Classic nova burger with curly fries
Jessica C.

Burgers here are fresh made to order and the size of the it is massive. For kids, half a burger is more than enough. You can combo it up with fries and a drink. There is lots of variety and variations to choose from and there's plenty of seating. The food comes out fast and the staff are pleasant to deal with. Also not only can you order burgers and fries here, you can also get your basic Chinese food as well.

Whiskey bacon burger

You can enjoy surprisingly huge and tasteful burgers, at one of family owned (Mr. Lee's) business. Favorites are: Nova classic, Philly cheese steak and Whiskey bacon burgers.

Gyro burger

Went to Nova burger for some post gym protein with my good friend, Jabriel J. It's a small spot tucked into the back of Little Ferry. It has its own parking lot which is convenient. I ordered the gyro burger with curly fries. It was a surprisingly large burger. The flavor of the gyro meat was a bit overpowering, I could barely taste the burger until I added a bit of salt. The sauces they have available are pretty good too. Prices are fair, about $11 total for my entire meal.

The food was decent at an acceptable price. The buns were delicious, though the beef was not of the highest quality, the price does reflect that. And the French fries were very good. Though the ambience is very casual, I admire the lady behind the counter who provided a warm smile and looked to be working hard to make an honest living. I feel like she is a good person and deserves to be successful.

Menu

There is nothing about this place that says they feature Mexican food. Maybe they used to in the past. Rather it should be called Nova Burger and Chinese Cuisine. In addition to burgers they sell lo main, beef and broccoli, fried rice, and a pretty full chinese food menu. They have a variety of burger entrees on the menu. Seemed promising. I asked if I could have my burger prepared medium well. I was told yes. I was disappointed when I saw my burger was not onlywell done, it was a burger pattie. This was not a freshly prepared, seasoned burger, rather a previously frozen unseasoned burger pattie and was totally underwhelming. Edited to include: from looking at previous pics, it looks like they used to serve real beef burgers. I instead recieved an unseasoned, previously frozen, burger pattie. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese burger. The fried egg was overcooked. My fried ordered fried onions on her burger. She recieved canned fried onions; not fresh onions fried on a grill. Underwhelming. One plus is the place is cute and clean. We both ordered lettuce buns and recieved large, fresh lettuce pieces w our burgers. Neither of us recieved pickles and that was a disappointment as well.

Combo B12. Gimme Whiskey, Bacon 'n BBQ

Burgers definitely did not disappoint, can't wait to be back! Seems family owned, really kind staff and reasonably fast for the size of these burgers. 10/10 experience, happy to find this hole in the wall spot so close to my area!

Fire alarm burger with fries.

Husband and I had the Nova and 'fire alarm' burgers. Happy to say it was really good, especially the brioche bun!

Classic with egg.
Alex Y.

Visited for an early lunch and they were just getting started. The location was pretty easy to find, but it's right on an awkward intersection. They have a some parking spots available, but it's not a big lot. Think they forgot to turn on the heat, so the place was completely freezing. I could see my breath even when I was inside. They realized 30 minutes later and finally turned on the heat. Ordered the classic burger special that came with fries and drink. Threw an extra egg on as well. Burger came out really quick and surprisingly was cooked perfectly medium. Size was the burger was huge as indicated by other reviews. Everything was fresh. Seasoning was a bit lacking and I had to add quite a bit of salt and pepper to it. Would help tremendously if they seasoned their patties. This place has some potential because of the value. They also deliver locally as well. Seems like they still need to work some kinks out on their routine though. Will check back the next time I get burger craving again.

Bacon egg and cheese burger
Harry P.

Saw that this new burger spot opened up close to work, it was pretty packed for being new. The staff was very nice but very unorganized, not knowing who ordered what (expected for a new restaurant). They have some interesting burgers, I stuck to the bacon egg and cheese burger. I wish you had a choice of how to get it done, it was a little over cooked, but the bacon was amazing, and the egg was just runny enough to soak into the meat. The burgers are also huge, and the bun is soft and fresh. I will be back to see how they improve.

Wow! We recently stumbled upon this place (which is now called Bo's Korean Hotdog) while on our way…read moreto NYC and this is the kind of place we'll make a significant detour to visit again! We had never tried Korean hotdogs before, so we asked for recommendations from the staff. The young lady and her mother were beyond helpful and took their time explaining the menu and answering all of our questions. Following their recommendations, we ordered a #9 (sausage, cheese, coating, and potatoes), a #2 (mozz cheese), and a small box of chicken. Everything was prepared fairly quickly and was nice and hot when we got it. Again following the recommendations, we sprinkled sugar on the #9, which created an amazing blend of sweet and savory flavors. The chicken had a subtle kick and our little one enjoyed dipping it with ranch, while I enjoyed dipping it with honey mustard. We packed a #9 and some chicken for my father-in-law back at our hotel and he was also impressed and loved the meal! Before we left, the mother went out of her way to make sure we had all the essentials, from utensils to sauces, so my father-in-law could enjoy his meal. Beyond the unbelievably delicious food, we also enjoyed a long chat with the young woman and her mother about the local Korean community and its history. Needless to say, the next time we're even remotely in the area, WE WILL RETURN! It's worth noting that there's not much seating available at the restaurant. The FAR majority of the business they do is takeout, but they did have a couple of stools available for sitting at the front window. When the mother saw we were going to eat at the window, she quickly got us a third stool so we could all sit down. I seriously cannot say enough positive things about this restaurant!!!

Uugh... drove out here excited for the kids to try and they are permanently closed. Too bad it…read morewasn't already posted on their page...

THE FOOD ---------------…read more+ Menu is like any other Wendy's you'll walk into (or order from online). No surprises on it. + Burgers, Fries, Nuggets, Baked Potato, Chili, Frosties, Breakfast Sandwiches - All are what you would expect from any Wendy's location. Didn't have a problem with any of the food quality here. THE SERVICE ------------------- + During Saturday dinner hours, workers were relatively quick. Our order was fulfilled very fast and ready upon arrival, as expected for a fast food restaurant. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Pretty much your standard modern-day Wendy's that was renovated in the last few years. No more old school exterior or interior here. + No observable cleanliness issues that were out of the ordinary. + Private parking lot has ample parking spaces. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- = Was very quiet on the Saturday evening that we visited and it's doubtful it would get very busy on any day of the week.

I frequently use the order-ahead feature, and without fail, my food is always prepared and ready for me by the time I arrive. Another huge plus is that they offer senior citizen discounts, and if you use the Wendy's app, there are always fantastic deals available for all members. If you're looking for a quick, reliable, and clean spot for a meal, I highly recommend this location!

I would love to try some of their other burger options because I'm confident they would be just as great. Onion rings were pretty good and portion was generous.

One guy was holding down the fort at the register (Kevin!), and the place was spotless. He walked me through the menu really clearly and even gave some solid recommendations, which I appreciated. I ended up going with the OKC Fried Onion Mash Burger, added fresh jalapeños, got a side of Cajun fries, and couldn't resist the Fruity Pebbles milkshake -- because how do you not try that? Everything was made fresh to order. The burger had this beautiful thin, crispy Maillard crust that you just don't get at a lot of fast-casual places. Not soggy, not greasy -- just right. The Cajun fries were also spot on: hot, well-seasoned, and clearly just out of the fryer. But real talk -- that milkshake? Absolute 10/10. Thick, flavorful, and the Fruity Pebbles gave it a fun texture and nostalgic kick. Kevin deserves a shoutout -- friendly, helpful, and reppin' the place like a pro. Give that man a raise! (I told him at the beginning of April, I'd post this...but 2 months later....ain't too late!) Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out. Will be back.
