Comfort Food Restaurants near Kearny, NJ

“Ordered a couple dishes from here on door dash for the first time and I am impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, not one complaint about any of it. I didn’t know what to expect because the prices are so low and you just don’t see that anymore, the chicken combo was only $9. The portions are generous and even though some of it is deep fried NONE of it is greasy. Will definitely stop by next time to try more dishes.“

“This food truck on University Avenue in Gainesville, Florida was an amazing find. I learned they originally came from Jersey. I ordered the Fat Darrell fries along with mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, and marinara sauce , and everything was insanely delicious. If you're in the Gainesville downtown area, you definitely need to check them out. Their menu is huge and they even serve breakfast. A full five-star experience.“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“Hands down the best Ecuadorian restaurant in Newark for lunch and dinner! Large portions and great quality food. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming. I miss the previous owners will be missed but the current ones know what they're doing.“

“I went yesterday and I’ll never order the steak there again but I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone. I have heart failure and I got sick on the steak. So it’s my fault not theirs. I really enjoyed the steak, sweet bananas and salad. The portions were average, it filled me up. I’m glad I didn’t order the larger bowls, I’d be overstuffed. My friend did though. I usually don’t like well done steak but this one was very well prepared. My husband and my friends also enjoyed the food. 4 of us went. The lady behind the counter was wonderful and very helpful. The place was crazy crowded but civil. The atmosphere was great. I loved the artificial palm tree. Definitely going again but going for lower sodium options like chicken next time. 100% recommend.“

“The food was excellent. (Grilled sausage skillet and skillet pancake) The coffee was ok but I'm more of an espresso drinker so all the regular coffee seems a little weak. The waitresses were very nice and we didn't have a long wait despite getting there at the busy time (11ish am)

Edited to add - reheated the grilled sausage skillet leftovers about 6 hours later and they were still delish. Chef's kiss“

“I had the pleasure to eat at Konoz. It is a clean and neat restaurant. The owner is friendly and pleasant. I asked him what he recommended and I placed the order to eat inside. The meat was tender and tasty, the salad was a good portion and trifongo was delicious. I chatted briefly with the owner. It’s a place I would go again when in the area.“

“Had a lovely dining experience at Beefbar. We started with the crispy rice tuna tartare: tuna had a soft texture and was full of flavor. We shared a 10oz wagyu filet, wagyu bolognese, and truffle fries. Everything was delicious! Steak had a nice char, was tender, and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Pappardelle deserves a chefs kiss!!“

“first time here very impressed the food was too perfection will be back with more people“

“Skinflnts is a pillar of the Bay Ridge neighborhood. Great food & service. The decorations for the holidays are amazing. The manager Freddie is very helpful.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“The best ☝️☝️☝️“

“Based on my experience there, I loved it but I’m hesitant to give five stars cause I only had the ribeye cheesesteak which may be one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had out in NJ in all seriousness. Felt a little pricey but so does everything else these days. Even then, the cheesesteak was worth every cent. Highly recommended.“

“Our experience eating here was thoroughly enjoyable. We liked what we ordered though we've had better elsewhere. I found the experience outstanding. The entire workforce shows impressive capability. I'm ready to return at the first opportunity.“

“Great gyros. I love the place.“

“Chicken was delicious and facility clean“

“Just a nice chill place with great food“

“My fiance and I went here for the first time this past weekend and loved it! We loved the oldies style vibe, decor and music. The food was very good, decently priced, and our waitress, Denise, was awesome! We will definitely be back!“

“Loved my tea and rice ball“

“Took my parents here for Mothers Day and had arranged to meet my brother in law and his wife for lunch. We had 1 PM tickets to the Whitney across the street so we there at 11 when it opened and waited about 10 minutes for my BIL. Sitting outside not in the tent felt like NYC, the noises, the people, smells were typical New York. The food was great too.“

“The owner or guy at the front was a pleasure to meet and clearly understands the benefit of eye contact and customer service. I ordered the cheese steak. The sandwich itself was juicy, flavorful and nice sized for the price. My issue is I wish they would wrap the sandwich in parchment paper cut in half and then wrap in the foil wrapper. The sandwich is juicy but sloppy and drips everywhere. If it were wrapped better you could enjoy the sandwich like a gentleman. Enjoyed overall and on another note I give this brother big respect. He employs all black men. And as one I love seeing that. Respect brother!“

“We booked for a special occasion and everything was excellent. we loved it! They made our family moment a valuable one, I loved the food, service and also how beautiful and elegant the restaurant is. Super like!“

“Wanted to try the empanadas from here, I got chicken & cheese and got my husband the beef empanada liked his way more because I wish I knew the CC empanada had more peppers than chicken & cheese 🤢 I never had a chicken empanada with peppers. But will just get beef or plain cheese next time !“

“Dishes are not consistent. My meatloaf was burned so badly they put a lot of BBQ sauce on it to cover it up. This was done despite the fact that I requested no sauce. Next time I requested one blackened whiting dish and was given fried whiting.“
