50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ho Ho Kus

“My son was recently diagnosed with EOE and is dairy, nut and egg free. Someone recommended AltEats so I contacted Laurie and she worked her magic! My son was able to enjoy an amazingly delicious birthday cake for the first time! She also created the most delicious cannoli filled cake for my guests! I can’t say enough about how easy Laurie was to work with and how lucky I feel blessed I feel to have found this establishment!“

“Excellent food, in a casual setting.“

“We visited this spot specifically for the pastrami, and it did not disappoint. It has a milder flavor compared to Katz's, which I actually prefer since it allowed me to finish the whole sandwich in one go. Katz's meat is so intensely flavorful that I usually need to take a break and cleanse my palate before I can finish later. This place is a fantastic alternative if you're in Jersey. The prices are reasonable, and the 8 oz option is perfect for satisfying your craving without breaking the bank. The Knish and macaroni salad were delicious as well. They give you delicious pickles. We’ll definitely be returning often. Update January 2026. Stopped by for some pastrami sandwiches. They are still delicious and worth every penny. Hot dog special this week, $2.00. They were flavorful with an awesome snap.“

“The best macaroons. The crème brûlée and Ferrero rocher were my favs!“

“Nam's Sushi is quite simply the best! Sherry is a great lady! I go there at least once or twice a week! The food is excellent. If you want some great sushi, please go to Nam's Sushi! The food is incredible and the people who work there are so friendly! I love Nam's so much!“

“The best pizza in Bergen County!“

“Best coffee around, completely blows Starbucks out of the water. Ditch Starbucks and Dunkin, come here instead!“

“One of the best empanada I’ve had!! SO good - great little lunch spot around town“

“Amazing coffee and great service!“

“Very cozy and sweet cafe! Reminds of the Europe Style coffee spots that is hard to find in the US. The service is exceptional and the 2 people that work there that i assume are owners are incredibly sweet and provide an exceptional service as always. Their coffee taste amazing and their cups, and serving plates are very luxury looking. I always take a time to drive here and recommend for everyone to come and check this place out.“

“The food is excellent and the Bubble teas are a wonderful treat!!“

“Everything is good, it's just a little hot/humid but I don't really think that's their fault.“

“Fantastic, such a convenient place with great late night hours!“

“Just had the Monday thru Friday lunch special and added feta to my salad. With a soda it was just under $20. Absolutely delicious.“

“Everything was awesome—great food, perfect service, and an owner who truly makes you feel welcome. One of the best spots in Wayne, NJ. Smash burgers, pizza, and fries were all on point, especially the smash burgers. Amazing value for the price“

“Went with wife and father. Wife had the Golden Cloud cold coffee was outstanding. I had the latte the flavor and temperature were perfect. My father had the Americano he said it was really good. My father and I had the Madeline which was excellent. The server was really efficient and friendly. The place is immaculately clean. If you want a relaxed place to drink coffee, this is a great place!
Highly recommend.“

“very fast customer service“

“Our meal was DELICIOUS! Scallop appetizer followed by entrees of halibut, bronzino and orata. Wonderful service made for a beautiful evening“

“After recommending this place to my coworkers, they all agree with me, this is a top tier lunch option. The chicken parm heroes here are both hefty and delicious, bread toasted right as well. The hot honey pizza is also a great option I haven’t come across before, personally. Give it a try!“

“Allendale Mediterranean Grill is a great addition to our neighborhood. AJ and his team cook for you like they are cooking for their own family. Everything is always fresh and delicious. 10/10 recommend“

“My only complaint is that the lone worker today, when I was paying with a credit card (without tap) took my card and tried to use tap. Before she took my card I was going to put it into the card processor. When I pointed out that it doesn’t have tap, she (2x’s) typed my card information into the register screen and it was declined (plenty of credit was available because I got gas with it shortly after). I then used my debit card which she just took from me and again tried to use tap (again not a feature on that card either). She was finally able to put my card information for the debit card and it went through. If she had let me put my card in in the first place there would have been no problem with the original transaction attempt. I feel some of the staff might need better/more training on using the register.“

