    This is the franks special salad used to be my favorite, not any more. Looks great but the chicken is so hard you can't taste the meat

    The chicken franchise we had to send it back if you didn't have high blood pressure before you would now. It was so salty I spit it out in the first bite

    One of the better Franks around in this area. Not sure if they're a franchise outfit, everything including the marquee signs look the same. The other locations I know of are Rockaway near the Walmart, the one here in Sparta and one in West Milford along with the one in Jefferson Township. Place was spotless, there were three guys running the place, two up front by the pizza ovens and one in the back kitchen. My buddy and I ordered two sausage peppers and onion hoagies, grabbed a couple of sodas from the machine and sat down at one of their tables and in no time the guy running the ovens came over with our sandwiches. I hadn't had a SPO sandwich in a while and this one hit the spot.

    Some of the best pizza around. It's always the same and spot on. This Frank's makes great pizza.

    I've been to Franks many times before and let me say she's never been a grade A restaurant, needless to say she hasn't impressed me in the past 10 years I've been going here. The wings were less than amazing and I was pretty upset about that a perfect wing consists of a good amount of meat and I didn't see that with these wings. To be honest it was mostly bone which was honestly a choking hazard. The pizza was crisp (almost burnt) and there wasn't anything special about it. I didn't feel as star struck as I was hoping to be. The atmosphere is low key fire tho and I'm really digging it, but I might be biased cause Ive gone here a lot. On a more unbiased note the back of the restaurant looks nicer than the front which is kinda let down. The service it's okay but nothing that blew my sock off. Update: My wings are burnt and so are my hopes of a good experience

To start, we were brought a generous amount of warm, toasty bread that was like the love child of pizza dough and focaccia. There is a lot of variety on the menu, but I opted for seafood - fried calamari appetizer is a nice portion to share, with mild, fresh tasting marinara. And the Seafood Combo is a good mix of jumbo shrimp, mussels, calamari, and a few clams. It is not typically spicy, but I requested fra diavolo style and they gladly obliged. To be honest, the linguine was soft and overcooked for my liking, but the flavor was great, price was reasonable, and portion was big enough to have some leftovers the next day. The sauce combined with the seafood juices may have been even better the next day! Gnocchi w/ pesto was delicious, though a bit too much of the same thing - would be great shared for a family style meal. Most entrees are also served with soup or salad. Didn't try the soup, but salads were a nice option. And they brought us an unexpected order of zeppole to share, which was so kind and nice way to end the meal. With a little restaurant like this in your neighborhood, you may question why you would ever step foot in an Olive Garden, Bertucci's, or similar chain restaurant ever again. Note, there are a few quirks. Water offered in paper disposable cups, and don't expect an itemized receipt. While they do accept credit cards, they offer discounts for cash payment.

Disappointing to see because I was hoping the place would be as good or better than the video. Last Wednesday after my wife Sabina's final students left her arts school, I took her to try the restaurant anyways. Reached there late, the final half hour before closing and they accepted us. Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised. Sat at a table outdoors on the boardwalk overlooking Lake Mohawk on a beautiful evening. Restaurant was still busy as all tables were full. Sabina captured and shared videos of the lake views like we were at a destination in Italy 1. The waitress was not bubbly just kind, helpful, and honest about the food ingredients since we are vegetarian. Checked with chef on one item in particular to clarify/confirm whether it was made with meat before giving us a wrong answer. She was pleasant 2. First time here and first time taking a chance on an eggplant pie, the "Gina Marie." It was great in our opinions, worth the trip, wait, and money. Could not find anything off with it really. Enjoyable 3. They have an affogato which was not the best in the game but done right the traditional Italian way I think. I once went to an Italian restaurant in Florham Park where, wildly, no one in the staff knew what an affogato was and said "We are not Starbucks" like I was an idiot. Couldn't stop laughing inside at those morons. Great affogato I have tried is at Eataly store which has diff flavors like pistachio gelato and pistachio crumbs 3. Leftover slices in the air fryer the next day tasted similar to the day we ordered it. Definitely a plus as pizza from some restaurants taste terrible next day. Prices are elevated which is fine as long as the experience, depth of flavors (as an Indian), and quantity of food reflect. Did not try other pies so cannot share review/judge of them. Not sure why the reviews and rating are opposite our experience because we were fully 5 star satisfied.

We were seated quickly and Anthony, our server, stopped by right away with menus, a bottle of water and glasses, and a tray of bread, olive oil, olives, and cheese. We hoovered up everything that he'd brought to us- the bread was fantastic. I mean- wow.... seriously good bread! We both ordered a pasta dish, I got linguine with bolognese sauce, my wife ordered a seafood penne dish. She had originally opted for the lobster mac and cheese- but they were sold out... :-( Being from Queens and transplanted to NJ as a kid, I'm very pasta savvy. The linguine was perfectly cooked- just a little bite. The Bolognese sauce was also on-point. So many NJ pizzerias think that mashing up a meatball and adding it to a ladle of sauce is ok.... This was the real deal. Both plates had huge portions, as well. We were both slightly disappointed- no bread, no spoon, no cheese. Anthony made his way back to the table and rectified those issues.

