No worries here, Cruz-Missle Hot Dogs was fantastic. Came here with two work buddies and we were a little early so we had the place to ourselves (though a few people came in while we were there for to-go lunches). I love Thumann's dogs so I had the Cruz-Missile specialty dog with a Thumann's. Came with hot chili, spicy cooked onions, spicy mustard and pickled jalapeños. I also had a Snap-O-Razzo brand dog with chili, mustard, and kraut. We also shared fries, onion rings and the owner let us try his mozzarella sticks. I thought the Cruz-Missile would be a bit sloppy, but it was the perfect amount of toppings and as good as the toppings were, they didn't overwhelm the flavor of the dog. This was my first time tasting the Snap-O-Razzo dog and it was a home run. The flavor of the dog just popped and it's really delicious-unlike any other hot dog I've ever tasted. The fries, rings and mozzarella sticks were also delicious. Owner actually brought us out a second round of onion rings because the first ones weren't his hand battered rings and he wanted us to taste the real thing. Owner is a former police officer and the decor around the place is very first-responder friendly. We spoke with him at length about opening the place, why he uses the dogs and ingredients he uses, and some of the issues he's had. It was a great experience. I've eaten a LOT of dogs in a LOT of places in Jersey and while I'm not gonna put them at the top of my personal Top Hot Dogs list, in my opinion...it's in my top five...another trip is needed to perhaps move it up slightly.

You will love that first bite-you can literally hear the snap! Thumanns also makes a delish hotdog and there so many variations! The 100% sirloin beef smash burgers are so juicy and well seasoned. The Cuban sandwich should NOT be missed-filled with roasted pork, fresh ham, pickled onions with cheese on fresh Portuguese bread. Insta: @thehungrysw

Both were good we just wish there was a bit more sauce to them. The bread is delicious though, super soft and crunchy on the outside. Their fries are great too, homemade and tasty. I'll definitely be back to try their disco fries. While we enjoyed this trip, I think I'll definitely come back to try their burgers too. They offer milkshakes too- which we split and it was a nice treat to finish lunch. This is definitely a place you can come to indulge in some cravings!

No Hanky Panky at Spanky's…read more We were looking for a burger place after a long golf tournament and Spanky's did not disappoint. A small dining room with several tables spread apart and sporting events playing on the television. A self serve refreshment counter with several drink options. The menu has several options with a special of the day displayed on the counter. I loved the cheese skirt and will go back to get another one! More importantly, the kid's loved their burgers and fries also.

Uncle Luis loved Frank Sinatra so we sat in that area. He also used to sit in a specific chair everytime. Thank you Wallington Diner for providing our Uncle Luis with one of his favorite restaurants.

Every time I drive past this place, I swear the same thought comes into my head: I gotta stop and…read moregrab a burger. At this point, this is easily one of my favorite burger spots in New Jersey. The burger comes out hot and juicy, with that nice sear on the outside while the inside stays tender and full of flavor. Then you have the cheese melting right into the meat, all those juices soaking slightly into the bun without turning it into a soggy mess. And the bun deserves some credit too--soft, fresh, a little toasted, and actually strong enough to hold the whole thing together until the last bite. It's the kind of burger where you take that first bite and immediately know you made the right decision stopping. What I really respect, though, is the consistency. I've been here plenty of times, and it doesn't seem to matter who's working the kitchen--the burger comes out the way it's supposed to. That's something a lot of places around Jersey could learn from. The restaurant itself is clean too, which I definitely appreciate. I actually feel comfortable sitting down and eating here instead of automatically taking everything to go. Prices are fair for what you're getting, especially these days. I'll keep coming back to this location and the other ones around Jersey. When a business keeps the food good, the place clean, the prices reasonable, and the quality consistent, they deserve the support. One of my go-to burger spots in NJ. No question. Highly recommended.

Jim Dandy's 102 Park Ave…read more Rutherford, NJ 07070 Mango Habanero Wings Smoked Brisket Full Rack of Ribs Bird In Hand Smoked Pork I randomly found out across this barbecue restaurant as I walked along the main strip. Having no knowledge of this location, my curiosity led me inside. Jose, the manager, told me the chef prepares a homemade barbecue sauce, which has been a family secret recipe for over 30 years. Jose also brought to my attention a really great deal offered on Tuesdays: full rack of ribs for the cost of a half rack! He gave me a free sample of the secret sauce. That spoon size taste went a long way as I was immediately hooked by its flavor and tanginess. With the exception of the wings, I tried the sauce on all of their killer meats! The tender, juicy brisket melted in my mouth. The pork ribs fell right off the bone. My personal favorite was the bird in hand. This half chicken made me feel like I was in dining at Medieval Times in Lyndhurst! The only thing missing was a tournament with gladiators grappling in a colosseum! Between the tasty meats, strictly confidential house made barbecue sauce, and the excellent service from the manager and the servers, I was very content and my crave for barbecue has been happily fulfilled! #jimdandys #killermeats #barbecue #MangoHabanero #smokedbrisket #rackofribs #pulledpork #barbecuechicken

Any old-timers out there remember when this was The Nutley Pub? (As one Yelper wrote, "Not the…read moreclassiest bar but..." - which perfectly summed up the last place.) Now going strong for well over a decade (?!) - Cowan's is classy and cool and leans into its strengths. Easily the hippest and most-happening spot in Nutley (and the surrounding towns) for the 'mature crowd' that's probably more interested in mash and hops and wort than getting hammered and making bad decisions at last call. The (ever rotating) beers on tap are stellar. The selection of bottles (of the harder stuff) on the picturesque back bar are eye-catching (even if I never heard of half of them). (After a few visits I still haven't tried the food. One of these days I'll get around to that, I promise.) Recommended, for sure.

Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. My husband ordered the steak, which was overcooked and very tough. The portion was essentially a few small pieces of steak served over fries, which was not what we expected. My daughter and I ordered burgers, which were okay but nothing particularly memorable. I also asked if my daughter could have her lemonade served in one of the fun Halloween cups, since that was part of what made the restaurant appealing to her. Our waitress told me she couldn't do that. On top of that, two of the appetizers we wanted to order were unavailable, as were the shot glasses we requested. The service was also disappointing. Our waitress did not introduce herself, was not particularly friendly, and never asked if it was our first time visiting. She also didn't offer any recommendations or explain the specials, which would have been especially helpful since we were first-time guests. Overall, we came in excited based on what we had seen on Instagram, but unfortunately the food, service, and overall experience did not live up to our expectations. We really wanted to enjoy this place, especially with our daughter, but we left feeling very disappointed
