    This place is amazing. How weird they bake and cheeseburger and a basket fries.The basket or fries was humongous. Imagine it was a Thursday, weekday lunchtime was packed.That is testament to how good this place is support your local flavor come down to newark for local grindz

    All-Star bacon burger with fries. Bomb!

    This place has always been a staple! Want a local spot for a good burger? Look no further! Thank You All Star for being consistent with that.

    All star cheeseburger
    Annabelle R.

    I was craving a burger this past Saturday, and this place hit the spot. Got the all star cheeseburger, with no mustard and added grilled onions, and it was much tastier than it looked. Juicy beef patty, a thick layer of melted cheese, fresh veggies, and condiments accurate to my customizations. It was delightful and filling. Staff was friendly, the restaurant setting was clean and simple with ample seating available, and parking was easy in the dedicated parking lot.

    Linguicia, burnt
    Robert P.

    Burger was ok. Linguicia sandwich was burnt and tasteless. Not sure why so highly rated.

    Yes, this is the chili cheese dog and the hot dog is in there... somewhere... underneath the mountain of chili!

    Can't help it - I have such affection for old-timey independent burger joints that have withstood the test of time. All Star Burgers is the epitome of a "greasy spoon" diner but clearly maintains a following and wouldn't be here all of these decades later if their food wasn't on point. Yes, it clearly seemed like it had seen better years, but I ordered a simple chili cheese dog and was taken aback by the monster that arrived at my table. Absolutely SMOTHERED in chili, I defy anyone to pick this one up! This dog is definitely a fork and knife endeavor. All that said, was it great? Well, it was good but admittedly, the chili tasted a bit like classic canned chili with beans and the hot dog was good but not spectacular. Still, service was super nice, and again, just in terms of the AMOUNT of food you get, I was impressed. I have to close by noting that I left the restaurant completely full and satisfied, but as I got closer to the car, I definitely had this inner dialogue of "WTF did I just do to myself"! Hahahahaha

    Pancakes

    We came here for lunch today, wanting an American styled brunch. This was exactly what we got. The restaurant is independently located in the corner of a street in the City of Newark. The parking spots around the restaurant sorta goes in a circle surrounding the restaurant which is quite nice and convenient. My wife and I ordered: Two edger breakfast, all star bacon cheeseburger, and some pancakes. They didn't taste anything out of the ordinary but it's this exact makings of the food that I love. It's a local American joint and all of the food tasted great but nothing different then another mom and pop spot around town. What can I say, a solid 4 out of 5 from me. Everyone was friendly, but the inside is definitely due for a refreshed look. The furniture looks dated and it serves purely for utility purposes. Once you get inside, you'll know exactly what I mean. They do also serve ice cream there so it is nice to see a variance of items being offered. How All Star Burgers can improve is to maybe look into offering unique burgers that are different then their decades old menu to pour some more life into the restaurant. It's at a great location and I can see people that live here see it as a great local diner. That being said I also see the potential for this restaurant to do some much more in today's world if adjustments are made correctly.

    Allstar Bacon Cheeseburger & Allstar cheeseburger + "Box of Fries"
    Rachel L.

    Juicy, greasy, flavorful burgers that keep you wanting more! Definitely one of the best beef burgers in the area, although on the pricier side. My allstar cheeseburger was around $8.50 and the allstar bacon cheeseburger was around $9.75. Expensive for "fast food" but the quality was great, and it was super delicious. I enjoyed the fries too; they were crispy with the perfect amount of pillowy potato inside. Great w/ siracha or their house sauce. Old school diner vibes here all the way! I hope they never change that! Nice workers but minimal service.

    Combo Allstar Cheeseburger with grilled onions
    Danielle V.

    My boyfriend finally brought me here after him talking about how good the food is here countless times. I must say, I was NOT disappointed. I ordered a cheeseburger with grilled onions. The burger was pretty big and definitely juicy! I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu.

    Best fries
    Eva L.

    Really good fries. Crispy outside, soft inside. Somehow the inside of the fries was not dense and surpri not as oily as you would expect French fries to be. Used their special sauce for dipping. Special sauce is a cross between thousand island dressing and mayo ketchup. Generous portion, too. Good size burger. I got the cheese burger. It takes like a burger you would make at a home at a Summer backyard BBQ. Came with soft buns, tomato slices, mayo, and lettuce. Got it without onions and mustard. They have a condiment corner. Free soda refills. They also serve breakfast all day. For dessert, the have ice cream and cheesecake. The menu also has tuna melt, pastrami, Philly cheesesteak, fish burger, hotdog and chili They also serve veggie omelet. By 7:00 pm, the place was full. Reasonably priced especially the combo meals. Family owned with the owners actually working a the restaurant. Will try the breakfast next time and the onion rings.

