Everything on the menu sounds really good, but ends up being a little below what I expected as far as quality goes.

Went here for a quick lunch. Found the food to be fresh and homemade like. I had the soup of the day which was the New England clam chowder. The vegetables were chopped in big chunks which I like. It makes it feel homemade. The soups was not as creamy as you would think but still good. The tuna salad sandwich was awesome. I know you’re thinking tuna salad, awesome? But it was. It was seasoned nicely and the veggie were super fresh. Will be back for more.

Cook to Order catered my wedding and I could not be happier with the amazing job they did! My husband and I got married about a month ago, and our guests are still gushing over how great the food was! The staff was fantastic and really went the extra mile. Our wedding was held at a township owned museum which required us to clean everything up within 24 hours of the wedding; the CTO staff took care of this for us, without charging extra for it (they even broke down and prepared everything for the rental companies). Brendan, the owner, was so nice and helpful in helping us plan everything. I must have emailed him a million questions leading up to the big day and he always got back to me promptly and in a way that kept me at ease.
I hope my sister doesn’t see this but… the caterer for her wedding cost almost three times as much and was nowhere near as good!(sorry Robin).
Obviously, I highly recommend Cook to Order.

Ate here for the first time tonight with my wife. We took the order out but the restaurant looked clean and nice.
We got calamari, the CTO Burrito with chicken, Reuben and Roast beef with au jus. The burrito even came with a small side salad. Also, excellent!
All 4 items were incredible. Many more items we want to try on the menu as well (pizza, appetizers, entrees) so it’s going to be a family feud next time we order from here not to get something we already know we liked!
The prices were so reasonable — $ 31 for 4 items is $ 7.75 per dish. Can you beat that??? Let me answer, no you can’t.
This place is less than a mile from our house so I foresee them receiving many of our dining out dollars in the future. :)

A few business colleagues and I had lunch here today. As the other reviewers mentioned, the food is very good. The Angus cheeseburger, pulled pork sandwich and shepherd’s pie, a special, were delicious. The staff was friendly and efficient. The bathroom was extremely clean. The music was very good — Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, etc. My only minor complaint was that the table was not wiped off when we sat down; however, In fairness, the restaurant was packed and we got the last table.

We chose Cook to Order to cater our daughter’s wedding reception because we have had lunch and dinner there many times and the food and service are always excellent. Owner and head chef Brendan Stokes is a pleasure to work with — friendly, responsive and accommodating. The reception was held at a local farm and the menu theme was BBQ, but not your standard BBQ. Great appetizers and a buffet with multiple excellent entrée choices and wonderful salad and vegetable accompaniments. The catering staff were not just going through the motions — they were friendly, helpful and appropriately engaged with our guests. We received many positive comments about the food and the service and we can highly recommend Cook to Order as a great choice to cater special events.

This place is definitely worth a try if you like your food fresh. Me and my friend ate here twice over the summer and love it. They have a really nice seating area inside too.

Been here a few times, need to hit it more often for dinner to get a good opinion formed but I can say for breakfast and lunch, they are pretty good.
Pork Roll Egg and Cheese on a nice Kaiser roll — done right.
Breakfast burrito is a big breakfast, tasty
Flank steak sandwhich had a nice sauce, great potato salad side
French toast was decent, not great
we haven’t had dinner there in years but will be back to give it a try again. It was good from what I remember.

My sister and brother-​in-​law held their rehearsal dinner at Cook To Order and it was absolutely wonderful! There was a special menu for the party so I did not get full run of the menu that night, but the crab cakes were delicious and everyone was raving about their food which makes me eager to return and try the rest of the menu.
The food was delicious, the space was nicely decorated and had a great atmosphere for the party and the serving staff was fantastic! I can’t wait to visit again!

Had a very nice dinner tonight! We shared an app. Of calamari which was okay. The breading was a little heavy and too brown (May be it will be better next time). For our entrée, I had the Fish and Chips which was great! The batter was very light and the fish was so fresh and delish!!! My husband had the Cajun Salmon which was cooked beautifully and was delicious too. We were very pleased with the service and price point. I saw some of their other offerings in the past on Facebook and Unilocal pictures and we will return. I love Prime Rib and Porterhouse steaks and I saw that the chef sometimes has those as an offering so we will watch for those in the future!!!

The food here is fantastic! The place isn’t too fancy but our waiter was great and the food was absolutely amazing! Went here last night and we both got the surf and turf special which was a 6oz filet (cooked perfectly), 2 scallops (also perfect), sautéed spinach, and mashed potatoes. Forgot to take a picture before I started eating because it all looked and smelled so amazing! Will definitely go back!

No wonder the «Fish N Chips» were Fantastic the owner is British :-)
I have never seen such an exquisite Fish and Chip dish in the East Coast!!! And you can substitute your fries!
This was not processed fish. «Cook To Order» served me a FRESH flakey whole fish w/​tail, larger than my dish and homemade red mash potatoes !!! All for $ 18 !!!

Unilocal removed my review so I am reposting:
I don’t care if your food is ridiculously delicious. You can’t make a pork roll egg and cheese after 11:30 a.m. You deserve zero stars. Fail.
The owner responded which I appreciated (his response was also deleted… thanks for that too Unilocal). I’ll be back to try again… I’ll reassess my rating after that.
According to Unilocal:
We wanted to let you know that we’ve removed your review of Cook To Order. Our Support team has determined that it falls outside our Content Guidelines (
) because it lacks a substantive consumer experience. When reviewing, please describe your actual experience with a business.
Ok…so here you go Unilocal… the roast beef au jus sandwich was ridiculously delicious. Is that substantive enough for ya?

All I’ve ever had is the bacon egg and cheese but it is the best I’ve ever had. Several PERFECTLY cooked fried eggs — still velvety but not runny — layered with the perfect balance of cheese and bacon on a kaiser. Why would I order anything else?

Had the calamari, shrimp Alfredo, surf and turf on the menu and surf and turf special. So very good and the steaks were perfectly prepared and grilled. The Alfredo sauce was perfect, not too creamy or thick. I would eat here now before going to Matt’s. It is great to have a casual dining place to come as a family with such good food! Yum!
The service was great and friendly as always.
Great portions… One day I will remember to save room for dessert!
