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.

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.

F3. Chili 'n Cheese Fries ...these were yummy!

BTW the flan was incredible. I really loved the food experience. Portions are spot on. It is like a bodega shop like I grew up with in Washington heights. Nice and welcoming. Very homey and I liked it. Nice place for an impromptu meal. Service needs a little help...My girl could be friendlier and provide service with smile versus the standoffish demeanor she had. You want me to be a repeat customer right? You want me to come back right? Then great me with a smile and serve me with a smile. When you open a restaurant this is primo important! Could be a language barrier thing but if someone can pass this along I will only take one star off because the food was delicious. Worth going to but my girl needs to up the service game por favor.

Once you enter you place your order in front of the hot lunch spread. I ended up getting the Pernil ($13) which was alright, maybe because I'm spoiled from having Dominican food in Washington Heights/city. The Maduro ($1.80) was a bit dry, which kinda looks like it from my photo. I'm thinking it was an off day. I may try again. * Street parking * Indoor dining

I had been wanting to try the Oxtail pizza for a while when I used to pass the Edgewater location…read moreso I traveled to Englewood. I ordered the oxtail pizza and it was delicious!!! The crust is thin with a sesame sprinkled crust and it was so good that I even ate every single bite of it, which is unusual for me. The oxtail was so flavorful and rich with the cheeses (mozzerella, Parmesan and goat cheese), meat, hot honey and spinach. The ladies asked if I wanted cilantro on top, which was the perfect add of even more flavor. They were so sweet and welcoming. Parking in downtown Englewood can be tough but I took the side street behind the row of stores and found the back entrance to Wahizza. I'm not sure if that's allowed but it made the pizza pick up a very quick and convenient experience. I plan on eating in next time bc the inside was so cute and looked very comfortable. I am definitely coming back.

Most of the staff was very friendly and welcoming, especially the manager. We arrived about two hours before closing and asked if we could sit at the bar to watch the next soccer match after the hostess told us there were no available tables. What was confusing was that the same tables that were empty when we arrived remained empty the entire time and were still vacant when we left as the restaurant closed. Overall, the food and most of the staff were enjoyable, but the experience at the front of the house could definitely be improved.
