Today I flipped a coin to see if I'd enjoy my favorite burger at Mel's Butcher Box or order it home. The coin tossed was to GO visit the restaurant Which was very nice, because today the town had a temperature of 23°C, delicious air, partly cloudy. I walked there. It helped me 'cause I did some exercise. It takes 23 minutes to go and 23 minutes get back home. Which is great, because that way I burn off all the calories from my burger . I ordered one Mel's Double burger and regular HOUSE fries with an ice-cold Coke. AMAZING FOOD!!! The place is always super clean. You can see people enjoy the place and customer service, just like I do. It's a place where I feel very comfortable, employees treat you warm and the food is so tasty. It continues to be my best burger option in the area. Excellent work to the entire team. My blessings again. Thank you so much.

Sliced Ribeye Cheesesteak

My husband wanted a really good cheesesteak and we've been having trouble finding one in the Bergen County area. He read about this place online so we decided to make the drive one Saturday to go try it out. We called it ahead of time and Mel answered the phone and was very friendly. It is very easy to find and we were able to get a parking spot right in front. I was surprised by the decor and how unique and cool it was when we walked inside. There is exposed brick and lots of Arcade style games. The place was empty when we arrived and our food was ready and Mel greeted us with a big smile. She mentioned how there is a karaoke night that she has often and that we should check it out. We ordered two sandwiches. One was the cheesesteak and one was the roasted pork. I preferred the roasted pork over the cheesesteak one. I thought the roasted pork was cooked perfectly and it had enough broccoli rob and cheese. It also had a great crisp on the outside, which I really liked. The cheesesteak the meat was really good and cooked very well, but there was some type of sauce on it that we did not care for that made it a little bit sweet. I don't know if it was worth the 30 minute drive to go there for the sandwiches, I'm happy we did go, but don't know if we'll do it again.

If you're looking for the PERFECT place to host a private event--or just want the BEST burger, milkshake, and onion rings of your life--go to Mel's Butcher Block in Tenafly. Full stop. We recently celebrated my son's graduation here, and I can't say enough about how amazing the experience was. Mel and her sister, Gina, went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. We rented the entire place for a Friday night party with 20-25 food-loving guests, and every single one of them was raving and highly impressed - and these are foodies, (from - NYC, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Long Island, Greenwich, Philly, Chicago, Maine, Vermont, Miami, Guatemala, Romania, Israel and Egypt); all BLOWN AWAY. The food? Absolutely off the charts. - Perfectly cooked hamburgers, cheesesteaks, chicken sandwiches - Creamy, fresh Caesar salad and mac & cheese - To-die-for onion rings - Killer fries and even potato skins that were a surprise hit - And the star: a jaw-dropping Tomahawk steak with my son's name and "Class of 2025" etched into the bone--an unforgettable touch. - And the milkshakes, delicious, were next level Beyond the food, Mel is simply the best. She was responsive, creative, thoughtful, and a joy to work with. She helped plan the menu, presentation, and even set up music and decorations. She made my son feel like a star, and that meant the world to us. My nieces and nephews loved the vintage pinball machines, and the whole space had the perfect energy--cozy but vibrant. Gina was outstanding too - constantly making sure everyone felt welcome, well taken care of, and was having a great time. She brought such a warmth and energy, ensuring every guest loved the food and felt special. You can tell Mel loves what she does. She's passionate, professional, warm, and deeply committed to making people happy through incredible food and a great experience. This place is a gem--whether you're planning an event or just stopping in for lunch, Mel's Butcher Block is a 10/10.

Bacon cheeseburger Chocolate shake

This was my first time trying Mel's Butcher box and I'll definitely be back! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with a chocolate milkshake and a chocolate chip cookie. Everything was absolutely amazing!

5 star! We loved the atmosphere and the food was beyond delicious! We had the sliders and sweet potato fries. Can't wait to go back and try more delicious food! The service was fast!

Mel's Double
Benedict C.

