    First time at 506.
    Daniel M.

    Always a nice experience coming to 506 cafe. A cold Friday night and we decided to go for a quick bite. I had the chicken club which was delicious. Chicken had lots of flavor and was cooked perfect. Sandra had the steak with onions a traditional Costa Rican dish. It was delicious. The conversation with the owner after dinner was the highlight. You always feel welcome and at home here. Definitely recommend. Enjoy

    They re-opened for pick service and I gave them 2 chances at making a simple breakfast. Both times it was terrible. Ask for well done home fries and both times they were just warmed over, not one tinge of browning. Had the sausages today and they clearly were not refrigerated during the power outage. you could smell the spoiled smell as soon as opening the container. Made the mistake of taking a bite and eating it, and realized they were clearly spoiled. Both times the toast is barely toasted and soggy. I feel sorry for these people, who seem nice, and tried to support them, but I will never go here again till the ownership changes for the 5th time in the last 10 years.

    #NewRestaurantAlert. #FirstTimerAlert. 506 Cafe & Diner at 246 Wanaque Avenue, Pompton Lakes, NJ. _______________________________________ Bistek Con Todo Salchichon, Maduros, Arroz, Queso, Y Natilla. Translation...Beef Steak with Sauteed Onions, Sausage, Eggs, Plaintains, Rice & Beans. Washing it down with a Maracuya (Passion Fruit) Juice. _______________________________________ Soft Opening with not a lot of changes in the location, decor, and operation since TV Land Cafe. But the Costa Rican Menu sets it apart and was spot on delicious. Forego ordering your normal breakfast even if offered. This is what they're good at. Check it out! #AfterWeLawyerWeEat. #MajorLeagueGrubbin. #NomNomNom

Recently, my children consumed cookies from this establishment, and shortly afterward they experienced vomiting and diarrhea. While I cannot say with certainty that the product was the direct cause, the cookies were extremely dry and the timing of their symptoms was concerning as a parent. Situations like this are upsetting for any family, and I believe it is reasonable for parents to speak up when something appears wrong. In addition to this experience, I was also disheartened by the way some members of our community have been treated. The tone and responses from staff have at times felt dismissive and unkind, which only adds to the frustration many people are feeling. Our community deserves to be treated with respect and fairness. Likewise, businesses deserve the opportunity to respond professionally and take concerns seriously. When issues arise, they should be handled with empathy, accountability, and open communication rather than hostility or public shaming. I truly hope that moving forward we can all work toward a more respectful and understanding environment--one where community members feel heard, families feel safe raising concerns, and everyone treats one another with dignity. At the end of the day, kindness, fairness, and doing what is right should always guide how we treat each other.

    Do you ever have an experience at a place so bad that it ruins the trajectory of your whole day?…read moreThat was my morning at Jackie Smalls. I don't give out one-stars on principle unless the food is inedible or something egregious happens but I feel in this case it is warranted. This is my third time at Jackie Smalls. My first, I thought the avo toast was great. Second time I got a very bland breakfast burrito. My third, today, I brought my infant son and decided to dine in. I asked for a high chair and once seated was told by my "waiter" that he could not take my order but I had to order at the front. First issue was this high chair. Nobody knew how to adjust the straps including me, and it was some minimal little aesthetic thing that looked like he could easily topple out of. This is important later. Anyways no big deal with the ordering, front guy was accommodating and let me order from my seat. I ordered the Smalls Scramble for me and French toast for my son with the syrup and raspberries on the side, no pistachios or whip. Food takes a good bit to come out, which is no biggie either. When it arrives, they set down the French toast plate with a knife (a knife knife not a butter knife) on it in front of my son. Ok not great but I hand them the knife back. Then I try the food. Honestly, I'm not sure what to say about the food but...yikes. The eggs were certainly not soft scrambled, and the toast did not look buttered, and the weak potatoes were somewhat like a thick flaccid potato chip drenched in truffle oil and, by the way, not more than a speck of salt on anything. It looked pretty but that was about it. The French toast was deep fried or air fried and it was just not good. Sorry, no other way to say it. So I go to ask for two things: salt, and to inquire as to whether the multi-grain toast has nuts since I have an allergy and it looked concerning. I keep having to go up to these counters and leave my baby unattended in his unstable high chair because nobody will come to me and keep making me get up. I had to ask like five people about the bread until someone pulled out a binder and started looking for allergens. Everyone was just pointing me to the next person and many seemed to simply not understand my question due to a language barrier. I get my salt, and this is some COARSE salt. So I couldn't even fix the seasoning. Not flaky, but like coarse and pebbly for pickling or seasoning steaks, not for food. While I'm up and bouncing from person to person I keep gesturing at my son and nobody will come to my table. In the meantime, he smushed the raspberries and spilled the syrup and I'm back and forth between my conversation and keeping my son in his chair. At the end, I just didn't trust these people's knowledge of anything and could not eat any of my food but brought it home for my husband. It's one thing to serve food that needs a bit of work, but you need to at least offer normal table salt for folks to fix it. It's another thing to have the majority of your staff not know about allergens or how to navigate your high chairs. Also that food needed more than a little bit of work. I will say though those pancakes did look good. I will not be posting pictures for this review because I don't want to mislead with the pretty plating.
