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

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is by far my favorite burger joint! And the garlic fries are super delicious! The Milkshakes are a must with these burgers!

Ask the Community - The Lab Burger

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.

They sell lots of foods you'd expect at a farm including homemade ice creams and farm fresh eggs. The food is good, my family and I like the egg sandwiches, chicken pot pie, pulled pork and for dessert they have yummy cookies. On the weekend we visit the antiques stores across the street and always find some great treasures there.

Farm Cafe 40 Old Hook Road…read moreCloster, NJ 07624 Homemade Hibiscus Iced Tea Farm Burger This country style cafe is located on the Abram Demaree Homestead farm. This building has been around since 1700s and was formerly a general store and tavern. All of the menu items are freshly prepared in house using organic ingredients directly from the farm. These are a couple of the lunch menu items I explored: Homemade Hibiscus Iced Tea: This herbal beverage has a reddish color; its appearance is different from an original iced tea. The drink was very refreshing with a slightly tart taste. Farm Burger: This ounce angus patty includes lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and a secret sauce. I also added yellow American cheese for a $1 up charge. I cannot identify the ingredients of the secret sauce, hence the name. It was really tasty and I requested a small extra cup on the side for dipping. For the most part, this was a tasty burger. Next time, I will request to have the patty cooked medium well because I feel a well done burger compromises its flavor. This cafe also serves as a farmers market; they sell grocery items such as homemade honey and farm fresh eggs. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. I highly recommend dining in so you can take in the country atmosphere. #farmcafe #abramdemareehomesteadfarm #farmburger #hibiscusicedtea #closternj

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 sister and I dined in at Jaffar's Burgers on the evening of Columbus Day, 5pm. after taking our 5 little ones to Bergen County Zoo on Columbus Day evening, around 5pm. We were one of the two groups of customers at that time. Later it got busier with people picking up & dining in. Our kids needed the bathrooms first, which were nice, clean & smelled nice. The smelling nice part, my 7 year old pointed out LOL. We ordered chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches, silver classic burgers (we ordered the lovely sauce on side) & fries for the kids. My sister & I split a chicken sandwich & a double golden cheeseburger. I gotta tell you that lovely sauce is... lovely & has a bit of a kick to it! The lava fries are just that, very spicy; order at your own risk I'm writing this review, as I'm finishing eating my left overs from that day LOL. Still tasty! It was so refreshing to see a family cooking my food. I recommend everyone try this small-family run business.
