Interesting small restaurant and takeout.. Ordered my basic burger no cheese sorry no pic.. Beautiful presentation, nice bun. That is a little bit different. Enough meat to fill an oversized bun. Tasty, not the best hamburger i've ever had.But at the price, a great value and I will definitely go back.. The mix with the chinese food, it's interesting.Edit looks like everything is homemade read more

Burgers here are fresh made to order and the size of the it is massive. For kids, half a burger is more than enough. You can combo it up with fries and a drink. There is lots of variety and variations to choose from and there's plenty of seating. The food comes out fast and the staff are pleasant to deal with. Also not only can you order burgers and fries here, you can also get your basic Chinese food as well. read more

This establishment needs to be closed, the food was not thoroughly cooked. I ordered a chicken wrap and the chicken was raw on the inside. I would never return nor recommend to anyone. SHUT DOWN! I will say the outside looks very nice. read more

I don't recommend this place, because is very dirty. The windows, tables, bathrooms everything there is dirty.

The food was decent at an acceptable price. The buns were delicious, though the beef was not of the highest quality, the price does reflect that. And the French fries were very good. Though the ambience is very casual, I admire the lady behind the counter who provided a warm smile and looked to be working hard to make an honest living. I feel like she is a good person and deserves to be successful. read more

Nova Burger Grill and Cafe - B1. Nova Classic B11. Pineapple, Bacon 'n BBQ - Burgers Near Me - Little Ferry, New Jersey

Went to Nova burger for some post gym protein with my good friend, Jabriel J. It's a small spot tucked into the back of Little Ferry. It has its own parking lot which is convenient. I ordered the gyro burger with curly fries. It was a surprisingly large burger. The flavor of the gyro meat was a bit overpowering, I could barely taste the burger until I added a bit of salt. The sauces they have available are pretty good too. Prices are fair, about $11 total for my entire meal. read more

Phenomenal 1/2 lb burger on a homemade bun. Cooked to order and excellent fries. Dining room was spotless. Would recommend anytime.

Outstanding food and even better service! Some added side benefits: - beautiful gardening / landscaping - high chair for toddlers Note: the portions were very generous, which was great for us adults, but there wasn't a kids menu. read more

There is nothing about this place that says they feature Mexican food. Maybe they used to in the past. Rather it should be called Nova Burger and Chinese Cuisine. In addition to burgers they sell lo main, beef and broccoli, fried rice, and a pretty full chinese food menu. They have a variety of burger entrees on the menu. Seemed promising. I asked if I could have my burger prepared medium well. I was told yes. I was disappointed when I saw my burger was not onlywell done, it was a burger pattie. This was not a freshly prepared, seasoned burger, rather a previously frozen unseasoned burger pattie and was totally underwhelming. Edited to include: from looking at previous pics, it looks like they used to serve real beef burgers. I instead recieved an unseasoned, previously frozen, burger pattie. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese burger. The fried egg was overcooked. My fried ordered fried onions on her burger. She recieved canned fried onions; not fresh onions fried on a grill. Underwhelming. One plus is the place is cute and clean. We both ordered lettuce buns and recieved large, fresh lettuce pieces w our burgers. Neither of us recieved pickles and that was a disappointment as well. read more

Burgers definitely did not disappoint, can't wait to be back! Seems family owned, really kind staff and reasonably fast for the size of these burgers. 10/10 experience, happy to find this hole in the wall spot so close to my area! read more

Great Burgers overall. A bit out of the box thinking with also offering chinese food. Great and tasty burgers specially for under $11 dollars for a combo with fries and sodas. A must go for a quick tasty burger . read more

Visited for an early lunch and they were just getting started. The location was pretty easy to find, but it's right on an awkward intersection. They have a some parking spots available, but it's not a big lot. Think they forgot to turn on the heat, so the place was completely freezing. I could see my breath even when I was inside. They realized 30 minutes later and finally turned on the heat. Ordered the classic burger special that came with fries and drink. Threw an extra egg on as well. Burger came out really quick and surprisingly was cooked perfectly medium. Size was the burger was huge as indicated by other reviews. Everything was fresh. Seasoning was a bit lacking and I had to add quite a bit of salt and pepper to it. Would help tremendously if they seasoned their patties. This place has some potential because of the value. They also deliver locally as well. Seems like they still need to work some kinks out on their routine though. Will check back the next time I get burger craving again. read more

I wanted to love it... but I just couldn't. While I only tried one variation of their burger here, I felt the meat lacked any seasoning that would make it exceptional. A good blend would allow the fat to render better and taste better. Instead I felt so underwhelmed with the burger choice that I craved one of the other fast food chains instead. My recommendation is try to make smaller patties, do a different blend (chuck, short rib, 80/20) and see what makes the difference in quality. read more

