    spinach dip
    Deanne G.

    We went there for a quick bite - ambience is cozy and casual. We ordered the spinach dip and eggplant tower. The dip did not have much flavor and the tower was good minus the ham. For our meals I had the steak tacos and my friends had the burger and chicken sandwich. Good portions and They were all okay but nothing great. Four people and two cocktails each about $200 plus tip. Gave it a 3 as place was nice and service was good.

    This bar has what you need to grab a nice drink at the bar, watch a sports game, entertain a date... as for the food, I have yet to try but maybe next time. Parking is small so if you are meeting up with people it's best to get there first.

    I would have to say this is the best tavern I ever went to. Atmosphere is stellar, staff is nice, food tasted great, menu variety was strong and priced well. Lots of parking on both sides of the building

    If you're a local then you know that Tavern 61 replaced the long standing Italian restaurant, Solari's (which was open since the 1930s). I personally had been to Solari's before it closed, but as soon as I walked through the doors of Tavern 61, I was immediately transported into a charming, welcoming and modern establishment. Tavern 61 is situated right next to all the new apartment construction that is happening in Hackensack and this is a place you will NOT want to miss out on. Tavern 61 is an American bar & grill that serves a wide range of menu items - you will not have a problem selecting what you want. I came here for a date night with my partner and we decided to share a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and it was divine. We shared their buffalo chicken flatbread pizza and it was so good we almost ate the whole thing! We had to stop ourselves so we didn't get too full prior to the entrees. For my entree, I ordered the pork chop and it was cooked to perfection - there was so much flavor and the balsamic reduction really added to that - the cherry peppers was a perfect spice compliment. My partner ordered off the special menu and he said the tacos were absolutely delicious! I can't wait to come back!

    3rd time here and quite satisified. Great service. Awesome happy hour deals on drinks between 4 and 7 on weekdays. $5 on majority of draft craft beers at that time. The specials tend to hit the spot. Loved the choriozo tacos, chef salad and beef tortellini in pink champagne sauce. Anything in their pink champagne sauce will be fantastic. Thanks a bunch!

Called in to make an order, and the owner say it was a busy day, so my pie would be reading in 45-minutes, instead of 25-30. I assumed if people are willing to frequent there, I'll join the queue. I ordered the Drunken Peps Detroit Style Pizza, which had "mozzarella cheese, two types of pepperoni (original sliced/cup & char), homemade vodka sauce, and freshly grated pecorino romano cheese." First off, the pie is huge --- completely worth the $26.96 I paid for it. Secondly, the photos don't do it justice --- it is steaming hot upon pick-up, and that very generous layer of sauce on the top was *chef's kiss*. Although the crust may appear very dark i the photos, it was actually perfect --- and provided that nice *crunch* and *crackle* that those crunchy cheesy edges provide. If you're in the area and looking for some pizza -variety- then I totally recommend this place. Pizza Knight for the win!

    Grumpy's Sourdough Pizza Co. 522 Saddle River Rd…read more Saddle Brook, NJ 07663 Hot Honey Heaven Grumpy's Triple Threat Multiple people have reached out to me and suggested I explore this locally owned pizzeria located in the heart of Saddle Brook. As I entered the parlor, it is a hole in the wall with minimal seating and no AC unit. Regardless that it wasn't fancy, I still had a very gut instinct the quality of their pies was going to be on the money. When I arrived a weekday afternoon to place my order, the cashier informed me there will be a 40 minute wait. For the fact that the wait is this long indicates there are in demand and their pizza is top quality. I also saw framed plaques along their table counter showing they received positive media recognition from The Record, northjersey.com, and bestofnj.com. Hot Honey Heaven: I was initially skeptical about the appearance of this pie because it looks kind of messy. However, I took a single bite and was immediately hooked. This pie was topped with pepperoni, crispy chicken, and ricotta cheese. Mike's Hot Honey was generously poured over the top. It has a combination of sweet and spiciness. I never anticipated honey would enhance the flavor of the pie; I wish I requested an extra cup! Grumpy's Triple Threat: Named after the restaurant, this pie is prepared with pesto, grandma sauce, and pink tomato sauce. The sprinkled parmigiano reggiano added a nice touch. I especially liked the artistic appearance. The three colors were visually appealing, especially with the swirls of pesto. All pies are prepared with their signature sourdough pizza crust. Each slice had a perfect undercarriage and a firm crunch. Customers have the option to bake the pies may light, medium, or well-done. I chose medium because a majority of the customer base prefers this style. As a bonus, Grumpy's offer complimentary crust upgrades. I opted to add garlic butter brush; the outer crust edge was literally brushed with hot, garlic-infused butter. While it is common to throw away the top portion of the pizza, the upgrade is definitely an incentive to eat the crust. San Marzano tomatoes are the primary ingredient for the sauce. It's not overly sweet and has a light tang. This pizzeria is geared for take out, but there are plenty of benches only minutes away at Saddle River County Park. You can enjoy your pie while admiring the beautiful scenery of the park. The parking lot has limited spaces, but you can easily find a spot on the street. Grumpy's may be a hole in the wall, but the pizza was outstanding. I'm really exuberant that I had a pristine experience exploring sourdough crust for the first time! I was far from "grumpy" after dining here! #grumpys #grumpyssourdoughpizzaco #grumpystriplethreat #hothoneyheaven

