Interior was clean and beautiful. As always unlimited cheese bread was amazing. Would go again to this location. Room for improvement: I wish they would ask for our phone number for the fogo rewards. They also forgot to bring out the sides but once I brought it to their attention it was fixed.

So my sister graduated medical school in NJ and we were looking for a quick restaurant so that we…read morecan dine. The staff at the front were welcoming and courteous. Unfortunately, my overall experience was very disappointing due to poor service. Our server, a shorter male who I believe was named Ricardo, took our order. I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and yuca fries. After waiting 25 minutes, I asked a staff member serving steak to check on the order, and he agreed. After 45 minutes, I followed up again with another staff member, a woman with reddish hair in a ponytail, and asked her to check with the kitchen. After waiting over an hour with no update, when she passed back, I informed her that I no longer wanted the food, and she acknowledged my request. Throughout this entire time, our server never once checked in on us. When he finally came to the table, I confirmed that my order had been canceled, and he said yes. He then proceeded to tell us that cooking takes time and that we needed to be patient. I dine out regularly and understand reasonable wait times, but the lack of communication and follow-up was unacceptable. The comment made by our server felt dismissive and unprofessional, especially given the circumstances. Overall, this experience did not meet expectations, and I will likely just stick to New York in the future.

The lobster truck happened to be at an event we were attending so I thought why not try something…read morethat I am always craving- lobster roll specifically the Connecticut style. I can't comment and other items they serve so this review is strictly for the lobster roll. I will tell you the clam chowder was super popular and people were coming back for seconds. I felt the roll was reasonable given the amount of lobster meat. At first I was like this is a tiny roll but when you really take a look at it, it was less bread and more just gorgeous pieces of tender meat. The lobster was super tender, and the bun soft and the perfect addition. I probably could've eaten 10 of these. So yummy. I love that they have several different types of dishes so something for everyone to be desired.

We visited Robert's Scratch Kitchen today (February 14) for Valentine's Day dinner. They start you…read moreoff with complimentary bread, which was a nice touch. I ordered the filet mignon, and the meat itself was very tender and delicious. The sauce, however, tasted a bit like packaged consommé and could definitely be improved to match the quality of the steak. My wife ordered the gnocchi, and they were very good. For dessert, we had the lava cake, which unfortunately was a little dry. Overall, the service was very good, and the experience was enjoyable. I'd give this place 4 stars.

Nothing beats a meal cooked entirely from scratch. All meals are prepared from raw, basic fresh…read moreingredients instead of relying on prepackaged or processed foods. The whole experience brings out a sense of nostalgia for one's childhood at grandmother's house. Today, many scratch kitchens pride themselves on making something particular. Located at a strip mall off of Minnisink Road in Totowa, my partner and I decided on dinner at Robert's Scratch Kitchen for some of us as first-timer. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable. Upon arrival at this cozy, inviting, and relaxed BYOB establishment, we were greeted by the owner, Robert, and got a table immediately by the window. The menu featured a variety of Italian, seafood, steak, pork, and veal dishes that change with the seasons, including a full gluten-free option catered especially to those with celiac. Their usage of an iPad shows the rotated specials was a novel idea. For starters, we decided on the Artichoke Hearts and Apple Salad. Our main meal consisted of Linguini and Clams as well as Eggplant Parmesan. The food was constantly fresh and prepared exactly how we had ordered it. The portions were healthy portions. The price was comparable to the area. The staff was attentive and wanted to ensure that we were happy. Our server was Juan. We had a wonderful culinary experience.

My husband bought chicken 2 months ago. My house is at most 15 minutes away from the market. When…read moreI picked up the chickens when they came home, they smelled. And when my wife took him away, the employee there scolded my wife for going around spoiling the chickens. My husband bought pasta at 3 pm today. The mouth of the pasta was opened and then taped. Either pasta was taken from it, or the bag burst, the pasta scattered on the ground, was collected and put back inside, and was taped and offered for sale. I don't know, of course I won't cook it. This is America, return is quite normal. We do not experience these in other markets.

