My family has been coming here since the 1950/60s. Hadn't been here in a while. The place hasn't changed much in a good way. The owner is very nice and friendly. The food way spot on and the all the way sauce was delicious as always. Of course we got a large jar on the way out. The food came out nice and hot!! They play 60s/70s music which is perfect. There is also ice cream available as well. Their hours can be spotty so just check the sign on the door. So glad they are still around. read more

McCobb's Family Restaurant - Three all the way dogs and one all the way burger with drinks - Burgers Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Had the Texas Weiner and it was amongst the best I've had. The sauce was so good I got a jar to go. I was suprised of the negative reviews here but it's all complaints about the prices which I find absurd because prices are posted and nobody is forcing you to pay that price. Don't order knowing the price then biotch online giving a place a negative review when you had the choice to purchase or not. Not right to do that to someone's business. I'd go back anytime. read more

McCobb's Family Restaurant - Texas Wiener. Delicious!! - Burgers Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

The chile sauce is so good I have been craving it for many years after growing up eating it at least once a week. They were very helpful and worked with me on getting the chili sauce and the wrapping was done very well. Thank you McCobb's read more

The best hot dogs I have ever had. Been going there for 50 years ant they never disappoint! The dogs are custom made, the buns are custom made and the sauce is out of this world. Its not really chili I don't think but it is very unique and downright delicious. A lot of though and experimentation went into these dogs and it is revealed in every last bite. The french fries are always perfect and the milk shakes are awesome. The service is great and the place has indoor and outdoor seating. Love this place and the people who own it are awesome too. You have to go there! 2 all the way, fries and a milk shake! read more

The team from the documentary "One all the Way" paid a visit to the legendary McCobb's ( since 1940 ) today for their Texas Weiners. They did not disappoint! The German Schmaltz dogs were delicious with the perfect snap. Their famous tomato based Texas Weiner sauce was a perfect compliment and is available jarred to take home. You have to save a little room for their delicious homemade ice cream. They have a very pleasant outdoor seating area along the river to enjoy . Check McCobb's out. You'll be glad you did! read more

I really feel bad for this place to have such a bad overall score and reviews when they actually have high quality great food. Maybe people think that the decor is outdated or that it looks like a diner so it should be cheap or something. But it's not like you don't know what you are paying when you go in and look at a board to order...the price is right there! If you don't like it you should leave and go somewhere "cheap." Now that I got that out let's get to the food. My boyfriend had a burger which was really good and he has been here before and loves the dill sauce. It's really delicious we were savoring every bit left in the cup. I had the fish and chips. It was a pretty big portion and I couldn't stop eating it. Really enjoyed everything. My tip here is that if you look at the menu and think it's too expensive to pay for quality food, nice service and a clean restaurant then just leave but stop giving this place bad reviews for this stupid reason! read more

The owner is so friendly, and the ice cream is the most amazing, flavorful ice cream. The strawberry milkshake was the absolute best I have ever had. Thick and creamy. Oh and the hot fudge sundae, oh my heavens!! Please go enjoy yourself! read more

Ok I can't believe I never reviewed here, I have been coming here since I was a kid, over 30 years. This is my go to hot dog joint - best chili sauce in NJ. Food is always great, service is usually friendly. Have a nice outdoor seating area and a boat launch onto the river right there which is free to use. As others have mentioned the costs have gotten out of control. This place is 5 stars for me, but 2 chili dogs, small fries and drink for $17.50??? That just seems wasaaaay too high. I'll always go here to feed the dog craving, just not as often. read more

This is my go to place for fried clam strips. I almost never eat them but one Friday in Lent my friend wanted to go for a burger so I had the only fish meal on the menu that had that magic word- FRIED! They are well cooked. The portion size is good too. Fries are acceptable - nothing special. The shop is clean, with plenty of parking. Overall, I enjoy eating here. Lots of chatter about cost on yelp. I can see what they mean because we just had 2 sodas, an order of clam strips, a small fries and a large bowl of veggie chili (really good ). Price was $23. Definitely not inexpensive. However, the food was good, portion size fair and the tables were clean. We will go back but you probably have to decide for yourself if the prices represent good value . Recommended. read more

Husband & I ordered lunch from here this past Sunday. We both got the quarter pound cheeseburgers and an order of the cajun fries for pick-up - came up to $23 roughly. Order was ready in 15 minutes. Gotta say it was very organized for a pickup order - no mess like when you order from some places. Burgers were delicious & the dill dipping sauce for the fries was unique and yummy. Prices are pretty decent for the quality of food. read more

