50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Waldwick

“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!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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“

“Excellent food, in a casual setting.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“Their Italian dishes are superb.“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Eating here feels like going over to your Mexican friend’s house and having their family cook you an authentic home-cooked meal.

The food is always fresh, high quality, and consistently clean. Every dish tastes homemade with real care behind it.“

“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“

“Pretzels were great, but I want to give a shoutout to the guy behind the counter. He went above and beyond to accommodate. Thank you!“

“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.“

“Great food. Worth the $$$“

“Thank you to Kiara, Tommy, and staff. Tommy's sponsored/catered the food at our Tricky Tray this past weekend as well as last year! RAVE REVIEWS!!! Everyone LOVED the food! Everything was delish, fresh, and hot! We can't thank you enough!!!!“

Their bagels are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made — whether it’s breakfast or lunch, you can always count on a great meal. It’s a go-to spot we truly enjoy and highly recommend!“

“Gelato Rice balls calzoni“

“Really nice place to eat everyday, the 10$ meal is just really generous, if you eat a lot this is the place for you. I'm only speaking of 10$ meal. There are more things on the menu. Add a nice costumer service and this place is just great, I just had lunch in Newark, for ... like the same amount of food or less and it cost me 33$, I wish I was near Rancho Deli...“

“I recently visited this halal fast food restaurant and had a great experience overall. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. I ordered the chicken burger and loaded fries, and both were well-seasoned and served hot. It’s reassuring to know that all the meat is 100% halal, which is very important to me.

The restaurant was clean and well-organized, and the menu had a good variety of options at reasonable prices. Service was quick despite it being busy, and the staff were polite and welcoming. The only small improvement I would suggest is offering more drink options or sauces.

Overall, I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for tasty, reliable halal fast food. I’ll be coming back again.

The worker service at this halal fast food restaurant was excellent. The staff were friendly, respectful, and professional from the moment I walked in specially Saima. They took my order patiently, answered my questions clearly, and made sure everything was correct.“

“My husband works in Hawthorne and we we’re looking for a good Italian restaurant. After Google reviews we decided to order from Ossy’s and we are so glad we did. When you first walk in the atmosphere is nostalgic and authentic. The staff is so warm and welcoming. I spoke with Ken the last time to place our order and he was a total sweetheart. We have ordered from them twice so far and their food is second to none. You can taste their passion for food. My husband ordered the Chicken Napolitano both times and said it was out of this world delicious. My son ordered Rigatoni with Vodka sauce and practically licked his plate clean!! I ordered Chicken Marsala and Chicken Sorrentino and it was one of the best I have ever had. Yes this is coming from a Jersey Italian whose family once owned a restaurant in Newark so my standards are very high. We did takeout but we are looking forward to bringing the family to the restaurant for a sit down meal. If you are looking for a great Italian restaurant look no further. Ossy’s is your place!“

“Best Italian ice I’ve ever had“

“I love Ramsey Kitchen. Around 3 months ago, I stopped in when I saw they were open, and I have been hooked ever since. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Amazing wraps, sandwiches, paninis and salads. On top of how good everything is, they are also so nice and friendly. This has become my go-to lunch spot, and I have been recommending it to everyone.“

“Great little diner on Main Street in New City. Excellent breakfasts. Try the French toast! Or the blueberry pancakes. Or pretty much everything! Good coffee in old fashioned diner mugs. Friendly staff, too. New owners since January 2025. Updated space looks great. Still good food, friendly staff, now open for dinner 5 nights.“

“Food was amazing ordered the chopped cheese, the papaya dog and those loaded fries that come with chicken, cilantro, etc.
Heard a lot about this place will definitely order them again very convenient super quick super good quality food as well. The chopped cheese was phenomenal. 10/10“

“Delicious food, amazing staff 😋“
