Lovely little place. One of the best priced BYOB places around! Good choice when you want really good food prepared with fresh ingredients in a nice "semi-fine" dining environment with fine service to boot. A++

Roberto Silva Moreira

Fiddleheads restaurant is one of the hidden gems of New Jersey. Besides the great food and warm environment, the staff is incredibly professional, starting with the manager, Brian, and the chef, Dan. Very good vegetarian options.

Ernie Salazar

Hidden gem in Jamesburg! The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. Five stars all the way!

Esther Lewars

Fiddleheads is a small yet cozy restaurant. They accommodated a group of seven for lunch without reservation. Several of us ordered the silver 'X' burger and we were all pleased. We also had a variety of desert and again there were no complaints. We did receive a tiny bit of attitude when we tried to split the check but other than that I would definitely return for a second visit.

Michael Rosen

Great food and service. First time there and looking forward to going back.

Donald

Fiddleheads is a great place for reliable, good quality, hunger satisfying eats. My partner had a burger and fries (and was very satisfied). I had a salad that was nice and fresh. The raspberry lemonade was pretty yummy, gave the experience a little whimsy. We will be back for more.

Joseph Wilczek

Me and my family went to Six Flags Great Adventure. We ended up staying there a little bit later than we should have. After getting back to the hotel I used Yelp to find a local restaurant that was open late. Found a Mexican Restaurant with 4 stars. We ended up heading to that place which was shut down. Not knowing what was around the area I yelped restaurants again and Fiddleheads came up 1 block away from where we were. Me and the family went in and noticed that they had to other family's in there but were finishing up. The owner greated us and asked if he could help (all 4 of us were exhausted and probably looked like squatters). We asked if they were open and he said yes, but were in the process of cleaning up for the night. We explained our situation and he was completely understanding. We sat down and couldn't have been more happy with our service. Everyone was so polite and courteous to us. The kids ordered shrimp but really didn't want it served the way it was on the menu and the kitchen accommodated them by cooking the shrimp a little different than usual. My wife ordered jumbalaya (ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS) and myself I ordered a BBQ Chicken dish. I would absolutely recommend Fiddleheads to locals and out of towners. Great staff, great owner, great food.

Greg Wiessner

We enjoyed another fantastic meal at Fiddleheads tonight! The swordfish was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. The tomato bisque is a smokey delight and the steak had a delightful crisped outside and pink inside. Thank you for the outstanding service to Nick!

Dennis Trocciola

The food is creative and amazing. The service is excellent. Don't let the outside fool you, this is an excellent restaurant.

Allan Ross

My dinner along with my companions was Steak Diane. It tasted fabulous and the meat was very soft.

Diane Nagy

Leigh O'Leary

Our dinner was fresh and delicious. Our server Nick was excellent. Knowledgeable and attentive.

John Riggs

Great unique food. Cozy excellant service. Reservations reccomended.

PAT COUNIHAN

The name says it all. The fact the owners actually came up with this name and herald a fairly unknown product is the foundation for their success. Utilize the unusual. The fried elk steak and calamari style fiddleheads were to die for. Whether you want to try something different or standard, this restaurant has it all. Amazing food and great service at a unique establishment.

Peter Rallis

Andrea Alfieri

Susan Petrizzo

Everything about this place is great, from the fresh ingredients, to the inspired recipes, right down to the super friendly service. The menu is small, but delicious, with seasonal offerings to round it out. Feel free to bring a bottle of your favorite wine, and they will serve it to you as if you had bought the most expensive bottle on the wine list of an upscale restaurant. The restaurant is small, and very popular, so I suggest making a reservation.

Kristen Daniels

Anne Price

Wow. Tonight I ordered Shrimp with bacon and peaches in a cream sauce over pasta from the specials menu. It may have become my favorite meal at Fiddleheads. That says a lot. I love everything they serve.

Dana Sobel

The food was great and the staff was friendly and personable!

Marina Shikman

Very good food!

Doreen Nowlen

Good food the best service I've seen in a long time.

Dan Young

Friendly. Get the jambalaya.

BENITO MILIAN

I've had much better, and it was so highly spoken, not worth the time and money. I've could of just went to Burger King and gotten the same service for much LESS!

Nice burgers

Would give lower stars but the staff and chef were so nice i couldnt give them anything worse than 4 stars. They have that going for them and i wish them the best and hope they take my criticism and improve on it. First, my water had a lot of dust and fibers in it because the empty glasses are placed upright until someone is served. Dust accumulates and settles in the glasses. I ordered their Chicken peanut stirfry. This dish lacked the depth you usually get with Asian cuisine. It was very one dimensional. 2 tablespoons of Oyster sauce and a tablspoon of soysauce instead of salt in the stirfry could have fixed this. The chicken was cubed, therefore it was extremely dry and hard. To fix this cut into thin 1x2" strips and marinate them in cornstarch w a teaspoon of baking soda. This will help tenderize and make the stirfry thicker. Vegetables were cooked well. Very nice staff and attentive. I ws greeted with a huge smile from the chef as i entered. On another note, please get a bigger fish tank or get rid of the fish. Tank is too small so water quality is bad. He has finrot and is suffering. He is an Oscar Cichlid.

