    Inside the dulce de batata empanada -- which surprisingly also had cheese.
    Abbe N.

    I was passing through the area and stopped in here for a quick bite before any evening rushes could hit. Good timing -- three tables came in a little while after me, along with a few other people who had takeout orders! It was nice, everyone seemed friendly and people were chatting away with servers in that small-town vibe. I'd never had Argentinian cuisine specifically, but it's very close to past experiences in other establishments. There were some minor differences, but only one of them was relatively unpleasant. I'll start with the pleasant aspects: The place looked nice, and the atmosphere was different in a good way. The hanging baskets from the ceiling were eye-catching and cute, and the servers were relaxed and friendly. Everything had that cozy vibe, especially when other tables started coming in and chatting with the staff. Items came out in decent time, and I enjoyed house sauces offered, along with the popcorny-puffed fried exterior of their empanadas. Flavors were plentiful, and the four I'd tried were delicious! Dulce de batata was my favorite, but I'd need to do more sampling to figure which one tastes the best in my opinion. Sangría was fruity, but the white wine was sweeter and more peachy than the passion fruit mix, which was more acidic and nicely balanced. I didn't get to try the red one, but I imagine it tastes punchy. Fries were saltless (but still good; I don't think I could've handled the sodium), and the Sizzle Sandwich balanced that out nicely with bacon, cheese, and runny fried egg inside. The one unpleasant detail came with that though: The strip of steak on the sandwich, that also made up the layers in the Buenos Aires. It was tough, seemingly cut with the grain instead of against, making the meat really hard to break when taking a bite of anything. My friend complained of the same characteristics, and I was a little disappointed. If it was more tender, flaky, and maybe seasoned similarly to the empanada beef, it would've been absolutely incredible. I don't know if that's just how the region typically cooks their steak, but it needs a little twist, and that's why it's lacking a star. Especially since the sandwich is named after the building, I would've wanted it to be the 10/10 choice and potential bestseller. Empanadas are going to be the thing calling me back here in the future though, hands down.

    @BigDudesBigFoods had a very filling meal at another amazing small business, @TheSizzleBBQ in #HackettstownNJ today. There is a multitude of delicious choices on the menu. Joe & I went with an #empanada assortment, a #cubansandwich and a #pulledpork burger with bacon and cheddar #SizzleBBQ is cool spot on the main drag in Hackettstown. They have a very friendly and informative crew who gave us a lot tasty meal ideas to try when we return. We will be back. #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #BDBFCertified #BDBF

    Not sure why it says closed and permanently closed as well on apple maps because they are open. We also called for reservation but when we got there they didnt even write our name down so when we walked in they were saying they didnt have anyone with that name. I went with my family. We ordered dulce de leche empanada, apple empanada, chicken milanese, kids corn, argentinian sizzle mix for two. I cant believe the sizzle mix was only for 2 because there was 4 of us and we were full from it. They had some seating in the front and a private seating in the back for larger groups. They had one stall bathrooms and the decor looks nice.

    This is a phenomenal little gem that I drove past daily in Hackettstown, NJ and never noticed. I'm newish to Morris County and still finding my way around. The food here is so beyond delicious... it just hugs my soul. Also I think is a cute place for a nice afternoon date. The service is awesome as well. Both days I was greeted with a big, warm, and friendly smile. I highly recommend The Sizzle BBQ not just for online ordering people. The weather is warming up finally and I say go and have brunch or lunch. My date and I will be back for dinner one evening and I'll be sure to post more pics. But until then definitely stop by... I promise you'll eat yourself into a food coma.

    Ouch. Small portioned tacos and a credit card usage fee.

    Had an opportunity to have lunch-with my wife- without the kids- during a weekday! Score! We came to the restaurant at 11:30 after reading other reviews that the dining room is smaller but Decorated nicely. We were seated immediately and at the time we were the only patrons in the dining room. Our waitress was pleasant and took our order. My ordered the lady in red salad and I initially ordered the tacos Al pastor but was told that they did not have that options so I opted for the shrimp tacos. We were offered bread that were slightly stale with three different types of spreads that were extremely flavorful. We were happy that we were at least seated and snacking on the stale bread because by noon the small dining room was full and we were still waiting on our entrees a half hour after placing our order. When we finally received our entrees my wife was pleased with her salad. She was especially happy that the strawberries were fresh. My shrimp taco were not flavorful. Although I did receive four taco the portion was EXTREMELY small. Each taco tortilla was the size of two silver dollars. For $18 it definitely was not worth it. The check came. We were surprised with the 3.99% credit card usage fee that was not disclosed until squaring away the bill.

