1.)White Diamond Burger joint in Union, NJ Good Burgers!!! :) :) :)
2.)There's a Spanish Steakhouse around East Rutherford and Moonachie - near Giants Stadium that makes some great steaks and other great foods like their Sea food Paella is divine!!!
3.) If you go to West New York or Union city, New Jersey... You'll find some of the best Cuban Cuisine north of Talahassee, Florida!!! Btw, they all speak English at these restaurants, so you'll have no trouble ordering what you prefer because they will be more than happy to explain each of the dishes in their menus!!! :) :) :)
There are a wide variety of fine cuisine in New Jersey, and one place to look which will also offer a ratings system is Zagats online which will break it down for you based on the type of cuisine...

Ask if you can see their kitchens... If they will not allow you in, it's a definite RED FLAG!!! If they do, and the kitchen is filthy ,well then - YOU DECIDE!!! :) :) :)
