“We haven't been in a couple of years. We had our daughter's wedding at the Hilton in 2022 and the food was always excellent. We especially remember one of their signature dishes , the short ribs. I don't know if it was a bad night, they changed the recipe or changed the chef, but it was nothing like we remembered. Too bad, very disappointing.“

“Enjoyed our dinner there on Sat evening. We were seated in the ballroom as we were there to see a band. Tables were socially distanced, room was nicely appointed, very clean! Loved my Mozzarella Caprese appetizer and my salmon dinner. Drinks were really good and the staff was super attentive and friendly. Masks were worn the right way too!! Great venue!!“

“Hidden Gem with Amazing Flavors and Generous Portions

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Though it might be easy to overlook because of the location, it’s absolutely worth finding parking for, even if you’re coming from a bit further away. The portion sizes are huge for the price—this delicious meal was only $15, and the flavor is out of this world. The meat was so tender, it literally fell apart, and every bite just kept getting better. You can taste the love and care in every dish. It’s one of those spots that may not be packed yet, but once people discover it, I’m sure it’ll be the next go-to. Do yourself a favor and check it out!“

“Great chicken slices and fair prices 👌“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“Thank you to Kiara, Tommy, and staff. Tommy's sponsored/catered the food at our Tricky Tray this past weekend as well as last year! RAVE REVIEWS!!! Everyone LOVED the food! Everything was delish, fresh, and hot! We can't thank you enough!!!!“

“What a wonderful experience we had at Seasons52 Paramus. We had some of the most delicious food that I can remember. Firstly, our servers Tlijah & Jennifer were so professional in every possible way. They truly set the stage for a great dinning experience. We were fortunate to meet Sandra the manager who was equally cordial and professional in every way possible. Our experience was just that good. I would not hesitate to recommend this fine location. My wife and I will be loyal customers. Try this location once, you will not be disappointed. Barry“

“No table service. Yummy kosher meat items. Steak, chili, fries, smoked meat. Wonderful. Was enjoying eating so much didn't feel like taking pictures.
Special mention that the candied Beef Jerky Appetizer is amazing. The French fries are awesome. The chili rocks and the steak was wonderful.“

“We just ate there for the first time at the Warren location. We were surprised how busy they were on a Sunday since they are near an office complex. I had a burger, onion rings and a chocolate milk shake. All 3 were delicious. My husband had the hot pastrami and French fries. Both were excellent. We highly recommend.“

“The food is very good. I love the appetizers and the Greek salad! When there’s music, the bands are great. The staff is very friendly and helpful.“
