“Jack's Surf & Turf in Montclair, NJ, is our absolute favorite spot! This hidden gem in Montclair is a must-visit. Over the years, we've celebrated countless Girls' night-out birthdays here, and it never disappoints. From the moment you arrive until the time you leave, every detail is perfect. Greg, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and attentive; he treats us like family. Keeps our wine glasses full, and ensures we feel valued while also attending to other valued guests. The vibe is truly inviting, fabulous, super amazing & memorable! The menu offers a wonderful, wide variety of fresh and expertly cooked seafood, seafood boils, grilled steaks, salads, soups, OMG lobster mac & cheese, burgers, tacos, and scrumptious desserts! Everything is delicious, and the prices are more than reasonable, outstanding value! Highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends. You can BYOB; however, their wine selection is impressive as well. Generous portions, secure parking, and impeccably clean restrooms. Servers are always friendly and accommodating, happily fulfilling special requests. Nice music and occasional live entertainment enhance the experience. The Millburn, NJ, location is equally fantastic! We always start with our favorite Arugula salad - generous portions. House salad, also incredible! We adore Garlic Old Bay Shrimp appetizers, fried calamari, crab cakes, BUTTERY lobster rolls, OMG!. For our entrées, we couldn't resist going all in! Seafood Linguine in Garlic Sauce, steamed clams, mussels, grilled salmon, and lobster tails with crabmeat stuffing (seasonal). If you don't see something on the menu that piques your interest, just ask your server if they can prepare it for you. What impresses me most is Greg's attention to detail, passion, and creativity in delivering exceptional, high-quality food, ensuring each guest feels welcome and appreciated. I promise you won’t be disappointed, spotlessly clean, superior food, and exceptionally friendly customer-centric service! We've been to Jack's many times, and we'll keep coming back! Carla Wright”

“Came for my birthday -first time there-everything was awesome -stuffed zucchini flowers, caprese salad . soft plolenta w/short rib ragu and pistascio gelato-soooo good, can't wait to return.”

“The best burger of my life. Don't pass up the corn bread!”

“Should be best best restaurants list in NJ!”

“Delicious crepe and latte! Wonderful staff. Would definitely return to try some Turkish treats.”

“This place is excellent. I bought my friend from Japan with his family and was happy to take them to Cornbread for some authentic soul food. Needless to say my friend and his family loved the experience. They were finishing a road trip throughout the US and they thought the food at Cornbread was some of the best they had in their month long journery. The turkey wings were particularly good and I'm saying this as a person who is mostly vegetarian. Service was also excellent with attentive help and the servers were conversational and friendly with my friends and I. Bathrooms were also very clean. I wholeheartedly recommend Cornbread Montclair as a solid business and a great place for delicious Soul Food.”

“Awesome place. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent experience the service is warm friendly and the dishes are visually appealing and delicious. Vegetarian options as well!! Chefs specials new each month too! For authentic eats order or dine in!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Parking available”

“We dined at Faubourg to celebrate an anniversary. They've done a beautiful job with the decor, and the meal and service was fantastic. However, I cannot say the same for the music selection. The choice to play heavy rock at a volume level that made it hard to hear a conversation was incongruous with my expectation of an elegant night out. It was the regretful focus of our evening.”

“Awesome experience. The location, staff, food, and drinks were exactly what we were looking for. It was our first time in town for a show, and we expected it to be overwhelming. Not at all. This staff knows what they're doing. Excellent night out. The environment is perfect for everyone. Outside dining. Plenty of parking. This will be our spot.”

“Exceptional indoor modern Indian dining experience. The team is very professional and helpful in picking menu items you will love. This is what we ordered and we will be back soon for more! Appetizers: Lasuni Gobi Chicken Khurchan Khyber Pickled Mushrooms Mango Tulsi Prawns Main Course: Methi Paneer Malai Toast Garlic Shrimp Bhuna Dal Bukhara Pandara Road Wala Butter Chicken Garlic Naan Thanks Arnav and your team for a fun and delicious experience 🇮🇳🥘🍚🤩”

“Seasonal dishes fresh and beautifully presented! Friendly and helpful team with excellent dish recommendations :)”

“Service, Pizza and Tiramisu was excellent!!!!!🩷”

“Really fantastic local cafe. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the design and making it welcoming to casual visitors as well as people searching for a refuge to get some work done. I also like that it's a pure coffee shop. Some baked goods but a pure experience that focuses on atmosphere and quality.”

