    Chicken Cutlet Sandwich

    I love this place! It has become my go-to for ordering or picking up food while I'm at work. Super friendly staff and the cafe is super cute. My favorites are their chicken cutlet sandwiches and salads are also top tier. Always fresh and delicious. Can't recommend this place enough!

    I found this spot to get lunch and called in my order. A nice man answered and took my order. For my lunch I got the veggie burger with fries and other items for my clients. When I arrived I had a hard time finding the place but eventually did. I found parking in a lot nearby. I walked in and was greeted and the nice young man that took my order took my payment and was nice enough to itemize. I paid and left. When I got in I ate and the sandwich wasn't bad. The bun was just a little too sweet for me. The fries were ok as well. All in all I had a pretty ok experience. I would definitely want to try something else.

    Breakfast sandwich was delicious. Service was great. Ambiance was cozy. I would come again and order more things.

    Yummy veggie burger with cheese.

    So this is a small cafe a family from Fort Lee runs. Honestly I didn't know there was even a cafe in that location. We sat inside and I had the veggie burger with cheese and tomatoes and lettuce. My son had the burger deluxe I loved the fries. I kept picking on them. Very good. They have panini's, salads, muffins, breakfast food as well. Under $20 with two drinks. They also deliver in the area. Support a family dealing with a serious illness. Support small business please.

    Sicilian panini

    I really wanted to enjoy this panini because that would mean there was a decent deli within walking distance from my place of work. But... I was deceived and definitely let down by the surprising 4.5 review of this place. First, it took at least 15 minutes just to take my order; there was no one ahead of me. And second, the panini I ordered was neither pressed or made with fresh ingredients. I was able to tell because the bread was definitely at least a day old; it was crumbly and borderline stale. It might have been pressed, as apparent by the subtle grill marks on the top loaf, but not nearly long enough; the cheese hadn't even had time to melt. The cheese, also worth mentioning, was not "fresh" mozzarella. Just your typical processed packaged sliced mozz. The chicken was also very thin compared to the size of the bread and, all in all, I really wanted to like this place but I don't think I'll be ordering from here again. I gave an extra star for effort, but this place would be worth 2 stars on their best day.

    Cliff's Cafe is a treasure in my heart. Mario and Maria are great! Food is outstanding and service is terrific! I love coming here for lunch every day only to be greeted by the friendliest staff around. I def recommend their breakfast menu. French Toast is my number 1 pick and their breakfast sandwiches are amazing! Stop by for lunch and get yourself some of the cheesiest juiciest cheesesteaks in the area! This place definitely deserves all the best reviews

So I did. I cannot get over how tasty and oh so good their burgers are! I am not a fan of burgers that are smashed, but these burgers are so tasty and juicy! Beef delivered from Pat LeFrieda's every day, and all fresh ingredients. And the sauce on the Burger so delicious. They have excellent choices, including plant-based burgers and breaded chicken ("Impossible" brand) I had the swiss burger lettuce wrap with sautéed onions & shrooms, And My best friend had the same but added bacon. He also ordered truffle Parmesan fries, which were so delectable! To top it off, the service was excellent! Everyone who worked there was helpful & answered any question that you had with a smile. What a great bunch of people! I live about 20 minutes away, but I will definitely be going back at least once a week! And the place is cute. Love, love, love Marty's!!

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.

The other option i got was butter chicken it was okay probably a 7.2/10 wasn't anything over the top, im indian so I've had a lot of butter chicken in my life and I know when it stands out. The fries are frozen fries which aren't anything unique like a 5/10 they should get some curly fries or waffle fries just a thought for them to stand out more. The people and atmosphere are great so for customer service and everything overall is top notch. Just a few thoughts tho from my experience.

    Wow. They really do deliver "ruthless" flavor combo as their in-store mural would suggest. My wife…read moreordered the Nashville chicken sandwich with fries and I did the same in rice platter version and they were legit! 1. 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!

Prices are good, 2 sliders for $13 and cheesesteak was $14. Took them about 10 minutes to prepare all the items. The sliders and cheesesteak were so good. The quality of La Frieda steak was so obvious. The yellow cheese, caramelized onion and buns, all of it complimented the patty. Loved the Mac & cheese bites as well. It was a unique item, haven't seen anywhere that I remember. They looked like nuggets with soft filling. I'll be back to try their burger and other sandwiches soon.