The customer service was outstanding from start to finish, and I have absolutely no complaints. This was a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be ordering again. They've earned a repeat customer!

The space looked modern, with wonderful decors and interior. They also had shaded outdoor seating, hightop tables and a huge bar as well. We started the lunch with blackened Octopus with mango salad (appetizer special of the day), that was a really good dish. The clams casino was an interesting, baked top on a citrusy sauce. For entree, we ordered the Chilean Sea bass, that had a very well cooked filet, but the risotto didn't taste good to me. I got had the Branzino that had extra crispy grilled skin, but the fish itself survived from being dry. The kale was good and mash potato was decent. My daughter liked her penne pasta with butter and cheese. We wanted to get some mocktails, but they were out of virgin mojito, per the server. Not sure how was that possible!!! The disappointing part of the lunch was the mediocre service. Even though I mentioned it was a birthday celebration in the reservation, no one bothered to wish or ask us if we were celebrating anything. Our server only had to attend our table, yet he only came by three times, once to ask us about water, then to take our order, and once after our appetizers were served. Half of the time he invisible and rest of the time he was just hanging out by the register area stairs, chit chatting with other staff members. We refilled our own water and had to grab other stuff members to get extra plates and utensils. I was super annoyed to pay premium price only to experience a diner like service. I didn't even bother to order the Zeppole from the dessert menu. I paid the check and we walked out as quickly as we could.

Most of the staff was very friendly and welcoming, especially the manager. We arrived about two hours before closing and asked if we could sit at the bar to watch the next soccer match after the hostess told us there were no available tables. What was confusing was that the same tables that were empty when we arrived remained empty the entire time and were still vacant when we left as the restaurant closed. Overall, the food and most of the staff were enjoyable, but the experience at the front of the house could definitely be improved.

The crust is thin with a sesame sprinkled crust and it was so good that I even ate every single bite of it, which is unusual for me. The oxtail was so flavorful and rich with the cheeses (mozzerella, Parmesan and goat cheese), meat, hot honey and spinach. The ladies asked if I wanted cilantro on top, which was the perfect add of even more flavor. They were so sweet and welcoming. Parking in downtown Englewood can be tough but I took the side street behind the row of stores and found the back entrance to Wahizza. I'm not sure if that's allowed but it made the pizza pick up a very quick and convenient experience. I plan on eating in next time bc the inside was so cute and looked very comfortable. I am definitely coming back.

It was hot, loaded with toppings, and had a healthy drizzle of olive oil. Eating it was even better. The cornmeal-dusted crust had pretty decent structural integrity (considering the toppings it had to hold up), and while the sauce was a little tangier than I would've liked, the proportions of crust to sauce to cheese was spot on. Evoli is a family-owned business and they've been in their current Hackensack location for about five years now. All the people here are sweet as pie, and I especially loved seeing the owner's little girl dancing around and showing off her Power Ranger toy to anyone who showed interest. There's talk about selling their business and changing locations, but so long as the old guard is here, I absolutely recommend checking them out.
