    Dogs with mustard and kraut.

    Great stop for fried hot dogs. Also has a concession stand at the Mahwah pool. Parking at both locations.

    Took my daughter and sister here for lunch today. The food was great and the location perfect for any train lover. We ate outside on the picnic benches and my daughter loved playing with the new wooden kids train. We stayed for 30 minutes, but could have lasted another half hour if it wasn't nap time! Lunch was an excellent deal! $19 for a BLT, Crispy chicken salad, kids meal and two drinks. We will be back in the summer to try the ice cream!

    This is a great little shop right by the waldwick train station. Who doesn't love homemade ice cream...trick question...everyone does. Tye Waldwick Whistle Stop is the only NJ shop that carries Nelsons ice cream made in Pennsylvania Dutch country. They have both hard and soft serve and both are delicious. I had the espresso explosion, creamy, delectable, and had tons of chocolate covered espresso beans in it. You can really taste the love, and feel it to because the owners are very friendly. I will be back since they change flavors every week.

    Great food, ice cream, service!

    Great breakfast sandwiches and more than enough for your money! We had The "Engineer" and the "Conductor"....both delicious! While we were there for breakfast, we couldn't leave without trying the ice cream! Pumpkin, Death by chocolate, and Graham Slam were all big hits! What made the experience even better was high nice and friendly the owners were! Thanks so much for adding to our New Jersey visit!

    Dirty and terrible food. A real dump! May have been cute 10 years ago but now in disrepair!

I decided to order their basic breakfast plate because I really wanted just like scrambled eggs and to get a feel of what they kind of have to offer before I get anything else. The scrambled eggs were probably some of the best eggs I've had in a very long time.They were perfectly soft scrambled. I really liked the potatoes that it came with, the side salad, roasted tomato and I ordered an extra side of sausage too Everything was delicious. I really enjoyed it but halfway through my meal. I did notice there was a hair in my salad haha I know this is a big deal breaker for a lot of people because it is very off-putting. But here's the thing, your hair falling off your head is 100% common.And as much as I am sure they are trying to prevent it an accident can happen.So I can overlook it this time. Especially since the food was yummy. I also did not say anything to my server, and I paid my bill and tipped. I wasn't looking for a sorry or a few meal. Mistakes happen, hopefully this was a one time thing because I want to go back lol

My love and I found ourselves in the area and wanted to grab a light lunch before going about our afternon. We arrived around 12:30 PMand we still had a 25 minute wait. Clearly, they're doing something right! The atmosphere is bright and inviting. This is a place you can hit up for a quick lunch or linger over a nice glass of wine. Shishito Peppers to start. Ample portion size and perfectly salted. Brussels Bowl for me (quinoa, grilled chicken, crispy Brussels sprouts, pickled red onions, and lemon parmesan dressing) and Turkey Panini for him (roasted turkey, applewood smoked bacon, butter lettuce, tomato, red onion, basil tarragon aioli, and rosemary focaccia). We loved our choices. We were clean-plate club members during this lunch! We love that they have truly fresh-squeezed orange juice. You can't go back to drinking Tropicana after this! Ample parking in the strip mall. We'd return!

    Always nice to visit a small, cozy, hometown Cafe with various egg dishes, pancakes, waffles,…read morequiche, sandwiches, soups, and pastries (scones are excellent). You'll have a leisurely experience. The food overall is pretty good, and portions are regular sized, not large. I enjoyed the loaded eggs with potatoes and the huevos rancheros. We didn't like the eggs with corned beef hash, which consisted of rather large ham chunks. The orange and plain scones were crumbly and yummy. Now that they offer online reservations, I'm more inclined to visit because otherwise you risk showing up and having to wait (or leaving) because it's a small space. There's outdoor and indoor seating.

    Finally was able to come and try this adorable brunch spot in Waldwick. My biggest complaint would…read morebe how difficult finding parking is because it's all street parking without lines. So one person parks wrong and it messes up the whole row. There is the option to park in the cvs parking lot but it is frowned upon. You can dine inside our outside under their awning which is lovely in nice weather. We opted to sit inside. The tables on the side we sat were definitely tight and close together. The food was phenomenal. I order the brioche French toast with home fries and two eggs over easy. Happy because they use real maple syrup at this spot. My home fries I asked to be well done and crunchy but they came out a bit mushy but still edible. My friend ordered their weekly special of a pumpkin spice waffle and she said it was delicious. Their coffee was average. Nothing special. The only thing I couldn't figure out was my brioche French toast or the syrup tasted like amaretto which wasn't that big of an issue I would've just liked to know it was flavored. Service was good as it was crazy busy but we still felt well taken care of. I look forward to my next meal here.

    My experience at First Watch was a complete failure in both service and management…read more We were a party of 7, seated at 12:00 and ordered by 12:15. Most meals came out around 12:30, but one gluten-free order was completely mishandled. One person in our group did not receive their food with the rest of us. We waited over 20 minutes while everyone else ate, and by the time we were finishing, he had only been given a small side of eggs, his main dish (gluten-free French toast) still had not arrived. We asked staff multiple times, politely, and were consistently dismissed. No eye contact, no updates, no urgency. Our server was absent for long periods (10-15 minutes at a time), drinks were empty, and no one took responsibility for fixing the issue. By 1:10 PM, over an hour after being seated, the full order still hadn't come out. At that point, we had no choice but to ask for it to be wrapped to go, since the rest of us had already finished eating. The most concerning part was the manager's response. After calmly explaining the situation, there was no apology, no attempt to correct the experience, and no effort to take accountability. Saying "I'll talk to your server" and leaving it at that is not an acceptable response to a clear service breakdown. This wasn't just a delay, it was a complete lack of coordination, communication, and basic customer service. Mishandling a gluten-free order and then ignoring the table is unacceptable. The food itself was good, but the way this was handled reflects very poorly on the staff and management. I will not be returning, and I would not recommend this location based on this experience.
