    Cookie Monster Wild Shake
    Jeff M.

    Tenafly Classic Diner 16 W. Railroad Ave. Tenafly, NJ 07470 Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls French Dip Vodka Chicken Parmesan Funfetti Cake Cookie Monster Wild Shake Appearance: Taste: In downtown Tenafly is a local diner that serves a variety of dishes. The buffalo chicken egg rolls is a fantastic starter. The egg rolls packed with seasoned chicken and are served with blue cheese. Take a dip with the tender French dip. Be sure to dip your hoagie into the au jus. The homemade potato chips are hot and freshly made, which is a great side dish. For a diner, the chicken Parmesan was superior! There were two full size cutlets along with penne pasta. The sauce was thick and creamy; if I could, I would have ate the sauce by the gallon! The mozzarella cheese didn't have a golden brown char appearance, but don't let that fool you. The melted mozzarella blended perfectly with the cutlet, pasta, and sauce! The Funfetti cake was an excellent dessert; the cake was served chilled with layers of frosting in between the spongy, cake. My minor critique is that I wish the donut hole wasn't sliced as that compromises the appearance. Usually, I'm not a fan of wild shakes as the toppong is too overbearing. However, this does not apply with the Cookie Monster because the sugar cookie is not too powerful or sweet. In addition, the vanilla milkshake is dyed aqua blue to match the iconic Sesame Street character. The Cookie Monster design is very attractive and realistic. This was a fantastic experience visiting this restaurant. #tenaflyclassicdiner #buffalochickeneggrolls #frenchdip #vodkachickenparmesan #funfetticake #cookiemonstershake #wildshake #milkshake #eats #localspots #foodstagram #foodreview #njfoodie

    A classic dinner- the kind of place that I like very much for its architecture and style. This was our first time here on a visit to the town. The service was great and the menu extensive. The food (generous portions) could have been better. We had the avocado toast and a country breakfast with scrambled eggs. Tea and a latte to drink. Everything tasted ok but not tasty- a pity. The check came to over $40.

    Fast service. Great menu. Went for the the lunch special and it did not disappoint. Great deal. Great amount of food. Love the Cobb salad. I didn't like the matzah ball though.

    Corned Beef Hash & Eggs

    I've been here a few times now. Morning weekends can be busy but they are good about getting you seated. They have some specialty drinks and desserts with a wow factor. It's a classic diner with big portions and fair pricing. They also serve some alcoholic options. I've gone for later in the evening dessert as well as breakfast. Staff is friendly. A good local spot to frequent with a large menu.

    Firehouse Burger
    Cia H.

    The server Lina (hope I got that right) is amazing and gives great service. We got the French toast sticks (it was a huge portion for a great price and tasty), the firehouse burger (was extremely dry and lacking flavor) and Oreo pancakes (not pictured but always delicious). Overall the food and service are good.

    California Fish Tacos- grilled cod fish
    Sellina Y.

    We ordered dinner via UberEats last night. It was our first time trying out this restaurant and I would definitely order again. I am pleasantly surprised with the grilled cod fish tacos. VERY filling as it is served with generous amount of fish. And the bonus side of plantains and rice with black beans are a plus. Plantains are my favorite side dish add-on to fish tacos. It would be nice to see plantains as a side dish option to purchase, at least that was an option the food app. This restaurant is running a promo on the app. Or if the is Buy one get one free on their cheesecake dessert. I highly recommend their fluffy mousse-like whipped cheesecakes, so delicious! They taste homemade and slices were large. The only reason why I didn't give this a 5 stars is bc the taco was on the drier end. It could had used complimentary sauces and lime/lemon. Also, to food was cold by the time my delivery arrived. Will definitely reorder and try the crispy fish version next time.

    Bronx Burger

    Lively and loud diner on a Sat evening. It seemed child friendly since many group have children. Service was efficient, and food came out quickly. Got a Bronx Burger with "medium" patty, but the patty ultimately came out as well done. Burger was still thankfully ok.

