Stopped by Fisher's, for another nice meal, and it did not disappoint. I always enjoy viewing their innovative decor, that addresses the current seasonal celebration. Their food is always good. They have plenty of options, especially for omelets, and the kitchen is in plain site, where you could see the magic being prepared. Every entree that we ordered was presented at the right temperature and you could taste the freshness in their ingredients. I am happy to be a frequent customer of Fisher's Café and recommend everyone to do the same. read more

There are several things that I expect when going to a quintessential New Jersey diner, and Fisher's Cafe hit many of these points: - Large menu with many options - Brunch foods offered all the time with options that include Taylor Ham - Cheap prices but large portions, particularly the pancakes and the chicken parmesan sandwich. Surprisingly, the diner was not busy (maybe half full) on a Saturday at around lunchtime. I found this somewhat odd. The restaurant is basically the diner counter and then a line of booths along the wall, so there is not too much seating overall. I would imagine it could get filled up very quickly. The food was very good overall: - Chicken parmesan sandwich was huge and well-crafted. - The eggs blackstone was very tasty - the hollandaise melded surprisingly well with the avocado and egg. I would imagine that the California benedict (the version with bacon) would taste very good as well. - Kids loved the pancakes, especially the chocolate ones. read more

Coffee and food are delicious! Service was excellent. Parking in the back. Can't wait to go back. read more

Very good food! The hash browns were wonderfully seasoned and the perfect amount of crisp to them! We sat outside-- it's still a nice spot, but sad that they did away with the really great/decorated set up they had around COVID times. Service was fair. read more

We arrived at Fisher's Cafe around 9am on a Saturday morning. There were about 3 occupied tables, what I imagine is a fairly slow morning for a breakfast spot. We sat down, and it took over 5 minutes for us to get our menus - wet and sticky, at that. We waited again to order - three very simple breakfast items (two breakfast platters and pancakes with fruit). After waiting 30 minutes for our food, I noticed they had just put the pancakes on the griddle. With a toddler and an infant (who was getting increasingly agitated, sitting at an empty table with no food), we finally asked that they pack our food to go. No apologies for the late service, no acknowledgment that we'd been waiting over half an hour for bacon, eggs, and toast. To add insult to injury, they had the audacity to charge $6 for this amount of fruit ($7.95 for pancakes with coffee, $13.95 for "fruity patootie" - the same pancakes with fresh fruit - no coffee). I'm a mom so I know the cost of fruit has gone up, but this does not warrant a $6 up-charge. As they started packing our order, we noticed the gentleman who had walked in 15-20 minutes after us was already eating his food. Maybe because he hugged the owner/staff when he arrived? Who knows. An hour and $45 later, we went home to put the baby down for a nap and to eat our cold, soggy breakfasts. We had contemplated leaving without the food and canceling our orders, but didn't want to do that to a small business. It's too bad they didn't have the same level of courtesy for our family. We had high hopes for Fisher's Cafe from the reviews, but we probably won't be back again. read more

I stopped by here for a post-hike meal this past Saturday afternoon. Coincidentally, the best kosher pizza I've ever had (disclaimer - I'm not Jewish/kosher, but I've had my share of kosher food over the past year) is right down the street at Zevy's, but obviously that was a no-go on a Saturday. Without doing any prelim research, I walked down the street, saw that this place had a legit breakfast menu that I was in the mood for, and wandered in. The interior is pretty generic, basically your average diner though it didn't look rundown or divey. I made eye contact immediately with a waiter, who told me to sit wherever I wanted, and I was assisted shortly thereafter. Like a diner, the menu is fairly lengthy, with options for any meal in the day. After going back and forth on a few egg-centric dishes, I settled on the California Benedict ($14), which unsurprisingly featured avocado, as well as bacon. I liked the Benedict portion, though it was a little small for my appetite - that's partly from the hike, but you can see from the picture that it's practically dwarfed by the accompanying home fries. I'd upgrade to a slightly larger sized egg and biscuit/English muffin (not sure which it was) if only to make the optics a little better. The home fries were just okay - they were cooked fine, but I had to douse them with a healthy sprinkling of pepper, which I rarely do. Adding some seasoning into the cooking process would go a long way with them, especially since it's such a generous helping. The service was very good. I was thirsty (see above references to hike), and the waiter kept my water glass from completely emptying as I rehydrated. It didn't take long to order or get my food, and he also stopped by once or twice to check in. There was an additional employee who was assisting with bussing the tables, and that certainly helped as well. Honestly in the post-COVID era, when is the last time you saw a place arguably OVERstaffed? The price point was reasonable in my estimation as well. I'm not too familiar with Fair Lawn (this was my first time in their downtown area), but it's probably a LITTLE more blue collar than some of its neighboring towns, and the prices likely reflect that. Very pleasant meal that hit the spot though - I would have no issue returning if another Eggs Benedict-related hankering arose. read more