I've been dining at Fiddleheads for several years now and have never had a bad experience yet! The food is amazing, the staff is very accommodating, and the executive chef Dan comes over to the table every time we dine there to make sure that everything is prepared to perfection. I just love this place and highly recommended it. Additionally the co-owner Brian always greets us with a smile and manages to squeeze us in even if we've forgotten to make reservations. Try it, You'll love it!

David Schuchman

Real nice meal.

Anthony Proto

Great place with a fresh take on American classics

Eileen M

I love this place. had a luncheon last week with 13 people. everything was great. service food top notch.

Lisa Intoci

Good food, nice wait staff.

John Pohlmann

Still the best restaurant around.

Jane Barile

Lovely small restaurant, great professional service but food somewhat disappointing. The 'Twisted Greek Salad' contained no Greek olives and very little Feta cheese. The grilled Portobello mushroom sandwich was also disappointing. The mushroom was overpowered by a strong grainy mustard and there were way too many onions. As well, the bread was unremarkable.

Martin Israel

Great service and electic food

Gregory Northam

Andrew Hickey

Wife and I had an amazing time here for New Year's Eve. Everything was so delicious and the staff was super friendly. Brian and his crew are on their game from the moment you step through the door to the moment you wave goodnight. We booked our next date night while paying the bill. That's how good it is! Had the steak medium rare and it was perfect. Tomato bisque awesome and the key lime pie was killer!

Nelson Soto

Excellent food and attentive service.

John Lovetere

Great food, not the usual menu. Good service, a little pricey

Giri Reddy

Good but no longer extraordinary.

Robert Diday

5 for the food. But, one of the plates was cracked and a saucer dirty. The staff is very good. We love the place!

Tom Myers

My wife and I tried sunday brunch on our first visit, it was delicious. My steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The smoked potatoes were something I've not had anywhere else, and definitely will be on our 'must have' list on future visits. The service was extremely prompt and courteous and visits from Brian the owner and Chef Dan himself really highlighted our visit. We will definitely be going back!

Ray Moreno

Daniel Eckert

Great food! Wonderful wait staff. BYOB is a plus! Excellent value for the price. Would definitely recommend.

It’s very rare that I find a restaurant that has incredible food along with the friendly environment that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you arrive - like you are always welcome and have been missed. Unfortunately, I don’t live too near to Fiddleheads, if I did I know I would be there every week for their amazing brunch. Seriously, make your way there and try it, you won’t regret it. I’ll be back as soon as I can!

Corin Schack

Went with a gift card. Amazing food. We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 soups, 2 salads, 2 entrees, 2 desserts, 1 espresso. It is BYOB, but next time the drink options sound appealing enough to skip the wine! ONLY downfall was we did NOT have a cash tip. We could not use our giftcard towards tip. My husband had to go up the block to Chase to grab cash. The art on the wall also can only be purchased with cash or check bc it goes directly to the artist. We will definitely be going back. We would love to try brunch also. I feel the vibe is for adults, and the menu did not have children options. I am the mother of a 3 and 5 year old. I personally feel it is a special place for date nights! I would recommend calling to ask if there are any children options. There are plenty of vegeterian and gluten free options. I did not notice specific vegan options but again, calling to ask is always smart vs just going. Same goes for allergies. Definitely make a reservation as it was pretty busy for the 6:30pm seating. We changed our reservation 5 times due to schedule changes, and each time they were fine with it. It is business casual and I think nice jeans are appropriate. Music is quiet enough. Seat spacing is great. Service was OUTSTANDING from host to all staff in between. Very very well trained. It makes the experience very wonderful.

John Campbell

Love their shrimp salad croissant and perfect eggs Benedict

Austin

Cute place, very friendly staff. BYOB, but tons of choices for mixers including some fancy lemon aids. Food was good but not great, only had the steak and eggs but others at my table enjoyed their meals. Portions were good and the prices are reasonable.

Max Dorsey-Gordon

I went with my grandparents and they said it was the best restaurant in the area. I thought that was a bit much. Food seemed over priced and the decor didn't seem to match what they were selling. It's worth a try, but I was not been awesome by any thing.

Josephine Renna

Gregg Kits

The food & service are outstanding! What a great place for a romantic lunch brunch or dinner! You can tell the owner, chef and staff have an eye for details!

Eric Snyder

Great BYOB spot for any occasion. Been coming here for years. Food is always fantastic. No one has ever had a bad thing to say about a single item. The lamb chops are highly recommended but honestly, you can pick anything at random and you won't be disappointed. The staff is friendly and attentive. It's small so make a reservation. There is a wine store down the street so grab a bottle, they don't sell alcohol but will gladly uncork whatever you bring in.

Holly M

I come in often from Ohio to visit with my mom and this was the second time I been to Fiddleheads ..... First time I ordered a burger which was outstanding .... One of the best burgers ever and on my second visit I had salmon over salad also terrific. The food is outstanding and very fresh. Our servicer was also outstanding and very attentive. I did not have a reservation for lunch but it seemed as if it's something that is preferred by the owner and chef from the vibe received from their attitude and body language when I first walked into the establishment . The atmosphere was extremely inviting and again the food was excellent .

