Restaurants in Hackensack

“The best macaroons. The crème brûlée and Ferrero rocher were my favs!”

“They Got Some Banging Empanadas And Some Good Milkshakes. They Also Have The Good Dominican Food Chimichurri, Mangu, Yaroa, Etc..”

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

“Really good food but please consider using real ham on the pizzas 🙏🏼 and not the mushy cubed stuff 😭 everything else is so good but this ham substitute stuff is always disappointing.”

“ambiance, quality of coffee and sandwiches, friendly barista, good location!”

“I recently moved to the area and Ive been on the hunt for the best food in the area - one of which was finding my new go to korean fried chicken place. This place did not disappoint and the high reviews left here are worth the hype. Ordered the spicy soy garlic + fries combo and it was deeeelicious. Fresh, hot, with the perfect amount of spice and the wings are bigger than what you'd get at a chain fried chicken restaurant. I also upgraded my fries to the truffle parmesean - truffle isnt as outstanding of a flavor but the parm was pretty good. The service is also so nice! Ill definitely be back to try their other food~”

“Great meal - drinks extraordinary. Definitely coming back.”

“Great staff and fast service. Super crispy chicken. I had the K-Chipotle rice bowl with an egg and it was tasty.😋
I’m definitely going back to try some other interesting menu items.”

“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.”

“Prince has got me hooked on their Loaded Nachos, they are hands down the best Taqueria in the area. The freshly made tortilla chips stay crispy all the way through.

The Short Rib Birria and Shrimp tacos are outstanding. Those pics didn't make it, so I'll make sure to post those for y'all to see next time. For now, check out them nachos. 😋😋😋😋😋”

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.”

“I had great time with my girlfriend. They have variety of food from k-bbq to sushi to seafood. Bingsu (shaved ice) also tastes good. Server 'Ana' was very friendly and helped us get meat as we wish. I highly recommend this place.”

“Amazing food and super friendly service.”

“We had Liva Mediterranean for a catering event and we were blown away. From the moment I called the restaurant until the delivery every step of the way was so smooth. They truly care about the customer experience. Their food was delicious. Everybody was happy. Highly recommend.”

“Delicious food and great service 😊”

“This is DA best hamburgers EVER!”

“First time every going here and we had a great experience. We only stopped for desert after our event at medieval times. Not sure what you will experience, but or waiter (Jil perhaps) was fantastic! Not only will we stop next time we are in the area, we will all for him.”

“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 used to work for Burger King in my teens and I’ve worked at many locations before. I used to take pride in assembling the burgers to peoples choices. I’ve ate at many different locations throughout my years and never received the same quality as when I used to be in that kitchen BUT AT THIS LOCATION, Lord. I am truly amazed at how well and accurate they got my order. You guys brought back a memory I forgot I had with how good this burger was. I came all the way to the reviews and I think that says a lot. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! next time I’m leaving a nice tip”

“I just wanted to apologize to the guy that works on Sunday morning at the first window. This was a few weeks ago in October of 2025. I was screaming and crying because I wanted the shake to be great like it always was by first in line. The guy went out of his way to help by even suggesting to make it in front of his so it comes out not soupy but I was so focused on being upset that I didn't hear what he was saying until after my dad told me. I appreciate his help and I feel really guilty on how I treated him. I suffer from severe anxiety, ocd, and autism spectrum so sometimes I get out of control but that was no excuse on how I treated him. I hope you all can forgive me here and I hope this guy reads this or someone at least tells him about this message but if not I understand. Thank you”

“I stopped in for a quick lunch while my car was being fixed and I only had a half hour to eat. I ordered a Value Meal with a McDouble, small French Fries, Chicken Nuggets and a small Coke. Everything was so fresh and nicely cooked. I was really impressed by the meal everything was sizzling hot including the fries that tasted right out of the fryer.\n\nThe service was impressive as well. The woman who took my order, came to the table with my food and a small plastic container of condiments and I thought this was very clever. You could pick what you needed and no waste.\n\nI was very impressed by both the food and service.”

