Jumbo Wings
 hot Chipotle
Ron M.

This is a local joint with a very welcoming feel and staff. Our server, Suzanne, was helpful with the menu and has a great personality. The wings were large, crispy and juicy. The chicken BLT wrap was filled with well cooked grilled chicken, one with bacon one with avacado - two happy campers!

On our way back from Woodbury Commons, we were looking for a nice place to grab a meal not too far off Rt 287. Thanks to Yelp, we found Mack's. Pompton Lakes isn't a town I've been in before, so it was pretty cool driving up Wannaque Ave, their Main Street. Mack's is an historic site, it was the original home of the firehouse. Very cool, hometown restaurant. My wife, stepson, and I, found the food very good and reasonably priced. We started off with the spinach dip, then entrees of crab cakes sandwiches, and the Monterey chicken sandwich. Topping that off with a couple of cold beers was perfect! One side note I have to mention is the bathrooms...they were beautiful! Rather than paper towels, there are wash cloths. I thought that was unique and really nice! Parking very easy in the back. I would definitely return!

PROS: This place was clean with nice tasting food on a good variety menu with decent prices. Service was fast and the atmosphere was very comforting. CONS: Only meter street parking and one person bathroom OVERALL: This is my go-to spot whenever I'm in the area, and i suggest for you to try it out too

Blue cheese and mozzarella bacon cheeseburger with herb aïoli and well-done fries.

I was in the mood for a really good burger and searched online for about an hour checking reviews before landing on Mack's. My hubby and I had been there before but it's not that close, so we don't get there often. I had a burger with blue cheese, sautéed onions, bacon and herb aioli. It was FANTASTIC. Service was great. We'll be going back!

Fish tacos
Annie A.

Mack's is a nice place in the middle of town with nice ambiance, good music and vibe. Weekly specials are usually pretty good. Really like the nachos for appetizers. The fish tacos are pretty nice, you get two with a small side of fries. Burgers are pretty good and come with a large side of fries. Good place to stop in for a drink or to have a meal that's local to the area. Excellent service and staff.

Hanger steak.

Best bar dinner around. If you want a spot at the bar, get there by 6 pm or you'll likely be out of luck.

D'Boathaus was the perfect lakeside brunch spot for my sister's bachelorette weekend on Greenwood…read moreLake. We rented an Airbnb nearby and wanted a fun Sunday brunch with a beautiful view, and this restaurant absolutely delivered. We made an 11 AM reservation and were glad we arrived before the crowds started rolling in. They offered both a featured brunch menu and an extensive drink menu with lots of options for the group. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the meal. She even took a table photo for us and later noticed us struggling to take a group picture outside after brunch -- she actually came outside to take photos for us, which was such a thoughtful touch and really went above and beyond for such a special occasion. The atmosphere was also so welcoming. The locals were incredibly kind, and one woman even bought our table a bottle of champagne after hearing we were celebrating a bride-to-be. It made the whole experience feel extra memorable. As someone with a gluten allergy, I really appreciated that they offered gluten-free options, including gluten-free toast. I had the spinach and feta omelet with home fries, and everything was delicious. My sister is a huge Eggs Benedict fan and loved their version as well. The location right on Greenwood Lake is beautiful. They have dock space for people arriving by boat, plus outdoor seating that would be amazing on a nice summer day. There are also two parking lots on either side of the restaurant, which made parking easy for us, although I could see it filling up quickly during peak summer weekends. The prices were definitely on the higher end, but honestly, for a nice restaurant directly on the lake with great service and atmosphere, it felt worth it. I'm already looking forward to coming back next time we're in the area!

We started with the steamed vegetable dumplings which were amazing even without a dipping sauce which they give you two selections. Next we had the turkey flatbread which also was amazing. Their smash burger was exceptionally good! Finally, the best Cuban since a Miami trip that I have ever had. Five stars are not enough for this place. Note, Friday at 3 pm the place was packed.

10/5 Stars!! We…read morerecently had my Mom's 60th birthday party at the Railyard Tavern. I worked with Bob in coordinating everything. He was very accommodating and quick to reply to email. He was a big help in answering any question I had. Our party was roughly 25 people and we reserved the back room for the party. The back room was big enough for all of us to fit comfortably without it feeling cramped. We ordered the apps ahead of time and were told that they would be ready at 5:30. Sure enough, at 5:30 all of the apps came out and they were a big hit. Everything was fantastic. We got some large pizzas, nachos, mozzarella sticks, potstickers, and calamari. There was practically nothing left. The entree's were great and came without delay. I didn't hear a single complaint from any of the guests. I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about our waiter for the night, Alan. I don't think I've ever seen someone be so on top of things before. He handled the whole room essentially by himself and somehow it never seemed like there was a single hiccup the whole night. He was beyond excellent. He was such a good communicator and kept me in the loop with timelines and was overall very organized. He played a significant role in the night going as well as it did. My whole family, and most importantly my mom, had such a wonderful night. And I have Bob, Alan, and the rest of the staff to thank for that.

It's been awhile since I've been here, but stopped by today for happy hour. The bartender…read moreremembered me and my drink order (red sangria). And they played awesome music too. Thank you! As much as things change I am glad Rail Yard is the same! Hope to be back sooner rather than later!

We had a cocktail party for about 35 people at high tops and it was excellent (plenty of room for dancing, etc) The food was delicious, prices are very reasonable and the staff were great! I highly recommend having any kind of party there! I can't say enough about Erin who was the event manager. She worked with me for months making sure that everything is going to be perfect. I'm sure I was driving her crazy at several points but her patience was exceptional and her management & organization skills are incredible! She also is a tech wiz (at least compared to me) and helped me set up a playlist for the party on a Bluetooth system and a video loop of photos of my husband to play on the TVs. She was there the whole night along with a bartender and runner and everything was as smooth as can be. I was totally relaxed knowing that she was taking care of all the details! Thank you so much, Erin! The party would not have been a terrific success without you! Definitely check out River for your next party!
