A latte I got amazing
Joe H.

What a great spot! We opted to Sit in their outdoor area which is heated. It was much less crowded and noisy. The staff immediately brought us 4 waters and were helpful. We explained my daughter's nut allergy and they were mindful of it, all the food we ordered was good and big portions! Def give it a try,

Service was friendly and the food was tasty. We got there shortly after 9 on a Sunday and it wasn't too crowded. But by the time we left there was a wait. The staff were very friendly. The restaurant itself felt welcoming as well, had a diner feel to it. We ordered the greek yogurt, stack of their signature pancake, waffles with fruit and the breakfast combo with French toast. They're known for their pancakes and we can see why. It was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was the best we have ever had but still very good. The serving size of the yogurt was impressive. It came in a big bowl with granola, fruit and honey. The only thing I was disappointed with was the French toast. It was just okay. We would probably consider coming back again to try some of their numerous breakfast options.

We love this place! The food is so good. Worth the 20 min wait in the freezing cold. To be fair, we came here on a Sunday brunch time and the wait wasn't bad considering how popular this place is. The food and staff were all great. The place is so cute. All locations are adorable. We've never visited this location but it did not disappoint. We cannot wait to go back.

The menu reads like a dissertation! Our party had to repeatedly ask our server (who was incredibly patient with us - thank you, Chastity!) for more time as we pored over the many, many tasty options listed on each laminated page. The restaurant might be named after its pancakes, but its offerings are closer to a diner-like variety, including some pasta, sandwich, and protein-centric options that would be fine for a lunch or dinner meal. On a Friday morning, service was quick and attentive. I couldn't believe how quickly our plates were delivered to our table, especially considering the size of the restaurant and the surprisingly large serving sizes. To wit, none of us were able to finish our whole orders. Customizations were readily made and carried out to a tee. One of us wanted to switch out one ingredient for another in an omelette, another preferred the dish without onions, and we all got what we wanted. Things were pretty mellow when I visited, but I've heard this restaurant gets absolutely packed on the weekends. The food itself was...fine. Nothing blew us away, but aside from some slightly over-salted potatoes, everything was decently cooked. That said, we watched with gaping mouths at some of the more dessert-like options that passed by us to other tables. There were cotton-candy structures that looked like unicorns, pancake towers carrying clouds of whipped cream, and milkshakes that gave me a sugar high just looking at it. So while our own meals might have been on the boring side, I'm sure those who are daring enough (and with more forgiving metabolisms than I) might rave about their meals here. There's a small parking lot right by the restaurant, and an even larger one when you pull further into the lot.

We came on a nice, wonderful spring day and was seated in the outdoor area where the pulled down the windows. The weather and breeze was perfect and soothing to the soul. Had a maple latte which was good and came with lotta creme, but prob would just go for reg coffee next time. Tries the short rib skillet special and I could barely finish half. Oh had plenty of room between tables so could fit our stroller and sleeping baby. Parking can be tough on a busy day, but we were able to snag a spot after a few minutes. Felt busy but the wait was only twenty mins on a sat around 11am. Our server was a little slow or less attentive to us it felt.., forgot our utensils and had to ask for other stuff a few times, but other than that it was fine.

I've been to Brownstone Englewood Cliffs a few times but never left a review--so here it is! Went for breakfast, and as expected, the food was great. There was a wait (as usual), and the ambience is on the louder side, but that's part of the vibe. The food came out warm, portions were HUGE, and the drinks? AMAZING (It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right?). My only complaint: y'all need a bigger space with more parking! If anyone from the restaurant is reading this, please make it happen! Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Protein pancakes with eggs, turkey, bacon and chicken sausage. It was delicious!.
Dave O.

I've been to this location several times only for breakfast and each time was very special. This diner has the most extensive breakfast menu I've ever seen for a diner. They have probably six pages of meals just for breakfast. So many different options for pancakes and french toast and etc. Several different healthy options for a guy like me, including protein pancakes with egg whites and turkey bacon. Although I've never ordered one, they have a whole page dedicated to milkshakes. They are each $20 and seem like they can feed two or three people. One day I may order a milkshake. Every time I've eaten here, the service has been impeccable. My waitresses were very nice and we're on top of refilling Waters and drinks. Also, they all had a great attitude which goes a long way. The ambiance is a typical Jersey diner just very clean and big. This place definitely gets slammed on the weekends, so if you want to eat here on a Saturday or Sunday I suggest coming very early. Each time I've eaten here it's been a weekday and there's usually no problem sitting. I ordered a healthy bowl which consisted of quinoa, eggs, vegetables and chicken sausage. It was delicious and very filling. I also ordered the protein pancakes with turkey bacon and it was very good. The pancakes did not taste bland like most protein pancakes do. I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast or lunch and I'm thinking I may come back with my kids for some milkshakes.

