What they are saying: Great atmosphere! I took my two kids and my husband and we enjoyed the place very much. There was two huge TV's one which was playing the Yankees game for my husband and the other which was playing Nickelodeon for my kids. The new machines made the texture very different and more creamy. Can't wait to take the kids back, it has been their treat for doing their chores and homework!

10. Franklin Lakes Country Cafe.
436 Pulis Ave Franklin Lakes, NJ 07417
Phone number: (201) 891-4464
What they are saying: Enjoyed a delicious weekend breakfast here, with to wait despite arriving at the prime-time hour of 9 A.M.! Great, family-friendly service that got our hungry 2- and 5-year-old their breakfast orders first, and had crayons and coloring mats to help keep them busy. I had the bacon & cheese omelet (no problem asking for cheddar), which was deliciously smoky and must have been covered in invisible awesome sauce. The hash browns are everything other reviewers raved about -- good spice and nice texture. My wife had an excellent ham-and-green-pepper omelet, and the kids enjoyed some real good french toast and chocolate chip pancakes. Great black coffee, fresh and not at all bitter, which is a big win with me. Just remember to bring cash, as this place doesn't take credit cards. I see they're open 5-10 P.M. Thu-Sun for desserts (ice cream, cake, brownies, you name it), looking forward to coming back to try that out! Meanwhile, will definitely be coming back for breakfast soon!
