I have never been disappointed by any of my dining trips to Morton's in Hackensack. The food and drinks are always perfectly prepared and their service is always a five star experience. The manager, Joe Rogan always greets you and stops by to make sure that you are 100 percent happy with your choices. Of course, their strong spot is perfectly prepared steaks, but the rest of the menu is filled with great alternatives as well. In case you have any room left, do not pass up the opportunity to choose one of their signature desserts.

Service was as good as the excellent food. The museum decor was unique and the music (70s/early 80s) was a nice change from the usual.

We really enjoyed this restaurant and everything it had to offer. This was our first visit, and from the moment we arrived, we were impressed. We received a genuinely warm welcome, something that has become increasingly rare in today’s restaurant scene. After being seated, we were immediately offered water and a cocktail menu. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and especially skilled at helping us navigate a new dining experience. As we ordered drinks, appetizers, and entrées, he never pushed one menu item over another. Instead, he answered our questions thoughtfully and offered helpful suggestions when we asked for them. In the end, we had a very enjoyable dinner, excellent drinks, and, just as importantly, the opportunity to relax and appreciate the outstanding service provided by our waiter and the other staff members who supported him. This restaurant has been serving quality meals and providing excellent service since 1984, and that experience clearly shows. With some updating to the dining room, I believe it could appeal to an even broader and younger audience while continuing to satisfy the longtime patrons who have supported it for so many years.
