Best Restaurants in Hackensack, NJ

Hackensack has been the Bergen County seat since 1710, and Main Street remains the city's downtown spine. The city is actively redeveloping that corridor into a more walkable, mixed-use district, with plans that encourage restaurants, sidewalk seating and even rooftop dining. Around The Green and lower Main Street, historic markers tell the city's story, and walking tours cover the area.

Hackensack is home to Hackensack University Medical Center and part of Fairleigh Dickinson University's Metropolitan Campus, which straddles the Hackensack River. Transit is a strength: NJ Transit's Pascack Valley Line stops at Anderson Street and Essex Street stations, and most bus routes serve the Hackensack Bus Terminal.