“The pastrami is really good”

“Very fun social vibe, special Birthday ritual, food was excellent, I practically licked my plate, service was attentive and the manager very active.”

“We enjoyed a gorgeous dinner at La Rocca Osteria, on the corner of Midland Avenue and Portland Place (a block south-east of Valley Road and a block north-east of Bloomfield Avenue), this week. The food was brilliant - fresh, flavorful and great portion sizes. I was thrilled with my choices of the buratta salad, crabmeat-stuffed lobster tail with mashed potatoes and a chocolate mousse cake. My fella demolished the mussels and clams in a white wine and garlic sauce, lasagne (he thought it was so delicious that he even bought a second portion to give to his dad) and cheesecake. I almost wish I’d taken photographs, but I was more interested in the experience than documenting it. The service was fantastic as well - friendly, calm, organized and reliable. Parking nearby wasn’t difficult either. It’s the second time we’ve eaten there; the first was on our first date. It was just as lovely then too.”

“Everything was perfect! The owner is such a nice guy. We were a party of six with many hard to please eaters. Very flavorful and fresh! Everyone enjoyed their main dishes and the sides! Highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Today was our 4th time visiting Samba. The food is consistently great! the service is top-notch. They have a very friendly staff. The atmosphere is old-school Brazilian and very comfortable. I highly recommend Samba, especially if you like gluten-free cuisine.”

“Delicious food and exceptional service. I fell in love with the salads, and the truffle pasta and pizza. Highly recommend visiting with family and friends especially as it’s in a central location of Montclair.”

“One of my favorite spots in Montclair. It never fails to amaze me from start to finish.”

“Had dinner there for the second time on Saturday night! It was very memorable. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the eggplant with the Barata for an appetizer. It was so delicious and so tasty and my main course was the homemade linguine with lump crab and corn. We also got the meatball which was spectacular and then I got the cheesecake dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever eaten. I absolutely love love love this place. Can’t wait to go back and eat there again.”

“My husband and I dined here for a day-after Valentine's celebration. Our 7:00 reservation allowed us to be seated right away. The playlist was stellar. It was all the music I grew up listening to as a kid, and it made me feel at home. McKenzie was our server and she was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. The menu has so many great choices, but the specials shouldn't be slept on either! Here's what we had: Appetizers: -Brussels sprouts salad with sliced apple, marinated feta, roasted squash, candied pecans, quinoa and tossed in a vinaigrette - Kabocha squash ravioli in a braised beef and peanut ragu, crispy eggplant and a peanut-green bean crumble. Entrées: -Flat iron steak in a mustard-sherry au poive sauce, carmelized onions, and potato churritos -Fresh cavatelli in an escargot sauce, shelled escargot, topped with a parsley butter crumb - Side of sautéed wild mushrooms with sage and citrus Dessert: -Orange and cardamom olive oil cake, assorted coffee and tea. The food was stunning. Every bite was a hit and truly made with love. Such thoughtful flavor combinations and interesting applications, all the while cooked perfectly. We had the opportunity to speak with Beverly, and we learned so much about her passions for the industry and the pride she has for the products she creates. We will certainly be back again and again!”

“Jackie's Grillette is by Far one of the BEST Places to Eat in NJ or Anywhere Actually..!! Been eating in the Montclair location for like 20 years by now and the Little Falls Location is just as Great!! It's a Family Owned & Run Business that i can not Recommend Enough!!! From Mediterranean to a Good old fashioned Ruben Sandwich, from Breakfast All Day to a Steak for dinner with a Smoothie or Protein shake Jackie's has it ALL..!!! Yum Yum Go Try it..!!

“Was going thru Grubhub for wings and came across this place. I said how bad can it be. Wow I was surprised and disappointed. Disappointed that they didn’t have popcorn chicken but substituted for wings. They were amazing .not greasy at all. Very impressed. Will definitely go again. Tried the potato dog as well … very interesting, very good…”

“Going to the Hot Tuna concert last night at the Wellmont with my son and stopped in for pizza before the show. The pizza was out of this world! Great crust, toppings were all quality and the staff was great. The owner Joe was friendly and place was going.”

“Yummy Spicy Shrimp Pasta. I love it every time I come here :)”

“This is the best sushi restaurant around, amazing charm, wonderful staff and service, food very reasonable and tasteful. This is a staple in the community thank you.”

