I don't really like this mall. It's overpriced and the parking situation is not great. I have never seen it very crowded.

I worked there in the late 70's early 80's right out of high school . It was the first fancy high end mall ..around that i remember..i have to go back to visit .. read more

This mall has the potential to be North Jersey's answer to Short Hills Mall but it's not. This mall is beautiful, fancy and posh but it's always empty. A few days before Christmas I found a spot right in front of the entrance. Yup, I just said that. I can hear all the gasps from here. You are saying "how is that possible?". Well I have a number of theories why this mall is under preforming. 1). The location. Very close to Garden State Plaza which has 95% of the same stores. 2). Lots of retail space is empty. I believe I walked one hallway that had no stores, just wallpaper about how fancy the mall is and lease information on for prospective tenants. I believe I speed walked that section cause it was very scary to find an empty hallway in a New Jersey Mall. I felt like the token white girl in a horror movie. It legit was creepy. I wish this mall had better selection because I rather come here than GSP because it's way less packed and not full of mall rats. Sak's is leaving, so that goes to show you how traffic is in this mall. They should look at Short Hills and go by their model. Add a Sephora, a department store to replace Sak's although this will be tough as the rest of major department stores are five minutes North at GSP. The Bloomingdales here is awesome! Great selection and staff. Barnes & Noble here sucks, very small with limited titles. The resteraunt selection here is great. There are so many. PF Changs, Mortons, Cheesecake Factory, Rosa Mexicano, Maggiano's and a few more. No food court, it's too fancy for that so don't go looking for Panda Express or McDonalds. Au Bu Pain is as close as you will get. This mall will be great if they add the proper retail options. It's beautiful, never packed and in prime location. read more

Riverside is one of the nicest shopping experiences in the area. It's a much calmer scene than nearby Garden State Plaza, and the parking lot is a bit easier to navigate. . The store selections includes high end retailers (Hermes, Omega, Coach), but there are certainly enough moderately-priced retailers (Banana Republic, J. Crew) that the mall doesn't have that super-exclusive feel to it. For food, Au Bon Pain is going to have to do for the low-priced eats. There are several moderate to high-priced chain restaurants attached. Riverside is located on Route 4 West, maybe twenty minutes from the George Washington Bridge if you're visiting from New York. read more

Dear person who originally put in this business listing: Saks Fifith Avenue is not an address. Anyway, there are basically three malls near my parent's house in Bergenfield and they all correspond to three income levels. There's Garden State Plaza in Paramus which is a great mall because they have such a huge variety and cater to both mallrats & grownups alike, there's Bergen Mall, which is on the lower side of income spectrum and is very depressing as a result, and then there's Riverside Square. This mall is a little more upscale - no Claire's, Hot Topic or pet store (Like in garden state plaza). Instead, there's stuff like Coach, Banana Republic, Talbots & L'Occitane. There's also an actual day spa, not one of those cheap nails salons that most malls have. It's all very stuffy & trophy wife & I never felt comfortable here so I almost never make it to this mall. I don't think anyone else did either since they are expanding and focusing on opening more restaurants and less old lady stores. There's now a Barnes & Nobles (OPEN SUNDAYS!) and it looks like a PF Chang's, Macaroni Grill and some Mexican chain restaurant I've never heard of will be opening up soon. Honestly though, unless you're super rich or going to eat at Houston's, drive yourself across the street, get on the freeway and drive to Garden State. read more

I enjoyed this Mall. 1) It is very fancy. Which means, very expensive. 2) I will recommend coming here to browse, and if you have to buy something, unless you are rich, do so wisely. 3) They have free phone charging stations in multiple locations. Which is awesome. read more

Nice and quiet compared to the other bigger malls around. While it is more restaurant-centric, the stores are eclectic enough to entertain the average joe. Barnes and nobles is a nice touch and will distract the kids while you wait for your table at Cheesecake Factory. Pottery barn kids is by far the biggest, well stocked, cleanest and well-behaved one I've been in. Plenty of restrooms and family friendly seating areas with recharging stations. Parking can be a little tricky but heck of a lot easier than garden state. read more

