THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Italian Omelette - Good portion omelette and well-cooked with portobello mushrooms, sausage, peppers and onions spread throughout. Some home fries were on the burnt side though, which made half of the home fries enjoyable and the other half not so much. + Italian Spaghetti with Meat Sauce - Relatively simple dish shared by our kids, but there was lots of tasty meat sauce on top and all around on the spaghetti. = Crab Cake Benedict - Was OK. Had good flavor, but one egg was runny and one was not. Typically, I would pop the eggs for the yolk to run out on the home fries, but one egg was well done. Like the Italian Omelette, some of the home fries were on the burnt side, so had to navigate through the good and not so good pieces. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Were greeted at the entrance by a nice gentlemen who took down our name and informed us of the wait. = Waiter was friendly, but we didn't see him much for most of our meal, other than when the food came and when he handed us the bill. He never checked in on us during our meal. + Food came out very fast, which is typically the case for diners. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Typical diner layout with lots of booths and tables inside. = Decor inside was nothing astonishing, but it was decent for a diner and, like I said earlier, typical. = Tight private parking lot in the back. It's one way traffic, so it can get tricky if crowded, which was the case on the Sunday we were here. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Even though it was very busy on a random August Sunday morning, it was only a 10 minute wait at 11:45, so it wasn't bad at all.

All the staff were sweet and attentive. The owner was wonderful. I can tell he definitely put time and sweat into his restaurant. Fresh ingredients. Love the eggs sausage traditional breakfast. Potatoes were seasoned well. I wish they have Egg Benedict on the menu tho. Pancakes were fluffy. Big portion. Love the apple crisp. Sweet warm apples with the crumbs on top is such a great combination. Lemon bar and brownie were good. Def a great restaurant at the neighborhood!

Rolling pins have been must-have equipment in kitchens ever since people started baking with flour…read more It is such a simple tool that is a long, thin cylinder used to flatten dough into sheets by rolling it out on a wooden or marble board. It has two handles on the side, making it easier to use. It can be made of wood or plastic. Located across from the train station, we decided on a celebratory meal at this popular spot for brunch/lunch in Westwood. A reservation was made for a party of 7 via Yelp. Upon arrival inside this cozy interior featuring retro decorations filled with rolling pins from ages past with several tables, we were greeted by the staff and checked in at The Rolling Pin Cafe. We were directed next door to their annex building, where it was warm and homey but with more seating. We were once more greeted by the staff and managed to get a table by the window. Their menu contains classic comfort foods for breakfast and lunch with specials rotating weekly. My partner, our friends, and I decided on the Pin Platter, Chicken Salad Sandwich, NJ Sloppy Joe Sandwich, Pesto Turkey Sandwich, Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Strawberries, Avocado Toast Platter, and 1/2 Smoked Turkey Sandwich with Mac & Cheese. The sandwiches accompanied their house-made sweet potato salad. Everything continues to be made on-site, so it's remained fresh and has that genuine homemade taste with wonderful flavors, which is hard to find these days. Portions were generous, and the price was reasonable. The owner, Jeff, is such a nice guy who sent over some complimentary desserts to sample: lemon bars, cheesecakes, brownies, and apple cobbler with vanilla & chocolate ice cream. The server Johanna was friendly and accommodating. This place never disappoints...

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ PHENOMENAL FOOD!!!!! ++++ Miso Marinated Salmon - Was absolutely delicious. Salmon was cooked perfectly, wasn't dry and still moist. The citrus scented wild rice was excellent too. ++++ Truffle Burger - Honestly, one of the BEST burgers I've had in a longggggg, longgggg time. Everything was perfect about it - the caramelized onions, gruyere on top, bacon, truffle aioli, and, of course, the burger itself. The patty was dripppping with juices with every single bite and cooked to medium excellence. Oh, and those truffle fries that came with it? To die for! Loved the thinness of them and there was PLENTY of it to go around. ++++ Kids Macaroni & Cheese with Fruit - Relatively simple, but the creamy kind of mac and cheese. Kids absolutely loved it. The fruits were just grapes and a few little slices of pineapple, which we would have liked a bit more of. ++++ Kids Cheeseburger and Fries - Burger was DEFINITELY, without a doubt cooked well-done. It was a bit on the tiny side, but we still split it between the kids. Once again, fries were fantastic and there was more than enough to share. ++++ Banana-Rama Smoothie - Strawberry, banana goodness. Could definitely tell this was not artificial from the "true" flavor of the smoothie. It wasn't super sweet. + Service was very good throughout the evening. ++++ Food came out shockingly fast and fresh. ++++ Our waiter was friendly, on point and came by to check on us a few times. + Plenty of space inside of the restaurant, including an outdoor-indoor tent that is heated. + Decor was modern and contemporary, very clean inside. + Ambiance for dinner was dark and intimate, which caught me off guard because I thought it would be more casual, but perfect for group gatherings still and casual dine-ins. + PLENTY of parking in the large lot in front and to the side of the restaurant, which is shared within a little strip mall. + They take reservations online. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nada! MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada! RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Dined from 5:45 - 7:15 PM on a Friday and most of the evening crowd was older and there weren't many families with kids. There were maybe 2-3 families with kids, but they left by 6:15 PM. Most of the groups were groups of 4, seemingly catching up during a nice meal. CONCLUSION -------------------- = I was pleasantly surprised by the experience we had here. I figured this would be a super casual Friday after work/school dinner with the fam, but this turned out to be one of the best meals we've had in North Jersey in a while. Food, service and ambiance here was excellent. Wish they had .5 stars on Yelp because Saddle River Cafe is as close to perfection as it can get at 4.5 stars!
