“Fantastic, such a convenient place with great late night hours!”
“The ambience the Staff the location and all that goes with Hackensack Brewery I will tell everyone to SUPPORT this establishment see u guys soon”
“Very great experience with the entrance. Presentation 10/10. Family welcoming. Food and service 10/10. We loved the Doner so much. The closest thing you get to Istanbul in New Jersey. Phenomenal!!!”
“My kids ordered 2 portions of wings (mango habanero and Korean BBQ) and I got one of the drums (buffalo).. Kids loved their order - the mango habanero is going to be on repeat order it seems. Mine was too salty and almost inedible. The chicken was perfectly done though. Mixed bag, but my first time getting takeout from here and looks like it wont be the last.”

“Fantastic, such a convenient place with great late night hours!”
“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”!”
“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.”

“Best tacos in Jersey that I’ve had so far. We ordered chicken tacos Birria style and they were so good. The girl taking orders was really kind and helped us with our order and brought our food to the table. Their salsa verde is good too. $35 for 7 tacos and a jarrito.
Clean bathroom!”
“I sincerely have to say that this place has a truly unique and exquisite flavor. But it’s not just about the food the staff makes you feel like family. They welcome you, remember you, greet you warmly, and always make you feel at home.
I honestly give this place a 1000 out of 100! Excellent food, great prices, and amazing service.
If you’re looking for delicious food, great value, and outstanding hospitality, El Verdadero Rancho is the place to go. Highly recommended!”
“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.”

“Our server Ana was very attentive, sweet, and welcoming! Whenever we would need help/assistance, she and other staff would come right away or even without us asking! The restaurant also has many options and our family had a very enjoyable experience here, definitely will come back!”
“This past August, I had my daughter’s bridal shower at Sidebar. I made all my arrangements with Danny. It was a pleasure to work with him. Everything turned out great. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, the waiters and waitresses were very accommodating. Everyone had a great time. Don’t hesitate to have an event here!”
“I couldn’t believe how great the food was. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. In addition the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Andrew In Hackensack NJ was such a delight. He totally paid attention to my nut allergy and had the manager bring my meal out to ensure it was nut free. We are definitely going back! 😃”
“Everything about Maggiano's is awesome; nothing bad... my son comes here at least once a week.”

“I was impressed! We went through the drive-thru, and my partner had to wait a few minutes for his Quarter Pounder meal. So we pulled over in the parking spot.
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! 🍔🍟”
“Just picked up a whopper with cheese combo via their drive thru.
The building and surrounding property looked squeaky clean, the woman who served me was pleasant and courteous, and (while I’ll probably regret eating a fast food burger in a bit) the food was fresh, tasty, prepared and presented with care.
Good work.”
“The cleanest McDonald’s I’ve been to in a while. The team members were really polite not just with me but other customers. A wonderful team member, Jacky, took the time to answer my questions about the food I ordered and help me in my quest to procure limited edition seasonal items. Thank you.”

“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.”
“Best Pho I've tried! Super fresh, not overly salty and its very well balanced. Protion sizes are phenomenal as well! If you need some feel good Pho, this is definitely the place. They are lighting quick as well. They always quote 10-15 minutes and have ot out in 5 to 7.”
“Absolutely LOVE Parisi and have been going there forever. Try this .... Turkey, Provolone, well done bacon, lettuce & mayo on a wrap. Plus, they give you so much turkey you'll have lunch for 2 days. Their hot food tastes like you're eating in someone's home. Breakfast....diner quality and really SO GOOD. Ignore any negative reviews.”
“The #1 and the Chicken, Eggplant, or Meatball Parmigiana Sandwiches are literally perfect on every level. Expertly sliced, sized and also very fairly priced. The Daily Homemade soups are great as are the Daily Specials. If I lived closer I'd eat lunch here daily. Cash $$ only.”