David Friedman

Gordon Ng

The food was prepared from not very fresh ingredients, and it was overcooked and over-spiced. The shrimp was rubbery, the salad leaves were wilted. We were very disappointed.

Lynne Murray

John Warren

Great food, reasonable prices, memorably friendly and courteous staff!

Michael Pipkin

Delicious food and drinks in an upscale atmosphere. Everything from the bread to the desserts was amazing! Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Great as always!!

lizzy hinman

The people here are incredible! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Tay LeClaire

I really like this restaurant's food. I've only been there for lunch though and I only had a burger. probably the best burger I've ever had in my life it had bacon jelly and cheese... As well as many ingredients I don't remember. it was exceptional and I've heard the entire menu is exceptional. The only caveat, the reason for taking away two Stars, is very the smelly and dirty carpet they have in the dining room. It smells moldy and like a old locker room. God knows how many spills and messes have been cleaned up on that floor. The floor is what has prevented me from going back and trying other items on the menu. if you're reading this, owner of fiddleheads, please do something about that awful, awful dining room carpet. The food is great the carpet it's not. Definitely a local gem I recommend checking out and hopefully they will do something about that awful carpet.

carolanne coad

Not sure how to rate this restaurant. Hospitality and service great. First plates fine. Comments heard at my table: risotto warm and sweet,add some raisins and you have rice pudding. Why is the duck so dry?Lastly my whole wheat lasagne....not for me. So I think 2 stars this time around.

Nicolas Noa

Friendly and attentive staff, my favorite place to go. BYOB and try the burgers! Everything was great about it from start to finish.

Paul Laskow

Met there for Sunday brunch. I can't express how accommodating the owner and staff were. Aside from excellent and delicious food, the service and hospitality were outstanding. I'll go there again when in the area.

P S

The food is great. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I like the tomato bisque soup and the jambalaya diah they have. I also had a pasta dish once that was very good. BYOB

Kathleen Kirk

Lunch was delicious from start to finish. The empanada appetizer was interesting with a mix of bacon, spinach, feta & blueberries. The Sloppy Joe was unique and delicious. Make sure to try the blueberry lemonade! Our server, Alexa, was terrific, great customer service. We'll definitely be back to dine.

Debra DeMarco

I have been a customer for 15 years. It is great for both casual dining and special occasions. The food and service is always consistent. I especially love the seasonal menu specials. My favorite is the pumpkin soup in the fall. Regulars and newbies are always welcomed with attentive service and good food. I highly recommend this restaurant!! Oh , one more thing ,always great music !

Great brunch! Love their sweet bread basket as a starter. My favorite is Smoke Salmon Benedict. Burgers are great, too. Attentive and friendly service.

Roger Royster

This place was really good!.

Jason Tanzer

Just had a wonderful breakfast at Fiddleheads. I was in the mood for a Bloody Mary. They serve a pretty good Virgin Mary so I bought my own vodka. We started off with the Mom's Sweet-Bread Sampler. A slice each of Mom's delightful pumpkin, zucchini, and banana nut breads. They came with maple butter and strawberry compote. Very good. For breakfast I had The Eggs Benedict. Poached eggs with canadian bacon on a toasted English muffin, topped with light lemon butter tarragon sauce and served with Smoky Roast potatoes. Excellent!!! My wife had The Brooklyn Scramble. Cream cheese, red onion, and smoked salmon. I tasted it and it was excellent as well. Coffee was ok. Not overly impressed. The service, decor, and whole dining experience was excellent. The price was reasonable. I will definately be back. I look forward to going for dinner.

Jeremy Skillings

Went here to try something new. Really enjoyed and with real vegetarian choices. Will go back.

Patrick Akey

Debra Alt

I love this place! Innovative and seasonal menu items are always great. The owners are super friendly and staff is attentive.

Megan Farrell

We went here for a belated Valentines Day and it was wonderful. Service and food were great. Would absolutely recommend for a great BYOB for a couple or small group. The restaurant isn’t that big.

Katie Ritchie

Outstanding all around! Staff was so kind and warm, space is cozy and inviting, and the menu is so creative! I had the heavenly scrambled eggs, and if you're a cream cheese lover this is a dish you'll definitely enjoy. My other party members had variations of the eggs benedict which were all phenomenal. I wish I could poach my eggs that well!!

Jennifer Wilkerson

This is a wonderful restaurant. Great family atmosphere and great food. Outstanding service.

Justice Rainz

Bill Kieffer

It was a marvelous lunch with an attentive staff. Plus, hot mulled cider for dessert!

Ian Kaufman

Chef really seems to enjoy coming up with the specials. Good food at a reasonable price.

DJ Noname

This place is not what it looks like from the outside. Great service from everyone. I'm not one to send back my food but I was not 100% happy with my dish. Hard rice and a bad cut of tuna. Everyone else loved their food and we had a great time. I'm not going to kill the review because I loved the atmosphere, people and service. I plan to go back and I will update this review. Any one would love this place.
