    Burnt onion rings
    Priscilla P.

    I have ordered from here three times and the first two times in mid January were excellent - 5 stars. Today was a disaster - 0 stars. The food was burnt and so unbelievably greasy... My hands were collecting pools of grease that were dripping off the bread which were soaked like sponges. The burger patty was paper thin and burnt and was definitely the scrapings of beef fat and waste from the pan. The onion rings were burnt and wayyyy too salty. Sadly, the food was inedible and I had to throw it all away.

    Pastrami burger and the bacon bbq burger

    First off the service was fabulous. Both girls at the front were so nice and smiled (sounds ridiculous but it makes a difference). They were also very helpful because we couldn't make up our minds. On to the burgers. I think it's a must to get a double patty as the burgers are thin. They are greasy/juicy but it didn't drip down my hand. Fries and onion rings were nicely seasoned. Overall we would come back again because they have interesting burger combinations and a welcoming staff.

    @BigDudesBigFoods took a little trip to #MadisonNJ to get some tasty #SmashBurgers and #cheesesteaks from a flavor filled #SmallBusiness called @FableNFlame #FableNFlame is in an old but clean, refurbished, diner on Madison's iconic Main Street with an "Aesop's Fables" themed decor and menu. Joe & I got the #EmberStack which is a Smashed Patty with Pastrami, Smoked Mozzarella, and caramelized , arugula, pickles and garlic aioli. We also got the #TheSmokewood A cheesesteak with a blend of Pastrami and ribeye , topped with smoked mozzarella, crispy fried onions , and ranch. The perfect side to go with these #Smashterpieces is Lore Tots, Crispy tater tots topped with melted cheese and smash patty, sprinkled with crispy onions , fable sauce, and fresh herbs. The #FableSauce is amazing! We dipped our steak fries in the leftovers. #BigDudesBigFoods got to F&F at 4:00pm, right between the after school and dinner rush, so we had the place almost to ourselves. Fableand Flame is definitely #BDBFCertified and we will be back!!! #BDBF #SupportSmallBusiness

    A Gluten-Friendly Nugget Haven in Chatham…read more First time at The Nugget Spot - Chatham, and I'm so glad a friend introduced me. I just wish they'd open one closer to Bergen County! As someone with a gluten allergy, I was a little nervous at first, but the grilled nuggets are a total lifesaver, and they even have broccoli as a side. I went with the medium grilled combo and paired it with the Smokin' J's BBQ sauce -- the nuggets were juicy, packed with flavor, and incredibly fresh. The portion was generous enough that I brought home leftovers for later. I also tried their homemade blueberry lemonade, it was refreshing. For anyone who can enjoy gluten, the wings and nuggets looked amazing -- and the sauce options alone could spark a serious debate! Service was quick and friendly. It wasn't crowded when we walked in, but I can definitely picture this spot getting busy during peak hours. The staff was fun to joke with, and the place was clean with plenty of parking. It's a great spot to get tasty food fast. Downsides: limited seating, so not ideal for larger groups wanting to dine in, and no bathroom on-site. Being part of a strip mall, though, you've got other stores nearby if needed. If I lived closer, this would definitely be a staple spot. Highly recommend for anyone looking for flavorful, fast, gluten-friendly nuggets!

It can be a bit overpriced, however, the unique sandwiches like the Clucking Waffle Sandwich is just such a memorable experience. It's basically two sandwiches in one and is basically the ideal guilty pleasure sandwich, you really can't get anywhere else. It's amazing to see the culture fusion between Pakistani spices and southern fried chicken and it is a beautiful example of the possibilities of deliciousness that can be had when cultures unite.

We tried the Tikkaville sandwich and medium-spicy tenders, and both were good -- crunchy, spicy with a very manageable kick, and filled with tender, juicy chicken. There are a few areas that could make the food even better. The tenders have a dry, crunchy breading that tends to fall off the chicken, and since most of the seasoning is concentrated in the coating, the chicken itself can taste a little bland. The chipotle dipping sauce definitely helps. The Tikkaville sandwich has a great concept, but the tikka sauce could use some refinement. It leans a little acidic; I think a creamier, smokier, butter-chicken-style sauce could make the sandwich richer and much more crave-worthy. Prices are reasonable and the ambiance is nice, although you can constantly hear the fryer running in the background. It's a self serve concept so not much to report here. I really admire what Namkeen is trying to do -- it's a creative concept with plenty of potential. With a little more refinement and consistency, I think it could go from "good" to something you genuinely crave and keep coming back for.

A two egg breakfast, an order of lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of bacon, and two coffees was $50. That's insane for an average breakfast pre-tip. I would not call the side of bacon generous to justify the cost, it was two small strips. I was underwhelmed by the lemon ricotta pancakes. They were plain pancakes with a bitter lemon ricotta drizzle on the top layer. I've had some amazing lemon ricotta pancakes elsewhere. Whatever recipe they are using for the lemon ricotta is just not good. The drizzle was dry and so bitter. I usually don't use syrup but these needed syrup because they were so bitter. The cleanliness of this establishment is questionable, which is likely why we won't return. One of the glasses set at the table was dirty. We did get a new one when requested. The bottle of water provided appeared dirty, which we noticed after being there awhile. When I asked for a to go box, the busser went to the back to get one for me. After the gentleman walked away I looked in the box before placing my food in, and saw crumbs in one corner and short dark hairs. By this point we had reached the end of our dining experience, so it wasn't worth making a fuss over, we just left. That said, anytime I see this level of uncleanliness as a customer it begs the question: how clean is the kitchen?

It used to have a cola glaze, but these just had some seasoning. The nachos were just ok. The Cuban pressed panini was not pressed...just a roll. The side of rice was over cooked and bland. And the kids pasta meals were not good. They barely had two bites. The only thing they ate was the ice cream, which we had to remind the server about. Overall, I am so disappointed. I honestly can't say I would ever come back. Very sad.
