    The Town Special
    Nicole D.

    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.

    "Fruity Patootie" - $6 extra for this amount of fruit
    Lexy N.

    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.

    California Eggs Benedict.
    Emma G.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Mediterranean Omelette
    Steph C.

    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.

    Jeff omelette
    Zenya K.

    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.

    tostones with guacamole
    Keeozel S.

    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.

    "Philly" Cheesesteak and cheese fries.
    John A.

    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???

    Coffee!

    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.

    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.

    Italian Panini and Shrimp Fajitas
    Erin A.

    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.

    The check or bill. Can across this spot. Diner food, it was okay.

    A Hidden Gem You Can't Miss!…read more I stumbled upon this adorable local café by accident, and I'm so glad I did. It's a truly special spot that feels like a breath of fresh air compared to the usual chain coffee shops. The coffee is outstanding. Their cortado and flat white are perfectly crafted and some of the best I've had. We also tried the cold matcha with a squirt of strawberry syrup, which was absolutely delicious a perfect refreshing treat. The pastries are a highlight too; they are homemade and baked fresh on a "need-to-basis," so you know everything is made with care and never sits around. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It is incredibly dog-friendly, which was a huge plus for us since we brought our furbaby along. He absolutely loved his "pupachino"! We were lucky enough to enjoy the beautiful weather on their outside seating area, which added to the lovely vibe. We even got to meet the owner, who was kind, warm, and welcoming, and the staff is equally friendly. It's rare to find a place with such genuine hospitality. Definitely make this your go-to spot before heading to Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. You won't regret supporting this wonderful local business!

Once you sit down you scan a QR Code to order your food and drinks. I was pretty hungry that day so we ended up ordering a ton of food. The drinks were pretty good and they were served in Le Creuset mugs. Not the biggest deal, but I can appreciate some nice drinkware. The bowl of Kimchi Fried rice came out first. It was a generous portion and the rice was cooked well, but I feel like it could've used some more kimchi. The eggs on top were cooked perfectly and added good texture to the dish. The next dish to come out was the HK French toast. The bread was nice and fluffy which paired well with a nice generous drizzle of condensed milk. I enjoyed this a lot. We also ordered scallion pancake, pork barbecue, and bossam baos. These were ok, I would probably pass on a return visit. I felt like the meat in the baos was a little tough though they did have decent flavor. The last entree was the smoked salmon and avocado croissant; I really enjoyed this. It had a generous helping of smoked salmon and avocado as well. The saltiness of the salmon paired well with the creamy and fatty avocado. The croissant was also nice and flaky. It was also served with a house salad which had a nice drizzle of dressing on it too. For dessert we ordered a Black Sesame Souffle Pancake. This was SO good. A few months ago I visited a place in Princeton that specialized in these Japanese-style pancakes and Tasty Junction's version was so much more enjoyable. I loved that it was served with a healthy scoop of ice cream. The pancake was airy and had a bounce to it. Each bite was so good and made even better with the ice cream. I'd definitely come back just for the pancakes. All in all Tasty Junction is a great spot tucked away in Glen Rock

One thing I really liked is how customizable the menu is. You can choose different creams and ice cream flavors on top - they have a great variety, including strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, taro, ube, and more. The service was great. Everyone was very kind and welcoming, and they let us know that the Japanese soufflé pancakes take about 15 minutes to prepare, which I was completely fine with since they're made fresh. The ambiance is chill and quiet. The café is tucked away on the side of the street - I actually missed it the first time and had to circle back. We were lucky to find street parking right in front, though there aren't many spots available. As for the pancakes themselves, I thought they were just okay. They're made with four eggs, and you can definitely taste them. That said, my daughter absolutely loved them, so it may just come down to personal preference.

It was busy when I ran in today around 12:45p on a Sunday and that's always a good sign. It looks clean and the drinks I saw looked appetizing. The food menu sounds fantastic. The guy who helped me with my order was super nice. But I actually went in there on the hunt for something specific. It's the 2nd time I went in since they moved to the space across the street from where they were. The first time I stopped in quickly and saw they had what I was looking for but very few so I didn't buy anything. l had done a very difficult and time intensive Google search for Macaron Cafe macarons. They wholesale out of NYC and they're the best macarons ever. There are probably 6-7 places in Ridgewood that sell macarons, some that make them fresh baked. And none are as good as the ones from Macaron Cafe. Pre-covid I could find them locally pretty easily. But now, it's really hard. Most of the places that sell them put up a menu of the flavors that's very easily identifiable, and they carry the full line. By googling a photo of the menu I was able to find them in Fort Lee and American Dream and those are both too far. I'd gone into every single place that sells macarons in downtown Ridgewood except RCC and none of them have them. I finally made it into Ridgewood when RCC is open (we usually end up in Ridgewood after dinner and they're closed) and imagine my joy in seeing the macarons there. I can tell it's them instantly. Except - they only have like eight of the flavors! They don't advertise them. They don't have the menu up either, so they only way I could tell there might be a chance of them being there was an old photo of their counter from Yelp or Google. So, I didn't have any drinks or food. I just bought some macarons. And I would've bought more except that they didn't really have the flavors I wanted. There are generally around 28-32 flavors and they change/add/take away every few months/holidays, etc. My knocking a star is ONLY for the lack of flavors of these amazing macarons and only having a tease amount of flavors of them. And they should advertise their baked goods/desserts better, like in photos on instagram. They don't post enough of all their food. I had to just take a chance and come in from an old photo. I know I don't want to have to drive to American Dream mall for these macarons. And I know the girls behind me in line today were talking about how they came in for tiramisu.
