The penne vodka was perfectly al dente (not an easy feat for two trays of pasta!), the chicken parm was juicy, tender, and perfectly portioned, and their marinara sauce passed the test of several Italian grandmas!

FYI, I don't even like sausage and peppers - I just get it because it's a crowd pleaser- and I LOVED this one. Phenomenal service as well. We are hooked!

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.

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...

Farmhouse Cafe & Eatery 301 Center Ave…read more Westwood, NJ 07675 Frozen Mint Lemonade Farmhouse Panko Chicken Club The interior of this restaurant has a rural atmosphere with exposed metal beams, vintage metal signs, and various farm equipment. I decided to explore a couple of the popular menu items. Frozen Lemonade: This thick, slushy signature beverage was quite refreshing. It was blended with crushed ice. This was an excellent drink and was satisfied, until I realized something; I ordered a frozen mint lemonade, not a frozen lemonade. Although my server unintentionally confused the drinks, it was still decent. I got caught up in this tasty beverage I by the time I realized it was the incorrect beverage I had already finished it! Farmhouse Panko Chicken Club: Named after the cafe, this crispy chicken sandwich was topped with avocado, bacon, and cheddar. The toppings blended perfectly, especially when served on ciabatta bread. This sandwich was really tasty, but it was very pricey for its size. French fries or a house salad is included with the sandwich. On a positive note, I was allowed to substitute kale for the romaine. The balsamic dressing mixed perfectly with the salad. I was told that cucumber and tomatoes would be included with the sandwich. However, the salad only included tomatoes. The food was overall decent, but there were inconsistencies in the lunch order. This kind of surprised me because the location was not crowded. Since multiple mistakes were made, I cannot promise there will be a future visit. #farmhousecafe #farmhousecafeandeatery #farmhousepankochickenclub

Farmhouse is one of those neighborhood spots that stays in our regular rotation. It's a cute place…read morein Westwood that definitely lives up to its name with its cozy, rustic farmhouse vibe. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great option year-round. The menu is extensive, so there's something for just about everyone. As someone who has to eat gluten-free, I do wish they offered a few more GF options. That said, I really appreciate that they have gluten-free bread and wraps. My go-to order is the grilled chicken pesto wrap on a gluten-free wrap, and during the colder months, I love pairing a meal with one of their soups. I just wish there were more gluten-free side options besides a salad. They also have a nice selection of non-caffeinated iced teas, which is always a bonus when you're looking for something different to drink. Service can be on the slower side, especially during busy lunch or dinner hours, so it's best not to come if you're in a rush. The restaurant has a few TVs that are usually showing sports, giving it a relaxed neighborhood feel, and the bathrooms have consistently been clean whenever I've visited. If you pay with cash, you'll avoid the credit card service fee. One thing to know before you go: parking in downtown Westwood can be a bit of a headache. Pay attention to the parking signs and meters. Although, I would love to see the farmhouse expand their gluten-free menu, it is a reliable local spot with good food, a welcoming atmosphere, and enough variety to keep us coming back.

After talking to Matt for 2 minutes you know that he's passionate about what he does and it certainly shows. He was willing to travel to Kingston NY for the event. They set up in the driveway, set up their tent and got down to the business of feeding 60 hungry people. Burgers, Hot Dogs, killer Chicken Nuggets, Onion Rings, Fries and Hot Pretzels- all served with the proper condiments and sauces. Everything was fresh, delicious and well received. At the end they cooked off enough food to feed 60 people all over again! We noshed all night and still had plenty of leftovers. I've eaten at the restaurant and it was very good but their handling of this party was over the top! I wouldn't hesitate to call in this squad again for any event that needs great food and hospitality.

Eighty Twenty 32 Westwood Ave…read more Westwood, NJ 07675 The Smasher Onion Rings What once started as a pop up has now revolutionized into a full scale burger restaurant. The smasher: This signature menu item has all beef patty with a 80% to 20% beef-to-fat ratio, hence the restaurant name. It was topped with caramelized Vidalia onions, American cheese, and topped with their homemade Mandy sauce. The quality and taste was more than superior. I especially enjoyed the Mandy sauce which is a savory combination of ketchup, mayo, honey mustard and barbecue sauce. (The combination of all these sauces may seem overzealous, but it was actually a perfect concoction.) The minor drawback is that the size of the burger is on the smaller side, which accounts for its cost effective price. Onion Rings: These gigantic beer-bartered rings were piping hot and crispy on the outside while soft and oniony on the inside. A cup of Mandy sauce is also included. Ironically, the cost of the side actually is slightly more than the burger itself. All menu items are sold à la carte. There is an up charge if you request any additional specialty sauces with your meal. However, complimentary ketchup, horse radish sauce, hot sauce and many other condiments are complimentary. If you do not wish to buy any beverages, a free water cooler is available. Everything is freshly made to order so expect a wait, but it is definitely worth it. For the most part, this was a positive dining experience and I am happy to see a local pop-up transform into a permanent restaurant. #eightytwenty #smasher #eightytwentywestwood #mandysauce

I think I was more impressed with the size rather than the possibility of it not being tasty (quantity vs quality, unfortunately). The staff was a bit brusque, but for this part of the country, it's par for the course. Let's call it "Jersey friendly " lol. The bagel was solid as always, and didn't disappoint. It was a nice balance of meat, cheese, and carbs. The banana bread on the other hand was so bad I had to write a review. It was extremely dry and not very sweet. There were walnuts, but only on top. I'm used to banana bread with walnuts throughout. As I ate, I kept hoping that the next bite would be better than the last, but unfortunately this wasn't the case. In the end, I had to resign myself to the fact that there was NOTHING I could do to make this experience any better. Lesson learned: pastries will be purchased from bakeries and bagel sandwiches from bagel shops.
