Staff is friendly and gave me free tap water. I ordered the bbq chicken platter with mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, but I wouldn't come here just for that. Garlic bread was hard and didn't taste like garlic. Chicken was cooked well, but the sauce was VERY sweet with zero hints of smokiness. What a disappointment. I tried my dining partner's pulled pork, and it was the same sickly sweet sauce. The Mac and cheese was 10000% Kraft Mac and cheese. Also the menu had no brisket, which you could find at even an average bbq place. Although it's difficult to find decent bbq in this area, I would not recommend Cubby's.

I got the small bbq chicken with rice ($13.49) and a side salad ($2.99) and the chicken was really good and juicy. The rice was a little dry. The meal comes with two sides but you can only choose from rice, beans or fries without incurring substitution fees. This was a solid meal and for the amount of food you get, it's reasonably priced. I will be back for the spare ribs, since they mentioned they are made to order and about a 30 minute wait. * Parking on premise but very limited * Gender neutral restroom * Friendly service

He was able to order easily and the food was given to him in a reasonable amount of time. They have color printed menus with nice photos for each dish. I ordered the bolon verde with chicharrón. When I started eating I noticed there was no chicharrón but I kept going thinking I was encounter it soon. I got halfway through the bolon and found all the chicharrón had been packed in the center of the bolon. On top of that, all of the chicharrón was burnt to a crisp. I laughed because it honestly felt like a prank. I'm not sure how much my brother paid but no price was worth what I received. My brother ordered grilled chicken, rice and beans. My sister had a beef empanada. They liked their items and had no issues. Given that my siblings items were okay I cannot say I wouldn't recommend this place at all. I just wouldn't recommend the bolons from this place. There are other Ecuadorian places in the same neighborhood (walking distance from this place!!) that serve bolons consistently well made. I hope that they are consistent with their other dishes and no one strikes out like I did.

I've heard comparisons between Marty's patties and those of Five Guys, and I can see why. They're fresh rather than frozen, and they're thin enough to approximate a smashed burger with those occasional bits of char while still maintaining enough heft that you can taste the beef. Their build-your-own burger menus are also similar, with plenty of free toppings to choose from. But I would argue that Marty's offers a fuller range of toppings from diverse cheese options to more premium ones like fried eggs, bacon, and avocado. I tried two of their signature burgers, and while the Swiss mushroom dijon was a hit with my husband (he pointed out the visible mustard seeds in the dijon sauce), the bacon avocado was the clear winner in my book. It not only had bacon that was texturally perfect (crispy and densely packed atop the patty), but also picture-ready slices of avocado. For that to come out of a fast food restaurant kitchen within a matter of minutes? Color me impressed. The banana pudding is dynamite. I'm usually neither a fan of banana nor puddings because those things combined just sound like mush. But here, the pudding is more of a whipped, airy texture, and I believe it when the lid says 'made fresh' because there were chunks of banana nestled in every bite. I admit it might not be much to look at, but I was hooked after a single spoonful (I'm actually greedily scraping the bottom of the container as I type this review). The restaurant has a diminutive dining space (I counted four two-tops at most), but it feels super cozy and casual. I took my food to go and found nothing had deteriorated - in flavor, temperature, or texture - during my drive home because everything is well packaged. There's paid street parking available, but this area of Hackensack is pretty dense so you might have to circle around for a bit before finding a spot.

I tried the Double Cheeseburger, Mushroom Burger, Truffle Parmesan fries, and Poutine. Everything was great. The patties on the burgers were cooked perfectly and were flavorful. Everything in the burgers added something and I never felt like they were doing too much. The fries were nice and I enjoyed them both but I think I liked the Truffle Parmesan more--I'm a sucker for all things truffle. The poutine was surprisingly good too though. I wish the gravy were a little thicker but it was hot enough that it caused the cheese curds to get nice and melty. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other offerings.

The portion for the sides is really big and for $10, it's a really good meal deal. The wings were solid, crispy and juicy. Overall, solid meal. I will be back to try the jerk chicken lunch special. I wouldn't say go out your way to get the wings but if you're around the area especially during lunch hours and want soul food, this is the place. * Free parking in back * Metered street parking * Good lunch special deal * a lot of dessert options

We had stir-fried spicy octopus & pork belly and marinated pork - both with a choice of stew. Both were excellent. The spicy octopus & pork belly was seasoned well - probably too well and enough sauce to go with the rice. A bit too spicy for me. Marinated pork was also well marinated - not too sweet and not overwhelming. All of their dishes are served on bronze dishes, rather than white plastic ones, and gives you the feeling of being in a fancy restaurant!!!! Parking is limited during dinner time, but you will have no problem during lunch time. We used to come right after the King Sauna spa for dinner, and this place can be crowded and loud ....

Be aware that the meal can get pricey depending on what you order, but everything was delicious. I loved the vegetables- I think I could eat them alone! My favorite meats were the short rib and the rib eye. Meats were very tender and flavorful. I did not try the chicken, but I did try the thin sliced pork belly. It was good, but if I come again I would probably just eat meat. I also tried the marinated sliced sirloin but did not care much for it as it was mostly onions.

Neither of us tried the Moon yet so we decided to check it out. I was able to easily make a reservation via Yelp for 6 people for 12:30 (4 adults + 2 toddlers). For the most part, we already knew what we wanted to order, so we placed an order for the BBQ items and hot pot meats first. Only the meats are the items you need to order. Everything else, you grab at the buffet - including seafood, fish balls, veggies, and noodles. The BBQ items are just okay, but that tends to be the case with you have hot pot + BBQ. The hot pot beef was good but the lamb was super gamey, which turned my broth into a gamey lamb flavor, making everything else I cooked in there have a trace of that too. Bottom line - skip the lamb. As for the buffet, they have a lot of options. Aside from the typical hot pot items, they also have some Korean dishes like kimbap, japchae, kimchi, as well as some fried items. I don't think I liked the Moon enough for a return trip. It's also slightly pricier than other hot pot + KBBQ spots, so I think I'll check out some of the other ones next time.

All the ingredients are laid out buffet-style for you to grab and bring back to your table. Each person gets their own small hot pot, but there's only one grill per table--which is pretty standard anyway. You can also help yourself to the sauces. They offer the usual selection of meats, vegetables, and some seafood, similar to what you'd find at most hot pot places. The service was good, and the décor is very modern. I heard it used to be a different restaurant before being converted. There's plenty of parking since it's in a shopping area, and it's close to the GWB in Hackensack, making it an easy stop for New Yorkers. Overall, it's on the pricey side, like most Korean hot pot places. I'd come back for special occasions, but not as an everyday spot.
