“Found this place within walking distance of HUMC. It was very small, but clean, more importantly the food was very good! The Wings were on the larger side, while the mozz sticks and corn sides were great. Only drawback was the limited seating area, but the food was good enough to take “To Go”!”

4.7 Superb206 Reviews

“My only complaint is that the lone worker today, when I was paying with a credit card (without tap) took my card and tried to use tap. Before she took my card I was going to put it into the card processor. When I pointed out that it doesn’t have tap, she (2x’s) typed my card information into the register screen and it was declined (plenty of credit was available because I got gas with it shortly after). I then used my debit card which she just took from me and again tried to use tap (again not a feature on that card either). She was finally able to put my card information for the debit card and it went through. If she had let me put my card in in the first place there would have been no problem with the original transaction attempt. I feel some of the staff might need better/more training on using the register.”

Hot fish 450 Hackensack Avenue Suite 6, Hackensack Szechuan • $$

“We eat at Hot Fish quite often, and usually order the same dishes. I was lucky enough to be their "Tasting Panel Foodie" winner, and was invited to try some different items from the menu. If you want to indulge in an unforgettable gastronomic experience, you have to try the Fresh Striped Bass. I ordered it with spicy sauce, but there are six different flavors to chose from. We also ordered the Sliced Beef with Black Pepper. The beef was so tender and juicy, paired with onions and bell peppers in a savory, black pepper sauce. Then we ordered Dry Pot Cabbage, a mouth-watering Sichuan dish that you have to try. For our last course, we had the Yang Chow Fried Rice, the best I have ever tasted. Thank you, Hot Fish. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and the staff and service were exceptional. I highly recommend dining here when you are looking for a great Sichuan experience.”

The drive-thru staff was also very friendly and welcoming. From what I could see inside, the restaurant looks newly built, very clean, and well maintained.

Great customer service and a nice experience overall! 🍔🍟”

Continental Cookies 185 South Newman Street, Hackensack Bakery • $

“I stopped in to their retail shop. You would have to know it's there. It's an unassuming tiny little place on a dead end road in an industrial complex. I almost wasn't sure if it was even open. But a nice young man came out when I walked in, and I ordered a 1lb of mixed cookies. He asked what flavors I liked to make sure I got some good ones.

The cookies were all fantastic. Very flavorful without anise or fake almond or whatever it is they usually load Italian cookies up with. I think the best one we had was the chocolate macaroons though.

This is definitely a must-stop bakery any time you find yourself around Hackensack.”

“Courteous, family run business! Their sauce is made fresh, everyday. And it tastes like it! Wow! I've been to so many different acidy sauce "heartburn" pizzerias, throughout the Bergen County area, and I always need Alkaseltzer, after eating their burned sauced foods. It's terrible, how they reheat and overcook their sauce. But, not this one! This place is the best! By far! Absolutely no heartburn! I have tried many menu items, too. I've been frequently going there, over a year now. Their food is more in the lines of what you'd expect to taste at a fine Italian restaurant. Certainly, not a common pizzeria. Pricing is great, too! This place and the staff of employees, along with the new owner and his kids, deserve every bit of (5) stars! The absolute best around!”

“We've had a frankly difficult few months and decided to treat ourselves to a proper night out and this place ended up being exactly what we needed. From the moment we walked in we felt looked after. The host greeted us warmly, our table was lovely, and the whole atmosphere just put us at ease. Our server picked up immediately on the kind of pace we wanted — slow, relaxed, no rush — and matched it perfectly throughout the evening. She made a couple of recommendations that turned out to be brilliant and never once made us feel hurried through any of the courses. The food was the kind that genuinely lifts your mood. Proper flavours, generous portions, beautifully presented but not so fussy that you can't just dive in. We shared a starter, had a main each, and finished with a dessert we absolutely shouldn't have had room for but somehow found space. Every plate was a winner. The wine was poured with proper care and the bill came at exactly the right moment, not before, not too long after. It was honest and very fair for the experience. We left feeling properly restored. A genuine pleasure of a place.”

“Had a great experience at EVOLI Pizzeria & Bistro in Hackensack. This place really knows how to do New York-style pizza. The crust has a great balance of crispiness and chew, and they have a really good selection of both classic and creative pies. Their signature pizzas give you plenty of options beyond a traditional cheese or pepperoni.

I also really like the approach they take with the food. You can tell there’s a lot of attention to the dough, sauce, cheese, and ingredients, and the menu has some really interesting combinations without losing that classic pizzeria feel.

The owner was a pleasure to talk to. I really enjoyed our conversation, and it’s clear that there’s a lot of pride behind EVOLI and what they’re bringing to Hackensack.

