    summer corn chowder
    Bre Y.

    I've been ordering from here regularly since my first review. Their soup is my go to, so many different rotating soups, all fresh, homemade, and flavorful. There isn't another restaurant I can think of that offers that. Soup stand outs: Corn Chowder, Chicken Noodle, Baked Potato, Broccoli Cheddar, and the Thai Coconut Curry Carrot. I also love their sandwiches, like the Urs, the Gunther, and the Bearbo. My go to is the Gunther, but instead of the aioli, I add balsamic glaze and a side of their chimichuri. The Bearbo is a two person breakfast sandwich, and I say this as someone who always finishes their meal. It is a crusty bread roll stuffed with eggs, cheese, and pork roll ("taylor ham," where I'm from it's called pork roll!). Indulgent and incredible. Gunthers is a staple in my rotation and should be in yours too!

    Amazing coffee shop in Ridgewood! Their coffee is really good quality and they have a full food/breakfast menu too. The staff is extremely friendly and kind, and I always enjoy chatting with whoever is working. There is limited seating but it has a very classic coffee shop ambiance. Also, The Gunther is the cutest pup!!

    Delicious sandwich and burgers. Can't wait to come back to try the soups bc I love soup so much. The drink was solid. Nothing was overly sweet. Love the interior and dog inspired arts. Service was smooth.

    The Kithy one of my favorites with bacon  A must try!

    Food Yummy Service : excellent Ambiance Casual I love it! Its a pet friendly place, so dont hesitate to bring your furry friend

    seasonal special: key lime matcha latte
    Chantel T.

    The food was great! The Spicy Pickle Smash Burger was delicious and very satisfying -- great flavors and cooked very well. The Key Lime Matcha Latte was interesting, I liked the concept of it as well as the Graham Crackers and Whipped Cream, but to me tasted more like Key Lime than matcha. Only docking a star because I noticed that service during lunch on a Monday was pretty slow -- the staff is really friendly, but wish they gave a heads up as to current wait times. It took 15 minutes to get my drink even though I was the next order up, and 35 minutes for my burger to come out. The table next to me also had to go inside and ask about their order since it was taking awhile. Definitely understand ironing out service kinks since they are new, but I'd probably just order in advance and call in instead of dining in next time.

    Half a Turkey Sando and sparking lemonade
    Mari T.

    I went with a friend for brunch on Saturday around 1:30 PM. The place is fairly small so it gets packed quickly. She got there before me and was able to snag a table but it was pretty hard to get one. although I did see a bit of change with the table next to me so maybe there is a way to get a table inside. they have AC however the windows are open so it's not super cold. There's also outdoor seating. I got the turkey Sando, which comes with a slaw and an aïoli. It was delicious and very filling, I took half of it home. And I also had the sparkling lemonade they make there with earl gray, which was amazing. my friend got the ricotta toast, which she found delicious and got the egg sandwich which she also liked. I like their menu much more than salty lady luncheonette but salty lady has a lot more space which is nice.

    Gunther's is a must-visit spot for sandwich lovers! Their sandwiches are absolutely amazing, and the service is top-notch. You won't be disappointed with the delicious food and excellent service at Gunther's.

    Background sandwich is The Akio. Foreground is The Kithy. Both tasty!

    *4.5 stars We went…read more3 mins before opening on a Friday and there was already a line. After ordering, you need to wait 15 minutes before your sandwich is out - at least there's a lot of searing inside so you can definitely enjoy your sandwich inside!! Got the two most popular sandwiches - dill party and chicky. - dill party (4.5/5): this sandwich was almost perfect - the only thing it was missing was the crunch factor. The bread could have been slightly more toasted (it was a bit soft and didn't have a crunch), there could have been more pickled, or the addition of chips in the sandwich, but other than that, the ingredients of the sandwich were so fresh and the turkey was perfect - not dry at all, not too much as it may seem - chicky (4.5/5): this sandwich was a bit heavier. the bread was cooked a bit better but could have been a bit more toasted, but the chicken meatball - holy moly this was perfect. it was so soft and juicy and full of flavor Overall, this sandwich spot is definitely worth the trek and visit to try it out. the only thing that would make it 5 stars is just slightly more toasted sandwiches :)