“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”

“EXCELLENT SANDWICHES, GOOD COFFEE”

“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.”

“The reviews are all true . This is real deal Italian neighborhood food ! Homemade soups, cold sandwiches that don’t cut corners, hot subs done properly, liquor available, and genuinely good service from a family-run spot planted in one of New Jersey’s strongest Italian communities.

The power move is the steam table in the back. That’s where the nonna cooks whatever she felt like winning with that day.

Daily specials, rotating, well seasoned, zero shortcuts. I’ve tried several. They don’t miss EVER 🔥🔥

Daily specials change constantly and are posted on their website. Skip the trendy places pretending to do this. This one actually does”

“The best Pho in town.We thoroughly enjoyed our order, which included two bowls of pho, wonton soup, fried rice, and pork chops. Each dish was exceptionally delicious. Highly recommend!!!!!”

“Top notch cookie joint. We have one specific cookie we love. Had to drive in from PA so I ordered a 5lb tray of one cookie. They even had the tray in a box which made transport awesome. Thanks for having the best cookies on Plant earth. I wrapped the cookies up individually 97 of them and stuck in the freezer already. I am good for half a year plus. Thanks again and thanks for actually taking my order and having them ready. You guys ROCK!!!!”

“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.”

“Have been getting food from Late Night for years. Lucky they are local to us to get food when everyone else is closed in the area. The pizza is great but they also make other dishes. They are super nice and if able to customize an order they do it no problem. They usually have specialty slices Ed gets very creative making delicious combinations. My husband has reviewed you before but what prompted this review for me was the outstanding chicken francese slices Ed made for us last night. So so good! Omg truly amazing. Thank you!”

“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!”

“I tried this place for lunch and the sandwhiches here are great, fresh bread, well-dressed and cooked Halal meats... << It is so hard to find places that only serves Halal meats in Hackensack.

This place is truely a hidden gem in Hackensack for a quick bite for lunch. I will be coming here more often for lunch, as I would like to try other items on their menu.”

“En verdad en verdad Rancho Deli in Hackensack is legit. I had the pernil with yellow rice—tender, flavorful, and super satisfying. The house hot sauce is 🔥: tangy, spicy, and perfect on everything. Would definitely order again.”

“I highly recommend people try out their cupcakes, shortbread cookies, strawberry shortcake, and their cakes. Delicious and Satisfying💯😋😋You will get you moneys worth.”

“Great menu and quality food”

“I recommend everything. The atmosphere is comfortable. The food is awesome. The desserts are home made and delicious. The staff are very friendly. The price is right and the portion sizes are great.”

“great place to have a breakfast and dinner”

“Had a book club meet up with my friends and we definitely enjoyed ourselves. The music was nice but not too loud. The drinks were great, I ordered the milo latter with coffee and was delicious. I want to go back to try the coquito latte! I also had a arepa de yuca with cheese on top it was so good! The staff is awesome! Definitely coming back!”

“Very professional service great food”

“Will be coming back again, this is my second time ordering from Marty’s this week, first time ordering was truly an amazing experience, food was amazing, I ordered the double cheeseburger combo and the gave us a bunch of fries and the cheese for the fries being on the side was amazing, the people who work there are kind and generous.”

“Love their pizza. Just the right cheese to sauce ratio for me and dough tastes great. Prices are very reasonable considering prices for eating out these days. Went to both locations and found out the one in Ridgewood closed. Was disappointed but at least this location is still here.”

“Good food good service,good bartenders”

“Excelente comida y atención muy cordial!”

“Really good pizza that is traditional style but mixed with a little modern twist. Still feels like your local pizza shop but pizza these days needs to be really on points and this is one of the places. The owners name is Rob and he’s from the area, really cool guy. Highly recommend checking it out”

“Great Ecuadorian traditional food. Staff is great. Love going here and will continue. Highly recommend z”

“The name doesn’t tell you the reality of this place! The staff is lovely and they serve breakfast lunch and dinner in addition to being an ice cream shop. A wonderful place for a quick meal in the cutest little shop. It’s adorable. A true mom & pop hidden gem on Main Street. I love having breakfast & a coffee here.”