Been there a few times since and the good is delicious and staff is friendly! It's a really cute place

Enjoyed my lunch. Ordered chicken salad on rye toast w/cole slaw & side of well-done hash browns. My sandwich was tasty & the potatoes were made perfectly. Service was excellent. The owner, took our order & was our server. She was very professional & wore a warm smile. The cafe is small, but has a number of booths & tables. The style is traditional, old-school diner. The place & gender bathroom were very clean. I will be back. read more

A hidden gem. I went with a group of three for lunch and we immediately were greeted by the employees upon entering. The atmosphere inside is nice- cute decor and music playing. The music is at an ideal volume to allow you to enjoy it while also allowing for conversation. The menu has so many good options it was difficult to choose. I ordered cafe con leche (coffee with milk) which was good. My sister ordered an iced caramel latte which she loved. As my meal I ordered the California eggs Benedict and an extra side of bacon which were really good. My only comment is that the staff should have provided a sharper knife to cut through the English muffin for my dish. Service was great. The server was friendly and very attentive. He filled our waters and coffee without us having to ask and came by to check if we needed anything without being overbearing. They have an outdoor seating area in the back. We will definitely return! read more

Fishers café is walkable for me. We went here for breakfast around 10 AM. Plenty of seating and attentive service. The menu is wide and varied with typical diner fare. The eggs Benedict was pretty good. Coffee was pretty good, too. There's a back patio for when the weather is warm. There's parking across the street or right in front. If you're in Fair Lawn, it's a solid bet. read more

Plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant. Outside dining as well. I ordered the California egg Benedict, the egg was cooked to perfection & the bacon was crispy. They didn't add the avocado which it was suppose to come with. The potato hash was very good too. Mediterranean omelette was very tasty, not to heavy. Nice local restaurant. read more

Came here after spending some time in town and was looking for a hearty breakfast, and this hit the spot! I had the Jeff omelette and it was amazing: the pico de Gallo was so fresh and balanced very well with the mushrooms inside. I also love how they added their potatoe hash on the side - such a great compliment to the meal. I also had the waffles and fresh berries and that was good, although, aired more on the dense side than "fluffy/airy." Service was okay, waiter did not come back after initially bringing the meal, but the food is definitely work a trip back. read more

This is my second time visiting Fisher's Cafe. The first time they were closed at 3pm, though on google it says 8pm. They must've been on break. Either way, I'll be returning. As you walk into the restaurant the scenery and ambiance is really nice, you can tell they paid attention to the details. 7/10 The service is great once someone finally speaks to you. I believe that this is a small family business where everyone chips in and I love to see that! In my experience, I got my own menu, sat myself and ordered at the front. It would be nice to be greeted by someone. 7/10 AND THE FOOOOOOD 8.5/10 I ordered the tostones with guacamole for starters which I really enjoyed. The guac was fresh and tasty, could've used a bit more seasoning for my liking. I ordered the crispy chicken panini and it was indeed crispy, good temperature, cheesy and delicious! The serving of fries were relatively small. read more