“Such amazing coffee and the food looked really good. Will def return“

“The food was easily the best Arab food I’ve had. Ever. The owners were super nice and actually invited us to sit instead of take out, and we got complimentary toum (also best toum I’ve ever had), peppers, pickles, and some sort of Arab bread. The bread was nice and crackly and there was a LOT of it. The toum, unlike other Arab places with toum, was actually light and had that whipped texture that is desired. The garlic flavor was on point and not too overpowering. The star of the show was easily the crispy chicken shawarma, though. It looks small in some videos, but it was wider than my mouth. I had to do some talking to find out myself, but to get the fries, toum, and pickles next to the shawarma, you need to ask for the crispy chicken shawarma combo. It was super crispy, and the breading was very nicely toasted. I kept finding myself layering the top with some pickles, fries, and more toum. They also drizzled some pomegranate molasses on the chicken shawarma, which gave it a tangy but also fruity aftertaste. We also ordered the charcoal chicken and kebab. The kebab, instead of normal beef on a stick, actually came with some yellow rice and some REALLY GOOD spicy seasoned bread that was very soft and moist on some parts and crispy on the others. You could literally see the spice particles on it. The charcoal chicken was juicy, tender, and had that charcoal roasted flavoring. It even came with a bunch of complimentary fries. The fries on both the shawarma and the charcoal chicken was nicely battered, and the shawarma fries were very well seasoned. The only thing is that the bathroom is through a door that leads upstairs, and you have to open two doors. If you’re someone like me and don’t like the feeling of putting grip on things with sticky stuff on your hands, you won’t like that. It’s one of those turn knobs. Finally, the music made me feel like I was actually back in Abu Dhabi watching fire shows while eating falafel. Please visit, they are amazing people who make amazing food!“

“We pulled off the highway for a coffee and stumbled upon this gem. The pastry menu is filled with unique items and great flavor combinations. I had the ube pan de sal and the Kashmir cardamom latte with oat milk. I absolutely love both! The location seemed surprising at first, it’s located in a larger office complex, but inside it feels comfortable with warm lighting and plenty of seating. They also sell records and prepared wraps and desserts. Check it out if you’re in the area! I will be sure to stop by next time I’m passing through.“

“Crystal was an amazing server. Was efficient and engaging. I enjoy having servers like Crystal because they create a great dinning experience.“

“This small business is just wonderful. The food is delicious, the bagels and sandwiches are so fresh and tasty and the bagels are large. I purchased here a few times via the TGTG app and purchased bagels and their delicious home made assorted flavor cream cheeses. Additionally, the owner Ernesto and his wife are so genuine, customer service focused and take pride in the products/service they provide to their clients and community. I definitely recommend this bagel shop and more as one of the BEST in NJ and I drive 7 miles from Maywood,NJ to support them while purchasing their outstanding products!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great cappuccino and cheesecake. Off the beaten path.“

“Wonderful owners make amazing Thai food. I have been to many in the area. This was hands down the best.“

“First time I had Indian food was a few years ago in NC, and I was NOT impressed. We were up visiting my sister in Ridgewood and we went out for fathers day dinner at Tabla. We ordered a bunch of different appetizers and entrees and we shared them all. I was absolutely impressed. I totally enjoyed EVERY item. I especially liked the curry fish with coconut milk. The service was exceptional and very friendly, it was an entirely enjoyable experience. I heartily recommend this Indian Restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ.“

“Got invited to a #yelp event. I said pizza. I’m in. This place is kind of hidden but well worth it. Many pizza slices available. Soon as you walked in and smell the greatness you are going to have. The had sandwiches as well. I decided to get the Popeye slice (spinach & ricotta) and a prosciutto slice. Oh my goodness was amazing!! They had about 10 flavors of gelato to pick from as well. I got a scoop of the pistachio & a scoop of fruity pebbles. I was told by the owners daughter who was at register (very polite & friendly) they make them in house. I had to drive little of 30 min to get there. If you’re in the area stop by or if you like me take a ride. You won’t be sorry. There’s a fountain outside where you or the kids can cool off. Very clean inside. Well maintained inside as well. Thank you again… decided to buy extra to bring home as well. @yelpnorthjersey #yelpnorthjersey SQ Pizza @yelpnewjersey @sq_pizza_co“

“PJ Sushi has been one of my go-to sushi spots in Fort Lee for years. I’ve ordered takeout many times and have also dined in, and the experience is always great. The owners who work there are super chill, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the place feel like a true neighborhood spot.

