Oreo milkshake
Sadaf T.

It's a solid diner - classic vibes, lots of choices, relatively fast service. Been here a handful of times now and gotten good feedback from the kids. It's a little pricey but the portions are very large. I love the fresh orange juice and the peach lemonade.

Spicy Shrimp Tacos
Elle H.

My boyfriend and I go here somewhat regularly and we're always warmly greeted and seated immediately. The servers are friendly and responsive. The menu is extensive and everything I've sampled so far has been great. I do particularly like their salads which are fresh, generously sized and delicious. The spicy shrimp tacos were wonderful with the addition of avocado and a side of black beans and rice. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Cookie Monster Wild Shake
Jeff M.

Tenafly Classic Diner 16 W. Railroad Ave. Tenafly, NJ 07470 Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls French Dip Vodka Chicken Parmesan Funfetti Cake Cookie Monster Wild Shake Appearance: Taste: In downtown Tenafly is a local diner that serves a variety of dishes. The buffalo chicken egg rolls is a fantastic starter. The egg rolls packed with seasoned chicken and are served with blue cheese. Take a dip with the tender French dip. Be sure to dip your hoagie into the au jus. The homemade potato chips are hot and freshly made, which is a great side dish. For a diner, the chicken Parmesan was superior! There were two full size cutlets along with penne pasta. The sauce was thick and creamy; if I could, I would have ate the sauce by the gallon! The mozzarella cheese didn't have a golden brown char appearance, but don't let that fool you. The melted mozzarella blended perfectly with the cutlet, pasta, and sauce! The Funfetti cake was an excellent dessert; the cake was served chilled with layers of frosting in between the spongy, cake. My minor critique is that I wish the donut hole wasn't sliced as that compromises the appearance. Usually, I'm not a fan of wild shakes as the toppong is too overbearing. However, this does not apply with the Cookie Monster because the sugar cookie is not too powerful or sweet. In addition, the vanilla milkshake is dyed aqua blue to match the iconic Sesame Street character. The Cookie Monster design is very attractive and realistic. This was a fantastic experience visiting this restaurant. #tenaflyclassicdiner #buffalochickeneggrolls #frenchdip #vodkachickenparmesan #funfetticake #cookiemonstershake #wildshake #milkshake #eats #localspots #foodstagram #foodreview #njfoodie

Tenafly Diner

A classic dinner- the kind of place that I like very much for its architecture and style. This was our first time here on a visit to the town. The service was great and the menu extensive. The food (generous portions) could have been better. We had the avocado toast and a country breakfast with scrambled eggs. Tea and a latte to drink. Everything tasted ok but not tasty- a pity. The check came to over $40.

Fast service. Great menu. Went for the the lunch special and it did not disappoint. Great deal. Great amount of food. Love the Cobb salad. I didn't like the matzah ball though.

Corned Beef Hash & Eggs
Katie R.

I've been here a few times now. Morning weekends can be busy but they are good about getting you seated. They have some specialty drinks and desserts with a wow factor. It's a classic diner with big portions and fair pricing. They also serve some alcoholic options. I've gone for later in the evening dessert as well as breakfast. Staff is friendly. A good local spot to frequent with a large menu.

California Fish Tacos- grilled cod fish
Sellina Y.

We ordered dinner via UberEats last night. It was our first time trying out this restaurant and I would definitely order again. I am pleasantly surprised with the grilled cod fish tacos. VERY filling as it is served with generous amount of fish. And the bonus side of plantains and rice with black beans are a plus. Plantains are my favorite side dish add-on to fish tacos. It would be nice to see plantains as a side dish option to purchase, at least that was an option the food app. This restaurant is running a promo on the app. Or if the is Buy one get one free on their cheesecake dessert. I highly recommend their fluffy mousse-like whipped cheesecakes, so delicious! They taste homemade and slices were large. The only reason why I didn't give this a 5 stars is bc the taco was on the drier end. It could had used complimentary sauces and lime/lemon. Also, to food was cold by the time my delivery arrived. Will definitely reorder and try the crispy fish version next time.

Bronx Burger
Kristin H.

Lively and loud diner on a Sat evening. It seemed child friendly since many group have children. Service was efficient, and food came out quickly. Got a Bronx Burger with "medium" patty, but the patty ultimately came out as well done. Burger was still thankfully ok.

Firehouse Burger
Cia H.

The server Lina (hope I got that right) is amazing and gives great service. We got the French toast sticks (it was a huge portion for a great price and tasty), the firehouse burger (was extremely dry and lacking flavor) and Oreo pancakes (not pictured but always delicious). Overall the food and service are good.

