avila Amalgi Clifford park, Fort Lee”

“I ordered delivery three times from here and every time the food was delicious. I recommend the Italian salad, the mozzarella and tomato salad, and the eggplant parm. This became a stable for good pizza in the area.”

“Excellent Turkish bakery they have the best rice pudding and I also tried the chocolate moon cake which was not my favorite it was good . The almond pudding is also very creamy and yummy . They have a lot of food here, but I haven’t tried it but all the food I seen looks very good. I will be back here. I’ve been here two times so far.”

“Great place for breakfast! The bagel and omelette were very flavorful and seasoned perfectly for breakfast. I recommend the freshly squeezed orange juice! The sandwiches looked really tasty. I will come again for a quick bite in the morning!”

“I’m passing by this place for almost a year but never entered. I did enter 3 times in the past week and I’m delighted. They have fresh made marquesote and pan de banano. Not only the cakes were delicious but they keep their prices affordable. The ladies working there were very friendly. Will definitely try their other options for lunch and dinner.”

“What a joke, serving fresh bread in a single paper bag , without wrap or plastic protection. So sad...I believe service was left home.”

“They are great for the price a blimpie best big sandwich is great when u dont want to go stand on line for deli.it lasts for a few days. I love they are open til 3 am they have pizza cheese fries alot of things u want without going to a diner.

Parking: Well ive gotten lucky its really good just for pickup. Not very spacious.but delvery is great if your up late”

“We love the variety on their menu. From breakfast sandwiches to tacos and sides, we've tried a few plates and frequently order favorites. Every dish is done right -- very flavorful, fresh, hot and served neatly. I hope they continue to serve our neighborhood. We order takeout or fast delivery more often now than hitting up a diner or taco spot.”

“Favorite thai spot in the area😊
We've done both dining in and taking out and the food is always solid.

My favorite is the green curry and my husband always gets the pad see ew.

Ambience is charming and staff is so sweet and attentive.”

“Awsome, delicious food… love it 🤗😊”

“There was a very kind lady who served me and she was super sweet. The food I got was amazing and I enjoyed every bite! If you’re looking for a home-cooked, friendly, family-owned Chinese restaurant, this place is the #1 place to go.”

“This place deserves more recognition. It’s very close to Fort Lee and serves delicious food at affordable prices. It’s run by a warm, down-to-earth family who always makes you feel at home.”

“When you miss Taco Tuesday, and instead aim for craving on a Thursday for tacos.

We ordered a whole tray of different tacos and enjoyed the freshness all around. The tacos were packed well and not mushy by the time we ready to eat.

From the tacos tray, to the sides, and the street corn ordered - everything was done correctly.

Next time we'd like to check out Crazy Tacos instead of having it through door dash.”

“I ordered a custom cake, and it exceeded my expectations!!! Truly one of the best cakes I’ve ever had! The process was easy and fast, would recommend for everyone to order your cakes at Millers!”

“This place doesn’t look much from the outside but the inside is absolutely amazing. The staff was very professional and amazing. The food was absolutely amazing and dessert was equally Good.”