My friend and I stumbled upon Mel's after our original lunch plans fell through. The service was quick and friendly. My friend ordered a cheesesteak and I got the Mel's Double with a side of mac & cheese bites. The food came out quickly and everything was very solid. My burger had a good amount of meat and it was seasoned well. The onions and sauce complimented it perfectly. The meat was juicy and it had the right amount of cheese on top. The bun wasn't my favorite but it was not bad at all. Overall a very, very solid burger. The mac and cheese bites were solid as well. Nothing mind-blowing but I definitely enjoyed. My friend was also pleased with his cheesesteak. The place is pricey but they serve quality food. I would definitely come back.

I will start with the Ambiance. This place is awesome inside!! Love the fun decor, colors, and extras! Decorated for Halloween love that! Seasonal decor is the best! Check out my pictures. Very clean too!!! You can tell the people running this place the pride in it. Love that! Service was really good and they are in a really nice location. The burger! I ordered a plain cheddar cheeseburger and the meat quality was so good! The burger was juicy and had a really good grill char taste! Love that they have different options for cheese and not just American cheese. Nice menu selection especially for sides. Not huge on fries so usually prefer tots which they had! They were really good especially the spicy mayo sauce. The burger also came with homemade chips that were thin and crispy. Pretty good and I am not a big chip fan. Oreo milkshake was decent and they give you the thick straws which is like because the cookies always get stuck in the thin straws so that's a plus in my book! I will definitely be back for more!!

I just came across this fantastic spot just 3 minutes from my house. I couldn't believe I had not noticed this place before. My wife went out for a walk and noticed it so we went for an early dinner. The service was outstanding with the staff being friendly and welcoming. We sat in a nice looking booth decorated in really nice faux hide skins, and comfortable. The Cuban sandwich was truly delicious, using pork seasoned like my Puerto Rican grandmother made it. The sandwich was served with some home made chips and we ordered some sweet potato fries too, that were crispy and delicious. I had the pastrami sandwich which was served with some fantastic tasting slaw and mustard. It was so fresh and delicious I can't wait to go back to try some other items from the menu. This place uses Pat Lafreida meats which are the best cuts money can buy. They have a couple of pinball machines in the place and the design is quite unique which I like. The place is family friendly and is a true gem for some good food. A little expensive but you get what you pay for. I'm so glad they have opened a great place to eat near my house, since I was getting bored with my choices close to home.

Best burgers in Bergen County! Mel and Gina run a fantastic business. I have lunch there a few times a month and every sandwich and burger are part of my rotation. Mel even goes as far as stocking amazing Pat LaFreida meats in her fridge and will often order me a brisket in a pinch. Shakes are worth the trip and the pretzel is insanely good.

Dottie K.

So the gal taking the order was super friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic and way too much without an army to finish. Go hungry. Located in Teanfly downtown district this cute little shop is the perfect balance of trendy and traditional. The cheesesteak was amazing. The friend mozzarella and homemade vodka sauce what my favorite. They have happy house milkshake flavors from 3-6pm Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because it was a bit pricey. But loved the experience.

A really good, juicy burger…read more First of all, the large booths are a welcome addition when you walk in. This may seem negligible, but if you want to eat your burger fresh off the grill having a comfortable place to do so in the store is a big plus. The burger itself with just cheese before adding addition toppings is moist and the angus beef juices give the bun just the right kick when you take a bite. Add on toppings like grilled onions, bomb sauce, lettuce pickles and you have a burger worth fighting over for the last bite. Ordering is very easy with the large menu broken into different sections including burgers, chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches, wings hotdogs, sides, and willing staff who are able to answer questions about the menu choices. Don't forget the onion rings! These thick cut and crispy rings can almost steal the show. A nice surprise in addition to a great burger.