Classic Diner Reuben
Stefanie C.

I used to come here as a kid weekly. This place has not changed a bit and i guess that's good and bad lol. Food has always been mediocre to good. Its a diner and im not much of a diner person but it definitely has everything you could want. The service is good.

Corned Beef Hash & Eggs while passing through
Kree J.

If you're looking for a hearty breakfast in the Tenafly Classic Diner is a go-to spot. The ambiance gives an old-school diner atmosphere; serves up all the classics and offers great value for your money. The breakfast menu has something for everyone. I'm a fan of their omelets. Standouts are the Greek omelet with spinach and feta and the Spanish omelet with tomatoes, onions, and peppers. The staff are also friendly. If you're in Tenafly, the Classic Diner is the perfect place to start your day with a hearty, affordable breakfast.

It's lively, a little eclectic, and full of personality in the best way. The food matches that energy perfectly. The nachos and cheesesteaks are not just good, they're fun. Generous, flavorful, and perfect for sharing (or not, depending on how hungry you are). It's the kind of menu that doesn't take itself too seriously but still delivers exactly what you're hoping for. What really sets La Taberna apart, though, is everything happening beyond the plate. Live music, and other events give the place a vibrant, social feel. It's ideal for a fun date night or just getting together with friends and enjoying the moment. I've been there many times, and it never disappoints. If you want great food in a place that actually feels alive, this is the spot.

The octopus was tender, perfectly cooked, tasty, and much larger than the usual small octopus portions you get at most restaurants. My skirt steak was also tender, juicy and flavorful.

New Milford, NJ 07746 $18.99 Lunch special: Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beer Smash Cheeseburger Fries I encountered this deal from a leaflet that was placed on my front door, so I decided to stop by on a weekday afternoon. The lunch offer is valid Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM. Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beef: There was a variety of ten different draft beers to select. I don't order from the tap often, so I wasn't familiar with the beers. Before making my decision, Server Marcos was kind enough to let me sample it to be sure I I would like it. The IPA was fantastic. It was served chilled with a bit of foam up top. There was a hint of citrus and it had a smooth taste. Unfortunately, free refills are not included with the lunch special. Smash Cheeseburger & Fries: This is a perfect lunch serving portion as it will definitely keep you full until supper time. The double patty was served on a potato roll with special sauce and toppings; it didn't disappoint. The proportion of fries could have been a bit larger, but it they were still tasty. There are several flat screen HDTVs for patrons that enjoy watching sports as they wine and dine. If you enjoy the nightlife or clubbing atmosphere, a silver disco ball is adorned at the center of the restaurant. There is a decently sized outdoor seating area, which includes one semi-circular booth. As a bonus, if you want to purchase any bottled or canned beverages to bring home, there is a liquor store conveniently attached to the pub. This was a great lunch deal and if you need a quick meal in the middle of the day, stop by Barrel and Brew today! #barrelandbrew #barrelandbrewcraftbar #barrelandbrewlunchspecial #barrelandbrewwineandspirits

My wife and I have frequented Houston's over 120 times since they opened in 1996. While prices have naturally gone up over the years, the quality of the food and service has remained consistently strong. Overall, it's a restaurant we've thoroughly enjoyed visiting every few months. Recently, my siblings and I took our 86-year-old mother there to celebrate her birthday. While the meal was good overall, we ran into a few minor hiccups. I was going to chalk it up to an off day and move on, but the restaurant sent me a post-dining feedback survey, so I filled it out honestly. To my absolute surprise, I received the following response from Jessica Treadway in Guest Services: "We are in receipt of your recent Wisely review which prompted a review of your previous comments. While we understand you dine frequently, it seems you are often under the impression that we have missed the mark in one capacity or another. This is unfortunate as our goal is always to exceed our guests' expectations. In relation to your most recent comment, we always cut our burgers in half unless our guests request otherwise. That said, given the frequency of your displeasure, we believe it is best if you find alternative dining arrangements moving forward. We are in the business of providing excellent food and service to those who appreciate what we offer, and it is clear our restaurant is not in line with your dining preferences. Thank you for your time, and we wish you well." Needless to say, telling a loyal customer of nearly 30 years to "find alternative dining arrangements" simply for providing constructive feedback on a survey is an astonishing approach to customer service. Subsequent attempts to reach Hillstone management went unanswered (despite receiving email read receipts). It is incredibly disappointing to be treated this way after decades of support. If you visit Houston's, you will likely get a good meal--just be aware that if they ask for your feedback on a survey, you might want to keep it to yourself.