The sushi is fresh, tasty, and very decent for the price. The portions are generous and it’s hard to find this level of quality and value these days. Whether you’re grabbing a quick to-go order or sitting down for a meal, PJ Sushi never disappoints.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for good sushi without breaking the bank!“

“I’ve lived in Mahwah 7 years and stopped in first time yesterday (only bc I’m really not an ice cream fan!) and was so impressed! Delish! Reminds me of the beach and the old Dairy Queen’s with much better ice cream! Staff is super friendly too which is always a plus!“

“Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The service was absolutely excellent. The decoration and ambiance were beautiful, creating such a warm and stylish atmosphere. I also really appreciated how accommodating they were with customizing vegan options. If you’re looking for vegan options, I definitely recommend calling ahead and asking so they can prepare something for you in advance. It’s not always easy to find places willing to do that, and they made it effortless and delicious. And for all chocolate lovers, dark hot chocolate is an absolute must have! Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, amazing service, and a lovely dining experience!“

“Their Italian dishes are superb.“

“I love this place for my morning smoothies and afternoon lunch but so sad that the opening time changed to 9am and now I don’t have time to pick up breakfast 🥲 hopefully in the future it will change purple reign smoothie and tuna verse sandwich is my fav combo“

“I was there for the first time a few weeks ago. Was so impressed! The vanilla soft serve actually had flavor. Most places I make them put a ton of toppings on just so it has some flavor. Also, the medium was so large my two nieces that normally want larges could barely finish it. So you definitely get your moneys worth. My only question is I want to bring a friend who’s allergic to eggs. I called the shop and they said they didn’t know if there was eggs in the ice cream (If it wasn’t for my friend, I would never know that many places like Carvel does use eggs to make it more creamier). So do you use eggs in your soft serve?“

“I was renovating my house over the summer and my kitchen was out of commission for four months. We ate lunch here practically the entire time. I NEVER had a bad dish! The staff is friendly, the place is clean and the food is AMAZING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and big portions. The chicken and gyro are always on point, and the white sauce is amazing. The manager gave really good service and made the experience even better. Super fast overall and solid prices. Definitely a go-to spot when you want something tasty and filling.“

“It truly feels like a stroke of luck to be able to enjoy this kind of flavor and price here in Bergen County.
The taste is on par with Manhattan, the prices are like those in South Jersey(?), and it has the authentic flavor you’d find in Japan.
The restaurant may be small, but it’s clean, plays great music(that perfectly suits my taste😆) , and offers warm, friendly service — everything is just perfect.

I especially love the Karaage, onsen tamago-soft tofu, mango salsa salmon—-their appetizers, hamba-gu curry, and garden vegetable curry. But everything else is also absolutely delicious. Oh, and I must not forget to mention their amazing Don-Jiru(pork and vegetable miso soup) that comes with the curry. 👍“

“They will be closing Thanksgiving weekend“

“One of the best einspanners in Bergen County! Theres always a few people doing work or having conversations. The staff is friendly. If you’re looking for minimalistic and aesthetic vibe this is the place.

For someone with a sweet tooth, I enjoy the Lotus Biscoff Latte and Matcha einspanner ☺“

“Delicious food prepared with such love and care. You will enjoy every morsel😁“

“Today we stopped by GiGi’s Cafe and had the Greek Toast and an Americano, while my wife enjoyed the Classic Toast and an Americano. Everything was absolutely delicious.

The cafe itself is beautifully decorated with flowers, creating such a warm and peaceful atmosphere. We also had the privilege of hearing the owner’s family story. Although it began with sadness, they chose hope, love, and resilience, turning it into something truly beautiful and inspiring.

As their sign says, “You come in as a guest, but you leave as family.” That’s exactly how we felt. We walked in as customers, but we left feeling like family.

Thank you for the wonderful food, the beautiful space, and most of all, your inspiring story. We can’t wait to come back. - Peter and Julie“

“awesome food friendly owner“

“The ambience the Staff the location and all that goes with Hackensack Brewery I will tell everyone to SUPPORT this establishment see u guys soon“

“Really good Mexican restaurant. Possibly the best I’ve had in the area. The chicken quesadilla was packed with flavor, made with quality ingredients, and very filling. The homemade chips and guacamole were delicious and freshly made.

I can’t believe I waited so long to try this place. This will definitely be our regular Mexican spot from now on. Must visit.“

“Amazing food, amazing people! The owners make you feel right at home, and every dish tastes fresh and authentic. The mole was outstanding, and the homemade desserts were perfection. Beautiful decor and a great atmosphere — can’t recommend this place enough!“

“So much loved served at this wholesome,friendly restaurant. Warm and delicious food and service!!!“

“The #1 and the Chicken, Eggplant, or Meatball Parmigiana Sandwiches are literally perfect on every level. Expertly sliced, sized and also very fairly priced. The Daily Homemade soups are great as are the Daily Specials. If I lived closer I'd eat lunch here daily. Cash $$ only.“