So I have lived in Wayne for about 2 years. I have passed by this place a couple of times and thought it was an ice cream store. One day, I saw a sign that said they sell Mr. Cupcake cupcakes so we decided to drop by and get some when we were meeting some friends. Its about 11:30 in the morning and I am starving at this point. I go in and I see the menu and my mouth is watering! BBQ pork, BBQ chicken, Texas weiners, chilli, etc.! Since we were late, we couldnt eat there. But I vowed that I would come back. Well I did go back and I had the pulled pork, pulled chicken sammich and the texas weiners. All really good! The hot dogs had this chilli on it and it was fantastic. I cant believe I never ate here and I have been in Wayne for 2 years. All those missed sammiches... I will definately keep going back and I am also wating for the weather to get warmer for some home made ice cream as well. read more

Two stars because I actually really enjoyed my chili dog and the service was friendly enough, BUT... I have to agree with all the others here. My order was one burger -- medium rare (came out like a hockey puck), two medium fries -- one with a side of gravy (came saltless), two all the way hot dogs and one chili dog. You can imagine my surprise when the lady at the counter told me my total was $45.07! If the food was fantastic, I might... MIGHT be able to justify it, but it really wasn't all that. What more? I waited over a half hour total (and 10 extra minutes when they put it on a tray after I had asked for my order to go). Truly disappointed & had hopes that this place would be more like Hot Grill in Clifton. read more

Let me tell u my disapoitment when i orderd 2 shakes it cost me $19 dolars only thing guy did is blended icecream and that is it it is i think medium size or small size and they chared me $19 for 2 shakes i will never go there again they are riping off people i don't know how much is food right there but if 2 little shakes are $19 dollars. I am very disapointed in this restaurant and i will never come here again read more

As you can see from previous reviews, my biggest and foremost issue with this place is the pricing. You don't get what you pay for and you would be better off going to many other places if you are looking for value. That being said, we ordered two bacon cheeseburgers (1 small and 1 regular) a small fry and two sodas and our total was a few cents under $30. That is unacceptable given the quality of the food. The fries were straight up McCain's kringle cuts with shredded cheese on them, the burgers were boiled in a bag, not grilled, no char, no flavor. Honestly, I would have rather made our food at home. I will say the produce was lovely, very nice and fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce and decent homemade pickles. The only saving grace for this place is the staff is excellent, friendly and attentive, but that being said, it's not enough to justify the cost of the food here. I will go elsewhere for my burgers and will not be returning. read more

$13.75 for a Ice Cream Shake with Vanilla Ice Cream, Chocolate Syrup, and Milk, and Three Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream on a Cone with Sprinkles. Average price at Curly's or Ice Cream Station $8. You want to love and cheer for this place for nostalgia. It's a classic. Been around for years. The girls working there work hard and have a great attitude and approach to their jobs. But all it reminds me of after a charge like that is the Owner in Major League (the movie). Trying to tank the team to pack it up and move down south. You don't try to make the most amount of money on each purchase. You make money on volume and overwhelming demand and then demand higher prices because of quality. Shape up or hit the road. read more

Food was way over priced for what you we got. French onion soup was disgusting and the two that ordered it didn't get past the first bite. The woman working the cashier was either new or had never worked a day in her life. Screwed up the order twice and I had to keep going up to ask where the food was. At one point they left it sitting on the counter for a few minutes. Finally when we "finished" the woman comes up and doesn't politely ask if we're done, instead looks at us and goes "someone comes pay for the food now" and walks away. Not how was everything? Are you all finished? None of that. Place was completely empty too. Maybe if they were packed some of this could be overlooked. But not when we were the only 4. Also $95 for 3 cheeseburgers, 2 fries, 2 French onion soups is ridiculous. read more

Mccobbs was great. Fresh burgers with counter service. Chili Sauce awesome. Sweet potato fries. Next time will get the geloti brand ice cream from Paterson. Was about 10 bucks will go back. read more

This place is great decor is beautiful the staff is friendly the food is greatThey have Gelotti ice ice cream which is awesome it's a great little family restaurant read more

While their hot dogs and sauce are very good the cost is absolutely ridiculous for what you get. A hot dog costs the same as a full pack of quality hot dogs at the supermarket. It's inconceivable to me to spend $40 on dinner for two people at McCobb's. read more

