My friend has been hankering me for years to try this place. I keep telling him it looks overrated…read more We stopped for coffee prior to eating and my friend who runs his mouth h to anyone who'd listen, told the barista we were going to 1950 Originals. Barista responded that it's overrated. Baristas never lie. Now don't get me wrong, it's not a bad spot but there are way too many awesome deep fried hotdog alternatives in North Jersey. First off: The huge weather beaten wiener on the side walk was just begging for someone to sit on it Secondly: The selfie station with the quote "I got that dog in me" begs for an explanation. The kiosk ordering was fine but definitely took away from the 1950 feel. I order my dog well done but it had no snap, definitely not a ripper. My friend loaded up his burger and dog which created quite a mess when eating but he added that the topping overload was needed for flavoring. French fries were quite good and the onion rings could have used another onion as the exterior crunch overwhelmed the single onion. The place is clean and service was quick. Will I be back? Probably not.

Westwood Prime Meats 190 Westwood Ave…read more Westwood, NJ 07675 Brewery burger The interior is set up in two sections; a deli for placing to-go orders and a sit down restaurant. There are multiple seats in the dining area. There is a unique procedure when ordering the burger. A customer may select one of three blends: steak blend, SSB (short rib, sirloin, & brisket), and dry aged. I selected steak blend, which was 80% beef and 20% fat. At first, I was filled with concern as I observed the specialty burger. The burger itself looked like it was sliding apart. The bun did not have any physical resemblance to a pretzel as it looked like an ordinary bun. As always, never judge a book by its cover. I took a single bite and my taste buds were in paradise. The burger was cooked medium and topped with butcher cut bacon and IPA beer cheese sauce. The thick slab of bacon strips were chewy and they melted right in my mouth. The beer cheese was so mouthwatering that I requested an additional cup. The pretzel bun may look like a regular hamburger bun, it has the texture and taste of a pretzel; it is even sprinkled with a dash of rock salt. As a bonus, a full size pitcher of water and crispy fries with a smokehouse dipping sauce are all included with the burger. Both the burger and fries can be dipping in both the smokehouse sauce and cheese sauce. These sauces are the backbone to the burger and you won't even consider supplementing anything else. Although the initial appearance didn't catch my eye, they had me by taste and that is what matters in the end! #westwoodprimemeats #breweryburger #westwoodnj

It's the perfect spot for a date night or catching up with friends--cozy, inviting, and easy to settle into for a relaxed meal. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area.

I also liked the pizza, I think it was called the Bee Sting? Nice flavor, would eat that again. Otherwise we did not enjoy our experience. We were seated underneath a vent that continuously sprayed water, at one point right into my food. No thanks. I ended up sampling the kids' macaroni and cheese, which was utterly bland. The salad portion was skimpy to boot. On the whole, we felt no need to return. Maybe you will have (or have already had) a better experience. But with so many options out there we will look elsewhere.

Farm Cafe 40 Old Hook Road…read moreCloster, NJ 07624 Homemade Hibiscus Iced Tea Farm Burger This country style cafe is located on the Abram Demaree Homestead farm. This building has been around since 1700s and was formerly a general store and tavern. All of the menu items are freshly prepared in house using organic ingredients directly from the farm. These are a couple of the lunch menu items I explored: Homemade Hibiscus Iced Tea: This herbal beverage has a reddish color; its appearance is different from an original iced tea. The drink was very refreshing with a slightly tart taste. Farm Burger: This ounce angus patty includes lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and a secret sauce. I also added yellow American cheese for a $1 up charge. I cannot identify the ingredients of the secret sauce, hence the name. It was really tasty and I requested a small extra cup on the side for dipping. For the most part, this was a tasty burger. Next time, I will request to have the patty cooked medium well because I feel a well done burger compromises its flavor. This cafe also serves as a farmers market; they sell grocery items such as homemade honey and farm fresh eggs. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. I highly recommend dining in so you can take in the country atmosphere. #farmcafe #abramdemareehomesteadfarm #farmburger #hibiscusicedtea #closternj

But still, nobody died We ordered two brookies to go and the chocolate chip with peanut candy to go. Great options! This will be , for sure, our new go to for burgers/food. My god - great place !

Now I'm wondering how I managed to miss Rony's Rockin' Grill all this time. If you know me, you know I'm crazy about hamburgers, so I was immediately on board. Even better, Rony himself came over to take our order. I mentioned I like my burgers rare, and he suggested going black and blue--perfect call. It came out exactly right. The meat was incredibly fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. I had mine with cheddar, and honestly, it couldn't have been better. The onion rings deserve their own shoutout--battered, super fresh, and fried to a perfect crisp. Not your typical side...these were next-level and unlike anything else around here. I seriously don't know how I've driven by this place a million times and never stopped. Big mistake on my part. Safe to say we'll be back again and again. Can't recommend it enough.