The Shops at Riverside - Shopping Centers Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Riverside Square/Shops At Riverside is similar to The Mall At Short Hills. Amazing array of upscale merchandise with a parking garage full of $50,000 exotic wheels. Recently (Columbus Day) went in to Sak's Fifth to buy some Kiehl's face moisturizer and the mall was totally empty. Women who sell cosmetics at Sak's are straight out of old Playboy centerfolds and on that afternoon, were only to happy to give me lots of advice and schmoosing. One particular woman, with a very strong Easterrn European accent, was gorgeous. She said that overall sales had been slow since mid-August and management didn't expect an increase in traffic until post Thanksgiving. Still a great place to hang out on a rainy Saturday and the mall bars are a wall to wall single scene on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Food is moderate to downright expensive but well prepared from extensive menu selections. read more

This mall is not as busy as the other nearby ones (Garden State Plaza, Paramus Park Mall, etc). It doesn't have many stores that would suit my age range. The only reason I ever go here is to hit up Barnes & Noble, Gap or The Cheesecake Factory. I do enjoy the fact that there is hardly ever anyone at this mall. You can be one of three people in a hallway at a time. Stores are always quiet. This place is usually full of stuck-up rich snobs from the upper Bergen County area (Saddle River, Old Tappan, Tenafly, etc). The rich bitches that walk around and act like they're better than everyone... those bitches. read more

I don't know how most of the stores in this mall stay in business as I have never seen more than a handful of people in this mall at any one time. It is always incredibly empty. If you like a solitary shopping experience, this mall is for you. You'll have plenty of attention from all of the salespeople in the various stores because they are all too eager to have a break from the mind-numbing boredom of just standing around waiting for customers. Yes, it is the high-end mall in the area and caters to a wealthier consumer, and there are a few affordable shops, but who really cares? No one shops here because you can drive a mile or two down the road and be at the Garden State Plaza which is much bigger, has a wider selection of stores, and a larger variety of merchandise for sale. The restaurants make good business though and are extremely crowded, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. The restaurants are really what draw people to the mall - Cheesecake Factory, Houston's, McCormick & Schmick's being the most popular. The parking lot is always full because everyone is at the restaurants. Perhaps someday, it will just be a whole mall full of restaurants. That would be kinda cool. There is also a smaller Barnes & Nobles which was a fairly recent addition. This store too makes decent business. The vast majority of the time that I go to this mall, it's to pick something up at Barnes & Nobles, otherwise, it's to have a meal at one of the restaurants. Other than that, the Garden State Plaza offers a much better shopping experience. They really should rename the complex.... I think The Restaurants At Riverside has a nice ring to it. read more

Riverside Square is an upscale mall in Hackensack. How is it upscale? Well, in comparison to the other nearby malls in Paramus, Riverside Square has more high-end and specialty shops - Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Hermes, Tiffany's, etc. The interior is cleaner and nicer looking, and its always less crowded than Garden State Plaza. Riverside has a full-service day spa too, The Fountain Spa. There's also a really large Barnes & Noble at Riverside, and its open on Sunday! At Riverside Square, there are a number of restaurants (mostly chains) including: Morton's Steakhouse, The Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang's, Rosa Mexicano, Houston's, McCormick & Schmick's, Thai Chef, and Maggiano's Little Italy. The waits can be ridiculously long at these restaurants. read more

This is my second visit with my family. I expected too much from the first experience. I expected to have a great steak NY Strip. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. First it came out came out worse then a burnt bacon. Half of the steak was burnt with very nasty smell. I couldn't eat even a single bite. How was this possible? Burnt steak at M&S? Ouch. My tongue was asking for a BIG MAC than this steak. My wife ordered Parmesan crusted fish was simply BLAND, TASTELESS, and the fish was stale old. She couldn't eat it either. I can still taste and smell the completely burnt steak they served me. I better become a vegetarian after this experience. The only positive thing was .............water. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! read more

The Rodeo Drive Mall of New Jersey. You can definitely see the noses high in the air as you walk through. With that being said, they have fabulous restaurants and shops read more