Overall, EVOLI Pizzeria & Bistro is a great local spot for quality New York-style pizza. Great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and ownership that genuinely cares about the business and the community. Definitely worth checking out!”

“I've had the chicken wings and strips and both were delicious! Got them with the sweet and spicy sauce, can't remember what it was called and couldn't pronounce it even when I was looking at it. The chicken was super crispy and glazed with the sweet and spicy sauce. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Could have been a bit more spicy but still awesome. The fried rice was a bit lacking. Got the kimchi and pork belly variety. The kimchi was not the spicy kind I am accustomed to from other Korean restaurants I've been to. It kinda just tasted like pickled cabbage, which is effectively sauerkraut. And their were only a couple cubes of pork belly. Would definitely not order it again. Not worth the money. Will definitely go be going back for the chicken and lots of other items I am curious about!”

And for only two bucks, compared with a mediocre cup I got recently at a high-end place for $5.50. Perhaps they use steamed milk, and froth it?The server on duty when I am there is always pleasant and efficient.Sorry I cannot vouch for any of the other beverage or food items, but there are always people who seem to be heartily enjoying their food whenever I pop in.”

“I like that they offer a $10 lunch special, including veg and plantain with a soda...but it's only chicken. But seriously...you not gonna oder just that! You gotta get a patty or festival or something else that catches your eye. I had the curry chicken (a little spice but good) and a beef patty, bc they were out of chicken. I ate almost everything...and I don't feel bad about it! Will visit again, but try to avoid the out of school kids.”

“I'm 67 years old now but when I was 9 years old my mom was a waitress at the Lido. Frank and Ellen were the original owners at the time and I would go to their house and play with their kids. I used to drive the cooks crazy, I'd walk into the kitchen and watch them cook. I used to dance in front of the mirror in the lady's room. I would sit at the bar and bug the bartender for maraschino cherries. Wonderful memories and I'm so glad to see that the Lido is still there serving the same food they did 60 years ago! Family atmosphere, great memories.”

Applebee's Grill + Bar 450 Hackensack Avenue, Hackensack American • $$

“We had the best time on Saturday 09/26/26 celebrating my sister's 40th birthday! We called in advance and asked if our party of 6 ladies could sit in the largest corner booth. The manager kindly said yes:) We brought our own decorations, a few balloons, favors, cake and silver mini glitter cowboy party hats. The staff was very patient while it took us a few minutes to set up the table. Thankfully it wasn't too busy at 1pm in the afternoon.
*Thanks to our wonderful server Steve for making our time there a memorable one!!! He is such a friendly, personable and fun server, it was a pleasure to see. He went above & beyond, checked on us often and always made sure we had everything we needed. He even wore one of our mini hats the whole time LOL, and took a group selfie with us:). Definitely the best server we've had in our 20 years of going there. And then a large staff of servers and managers came out to sing Happy Birthday to my sister, which she really enjoyed! Our experience on that day was awesome and I hope to come back again to celebrate another event soon.”

When they brought his food out, the employee came with an ENTIRE basket of sauces for him to choose from! I actually had to take a picture because I had never seen that before. I was impressed!

The drive-thru staff was also very friendly and welcoming. From what I could see inside, the restaurant looks newly built, very clean, and well maintained.

Great customer service and a nice experience overall! 🍔🍟”

“Dine-in if you can, it's worth it!
We walked in on a Wednesday evening & the restaurant was empty except another family, dining in. The restaurant is clean, modern & a minimalist design.
Ordering was easy, we ordered a variety of appetizers, curries, pizzas, desserts & drinks.
The Naan pizzas are my favorite, their curries are good too! Make sure you specify your spice level when ordering.
There is paid street parking, so make sure you bring coins / pay by the app. I believe after 4 or 6pm, parking becomes free. The staff is great, welcoming & very friendly. Do note that their food is 10x better when you dine in. I've ordered delivery many times, & dine in tastes so much better!

Blue Star Cafe 2 University Plaza Dr #117, Hackensack Kosher • $

“This place isn't fancy at all. It is located inside an office building with a large window that overlooks the Fairleigh Dickinson University Hackensack campus. They serve absolutely delicious, mouth watering kosher dairy Mexican light foods and American style breakfast foods and salads. We've had many of the menu options and everything has been very good. Unfortunately, they close at 4PM Sunday through Friday (closed Saturdays and Jewish holidays) but it's worth hurrying there for an early dinner because the food is so consistently good. (The Oaxaca sopes are out of this world😋!) It's under the reliable hechsher of the RCBC (Rabbinical Council of Bergen County) and a mashgiach is on premises. The wait staff are all pleasant and helpful. It's a small place, so I'd recommend calling in advance for more than eight people. There is abundant parking on the street or in the parking lot across the street from the building. This is a handicap accessible venue.”
