Restaurants in Rockaway

“Beautiful decor on the inside. Restaurant gets busy so make reservation just in case! Had dinner Monday night and Ashley was amazing. The sake warrior is like a limey summer refresher. Just with a little twist. Really good! Shrimp dumplings are so bomb, as well as the sesame chicken and glass noodle. Great service.”

“I had a fantastic experience at HANCOOK K-BBQ & TOFU SOUP. The Korean food here was surprisingly good, with authentic flavors and great execution. I especially enjoyed the 돌솥비빔밥 (dolsot bibimbap)—served piping hot and full of flavor.

The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, adding a personal warmth to the entire dining experience. It’s clear they take pride in their food and service.

Whether you're a fan of Korean cuisine or just trying it for the first time, HANCOOK is a hidden gem worth visiting. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Best breakfast in NJ! Think of a cooking show, with 3 artistic, culinary experts competing to design the most amazing breakfast creation, and to win a 1st place ribbon!!! They have every breakfast food, ingredient and garnish in front of them, and Go! Hands off!!! Step back!!! ??? These amazing winning dishes are what Missy serves to everyone, everyday! Fantastic breakfast specials! 5 stars are not enough!”

“Service and food were fantastic…we will be back again. Recommend to everyone I know”

“The Original M&S Pizza is our favorite Pizza play and has been for over 30 years!!!! Great food, always done right, and if you have any issues - the guys will always take care of you no matter what. You can tell they take pride in their food and their reputation, Which is Topps in my book. ?????? ? The best around!”

“we at Lennon's House ,have a special place for our group meetings and its Anthony's! WE EVEN BUY PIES FOR THE LOCAL POLICE STATION & AND THEY SAY it's their favorite! We love the spinach soup ! Eggplant franchise is amazing! All the pizza is so fresh ,whatever they make goes because it's a hot spot and as soon as they make it , it goes ! We Love Anthony's!”

“I recently visited Charley’s Cheesesteaks and had their Philly cheesesteak- it was beyond awesome! The steak was tender and perfectly seasoned, paired with melted cheese that elevated the flavor. The bread was fresh and soft, holding everything together without being too heavy. Every bite was a burst of flavor, and you could tell the ingredients were top-notch. The portion size was satisfying. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience even better. If you're a cheesesteak lover, Charley’s is a must-try! I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu.”

“love their flavors. this is high quality artisanal gelato. it's the best in miles, by far.”

“Delicious ice cream. Super cool combos. Staff is incredibly nice too. Large clean area to enjoy your treat. 5 stars all around.”

“Customer service is exceptional! BUT I would keep going back for their Cinnabon anyway. They are the best Ive ever had. The cinnamon was perfectly dispersed which helped keep the bun moist and gooey all the way through. Did you ever get one that's dry around the center? Not here! They are perfect. The guy at the counter was full of life and positive energy. What a surprisingly exceptional experience. Ive had worse dining at a 5 star restaurant!”

“They catered our party this weekend and did a fantastic job! Lou is great to work with, the food was delicious and the server was on point! Definitely recommend!”

“This was our favorite restaurant for years when we lived in NJ. We were in area last week (after 15 years). WOW - the menu, the food, the cocktails, the service and effort put into everything is still FABULOUS! Our dinner on Friday was so good, we ate there again on Saturday night. Thank you Dan and your entire team.”

“I love Mr. Donkey! Friendly service and GREAT food.”

“Great food great people! Been going here since I was a kid!”

“Had to check my receipt to make sure it was only 6.99. The Lamb and chicken Gyro are the first time months I felt like I got what I paid for. Guys at the counter were excellent service as well.”

“Great food. So far the best colombian food I ate in NJ.”

“The cake was amazing! So happy with how it came out also very happy with the customer service. Thank you for everything!”

“Thank you so much for the delicious gluten-free carrot cake for my daughters birthday, Carrot cake is her favorite and she hasn’t had it in years due to food sensitivities she absolutely loved it as did our guests.”

“Sandwiches are delicious. So many varieties and all scrumptious. Great value for the price!”

“Just tried this place out to see if the high rating was real or not. The real reason is we hoped the positive reviews were true. We got tacos with rice and beans. Simple dish, but it's smell and taste were through the roof perfection. Three warm savory corn tortillas for each and each delectable. It reminded me of the best Mexican street food, only better, I had a seat! The staff is basically all family and THAT alone says something about the care behind every dish.”

“Had a great time tonight having dinner with a friend of mine. Phenomenal chicken salad grilled with balsamic dressing and also the amazing homemade chili. Great place, awesome service, everything homemade and delicious. Such awesome service, and highly recommend for anyone to come and eat if you’re in Rockaway. Love this place!!!!!! 😀👍”

“First time going to Adam’s, it was such a great place! Me and my friends had an awesome time listening to the live band and playing our tunes on the jukebox! Definitely recommend this place :)”

“Great place. Food is delicious and staff is friendly and attentive.”

