There was a decent ratio of marinara sauce and mozzarella. The cutlet could have been crispier and the bread needs to be slightly toasted. The overall appearance wasn't a sight for sore eyes, but it tasted a lot better than it looks. If you decide to dine here, be sure to have cash on hand because Denaro's does not accept credit cards or Apple Pay. #denaros #chickenparmesanhero #dumontnj

The 130 Shop (Located in Riveredge Row Strip Mall)…read more35 Riveredge Rd. Tenafly, NJ 07670 French Dip Tater Tots Marshmallow Soft Serve Appearance: 10/10 Taste: 10/10 Located in the Riveredge Row Strip Mall at the intersection of Riveredge Road and Tenafly Road is a locally owned high end sandwich shop. Let's check out the two course meal I explored: French Dip: This signature sandwich was loaded with shaved prime rib, bits of bell peppers and was topped with melted swiss cheese. It was perfectly diagonally sliced on an Italian baguette. The beef was tender and juicy; also included was a savory au jus and a sharp horseradish sauce which both enhanced the flavor. I was more than satisfied down to the very last bite. Tater Tots: The tots make an excellent side to the sandwich. They were crunchy on the outside while soft and pillowy on the inside. The ketchup is a pretty decent, but the garlic aioli wins the dipping contest by a long shot. Marshmallow Soft Serve: To close out the meal, I explored this heavenly dessert. Roasted marshmallow is added to the base of the ice cream. The appearance may be simple and plain Jane, but its rich, smooth, and creamy taste is in a league of its own. As a bonus, a complimentary water cooler with ice and lemon slices is available. If you do not wish to drink water, a variety of cans and bottles are available for purchase. Thank you server Hailey and the cooking crew for preparing a flawless meal. #the130shop #130shoptenafly #frenchdipsandwich #marshmallowsoftserve

What does one do on the day between Ash Wednesday and Friday in the first week of Lent? Eat MEAT!!!…read more If you are looking for a fantastic food oriented small business to accomplish this task, @the130shop has a menu full of meaty goodness. #The130Shop 's powers that be decided that @BigDudesBigFoods needed to try everything on menu! We started with the "French Dip" with plenty of au jus. Batting second was a delicious "BaconGrilledCheese" with cheddar & chihuahua cheese and some savory tomato soup for dipping. Joe & I hit up the "1/2. LB Meatball" samich next which was so good that you think that you are at a place that strictly makes meatball parm sandwiches. We tried the "130 Cheeseburger next with bacon lettuce and tomato . This double burger masterpiece is piled high and tasty too. As though there was any room on the table in came the "Buttermilk Fried Chicken" with cherry peppers, coleslaw, pickles and sherry Aïoli. That is no ordinary chicken sandwich. Also in this cruise buffet rivaling feast was a "Chicago Style Hotdog" with the works, perfectly cooked shoestring fries and crispy "tater tots." There was not a bad bite in the bunch. My favorite was the Bacon Grilled Cheese and I think Joe's was the 130 Cheeseburger but he also liked the horseradish sauce that came with the French Dip. Not that we want to disappoint our followers but there were doggy bags involved. The 130 Shop is really cool spot in Tenafly,NJ with a great staff and amazing chef.‍ It's part of a trio of establishments in the area with 130 Club and 130 Social. If you are ever in the area you've got to stop in. It's only a half hour from Yankees Stadium if you want to grab a bite once you are back in NJ. #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #BDBFCertified #BDBF

Owner Troy and his staff did an excellent job and I'm looking forward to exploring additional menu items. #griddlethis #curiousgeorge #curiousgeorgepancakes #banana #nutella #peanutbutter

The menu still maintains its Mediterranean flavor of hummus and dips, as well as Shashuka.

The omelette was surprisingly simple but perfectly done to my taste, with lots of fresh mushrooms !!!!! Would love to try the dips and eggplant fries next time.

