Delicious! And the service was excellent, patient, friendly. Food is innovative and just as we'd chosen our dishes, we heard about the specials and were even more intrigued. Can't wait to come back!

Been here for lunch and dinner - delicious each time. The Chicken Paillard was delicious.

I'm truly convinced the dearly departed souls of Julia Child, Anthony Bourdain and a handful of other like-minded worthy spirits in the firmament of food must no doubt smile down from heaven with unadulterated childlike joy and wonderment as they linger near Saddle River Cafe's chimney in an effort to catch even one fleeting glimpse of the seemingly never-ending gastronomical wonders that await those lucky few patrons fortunate enough to stumble upon this shimmering culinary gem nestled in the middle of upper Bergen County horse country.

Until I more recently met the chef (Josh)

It was okay, sat outside which was refreshing, I had the salmon and a good kale, caesar salad I would have liked more of variety in the menu. Coffee was not the best tasting.

Very expensive and very small portions, very limited menu, example no soups and only a single salad. We shared the crab cake, one at $22.00 not that good and definitely not worth it. We shared the duck special $36.00 and equally small portion, not enough for one person, definitely not sharing size, comes with almost nothing in the way of vegetables.

Found my new place for the best lobster roll. YUM! Chunks of lobster deliciously seasoned on a toasted, buttered roll.
Also, we enjoy the brunch menu. Avocado Toast is my favorite.

The best dining spot for healthy options that do not sacrifice taste! SRC serves my favorite brunch in the area -- the crab stack and almond croissant french toast are both to die for! && their friendly service is the cherry on top.
Their smoothies, juice, and coffee are incredible and can be taken to-go if you don't have time to dine in -- highly highly recommend!

Loved the cafe burger with onion jam. The fries were seasoned in old bay. I also ordered a pear juice which tasted very fresh. Service was exceptional, however they have a fairly limited menu.

We came for a day earlier than Mother's Day for brunch around 10:20am. The place wasn't crowded which was nice. The decor was super modern and clean. We ordered the brunch special (wasn't on the menu) which was a chicken fried pork with fried egg. Husband said it was great. The batter was corn flakes as it was described to me so I couldn't order it because it wasn't gluten free. Instead, I had the southwest scramble without the corn cake (also not gf). It was super delicious and filling. We had the short stack for the kids and hubby really liked their pancakes. The orange

First time eating here and absolutely loved it. Split a veggie burger and Southwest Salad with my friend....best veggie burger I ever had. Dessert was Maple Bread Pudding...divine although would have been better without raisins. Great service as well. Will definitely go back.

Their Old Bay fries are worth going alone. So tasty and delicious, you'll want to order an order just for yourself. As side from the fries, what I enjoy about Saddle River Cafe is the fact that their menu is healthy, uses natural produce and meats when they can and still makes a tasty and filling meal.

Awesome food and some of the best shoestring fries around! The truffle mac and cheese was delicious and filling! Our service was quick and my waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. This is a great cozy gem even without indoor seating.

What kind of business turns away customers for having a small 8 lb. puppy? I have not experienced this once with outdoor dining especially now. They are currently set up in a parking lot, btw. Anyway, ended up enjoying a delicious meal at Bibi'z. Plenty of other restaurants to help support that are non-discriminatory.

First time with wife. Looking for coffee and a small bite. All pastries were gone by the time we were there (13:30). We split a lobster roll. The brioche top split roll (home made?) was perfectly toasted and buttered. The lobster was fresh and seasoned just right.

The coffee cost $4 each making it more costly than Starbucks and was not very flavorful.

I'd give this place four stars if the coffee was cheaper and the didn't run out of things so early. Upper class place and feel.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for brunch with my mom. It was pretty empty when we got there, and then soon figured out we beat the rush. By the time our food arrived, the place was packed. I got one of the specials of the day which was a burger with cheese, bacon and aioli. It was cooked perfectly and tasted great. It's definitely a place I'm coming back to for brunch.

Our first visit to Saddle River Cafe and was bustling busy for a midday Saturday afternoon,
We ordered Açaí Tropical Bowls. They were very good and very different from the franchise establishment Açaí Bowl places.
Great job Jamie another feather in your cap !

Seriously I can't get enough of this place.
I'm addicted to their smoked salmon avocado toast with their salmon smear and delicious bread. It's huge and the salad that comes with it is perfectly dressed. I can be picky when it comes to dressing as I don't like a soppy salad and often ask for it on the side. However no need here. I've tried a few of their specials and I have never been disappointed.
