    Fries

    Stumbled upon this place today and so happy I stopped. Warm welcome as walked in door. Service was amazing they have indoor seating and few tables on the outside. Order at counter and they bring to you. I ordered the gyro platter and was amazing. Hot and fresh. Great flavor and all. I requested fries nice and crispy and were definitely prepared right. Definitely recommend and will be there again soon.

    Smaller place, but good food. Though a bit of a wait before we were able to get a table, our food came out quickly.

    Deliciousness.

    Jackie's has expanded and it continues to be delicious and fresh. I've gone to the one in East Orange, and found this one on our way to the west side of NJ. Same awesome service, delicious latte, and food for everyone.

    An excellent lunch! We ordered the Shawarma Bowl, the Freekeh Bowl, and a Grilled Veg. Sandwich. The bread was crispy on the outside and freshly baked and the bowls were surprisingly tasty. We sat outside on this nice autumn day and were treated to excellent friendly service and excellent lunch. Ill be back to see what's good for breakfast.

    I came here awhile back for a yelp elite event and finally made it back with a friend for weekend brunch. First off weekends here are insane and it takes awhile to get a table. They do not take reservations. So this is a bit weird as there is no table service. You order at the register and your food is brought out to the table. So technically there is no need for tipping as you don't actually get full service. I ordered a beet cleanse juice and it was pretty good and a decent size for shy of $10. I ordered the lamb gyro which was huge however a huge pet peeve of mine is when they wrap and roll the waxed paper and foil into the sandwich. I had to completely unroll it to be able to eat the gyro without eating waxed paper or foil. That was extremely messy but still a good sandwich. For $13 it was a nice size but definitely should come with type of side. My friend ordered the tuna melt which 95% of it ended up on his plate as he took the first bite as the cheese was barely melted if at all. He said it was good but each bite more and more of it fell apart and was a struggle to eat like a normal sandwich. He ended up eating it with his fork. We ordered a fry to share and they needed salt which took a while for us to flag someone down for salt and pepper as they are not on the table. Also it was extremely tight fitting the tables are right on top of one another. I will say that the food is good just prepare for long waits and to be smushed and getting in and out of the tables is tight.

    I came across this gem in Wayne, NJ. It's in a strip mall, not large, but the food and service are exceptional. The host staff were super friendly, accommodating, and were accurate with the wait times. The restaurant has exemplary service and I really enjoyed the presentation of every item. Even the water was presented in a nice carafe with mint leaves. Paying attention to the details made a big difference in the enjoyment of the meal. My Chai Tea Latte was very good and beautifully created. Even the cup was unique, as you'll see in the photo. The main selections were, as follows: Freekeh Bowl (Freekeh base, arugula, avocado, chicken kabob, grilled vegetables, chick peas, cherry tomato, and hummus). I cannot give enough kudos to this bowl. It was fresh, LARGE, filling, and every ingredient was an absolute delight to enjoy. This was the first time that I had "Freekeh." In case anyone is curious if it's better than rice, here you go: Yes, freekeh is generally considered more nutritious and healthier than rice. It boasts more fiber, protein, iron, and other minerals compared to both white and brown rice. Freekeh also tends to have a lower glycemic index, which can be beneficial for blood sugar control. The next item was the Avocado Toast (avo mash, roasted tomato, fried egg, feta, sourdough). The last item was Egg & Cheese. The buttery bread was incredible, as well as the generous amount of both egg and cheese. I am very glad, that I visited Jackie Smalls, and recommend it to every Yelper.

    Yummy food, great ambiance. Chicken shawarma was tasty, as were the pastries. Server was attentive. Wish there were cute yummy food places like this where I live.

    Decent price with the discount

    I didn't even make it out of the parking lot. I just took down a whole bag of fries and a chicken Shawarma in like seven minutes. I've been wanting to try this place for a year, but I usually go grocery shopping on Sunday so I always miss the opportunity to go. I will be grocery shopping on Saturday from now on so I can continue to get Jackie smalls.

    This place has quickly become a favorite! The menu is so delicious that I never ordered the same thing twice yet and I want to try everything. The vibes are great and they have free WiFi. I like to spend a meeting-free morning here so I can eat some great food while working.

    i've been a huge fan of jackie's grillette in montclair forever so it was finally time for me to try jackie smalls. the menu is really similar to the other locations but its smaller (duh) and brunchier. the BLTA was one of the best sandwiches i've had and we will definitely be back to eat the heavenly bread again. i have to say i was disappointed in the shakshuka though. i didn't enjoy the flavor profile of the spices and i had agita all afternoon. i'm obviously alone in this opinion due to the rave reviews and even my husband devoured the whole dish and loved it, but if you have a more sensitive tummy i would pick something else!

    Breakfast Burrito.

