Welcome to Roberts Scratch Kitchen. We are a fine dining continental cuisine BYOB scratch kitchen restaurant located in Totowa New Jersey. Serving lunch and dinner with daily specials, offering a full Gluten Free Menu. Our modern spacious dining room is finely detailed, cozy, and relaxing, with a trendy classy feel.
At RSK our food is made from scratch. We do not use any ready-made prepared foods. Our kitchen has no freezer. Food is purchased fresh daily. Meals are homemade in the restaurant kitchen just a few feet from where you are dining. We also ask to bare with us as it is hard to find staff and we try to keep the prices as low as possible due to the high food costs these days and also trying to find the product in these strange times. We only use top of the line high quality provisions. On weekends we have a 90 minute table time for 2 tops and 2 hour table time for larger then that on the earlier seatings.

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday, and it was definitely the best food I’ve ever had in my life. From the appetizer to the entrees to dessert, everything was absolutely flawless and an amazing experience. The service was phenomenal, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. This restaurant is a gem of the area and I will absolutely be returning. I got the Halibut with the spinach and sweet potato, and it was off the charts good. My girlfriend got the wasabi crusted Tuna with rice and veggies which was also absurdly delicious and perfectly cooked. We also got the mussels in a pesto sauce as our appetizer, as well as the Lava cake to finish . Overall, an unforgettable dinner and we will be returning and telling everyone about this place!!

The 1st time I went to Robert’s was very good, which prompted this night out for my mother’s bd. Food was mediocre at best. The special, flounder was just ok, 2 in our party had chicken parm-the chicken was burned. The gnocchi bolognese was good.
