Very good food! The hash browns were wonderfully seasoned and the perfect amount of crisp to them! We sat outside-- it's still a nice spot, but sad that they did away with the really great/decorated set up they had around COVID times. Service was fair.
I stopped by here for a post-hike meal this past Saturday afternoon. Coincidentally, the best kosher pizza I've ever had (disclaimer - I'm not Jewish/kosher, but I've had my share of kosher food over the past year) is right down the street at Zevy's, but obviously that was a no-go on a Saturday. Without doing any prelim research, I walked down the street, saw that this place had a legit breakfast menu that I was in the mood for, and wandered in. The interior is pretty generic, basically your average diner though it didn't look rundown or divey. I made eye contact immediately with a waiter, who told me to sit wherever I wanted, and I was assisted shortly thereafter. Like a diner, the menu is fairly lengthy, with options for any meal in the day. After going back and forth on a few egg-centric dishes, I settled on the California Benedict ($14), which unsurprisingly featured avocado, as well as bacon. I liked the Benedict portion, though it was a little small for my appetite - that's partly from the hike, but you can see from the picture that it's practically dwarfed by the accompanying home fries. I'd upgrade to a slightly larger sized egg and biscuit/English muffin (not sure which it was) if only to make the optics a little better. The home fries were just okay - they were cooked fine, but I had to douse them with a healthy sprinkling of pepper, which I rarely do. Adding some seasoning into the cooking process would go a long way with them, especially since it's such a generous helping. The service was very good. I was thirsty (see above references to hike), and the waiter kept my water glass from completely emptying as I rehydrated. It didn't take long to order or get my food, and he also stopped by once or twice to check in. There was an additional employee who was assisting with bussing the tables, and that certainly helped as well. Honestly in the post-COVID era, when is the last time you saw a place arguably OVERstaffed? The price point was reasonable in my estimation as well. I'm not too familiar with Fair Lawn (this was my first time in their downtown area), but it's probably a LITTLE more blue collar than some of its neighboring towns, and the prices likely reflect that. Very pleasant meal that hit the spot though - I would have no issue returning if another Eggs Benedict-related hankering arose.
We arrived at Fisher's Cafe around 9am on a Saturday morning. There were about 3 occupied tables, what I imagine is a fairly slow morning for a breakfast spot. We sat down, and it took over 5 minutes for us to get our menus - wet and sticky, at that. We waited again to order - three very simple breakfast items (two breakfast platters and pancakes with fruit). After waiting 30 minutes for our food, I noticed they had just put the pancakes on the griddle. With a toddler and an infant (who was getting increasingly agitated, sitting at an empty table with no food), we finally asked that they pack our food to go. No apologies for the late service, no acknowledgment that we'd been waiting over half an hour for bacon, eggs, and toast. To add insult to injury, they had the audacity to charge $6 for this amount of fruit ($7.95 for pancakes with coffee, $13.95 for "fruity patootie" - the same pancakes with fresh fruit - no coffee). I'm a mom so I know the cost of fruit has gone up, but this does not warrant a $6 up-charge. As they started packing our order, we noticed the gentleman who had walked in 15-20 minutes after us was already eating his food. Maybe because he hugged the owner/staff when he arrived? Who knows. An hour and $45 later, we went home to put the baby down for a nap and to eat our cold, soggy breakfasts. We had contemplated leaving without the food and canceling our orders, but didn't want to do that to a small business. It's too bad they didn't have the same level of courtesy for our family. We had high hopes for Fisher's Cafe from the reviews, but we probably won't be back again.
A hidden gem. I went with a group of three for lunch and we immediately were greeted by the employees upon entering. The atmosphere inside is nice- cute decor and music playing. The music is at an ideal volume to allow you to enjoy it while also allowing for conversation. The menu has so many good options it was difficult to choose. I ordered cafe con leche (coffee with milk) which was good. My sister ordered an iced caramel latte which she loved. As my meal I ordered the California eggs Benedict and an extra side of bacon which were really good. My only comment is that the staff should have provided a sharper knife to cut through the English muffin for my dish. Service was great. The server was friendly and very attentive. He filled our waters and coffee without us having to ask and came by to check if we needed anything without being overbearing. They have an outdoor seating area in the back. We will definitely return!
Fishers café is walkable for me. We went here for breakfast around 10 AM. Plenty of seating and attentive service. The menu is wide and varied with typical diner fare. The eggs Benedict was pretty good. Coffee was pretty good, too. There's a back patio for when the weather is warm. There's parking across the street or right in front. If you're in Fair Lawn, it's a solid bet.
Plenty of parking in the back of the restaurant. Outside dining as well. I ordered the California egg Benedict, the egg was cooked to perfection & the bacon was crispy. They didn't add the avocado which it was suppose to come with. The potato hash was very good too. Mediterranean omelette was very tasty, not to heavy. Nice local restaurant.
This is my second time visiting Fisher's Cafe. The first time they were closed at 3pm, though on google it says 8pm. They must've been on break. Either way, I'll be returning. As you walk into the restaurant the scenery and ambiance is really nice, you can tell they paid attention to the details. 7/10 The service is great once someone finally speaks to you. I believe that this is a small family business where everyone chips in and I love to see that! In my experience, I got my own menu, sat myself and ordered at the front. It would be nice to be greeted by someone. 7/10 AND THE FOOOOOOD 8.5/10 I ordered the tostones with guacamole for starters which I really enjoyed. The guac was fresh and tasty, could've used a bit more seasoning for my liking. I ordered the crispy chicken panini and it was indeed crispy, good temperature, cheesy and delicious! The serving of fries were relatively small.