    Full order of pork ribs Portuguese style - delish!
    Cat M.

    Very nice! Cute interior with lots of nick knacks & pleasantly decorated. Family-run business. Plenty of parking in the back. BYO which is a plus! We tasted a variety of the Portuguese food. Be aware that this type of BBQ is different than others that have sauce slathered on them. This BBQ is very good! Beef empanada's served with 3 different sauces - so delish - meat was so tender & juicy - definitely recommend! Pork ribs - large, meaty & cooked well - not spicy, but good flavor. Beef rib combo & chicken were delish - beef had a great flavoring on it with some salt - spot on! Enjoyed the rice & house salad as well. Definitely a place to check out!

    Avocado & coconut smoothie !!

    Family all decided to go for supper at The Sizzle BBQ... as we heard the food was great. Word of mouth was spot-on...The entrees , appetizers, smoothies, empanadas.. all FANTASTIC !!! Service was great... friendly and warm. Menu has LOTS to choose from! We all tried something different so we could get a taste of each type of meat... pork ribs! Pulled chicken!! Beef brisket!! So delicious!! You won't be disappointed going... Make sure to go with a good appetite if it's your first time ;) And definitely order a few empanadas ... so many to choose from!!

    Marta N.

    Cute little place! And the food was delicious. It was a little longer wait than we were quoted on the phone but we did place a pretty large order.

    Bread with 3 sauces comes to the table first, spicy mustard, chimichurri, and a tomato and onion based sauce.

    These are the best empanadas around hands down. The variety was great and the fillings were super fresh.

    Cake Fiction was the one vendor we used from a recommendations list our wedding venue gave to us. I…read moream SO glad we did. Their barn itself is also super cute, just going up for the cake tasting session was magical in itself. Picking just 3 flavors to sample from their list of cake combinations was so hard, which was a good thing! You are allowed to have a different flavor for each layer of cake at no additional cost, so we had fun with those. We picked the olive oil cake with passion fruit cream, the walnut almond pound cake with raspberry mousse, and the lemon cake with orange flower blossom cream. Well, my husband talks about that passion fruit cream more than any other part of our wedding (I try not to be too upset about that), it was that amazing! My favorite flavor was the raspberry mousse, and I keep hearing a ton of compliments on that flavor in particular from our guests. The only critique I would give to Cake Fiction is that they didn't give the venue a list of the flavors so nobody knew what each layer was and my husband and I had picked the flavors months before and couldn't remember either. I also appreciate how up-front Cake Fiction was with their pricing, which is listed online on their website to give you an idea of an estimate for your cake. We ended up going with a naked cake with just buttercream frosting on the outside which saved us a bit of money, and it looked so beautiful after our florist put a couple of flowers on it for us and it really fit in well with the theme of our barn venue. I made my own cake toppers out of clay and they were a little heavy so I was worried about them on top possibly sinking into the cake, but the cake was sturdy and the topper sat up there proudly! And finally, Paula is also the sweetest lady ever and you can tell she really has a passion for her work. It's lovely that we have such a great wedding cake baker in New Jersey. Now if only they would open a tiny bakery so that we can get two cupcakes with our flavors next year for our anniversary. :)

    I have been shopping at this store since 1988 and for last 5 years or so I dread going there…read more Daytime staff is uniformly awful. You ask a question and they don't even look up to acknowledge you. The deli is the worse with half hour waits because workers are elderly and extremely slow. Employees watching self-checkout are rude and obnoxious with not a clue how to do a rain check. Mgmt doesn't seem to care about any of this. I could go on forever about how customer service is nonexistent here. The one star is for evening employees who are very helpful and don't have an attitude problem.

    This ShopRite is my preferred supermarket in the area. I drive 20 minutes and bypass closer stores…read morein Morris, Hunterdon, and Warren counties because this location is always the first one I want to support. Their prices are reasonably competitive, and the shelves are consistently well stocked, which makes planning and shopping much easier. Is the layout counterintuitive? Absolutely. Is it annoying to have to use a quarter to get a cart? Definitely. But the staff more than make up for these quirks. The team is friendly and genuinely helpful across the board--the produce section, deli counter, fresh fish area, the kind cashiers, and especially the amazing butcher team. They seem happy to be here and happy to help, and that energy really comes through. The icing on the cake is the other shoppers. People are respectful with their carts, offer a smile as they pass, and do small, gracious things--like letting someone with two items go ahead of their overflowing cart. It all adds up to a place that simply feels good to shop in. As Maya Angelou said, "People will never forget how you made them feel," and that's exactly why I keep coming back to this store.