    I read about this restaurant opening as one of the new contender's joining Ridgewood's cohort of…read more"woke-ish" restaurants and, while filling the role as a civic business to bring in something fresh and truly, exciting business to the community, I was a bit underwhelmed with the whole experience- from waiting a good 45 minutes to receive my order of what seemed to be a Boar's Head Turkey cold-cut sandwich with about a cup of dill mayo and to having to actually bus my own plate on top of the overrun pile of dishes stacked atop each other at the entrance of the restaurant, I felt a bit hollow in my expectations from what I espoused earlier during my hearing word of this restaurant not too long ago. As far as the dining area- The restaurant was spacious, composed of neatly lined tables and chairs with their centerpiece luncheonette bar gracing the room. Their al fresco arrangement was remarkable- with their lighter hued blue and green colored metallic seats and tables quietly lining the corner of Menahan street. A softboi haven. I imagined this to be a type of restaurant where a newlywed Mormon couple in the Great Plains would run. A place where pleasantries and support for one's neighbor is what mattered. "Another delicious sandwich, Hezekiah. See you guys in church." but truthfully, I felt a bit sour overriding my preference for the reliable in favor for the novel. A half chicken over yellow rice with plantains might have been the better option for my pocket, palate, and my need to protein max. But woe is me. Regardless, I'll have to respectfully pass on seconds at the Salty Lunch Lady's.

Every staff member was super young--barely legal or not even. Every interaction felt like staff were practicing their lines, playing a role in a play, and us, customers, were just cast. Waiters and buss boys were speaking to us like we were dumb/deaf/on the spectrum/high/drunk. It was so disconcerting. Never had such weird experience. Made me so uncomfortable. We were the first ones in the door with 11am reservation on a Saturday. The place filled up quickly. High noise level. Not the best for large groups. The burgers sell out quickly, as only 68 are prepared daily, so we snagged those right away. So delicious. Double smashed cheeseburger--simple and satisfying. Very rich. Would return for this again. French toast was disappointing. Looked pretty but tasted of nothing. It wasn't French toast in a traditional preparation: it was bread pudding cut into a slice and drizzled with syrup and served French toast style. The texture was of a moist but bland bread pudding. Utterly disappointing. Skip. War potatoes (crispy potatoes that are served as a side, with a dollop of super spicy sauce) were very tasty. Double or triple fried to a crispy perfection. Love me some perfectly crisp potatoes. These are super caloric, so prepare for some heartburn after. Ask for war sauce on the side because it is SPICY. House made pistachio gelato was superb. So many pistachios--I'd eat this daily and would return for this!

Seriously it's like walking back into the 90s in Ridgewood. I'm not gonna lie, I had high expectations for being a bespoke southern breakfast sandwich shop because I like my morning flavors savory. They had some fun ideas like a cheese something biscuit whatever but I wouldn't know cause they gave me the wrong sandwich.

They also make a MEAN bundt cake that I forgot to take a pic of. My ONLY hiccup with them is their wait time.

If there were a footrest bar at the bottom it might've helped, but as it was, my butt was not fitting on that seat. I basically had one foot on the floor and one on my friend's chair just to keep myself from sliding off. Graceful! We ordered two espresso martinis and a slice of tiramisu. Both were absolutely lovely and the perfect way to end the night. The staff were friendly, fast, and really on top of things. Next time I'd definitely come for a table, and maybe a proper meal, because the dishes coming out of the kitchen looked divine. My only gripe? Seventeen dollars for an espresso martini feels... ambitious for Ridgewood. It's not like this is some high-end cocktail bar, it's an elevated pizzeria. I'm not sure I'd come back specifically for the drinks, but I'd absolutely come back for the food and the service. I took home a second piece of that tiramisu. It was so delicious!

This guy is my hero. We ordered the calamari to start. And Nick had a Birra Morreti and I had the "Diesel" cocktail that had the perfect amaro mix! The cocktail was balanced with sweet, strong and still remained smooth. The mushroom "Funghi" pizza was banging. I loved seeing the whole mushrooms on top. And the pesto marries well with the flavors. We devoured our decadent date night meal while time traveling to a different era with the tunes.

I came here my first time visit in May 2021 and there were few items on the menu, that are Italian sandwich and there were little or no choices for breakfast, and the breakfast hours had no limit, until this year 2023, as I ate her "breakfast" ham, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich at 5 in the afternoon. And also, that was how she ran out of ingredients for breakfast sandwich, which now in 2023 limited the sales of breakfast sandwiches to opening time thru 2 in the afternoon. Also, until I had my promotion on my part time job which started in February 2023, I stopped going to this place due to the rising prices inflation and went someplace else where is cheaper. So I can get used to the expenses, and therefore as I expected, it definitely will be nice if this store can innovate to sell more various types of Italian food imported from anywhere of European country- not only from Italy.
