Food and service are decent, but it's a bit frustrating that the menu doesn't include protein info especially for a place called Muscle Maker Grill. The cashier had to pull it up on her phone, which really should already be clearly listed on the menu considering the clientele you're catering to. read more

I've been wanting to come here for quite some time however I'm never in the area but yesterday I happen to be in the area and I made sure that I was able to come, and the staff treated me with respect the food was amazing. The ambience was very welcoming. I just wish they had more locations closer to me. They only seem to be two locations in the state at this time but if you happen to come here, you will never be disappointed read more

I got the teriyaki stir fry (added steak) and then got another side of steak on the side. This was my first time trying muscle maker grill and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was more filling than I thought it would be, and great quality while still being healthy. Unlike traditional Chinese restaurants where you can taste the grease and salt on your food, muscle maker grill provides for a much healthier and guilt-free option that's still delicious. If you are looking for good food that you won't feel bad about eating, give muscle maker a try! read more

Got out of the gym and was craving something healthy. It's been a while since I've been to one of these and me and my gym partner were starving so everything hit just right. The staff was young, friendly, and accommodating. The place was small but it had enough seats for everyone eating dine-in. We definitely enjoyed ourselves, and I highly recommend the turkey burger wrap ! read more

I'll start by saying I'm not a health nut but since I am dieting I found out about the meal plan here and decided to try it about a month ago. Being that I work nights it's really convenient and not a bad price (5 meals for $35) and the calorie counts on the meals are all under 500 calories. The staff here including the owner are all really nice. I ordered ahead a couple times but I usually just show up and they are done within 20 minutes so that is great. The best thing about it is the food. I really like to eat and that usually doesn't include what's at muscle maker grill. But for eating healthy this food is really pretty good! My favorites are the Cajun chicken bowl ( chunks of chicken in penne with scallions tomatoes and a brown Cajun sauce) and the Arizona bowl with shrimp (shrimp, turkey bacon, scallions, brown rice with a great sauce). Not what I expected....actually really good. I've tried other bowls and salads and all are very good. Never knew healthy eating could be this tasty. Very satisfied with this Muscle Maker Grill and will definitely continue with the meal plans. They also have an App where you can get free meals and smoothies after so many purchases. read more

The best part of the meal was the chicken sandwich. The fries were a collection of scraps from throughout the day. The rice was dry even with the tiny shot of gravy they served on top. The pasta was alright but the chicken served with it was completely unappetizing. The chicken was just 4 huge chunks of chicken I couldn't cut into until I had to ask for a dull knife to cut into chicken as hard as rocks. The service was okay however. The restaurant itself looks somewhat clean. Would definitely rather go to the other location as I've never been disappointed eating there. read more

I thought this place was just fine. Not great, but decent. The portion sizes seem pretty small for the cost, and if I had known I'd have gotten an appetizer. They do have a variety of healthy food options though, which I like. I ended up ordering online and accidentally clicking the next day's date and called to correct, and they said they'd make it for that day and not the next. When I showed up, the cashier said it wasn't in the system and I was more upset than I should have been because it was the end of a day on Friday and there was a done more traffic than usual and it was not my day. But when the cashier talked to another employee, it turns out it had been made! I was so happy I didn't have to wait longer. I had the turkey chili which I thought was pretty good but I tried my boyfriend's sesame chicken teriyaki pasta and thought it was kind of bland. Of course the next day they called me and said they made my food again, even though I had been told they'd cancel out the Saturday order since I said I meant Friday, but they didn't. Since I wasn't able to edit it online and there seemed to be a communication problem, I think there could be a better/more organized system there. I would be willing to come back to try the wraps which I consider more "lunchy" but the entrees seem a little more hit or miss. read more

I found this Muscle Maker Grill on here under delivery because I was way too lazy to leave home for food. I was surprised that I was actually able to order directly from this app and was able to enter all my information even payment. I was able to see their menu enter any special requests and directions for the driver who was bringing the delivery. We order two premium burgers and a lean and mean cheeseburger salad, which were great. My only comment would be that the dressing should have been a bit more, but maybe I should have just added for an extra one. The only reason why I am not giving them five stars is because the order took about 40mins to get to my house which I thought was a bit too long. None the less I will order from here again. read more

I was being semi-annoying with substations and not once did the guy taking my order seem annoyed or anything. He was just like don't worry, I got this. Food comes out and the portion was so good! The chicken was not dry at all - unlike other MMG. Perfectly cooked. Good playlist too if you in and eat!! Place is clean. PS - the chairs have dumbbells in the back of them! So cool.