Never noticed this place and I've been in this area since 1989! You really miss it, if you are not looking for it. Tried it for lunch and it was very good. Most people seemed to be ordering breakfast type foods but I got a Philly Cheesesteak and Cheese fries (I had a craving). Both were very good. The Philly Cheesesteak was NOT a traditional Philly Cheesesteak of thinly sliced steak meat .. but more like a strip steak that was cut up into smaller chunks and then put on a round kaiser roll. Still, it was good and the portions were decent. The fries did NOT come with the sandwich so lunch, including coffee was $20, not including tip. Still, it was good and the burgers I saw looked delicious, too so I'll have to come back and try a few different things. I don't think there was any salt on the fries, which I could have added myself - but didn't. Hey, I'm trying to eat healthy haha. Loved the the old-school diner atmosphere and also the classic rock from the 70's playing (I'm old!). Only one cook and a waitress but it wasn't a long wait. The cook was moving very fast and I was impressed with his skills. He was working his tail off. I sat at the counter but there are several booths, too. Haven't seen the outdoor seating yet. Looks nice, from the pictures I saw. Posting a pic. How delicious does that look???
We came in for breakfast before errands Saturday morning. Saw a sign on the door that they were currently only accepting Cash or Zelle payments. We have Zelle through TD, so we still went in. Fisher's is where you go for the basics done right. No fuss or frills, just good breakfast food. Worth checking out - it might turn into your go-to diner.
Such a nice cafe shop with a huge menu! There is plenty of street parking around the restaurant and we have arming in the back. The staff was so friendly and attentive. There is so much to choose from we need a few minutes to order. The omelette was cooked to perfection. My toast was a little over done but they everything else was tasty. They have long open hours for a cafe shop which we really liked. Everything is cooked to order. Coffee was made fresh to order as well.
Outside seating is so cute and the restaurant smelled so good from the parking lot so I was very excited to try it. Needless to say that's where my excitement ended. We walked in the waitress stated they had a large party so the food would take a while. We waited probably 10-15 minutes for the menus and again for water to come. I asked how long the food would come out before ordering because if it would have taken a long time we would have just left. The waitress said probably 15 minutes since the large party already got most of their food, so I figured that wasn't too bad. But an hour later and the food still isn't here. Honestly if you have a big party and can't manage other guests too then you shouldn't be open to the public. Two waitresses came by to apologize for the wait. One had her mask under her nose the whole time!! What's the point of wearing it ?? I understand they are very busy but it's still not okay to make guests wait that long and give false wait times. The food came out 1 hour and 30 mins waiting for the food. My boyfriend ordered an Italian Panini with out onions and he had to correct the waitress twice, the first time she had down an omelette ? But when it came out there were onions and incorrect fries. I ordered the shrimp fajitas which were actually good. The shrimp had a lot of flavor and the rice was well made. Also when the food came we asked for the check right away since every thing took so long. The waitress came back around but didn't have the check we asked her again she just looked at us and walked away. Cute spot but I would never return. I never had service like that before. Would not recommend.
Came across this spot passing through. Diner food, it was ok. Couple of omelets & Gyro platter. Clean place service ok.
I needed a little yelp help to look for breakfast this morning...little sleepy still.Haha Great service and very good food. Lots of locals, so that's a good thing...we will be back...Cheers!

Cute little cafe with an exstensive breakfast and lunch menu! I had come here specifically to try one of their eggs benedict dishes, since it seemed like most reviewers fancied them. Also I was interested to see where it was located since I had lived in Fair Lawn for over half of my life and had never heard of or seen this place before! God knows they could use another breakfast place around there since the only other options are either land and sea (ugh), empress diner, or some bagel joints! So we drove around looking for it and passed right by a few times. My guess is that the cursive window writing kind of threw us off... Once inside we were greeted by a nice gentleman who gave us menus and sat us right away. I was amazed too see the variety of food we could choose from! There was literally a whole page of eggs benedict alone! I opted for the Blackstone benedict which was an over easy egg with hollandaise sauce, spinach and avacado on an English muffin. I added on Canadian bacon, to make it seem like more of a real eggs benedict, lol. I chose the breakfast potatoes as a side. My cousin chose the town platter which was like eggs, hash browns, some sausage and toast. In addition to his meal he got a little glass of juice, literally 3 sips and done lol. My dish was pretty good the egg cooked just right and a great hollandaise sauce! My only complaint was that the English muffin was a little hard to cut through, like a bit chewy... Other then that my dish was tasty and very filling! My cousin enjoyed his food as well. The owner or manager of this place was very nice and was even talking to us about Yelp. I would definitely come again to try some other dishes! read more

A very unique and distinct taste, not your typical diner/cafe folks. I very much enjoyed both of my meals here (today is my second visit in a row, my bf is incredulous) and I have to say it was AWESOME (both times)! The "Huevos Rancheros" that I ordered each time were soOoOo good. I'll be uploading a photo of it, you need to taste it. The avocado was soft, the poco de gallo was fresh, and the eggs were cooked to "over easy" perfection. They were also served with three warm soft flour tortillas so eat with. Seasoned it with salt and pepper to suit my liking, and BAM you got yerself a regular customer. The cafe is set with booth seating, which I personally enjoy and it just smells mad good inside. They have parking outside, and their hours are pretty good. I think the owner is Dominican, I'm almost sure of it. But either way, my people at Fisher's Cafe make the best tasting food on the planet, so I have to tell my fellow Yelpers where the breakfast goodies are. Happy eating! read more
