    Where the locals meet for great breakfast and lunch at reasonable cost. Great service and feels like home. I'm probably there three times a month and see a lot of familiar faces. Love it.

    Wow! What an awesome Sunday brunch my wife and I had here today! This was the first time we've been to this restaurant since it was taken over by new owners and totally remodeled. The place looks amazing! It has the feel of an old time luncheonette with the counter to sit at, but there's also a large dining room as well as outside seating. Very cool decorations throughout. The food was excellent! I ordered the omelette with mushrooms, cheddar, and spinach, with 7 grain toast. My wife had the bacon & egg avocado toast. We both loved it. Coffee and iced coffee were delicious as well! The best thing about this restaurant was how friendly everyone was. The owners, Ann Marie and her daughter Thea took so much time telling us of the place. The property has actually been owned by their family for 100 years! If you're in Rockaway and looking for a great meal, or even some homemade ice cream, do yourself a favor and stop in, you'll be happy you did!

    Went to Riverside Shoppe for a girls day brunch to celebrate my birthday! I got a white chocolate latte with oat milk and a tuna melt (I know, weird combo). Both were amazing - I would come back just for the coffee alone (and a pastry of course). Our waitress was super nice as well. Hoping to make girls brunch a more frequent tradition here :)

    We visited Riverside Shoppe while attending a toy collector convention in Hanover, NJ. We stumbled across this hidden gem by sheer coincidence. It was one of the best experiences of hospitality and kindness of my entire life. It was our friend Pablo's 44th birthday who was visiting from Panama and Ann Marie and her team prepared a mountain of ice cream sandwiches, chocolate eclairs, and more with whipped cream, sprinkles and a candle. We all sang "Happy Birthday" to him. Being from a foreign country and experiencing real American hospitality was very touching for him. If you're ever in or near Roackaway, NJ, please visit and support Riverside Shoppe. The food is amazing and service is top notch. Huge Thank you to Ann Marie and her team.

    Rolled Up to the brand new Riverside Shoppe for a quick bite to shove in My face and gotta say I really like what they did with this place. It's been partially renovated inside with new windows to brighten the place up and a wall was removed for a better view of the kitchen.    First time in here I went with My trusted old favorite; Taylor Ham, Egg, and American Cheese Sandwich on a Roll and I was pretty satisfied overall. The coffee is very good here too as is the Counter Service.   In all honesty, while this wouldn't be My first choice for brunch in Rockaway Boro, I gotta say it's Supercool to see a new business open up in town so l'm gonna try and show 'em some support whenever I can. Come And Get Your Munch On!!  ;D

I brought a friend with me. they weren't really hungry but wanted to go out anyway. They ended up ordering their own bowl and made comments that this exactly the kind of place they want to come to eat healthier. It was priced pretty reasonably and filling on top of that I would tell them that its a lot of rice, vegetables and protein but since its often themed around seafood, I feel good after eating. This place does offer cooked chicken or beef if you would like that. Raw fish like salmon or tuna that i had in my order gives a different feeling to those. Overall with the service of this shop, it is a good and straighforward experience where you order, ask questions, any add ons you might want, and they ask if you want to order any drinks at the end. I took my time picking from their menu. The online website mentions they sell bubble tea and sushi rolls in addition to poke bowls. In the shop the big sign to order from just had Poke options, a small sign for teas or smoothies, and i guess all the same ingredients they use for poke can be used for sushi so they probably didnt list it in the shop. They have paper takeout menus available that I did not look at so maybe the items online match that, but something to note if you view it in advance and don't see it in person. The bowl I had was very good, I was actually full enough where i took a bit of it home with me, to finish later. I would say the size proportions is good for 1 person. My friend I went with finished their bowl in the shop and was satisfied by the amount. I believe both of us will be returning to this shop to try other menu items with how approachable everything was. Taste, size, service, it all seemed good

Definitely fresh quality for everything. Service: there is a nice girl who helped me, was of course on top of everything. Aesthetic: some seating opposite of the service station, it's nice to see all the options you have. Also, I've gone too early, but they also have the sushi station for those you would like sushi instead.

Inside, the dining area is spacious, and tastefully furnished with a nice warm fireplace in the room. The bar area has plenty of seats and TVs for sports fans. Our server Angela B. was so very pleasant, and attentive. She informed us about weekday events held at The Barn (trivia, bingo, vinyl night) and what sounded like a great Brunch Sat/Sun. We will be returning to experience some of them. We started with "Barnachos" ($18) containing a generous portion of pork (carnitas) and the usual nacho components. No pump cheese here though! Yay My wife had a lovely Greek salad ($19) with feta, grilled chicken, olives, onions, etc. I had a Meat Lovers pizza: pepperoni, sausage, cheese, sauce, peppers, onions, olives, etc ($22). The pizza was served piping hot. The portions were all generous and the food was delicious. We were too full for dessert! The menu really has something for everyone but everything on it has a special twist to it. Check out the menu at: https://thebarnkitchenandbar.com/menu/#view-page.