Never noticed this place and I've been in this area since 1989! You really miss it, if you are not looking for it. Tried it for lunch and it was very good. Most people seemed to be ordering breakfast type foods but I got a Philly Cheesesteak and Cheese fries (I had a craving). Both were very good. The Philly Cheesesteak was NOT a traditional Philly Cheesesteak of thinly sliced steak meat .. but more like a strip steak that was cut up into smaller chunks and then put on a round kaiser roll. Still, it was good and the portions were decent. The fries did NOT come with the sandwich so lunch, including coffee was $20, not including tip. Still, it was good and the burgers I saw looked delicious, too so I'll have to come back and try a few different things. I don't think there was any salt on the fries, which I could have added myself - but didn't. Hey, I'm trying to eat healthy haha. Loved the the old-school diner atmosphere and also the classic rock from the 70's playing (I'm old!). Only one cook and a waitress but it wasn't a long wait. The cook was moving very fast and I was impressed with his skills. He was working his tail off. I sat at the counter but there are several booths, too. Haven't seen the outdoor seating yet. Looks nice, from the pictures I saw. Posting a pic. How delicious does that look??? read more

Such a nice cafe shop with a huge menu! There is plenty of street parking around the restaurant and we have arming in the back. The staff was so friendly and attentive. There is so much to choose from we need a few minutes to order. The omelette was cooked to perfection. My toast was a little over done but they everything else was tasty. They have long open hours for a cafe shop which we really liked. Everything is cooked to order. Coffee was made fresh to order as well. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to grab a late breakfast/early lunch. After reading some of the reviews, I was convinced that this was a place to get a hearty meal for a reasonable price. I was happy to find out that this was the case. When we first entered the café, no one one was there to greet or seat us. Based on my experience and watching others come in, I think you just walk up to the counter and either ask to be seated or order to go. Although there was an open table when we arrived, it took about 10 minutes to be seated. One of the cooks was also a waiter so everything seemed to take a bit longer than it needed to. Even after being seated, it took another 10 minutes for him to take our order. There was another waiter but since we weren't in his section he didn't bother to get address us until we got his attention to ask about ordering. Shortly after, our initial waiter/cook came and took our order. The service overall was very slow-- I don't know if it was this day in particular but I think if that had one more waiter on the floor then things wouldn't have taken so long. Watching the cook go back and forth between the kitchen and to the tables was hard to watch lol I felt so bad for him. As for the food, I ordered the philly cheesesteak omelet and my husband ordered the BBQ breakfast burger. My omelet was just OK. The steak was tough and the peppers had a strange after taste, as if they were left out. The breakfast potatoes were among the best I've ever had. My husband loved his burger and had no complaints. I would love to visit again to try some other items on their menu since it's there's so much to choose from. read more

We came in for breakfast before errands Saturday morning. Saw a sign on the door that they were currently only accepting Cash or Zelle payments. We have Zelle through TD, so we still went in. Fisher's is where you go for the basics done right. No fuss or frills, just good breakfast food. Worth checking out - it might turn into your go-to diner. read more

Outside seating is so cute and the restaurant smelled so good from the parking lot so I was very excited to try it. Needless to say that's where my excitement ended. We walked in the waitress stated they had a large party so the food would take a while. We waited probably 10-15 minutes for the menus and again for water to come. I asked how long the food would come out before ordering because if it would have taken a long time we would have just left. The waitress said probably 15 minutes since the large party already got most of their food, so I figured that wasn't too bad. But an hour later and the food still isn't here. Honestly if you have a big party and can't manage other guests too then you shouldn't be open to the public. Two waitresses came by to apologize for the wait. One had her mask under her nose the whole time!! What's the point of wearing it ?? I understand they are very busy but it's still not okay to make guests wait that long and give false wait times. The food came out 1 hour and 30 mins waiting for the food. My boyfriend ordered an Italian Panini with out onions and he had to correct the waitress twice, the first time she had down an omelette ? But when it came out there were onions and incorrect fries. I ordered the shrimp fajitas which were actually good. The shrimp had a lot of flavor and the rice was well made. Also when the food came we asked for the check right away since every thing took so long. The waitress came back around but didn't have the check we asked her again she just looked at us and walked away. Cute spot but I would never return. I never had service like that before. Would not recommend. read more

Wow can I give this place less than a star? Service is horrible! They don't pay attention when you are ordering and brought us the wrong food. The people next to us complained several times as they did not receive their food. Waiter was rude and the wait staff is all over the place and disorganized. Tables were getting up wondering where their food was/where the check was. Food was not good, home fries and Belgian waffle were barely cooked. Fries were soggy. I will never be back. Unreal.