Decent, healthy fast food. Muscle Maker is alright, but a bit expensive for what you're actually getting. It's marketed as "healthy" since the nutritional information is fully listed online and on menu.The setups are similar at each location. Order at the register and they'll bring out your food. I usually get a wrap when I go, and this time I had the Chicken Caesar wrap. It was OK, but I prefer the MMG signature wrap. read more

Everytime I place an order I buy food for myself and family but when u have nasty people answering the phone it's just not the way to treat a customer that buys over $40-$50 of food and tip on top of that when I buy food.

The guacamole is plentiful and tasty. Also the salsa was delish too. My table patrons didn't like the clam chowder. They said it was too salty. For the mains we ordered the roasted chicken, hot chicken sandwich and the Cajun seafood alfredo The Hot chicken was divine and huge. You won't be disappointed with that one. Good amount of spice. The roasted chicken was lemon rosemary jus was delicious as well. I ordered the pasta which was supposed to come with jumbo shrimp and andouille sausage.

Still, no sausage in the pasta. They apologized and made the sausage and added it to the pasta. I wish that was the only issue. The menu states that it's a cajun Alfredo sauce and hate to say but this was just bland. Not flavorful at all. 2 waiters recommended it but I'm not sure why. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5.

We got our soup and shrimp cocktail as starters but literally 3 minutes later, our entrees were served to the table. Our entrees got cold while we tried to finish our starters. Please look to have the servers better time the serving of entrees AFTER the starters are finished. I had the New England Clam Chowder and the Prime rib. The clam chowder was tasty but lacked clams. They added andouille sausage to the chowder to give it a nice tasty twist but this should not have taken away from the amount of clams expected in a clam chowder. Prime rib was a good thick cut. But served warm and almost at room temperature. Not exactly how I would like my prime rib. Shoe string fries were tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Clam Chowder and Shrimp Cocktail as starters, followed by Cajun Sea Pasta and a bunch of side dishes - southern Coke slaw, black beans and rice and the loaded baked potato. Shrimps in the shrimp cocktail was good sized shrimp topped with old bay seasoning. The pasta was seasoned just right, very tasty and delicious. Cole slaw was crunchy which meant the Cole slaw was freshly made and not sitting in the sauce for too long. Loaded baked potato was of good size and baked to the right softness. Black beans and rice was the only side dish that was a bit too salty but went great when mixed with the baked potato. Overall, we were impressed with Angelina's services, friendliness of the staff and quality of the foods.

We were greeted by our server who was very sweet and friendly. I ordered the a hot tea to start. For my main, I had the Farmer's Omelette with a side of home fries and wheat toast. The omelette has fresh vegetables and was very delicious. The home fries were REAL potatoes and seasoned very well. Portions are pretty generous and dishes are reasonably priced. Great little breakfast/brunch spot in Clifton. Will definitely be back if I am in the area!

This one pound mozzarella stick definitely fulfilled that criteria. It was so gigantic it was almost like getting a workout in just to lift it. The outside was heavily breaded with bread crumbs and the top was sprinkled with parmesan cheese and chopped scallions. Even the dipping cup was supersized to accommodate the diameter of the stick! Typically, I would have posted until after my I finished my oversized food compilation project. However, it's being posted early because The Brookdale is permanently closing its doors.

