Johnny & Hanges

Have a craving for a great hot dog? Want chili on that? onions? Something else? Then absolutely come to this restaurant. This is by far one of the best places to find a hot dog- Anywhere. There is so many different things you can top it with... onions, chili... yum! or you can go plain and just do mustard or ketchup. the people are great. Prices are great.

PROS: Great Hot dogs!!!!!!!
CONS:

Applebees

Applebees is by far my favorite chain store restaurant. Not only is the food always good and the prices spectacular, but they have so many healthy items on the menu. They are one of the only restaurants that I have ever seen weight watchers approved meals. The people at this location are always friendly and the service is always quick. This is a great chain restaurant.

Nellie's Place

Located on Franklin Turnpike, (across from Matthew's diner), this place is convenient and delicious. They have a thin crust pizza that is absolutely fabulous- In my opinion one of the better things on the menu. The menu is diverse and there is definitely something for everyone. The prices are good and consistent with the area. Parking can get tight at times- especially on weekends. The staff is great and helpful.

Sakura Bana Restaurant

This is probably the Sushi restaurant that has been around longest in Ridgewood- And there is certainly a reason for that. The sushi is fresh and always good. The prices are reasonable. The place is cute and the people incredibly friendly. The one con is parking in Ridgewood- But that is not the fault of this place. You may have to walk a bit to get here but it is well worth it. This place can get very busy- especially on a Friday or Saturday night.

PROS: good prices and fresh sushi
CONS: parking

Ichiban Japanese Restaurant

If you are looking for a decent hibachi place, then definitely check this place out. Not the most outstanding experience I have ever had, but the food is always consistently good. The prices are reasonable and you leave full with the hibachi dinners (or lunches). The sushi is fresh and also good- though I have had better elsewhere and I personally would rather come here for the hibachi then sushi. It is usually pretty easy to get a table and the place is usually pretty quiet. The staff is friendly and very helpful. All around good meal and consistent experience.

gavin

This is a good supply house for all auto body needs. There are many local auto body shops that get their supplies there. It is more of a professionals shop but it is open to the public for those who like to do their own repairs or who are re-building cards. The people are incredibly knowledgeable and nice. And they can help you find anything you are looking for. The prices are good for the area and in line where they should be. This is a great place. I highly recommend it.

Country Inn Restaurants

This is an old place with a lot of charm. The staff is incredibly nice and accommodating. The menu is pretty diverse. Wide variety of all menu items. They have been in business for years. A lot of chefs from local area with vast knowledge of local specialities. The food is very good. Always consistent and good. i have never had a bad meal here. The prices are little high but the portions are pretty decent. You will definitely have a nice experience here.

Cartronics

This store has a wide variety of car electronics and radios for your vehicle. They have been in business for many years (they had been in Ridgewood before their move to Ridgewood). I have had many things installed- from speakers and head units to car alarms. They are expanding to do tinting and minor repairs. The people are very helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. They are a little expensive but for the quality of work and their expertise, they are completely worth it in my opinion.

Berdan Shopping Ctr

There are a variety of different stores that are in this shopping center. You can get all your errands and go out for a good meal all in one stop. There is a Trader Joe's and a Stop & Shop for all your grocery needs. There is a fantastic Diner that has not only great service and great prices but great portions and variety as well. if you want something different for desert then go to Maggie Moo's for some ice cream with whatever mix ins you choose. There is a toy store and a small Macy's as well.

Eugenias Bridal & Special Occasions

This is a pretty decent bridal shop. The people are fairly nice but I felt at times that even though i had made an appointment, that they were trying to rush me. I did not find a style dress that I liked but they did have some unique dresses that i had not seen elsewhere. They also carry a large selection of Bridesmaids and Mother of the bride/groom dresses. The prices seemed okay- but for the service I would rather go elsewhere. I did hear from someone that when I went they had recently changed management so the service has improved some according to some friends. Worth a shot. They were pretty good.