Ambiance/Decor/Atmosphere: Smaller cafe, nice exposed brick behind the counter, a little trendy, and a little industrial. Simplistic but interesting. Noise/sound level: Mild to medium sound level that won't deter your conversation. Menu: Focused on burgers, dogs, sandwiches, and shakes. Medium sized menu. Owner said they have plans to offer even more variety. Service: Warm, polite, friendly, quick. Food: Ordered two Bacon Nova JR burgers because menu said patties were two ounces, so assumed these were sliders. What I received was two normal burgers with four ounce patties. My coworker ordered a normal Nova Classic. Bruh, these burgers are gigantic, bigger than pretty much anywhere else considering the type of restaurant. Normal patty is hand made, cooked to medium, the JR patty seems to be something like a Pat LaFrieda Roadhouse style patty. Pretty tasty but maybe not the best. They offer a variety of sauces too. Bar: N/A Price: The JR burger was $4.75, and again, it was the size of a normal burger, so value is in customer's favor. Overall: The woman behind the counter either owns, or used to own Bachi 197, and the menu reflects concepts and ideas from Black Rebel that used to be across the street from Bachi. But they also offer intriguing different options. Will definitely return more. read more

Saw that this new burger spot opened up close to work, it was pretty packed for being new. The staff was very nice but very unorganized, not knowing who ordered what (expected for a new restaurant). They have some interesting burgers, I stuck to the bacon egg and cheese burger. I wish you had a choice of how to get it done, it was a little over cooked, but the bacon was amazing, and the egg was just runny enough to soak into the meat. The burgers are also huge, and the bun is soft and fresh. I will be back to see how they improve. read more

Burgers and Chinese food! Wouldnt expect the quality to be decent when they have so much on their menu. But I was surprised. Its better than many chinese food places and the burgers are better than most diners I've been to. The place also closes at 2am. I hope they update their hours online. Perfect place for a late night cheat meal. read more

Food poisoning! Place is disgusting and dirty inside. Even while eating, we didn't like the food. Chili cheese curly fries were served to us with cold cheese and almost cold chili. The burger tasted like a well done hockey puck. The place also serves Chinese food, which looked equally disgusting. It's a burger/Chinese restaurant (if you can even call it a restaurant ). The dining area is very similar to your local Chinese takeout spot. Stay Away, don't get drawn in by the outside of the building or the positive reviews.Nasty read more

The best Blue Cheese Burger with bacon!!! Fast, hot, tasty!!! THE BEST BLUE!!! Burgers are off the meat rack... read more

I was a little skeptical about a burger and Chinese establishment, but it did not disappoint! I had the brass burger with sautéed mushrooms , crispy onions and Swiss on a garlic bread bun and it was incredible. The bun itself was different , but so good! I obviously had to order a Chinese dish on the side. I ordered the sesame chicken , which also didn't disappoint. Highly recommend. I will definitely go back to try more of their food ! read more

I had the kimchi burger which was delicious. Portions are very large and with such a cheap price, can't be beat!

Three of us walked in around 1PM on a Sat. and the place was dead. Some of the tables were dirty so it seemed people had just eaten there. I went against my normal if it's spicy it's a must try mentality and ordered the Pineapple Burger which was proudly featured in a number of pictures. Son ordered a BBQ Bacon burger and wife ordered a classic. The burgers are okay....not seasoned well and cooked one temp but flavorful due to the toppings (which I'm not a fan of; the burger should stand on it's own and not rely on it's components...sorry #burgersnob). We also ordered Onion Rings and Fries. Fries were standard but the O-Rings were yummy and when dipped in their house made Spicy Mayo sauce were awesome. You know how you get a vibe when you walk in a place.... I won't cast a death sentence on Nova Burger but if your interested check it out sooner than later. I'd been curious for a few months but after going don't need to come back. Forgot to mention the dark chasm that leads to the rest room. Or the guy who seemingly works there but sits in his car smoking cigarettes till someone walks in (possibly the cook).... read more

Wanted to like this place but the burger was not great and neither were the fries. You're not allowed to have bad burgers and bad fries. That's cruelty. The burger was huge though so at least it was filling. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch had the Nova Burger with fries. Burger was juicy and and good, bread was soft. Overall, the burger was really good! Small eat in restaurant and not crowed. Not sure why Yelp has it as Nova Burger & Mexican Grill, there is no Mexican on the menu at all but they do have Chinese Food. If you like a good, big, juicy burger with no wait this is your place. Clean and friendly staff! read more

