Matthew's 1131 Bloomfield Ave, Clifton Italian • $$

“Matthew 's Restaurant is 1 of the best restaurants in North NJ if NOT The Best. The food is always Delicious & Service is excellent. Beyond that, the atmosphere or aviance is excellent. The vibe & energy is first rate positive fun & culinary enjoyment. I believe that this fine dining experience is also driven by the owner Matthew who is usually in the restaurant greeting guests & helping out. When you visit Matthew's you'll have a great time and it'll feel like you're on mini-vacation from the stress of every day life while seemingly enjoying the warmth of family. It may be a cliche but it's definitely true. 10 stars ⭐ out of 10.”

“We had a great dinner tonight at Happy Vegans. We were greeted warmly and offered a taste of their special dish kofta, which is a delicious mix of spices, tomato and bulgur. I had the happy vegan burger which was huge with three patties made from kofka, lettuce tomatoes and a large serving of fries. We were given mayonnaise and ketchup to dip the fries in. Baklava for dessert. I highly recommend this charming restaurant. Easy street parking.”

Dante's Restaurant 955 Valley Rd, Clifton Italian • $$

“Dante’s has truly transformed the old Alexis Steakhouse space with a modern, refreshing facelift and a fantastic menu to match. It’s the perfect spot for happy hour, a night out with family or friends, or even a business lunch. One of the standout features is their exclusive upstairs party room, which accommodates 75+ guests—ideal for baby showers, bridal showers, or business meetings. The space includes a flat-screen TV for presentations or party highlights, plus its own private bathroom and bar. Convenience is another plus: Dante’s offers plenty of parking and is located near all major highways (Rt. 46, Rt. 3, Parkway, Turnpike, and Rt. 80). The cozy bar area is great for catching a game, and their intimate lounge space comfortably seats up to 10 people with private wait service—perfect for small gatherings. I’ve enjoyed Dante’s for everything from meeting friends and business lunches to happy hours and private lounge get-togethers. The food never disappoints: the prime burger is massive and made with quality prime rib, the tuna tartare is fresh and loaded with avocado, and their homemade chips are addictive. The clams casino are packed with flavor, the steak sandwich features premium cuts, and the pear salad with grilled chicken is a delicious option if you’re looking for something lighter. Check it out—you won’t be disappointed!”

Everything else was just as good: the fried zucchini croquettes, calamari, feta puffs with sriracha honey, Greek salad, NY strip steak, and the grilled seafood platter with shrimp, calamari, and octopus. For dessert, the baklava was classic and perfect, and the Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts was incredible.

Smashburger 700 NJ-3, Clifton Hamburger • $

“Smashburger in Clifton offers a welcoming and lively dining experience. The atmosphere is vibrant, with plenty of TVs playing football games, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal while catching up on sports. The large mural of the New York City skyline adds a stylish and local touch that elevates the environment beyond a typical fast-casual setting.
The food is the highlight here. I ordered the Double Deluxe Smash, which was easily one of the best burgers I’ve had. The meat was juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The fries were equally impressive, crispy, crunchy, and well-seasoned. To top it off, I tried the new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Shake, which I can’t recommend enough. A thoughtful detail is that they serve the extra shake in a metal cup, so you get more than just what’s in your glass.
Service was also excellent. My food arrived in under five minutes, and the staff were both efficient and genuinely friendly, adding to the positive experience.
Smashburger Clifton combines great food, friendly service, and an enjoyable atmosphere to create a standout casual dining experience.”

It's Greek To Me 852 NJ-3 West, Clifton Greek • $$

“We had an excellent experience at It’s Greek To Me in Fort Lee. The food was outstanding from start to finish. One of the biggest surprises was the bean soup it’s not ordered often (according to our server), but it was absolutely delicious and something totally new for us. Everything else was just as good: the fried zucchini croquettes, calamari, feta puffs with sriracha honey, Greek salad, NY strip steak, and the grilled seafood platter with shrimp, calamari, and octopus. For dessert, the baklava was classic and perfect, and the Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts was incredible.
The service truly stood out. Benny took amazing care of us and made the entire experience even better attentive, kind, and professional. Parking is available, which is a huge plus in Fort Lee. We would 100% come back and highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Absolutely the best bagel there is. Each one no matter the flavor is a delight. And their food that they put on the bagel is delicious. Get there before 3;30 PM if you want sliced cheese because they close the slicer at 3;30. I know if I get there at 3;32 PM the slicer is off. So I get tuna fish instead and it’s about as good as it gets. The staff is friendly and do a good job. What a place!”

Smashburger 700 NJ-3, Clifton Hamburger • $

“Smashburger in Clifton offers a welcoming and lively dining experience. The atmosphere is vibrant, with plenty of TVs playing football games, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal while catching up on sports. The large mural of the New York City skyline adds a stylish and local touch that elevates the environment beyond a typical fast-casual setting.
The food is the highlight here. I ordered the Double Deluxe Smash, which was easily one of the best burgers I’ve had. The meat was juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The fries were equally impressive, crispy, crunchy, and well-seasoned. To top it off, I tried the new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Shake, which I can’t recommend enough. A thoughtful detail is that they serve the extra shake in a metal cup, so you get more than just what’s in your glass.
Service was also excellent. My food arrived in under five minutes, and the staff were both efficient and genuinely friendly, adding to the positive experience.
Smashburger Clifton combines great food, friendly service, and an enjoyable atmosphere to create a standout casual dining experience.”

The chopped cheese was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with fresh ingredients, all on a soft, toasted roll that held everything together beautifully. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The staff was friendly, the service was fast, and the vibe was on point. This is hands down one of the best chopped cheese spots around—I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!”