I have been going to McCobbs for over 50 years. Although they are on the expensive side the food is made to order and always fresh. They may have the best fries in N.J. they only come in one size small but it is more than enough. I agree with other patrons it is also my favorite chili sauce in the state and I have been to them all. Try it out. read more

I hope the owners of McCobb's read reviews. We used to go there all the time and the food was good and reasonably priced. We hadn't been in awhile so we figured what the heck let's go tonight. We ordered 3 dogs all the way, 1 small French fry, 2 vanilla milk shakes. I couldn't believe it when the girl said $34.80. WAY OVERPRICED. I'd be surprised if they stay in business. For another $30.00 or so you can go across the street and have a delicious meal prepared by a real chef in a beautiful restaurant. read more

I'm not a cheap girl. I like a bargain like anyone else, but I also happily pay the price when I'm looking for quality. This place needs to get the message. I'm not the first, second or even tenth to note that the prices here are a little dear for what you get. What do you get? Cheap quality dogs, burgers with absolutely no taste, standard frozen fries without any trace of salt, and yes..their ice cream seems great. It's Gelotti's (from Totowa) but we didn't partake. Know why? Because I didn't have any money left after spending all of it on tasteless burgers, lame hot dogs and salt-less frozen fries! It's no wonder I was the only person in there. If the food was amazing, I would gladly pay the price! But it's not! So I won't! First and last time. Sorry, guys..get the net McCobbs! PS $2 extra unannounced charge for slice of onion on my burger is not okay. read more

We stopped in for a big juicy old school burger and crispy fries, and in addition we got a nice surprise, glad I didn't go to Starbucks first, I got to try McCobbs' new line of espresso drinks. I had a super hot and smooth Bristot Italian caramel machiato. Dean explained the whole science behind the beans and honestly I usually hit up Starbucks a few times a day, but I might switch it up as this was really smooth and I enjoyed it! The beans, preparation, cups are spared no expense. Nice addition! read more

McCobb's Family Restaurant - Caramel macchiato? Wow! Bristol espresso, wonderfully hot and smooth, skipped a trip to Starbucks. Nice addition, Dean. Thank you! - Burgers Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

I am giving this review because everyone is saying to much $$. Well the hot dogs "Texas Wieners " are made just for here.Also very fresh food all the time the chop meat for the hamburgers is always fresh never frozen and the dill sauce for the Cajun fries OMG amazing. A diner will cost you just as much. Their are no waitresses but they always hand deliver the food to the table. Free refills on soda and a nice throw back and nostalgic. If you are in the neighborhood I highly suggest this place for the best hot dogs ATW "all the way" and juicy burgers or trying to stay healthy they have grilled chicken sandwiches that are delicious. Yes it is a little pricey however it is well worth it. Also you can eat outside right on the river that's stocked with fish or inside and they will bring to you outside throw a tip and the everyone's happy. read more

Nice little family run restaurant. It's close to a river and has outside seating. We had fish and chips and really enjoyed it. Reminded us of England, especially because it was drizzling outside while we ate the fish and chips with vinegar and tartar sauce! read more

I was gonna let it go w/o a review but my lunch a couple of days ago deserves note. Driving they Wayne on an errand, decided to stop. Haven't been here in years. Went in at lunchtime, only a couple of other folks here...greeted by gent at counter very nicely. Ordered a 1/3 lb Bacon Cheese burger, fries and a birch beer. Now I probably should have added it up in my head but I did not. Total came to $17.24. That's a boatload of dough for what I was served. Burger seemed small, bacon was low quality, fries OK. Burger doesn't even come with lettuce & tomato. My mistake coming here. It will never happen again. read more

I love McCobb's! My husband and I go every weekend. Their prices are a little higher but it's all real, fresh food. Happy to pay more for real food that tastes good. Restaurant is always clean and most of the staff is friendly - they're usually kids so once in a while you'll get one that needs further refinement, but that's to be expected. In all McCobb's deserves more stars. People just expect so much for so little these days. read more

I am giving this the biggest thumbs down, only because of the price. Apparently, we the customers, are paying for the free boat launch out back. I cannot think of any justification for a plain hamburger and a small fry to be over $11.00. The burger was $6.99 and the small fry was $4.25. Seriously? I do not even pay that in Manhattan. Atleast throw the fries in for free, or katsup! Even a napkin would be nice. Unless you have endless amounts of money, I highly suggest to stay clear of this place. I am glad to see others mention the price in other reviews so I do not seem chintzy. I feel so violated that $20 did not even buy me my dinner this evening. No wonder no one was in the restaurant, they are all probably at their 2nd jobs to pay off their debt from eating here. In the words of yelp "eek! me thinks not" read more

