Huge fan of burgers/smashburgers so was extremely excited to try. Staff was friendly, establishment was clean and bright and the service was quick Hausburger: nice soft bun paired with a flavorful patty that was not overwhelmed by their Haus sauce. BigHaus: great burger with generous toppings, all combined really well for the perfect sandwich. Bacon and caramalezied onions were French fries: nice, thick and crispy. Can't complain Onion rings: crispy and fresh but seemed to be overpriced... 6 onion rings for $4.50 seemed to be a bit excessed... almost $1 each

I'll definitely be back to try their disco fries. While we enjoyed this trip, I think I'll definitely come back to try their burgers too.

Any old-timers out there remember when this was The Nutley Pub? (As one Yelper wrote, "Not the…read moreclassiest bar but..." - which perfectly summed up the last place.) Now going strong for well over a decade (?!) - Cowan's is classy and cool and leans into its strengths. Easily the hippest and most-happening spot in Nutley (and the surrounding towns) for the 'mature crowd' that's probably more interested in mash and hops and wort than getting hammered and making bad decisions at last call. The (ever rotating) beers on tap are stellar. The selection of bottles (of the harder stuff) on the picturesque back bar are eye-catching (even if I never heard of half of them). (After a few visits I still haven't tried the food. One of these days I'll get around to that, I promise.) Recommended, for sure.

Jim Dandy's 102 Park Ave…read more Rutherford, NJ 07070 Mango Habanero Wings Smoked Brisket Full Rack of Ribs Bird In Hand Smoked Pork I randomly found out across this barbecue restaurant as I walked along the main strip. Having no knowledge of this location, my curiosity led me inside. Jose, the manager, told me the chef prepares a homemade barbecue sauce, which has been a family secret recipe for over 30 years. Jose also brought to my attention a really great deal offered on Tuesdays: full rack of ribs for the cost of a half rack! He gave me a free sample of the secret sauce. That spoon size taste went a long way as I was immediately hooked by its flavor and tanginess. With the exception of the wings, I tried the sauce on all of their killer meats! The tender, juicy brisket melted in my mouth. The pork ribs fell right off the bone. My personal favorite was the bird in hand. This half chicken made me feel like I was in dining at Medieval Times in Lyndhurst! The only thing missing was a tournament with gladiators grappling in a colosseum! Between the tasty meats, strictly confidential house made barbecue sauce, and the excellent service from the manager and the servers, I was very content and my crave for barbecue has been happily fulfilled! #jimdandys #killermeats #barbecue #MangoHabanero #smokedbrisket #rackofribs #pulledpork #barbecuechicken

Jim Dandy's is a laid-back BBQ spot in Rutherford that delivers solid comfort food in a cozy,…read moreno-fuss setting. The ambiance is casual and welcoming-- It's not fancy, but that's part of its charm. The staff seem friendly and attentive. The food is hearty and flavorful, especially the wings! The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender. However, our only drawback was the heavy hand with the BBQ sauce--it overwhelmed the smoky flavor of the meat. If you like your ribs super saucy and sloppy, you'll probably love them, but it might be too much for those who prefer a more balanced bite. It's BYOB, so bring your favorite bottle--because ribs taste better with a drink in hand and no corkage fee in sight, right?

We ordered take out from this restaurant. This restaurant serves Romanian food (although I don't…read morethink we ordered anything that was traditionally Romanian). We ordered the fried Asiago cheese as an appetizer. It was crispy but had no flavor. I wish it came with a sauce or something (like a sweet drizzle would have made it better). We also tried two sandwiches, the beef brisket and cheesesteak sandwiches. The beef brisket was good, the sauce was a little sweet, and the beef wasn't too dry. The bread tasted fresh and I like the amount of ingredients in the sandwich. The cheesesteak wasn't the best. It had a cucumber wasabi sauce that wasn't the best. The meat was well cooked though. I just think the sauce isn't for everybody. I think I would order again from here. The prices were decent. Each sandwich came with a large amount of fries and the sandwiches were pretty filling.

Stepping up to the counter, I was immediately greeted by a member of the staff. What truly elevated…read morethis experience above the standard quick-service interaction was the genuinely friendly and approachable demeanor of the personnel. I had a few questions the kind of queries that often elicit hurried or impatient responses at busy locations but here, the staff member was not only happy but eager to assist. They took the time to patiently explain different menu items, offer insightful recommendations based on popular orders. It wasn't just a transaction it was a mini-consultation. This level of service truly goes the extra mile and is a cornerstone of what makes a simple meal memorable. I settled on ordering the Crispy Chicken Sandwich combo that comes with a sandwich french fries and a drink. The packaging is nice and cool. From the moment it was handed over, wrapped neatly, the anticipation was high. The first bite confirmed that this was a good sandwich experience. It was substantial in size, cooked perfectly to achieve that elusive balance incredibly moist and tender on the inside, encased in a shatteringly crispy, golden-brown crust on the outside. The seasoning was spot-on flavorful without being overpowerin. This is a good spot to check out, if you are around American dream mall.

The reason I give it 3 stars is because I don't think they've ever gotten my food order 100% right. They make a tasty burger, but they always forget at least one requested topping on the burger. The menu says "lettuce, tomato, and onion on request" and even though I always request all three, I never get all three. If I ask for a different kind of cheese, I get American anyway. A lot of the time my receipt will have all of my requests on it, but the burger doesn't match. Also, they seem to have downgraded their onion rings. The old ones were awesome and were a major selling point for me as an onion ring enjoyer. The new onion rings remind me of Burger King. Overall solid spot with a nice Irish pub vibe. Waitresses are mostly cool and friendly.