This was my first visit to Fisher's Cafe. It was a Tuesday at noon. I walked through after I decided that the patio was a good choice on such a warm day. I ordered the Jay Melt burger which is a grilled cheese sandwich with burger meat within. I enjoyed my meal while listening to Lana Del Ray as well as some harder tunes and getting spooked by the Halloween decorations which I assume most people won't see as it gets colder out. My cheeseburger/grilled sandwich was great. Surprising were the fries which is usually on the bottom in quality at most places but were amazingly tasty here. I was expecting them to bring me the bill, especially after clearing my table but I learned that you have to go back in to pay. read more

Good food and good portions, at a good price. Came for breakfast after a work meeting. It doesn't have it's own parking lot, so you'll have to find street parking. If you weren't looking for it, it'd be pretty easy to miss. It's an old school lunch counter, complete with bar seating where you can see the guys cooking. I think the largest tables/booths can comfortably seat up to four, so this place wouldn't be too good for a large group. Service was attentive and friendly, and our orders came out right the first time. I had the Jeff, an egg white omelet with chicken, chorizo, black beans, pico de gallo and avocados. It was a hefty omelet, bursting with different flavors. The quality and portion size of the food was very good for the price. I would return for sure. read more

Never had a bad meal until today. Ordered "Alex's favorite panini". The eggplant inside my sandwich was completely burned to a crisp. It was black! I don't even know how the cook could actually think it was ok to put it into a sandwich. The bread was totally stale. And I got about 4 sweet potato fries. I will definitely never order from Fishers again. read more

Great selection of fresh ingredients for breakfast lunch or early dinner prepared with care and served with smiles and courtesy.

Having several food allergies is a pain in the neck. As soon as we walked in into Fisher's Cafe, the smell of fresh packages make me crave pancakes. I asked if they had gluten free pancakes, and they don't. BUT, I was told right away they will get for next time as they have gluten free pancakes at their other location. I was sooooo happy to hear how accommodating they are thank you. The service is wonderful, friendly and you don't feel rushed. My boyfriend had the Irish Eggs Benedict and I had the Huevos Rancheros. The black beans were absolutely spectacular! They had a home made taste that's hard to find in restaurants. The coffee was fresh and delicious. Looking forward to trying their Skinny Deep Burger (no buns thank you) and their pancakes. Prices great and the atmosphere is welcoming. read more

I ordered takeout brunch for a group from this cafe, and found all the items on the menu were quite reasonably priced, with the steak and eggs being a steal. For myself, the Town Special was quite delicious with hearty portions, between the slices of taylor ham, the home fries, eggs, and rye toast. We didn't end up getting our coffee or utensils packed in (were we supposed to for takeout?) so I'll deduct a star from this otherwise very tasty and affordable meal. read more

Returned after a hiatus only to find the outdoor patio is getting rundown. Service was terrible and short handed. We ordered paninis and fries. We were served a miniscule portion of small broken bottom of the bag fries. It was a disappointing experience for the money. read more

Fun little luncheonette in Fair Lawn. It wasn't very busy at lunch time, which was surprising to me. A coworker and I came to have lunch together. I was surprised to see such a full and varied menu. I ordered a chicken cordon bleu panini, and my coworker ordered a nice caesar salad. I was surprised at how large my sandwich was, and had to bring half of it back to work with me. My coworker was extremely happy with her salad as well. One star off because service was extremely slow despite the place being nearly empty, but all in all a good spot. I'll go again. read more

Came with my family for brunch and left disappointed. I ordered an Italian panini. The menu stated that it would be on focaccia and I was specifically looking forward to that. It came on a pressed Kaiser roll. I asked the server if it was supposed to come on focaccia and he had the gall to claim that the Kaiser roll was focaccia. If you're out, then just say so. Don't insult my intelligence by lying. Other things we ordered were mostly breakfast foods and they were just average, and the portions were not big like at Benny's which is where we usually go. The empty dining room should have been a big marker, but we wanted to give them a try. I gave them a chance to correct their mistake so it's too bad that they chose not to. Won't be returning. read more