Sweet baby Jesus this mall is damn awful for parking and easy access. Not only that, they've been renovating for FOREVER now and the escalators or elevators are always out of service. Good luck figuring out how to get out of this damn mall. read more

The Good: Comfortable couches great for relaxing, reading or people watching. Cooking demonstrations at Williams-Sonoma Manhattan's at Maggiano's. Wines by the glass at Morton's No kids, tweens or teens. Occasional celebrity sighting The Bad read more

This mall is relatively small in size but consists of many higher end and pricey stores. Those coming here are probably not looking for deep discounts. We thoroughly enjoyed the change of pace. The mall is quieter than most and parking was not a challenge. Being able to walk through on a Saturday without much foot traffic made the visit rather relaxing. Great to see so many mobile phone charging stations with plenty of comfortable sofa seating for those who need a quick break. There is no Starbucks here (aside from the one inside Barnes and Noble), but there is another coffee shop that is significantly better! I'd come back just for this coffee shop! Barnes and Noble has survived and it's two floors! Well-stacked and clearly displayed - a great sight. read more

This is a high end mall. It's less crowded & more civilizes than the bigger malls nearby, but at a price. The Flagship store is Bloomingdales. There are many high end specialty stores & some good dining options, The store that I most often actually buy from in this mall is Barnes & Noble bookstore.It's pleasant to walk here even if it's only to see how the live. read more

I actually enjoy shopping at this mall. It is clean and very nicely decorated. It is never as crowded as other nearby shopping malls. This is also my go to location for pictures with Easter Bunny and Santa. Great place to get your shopping done quickly and in peace. All of my favorite stores are also at this location. read more

It's a luxurious mall that has a lot of high end stores such as Bloomingdale, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Tiffany & Co, Burberry, Godiva Chocolates, and etc. The mall is quiet and empty for a mall and I must say that it has been declining over the years. There are quite a number of vacant stores and the mall isn't as renovated or well kept as it should be. There are a lot of seating arrangements throughout the mall with complimentary chargers for your phone. Spacious Parking Lots read more

Very upscale. There's a great variety if you buy expensive clothes. I rarely do, so it doesn't really suit my needs. I mostly go to this mall when I feel the need to splurge, never for regular shopping. They do have some regular stuff like Gap, Barnes and Noble and Victoria's Secret though. There's no food court but plenty of sit-down restaurants. It's very clean. Also, the mall can be practically empty at times. It's unsettling. The parking lot could be bigger as well. Overall if you're a fashion person you might love this place. If you tend not to spend a lot of money on clothes, look elsewhere. read more

Threading eyebrow salon did a fantastic job at shaking my eyebrows- so much so that I decided to undergo micro blading on the spot! Martha was fantastic and amazing! The shape is gorgeous and I am very pleased! Definitely a must do! Must visit and check them out! read more

Awesome mall and has great sales as not too many people go there Tons of good food options make sure you hit up Bergen Plaza which has outlets and good deals read more

Only come here because it's the only Bloomie's in the area. As others have said, not your average NJ mall demographics - ie not overrun by teens with tight clothes or drooping pants, usually empty even on Saturdays. That said - I generally dislike the demographics here - way rich young couples who dress their toddlers in Burberry and let them wander the mall aimlessly. Women shopping in 4-inch stilletos and cocktail dresses. Just odd. I can't tell if I'm out of place when I'm here or if I they are the ones out of place. read more

Compact higher end retail mall that is a good spot if you go in knowing the stores in the mall. It's like a smaller short hills. It doesn't have everything but covers most of the higher end mall spectrum. Bloomindales, Tiffanys, Hermes, Ferragamo to Jcrew and Brooks Brothers. Even has an Omega boutique. So this is a solid spot but isn't open on Sundays of course and sometimes if you're looking for a couple specific stores it won't have them all. Should check it out when you wanna spend a lot - like it but still like Short Hills better. read more

I love this mall! You are not going to find large rawdy crowds of kids here, but instead families and plenty of strollers. This is the mall for the budgetless, medium to high-end shopper. As of right now, you will find Saks (which is soon closing and being replaced with a movie theater), Bloomingdales (furniture dept as well), Louis Vuitton, Ferragamo, La Perla, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn & Pottery Barn Kids, Wolford, Godiva, Banana Republic, J. Crew, GAP, Janie & Jack, Arhaus, Houston's, Cheescake Factory, The Oceannaire, Smash Burger, Morton's Steakhouse, and Barnes & Noble. read more