Seating is first-come, first-served, and guests are placed based on availability, which keeps things fair and efficient even during busy times. The tables for two are intimate and cozy, perfect for conversation, though they can become a bit tight when ordering several dishes at once. That said, the staff was attentive and checked in often enough to clear plates and make room, which made the experience much more comfortable. The dessert menu is separate, allowing guests to enjoy their meal at an unhurried pace before deciding on something sweet. Their beverage offerings are thoughtfully presented. Herbal tea options include green tea, chamomile, and English tea (Stash), and the tea is served in a container that provides two full servings. The cappuccino is well made and served with a sugar crystal stick, adding a distinct old-world charm that enhances the café's European feel. I regret not asking for an additional order of Turkish coffee so that's a regret . What we ordered: * Greek Salad - $18.50 * Cappuccino - $6.80 * Herbal Tea - $6.00 * Uštipci - $17.25 * Musaka - $22.95 * Šnicla (Cutlet Sandwich) - $20.75 * 2 Diet Cokes - $8.00 The musaka is a baked dish and does take about 25 minutes to prepare, as it's made fresh with baked eggs, seasoned beef, and sliced potatoes layered on top. The wait is well worth it, resulting in a hearty, comforting dish that tastes authentically homemade. The Šnicla (cutlet sandwich) arrived beautifully presented on a wooden board, adding a rustic, elevated touch that matched the restaurant's aesthetic. Mom felt it lacked in seasoning but she Didnt leave any crumbs . The Uštipci were a standout--served with feta and honey, generously portioned, and so plentiful that we happily took some home. We were too full for dessert this time, but it's absolutely on the list for a return visit. Due to winter weather, we couldn't explore the back of the restaurant, but even from the main dining area, the decor is undeniably charming and full of character. Overall, Cafe Bubamara offers authentic flavors, generous portions, attentive service, and a cozy, old-world atmosphere that makes it a place worth revisiting.

As I entered the restaurant, I was impressed with the attractive interior and even more so impressed with their viral coffee bar. With so many flavors to choose ranging from pistachio to coconut cloud, I decided to choose the strawberry matcha latte (and it was hard to make a decision). When server Ana placed this iced beverage in front of me, it was love at first sip. The appearance alone instantly caught my eye. Its red, white, and green colors are a perfect fit on a hot summer day. Unfortunately, I had to stir this drink for maximum flavor which altered the appearance; thankfully, I took the photo shot before I started stirring. The ice cubes in this drink made it difficult to stir with the plastic straw, but I was offered a spoon. Although I felt there was a tad bit too much ice in this drink, the combination of strawberry puree, milk, and premium matcha was very refreshing. For an up charge, I added strawberry whipped foam to enhance the flavor even more. When I next return to explore their other signature lattes, I will remember to request less ice which will simply the stirring. #yasmeenmediterranean #yasmeencresskill #strawberrymatchalatte

We sat in the front dining area where there was a large TV, good for watching the game (in our case, the world cup). The place was clean and server was friendly. We ordered 3 lunch specials that included the fattoush (house salad), mouhamarra, labneh, shish tawook (grilled chicken with rice pilaf), kufta kebab, and mint lemonade. Honestly for food, my average rating for everything would be closer to 3.5/5. The pita bread that came with the table was room temp and served in a plastic bag. I would have liked it to be at least warmed up a little before being brought out. The sides and dips were average. They lacked flavor and depth in my opinion- the labneh was simply plain, sour yogurt without any other flavor. The mouhamarrah was also average, it was a bit spicy and that was about it. Standouts from our table that were very well executed were the lentil soup, shish tawook, and yasmeen fries. The lentil soup came out steaming hot, and was very nicely seasoned. I liked that it came with crispy pieces to add texture. The shish tawook surprised me as it didnt look super special, but it was actually very good! The chicken was juicy, fell apart easily, and had that nice grill flavor. It went well with the rice and vegetables. The yasmeen fries were hot and crispy, the garlic seasoning was a very nice touch. I would've liked if my mint lemonade had more mint flavor in it but perhaps that was my bad for not ordering the slush version. The portions were pretty generous, 19.95 is a fair price for all the food we received. Overall, we had a nice experience and am glad we got to try the place out.

We immediately placed the order for the lamb makluba, knowing that it would take about 45 minutes to prepare. We also ordered the tabouleh, Za'atar & Cheese, the Olive Bistro Spread, and mixed grill for 4. The Za'atar & Cheese was like a pizza, minus tomato sauce. The Olive Bistro Spread came with hummus, baba ghanouj, labneh, muhammara, two cheese rolls, and two fried kibbeh, accompanied by warm pita bread. It was a lot of food, my favorite dip was the labneh. Mix Grill for 4 came with six kofta kebabs, two shish kebabs, and four chicken kebabs, served alongside tender beef shawarma, grilled vegetables, house rice, and warm spicy bread. It was a lot of food. Some meats were overcooked though, and I prefer other mixed grills I've gotten at other Arabic restaurants. My favorite item was the lamb makluba, which had a seasoned rice with extremely tender bone in lamb chunks. I'd get just the makluba and maybe an appetizer next time so I'd have way less leftovers.