    BLT
    Jessi B.

    I love this place. It has one of the best BLT I have ever had! I ordered to go it was very quick and efficient was super busy when I went in the line were short. The price is super affordable $9 for the BLT. Next time I think I'll try the burger and onion rings because it also looked really good .

    It lasted 3 seconds
    Rafael D.

    What a true hidden gem. The guy at the counter had the energy that he owned the place, and maybe he does! I was getting a smog check (my normal spot) and finally I decided to get a burger. Far surpassed any expectations I had (which were moderate) but absolutely delivered a great meal and great experience Which is awesome to see from a small business down the road from me in Newark. Go here now

Crispy chicken + gochujang honey + brioche + a fried egg? Whoever came up with this understood the assignment. My mom got the Shrimp Po' Boy, and my nephew went for the BLT. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked better than the last thing. The umami fries deserve their own paragraph because we kept ordering them. And ordering them again. And then somehow ordering them AGAIN. At some point I think the fries just became part of the family. We also tried the deviled eggs with tobiko, which were SO good! But let's talk about the drinks because this is where things got dangerous. Our server Sam was AMAZING. He was attentive without hovering, knew the menu, and gave us recommendations that were genuinely spot-on. We trusted him completely by the end of the meal, which is how we ended up trying several cocktails. My favorite was the Low rider because I'm a mezcal girly and the espresso martini was especially good definitely one of the better ones I've had. I loved the different ingredients they use, including Ola Coffee, which gave it something a little different. And then Sam recommended the whiskey butter cake. That cake was the perfect ending. Every recommendation he gave us was a hit, so at this point I would probably let Sam plan my entire brunch menu. We had such a fun family brunch and genuinely left talking about how much we enjoyed everything. Great food, great cocktails, great service, and a staff member who clearly knows how to make people have a good time. The ambiance was also such a vibe. The interior is really cute and we got seated in a booth, which made it feel extra cozy and perfect for hanging out and enjoying brunch. I could totally see this being a great spot for family brunch, drinks with friends, or even a cute date. It has that kind of atmosphere where you can dress it up a little or keep it casual and still feel right at home. 10/10 would brunch here again.

We tried the loco moco and chicken and waffles instead. Both were good and portions are average sized. Usually we can't finish brunch between the 2 of us but this was easily consumed with no leftovers. The chicken and waffles came with matcha butter which was a nice touch. Overall a safe choice for brunch and I'm interested in coming back to try some of their lunch/dinner options!

They were attentive and made sure our water glasses were always full. The interior is beautiful with all of the plants. Their goat empanadas are popular for a reason, the aroma was amazing when it was served to our table. I really enjoyed it as an appetizer and the sauce paired well. The sautéed green beans with fish sauce aioli were umami heaven. It was just as delicious as I remembered, when I visited Girl & The Goat in Chicago a few years ago. The sticky pork shank was tender and fell right off the bone. I made lettuce wraps with the pork, pickled veggies, and sauces provided - wow, everything tasted so delicious! We also ordered the skirt steak to share, which was good, but a bit chewy. I definitely recommend getting the pork shank. Overall, Valley Goat has unique and tasty dishes that I don't think I can find elsewhere around South Bay.

I was an even bigger fan of the Thai side of the menu, starting with the Papaya Salad, a refreshing, crunchy mixture of shredded papaya, green beans, tomatoes, and crushed peanut in a spicy, sweet, acidic dressing made of fish sauce and lime. For our mains, the Northern Thai Khao Soi was a noodle soup made of egg noodles and chicken breast strips in a rich coconut curry, topped with crispy egg noodles, pickled cabbage, and fried shallots. From the Chef's Special menu, the Tom Yum Crab Omelet was a mound of jasmine rice enveloped with an egg omelet, topped with chunks of crab, mushrooms, and a creamy tom yum sauce; and my favorite dish was the Roti Gai Tod, a hearty combination of breaded chicken thigh, roti (a flaky flatbread), cucumber salad, jasmine rice, and a mild but flavorful yellow curry sauce on the side.

Ube Pancake (side order)- one thick ube pancake that turned out dry when eaten with syrup. Never order anything that is not Thai on the menu. They should add Thai Tea pancakes to their menu with housemade Thai Tea syrup to make it more fusion. Pad Kee Mao w/ Chicken- I regret ordering this because the string beans were half raw, the tofu was dry, and the dish was a bit spicy. I should've ordered Pad Thai or Ka-Pow Short Rib Benedict instead. Thai Tea- strong and sweet, not too watery. It was less crowded when we arrived at 10 am on the weekend.