“very clean, easy flow for checkout”

“We chose Montclair, NJ as a midway point to meet up with our daughter’s boyfriend’s family for an early Sunday night dinner. And got so lucky finding Boschetto! What a perfect spot! The food was delicious with so many great gourmet options, including vegetarian varieties. We loved the concept of ordering and paying as we dine, and the leisurely pace of the meal and byob was perfect. The vibe was great, restaurant was modern and clean-and the owner and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Such an amazing find- Boschetto is our new go- to meeting place. We can’t wait to return and try more from their eclectic menu.”

“Very fun social vibe, special Birthday ritual, food was excellent, I practically licked my plate, service was attentive and the manager very active.”

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.”

“We ate in complete silence. The food was that good.


- The chicken was so moist and packed so much flavor. Even the breast was super moist.
- The green sauce that they gave with the chips was also a hit. We went through two batches of it in one sitting, lol
- The salad and dressing were balanced, simple, and fresh.
- The salchipapa (fries with sausage and dressing) was one of our favorite dishes. Really simple with punchy flavor. Fries were nice and crispy despite being loaded with stuff.
- We had a purple corn beverage that was also so tasty


- Our server was so sweet and friendly!


- Humble, colorful, friendly atmosphere
- The only reason I subtracted 1 star was because the photos on the menu were digitally staged, making them hard to read

If you’re a fan of roast chicken, I highly recommend everyone try this place!”

“Best dive bar and best burgers”

“Absolutely love this place! I’ve been going for about 4 years now and I love the food! Anytime we have guests visiting I always take them here for a unique experience!”

“omg the food is excellent and most of all fresh will be back ♡”

“Received the most amazing surprise birthday cake from SJ! It was as delicious as it was beautiful! This is our third time ordering from SJ, and each time it has been better than the last! I cannot recommend using them for any baked needs you have! We have gotten the chocolate cake with Oreo filling twice and there’s never any cake left! Everyone loves it! Thank you so so much SJ for helping make my birthday magical! See comments for pic of the cake ☺️”

“Quality of food is outstanding & FRESH ! The price is just right! Love this place!!!!”

“No food BUT pastries and coffees? ALWAYS immaculate. Super friendly staff, no matter the time of day.
Art installations on the main wall are always nice to look over while enjoying some writing and chatting inside.
Dog treats at the door as well! Thanks guys for all the joy you bring to Montclair and the surrounding towns!”

“Wish had menu or weekly display of what available during week or daily”

“Delicious and fresh food- full of flavor, lots of veggie options, great baked goods.”

“My wife and I were shopping in Montclair and stopped for breakfast at the Bluestone Coffee Company. Bluestone is a coffee cafe and coffee roaster serving breakfast and lunch items. The atmosphere is cozy and warm and their coffee robust. We selected breakfast options of a veggie omelette with cheddar cheese and the zucchini parmesan frittata. Both came with a choice of toast and roasted potatoes. Both were fresh and savory and the potatoes roasted perfectly. Staff was friendly and prices were moderate and fair. Bluestone is a very good choice for breakfast and lunch.”

“Had the tasty falafel waffle and fava bean salad for lunch. Great vegetarian options plus a beautiful atmosphere and friendly service. Look forward to returning.”

“I love the chicken and fries. I wish they delivered to Belleville. I would order more if they did.”

“Caught a hot day for a ride and decided to track down some gelato. Bienvenue totally delivered. The staff is super helpful, and the prices are pretty reasonable.
The best part was sitting out on Church Street to eat it. It was kind of a vibe. Great experience all around; highly recommend if you're out exploring on two wheels or two feet.”

“such a beautiful spot. Marie does are so nice and take their time to make you great coffee. I love the atmosphere and the setting. The vibe is always great. It’s also black owned which I love.”

“Everything delicious: Best Italian sub sandwich; eggplant parmigiana. Going years. No exaggeration”

“The Best 🌟🌟🌟🌟 reminds me of my Nona and PopPop’s house every Sunday.”

“Good luck my son 😊❤️!!!! I love you, Love, Mom- God bless you!!!!!”

“They’re food never disappoints! I personally love their classic Italian sub and tuna salad, but they’re famous for their eggplant parm and soups.”

“Love this spot, especially their specials. Today I had the HOT Cosmo and Wanda, pistachio, rose, ginger..it’s without argument the best combo I’ve ever had (and I drink a lot of coffee/espresso). The cherry on top is their friendly barista(s). Today, Mario & Sami (Sami made my delicious drink), shared some laughs and stories and I felt like they really cared. Perfect start to my day.”

“The most delicious and flavorful desserts!”

“Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had! Steak burrito is excellent and shrimp tacos are AMAZING! My husband and I prefer the truck food over the physical restaurant location, the food seems more flavorful. The prices are great and the service is very friendly.”