So, that is the only reason I am going with 4 stars over 5.

This is more than throwing a bunch of junk on the walls (like the original TGI Fridays). Rather, the decor has been carefully curated with items from real factories. Take a moment before or after your meal to stroll the restaurant and explore the private dining rooms. I particularly loved the steel plate bar top made of Bethlehem Steel product, and an old working roulette wheel. The food was outstanding and generously portioned. The fried mozzarella appetizer served atop pomodoro and pesto sauce was gargantuan and delicious. You could easily share this appetizer among two people. The Beet salad was fresh and delicious with its golden beets and walnuts. For the entree, I enjoyed Cherry Pepper Pappardelle, a colorful and delicious entree that hit all the right notes. On the beverage side, an array of industrial-themed cocktails was on offer. I opted for the "American A.F." - an Old-Fashioned riff using FEW American Whiskey, Widow Jane Paradigm Rye, cherry vanilla simple syrup, and angostura bitters. It was a fantastic cocktail! For dessert, we enjoyed the sorbet - a generously portioned duo of lemon and raspberry sorbet. I also indulged in a delicious cup of Cappuccino. Rocco was an excellent server. Attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable, and fun. The food and drinks were fairly priced. I definitely will return! Suggestion to management - consider adding more vegan/vegetarian options to the menu.

    After seeing a social media post featuring the restaurant's unique industrial décor and checking…read morethe menu online beforehand, my dining companion and I made the drive up from Morristown for a 7pm Saturday dinner. We expected a moderately upscale atmosphere - with $15 cocktails and entrees ranging from $32 for pasta up to $48 for a strip steak - and we dressed accordingly. Upon our arrival at Industry, it quickly became clear that the dining room leans much more casual than we anticipated. Before even walking in to the restaurant, I passed a gentleman sitting on the curb in front of the entrance to the restaurant in a tank top, shorts, and Crocs sandals on an animated phone call. Inside, most guests were similarly dressed in t-shirts and shorts. To top it off, a diner at a neighboring table surreptitiously used a vape pen throughout her meal. I don't mean to sound overly critical of what might pass for moderately upscale dining in Sussex County, but there is definitely a noticeable disconnect between the high culinary ambitions and prices on the menu and the actual day-to-day environment in the dining room. That disconnect is a shame because we really liked the decor in the open, airy space as well as what the kitchen is trying to do here. It's obvious that they genuinely know what they're doing in the back of the house.. but the front of the house isn't as disciplined. We started with the unique Watermelon and Feta salad ($18) -- an innovative appetizer where the watermelon is vacuum-sealed to force-feed it a mildly spicy chimichurri marinade, and it was flat-out excellent. For the main course, I really enjoyed the Cherry Pepper Pappardelle ($34), cooked to a perfect al dente and loaded with sweet Italian sausage and broccolini although for my preferences, the garlic and white wine vinegar sauce could have used a little more kick. My dining companion wanted something lighter and opted for the Tuna Tartare Tacos ($23) -- four crispy wonton shells stuffed with a surprisingly generous portion of sushi-grade tuna, seaweed salad, guacamole, and harissa mayo -- and she loved them. As for the beverage program, it was... well, no pun intended, a bit mixed. My dining companion really enjoyed her Loose Screw ($15), a crisp and refreshing concoction of limoncello, mint, prosecco, and club soda. On the other hand, I was unimpressed with the American A.F. ($15), a blend of FEW American Whiskey, Widow Jane Paradigm Rye, cherry vanilla simple syrup, and Angostura bitters, which ended up tasting fairly uninspired when compared to a regular Old Fashioned. Our server, Christina, was fantastic -- friendly, hyper-aware of my dietary restriction, and spot-on with her recommendations. The kitchen's speed, however, was another story. Despite the dining room being less than half full, our starter took nearly 30 minutes to make an appearance, and another 20-25 minutes elapsed after we finished before our entrees joined the party. At the end of the day, I really respect the vision and execution coming out of the kitchen, and Christina's service was top-notch. That said, I'd give it a 3.5 star rating -- rounded down to 3 stars given the glacier-like pacing and the surreal gap between high-end menu prices and a lax (vape-friendly, even) vibe, as the execution on the floor just doesn't match what the kitchen is working so hard to achieve. If I'm in the area.. I'd give it another shot with a more grounded expectation. Pro Tip: If you're looking for a location to host an event, Industry has two private dining rooms on the main floor and a larger space downstairs available for larger groups.