Definitely a family style dinner, order multiple things to try! Made a reservation couple weeks in advance for a week night dinner for 2. Celebrated our anniversary and couldn't be more happy we came to Ethel's Fancy. Service was great, everyone was friendly and explained the menu and process. Helped making some personal recommendations and the food came out quickly. The only dish that came out very slowly was the dessert, we did wait about 25 - 30 minutes just for the softserve, but all other dishes came out in a moderate time. Rouge de Bordeaux Milk Bread, comes with cultured amazake butter and some salt. Comes out super warm, puffy, and soft. Very nice pull and the butter is super decadent. Very great take on a japanese shokupan, we were hesitant at first, but it makes for a good appetizer 5:5 Warm Sesame Pancakes were like those mini sesame mochi pancakes at chinese dim sum, but the texture was slightly airy. The sauce to accompany it was unlike anything i've had, smoked trout, avocado and yuzu. The avocado was not over powering and the cream on top was whipped. Amazing pairing. 5/5 Sashimi of Kanpachi, japanese cucumber salad as the base and dressing with the kanpachi sashimi. I will say this was the weakest dish of the night. While still good, it was a bit too tart, it overpowered the other natural flavors. Fish was still very good, tender and not fishy, but again, over powered but all the tartness in the dish. 3/5 Yellowfin Tuna on sushi rice - this was a great shareable plate of upscale poke. The tuna was great, no fishy taste, perfectly seasoned and the smoked kira had an amazing pop of flavor. Very rich and decadent dish, absolutely loved the harmony of a slight smokey flavor to the nice rich, umami savoriness. 5/5 Crispy Caledonian Prawns - Absolute star of the night. We could not stop talking about these prawns. Big plump prawns, fried perfectly, where the prawn itself was not dry but the shell had a shatteringly crispy exterior definitely slightly coated with a starch to give it a nice crunch. The chili ramp sunomono was a great touch, not spicy at all but added a great touch of flavor that complimented the crispy prawns. Could devour plates of these! 6/5! Sword-Fish Katsu Style - A great take with sword fish, flakey but not overcooked, great thin crispy katsu. Accompanied by kumquat and cauliflower, helps cut down the greasiness. The sauce with it was a buttery tart sauce. This was a lot better where the tartness helped the fried fish. It was like eating a fried fish burger without the buns. I really enjoyed this one. 5/5 Lastly we ordered a softserve with peaches, shokupan croutons and a caramel dressing. We had to wait about 25 minutes just for the small softserve so we were a bit surprised as other dishes came out relatively quickly or in an orderly fashion. It still tasted great as a little small dessert but definitely was surprised by how long it took. 3/5 Overall, we were very happy with our experience at Ethel's and it definitely lives up to the standard it sets. I can't wait for other new dishes to try and come back in the future.

    I came to this restaurant two days in a row because I really enjoyed my first experience…read more Unfortunately, my second visit was noticeably different, and it really highlighted one of the biggest challenges for any restaurant: consistency. First Visit - Nearly 5 Stars On my first visit, I ordered: * Beet Poke * Mushroom Bao * Kale Caesar Salad with Falafel The beet poke was fantastic. It was fresh, light, and packed with seaweed, with a delicious dressing that brought everything together. There were great textures and flavors, and I would have happily ordered it again. The mushroom bao was another standout. The mushroom was perfectly fried, tucked inside a soft, fluffy bao, and topped with a tangy slaw. Great combination of crispy, soft, savory, and acidic. The kale Caesar salad was also delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. At this point, I was thinking 5 stars and was excited enough to come back the very next day. Second Visit - A Different Experience I ordered: * Beet Poke * Mushroom Bao * Kale Caesar Salad * Potato Pizza Unfortunately, things were much more inconsistent. The beet poke was probably the biggest disappointment. There was barely any seaweed, very little textural contrast, and the dressing tasted completely different from the day before. It was also barely dressed. If this had been my first experience with the dish, I honestly would not have ordered it again. The mushroom bao was still good, but it didn't taste the same as the previous day. The slaw was noticeably spicy this time, whereas it hadn't been spicy at all on my first visit. It made me wonder if there were different chefs or if the recipes/preparations simply weren't being followed consistently. The kale Caesar was the one dish that remained consistent, still delicious on day two. The potato pizza was underwhelming and definitely something I wouldn't order again. The flavor combo wasn't working with me. We also got the gluten free crust which was not great. Almost more of a cracker than a pizza crust. The Verdict: If I were reviewing this restaurant based only on my first visit, I would have given it 5 stars. The food was fresh, creative, flavorful, and genuinely memorable. But after coming back the very next day and having several dishes taste noticeably different, I had to take a few stars away. I'm not sure if there were different chefs, different prep, or something else going on behind the scenes, but consistency is such a key part of a great restaurant experience, especially when you're paying restaurant prices. When a dish is fantastic one day and just okay the next, it's hard to know what experience you're actually going to get. The ambience is great, and while the service was friendly, it was also a bit slow. Overall, I still see the potential here, and my first visit was genuinely excellent. I just wish the second visit had lived up to it.

