    spinach dip - A plate features a black cast iron dish filled with spinach artichoke dip, which appears creamy with visible pieces of spinach and artichoke. Next to the dip, there are several yellow tortilla chips on a white plate. The setting suggests a restaurant environment, with a person partially visible in the background and a dark table surface.

    We went there for a quick bite - ambience is cozy and casual. We ordered the spinach dip and eggplant tower. The dip did not have much flavor and the tower was good minus the ham. For our meals I had the steak tacos and my friends had the burger and chicken sandwich. Good portions and They were all okay but nothing great. Four people and two cocktails each about $200 plus tip. Gave it a 3 as place was nice and service was good.

    This bar has what you need to grab a nice drink at the bar, watch a sports game, entertain a date... as for the food, I have yet to try but maybe next time. Parking is small so if you are meeting up with people it's best to get there first.

    I would have to say this is the best tavern I ever went to. Atmosphere is stellar, staff is nice, food tasted great, menu variety was strong and priced well. Lots of parking on both sides of the building

    If you're a local then you know that Tavern 61 replaced the long standing Italian restaurant, Solari's (which was open since the 1930s). I personally had been to Solari's before it closed, but as soon as I walked through the doors of Tavern 61, I was immediately transported into a charming, welcoming and modern establishment. Tavern 61 is situated right next to all the new apartment construction that is happening in Hackensack and this is a place you will NOT want to miss out on. Tavern 61 is an American bar & grill that serves a wide range of menu items - you will not have a problem selecting what you want. I came here for a date night with my partner and we decided to share a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and it was divine. We shared their buffalo chicken flatbread pizza and it was so good we almost ate the whole thing! We had to stop ourselves so we didn't get too full prior to the entrees. For my entree, I ordered the pork chop and it was cooked to perfection - there was so much flavor and the balsamic reduction really added to that - the cherry peppers was a perfect spice compliment. My partner ordered off the special menu and he said the tacos were absolutely delicious! I can't wait to come back!

    A man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a light pink shirt, sits at a restaurant table with his right hand covering part of his face. The table has empty glasses, a napkin, and a plate. The background shows a dining area with multiple tables, chairs, and two staff members standing near a bar or service area. The restaurant has warm lighting and a modern decor.

    3rd time here and quite satisified. Great service. Awesome happy hour deals on drinks between 4 and 7 on weekdays. $5 on majority of draft craft beers at that time. The specials tend to hit the spot. Loved the choriozo tacos, chef salad and beef tortellini in pink champagne sauce. Anything in their pink champagne sauce will be fantastic. Thanks a bunch!

    Marty’s - Bacon avocado

    All hail the sesame seed bun! It's been my humble opinion that the seeded bun is an integral part…read moreof a good burger, and Marty's has that - and more - going for it. 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.

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 6 This restaurant is an institution around these parts of New Jersey. There is always a wait at lunchtime regardless if you want to dine in or take out. I have been a fan of what they do for a long time because you just don't see this type of establishments around anymore. They have certainly stood the test of time. Beef patties, smashed with a lot of grilled finely cut onions, then add pickles, American cheese, and some ketchup, on a soft pillowy Martin's potato bread is a can't miss right? This formula has not changed here for decades. Like I said, I really appreciate the deep history. However, if I'm being honest, I wish the beef quality was better and the cook would add a tad more seasoning. For me, their burger has always tasted slightly bland compared to my favorite burger joints. Yet I still come back. Prices are not what it once was either, but what is? It's still very inexpensive. What I consider a large slider rather than a full size burger is still considered good eats in my book. I certainly would stop by when in the neighborhood if the lines are reasonable.

This may seem negligible, but if you want to eat your burger fresh off the grill having a comfortable place to do so in the store is a big plus. The burger itself with just cheese before adding addition toppings is moist and the angus beef juices give the bun just the right kick when you take a bite. Add on toppings like grilled onions, bomb sauce, lettuce pickles and you have a burger worth fighting over for the last bite. Ordering is very easy with the large menu broken into different sections including burgers, chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches, wings hotdogs, sides, and willing staff who are able to answer questions about the menu choices.

The shakes are pretty good too. They serve you very nicely and while you have to wait a little as least you know it's freshly made. The place is a basic eatery with clean and colorful tables and TV's to entertain you while you wait and eat so the ambiance is nice.
