COMPTON’S — Restaurant in Cliffside Park

This is a pretty decent place that comes in handy when I need a quick meal after work. I am a sandwich fan, so when they opened up I was pretty excited. I tried a few things on the menu including their chopped cheese, chicken bacon ranch, and the burrata BLT. I typically order pick up off uber eats because they offer a buy 1 get 1 deal on certain sandwiches based on the day. I will say the quality is definitely there. The burrata taste fresh, and the bacon went nicely with it. The chopped cheese was not bad, but the chicken and bacon ranch needs a major edit. I don’t eat sandwiches without cheese, and lets be realistic if a sandwich has chicken cutlet, bacon, it needs cheese. That is like serving a greek gyro wrap with no feta or a chicken parm with no melted mozzarella on top. I had to take the sandwich apart and apply my own cheese which was annoying because sandwich lovers know once you assemble the sandwich, it is done you don’t open the hat to add more. It is literally begging for melted cheese and there is no option on uber eats to add cheese. One could argue this is not the restaurants fault; virtually every other restaurant I order off of in uber eats has an option to add you're own preferences. I once had to call this place to tell them not to add ketchup to my sandwich that I ordered because there was no option to edit on Uber eats which is crazy. Some people don’t like ketchup, you can’t expect us to call every time we make an order through an app to say hey no ketchup please that is enough to discourage me from ordering. I don’t like talking on the phone and want to avoid it at all cost hence why I use apps to order. They need to have an option for comments so that people can actually fine tune their order to what they want. When I last picked up my sandwich, I mentioned my lack of cheese complaint and they said you can call us to add it and we will increase the price. The sandwich is expensive enough if adding a slice of cheese is going to boost the price, I am not interested. I worked at restaurants, I have served sandwiches, I know for a fact that adding a slice of cheese will cost them next to nothing so I am not even giving that argument a chance to surface. Even if they did not charge extra for the cheese, I am not calling them to ask to add cheese to my sandwich that is incredibly annoying. I give this place 3 stars because the food itself is decent, but the lack of options on the app and the recommendation to call in orders to get them the way I want is not good enough in 2025. If you order a sandwich from here and have absolutely no edits, this may be the place for you but I never seen a restaurant on uber eats not include that little blurb to add preferences. If they fix this, it would boost them to 4 stars but I can’t give more than 3 with the...

Hey! So I didn’t go to the restaurant, I ordered for delivery. I went to one years ago in Astoria and loved it, so was ecstatic to see that there was one in Jersey! I ordered their Hal’s hero and lemme just say, sis, Hal made it do what it do, YaYa! It was thee perfect ratio from Turkey, to cheese, to mayo, to salt n vinegar chips, to lettuce and tomato, to bread! Just, so well done! The fact that they had salt and vinegar chips? Are you serious?? Babyyyyy, that pickle-y crunch? Please! And thank you. They were not skimpy with the turkey at all. At first, I was wondering if I should order extra turkey, but Compton’s are not doing those Subway portions, babes. They give you what you pay for, hear me?! It is greatly appreciated. Also, a lot of places don’t add enough sauce or mayo. There was the perfect amount of mayo on my Hal’s hero. It is greatly appreciated! I will be ordering again and...

Compton – A Welcome Addition to Cliffside Park

Compton is a delightful new breakfast and sandwich shop located on Anderson Ave in Cliffside Park. I've tried both the Burrata BLT and the New Yorker egg sandwich so far—both were absolutely delicious. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the flavor profiles are superb—thoughtfully balanced and full of flavor.

The space itself is immaculate and effortlessly cool, with a fun, nostalgic vibe thanks to an old-school Pac-Man arcade game and Connect Four boards on every table. They even sell some really cool merch that matches the shop’s unique personality.

Service is impeccable—friendly, fast, and welcoming. The owner is great and clearly passionate about what they do. Compton is a gem, and I’m excited to...