Good place for lunch, tried it earlier this week with a friend. Small place but good food. Something like a diner but no waitresses, order at the counter and they call you when your food is ready. They advertise their barbecue and their home-made ice cream. I liked their pulled pork sandwich. My friend had a roast beef sandwich. We both had their Cajun fries. Very good food but not exceptional. Worth a try if you are in the neighborhood I picked up a bottle of their Chili Sauce (since 1940) but have not opened it yet.. I will try most anything once - if I can eat it :) read more

Food is delicious, but that's about it. The prices were absurdly high for what we got (16 for a chicken ceasar? Seriously?), took almost 40 mins to get our order in an empty restaurant and when it did arrive, it was wrong, and the person working the front desk messed up the bill four times. My group really wanted to like this place, especially since some of us have been coming here for almost twenty years, but this was not cool. read more

I don't really get this place. Advertises itself as a family restaurant, but has 80s arena rock music blasting on the speakers (MORE than a FEELING...). Most clients are in their 50s-60s-70s, so I can't imagine that being appealing to them. The prices are bit high for the fare and amenities provided. E.g. $6 for a 1/3 lb cheeseburger, plus $4.50 for a reg order of fries, plus 2.29 for a drink, and we're talking $14 bucks for lunch. Comparing that to the average diner's burger deluxe and drink, I would say that's a bit high. In any case I would say they need some help with branding. I have passed there every day for the last 7 years and never thought they specialized in 'roadhouse' type food, with pulled pork sandwiches, deep fried hot dogs, etc. "Family Restaurant" sounds like the fare is made up of things like meatloaf with brown gravy with a side of mashed potatoes, like a Bob Evans restaurant. The kind of mundane place a fortysomething couple would take their parents. read more

Rip off rip off rip off rip off rip off rip off rip off. Two cheeseburgers two milkshakes and a french fry cost $50 at this shitty ass place

Yes it is expensive but their all-the way hot dogs are worth every penny. Highest quality ingredients and it's so clean.

I was on my way back from dinner the other night and stopped to get my family ice cream. I was kind of surprised to see that it was $16 for a milkshake and a small cup of ice cream but what happened when they made it was even more shocking. The woman who made the milkshake Over filled the cup and proceeded to use her hand to clean the excess from my cup- she then licked it off her fingers in front of me. She poured my $10 milkshake into a small cup and saved the rest for herself as I saw her drinking it when I got in the car. Yeah.. never coming back here again. read more

McCobb's USED TO BE my family go-to place for chili dogs and fries (we're going back to the 70's here) when Preakness was the only shopping mall around Northern NJ. I ate countless chili dawgs sitting on the redwood picnic tables out back. Fast forward 35 years. The food is so outrageously overpriced as to become a running joke. "Do you want to get something good and cheap, it should we go to McCobb's?" Seriously- prepare to spend a minimum of $30 for two and find yourself hungry when you leave. PS- the chili sauce ain't nothin' like it used to be. read more

The people were nice, but the prices are an absolute rip off like everyone else seems to agree. We stopped in here because the place looked cool. For a cheeseburger with sauce, small french fry and grilled chicken sandwich with small sodas we paid $33. We left starving and disappointed in the food. read more

I used to love the burgers here. I know everthing is messed up now, but...what happened? Instead of a delicious, juicy half pound cheese burger, I got two store-bought quality (think frozen, pretty formed) patties thrown onto a bunch, absolutely charred to hockey puck consistency. And no cheese. We're talking worse than McDonald's. Nasty. I only gave more than one star because I has some good memories of this place. read more

I just paid $15 for two hotdogs and a small french fry. If I were on vacation at a resort, or getting a lap dance, or perhaps if the hotdogs and french fries had been mind blowing Lee wonderful, I wouldn't mind paying $15 for two hot dogs and french fries. The all the way sauce taste like sweet catch up with some hot pepper in it, the dogs were large and not bad in and of themselves, but five dollars a piece is crazy. And five dollars for a small french fries should be illegal. What possible rationale could there be for charging five dollars for frozen freaking french fries? It's just insulting. I will absolutely never go near that place again. And will caution friends and neighbors to stay away as well. And that's what my $15 gets you, McCobbs read more
