You all know I can be tough on hot dog joints because I'm kind of a snob. I know what I like so I…read moretry to be open-minded about new places I'm trying. No worries here, Cruz-Missle Hot Dogs was fantastic. Came here with two work buddies and we were a little early so we had the place to ourselves (though a few people came in while we were there for to-go lunches). I love Thumann's dogs so I had the Cruz-Missile specialty dog with a Thumann's. Came with hot chili, spicy cooked onions, spicy mustard and pickled jalapeños. I also had a Snap-O-Razzo brand dog with chili, mustard, and kraut. We also shared fries, onion rings and the owner let us try his mozzarella sticks. I thought the Cruz-Missile would be a bit sloppy, but it was the perfect amount of toppings and as good as the toppings were, they didn't overwhelm the flavor of the dog. This was my first time tasting the Snap-O-Razzo dog and it was a home run. The flavor of the dog just popped and it's really delicious-unlike any other hot dog I've ever tasted. The fries, rings and mozzarella sticks were also delicious. Owner actually brought us out a second round of onion rings because the first ones weren't his hand battered rings and he wanted us to taste the real thing. Owner is a former police officer and the decor around the place is very first-responder friendly. We spoke with him at length about opening the place, why he uses the dogs and ingredients he uses, and some of the issues he's had. It was a great experience. I've eaten a LOT of dogs in a LOT of places in Jersey and while I'm not gonna put them at the top of my personal Top Hot Dogs list, in my opinion...it's in my top five...another trip is needed to perhaps move it up slightly.

You will love that first bite-you can literally hear the snap! Thumanns also makes a delish hotdog and there so many variations! The 100% sirloin beef smash burgers are so juicy and well seasoned. The Cuban sandwich should NOT be missed-filled with roasted pork, fresh ham, pickled onions with cheese on fresh Portuguese bread. Insta: @thehungrysw

Great staff, super welcoming. Small place but enough to sit and eat comfortably…read more My friend and I stopped by for lunch to try their cheesesteaks, I got a chicken and she got regular. Both were good we just wish there was a bit more sauce to them. The bread is delicious though, super soft and crunchy on the outside. Their fries are great too, homemade and tasty. I'll definitely be back to try their disco fries. While we enjoyed this trip, I think I'll definitely come back to try their burgers too. They offer milkshakes too- which we split and it was a nice treat to finish lunch. This is definitely a place you can come to indulge in some cravings!

Thank you Wallington Diner for taking our order!…read more We were undecided what to eat and last minute we came to the diner. We already had in mind what we wanted to eat so ordering was quick and easy. Even though it was close to closing time, they still welcomed us. We ordered the French onion soup & chicken noodle soup with a side of grilled cheese. Really yummy! Looking forward in trying something else from the menu.

There were only a few other diners at the time but I'm sure it gets packed later on, as I'm sure everyone wants to sleep in on the weekends. I had the pastrami sandwich and upgraded to disco fries. It wasn't bad overall. Of course, it's not going to be the best pastrami sandwich, but it'll do in a pinch. I'd probably come back and check out some other menu items. The décor in the diner was very cute and had vintage vibes, but still felt clean and comfortable.

Jim Dandy's 102 Park Ave…read more Rutherford, NJ 07070 Mango Habanero Wings Smoked Brisket Full Rack of Ribs Bird In Hand Smoked Pork I randomly found out across this barbecue restaurant as I walked along the main strip. Having no knowledge of this location, my curiosity led me inside. Jose, the manager, told me the chef prepares a homemade barbecue sauce, which has been a family secret recipe for over 30 years. Jose also brought to my attention a really great deal offered on Tuesdays: full rack of ribs for the cost of a half rack! He gave me a free sample of the secret sauce. That spoon size taste went a long way as I was immediately hooked by its flavor and tanginess. With the exception of the wings, I tried the sauce on all of their killer meats! The tender, juicy brisket melted in my mouth. The pork ribs fell right off the bone. My personal favorite was the bird in hand. This half chicken made me feel like I was in dining at Medieval Times in Lyndhurst! The only thing missing was a tournament with gladiators grappling in a colosseum! Between the tasty meats, strictly confidential house made barbecue sauce, and the excellent service from the manager and the servers, I was very content and my crave for barbecue has been happily fulfilled! #jimdandys #killermeats #barbecue #MangoHabanero #smokedbrisket #rackofribs #pulledpork #barbecuechicken

Jim Dandy's is a laid-back BBQ spot in Rutherford that delivers solid comfort food in a cozy,…read moreno-fuss setting. The ambiance is casual and welcoming-- It's not fancy, but that's part of its charm. The staff seem friendly and attentive. The food is hearty and flavorful, especially the wings! The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender. However, our only drawback was the heavy hand with the BBQ sauce--it overwhelmed the smoky flavor of the meat. If you like your ribs super saucy and sloppy, you'll probably love them, but it might be too much for those who prefer a more balanced bite. It's BYOB, so bring your favorite bottle--because ribs taste better with a drink in hand and no corkage fee in sight, right?
