I was in Edison, New Jersey with my wife and we decided to have a late lunch. So Google kosher food near me and a 10 minute drive and we arrived in Metuchen. There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant and meter parking in front as well. Cloth napkins and tablecloths was a very nice touch. There is a washing station in back between the restrooms. A quiet atmosphere and 1950s style music, ( Sinatra, Dean Martin), was playing. I had a burger with fries and my wife had 3 sliders...

Second time here and will be a weekly ritual while Adina does acting classes at Acting Out down the road. We got a “Definitely Must Try” from Adina. The burger and portions are huge, enough to have leftovers for the kids.

Flavorful food and highly recommended!

Absolutely incredible experience! The food was out of this world, especially the pastrami sandwich—it’s honestly the best I’ve ever had. The service was top-notch, with super friendly and attentive staff making the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!
