    Taylor ham egg and chees
    Hugo P.

    Service was good. Food was expensive for the taste. Asked for a Taylor ham egg and cheese and I got a tiny sliver of an egg, and they didn't toast my ham, cheese tomato lettuce sandwich like I asked. Mocha peanut butter milkshake Id rate a 7/10. Definitely not impressed with the establishment, won't be going back. Ambiance was what you'd expect from a breakfast spot. And they forgot the napkins.

    I was looking for a local breakfast spot and I came across this place. I called in my order and the lady that answered seemed to not be so happy it was Monday, for lack of better words lol. I ordered the short stack pancakes with a side of home fries and turkey bacon and she said it would take 15 minutes. When I arrived I parked nearby. I walked in and told the lady that I was there for a pick up and my name. She seemed to be rushed or overwhelmed. She said it would be $13.06 and I paid with my credit card and left. When I tried the food the pancakes were tasty, the home fries needed a little salt and the turkey bacon wasn't too bad. All in all I had an ok experience.

    From the moment we stepped into this quaint breakfast spot, we felt great vibes. We were able to be seated at the bar right away where we had a great view of the chefs cooking up breakfast masterpieces! We ordered the western omelette and a customized omelette, both cooked to perfection. The pancakes were fluffy and light. The café latte was delicious and our servers were friendly. Thank you Tristan and GG for the flavorful meal and excellent hospitality. When we're in Jersey, we will definitely be back to see you.

    Thanks for showing appreciation with the free espresso on check in! Really nice place! Great waitress.

    I really needed a great breakfast this morning and I'm glad I came to Cafe 401 & Grill! The food was great, interior cute and clean, my waitress Michele was fantastic! I was having a not so great start to my day and I really needed a good experience for breakfast to boost my mood, so based on the great ratings I came here and ordered the eggs Benedict, which is like the Cadillac of breakfast sandwiches, not an entirely easy task for a grillemaster, and they made a sandwich worthy of the name. The eggs were perfectly done, the Canadian bacon was there at every bite, the hollandaise sauce was actually very tasty (many get this part wrong but not here), and to cap it off, there's really great home fried potatoes with bits of onion and red bell pepper. I scraped the plate clean. Worth the trip if you're within reasonable distance, bookmark it, check in and get a FREE espresso!

    Thin a$$ pancakes

    Very meh. This is a 2.5 star review really. The service is meh and the food is too. When I first ordered from here back when I was new to town, I thought I'd found something. Not far from where I live and the waffle sandwich was quite good. Waffle was a little lighter than I'd like but I thought it was a decent takeout breakfast. I came in for an order of pancakes on my day off and the pancakes were damn near crepes. Lol. And not fluffy like ppl say in older reviews. Only saving grace were the cheese eggs, which were made how I make them at home. Bacon is pre cooked and then thrown on the griddle so it's extra crispy. Not bad, but an accurate description so you know what you're getting.

    Cafe 401 for a quick but luscious breakfast with just the right amount of Portuguese flair.  Give Tristan a visit great great guy!!!!

    Fresh OJ and eggs Benedict
    Lorena R.

    Ordered the eggs Benedict, fresh OJ, my bf ordered the peasant omelet. He is so picky so it was a test to see if this would be our new breakfast spot. Well it definitely is! My eggs benedict was amazing, the sauce was bomb! The home fries were seasoned perfectly the way my boyfriend likes it. I recommend this spot 100%! We will be coming back on the weekends for sure. To the owner: this is Tarik girlfriend, he told me to tell you the peasant omelet with the avocado was worth the wait. Loved it! Lol

    The Berkeley
    Andrea J.

    I really was excited to try this place out because of the reviews and the pictures seemed appetizing but it was a miss. The service was good. The girls where very nice and attentive. I got the eggs and meat platter which was good but my hash browns were under salted and my egg was over cooked, I asked for over medium. My partner got a sandwich called the Berkeley, which was basically a Reuben from the description. When we got the sandwich there was literally one slice of meat in the sandwich. In addition the pancakes we got to share tasted undercooked. The best part of my breakfast was the fresh orange juice sadly.

