Our server Francisco was not a talkative man, but he got the job done. We got chicken fingers for the kids immediately upon sitting down, and Francisco had them out quite quickly, which we appreciated. They also arrived on a bed of lettuce, for aesthetics. My wife and I also shared a buffalo chicken wrap, and a caesar salad with grilled chicken added. The former was not great, as it was more tomato than chicken, and desperately in need of some bleu cheese dressing. I would've taken ranch even. The salad however, hit the spot, and the massive amount of actually well seasoned and cooked grilled chicken was much appreciated. Just so you know, pay at the cash register by the door. Francisco never came back for my credit card.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ PHENOMENAL FOOD!!!!! ++++ Miso Marinated Salmon - Was absolutely delicious. Salmon was cooked perfectly, wasn't dry and still moist. The citrus scented wild rice was excellent too. ++++ Truffle Burger - Honestly, one of the BEST burgers I've had in a longggggg, longgggg time. Everything was perfect about it - the caramelized onions, gruyere on top, bacon, truffle aioli, and, of course, the burger itself. The patty was dripppping with juices with every single bite and cooked to medium excellence. Oh, and those truffle fries that came with it? To die for! Loved the thinness of them and there was PLENTY of it to go around. ++++ Kids Macaroni & Cheese with Fruit - Relatively simple, but the creamy kind of mac and cheese. Kids absolutely loved it. The fruits were just grapes and a few little slices of pineapple, which we would have liked a bit more of. ++++ Kids Cheeseburger and Fries - Burger was DEFINITELY, without a doubt cooked well-done. It was a bit on the tiny side, but we still split it between the kids. Once again, fries were fantastic and there was more than enough to share. ++++ Banana-Rama Smoothie - Strawberry, banana goodness. Could definitely tell this was not artificial from the "true" flavor of the smoothie. It wasn't super sweet. + Service was very good throughout the evening. ++++ Food came out shockingly fast and fresh. ++++ Our waiter was friendly, on point and came by to check on us a few times. + Plenty of space inside of the restaurant, including an outdoor-indoor tent that is heated. + Decor was modern and contemporary, very clean inside. + Ambiance for dinner was dark and intimate, which caught me off guard because I thought it would be more casual, but perfect for group gatherings still and casual dine-ins. + PLENTY of parking in the large lot in front and to the side of the restaurant, which is shared within a little strip mall. + They take reservations online. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada! MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada! RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Dined from 5:45 - 7:15 PM on a Friday and most of the evening crowd was older and there weren't many families with kids. There were maybe 2-3 families with kids, but they left by 6:15 PM. Most of the groups were groups of 4, seemingly catching up during a nice meal. CONCLUSION -------------------- = I was pleasantly surprised by the experience we had here. I figured this would be a super casual Friday after work/school dinner with the fam, but this turned out to be one of the best meals we've had in North Jersey in a while. Food, service and ambiance here was excellent. Wish they had .5 stars on Yelp because Saddle River Cafe is as close to perfection as it can get at 4.5 stars!

Both times, once on a Thursday and once on a Friday, it was almost empty. Service was extremely slow - took forever to get our four entrees despite there being no other tables, and our onion ring side came out almost 20 minutes after our entrees came out. The food is....just missing something. Fish in the fish and chips were heavily breaded with hot but soft breading; brick chicken had no flavor; the steak was overcooked.

There were a bunch of breakfast specials and we both ordered the lady liberty. You get all of their best: French toast, bacon, sausage, and two eggs your way.

The sausage here is hands down my favorite in the area as you can enjoy the crisp outer skin and a delicious sausage inside. Eggs here are great as they get them from Goffle Farms. I always prefer over easy. The toast here is always amazing and delicious as they use quality bread. Service is good however when we went to pay I was standing up at the counter and the girl working the register took people on line behind me as if she didn't see me. When we she finally got to me no apology and a bit of an attitude when she said "I'll get to you next". Other than that. I always enjoy my meals here.

I just want to start off by saying we have been coming here for YEARS and it has always been…read moreconsistent and great. However the last two visits ( we go on Sundays and in the summer we love to sit outside there) were just not good and it hurts me to say it. A few weeks ago we went and I didn't really see anybody that we knew there's usually the same woman at the door every time we go and we always have a brief pleasant conversation with her. We didn't see her when we went in, but no big deal we were led to our booth. We don't even need menus anymore because we always get the same thing and it's always delicious. We always start with a salad and then we get the muscles medium and a large pie with half black olives. We waited about 10 minutes. We still hadn't been given water or even acknowledged at our booth. We just kind of waited patiently because we did see that it was busy but after 15 minutes past, we were kind of like what is going on a young woman came over she looked overwhelmed. She was helping most of the tables asked us what we wanted to drink and we said to her you know what can we just do everything now because we can see that you're busy. We gave our order and then we sat another 15 minutes just waiting for our drinks to arrive. Our salad finally came out and then our mussels . The muscles must've been made and sitting in the back for a while because for the first time ever we did not like them they were rubbery and cold. We ate them anyway cause we don't like to make a big deal then we waited for our pizza. And waited and waited and waited. No one was even looking over at us. No one came over to ask if we needed more drinks. It was like we didn't exist, which was very upsetting because my boyfriend is a person that tips 30% every time anywhere we go. Finally, the person that was running the front saw that we were getting very aggravated and came over and at this point, we were just disgusted and wanted to leave as my boyfriend's mom is ill and we can't spend three hours sitting at a local bar restaurant. We told the woman that we didn't even want them at this point and if we could just get them to go. Because we had ordered a second pizza to take to my boyfriend's mom. She did do the right thing and took the pizzas off the bill and we appreciated that and we chalked it up to just being a one off day, no big deal in comparison to all the great times we've had there. So we ended up not going back for a few minutes weeks and we finally went back yesterday. It was extremely busy so we knew we would be there a little while I want to say that our waiter Tyler was great. We have no complaints about him. He was friendly and he got our order correct. But it was the same thing where we sat there for about 10 minutes before anyone even came over with a glass of water. We then instructed how we wanted the food brought out first the salad then the mussels and lastly the pizza he repeated it back to us and we knew he had gotten it and like I said we have no complaints about Tyler. But then, of course the salad and mussels came out at the same time. We kind of just said to each other no big deal. We'll eat the salad fast and eat the mussels while they're still warm as we literally took the first bite of our salad our pizza came out. He told us that the back kitchen had just put everything in at once. I'm not really sure what's going on here why they can't get it together, but we ended up eating our food so fast because we didn't want anything to get cold. That's not an enjoyable way to go out to dinner. I really hope it can go back to being the way it was because it used to be phenomenal. I think we will be taking another little break until the weather gets nice and we can sit outside and hopefully the service will go back to the way it was as I stated Tyler was great. I really believe it was not his fault that it all came out at once. This is truly a local place that has been here for so many years and it's just kind of sad to see that it's almost like they don't care that they take for granted that they will always be busy, but that's not how the way the world works. Things are so expensive in today's world and going out to dinner should be a pleasure not a stressful event. It's a great place in general and I definitely do not want to bash it. That's not the point of this post this post is to let them know that they're good customers. Just want to be treated the way they have been since 1989.

However, came here last week on a Tuesday night with a couple of buddies for dinner & beers. Got a bit of a shock when the bill came.

The best part is when I asked the waitress about the charge she literally told me it's because it was a higher ABV beer. What a crock!
