This was my first time and I kept it simple with the Rueben (special sandwiches section on the…read moremenu). It contains Swiss cheese, Roasted Turkey, Sauerkraut, and Thousand Island on Rye bread. I also added sauteed onions. Overall, it was okay, lacking some flavor and it was not as filling as I'd expected. I wanted to understand and experience the hype about American Melts, but it fell flat for me. It was just okay. Despite being underwhelmed, I am still giving 4 stars because the service was great and I am impressed with the price range. Every sandwich on their menu is under $10, and that stands out especially these days when a mediocre burger is $15+ minimum. You can even "build your own grilled cheese" sandwich. For these reasons, I am willing to give American Melts another try and perhaps a different item on the menu.

There's nothing like finding a tiny shack on the side of the road with stellar comfort food…read more With fast food chains charging $10+ for bland mystery meat American Melts is both exceptional and affordable. It's a breath of fresh air to find places using real ingredients with a distinct flavor & charging under $10 each. Since I was starving I picked up 3 sandwiches: 1.) Brie - While quite good this was my least favorite. The brie & apple slices didn't pop out as much I wanted, but it still was satisfying. 2.) Stone Pony - Whoah! This is praise worthy. Roast beef was tasty & the caramelized onions & aioli horseradish are great additions to the flavor. 3.) Big Tex - This was my absolute favorite. If you have a hunger that needs to be quenched this is the sandwich to do it. The mac n cheese, bacon, & roast beef were on point. It mentions there is BBQ sauce, but I don't recall tasting it. Either way it wasn't overpowering as I'm not the biggest BBQ sauce fan & the sandwich stands on it's own with or without it Their sandwiches are perfectly portioned so you're not getting too little or too much. Their Staff was very friendly, there's seating outside, it's located next to a park and a bike trail, & there's actually a lot of parking despite it being a tiny shack. It's perfectly located & optimized if you like to grab & go or sit & chill. Kudos to these guys. Definitely worth going to over & over.

I love Jersey diners, and this is a great one. I was visiting on Staten Island, and I found this…read moreplace on the web, so I came over for breakfast. It's just your typical Neighbourhood diner. Nothing fancy on the inside, there were workers, families, just average people enjoying a good meal. Everybody was friendly and helpful. I loved my server, Laura. Friendly, with just a little bit of "sass." just like you would expect a good diner waitress to be. They had a very decent sized menu. I decided to go with the catfish and eggs, with grits instead of potatoes The breakfast was amazing. The portions were very decent sized. The catfish was not over breaded, it was not oily or greasy at all, and the catfish itself was so amazingly, tender and flaky. It came with a remoulade, which was creamy and tangy, and had just a tiny bit of a "zip" to it. Just enough that I noticed. It really added to the flavor of the catfish. The eggs were perfectly over easy, giving me that wonderful "yolk action" for dipping the catfish that I absolutely love. The grits were creamy, and I believe they had just a little bit of butter in them.. The entire breakfast tasted so good. For all that I got, the price was very reasonable. Thank you for a great meal.

Afro Taco has been around for a few years. They're based out of Hillside so it's nice to see them…read moresetup shop here semi-officially. Friendly service, I always like when the staff will talk and joke with you. There is parking on the nearest side street (Florence Ave), but no parking on the Main Street (Liberty Ave). I submitted updates to their info, but in case it doesn't work, their current address is the lot next to 1350 Liberty Ave, Hillside, NJ 07205. You can't really park in the lot itself as there is no driveway. You'd have to drive over the curb & sidewalk. I mean, I guess you could if you were willing to do that. Had the Oxtail empanadas, Walking (Beef) Taco, you provide the chips of your choice. Not a problem there is a 7-Eleven directly across the street, & the Oxtail Burrito. Everything was very good. They are expensive, so be prepared for that, but you get what you pay for. Grades: Oxtail Empanadas: A Walking Taco (Beef): A- Oxtail Burrito: B+

I cannot say enough good things about Cafe Airlie. Their food and service is phenomenal…read more I used to work not too far from here, and my team had Cafe Airlie in our regular rotation. I would email their business email my team's order, call to confirm, and then head over to pick up the food. The staff is extremely patient. My colleague and I had to verify each item we ordered was in our orders when we picked up our food. We held up the line every time. The establishment was typically very busy when we went to pick up the orders, and although stressed, the two staff members on shift helped us verify item by item that everything was there. Their sandwiches were good, as well as their salads and soups. Prices are fairly reasonable. Would definitely return when in the area next!
