I Visited for a second time, my brother and wife come here often. You can choose between been indoors or outdoors. Either way I have enjoyed. Their burgers are so full of flavor that I really enjoyed mine till the last bite, and their Buffalo wings are so yummy. Drinks are well served the Bartenders are friendly, service here is excellent, I definitely will return when I visit again!

Service was exceptional. Food was good for bar food. I had a cheeseburger. The atmosphere was great until a run-in with a local drunk who thought he owned the place. Was a total jersey douche and wanted to fight me for bringing my backpack in the bar with me. So much for trying a local bar while in town from Minnesota . I wouldn’t recommend for late night dining if you “don’t fit in”.

I have been coming here on occasion for over 40 years. An old school bar that has stood the test of time. These days, my visits are for a lunch stop when I’m in the area because their food is always delicious!

Three stars because the people and atmosphere and beer here are great, as is the food USUALLY, and I live in the neighborhood so I go a lot…but I ordered the fish and chips for the first time ever (from them) and was so grossed out that I had three bites…and I’m still struggling to get to work on time, to avoid the graphic details. The fish is a mealy, rubbery conglomeration of matter that doesn’t look like fish in any separate, even tiny, section. Guys, please know that it made me sick and must be doing the same to others, unless they’ve spent a lifetime building a tolerance. I eat other items on your menu and crave them again and again, so this seems to be an anomaly. Thought you should know.

The bar was busy. Looked like one large party and there was someone at most every table. It isn’t large so manageable would be my description. I ordered a chicken sandwich special. Fries were good. The “grilled” chicken breast was bland and looked like it came from the bag of chicken breasts that may or may not be pressed meat and no indication of being grilled other than at least it wasn’t cold. I ordered a beer and a water. I got the beer and had to flag someone down to get the water when I had finished my beer. My wife has a Reuben. She said it was okay. Not much to elaborate on there I think. The atmosphere was loud and had a locals kind of vibe. The service was average at best. Forgetting my water. Appearing to make sure no eye contact was made after delivery of our meal. Seeing the Bartender just sitting at the bar talking with their friends when we could have used some attention. I mentioned it was busy but we saw some tables get checked on while we were there so maybe it was a visitor thing. Who knows? Overall it was convenient and close to our hotel. It has parking. We were fed. I wouldn’t say don’t go but I definitely wouldn’t recommend going out of my way to check it out. In today’s words… MEH…

During my initial visit to this bar, which happened when I accompanied my wife to her hair appointment, I decided to wait for her and stumbled upon this establishment. The waitresses were pleasant, but unfortunately, the men’s bathrooms were in a deplorable state, covered in rust. It was quite disheartening to encounter such unsanitary conditions, especially in New Jersey where I’ve come across similarly unpleasant places. Regrettably, the next day I fell ill and sought medical attention at Urgent Care, where I tested positive for Covid-19. Thankfully, I had received my booster shot, but this experience has been painful, prompting me to share this review as a reminder to be cautious in untidy places, as Covid is still a concern.
