spinach dip
Deanne G.

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!

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!

Pizza Knight is my go-to for pizza in Hackensack. The thin crust is always crispy and cooked just…read moreright, and the homemade sauce and cheese are on point -- enough flavor but not overwhelming. Everything is well balanced. The deep dish is great too -- I'd recommend they offer a 16-slice option since it's so thick, but irregardless I'm still ordering it again. The store is tiny so pickup or delivery is the move, but the workers are super friendly and on top of things every time. Highly recommend.

Pizza Knight is absolutely crushing it for bringing "Detroit-style" Pizza here to North Jersey! In…read morea state where there is a pizzeria on almost every block, although a New-York slice is legendary --- it is America, and I do need a bit of diversity with my pie, and this was a welcome change. Called in to make an order, and the owner say it was a busy day, so my pie would be reading in 45-minutes, instead of 25-30. I assumed if people are willing to frequent there, I'll join the queue. I ordered the Drunken Peps Detroit Style Pizza, which had "mozzarella cheese, two types of pepperoni (original sliced/cup & char), homemade vodka sauce, and freshly grated pecorino romano cheese." First off, the pie is huge --- completely worth the $26.96 I paid for it. Secondly, the photos don't do it justice --- it is steaming hot upon pick-up, and that very generous layer of sauce on the top was *chef's kiss*. Although the crust may appear very dark i the photos, it was actually perfect --- and provided that nice *crunch* and *crackle* that those crunchy cheesy edges provide. If you're in the area and looking for some pizza -variety- then I totally recommend this place. Pizza Knight for the win!

Grumpy's Sourdough Pizza Co. 522 Saddle River Rd…read more Saddle Brook, NJ 07663 Hot Honey Heaven Grumpy's Triple Threat Multiple people have reached out to me and suggested I explore this locally owned pizzeria located in the heart of Saddle Brook. As I entered the parlor, it is a hole in the wall with minimal seating and no AC unit. Regardless that it wasn't fancy, I still had a very gut instinct the quality of their pies was going to be on the money. When I arrived a weekday afternoon to place my order, the cashier informed me there will be a 40 minute wait. For the fact that the wait is this long indicates there are in demand and their pizza is top quality. I also saw framed plaques along their table counter showing they received positive media recognition from The Record, northjersey.com, and bestofnj.com. Hot Honey Heaven: I was initially skeptical about the appearance of this pie because it looks kind of messy. However, I took a single bite and was immediately hooked. This pie was topped with pepperoni, crispy chicken, and ricotta cheese. Mike's Hot Honey was generously poured over the top. It has a combination of sweet and spiciness. I never anticipated honey would enhance the flavor of the pie; I wish I requested an extra cup! Grumpy's Triple Threat: Named after the restaurant, this pie is prepared with pesto, grandma sauce, and pink tomato sauce. The sprinkled parmigiano reggiano added a nice touch. I especially liked the artistic appearance. The three colors were visually appealing, especially with the swirls of pesto. All pies are prepared with their signature sourdough pizza crust. Each slice had a perfect undercarriage and a firm crunch. Customers have the option to bake the pies may light, medium, or well-done. I chose medium because a majority of the customer base prefers this style. As a bonus, Grumpy's offer complimentary crust upgrades. I opted to add garlic butter brush; the outer crust edge was literally brushed with hot, garlic-infused butter. While it is common to throw away the top portion of the pizza, the upgrade is definitely an incentive to eat the crust. San Marzano tomatoes are the primary ingredient for the sauce. It's not overly sweet and has a light tang. This pizzeria is geared for take out, but there are plenty of benches only minutes away at Saddle River County Park. You can enjoy your pie while admiring the beautiful scenery of the park. The parking lot has limited spaces, but you can easily find a spot on the street. Grumpy's may be a hole in the wall, but the pizza was outstanding. I'm really exuberant that I had a pristine experience exploring sourdough crust for the first time! I was far from "grumpy" after dining here! #grumpys #grumpyssourdoughpizzaco #grumpystriplethreat #hothoneyheaven

A heads-up if you're driving: parking can be a little difficult. There's a sign pointing to parking in the rear, but the lot is pretty small. You may be better off parking on a side street and walking over. I went just before the lunch hour, and the line was already out the door. They were also getting plenty of phone calls, so they definitely seem to have a busy business going. As for the pizza, the taste was good overall. The dough was a little tough and seemed possibly overdone, and the type of cheese they use made the pizza feel a bit greasy. That said, I'd be willing to try it again. Next time, I might skip the personal pie and try a different size or style to see if that makes a difference. Staff were very kind!!!! * I didn't see any slices on display, but people were ordering by the slice.

We got a margherita pie with added mushrooms and sausages. The handmade pie took a little bit, but it was certainly a conversation-stopper when it arrived. It was hot, loaded with toppings, and had a healthy drizzle of olive oil. Eating it was even better. The cornmeal-dusted crust had pretty decent structural integrity (considering the toppings it had to hold up), and while the sauce was a little tangier than I would've liked, the proportions of crust to sauce to cheese was spot on. Evoli is a family-owned business and they've been in their current Hackensack location for about five years now. All the people here are sweet as pie, and I especially loved seeing the owner's little girl dancing around and showing off her Power Ranger toy to anyone who showed interest. There's talk about selling their business and changing locations, but so long as the old guard is here, I absolutely recommend checking them out.