“Little disappointed at this place. Saw they had Crispy Beef with Fresh Honey Walnuts Beef with a bed of steamed broccoli in a sweet brown sauce topped with sugared walnuts. Not crispy as from can see in pic. Was this really beef also? Walnuts were plain as well.Steamed Spinach Dumplings were a bit dry . Hunan Dumplings Spinach and beef dumplings topped with spicy peanut sauce. Spicy. I got not spicy but were very good. Would I try again. Yes think I would.”

“The staff was friendly and knowledgeable”

“The best Greek food in America and the best service”

“They have the best scones in the tri-state area! I am addicted to that buttermilk scone, Delicious! They even took my suggestion and made a banana espresso chip scone (aka - the Jackie Scone). It is absolutely delicious. Get there fast because it will sell out quick. They're always friendly and pleasant. Thank you "Little Daisy Bake Shop" for making my day. 😄”

“Went to eat lunch with my mom. The server Ethan was great did a great job had a great smile I’ll def be back”

“Honestly, it makes me so happy that a place like this still exists in downtown Montclair. I picked up two pizzas today - a pepperoni and a cheese for $25. The woman there was incredibly sweet and gave me a free container of cut watermelon as well. I really like their pizza and have always sung their praises - it’s slightly spicy. Traditional? Not exactly but I’m Italian and I think it’s delicious for a good price so that’s what matters. Hope they’re around for a long time — they’ve always been there for me in a later night pinch”

“My daughter and I were in the area for an appt. and we came across Tino’s and I have to admit this is by far THE BEST Pizza we have ever tasted in our life!!!!! If you have not gone there- please do!!! They have excellent food and will not disappoint. Cheers!!!!”

“Best I have had in Montclair since moving here recently Originally from Boston our North End Italian Section among best in USA - SoHo definitely right up there I will be back again and again Friendly and helpful owner Chaz”

“Food was good! Service was great, thank you Juan Camilo! We'll come back.”

“I Am Always So Happy To Order Anything On Their Delightful Menu. The Food Is Always Prepared With Love And Care!! .. The Dinners Are Hot And Oh So Delicious! .. I Highly Recommend Jefferson's Cafe! Absolutely And Unequivocally Delicious Homemade Food!!! 10 STARS!!!!”

“Should be best best restaurants list in NJ!”

“Pappardelle Restaurant is a wonderful local Italian restaurant with great food and service. You feel like you are part of the family when you eat here. Augustine greets you when you arrive and you are seated in their lovely dining room. This Montclair BYO restaurant provides the perfect place to gather with family and friends. Service is prompt and attentive and the menu is varied with something for even your more finicky eaters. You will not be disappointed by both the familiar Italian standards and the creative specials. We recently hosted a holiday party for 24 and the group is still talking about the event. Pappardelle provide choice of packages at different prices for groups . We chose a package which began with family style appetizers followed by pasta and salad courses and then a choice of several main dishes with dessert and coffee. We were not rushed and enjoyed our evening. Thank you to Augustine and his staff for creating a memorable event for our group.”

“Best Gluten Free pizza you will find. Reminds Me of the days before I was diagnosed with Celiac, I will be back for more”

Service was also excellent with attentive help and the servers were conversational and friendly with my friends and I. Bathrooms were also very clean. I wholeheartedly recommend Cornbread Montclair as a solid business and a great place for delicious Soul Food.”

“Went this evening to try this new place as I was graving some shawarma. Had a beef shawarma that came with olives and pickles. Flavor was very authentic Middle Eastern in both the shawarma and pickles. I also had their fattoush which was very good. 2 people can easily be served from both the shawarma and fattoush! Overall, good food, nice place. Will be back.”

“The best burger of my life. Don't pass up the corn bread!”

“Best gyro I’ve ever had hands down! The lentil soup is also fantastic. Highly recommended for takeout! (You can eat there but it’s small)”

“This place is amazing and the food is amazing too. But last night the service was poor. The waiter took our Order and he kept forgetting just about everything we asked him to bring. Finally at the end he had us waiting for a good 30 minutes for our check. After going there many times this was the first time but it was annoying vent son was falling asleep at the table. I will go back but won’t deal with that waiter.”

“The ice cream was delicious but two people in my party got huge sundaes and they took about ten minutes to make. I felt horrible for the people behind us. I think a queue would be more appropriate than going and hoping you don’t behind the wrong people. Servings are more than generous but they’re packed into the container so tightly that on a hot day, it spills over the sides as soon as someone digs in. There’s also nowhere to sit A few small tables or benches would be nice.”