“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!”
“Great food and service, went here for Christmas Eve dinner and the menu was superb!!! From the appetizer to the dessert, i would highly recommend going here.”
“Amazing food and huge portions! As you can tell from the picture, they really hook it up. The meat was cooked perfectly and super well-seasoned, paired with perfect rice and beans, and delicious sweet plantains. A huge standout was the salad too-it was incredibly fresh and came with a generous amount of avocado. It has that real authentic, home-cooked flavor. I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat”

“If you're in Hackensack and craving a burger, Marty’s is the spot. It's easily my favorite burger spot. The ingredients are always fresh, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the burgers are consistently delicious every single time. On top of that, the prices are more than fair, which is getting harder to find these days. Simply put: Marty's absolutely rules”
“GET. TO. THIS. TRUCK! For real, Jonathan will get you some amazing smash burgers! Complete with the Holy Grail sauce. It's so good that I wish I could buy a gallon to bring back to Minnesota with me! Jonathan was awesome, too. He took the time to shoot the breeze with me (clearly a tourist) and made it seem like listening to me was the most important thing he could do. If you see this truck, make the stop!”
“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.”
“Just found it on the way to our hotel when we stop at dominoes pizza ,so I just enter the restaurant and order burns road chutney paratha roll and mayo garlic roll and falooda for me and my husband. And don’t regret at all . Amazing food. And having authentic falooda after so long. I must say falooda was actually the hit better than Toronto. (We are visiting newyork from toronto.) very near by to our uncle’s home. So we will definitely stop by next visit to newyork for falooda for sure.”
“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!”
“Carvel cake decorator Carolyn truly did a wonderful job with the cake I ordered. I highly recommend ordering a birthday or any special occasion cake from this Carvel location and placing your trust in Carolyn. Not only did she craft a fantastic cake, but she also shows genuine kindness by calling customers to ensure they get exactly what they want for their cake.”
“went for drinks

“Hoy es nuestro aniversario and nothing better to indulge ourselves!!!-my wife and I had a great time at Rosa Mexico specially with Margaritas and Guacamole made by Kevin Quito at the River side Square Hackensack NJ”

“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!”
“Great place. Good food, good service. Overall very satisfied. I recommend coming here. The ramen had a good falvorful broth. Not too salty or too fatty. Noodles had a nice bite to them and the chachu had good flavor m love they had the combos with the ramen. Definitely worth the visit.”
“The girl there yesterday was super helpful! There is two passionfruit green tea drinks, one comes with toppings included and one doesn't! She said the QQ passionfruit tea already includes boba AND coconut jelly, and the other passionfruit tea doesn't have any toppings. So glad she informed me so I wasn't paying extra for drink with toppings I might not like!”
“I work in Hackensack and am something of a hot chocolate addict. I've bought my favorite beverage at many establishments but find Cafe Mannina has the secret to making it wonderful every time. 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.”
“Always great food. Despite being extremely busy and short-staffed on a weekend, the servers were very attentive and the food came out fast. We had galbi, bibimguksu, seafood tofu stew, and fried dumplings. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to have good, authentic Korean food.”
“Great Ecuadorian traditional food. Staff is great. Love going here and will continue. Highly recommend z”
“I've been to this restaurant on three occasions and have been satisfied each and every time. Food is fresh tasty consistent. Staff is friendly and accommodating”
“Absolutely amazing experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic Latin flavor. Every dish was prepared perfectly and tasted incredible. The service was just as amazing—everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. You can truly tell that they put love and care into both their food and their customers. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food and great Atmosphere ❤”

“I read the reviews before going, honestly some of them turned me off. However, when I went I was greeted by the nicest young lady ever and the service and food was fantastic. I would recommend The Coachdiner to anyone. The place is beautiful and the staff and food is amazing. Thanks Kim and Keisha, we are coming back”
“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.”
“Excelente servicio.!!!! Los empleados son muy profesionales, impecable servicio, y la comida deliciosa. Fascinada con los frijoles ?, el ? pollo mejor dicho todo, super limpio, pero lo mejor la simpatía de Marcela y el toque final, EL CAFECITO CHEVERE!! Súper recomendado!!!”
“We had chiccharones and goat stew. My Dominican friend said it was the best chicchones she ever ate. Another friend said the goat stew was excellent. I really recommend this place for flavorful food. The owner is so nice and made sure everything was good for us.”

“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.”

“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!
I can't wait to be back!”
“7th Street Burger was SO good! The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the fries were crispy and seasoned just right. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were really good. The food came out quickly, and the whole experience was great. Definitely a spot I’d come back to — 10/10!”
“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.”
“I came across this place on my way to the post office. I’ve eaten here 2x now. I love the vegan options. The flavorful samosas(2) that come with a dipping sauce that have a kick to it and are great to start with. The already made stews are served with rice or roti. I chose roti this time. It’s delicious either way. It’s best served hot so eat in the restaurant!
Service is always friendly and professional.”