A mall that met its demise, came back from the dead, and re-invented itself as an upscale food court that happens to have shops. RSM is a high-end mall (think Natick Collections, if you're a Bostonian reading this)- Bloomies, Tiffany, Hermes, Louis, all that stuff- but I'm convinced that what keeps this place afloat are the restaurants, and there are tons of them: Houstons, Cheesecake, McCormick's, etc. Given that this is Bergen County, and dining options are often grim, these places are all packed, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. If you have a critique of capitalism and/or materialism, this probably isn't the place for you. read more

A old fashion Italian resturaunt which never will let you down. This place has been around for many a year and many to come. A location where amazing service and quality food come hand in hand. If you are looking for well prepared drinks from the bar or perfectly cooked food come here. I have been here over 30 times and would never say I have been disapointed. The only downside is I don't have more time to come here. Always clean, fast service and happy waiters. read more

The Shops at Riverside - Four cheese ravioli amazing with every bite. - Shopping Centers Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

See all

The Shops at Riverside are great, except for my experience at Starbucks in Barnes and Noble today. I waited for 30 min. and I was handed a watery strawberry frappuccino, topped off with sad, depressed whipped cream. I just thought i'd point that out, but other then that the mall is totally fine. Buy some whipped cream, ya weirdos! read more

One of my favorite NJ mall. Never crouded, upscale shops, and great restaurants. No mall rats, no food court. Perfect.

Fantastic mall, even though some of the stores are far beyond mall prices. Always clean, rarely crowded, a relaxing environment to walk, shop and eat. read more

I would of gave this plaza 5 starts, but they only good store they have going on for me is the Bloomingdale! I mean of course some restaurants are great as well, and what I LOVE LOVE LOVE about this mall is that it's never crowded! Thats the best part! read more

Love this mall. Never over-packed with people, upscale stores are all in one place. Parking could be tough in the afternoon or evening because of the restaurants. There are security guards everywhere and very clean. Love the fountain spa in ground floor and Bloomingdale's. One of my favorite mall. read more

Great mall. There's always parking available. They have great restaurants and shops.

It's an OK Mall. I like that they have very good restruants and Barnes and Noble, BR, and The Gap Store. Maggiano's Chessecake facotry and smashburger are good food but the customer service are so nice. read more

The one A-list mall that's not crowded. It's pretty much "upscale-only", with very high-end and attractive stores. The mall finally seems to be on the upswing, with new stores starting to trickle in, but it has plenty of room for more. If only I could live at that Pottery Barn or the Bloomingdale's home section, I'd be like Louis XIV in Versailles. read more

Fantastic mall, even though some of the stores are far beyond mall prices. Always clean, rarely crowded, a relaxing environment to walk, shop and eat. Would be nice if they had valet parking read more

This mall is extremely high end. I love going there to pretend I have truckloads of money and get away from the riff raff that generally hang out in other malls in the area. They've rennovated recently and added some new restaurants and a Barnes and Nobles which is nice, and as stated in previous posts, the B&N is open Sundays! (which is a novelty in Bergen County). For the money-conscience consumer (i.e. myself) there is a pretty nice Target and TGIFriday's up the road. read more

This is one of the nicest malls I have ever been to, it is also one of the most expensive. They have some of the highest end restaurants in the area so if you want to eat good here is the place to go. They also have some of the highest end shops in the area all in one place as well. Good thing to keep in mind if you don't really have money for that lol. The awesome part about this place though is that even though a lot of the stores are high end they aren't snobby. They actually treat you with respect here whether you look like you come from money or not. Which is always a rare but, awesome happenstance. Check this place out for some higher end merchandise and eat at one of their restaurants you wont be disappointed. read more

Very nice mall located in bergen county - expect nice restaurants and nice, but mostly high end stores. Good parking available. This is the only mall I will go to on weekends! read more