    I've been to Jackie Smalls a few times now. The food is always really good and the staff is nice, but I can never QUITE get there with it because of the environment/location. I decided to stop by yesterday (a Friday) for lunch a little after 1pm. I'm in Little Falls basically one town over, and yet it's rare I drive into Wayne. Honestly, it's one of my least favorite activities - there's always a ton of traffic, a gazillion stoplights, and what on paper should be a 10-minute drive is closer to 20 to 25 minutes. It's just the worst. Jackie Smalls didn't invent Wayne, but it's tough to summon up the enthusiasm for the place when the journey to get there isn't pleasant. And that for sure includes the chaotic parking lot it's in, right next to the Whole Foods. Jackie Smalls is sort of tucked away in the back, which means you also have to drive across/through most of the parking lot to get there. Yesterday wasn't too bad in that regard, to be fair, though the area immediately in front of Jackie's was pretty crowded and I opted to park closer to Valley Road instead and walk a little longer. No big deal. I'll take my steps where I can get them. Jackie Smalls is the right name - it's a pretty tiny establishment with minimal seating. Every time I've attempted to come here (and I'll admit, it's almost always during what should be a normal/busy time), there has never been sit-down table availability and yesterday was no different. They also get a ton of pick-up order traffic, so the entrance area is constantly busy. As soon as I saw the situation, I went up to the counter and ordered the Breakfast Burrito and a Blueberry Scone to go instead of rolling the dice and putting my name in for a seat. So it goes. The gentleman at the counter was very nice though, which to me was notable given that he was clearly super busy and juggling a handful of obligations. And the scone was provided immediately, so I at least had that to munch on while I sat near the door and waited for the burrito. The scone was good; probably my favorite characteristic of a good scone is sugar granules on the top, and this had that in spades. Decent size and consistency, and while it was a little crumbly, that goes with the territory. The only part I wasn't crazy about (and this is a personal preference) is that I don't like fruit scones where the berry inside is liquid/melting. Not an ideal texture for me. But I'd get this one again, and from what I recall, they usually have a few other edgy options that I was probably too late in the day for. A strong pastry game overall, which is a big benefit when you have a lot of casual walk-in traffic there to just grab a quick coffee. The burrito was ready to go within 10 minutes, noteworthy given how busy it was; whatever is happening behind the scenes is working. This was the one savory item on the menu that really jumped out at me because I'm not a big Mediterranean cuisine person, and it's a tasty one. The decision to bypass a meat in favor of potatoes gives it an interesting texture (though calorically, it might be a wash, but I don't think anyone eating a burrito has any business making direct eye contact with a scale any time soon) and the cheddar cheese provides an important moistness given that this doesn't have any condiments/sauces inside. I can completely understand why this place has almost universally perfect ratings; when the food and service are high quality, it's hard to go wrong. But for me, the congestion both inside and outside this place is just enough of a deterrent where it's honestly going to be a while before I come back. I'm rooting for them to get a second, more convenient location.

    Hello! Is your meat halal or kosher?

    Hi! Our menu is not entirely halal, but our chicken kabob, lamb kabob & chicken shawarma is halal.

    Does breakfast end at a particular time or can you order from that menu all day?

    Our breakfast menu is available all day!

    Any chance you will ever be open on Sunday ? I have heard great things about this place but work 6 days and it's virtually impossible for me to try it otherwise. Thanks

    Hi Daniel! Unfortunately Sunday operations are not part of our business plan anytime soon. Perhaps you can try us for delivery via UberEats or DoorDash if your job is within proximity of our business! We’re sorry that our operating hours do not… 

    Are there any gluten free options?

    Yep! I went when following a gluten and dairy free diet and was able to get one of their bowls! I customized it to not have cheese though.

(Reservations are not that easy to make last minute.) The restaurant is big and open but always busy. Kids get wax craft sticks to play with and bend into cool shapes, which I find very unique and cool. I feel like there is a difference between a diner and a true brunch place. A diner, of which there are numerous in New Jersey, is a establishment that churns out inexpensive, and potentially excellent, but very standard breakfast food - omelettes, pancakes, benedicts and the like. A true brunch place, on the other hand, offers things like lemon ricotta pancakes, cacio e pepe scrambles, mushroom thyme omelettes and shakshuka. Willow & Whisk is that kind of brunch place, and which is rare in New Jersey. The food options are varied, very tasty, and with good portion sizes. I love the shakshuka and the mushroom thyme omelette. Oh gosh, when is our next reservation again?

The highlight was definitely the Stuffed French Toast. It looked beautiful, and I expected it to be overly sweet, but it was surprisingly well balanced. The toast was soft with a slightly crispy exterior, and the cream cheese filling paired really well with the strawberry compote. We also ordered the BLT+. The smoked bacon was delicious, but the focaccia was a little too thin and hard, making it harder to eat than I expected. The house-made sausage was good, just not particularly memorable. As for the coffee, it was probably the most disappointing part of the meal. The latte wasn't very smooth, and the cold brew had a slight off taste. They were both drinkable, just not something I'd order again. Overall, I'd recommend this place for the food and the atmosphere, especially if you're interested in the French toast. There's also parking behind the restaurant, which makes visiting easy.

In any case, visited The Saucy Cup around 9:45AM to a small but totally doable line. Actually -- no line even, because most of the people were still deciding what to order which left the "Order Here" window completely empty for me to swoop in. After briefly glancing at the menu, I decided on getting both a food and drink item: for food, I got the 4 Cheese Quiche and for drink, the wonderfully titled Caramel Miso Iced Latte. First, the quiche: it is not a quiche, lol - it's a buttery and flaky pastry with a cheesy quiche-like middle, with a subtle onion flavor as well. It is served with a pink sauce -- and after trying it, the base is definitely ketchup and mayonnaise. It tasted very good, for being a quichessant. Second, the caramel miso latte: if you are a Dulce de leche or a salted caramel fan -- this is your jam. It doesn't have the same level of saltiness as those flavors often have, but it carried an appropriate amount of umami/savoriness. I give it the Asian compliment: "Not too sweet" -- which for a caramel drink is a rare find altogether. The Saucy Cup is a locally-owned business leaving their mark in Wayne -- stop by (preferably a weekday) to try them out! P.S: Only 7-8 parking spots! May you find parking when you visit!

The scone was a bit dry and hard and didn't give the flare of flavor I was hoping for-- I'd ordered a Mexican chocolate scone and wanted to taste deep smoky chocolate and spice.
