This restaurant has a really cool vintage vibe. I especially enjoyed the unique decor and atmosphere. The menu is extensive and offers a variety of delicious options. I can't wait to bring my wife here as well. It's not a chain restaurant, but a hidden gem that many people stop at while traveling upstate. It's a great place with a cheesy but brilliant charm.

Amazing food for a good price. Nice and cozy . Family oriented and very nice staff. The cleaning lady was what made it cozy, her smile and hospitality.
A fun step back in time to classic counter service burgers and hotdogs! I visited with a group a few weeks ago and called ahead they were ready for us and moved through our group quickly and with excellent service. The managers were both wonderful to work with and it was an encouragement to see the on duty manager working right alongside his staff to serve us. Plus they have them best onion rings ever! And my friends love their crunchy, vinegary pickles! Check them out and support this classic
Before there were McDonalds and Burger Kings and Shake Shacks on every corner, this Jersey burger spot has been serving burgers to Bergen county residents for decades. Its cozy, its quiet, the food's good. Lots of options aside from burgers too, hot dogs, pizza, fries chicken. It's a good spot, it's not fancy, it's not epic, but its reliably good.
Great place as always! Prices went up ALOT! 8$ for a quick burger is kinda pricey being they still use the same small patty’s as most classic hotdog, hamburger places. Some things have changed from the past, I ordered fries with Texas sauce, the sauce came in a cup on the side. The hotdog all the way was still as amazing as always!
I’ve been coming here for over 50 years and it has been consistently very good. Come here for a good burger and the pickle bar. You won’t be disappointed.

This restaurant is always a great place to visit! However, the prices have increased significantly. Paying $8 for a quick burger is reasonable, especially since they still use the same small patties found in traditional hotdog and hamburger joints. Some things have changed, though. When I ordered fries with Texas sauce, the sauce came on the side in a cup. Despite the changes, the hotdog was just as delicious as always.
This restaurant is a true gem, just as beloved now as it was in childhood. It has maintained its authentic charm over the years, always delivering top-notch service and friendly staff. Perfect for families and a must-visit for everyone!
A funny step back into the time to classic antiservice burger and hotdogs! I visited some weeks ago a group and called for that they were ready for us and our group quickly and with excellent service. the manager were both wonderful to work with, and it was a encouragement to see the service manager who works right next to his staff to serve us. and my friends love their crispy, vinegary pickles! look and support them this classic local business.