    I don't eat Austrian food, so it was good to try it out here!…read more I came with a group of friends for a weekend lunch and there was no wait. I got the pork blade chop for my entree and it was so good! The portion was huge as well, and I wasn't expecting that. My friend got the steak and fries, apparently the fries are very well done -- crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Service was friendly and quick. Ambiance feels cozy but also fancy as well.

    First visit to NASCHMARKT in Palo Alto was with Mom on the evening of Saturday, June 27, 2026, to…read morecelebrate her great news and clean bill of health from her urgent care appointment. I had already bookmarked this Austrian spot on my watchlist, and Mom readily agreed to go here after seeing their menu and Yelp photos of their SALZBURGER NOCKERL. NASCHMARKT Palo Alto is one of the trio of Austrian restaurants "coined after the largest open-air market in Vienna." Located off of bustling California Avenue, the eatery is on the quiet side of Birch Street, conveniently located across the street from a public parking lot. The venue includes distinct dining areas, offering both indoor and outdoor patio dining, along with a full bar and counter seating. The interior features a warm, cozy, yet refined European bistro feel. According to their website, NASCHMARKT "offers a unique culinary experience infusing California's flavors with Austrian kitchen delectability." They feature classic items like HOMEMADE PRETZEL ($16), SMOKED PORK BRATWURST ($17), CLASSIC WIENER SCHNITZEL (Pork Cutlet $36, Chicken Cutlet$36, Veal Cutlet $46), HUNGARIAN BEEF GOULASH ($44), alongside desserts like APPLE STRUDEL ($16) and SACHER TORTE ($16). Below are what we ordered for dinner: WATERMELON VELVET ($20) - Mom enjoyed this sophisticated, refreshing cocktail that blends muddled watermelon with a smooth, complex finish and egg white foam topping. GOAT CHEESE PURSE SALAD ($16) - A warm, creamy goat cheese-stuffed pastry "purse" set atop fresh mixed baby greens made for great presentation. The touch of rosemary, drizzle of honey, and savoury balsamic vinegar reduction combined well as flavour accents and with the added textures from the poached apples and crunch from the walnuts. BEET SALAD ($18) - This was a refreshing starter featuring a blend of fresh greens, fruit, pistachios, and goat cheese. It was the preferred salad of the two that we ordered. CLASSIC WIENER SCHNITZEL Pork Cutlet ($36) - This was Mom's order. She substituted the Austrian potato salad with Seasonal Vegetables. Pounded remarkably thin, coated in fine breadcrumbs and pan-fried to a brilliantly golden, exceptionally crispy crust, the tender pork cutlet was light and delicate rather than heavy or greasy. The accompanying lingonberry sauce offered a tart and sweet fruit contrast to the savoury pork. DELISH!! JAGER SCHNITZEL ($40) - Because I'm a saucy girl, I went with this schnitzel with the mushroom cream sauce and it did not disappoint. BEST jager schnitzel and YUMMIEST spätzle that I ever had...and that says A LOT because before this day, I was not a fan of the egg pasta dish. The lingonberry sauce with this schnitzel was also very good! Next time (yes, I will return!), I will ask if I can have the schnitzel crusted and fried like the classic version to enjoy with the delectable mushroom and lingonberry sauces - ooh, yeahhhhhh!! SALZBURGER NOCKERL ($16) - Mom got her soufflé craving satisfied from this fluffy, cloud-like vanilla egg-white baked dessert. The light, airy, and ethereal soufflé, sitting atop a sweet-tart blueberry compote, rose high to a delicate, golden exterior and a meltingly soft interior. We replaced the vanilla bean ice cream with the light and refreshing strawberry sorbet. This was an A++ dish!! Nehir, affectionately also known as Mia, was our superb waitress. She was extremely friendly, informative, and super accommodating - all of our special requests were happily granted with a warm smile. After learning that we were celebrating Mom's wonderful health report, Nehir/Mia served one of our two orders of SALZBURGER NOCKERL on the house. Such a sweetheart she was. We appreciated her so much that we gave her tight hugs before we left. What an amazing first impression we had from our most enjoyable and unforgettable dining experience at NASCHMARKT Palo Alto. I highly recommend this place and can't wait for my next visit!!