“The atmosphere is chill and I really like the Airplane vibe. The Airline seats really give it a nice touch. Coffee was great! Also love that old style Airline ticker on the wall. Will be back.”

“Halcyon,I'd gladly come back! I loved the ambiance.”

“I've ordered from here many times, food is always good especially loaded fries my favorite. Recently a dasher took my order for themselves, but i got a new driver who was able to talk to doordash and get me a new order. The worker Stephanie was super sweet and truly accommodated this situation!”

“Great Restaurant Great Vibes Delicious Food Clean and Customerservice awesome”

“Love love there macarons!!!”

“Fantastic experience! The coffee was rich and perfectly made, and the desserts were absolutely delicious—especially the tiramisu and the variety of fresh pastries and Turkish delights. Everything looked beautiful and tasted even better.

The place is clean, welcoming, and full of great options, from breakfast items to sweets and drinks. You can tell they take pride in quality and presentation.

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for great coffee, fresh baked goods, and friendly service. We will definitely be back!”

“I've only picked up food from here twice, but both times our meals were shockingly excellent. We love to share multiple items on their menu. You can't go wrong!”

“My first time visiting was amazing. The employees are very helpful and patient with selecting options and recommendations. As well as the service always being quick and spectacular. This has become one of my favorite spots. Thank you.”

“Went there just for drinks but the whole vibe had me wanting to go back for dinner. We had a great bartender whom informed us with all the recent events and the new patio opening up soon.”

“I thought at first the price was pricey. But couldn’t resist buying some cookies because the advertising picture was very appealing. I got the triple chocolate cookies and it was delicious. Definitely worth the price”

“This is hands‑down the best sushi in Montclair. The raw fish is unbelievably fresh every single day of the week, and the owners are some of the warmest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Their special rolls are actually special — creative, balanced, and consistently excellent. I recommend this place! It’s a true sushi gem in our neighborhood.”

“From someone whose appetite has been battle-tested and brutally selective, this place doesn’t just serve food; it delivers an experience that resets the standard.

Every plate arrives like it has something to prove. The heat is perfect. The texture is intentional. The flavors aren’t loud for attention; they’re composed, disciplined, and unforgettable. Whether you pick it up yourself, sit down and let the moment unfold, or have it delivered to your door, it lands the same way: hot, precise, uncompromised.

You can taste the time. You can feel the quality. There’s a level of care in the preparation that goes beyond technique; it feels personal. In a world of rushed kitchens and corner-cutting, this food stands tall. It doesn’t just satisfy hunger. It restores you.”

“I tried the chicken and rice dishes and the pad thai. Very yummy and welcome addition to montclair. its a bit hidden so im getting the word out.”

“Excellent service great location very friendly staff who makes the smoothies. Today I had the brownie smoothie and it was delicious.... Tasty like a brownie yet somehow healthy! I will be back!”

“I admit I didn’t have very high hopes when I came across this spot as a recommended lunch place; maybe I was afraid to be disappointed since I love Vietnamese cuisine.

But I am happy to report that my order was delicious (I got the bun). Excellent flavors, great mix of textures and colors, perfectly seasoned. My only hope is that they offer bowls of pho broth in the future.

I’d recommend you pick up a book from Watchung Booksellers right next door (it’s attached to the restaurant) and have a peaceful lunch here.”

“2nd visit was even better than the first. We got the filet, sushi, and the cod which was incredible, as well as all 3 desserts. Each dish was something special. The chef also greeted us at the table, which was a unique touch. Will be back many times over”

“Sam’s Table is a cozy restaurant with a seasonal menu and very welcoming staff and decor. We dined here with friends in March where we had the most delicious spring menu. Everyone at the table tried something they “don’t usually like” and Sam changed our minds. Every course was fresh, creative, beautiful and delicious. I loved how each dish had a special touch - we had preserved lemon and pea tendrils and sunflower seed tahini and dandelion. We will definitely be back.”

“This is such a great spot, and as a vegan I love being able to get anything off the menu. The cashew milk, date, banana & spinach smoothie I had was delicious, and I can't wait to go back, they also have a full coffee bar, which I will be trying next time as well. The owner is very nice and the place is really cute and clean. Check it out! 😊”

“This place is THE spot for a sugar rush. Mixing your favorite childhood cereal with ice cream is beyond amazing. Can't wait to go back. Service was very friendly”