Early into the new year I received an email "2025 Daily Voice Readers' Choice Awards" and it was…read moretheir 'Best Deli in Bergen County' that caught my attention. "Bambino's?! New Milford?!" - as someone that hits an Italian deli every single weekend I had to make the trek to see what's what. I excitedly walked in first thing on a Saturday morning and my Spidey senses started to tingle that something was amiss. In this long narrow storefront a lot of shelf space was given to... various bags of chips. And there were at least two racks full of... bagged breadcrumbs?! Everything just felt 'off' from all the other Italian delis in surrounding towns so I just got two items (which set me back over $40) and I found it really odd that instead of a secure plastic container for the meatballs and sauce they were put in a foam takeout container instead. (Really?! For something this soggy?!) As for the (overpriced) items I picked up? The meatballs and sauce - very good. The breaded chicken cutlets - extremely disappointing. The two people behind the counter - incredibly friendly. No joke: I immediately took a ride over to Luigi's in Wood-Ridge to get all the other items that Bambino's didn't offer. I'm baffled how this joint 'won' when Bergen County has an abundance of much better places... Michael's Salumeria (Lyndhurst), Annamaria's (East Rutherford), Piccolo's (Ridgefield), Bartolomeo's (Englewood) and, of course, Luigi's - all come to mind. (Yelping for a lot of years, over 700 reviews and still less than 40 two-star review. I really try my best to avoid being a Negative Nelly but sometimes...)

I was very hungry, and the hot dog looked huge. Well, this hot dog exceeded my expectations: the bun was soft and delicious; The sausage was incredibly flavorful. The combination of the mustard and the sweet caramelized onions on the top gave it an unparalleled flavor. I really liked it and was more than satisfied. I ordered some onion rings, and they were equally shockingly delicious. Unlike other onion rings, these were tempura- style battered, with a touch of salt, which makes me want to order them again when I remember them. My Bag came wrapped with a "thank you" note for me! A lovely touch! Congratulations CMC deli; congratulations to the entire team involved. Thank you so much for your delicious food, and God bless you. Of course I'll keep ordering from this place.

La Rancherita Bakery 181 N. Washington Ave…read more Bergenfield, NJ 07621 Sweet Bread Tacos: Pork/Chicken/Steak Flan While the exterior appears to be small and mediocre in appearance, the inside is filled with fantastic pastries at really affordable prices. There's no wall menu and the bakers primary language is Spanish, so I am unable to identify the types of sweet bread. Name or no name, the bread is a sweet choice to supplement your breakfast. They each have a light, puffy, and flaky texture and are great for dipping in your morning cup of Joe. If you aren't craving pastries, there is a lunch selection available. Double wrapped in two soft shells, the tacos are a quick, but satisfying meal. In my opinion, it wasn't necessary to include cucumbers and lime. But, the chopped radishes surprisingly gave the tacos a nice crunch and you can never have enough cilantro and hot sauce. Whether you are in the mood for breakfast or dessert pastries, stop by for treats that are light on both your tummy and wallet! #LaRancherita #sweetbread #flan #tacos #bergenfieldnj #nwashingtonave #spanishbakery

This is THE place to get Mexican food out here. Hands down. This is it…read more Tastes great. Big portions. And way more authentic than any of the other little shops I've tried around here. You know some of the ways to tell if ethnic food is good in a non enclave area? These aren't 100% but often good signs. The workers mostly don't speak English. The customers are all that ethnicity, many of them also speaking little to no English. They hit both. It helps a lot to speak Spanish, especially over the fone. But they make it work if all you know is gringo. Huge tortas. Surprisingly good shrimp quesadillas. Proper tacos and birria with the consommé. Refreshing salsa verde and creamy salsa roja. Big flavors. Admittedly I'm not a fan of their baked goods, but they do have good priced specials on them.

After trying this place multiple times, it has been a miss for me…read more The lunch special is 3 peices of chicken over rice, sometimes it comes with maduros, sometimes with beans, sometimes both. But everytime the chicken has been dry. Hot, but dry. The seasoning was also bland, both on the chicken and the beans. There was flavor, but it was more like a hint of flavoring. The empanadas I also found to be a bit too oily. One can argue that they are fried in oil, but I've also had fresh out of the frier emapandas that were the right crispness that did not also create a pool of oil when biting into it. Service was also slow. The workers were very busy with orders, which is great, it means the place is busy, popular, and has returning customers. But it takes a while to order in person, and then a while to recieve the already prepared food. Luckily there is a number of tables in the shop to wait for your food in the dining area. And while I'm ok with waiting for good food, it's tough to wait for food that is just mildly ok. I hope to try Cuban Eddie's again in the future, but for now it is not a "go to" spot to fill that crave or fix.