    Classic Diner Reuben

    I used to come here as a kid weekly. This place has not changed a bit and i guess that's good and bad lol. Food has always been mediocre to good. Its a diner and im not much of a diner person but it definitely has everything you could want. The service is good.

    If you're looking for a hearty breakfast in the Tenafly Classic Diner is a go-to spot. The ambiance gives an old-school diner atmosphere; serves up all the classics and offers great value for your money. The breakfast menu has something for everyone. I'm a fan of their omelets. Standouts are the Greek omelet with spinach and feta and the Spanish omelet with tomatoes, onions, and peppers. The staff are also friendly. If you're in Tenafly, the Classic Diner is the perfect place to start your day with a hearty, affordable breakfast.

The space is pretty lively and would be a great place to watch a sports event.

The food is where it was a bit disappointing to me. I can appreciate the wide variety of items on the menu, but not when the quality varies so much. We ordered a few pasta dishes (one that was on the daily special), a few taco dishes, an order of wings and the brussel sprouts. All of the pasta dishes were huge disappoints. They looked like pasta dishes from Applebees. The sauces were very runny and the kids pastas were the most basic pastas that were way overpriced for what they were. My daughter who loves pastas only ate about 1/3 of it and told me she didn't like it. The wings were dry and not saucy enough. The tacos were OK. The brussel sprouts were the only standout dish that we ordered. I liked their extensive draft beer menu though. Lots of variety to choose from and the drinks were fresh. Overall, I'd certainly come back here and hope that I pick some better food choices or a big improvement on the food quality, but a fun place to hang out at.

New Milford, NJ 07746 $18.99 Lunch special: Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beer Smash Cheeseburger Fries I encountered this deal from a leaflet that was placed on my front door, so I decided to stop by on a weekday afternoon. The lunch offer is valid Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM. Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beef: There was a variety of ten different draft beers to select. I don't order from the tap often, so I wasn't familiar with the beers. Before making my decision, Server Marcos was kind enough to let me sample it to be sure I I would like it. The IPA was fantastic. It was served chilled with a bit of foam up top. There was a hint of citrus and it had a smooth taste. Unfortunately, free refills are not included with the lunch special. Smash Cheeseburger & Fries: This is a perfect lunch serving portion as it will definitely keep you full until supper time. The double patty was served on a potato roll with special sauce and toppings; it didn't disappoint. The proportion of fries could have been a bit larger, but it they were still tasty. There are several flat screen HDTVs for patrons that enjoy watching sports as they wine and dine. If you enjoy the nightlife or clubbing atmosphere, a silver disco ball is adorned at the center of the restaurant. There is a decently sized outdoor seating area, which includes one semi-circular booth. As a bonus, if you want to purchase any bottled or canned beverages to bring home, there is a liquor store conveniently attached to the pub. This was a great lunch deal and if you need a quick meal in the middle of the day, stop by Barrel and Brew today! #barrelandbrew #barrelandbrewcraftbar #barrelandbrewlunchspecial #barrelandbrewwineandspirits

My niece is 20 months old so we just decided we'd let her have some bites of our food. The food took a little bit to come out, but I guess that means it really is made to order. I started off with the French Dip and it had a decent amount of meat on it. The bread was nicely toasted and the Jus was super flavorful. My niece actually liked it a lot and dipped her french fries in it. Even without the Jus the sandwich meat was moist and flavorful while the bread did a good job of soaking up the juices and adding crunch. The burger was also surprisingly good. The patty was actually cooked to medium so it was also juicy and flavorful. Mushroom and swiss is an undefeated combo on burgers provided the meat is good, and in this case the meat was quite good. Both entrees came with some fries and greens which were average. We also had black coffee with our food which was pretty good. It's on the pricier side, but it seems to be reflected in the quality of the food. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this spontaneous meal. I would certainly come back.