These people make some really good burgers and chicken sandwiches. My phone died jsu as I was…read morestarting to eat so no pictures of the food, but take my word for it they're so tasty. The fries are crispy and always consistent. Every time I get them they are crispy and delicious. I prefer these over McDonald's any time and the price isn't much different for a superior product. The shakes are pretty good too. They serve you very nicely and while you have to wait a little as least you know it's freshly made. The place is a basic eatery with clean and colorful tables and TV's to entertain you while you wait and eat so the ambiance is nice.

I am always searching for a good burger, please, and it's pretty tough to find something that's…read moreexceptional.But when a Manager from amajor steakhouse tells you to go to Marty's in Fort Lee because they have the best burgers, you know you have to try it. So I did. I cannot get over how tasty and oh so good their burgers are! I am not a fan of burgers that are smashed, but these burgers are so tasty and juicy! Beef delivered from Pat LeFrieda's every day, and all fresh ingredients. And the sauce on the Burger so delicious. They have excellent choices, including plant-based burgers and breaded chicken ("Impossible" brand) I had the swiss burger lettuce wrap with sautéed onions & shrooms, And My best friend had the same but added bacon. He also ordered truffle Parmesan fries, which were so delectable! To top it off, the service was excellent! Everyone who worked there was helpful & answered any question that you had with a smile. What a great bunch of people! I live about 20 minutes away, but I will definitely be going back at least once a week! And the place is cute. Love, love, love Marty's!!

Considering how I had an impulsive meal at McDonald's for $13 of similar portions not too long ago, Marty's is a better deal by miles. The chicken sandwich is nicely battered and arrived slathered in their house sauce that reminds me of In N Out's 'animal' sauce. I like the addition of the sweet pickles, too. And their Cole slaw is actually good; also made in house. The fries used to be thinner, which I miss. But I can't get over how good the salt and vinegar ones are. I will just have to accept the regression in quality. Nothing lasts forever, after all.

Let me tell you as first off that the Zalim Burger is absolutely delcious 8.5/10. I think this…read moreburger is one of best I've had in a while and would go just for this. The other option i got was butter chicken it was okay probably a 7.2/10 wasn't anything over the top, im indian so I've had a lot of butter chicken in my life and I know when it stands out. The fries are frozen fries which aren't anything unique like a 5/10 they should get some curly fries or waffle fries just a thought for them to stand out more. The people and atmosphere are great so for customer service and everything overall is top notch. Just a few thoughts tho from my experience.

Wow. They really do deliver "ruthless" flavor combo as their in-store mural would suggest. My wife…read moreordered the Nashville chicken sandwich with fries and I did the same in rice platter version and they were legit! 1. ATMOSPHERE (5/5) - Clean, no non-sense vibe that leans utilitarian but hey, you're here for quick bite! 2. FOOD (5/5) - Chicken was juicy, well-seasoned (not too salty!) with right amount of heat (I ordered medium spicy and taste was bolder and better vs. wife's mild which felt a bit bland) and their pickle gave a nice counterbalance. Fries were slightly "old" but full of potato flavor with that peanut oil, and the rice, the RICE in my bowl... together with the mild coleslaw (not too sweet, heavy-sauced, or acidic) was just... making symphony in my mouth. It was seriously delicious... rice... like what?! It had like that subtle halal flavor, gentle bite, and carried sauce well. So while I thought I'd never say this, I enjoyed the rice platter version of the Nashville hot chicken over the sandwich version. Sandwich version was ever so slightly dry in comparison as well. 3. SERVICE (4/5) - Only docking point because it took a bit long (15 min) for this type of food, but my man at the counter was very nice and hooked me up with free soda. He also mentioned royalty program which I misheard as telling me to pick any beverage (wife told me later), which was a nice touch. (Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude!) All in all with leftover to spare for next lunch, this was a surprisingly great meal. I'll definitely be back to try the smashed burgers! I never knew they were here though the guy told me they've been here for a few years at least... Well, now I know! Show Zalim some love ya'll and enjoy some GREAT Nashville hot chicken RICE BOWL and sando!
