    I am so bummed that we had a poor experience with TLB tonight and hoping it is a one-off. We ordered a plain hot dog, chicken sliders combo, and kids cheeseburger, all which had extremely burnt and hard buns. It was difficult to eat so we took the meat off and ate it like that. The chicken from the sliders had zero flavor so I didn't eat them. Our order of fries was raw and inedible. My expectations rank fairly high since it is not a cheap meal. 2 stars because my husband's burger (Happy Accident) seemed fine.

    The food is usually pretty solid fast food. I recently decided to try their burger bowl though and it said it comes with cheese but there was none which left this bowl incredibly dry and just blah was a waste I couldn't eat it

    Had the Tree Hugger burger (veggie burger) and sweet potato fries. The burger gets pretty messy 1/3 way in. It's not really a patty. Very good tho. Flavor is def there. Chipotle sauce has a nice kick. Sweet potato fries are good! I'll definitely try other items.

    It's like....fine?? We've been looking forward to trying it, ordered on DoorDash. We live exactly 9 minutes away. Everything: luke warm, at best. Fries....fine...no seasoning not even salt? Sweet potato fries...clearly a real sweet potato but also...bland? Not crispy at all. Onion rings, soggy. So all of these had to go in the air fryer and even then...just kind of flat. Burgers ALL too rare, I'm a medium rare person and this was bloody. Original with bacon. A 5. Max. The remake...little bit of an odd flavor combination, also a 5. Max. Bacon blue, 6. I would give them another try NOT for take out but I'm not sure id spend almost 80.00 for 3 burgers, 3 fries/sides and 3 sodas to have to cook and season again. Everything needed seasoning. The house made ketchup, sort of reminiscent of ketchup as a kid but also, closer to tomato paste. BBQ sauce good Ranch great! Upon further review...the entire problem with the burger is the burger that is a pre shaped brick patty, La Frieda must have seen better days because this is a frozen tasting texturally unpleasant situation. The cheese is also lab created I suppose because it's melted but it's also....a perfect square. The bun and othe toppings are fresh and balanced, just needs a different burger in there. We will try again for dine in

    Side of onion rings $5

    Hit or miss? This was somewhere in between. We got takeout based on the photos provided on Yelp. You can see ours looked a *little* different. The fries were ok, not very crispy but that's what comes with hand cut. They tossed in a couple of ketchup packets for free. The rings were good, but as you can see, the portion was tiny for $5. We did have to pay extra for chipotle mayo, which was good but you can include ONE sauce if we get $9 worth of sides! The burgers were a good size. The tree hugger had potential, but just didn't compare to the picture. It fell apart as you ate it. The Texas burger was also good, but neither was out of this world. I was pretty excited and had high expectations knowing that they use local produce and meats. It just didn't seem to come together where you say "I need to come back."

    The Morning After burger; fried egg, sliced avocado, applewood smoked bacon and mayo on a toasted English muffin
    Brian L.

    Have now been here twice and can certify that the quality of the food is well above average. The chicken sandwiches are crispy on the outside and moist and tender inside, and the beef burgers are flavorful. The Spicy Chicken is definitely a favorite as the slightly-sweet bun perfectly balances the light heat of the Buffalo sauce. Today I had the Morning After and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The fried egg on top was cooked perfectly, as the runny yolk stayed intact until I took my first bite. I decided to swap Mayo for Chipotle Mayo and thought it the perfect compliment to the other ingredients, including the beef burger, melted cheese, avocado, applewood smoked bacon on the toasted English muffin. The side of fries is a good value but the burgers and sandwiches seem to be just a tad on the pricey side - but not nearly enough to keep us from coming back.

    Texas Hold'em
    Christopher B.

    First off, definitely filling. Solid lunch or dinner. I thought Texas Hold'em was solid. It could use a stronger BBQ sauce. I appreciate the burger NOT being slathered in sauce, so it really is a point of a bolder sauce. Burger wasn't greasey. Clean eat. My wife liked the original. She called it an upgraded Big Mac, meaning that classic iconic burger at a higher, premium quality. I loved my parmesan fries. My wife thought there a bit too well done. But I like well, so win for me! Haha. The folks behind the counter were very friendly. Would be nice to see some seating or matching decor to match the cool music vibe that was happening. It's very sparse. But, I'll chalk that up to it being brand new. The Lab is a SOLID solution to a serious burger craving. Room to get bolder on taste & vibe, but a solid bite. I got a lot of hope for this crew.

    Morning after burger
    Jessica M.

    So we came here because we are always excited to try something new. The food was really good but very pricey. The vibe of the restaurant had potential but unfortunately not completely met. Either the owner or manager sat outside a long hallway while working which took up a lot of space and there seemed to be a huge water delivery because there was a long table with stacks of water on it. They should definitely invest in a cleaning company because the hall to the back door was gross and falling apart and the bathroom was disgusting so bad so I didn't want to touch anything! All in all cute place and concept but I don't think we will be returning.

    Awesome bacon blue burger with Smokey bacon and high quality cheese.

    Highest quality ingredients cooked by someone who cares about what they are making. This is the burger joint you wish every other place was. Also, the staff was just stellar.

    I was headed to the diner and the traffic was bumper to bumper because of a re route due a closed road. I pulled into a nearby parking lot and ended up enjoying one of the best house made veggie burgers I've ever had with a side of fried pickles reminiscent of The Penguin in Charlotte. If you are anywhere along Kinderkamack Rd looking for really good burgers and sides check this place out.

    Is there outdoor dining? Is it pup friendly?

    They have some metal chairs and tables outside, but no heat for cold days. I think you should be fine walking in with a pup, there are no signs at the door about pups.

    Five Guys (Located in Hackensack Commons Strip Mall)…read more450 Hackensack Ave. Hackensack, NJ 07601 Peanuts Little Cheeseburger Five Guys Shake This casual burger restaurant chain has a limited menu with ironically a lot choices. Peanuts: While you are waiting for the main course, help yourself to complimentary peanuts. It was a great way to keep occupied prior to the meal, especially because I always enjoyed physically cracking open the shells. I recommend taking two disposable paper trays; the first tray is for the peanuts and the second tray is for the shells and the red/brown testa that covers each kernel. Just don't go "nuts" and have too many because you'll want to save your appetite for the main course. Little Cheeseburger: This single patty burger was served "all the way." Without any extra charge, I ordered all eight toppings permitted along with a splash of A1 steak sauce. The bun itself did not have the most stellar appearance, but otherwise this burger was a masterpiece because all the fixings blended well together. This burger is little by name, but it is not little by size. Five Guys Shake: Named after the restaurant, this milkshake was ultra thick. Similar to the burger, aerosol whipped cream and mix-in specialty flavors are complimentary. I decided to explore my taste buds by selecting the bacon mix-in. The texture was sweet and salty. Although there were plenty of crunchy bacon bits, many of them weren't chopped small enough and I wasn't able to slurp the bacon through the straw. I would have preferred that this drink be served in a clear plastic cup because plastic tends to keep drinks colder. On a less important note, it also compromises the appearance because I can't see the drink. Although my feeling about the milkshake are "mixed," I will definitely return to Five Guys to purchase their burgers and next time I will try the fries. The menu isn't the biggest, but the variety of toppings and all you can eat peanuts make up for that. #fiveguys #fiveguysburgersandfries #littlecheeseburger #fiveguysshake #baconmilkshake #fiveguyspeanuts #peanuts

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.

The ranch dressing adds a savory flavor to the side Large Fountain Drink: Wash your meal down with a variety of Pepsi products. The choices are plentiful ranging from soda, iced tea, and limeade.
