It’s an American grill style restaurant with professional employees and delicious condiments available. Plenty of seating, shared bathroom on site, napkins, paper menus, and straws. What a phenomal treat in Rockaway NJ; they also have extra-curricular activities posted, and the hours of operation are clearly stated.
Can’t wait to come back next time for another visit, 10/10 would recommend!!!

Located on Route 46 in Rockaway is where Pop’s Place calls home and will be another place to add to the rotation. Part of the charm in visiting this location is that it once was a Stewart’s several years ago (thanks Google for the picture) so there is a nostalgic part of the visit, yet the transformation of the new location brings you to a totally different dinning experience that us unique to Pop’s.
Plan was to grab a few dogs and provide a fair and honest review on a few of their different dogs but failed you in that after viewing the menu, realized I had to try one of their signature sliders instead.
I ended up getting a chili dog with onions with a side of onion rings and a classic slider with grilled onions. Food was super tasty and came out relatively quickly. Arrived a tad before lunch rush and had no problem getting a table. While I was skeptical about eating there or in my car on a chilly January day, I was surprised how well the canopy and vinyl sides kept the dinning area warm and kept out most of the cold. The heaters were blasting and the dinning experience was rather enjoyable for a cold winters day. Definitely beats trying to struggle to eat in a car and not make a mess and getting chilli all over the car.
Freddy, the General Manager, who served me was very friendly and was ready to assist with any questions about the menu. Overall a great visit and will added to the mix of places to go when I’m not looking to travel very far just got lunch.
From my research prior to my visit, they use a Sabrett all beef natural casing dog 6-1 which raises the bar on quality of product they serve. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area or looking to go on a road trip. Another win for a Morris County establishment in my opinion.
My sliders were great ! Bun was super fresh and the beef great and cooked great also. Fries were “cool” the kids got nuggets and they were okay. Portions I would consider totally fair. Not too big and not to small, based on the prices I think it was on par.
I must give an honorable mention to the SPOTLESS restroom. My strawberry lemonade was not the best and I ended up sending it back, more tart than sweet. The staff was pretty straight forward, take your order and tell you to go wait. No abound beyond service but they were efficient. I will likely return to try a shake, and another slider. As always I suggest you try it for yourself.
Started off with a couple breakfast items and tried out “The Breakfast Bomb” and some Jersey Meat, Egg, and cheese sliders (I refuse to debate whether it’s pork roll or Taylor ham…Jersey Meat it is.). The breakfast bomb was delicious. How can you not love the combo of sausage, bacon, and Jersey meat all backed into one sandwich with egg and cheese? It’s physically impossible. And as good as that was, if you remove the bacon/sausage, those sliders were still excellent on their own. I’d order either of these items for breakfast without even blinking twice.
Now we get into some doggies!! I’ve grown fond of the dogs on my travels because it’s how I really got into blogging in the first place. It was something easy that I knew my kids would eat (at the time they were super picky) so I started trying them out all over. With that said, the all the way dog here with the chili, onion, and mustard is one of the best I’ve had. The chili sauce here is meaty, has a lot of flavor, they put plenty of it, and it looks appealing. At nearly every place I get an all the way, at least one of those four things to hit on is missing. Not at Pop’s.
The Chicago dog simply cannot be slept on either. It doesn’t have the trademark “bright green relish”, but it doesn’t need it. The flavor is spot on, and I mean spot on. This is better than some of the Chicago dogs I’ve had … in Chicago. If these toppings fall in your wheelhouse of enjoyment, it’s worth a look. The Italian Dog was also a treat. There is a constant debate over what type of roll and what type of potatoes to use for these so you’re never going to be able to please everyone on this item if you’re a restaurant. I found this to be a good dog, regardless of preferences on those items.
Closed out with a killer vanilla shake that I finished before anyone else was even halfway through theirs. If you know me, you know that’s a big statement because I’m really not into sweets like that typically, I’m more of a savory guy. This shake had excellent flavor and viscosity though and was topped with fresh real whipped cream and sprinkles. It honestly was a real treat.
The only other important thing to note (aside from it being outrageously easy to get to, it’s right on the highway), is that they have created a dining area suited for all weather conditions. It is enclosed with heaters for the winter time and they can roll down the windows for nicer weather. There is also an outdoor seating area you can use.
One of the easiest things I’ve ever been able to say…Pop’s Place in Rockaway, NJ – Didn’t Suck!