    It's that time again! When it's Hubs' birthday, we gather the boys and have a feast of meat. Just…read moredays before, my friend sent me the picture I posted from us 10 years ago when we started the tradition. The meats hit the same. I still get the mixed kebab because the all you can eat is way too much for me. Don't sleep on the collard greens. I would order an extra serving so you can mix them with eggs in the morning. Did we wait an hour for our table? Yes, but it was well worth it. There was a spot at the bar where we can chill and all catch up with the peeps we hadn't seen in a min. It was nice to have that time because there was silence when we sat and got our food. We were hungry. One thing I will say, they took away the bowls of olives. I mean I was probably the only one that looked forward to them, so I get it. But holla at me if you feel the same way. Until next year Carvalhos

    I was really excited about trying this spot since it was recommended by a friend…read more The big plus is that they have a private parking lot. They do not take reservations on the weekends so be prepared to wait 35-40 minutes for a table since it tends to get packed in the evening. They do have a big bar to have a drink and wait in the meantime. The staff is very friendly and attentive which I loved, they made sure our table was clean and our drinks were filled. Now the food, their appetizers that they bring to the table were just ok; the sweet plantains, rice and beans were pretty good. The French fries were undercooked which no one at the table touched. The salad could have used a little more color but the dressing was really good. The meats themselves were good but could better. I really enjoyed their picanha; it was cooked a perfectly medium. It was juicy and flavorful. The chicken legs and turkey wrapped in bacon were so delicious and well seasoned. When it came to the skirt steak, short ribs and other cuts of meat, I felt like they were on the drier side and not as tasty. They never asked how we liked it cooked (medium or well done) so we just got whichever temperature they were served. I was also disappointed they didn't have chicken hearts since I always look forward to those when I go to a rodizio. Each person rodizio is $54 which is definitely on the higher end and the prices on their website are outdated. I would probably not return; there are more affordable rodizio with higher end cuts.

    Came for the Tasting menu experience, at the Chefs counter. Was quite happy with the visit…read more It's a nice restaurant inside, although located within a random strip mall. The parking was actually full when we arrived, possibly because of the bar using the same lot. But there is an elevated connected lot for the bowling alley that has plenty of parking. I have to say that the best thing about this place is the service: everyone was very friendly, and quick to attend us. Food was great, except maybe the flake fish (first course). Seemed more Spanish to me than Portuguese though. Portions were huge... actually had leftovers from a dish, which is the first for me from a tasting menu. The prices were reasonable In terms of why I'm giving this 4 star instead of 5: -we were seated at the "Chefs counter", but did not really have a view of the prep, which was really far away. Basically could just see the fireplace. The sister restaurant Heirloom is a much better chef's counter setup where you are seeing everything -Dishes seemed to be regular menu type dishes (just smaller portions), as opposed to super interesting types that you would expect from a tasting menu -Beverage pairing was okay... didn't really love the wines For these reasons, I'd likely return, but just stick to the regular menu/ experience.

They seem to be doing a lot of take out, but there is a dining room with 6 or 7 tables. We were greated and served by Alexandria, who was friendly and attentive. She made some recommendations that did not disappoint. The sauteed chicken with garlic sauce had tons of flavor. We tried all the empanadas : chicken, beef, and spinach-cheese and they were excellent. Super-flaky and big and tasted great. We also got the beef short ribs and they were tender the way i needed. The bbq chicken and pork rib combo is another great dish. The Pork cubes dish has plenty of chorizo with loin chunks and sauteed veggies. Everything came with a brocolli, cauliflower and carrot medly that was cooked perfectly. I hate overcooked veg, and these were just right. The rice side dish was large and fluffy and I kept going back for more of the black beans side. This place is worth a return, the standouts being the garlic chicken and crispy empanadas.