Parking: Plenty of parking available…read more Service: There was about a 20 minute wait when we went at 6:30pm on a Saturday. My husband put our name in for a party of four and gave his phone number for the text notification but the hostess accidentally entered us as a party of two. Thankfully, the table that was ready was large enough for four but it could have caused an issue. As a note, she remembered and realized she mistyped it and apologized immediately. Our waiter was friendly, though the service had a few hiccups. My chicken quesadilla (which I ordered as my entrée) came out well before everyone else's meals. When boxing leftovers, he asked whether I wanted the sides, sour cream, and salsa included. I said no, but when I opened the container the next day, everything had been packed together anyway. Food: The chicken quesadilla was delicious and generously filled with shredded chicken. Drinks: The frozen strawberry margarita was excellent. It was filled to the brim and stronger than what you typically get at a restaurant. Overall, I'm chalking the service issues up to it being a busy Saturday night. We'd still happily return to Jose Tejas whenever we're in the area.

Went there for a late lunch as it has been three years since our last visit and truthfully will…read morebe our last. When we say the table even though was wiped down was sticky and damp. The food is the reason I'm writing this review. Ordered the Cajun popcorn shrimp for appetizer and it was beyond salty. The sauce helped but the salt was the extent of the taste. My wife had the fish fajitas and I had the pulled chicken tacos for lunch with fries. The fries were over fried like chips but the pulled chicken tacos was downright not right there was a chicken pot outlets chicken with a taste to the chicken. I had one bite put it down and pushed the plate away. I was done. My wife ate some of her fajita with her comment being that it's was really spicy. I asked for the check. The waiter asked us for boxes. Seeing that we didn't eat the food we said we weren't taking anything. I told him to have someone check the chicken as it's not right and he said he would let them know. He came back with the check I paid the full check and again mentioned to the waiter that someone should really look into the chicken as someone will get sick and we left. My wife was upset as she was upset I paid the sill receipt but my point is the following. Reputable locations who take their businesses serious pay attention and monitor their patrons. Ultimately without them they don't have a business. Your representative taking care of us saw we barely touched the food if at all. This is not normal at an eating establishment and your only concern was that we didn't want to take the food home. Following my warning on the food there was no concern just collect your check and rip. Enjoy the hundred bucks we will never be back. Left a star as I couldn't post with none.

Even with a 20 min delivery trip the food was so good. I highly recommend going for the house special menu. We got the Tea Smoked Duck, Spicy Crispy Fish, Ma Po Tofu and Tasty Flounder Fillet - the spice was strong but so flavorful and not overpowering. The cold lightly pickled cucumbers are a great fresh counterbalance to the warming spice. Highly recommend - oh and the kids ordered regular standard Chinese dishes like General Tso and chicken and broccoli and loved them as well.

Waitstaff was great and attentive, filling up our tea without even asking. Service was quick and efficient. Highly recommend this authentic restaurant!

The chain restaurant has been sinking for years, but what sure doesn't help it stay afloat is the service. Nice and friendly to our faces is all we'll get, especially when a group of over 8+ walk in and they see $$$ eyes for automatic gratuity. 15+ minutes to get drinks. Other tables taken care of in the meantime. The food came out, one order was not the intended order. The server was so persistent that "she pointed to it thats what she pointed to so thats what I rang in" and heavy on that mindset rather than fixing the problem. No repeat backs, our guest just said she wants salmon with baked potato and vegetables. It was a miscommunication, but the way the waitress handled it was crazy coming from someone who has over 12+ years in serving experience. We're not argumentative, and it was a celebration, so one guest barely touched their food as they were just displeased with it. Shrimp with sauce. Is that even the name for it? I had to spoon out at-least a 1 inch layer of oil for it to be even edible. Kitchen managers gave that an ok to be sent to a table? The best thing they have going is the crab legs/boils/lobster tails. The rest is straight trash, followed by 12am low ranked diner style service. I wish we had pics. We all just wanted to go. Our high school grad was happy to have their crab legs. For us adults, it's no go for us on this establishment. As a kid, I loved and cherished this place, sucks that it became this way.

Perhaps I wrongly assumed we would get a salad with piece of salmon on top. We got a chopped salad - which was fresh and tasty and well-dressed, that included literally 4 at best, 1 inch x 1 inch chunks of salmon - with the skin on. And the salmon tasted fishy. For the price, one expects at least a small filet of salmon on top of the salad. And at the very least one that doesn't taste fishy and aged. Not sure I want to take a chance again.