Classic short stack

Great brunch spot and perfect for kids who love crazy shakes! Might be a wait but trust me it'll be worth it. Pancakes are delicious but especially warm. Drink options are also delicious!

Yeahhhh!!! I also ordered a freshly squeeze Orange juice which was amazing! thank you guys. God bless you. Keep doing a great job!

Had the simple breakfast combo with bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes and French toast The drinks are phenomenal my daughter had the cookie butter latte

Buttermilk pancakes

The food is really good, but the service sucks big time. The place is busy with people having a good time but I would imagine that anyone who got my waitress were likely frustrated as well. The lady came over to get our drink orders and I asked for coffee, my other people in my party asked for mimosas and she told me, "are you sure you only want coffee?". I told her yes and she insisted that I should have a drink. When I told her no thank you she shrugged me off and left before taking our food orders. I got her back to take the order and the food came out quickly and well served. By then I needed more coffee and I asked her to bring me more. She walked away and never came back. I had to ask someone else who earned my generous tip. The place is very nice with a good atmosphere as long as you get a good waitress.

Considering how I had an impulsive meal at McDonald's for $13 of similar portions not too long ago, Marty's is a better deal by miles. The chicken sandwich is nicely battered and arrived slathered in their house sauce that reminds me of In N Out's 'animal' sauce. I like the addition of the sweet pickles, too. And their Cole slaw is actually good; also made in house. The fries used to be thinner, which I miss. But I can't get over how good the salt and vinegar ones are. I will just have to accept the regression in quality. Nothing lasts forever, after all.

Established in 1969 on the site of the former Bicycle Club, Giovanni's Bicycle Club features irresistible flavors of Italian cuisine from family recipes using the finest ingredients. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable but was not necessary on a Sunday. Upon entering this two-story building, my partner and I were greeted by the host, and a few patrons were enjoying their meal on two enclosed outside patio decks with fans in the summer, so we joined them. The windows could be raised for that inclement weather, and heaters turned on when needed. They do have a main dining room, with the front bar much fancier. A few small bicycle artifacts make the place memorable and unique. We decided on the Philly Cheesesteak and Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad. Complimentary bread with dipping oil started our meal. The food was tasty with a healthy portion. The price was a bit pricey. The service was friendly; our server was Buket. We could recommend this place.

What service? The bartender made cameos behind the bar at random intervals. Most of the time, she was nowhere to be found. The bar was littered with empty glasses that sat there for the duration. I had to hunt her down for the check. I also didn't care for the location of the men's bathroom; literally right next to the bar. We also had to move our seats once because the opposite side of bar near the men's room was right next to the front door. It was freezing and the couple next to us had their coats on the entire time. PASS.

ATMOSPHERE (5/5) - Clean, no non-sense vibe that leans utilitarian but hey, you're here for quick bite! 2. FOOD (5/5) - Chicken was juicy, well-seasoned (not too salty!) with right amount of heat (I ordered medium spicy and taste was bolder and better vs. wife's mild which felt a bit bland) and their pickle gave a nice counterbalance. Fries were slightly "old" but full of potato flavor with that peanut oil, and the rice, the RICE in my bowl... together with the mild coleslaw (not too sweet, heavy-sauced, or acidic) was just... making symphony in my mouth. It was seriously delicious... rice... like what?! It had like that subtle halal flavor, gentle bite, and carried sauce well. So while I thought I'd never say this, I enjoyed the rice platter version of the Nashville hot chicken over the sandwich version. Sandwich version was ever so slightly dry in comparison as well. 3. SERVICE (4/5) - Only docking point because it took a bit long (15 min) for this type of food, but my man at the counter was very nice and hooked me up with free soda. He also mentioned royalty program which I misheard as telling me to pick any beverage (wife told me later), which was a nice touch. (Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude!) All in all with leftover to spare for next lunch, this was a surprisingly great meal. I'll definitely be back to try the smashed burgers! I never knew they were here though the guy told me they've been here for a few years at least... Well, now I know! Show Zalim some love ya'll and enjoy some GREAT Nashville hot chicken RICE BOWL and sando!
