Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Cliffside Park

Delicious food is what I will remember the most. I was very impressed with the garlic bread, spaghetti and short ribs meatballs, calamari, and dessert. The atmosphere was also relaxing and welcoming.

We went following a Saturday matinee. Perfect atmosphere for us. Felt low key, comfortable and like a genuine neighborhood place. Food and service were both excellent. Menu is well rounded and offers choices for everyone. Don’t think twice.

The food was delicious, fresh, with large portions and several options for vegetarians and vegans. The homemade veggie burger and rosemary fries were delicious and the sides and salads were large enough for a meal. Service was outstanding and the atmosphere became lively and louder later in the evening, but was cozy and quiet before the true dinner hour--though the seats are very close together so it would not be the ideal choice for an intimate, romantic dinner. Overall, I would highly recommend the Blue Dog Cookhouse and Bar and will definitely return if I'm in that neighborhood again.

Unexpectedly FANTASTIC! Food, Service, ambience and design.. excellent. A new GEM to relax and unwind in- while taking a break from the elegant but frenetic atmosphere of Grand Central terminal. Can't wait to return.

Waiter was the best part. So kind and interested in where we were from and what we were doing:)