“Love this pizzeria, never a disappointment and my go to. ❤”

“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.”

“Never been until last month but got a beautiful Rum Cake for the MOM and some other treats for myself (pecan tort) will be going back asap for that pecan tort”

“If you want that sandwich you know Subway is the only fresh place to get it! My kids love going to this location especially because of the clean , nice environment and the attentive staff who are friendly and get it right how we like it.
Even when we pick up food to take home they always make sure it's made neatly and never leaking or exploding . This location is a a favorite quick lunch for my kids and family!”

“Thank you for a Fantastic Fathers Day Dinner. Highest Recommendation!!”

“Delicious Ecuadorian cuisine with great service. We shared the bistec encebollado plus the tortilla de verde and empanada de carne. Everything had the authentic flavor of Ecuador.”

“stopped in for a cappuccino and rice pudding, the ladies at the counter are wonderful and friendly. makes you feel like family. will definitely be stopping by for lunch.”

“The food is very good at this place A very quick easy meal”

“My husband and I live right down the street and always pass this place when driving home. We decided this morning to pop in. I love that's it's most likely family owned as we own a family owned business also. We love to give our business to small local businesses. We ordered the chicken and rice and beans and it was well seasoned and cooked. Very tasty. We will definitely be back to try another item off the menu.”

“Eating right now, and my soul is happy, the taste is amazing. Very well seasoned the portions are pretty big definitely ordering again. Was going to get four stars because the food is a little cold but it is below 21° outside so. The food is too good delicious”

“Have always been greeted by the most friendly staff. They are eager to explain menu options for those of us that don't know all the variables available. Best broth I've found yet on the area.”

“The açaí bowls are amazing and also the guy over here guides very well . Specially for new customers who don’t know anythIng he always suggest something new to try and it’s really amazing . One should try this place who is looking for some healthy stuffs”

“The Soy Garlic boneless chicken, is delicious. Their bulgogi house fried rice, was the first time I tried bulgogi 😋. I stop by for their smoothie bubble tea often. I'd recommend to anyone to visit if you're in the area.”

“Nice restaurant and good food”

“From the customer service, to the flavor of the drinks, to the speed of the time that they make my drinks, this place has truly exceeded my expectations. I love this place so much and every time I come, I never come out unsatisfied, ya’ll have to try this out!!!”

“The food is great.... the staff is amazing Best kept secret in Hackensack”

“Every time I come here the food is good, I haves introduced it to a couple of people and they all love it as well!! (Even the picky ones) I’ve done a couple of events and every single time the attention and service is maculate. I will most certainly keep coming here. Thank you mob staff and owners !!”

“All of their food is good here but the Oxtail Mac n Cheese beef patty here is absolutely mouthwatering and sensationally great. You've gotta come and get it. Don't mind the $12.99 price lol It's worth every penny and more. You'll crave it Everytime after tasting it. It's Oxtails and Mac n Cheese in a beef patty wrapped with cocobread. Pay no attention the the Carbs and calories either lol. Just make sure to exercise and enjoy! I don't even care about the beef patty anymore after eating this. Everytime going forward it's the oxtail Mac n Cheese beef patty for me.
Best Regards.
Grocksmooth!”

“Adonis is the greatest chief in the entire deli industry. great guy very kind and respectful and helpful made my sandwich with love and care amazing chicken cutlet The greatest chef of all time thank you Adonis.”

“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.”

“Todo delicioso y muy buena la atención”

“I noticed that the place is recently under new management and the quality is much much better than it used to be. The bagels and the pizza are delicious, the staff is super friendly and good prices. I highly recommend.”

“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.”