“We had my daughter's sweet 16 catered by RJ's. The food was absolutely delicious, I mean all of it. There wasn't one dish that wasn't amazing. Everyone at the party raced about the food. I highly recommend RJ's to cater your party”

“Jake was so sweet and amazing at the register, but the cooks kept messing up everyone's orders including mine. When the food is done correctly, it is amazing and tasty, but on a Saturday night, there were two new cooks who did not listen to anyone. Everyone was getting mad and they were making the food in the wrong order. I talked to the manager that night, and the cooks would not listen to her. Poor Jake was taking all the heat for the cooks' mistakes.”

“Lugar encantador con buen servicio y deliciosa cómoda mexicana .”

“Great sandwiches and great prices.......I eat there 3 times a week and love the daily specials.......friendly staff”

“Even tho green pond road dunkin is down the street I drive 10 mins in the other direction for this DD. The service is amazing, their coffee IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and fresh. 11/10”

“Decided to try before hitting a movie right when they opened. Helpful, friendly staff. Ordered the basic sandwich since it is closest to my favorite chik-fil-a. Nice crispy filet, very moist and tender, enjoyed very much. Not as much spices in the breading so if you like it more plain this is your sandwich. Pickles a bit thicker and good taste, very good. Nice soft bun. Really liked the fries, similar to five guys but thinner and they have great spice options, I chose the rosemary black pepper fries. Sauces were really good too, the signature is just like chik-fil-a, also really liked the Korean BBQ and Buffalo. Would definitely return nice job!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can't say enough good things about Riviera Maya Mexican in Rockaway! This place has quickly become a favorite stop for me and my fellow soldiers during our drill weekends. The food is consistently fresh and absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options that never disappoint.

The service is always fast and friendly, making us feel right at home every time we visit. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure we have a great experience, which is truly appreciated, especially when we come in with a group of about a dozen.

If you're looking for a fantastic meal in a welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Riviera Maya Mexican. Highly recommend!”

“February 14th, Valentine’s Day and people are leaving this place. 2 chefs working only. A lot of people and waiting time is about an hour. So disappointing”

“Had a problem with my burger that the lead manager came over and fixed promptly, but the bespectacled man who took our order was passive-aggressive and very condescending. According to our receipt, apparently the man's name was Lorenzo. In the first place, Lorenzo refused to even take my order until my fiancé (who was with me) ordered her food first. The reason Lorenzo gave for this was simply an insistence on "ladies first!" While Lorenzo had a point about this being good manners and proper etiquette, for him to be as adamant and imposing about it was rude, inappropriate and uncalled-for in the context of a customer service experience. Not only this, but every time I politely asked him a question about if a certain condiment had been placed on my order or not, he would reply "You already said that" in an extremely passive-aggressive manner if I managed to accidentally repeat myself. Lorenzo's whole attitude made it seem like he was trying to make me look as bad as he possibly could in front of my woman, which makes me wonder if perhaps it was a lame- brained attempt to steal someone else's lady. Apparently, he felt that I needed to be "put in my place", when I in fact did nothing to deserve this treatment. All I did was initiate was a simple business transaction. This whole encounter made me feel like a victim of reverse racism, due to the fact the cashier in question was black and he was acting like he was under the impression that white people owe him something besides the money they pay for their food at this location. And if not reverse racism, then I am accusing Lorenzo of blatant gender-on-gender misandry.”

“Rockaway Auntie Anne’s team helped cater my work event and it came out amazing! Their attention to detail and hospitality, going above and beyond made the day that much better! Will definitely order again for future events!”

“Everything we have ever bought has been delicious!”

“Muldoon's has great atmosphere, great service and outstanding foods! Had lunch with a group of friends and ended up there again for dinner. Excellent both times!”

“Excellent! This deli is great, A+, bright and clean. Anon is incredibly hard working 7 days a week. Check it out find something yummy. 3 1/2 mi. North of 80 on Rt.513. Go do some hiking n biking and check it out!”

“My favorite sit down Chinese restaurant.I normally get the General Tso's lunch combo for ~$10 and I've never been disappointed. I'm told that the sushi is good here too.”

“The best Chinese restaurant this side of the Mississippi. Been eating here since I was a kid, but I have since left the area. When I visit my family, we get China Garden because they know how I miss this food. It has only gotten better and better over the years. I never leave reviews, but wanted to share my love for this place. ❤️”

“The best pizza in town Love this place. Authentic pizza and even custom made. It’s simply perfect 👍”

“THE FOOD IS AMAZING HERE. YOU HAVE TO TRY THEIR BURGERS AND STEAKS. NOTHING BEATS IT. THE WORKERS ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND VERY GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO. AND THE MANAGER (WHOS NAME IS ROB) IS THE MOST COMPETENT AND MOST FRIENDLY BOSS THAT I HAVE EVER MET. THIS PLACE IS WORTH GOING TOO.”

“My only negative is I had to travel 25 minutes to get this AWESOME food. A ton of selections. Bought 10 sandwiches and fries and wound up freezing some for later. PLEASE open again in my area, Passaic County!!!”

“Delicioso 😋 and very clean friendly staff”

“Everything about this experience was wonderful! This was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had in a LONG time. Unfortunately, I inhaled my food before I thought to take a picture of it. Just believe me when I say it looked appealing and tasted great!”
