The Garden State Grill Reviews
Great place to eat will go back again.
Great place. Friendly staff. Will go back. Thank you!
Third visit, plan on many more. Food is excellent, and not being from the Northeast, had to ask about some of the menu items. Portions are more than generous. The Garden State Buger was the best hamburger I have ever tasted! Meat balls are to die for. French fries are top notch. Service is excellent, and Ben (the owner) takes time to visit with the guests. I'm planning to bring friends who are from New Jersey to hear their impressions. New favorite restuarant. Worth drive. Go...read full review

The Garden State Grill is a dependable and versatile restaurant that offers a consistently good dining experience. The menu features flavorful dishes, including seasonal specials such as the Greek salad with chicken, burger, fried ravioli, and grilled chicken. Customers frequently praise the French fries with gravy, calling them phenomenal. The restaurant is also popular for its great beer selection. Service is friendly and attentive, with staff and management creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Known as a local favorite, the restaurant is famous for its delicious meatball subs and buffalo chicken sandwiches. The owner, Ben, takes pride in the business and regularly adds new items to the menu. All sauces are made in-house, and the bartender is appreciated for her friendly service. Recent reviews highlight the very delicious food, with highlights like the ribs—described as some of the best ever, falling off the bone with tasty BBQ sauce—and the beans. The fish fry was also enjoyed and considered delicious. Customers also liked the Caesar salad with plenty of dressing, the wings that are not breaded too much and easy to eat, and the seafood chowder, which was good but could use a little tweak. Overall, the service is great and attentive, making it a wonderful place to eat. Many customers have returned multiple times, eager to enjoy more meals with family and friends.