If you want more bang for your buck Nova burger is most definitely the spot. This mom and pop restaurant is sure to leave you satisfied and wanting for more with the size and flavor of their burgers! I've been to a few burger joints, but this place easily tops them all for the portion and price alone. Forget the fact that the burger itself will have your mouthwatering after you've finished it. For approximately $11.25 you can get a huge burger, fries and a drink. Nowadays that prices just gets me a lonely burger. Yes, you can argue that you can go to a fast food chain for just about the same or a little less for the same things, BUT you definitely will have a (way) smaller burger. And you are not going to get the customer service you would here. This sweet lady made sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I hope that a lot of people find out about this joint so that it could prosper and stay open. read more

First of all.... THE SERVICE IS AMAZING!! Sooper nice lady. Goes above and beyond to make sure your order comes out quick! Such amazing service. Very nice people! I would come everyday just for the service alone! Prices are fair, burgers are delicious and flavorful. Plenty of options to choose from, and they allow additions/substitutions with no hassle! Town doesn't have a burger joint so this is a great addition! Give this place a shot, you won't be disappointed. *Small lot in the back for parking read more

Sometimes you just get stupid lucky. I got an email from Yelp about places in my area trending and Nova Burger was one of them. So a friend of mine from work and I both decided to take the trek from Paterson on our lunch break (we're lucky enough that we get a full hour) to Little Ferry and check this place out. Let me just say that it's very unassuming. It looks like it used to be a take out Chinese restaurant. It's clean but small. But we were greeted by some of the friendliest people in the food industry that I've ever been fortunate enough to meet. The woman who greeted us was so friendly, she honestly made us feel like we've known her forever. Now on to the more important things like, the burgers! What can I say, we got in the car and started driving back and my car was immediately filled with the smell of just absolute amazingness. My buddy got the bacon egg and cheese burger which he said, and I quote, " was the best burger I've ever had". I got the smoked bacon with pineapple and cheddar cheese bbq burger and I was completely floored. Let me just say that we got back to Paterson from Little Ferry, which if you know the area, it is not a five minute drive. The food was still hot. I don't know how they did that but, amazing! The bacon was smokey and crisp, the cheese was gooey and melty, the pineapple was hot but sweet and still had some snap to it, and the Patty, well let me tell you something. Angel knows what he is doing in the kitchen. Angel is the owner I think. I met him and he's an extraordinarily nice gentleman and man does he know how to make a burger! When we got back to work my buddy ate his with a few other co-workers up by the counter and everybody saw it and could smell it and became so enticed we decided to get an order together the following week. Well that is today. We ordered 21 Burgers the day before and Angel drove them to Paterson and I don't know how, again with the magic, they were still hot and cooked to perfection. The consensus here was that this guy hit a walk-off Grand Slam home run in the bottom 9th in game 7 of the World Series. I have become a huge fan of this place and it is why I have given it 5 Stars. I'd have given him 7 if Yelp would allow it. Oh and by the way, the prices of these Burgers, I feel like I'm ripping him off. He should raise his prices because his food is that good. What a deal! If you like burgers, I beg of you, go check this place out and say hi to Angel. He's a total class act. You'll see what I'm talking about. read more

This place is for the hungry. The burgers are almost 3 times bigger than any burger I've had. The location is nice, the restaurant has parking. The burgers however are not the best I've had. Different varieties but don't really seem to have the juiciness or the flavor I usually look for in a burger. The owners are really sweet, very friendly. I went for the Gyro burger and my boyfriend had the Fire burger (I think) we also got the chili cheese fries which was amazing. I think the restaurant should focus more on the flavor rather than the size. read more

I would have posted a pic but I ate too fast! We got shakes, fries, rings, a beef burger and a portebello burger. Everything came out pretty quickly and the portions are generous! Definitely worth your buck! Will definitely come back! Ps-There's ample parking and space for a large group to eat inside. read more

Great customer service. The lady at the counter was on the phone, likely with a client, upon our arrival but apologized profusely for being on the phone and not giving full attention to us. The fries were perfectly seasoned. We got it to go so they were a little soft but I enjoyed them. Chili cheese fries were delicious. We tried the nova classic and the pineapple bacon bbq burger. Meat was well seasoned and flavorful on their oddly shaped but delicious homeade bun. The pineapple bbq burger though is amazing! You have to try it! read more

Great burgers had no idea they were this good, service was quick and food was on point.

Found this mom & pop gem in the neighborhood. Came for lunch. The classic burger was on point. The bun they sourced was delicious and reminded me of the first big mac buns with sesame seeds or the original buns Five Guys used in Virginia I've had back in the days. Other ingredients used were fresh as well. The beef patty could have used a little more seasoning to my liking, but I'm sure my health appreciates the reduced sodium. Thanks for the wholesome classic burger! read more
