I am reading the reviews and they all seem pretty stellar. The overall is roughly 4.5 stars. I am giving this review one star. If I could give it less I would. My wife and I had dinner there last night and we ordered a hotdog, french fries and a fountain drink. The order was totally wrong. We ordered hotdogs with just sauce on them but received them "all the way". Also, one of the drinks tasted like medicine! Once we received the hotdogs and took a bite, we were surprised at how bad they really tasted. The sauce was not palatable, and the Sabrett hotdog is a very low end hotdog to serve. We have eaten at other hotdog establishments (the Goffle Grill in Hawthorne, Johnny and Hanges in Fairlawn, the Hot Grill in Clifton, etc.). The hotdogs and sauces at these restaurants are far superior. Suggest that reviewers eat at one of these places and then compare it to pops place. The French fries were the only saving grace at this establishment. Double thumbs down to the service, and the food. Needless to say, we will not be eating here again. It is a shame because it could be so much better. Suggest getting better high-quality hotdogs and revamping your sauce recipe.

Stopped in this morning at Pop's Place on Route 48 E. In Rockaway Township after hearing quite a few rave reviews. Cozy, old school style looking little roadside, classic style NJ eatery serving up a selection of Sabrett specialty hot dogs , sandwiches , burgers , grilled chicken boxes, spuds and rings, in addition to a mouth watering selection of your traditional New Jersey breakfast choices. Super fast and friendly service and immaculately clean, it was a family friendly joint to just sit, relax, and stuff your face with a variety of your favorite menu items, be it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I went with Pop's Breakfast Bomb. Taylor Ham (6 slices, beautifully charred), Sausage Patty, 2 Eggs, several slices of American Cheese, on a toasted Brioche Bun. WOW! This sandwich was as good as it sounds. Each bite was an explosion of flavor, and ample enough for two people. TeamTaylorNJ, if you haven't stopped by as of yet. Give it a try. Great stop, great food, nice people. Good luck and continued success. 03/30/2024

Recently had the chance to stop in to Pop’s Place in Rockaway, NJ with some foodie buddies for what ended up being an epic sampling session. Breakfast, lunch, dessert…we had it all. I’ll say one thing right off the jump, Pop’s has some of the nicest and helpful staff I’ve come in contact with, which always makes the experience just that much better.Started off with a couple breakfast items and tried out “The Breakfast Bomb” and some Jersey Meat, Egg, and cheese sliders (I refuse to debate whether it’s pork roll or Taylor ham…Jersey Meat it is.). The breakfast bomb was delicious. How can you not love the combo of sausage, bacon, and Jersey meat all backed into one sandwich with egg and cheese? It’s physically impossible. And as good as that was, if you remove the bacon/sausage, those sliders were still excellent on their own. I’d order either of these items for breakfast without even blinking twice.Now we get into some doggies!! I’ve grown fond of the dogs on my travels because it’s how I really got into blogging in the first place. It was something easy that I knew my kids would eat (at the time they were super picky) so I started trying them out all over. With that said, the all the way dog here with the chili, onion, and mustard is one of the best I’ve had. The chili sauce here is meaty, has a lot of flavor, they put plenty of it, and it looks appealing. At nearly every place I get an all the way, at least one of those four things to hit on is missing. Not at Pop’s.The Chicago dog simply cannot be slept on either. It doesn’t have the trademark “bright green relish”, but it doesn’t need it. The flavor is spot on, and I mean spot on. This is better than some of the Chicago dogs I’ve had … in Chicago. If these toppings fall in your wheelhouse of enjoyment, it’s worth a look. The Italian Dog was also a treat. There is a constant debate over what type of roll and what type of potatoes to use for these so you’re never going to be able to please everyone on this item if you’re a restaurant. I found this to be a good dog, regardless of preferences on those items.Closed out with a killer vanilla shake that I finished before anyone else was even halfway through theirs. If you know me, you know that’s a big statement because I’m really not into sweets like that typically, I’m more of a savory guy. This shake had excellent flavor and viscosity though and was topped with fresh real whipped cream and sprinkles. It honestly was a real treat.The only other important thing to note (aside from it being outrageously easy to get to, it’s right on the highway), is that they have created a dining area suited for all weather conditions. It is enclosed with heaters for the winter time and they can roll down the windows for nicer weather. There is also an outdoor seating area you can use.One of the easiest things I’ve ever been able to say…Pop’s Place in Rockaway, NJ - Didn’t Suck!

Food was great and good portions. I got the Texas Dog box with cheese fries and my boyfriend got the double smash burger. Both were so yummy. The burger was huge and so good he brought one home for my son.Service was great the young man working the register was shy and soft spoken but super nice and made sure to give us our options and repeat our order for accuracy.The eating area is a closed porch like area. It was cold and rainy outside but the porch was pleasantly warm and dry.
Friendly staff. Great menu. Delicious food. I had the smash burger box. Made fresh. So yummy
