Restaurants in Pompton Lakes

“Been a while since we went to Axton’s, but my wife and I will be celebrating 30 years this week, we thought we’d start with a fine dinner WTH Chef Anton. Early on a Sunday during the summer was far from their busy time, so we had a chance to chat. For starters, we shared an apple mango salad. Shame on me for not reading the menu. The dressing is apple mango. Home made! I was looking for mango in the salad. Apple, craisins, two kinds of cheese…. Perfect for a hot July day. My wife ordered the shrimp marinara over spinach instead of pasta. Delicious and even more impressive was that the shrimp had their tails removed. A great touch. The piece de resistance was my scallop special. Scallops topped with Crabcake coating topped with bacon. Served over a bed of spinach with cherry tomatoes and more. My wife called it spectacular. I thought it was a taste of heaven. Couldn’t figure out one taste in the sauce. Originally thought mango, but there was none in the salad. Had to ask if it was peach? Mango was the winner. The dish was a bigger winner!”

“Our first time going to the Totowa location (met up with friends for lunch). Staff was very friendly and helpful - we decided to eat outside and they brought the food to us quickly. We had the tacos, regular bowl with carnitas and fajita bowl with steak and pina-mango drink. Food was very tasty and freshly made. Will come back to try El Pastor. Definitely recommend Sombrero Tacoria.”

“Absolutely amazing! Everything is made with fresh, homemade ingredients and you can taste the difference in every bite. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. Great atmosphere, great prices , can’t recommend this place enough!”

“This is likely my favorite cafe thanks to solid service, food, drinks, ambiance (quiet😊). I like to pick up the in-house sealed earl grey kcups as well as the moroccan mint kcups for home. The avocado toast, banana pudding, cheese danish were all delish!”

“I’m not a big review guy but this place is one of those exceptions because of how FANTASTIC the food here is. I don’t eat out much and prefer eating healthier at home because eating out makes me feel bad BUT THIS PLACE NEVER makes me feel like poop. A+++++++ ”

“Monica‘s restaurant is a great place to eat delicious food. Very friendly professional, hard-working staff.”

“Friendly. Many tasty sushi options to choose from. Fresh and affordable . Owner even gave us a complimentary dish . We didn't feel rushed and felt welcomed .”

“Everything is so fresh and amazing.”

“Dining at the bar. Love the coziness and interacting with bar tenders”

“Good food. Attentive server. Good value.”

“I was excited to get warm with soup after Pompton Lakes’ Holiday Stroll. I got the Hot Lemongrass Beef Pho. This is hands down the best pho I’ve had since leaving California. Boiling Pho is legit!! The noodles were chewy and not soggy. The beef brisket was so tender. The sliced beef was fresh. The broth was immaculate on a cold night and super flavorful. Nothing beats a good bowl of pho. I can’t wait to include this place in my weeknight dinner rotation! Thank you for the great food, atmosphere, and service!!”

“We got the sesame chicken and General Tsos lunch special with the egg roll.Food was delicious and staff is very friendly. First time eating there and will definitely come back.”

“The Pizza is Fantastic. My 10 yr old was having a blah day. He said the only thing that could fix it was pizza. It had to be in Pompton Lakes and it had to be Nicky G's. We had 2 slices each (which is a lot for him), a Yoohoo for him and a Nicky G's Vanilla soda for me. It was definitely worth the cost, which wasn't expensive at all.”

“The Sidedoor is under new ownership, and I’ve already seen some really positive changes! It’s in a great spot, and they’ve started adding food and making little updates that make a big difference. The vibe is super inviting! It’s definitely a place where anyone can feel welcome.

If you’re into beer, pool, darts, shuffleboard, and just a good time in general, this is the place to check out. Excited to see what’s coming next for The Sidedoor!”

“This has quickly become my new favorite spot. The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure you feel right at home. The bar has an awesome partnership with the Smoke Shack BBQ across the street, making it even better. The vibe is laid-back, and they offer a great selection of craft beers, wines, and a wide variety of whiskeys and tequilas. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy a good drink.”

“Love coming here either with my girlfriends, kids or by myself to do ceramics and have a little treat! This place is super unique and I'm so glad I came across it”

“How many licks does it take to get to the end of the 2025 Lick Your Way Through NJ Ice Cream Tour? 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅 👅! Finished at Randy’s so we could personally hand our completed cards to the man who had the idea and started it. Thank you, Randy, and thanks to all the other shops along the way for participating!”

“While I normally do not like ribs —even the McRib— I am so glad I took a chance on Tim. I never knew ribs could taste so delicious. The meat was so tender I could pull it off with my teeth or my fingers. I will definitely buy from here again.”

“Great sandwiches! No service complaints. Haven’t had any incorrect order issues either. I’ve come by for sandwiches quite regularly lately. I would recommend the chicken cutlet sandwich and the cheesesteaks (add chipotle mayo, you’re welcome)”

“Ordered pineapple chicken for my lunch yesterday Generous portion. Lots of chicken and pineapples It was delicious”

“I recently ordered from The Den, it’s a charming new BYOB spot that has quickly become a favorite. The service was impeccable from start to finish; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. As for the food, every dish was a masterpiece—beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the perfectly seasoned appetizers to the mouthwatering entrees, each bite was a delight. The freshness of the ingredients and the chef's skillful preparation were evident in every course. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.”

“I have just moved into the area, next-door to my best friends! They brought me to Tony’s for the first time, and I loved it! I just ordered my first takeout order to feed my friends who were helping me move in and it was delicious, timely, and the friendliest service!”

“todo lo que se vende aquí se prepara a la orden del dia”

“little expensive but food was good a little over the top moment was seeing everyone who had take out they were getting flowers as a thank you.”

“I stopped by the Ice Cream Station today to speak with the owners Greg and Song about their ice cream business. They are both so nice and we spoke to great lengths about the different types of ice cream and quality along with their business in general. They are both so warm and friendly and know the ice cream business well! What a great experience! 😀 Their ice cream tastes great and they have awesome flavors, toppings, and options! Go and see Greg and Song for some fantastic ice cream in a warm and friendly atmosphere! You won't regret it! 🍦🍦🍦HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!🍦🍦🍦”

“I'm currently living for the spicy bulgogi! The breading on the bone in wings is fricken on point, like holy crunchy Batman.”

“Highly recommend. Walked in to see about 6+ specialty pies to try. I ordered a spinach/ricotta & a broccoli/ricotta was amazing. Hot fresh & great taste. They do have a sit down server area with a full menu as well. Service was fast and professional. Definitely stopping by again….”

“Wow everything was so delicious! Melt away was fantastic. French croller donuts so soft and really tasty. Apple turnover delicious…. Pecan danish delish! We will be going back. Thank you!”

“A++++ Staff was very friendly, helpful and accomodating. Place was clean and very nicely decorated. The best fruit bowl I’ve had. Oatmeal was a 10. First time and I can’t wait to go back.”