“Love this place , food, atmosphere staff location etc. What I don't like and so ny family and friends is the music is always too loud. I spoke about this before with no actions to resolve it.”

“Gracias Daisy por ser tan amable. Highly recommend”

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.”

“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.”

“This is DA best hamburgers EVER!”

“They Got Some Banging Empanadas And Some Good Milkshakes. They Also Have The Good Dominican Food Chimichurri, Mangu, Yaroa, Etc..”

“The best and most consistently great place we go for a special delicious meal.

They do have rules to keep things flowing like.

1. Must leave after 2 hours
2. No parties of 6 and no parties of 5 at night.

This helps keep the place flowing well.”

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

“The best macaroons. The crème brûlée and Ferrero rocher were my favs!”

“The food and service were great. Chicken and broccoli linguine alfredo is a must try, also their chicken wontons. Wings weren't as flavorful as I'd like, but still good, so was the sampler. Drinks were ok, not great.”

“ambiance, quality of coffee and sandwiches, friendly barista, good location!”

“Came here (after a quick Google search for Kosher food) the morning after a wedding in the area. Best culinary decision I’ve made all year. They will make you anything you want (within reason) even if not on the menu. I grew up in Texas not keeping kosher, and have been craving good Mexican food - something not common in NYC or on the kosher restaurant circuit. I asked for a breakfast burrito with relatively low expectations, given the above. They knocked it out of the park. Just like I remember, if not better. I guess I should not have been surprised given the chef is a veteran from Oaxaca. Fresh coffee, friendly service, and attention to detail - they even use Mexican-inspired ceramic mugs and plates. Run, don’t walk, here. I’m honestly considering having them cater my simchas in Brooklyn. It’s that good. This place is a gem.”

“This place was great, if you look at my profile it may see like I only leave good reviews but it’s because I usually only review if the place stood out and this place is one of them. Such a fun a delicious new twist on Indian food. The quality and quantity of the food was great for the price and their homemade mango lassi is delicious. Also got to speak with the owner briefly and he was very friendly. If you are craving Indian but want to try something a little different I would definitely check this place out”

“I was looking for a healthy but hearty meal after a long day of work and salad house hit it outta the park. It’s a newer place on Main Street I have been meaning to check out and it didn’t disappoint. I made my own salad bowl with salmon that was cooked PERFECTLY truly amazing. Everything was so flavorful I ended up not even using the dressing I picked it simply wasn’t needed in my opinion so now I have some sauce to make something at home with! It ended up being around $35+ but that’s because I got a lot of add on and honestly I don’t regret it at all. It was a treat yourself kinda tab lol. Everything was really fresh and the portions are HUGE so treat yourself to something here you won’t regret it.”

“Amazing coffee, amazing customer service, and amazing vibes — just like Hawaii! You have to come here and enjoy your morning coffee, especially now during the winter blues. They have great coffees, teas, and beautiful souvenirs.
Correct”

“I ordered the Smash Burger Pizza, it was insanely good 🤤. Every ingredient was delicious and perfectly balanced. The flavor was amazing from the first bite to the last. Honestly, one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!🍕🔥”

“I was recommended to this restaurant and I am happy I went . First of all is BYOB which I loved . The food, service and atmosphere were excellent . My mouth is still watering from their mofonguitos, I had the shrimp ones and the rabo mofongo . The morir soñando which I never had was like a dessert. Very tasty . I will definitely go back .”

“Hackensack spot solved our usual dinner argument problem. Got a bunch of different things nobody had to compromise on. Actually tasted fresh which surprised me honestly”

“Jersey Mike's supported the Ask A Resource event on my campus. Brittany was great to work with, and the subs were delicious! I recommend trying Jersey Mike’s!”

“I ordered a Honey Citrus Tea and got Mint Majesty instead. The staff never told me that they were out of the citrus tea but charged me for it as it was on the sticker. When I went back the next day to tell them the lady gave me attitude and tried to justify their actions.”
