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.”

“Absolutely delighted by the food and service,I ordered the bulgogi hot pot, and I can say that it’s true to its name. The hotpot stayed piping hot all the way through the meal. My sister ordered the seafood ramen, which was also delicious,the broth was rich and savory, with lots of big shrimp! The seafood tofu soup was also great!”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“Excellent food! Excellent service! We went this past Saturday and we were a party of 6. Everything everyone had was delicious. Great attentive service. Food came out fast. We absolutely love it! We have went other times before this one and it’s been good every time! Highly recommend”

“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!”

“By far some of the best service I’ve been encountered in a restaurant. Everything was perfect; food, atmosphere and the live band. I do want to circle back about the food - the menu is out of this world food off the charts. I highly recommend this establishment.”

“I have loved coming to Hibernia Diner over the years, and their service and food have always been amazing! Today when the owner offered my allergy kids safe cookies on the house. Pure joy!! Thank you!”

“My beautiful lady and I were there today this is one of my favorite staples in Rockaway. We went for the Breast cancer fundraiser today, and it was an absolute perfect turnout for a wonderful cause of someone in need. I absolutely love the staff there. Today we were greeted by Lisa and Rob. They served us right away and with a smile. Lisa is top notch, and Rob too. Later Ashley came in the evening shift, she’s great also and top notch as well. Bridget and George are awesome, perfect owners who treat their customers like family. Food is fantastic, and service as well. You make alot of great friends there, as alot of wonderful people go in and out of there. Very friendly atmosphere. Great place to watch all kinds of sports, phenomenal specials, and a fantastic patio area with a tv where you can relax and enjoy yourself. We had such a fantastic day. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend Mill Lane Tavern. You will not regret it! 😀👍”

“While it isn’t much to look at from the outside, their Mediterranean food is fantastic and authentic (not some version of what Americans think it should be), and the service is stellar. The platters are perfect for sharing so everyone can try different dishes. They became a favorite after the first visit.”

“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!”

“Thank you so much for honoring our Nurses during Nurses week! We appreciate you! The food was delicious 😋”

“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.”

“This is literally my fav spot on the planet. The burgers are top notch, the dry rub wings are phenomenal and the service is always with a smile! Keep up the good work, Gwen and crew!”

“I always like the burrito and i get to make it how i was fresh every time!”

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

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“Very nice and great food they are super friendly”

“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!!!!!! 😀👍”

“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.”

“Best bagels - ever! Must try. Highly recommend.”

“Muy buena atención y rica comida”

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

“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 :)”

“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.”

“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!”

“Been going for years super friendly owner and great food.”

“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!”

“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”

“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”

“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!”

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!”

“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!”

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

“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 ladies there were so sweet & kind ... I will bring all of my friends and family there so nice!�”

“marina did the best”

“Excellent food. Loved the options that were given and many choices to pick from. 10/10”

“Extensive menu, from roast beef to fish, chicken, corned beef and Turkey. It was perfectly prepared and delicious. I only left 4 stars because it’s not acceptable to have the bathrooms out of order.”

“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.”

“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!”
