“My frist time there all was good, but this time just Wow. The steak was very under cooked and very over seasoned. The amount of peper was enough for 4 steaks. The service was rushed. Got dinner before we finished the appetizers. The dessert tasted old. Not sure if I will give it another try ! Sad because the frist time I was amazed.Well tried it again and food and service was very good. Will try again and update it . Maybe last time just had wrong cook and serve“
“The food itself is very good. Ramen is excellent. Felt a bit rushed. Our appetizers came out and shortly after, our ramen bowls. We had two full appetizers on the table and our bowls. They need to do better with timing as far as when food is prepared and sent out from the kitchen. Another thing, we brought a bottle of wine and they do not have wine glasses. I’ve never experienced that before. We drank wine out of water glasses that look like beer glasses. Kinda cheap feeling.“
“Excellent Korean BBQ restaurant in a very unassuming spot. Looks much better from the inside. Great atmosphere and service, fresh food cooked at the table on typical gas grills. No above-table hutches but ventilation was good. Portions are not the most generous but good enough. Meats and sides were all high quality. Easily accessible and free parking in the back of the building.Kid-friendliness: If your kids love meats, they'll love the grill at the table.“

“I've found several decent BBQ places closer to me in Rockland and Bergen, but Smoke Shack is on another level. Get the brisket and ribs with sauce on the side, taste them straight up, and recognize what you're dealing with here: some of the best BBQ in the area -- unquestionably the best I've encountered -- and if it seems too far, let me assure you, it's worth the trip. Just got back from a repeat visit.Vegetarian options: Their Beyond Burger is "almost as good as yours", according to my suddenly very polite wife.“
“If you don’t want to drive all the way to Newark for authentic Portuguese food, Tino’s is the place! The shrimp garlic is soooo good. Beef ribs, clams in garlic hit the spot. I’ve tried Portugalo BBQ and they don’t compare. If you want real, delicious Portuguese authentic flavors, go straight to Tinos BBQ & Grill.“
“This is a small place with tons of charm. They have a few tables inside to eat as well as some outside. The food is season well. You can actually taste the firewood they use. My favorite by far was the season paella. They have a good variety of empanadas. I had beef and Buffalo chicken. They both were good with enough meat inside. You get a good amount of food. The staff is so friendly. I can wait to come back and try other dishes.“
“The overall feel and ambiance of this restaurant is definitely Korean-vibes. However, the cost of the food is beginning to really climb over these last handful of years. I have gone to this restaurant a bunch of times prior, and most especially prior to 2020. Yet, noticeably, the cost is rising. Ample parking, though. Quality well cooked/home-cooked Korean food and prompt service. Tasty!“
