20 Best Bars near Branchburg

“The Royal is a bit like walking back in time. Place hasn't changed much over the years. It was old 30+ years ago, except now there's friendlier feeling. Could have something to do with the girls. They're all very friendly and happy. I used to go there for lunch way back in the day (like 30+ way backs) when we worked on Saturdays. Back then you had to walk over to the dinner side to order what you wanted for lunch and they would bring it over to the bar side. Started going again a year or 2 ago for dinner on Saturdays with my bride.. They even know what drinks we're we want now when we walk in. Speaking of walking in. Don't be put off if all the seats are taken. There's plenty of tables in the back. All in all a great little no frills bar.“

“Excellent food and cocktails.“

“We visited Willie McBride’s on a Saturday afternoon because of their gluten free menu items. There are several GF items, and they have a dedicated fryer. My daughter enjoyed the GF chicken fingers and steak fries. I had the fish and chips, and my wife had pulled pork sliders. The food was very good. We will definitely return soon to try other items on their Irish pub menu.“

“Great service, classy, food is always fresh and delicious..drinks are great 💯 recommend.“

“Verve was hitting on all cylinders last night as we dined with friends. We were seated promptly. Cocktails were well made but did take too long to order and get to the table- something we were willing to overlook once food started arriving. All of our apps were super- chicken buns, pork belly, oysters and calamari’s shared amongst the 5 of us. Everyone raved about their entrees , steaks, lamb and salmon flavorful and perfectly cooked. Desserts were good but could have taken some more effort. Service was competent and professional but wasn’t perfect. All in all a great evening, expensive but good price to value and not out of line with local prices“

“Just spent St. Patrick's Day here. Live music, step dancers, amazing bag pipes, incredible food and a great price. They really shamrocked it this year. Our waiter was outstanding too!“

“My corporate office is close by so I have been here several times over the past few years. As of this week they rolled out a new menu and I was definitely impressed. The selections are more varied and the quality also seems to have improved. I will say the staff and drinks have always been top notch, so no improvement needed there. Happy to see the menu change and save myself some DoorDash fees on my future trips!

PS - make sure you see Micael (Mickey) if you come!“

“They have great bloody Mary’s. Bloody Flight was a great choice to try all types they offer. Food was excellent and came out fast. Definitely recommend and will go back“

“Amazing food and service.“

“I had my husband 60th birthday party in the Banquet Room. Giving the BIGGEST shout out Jen, Spencer and John who made it the best party ever. Walked me through every step from planning, ordering and choosing the right menu. It was the greatest party by far that we ever had. Bigger shout out to the bartender Julia and hostess Gabby. They are truly the best we ever had. The food was delicious and plates never empty. The party was a great success thanks to all at Alfonso's. Highly recommended. All you have to do is show up and they handle everything. Everyone who attended all commented how great of a party it was. I was so proud to have chosen Alfonso's. Thank you all!!!!!“

“Love the appetizers and the great bourbon selections“

“As a local DJ entertainer, the Landing has become a venue in which we perform quite regularly. The staff is always welcoming, professional, and accommodating and truly understands the catering business and what it takes to throw an exceptional celebration. It's always a pleasure to work alongside and partner with them for our shared client events. The food is excellent and prices are reasonable.“

“So sad that when my sisters wedding was canceled on BY THE RYLAND INN cause of covid and rescheduled and only had the options of a couple Sundays even though they PAID for a SATURDAY the would NOT switch the price or give her a SATURDAY like they PAID for...shame on you ryland inn awful buisness practice“

“This little gem was quite the pleasant surprise on our way through NJ. Wings are crispy skin and tender, the onion rings are perfect with the chipotle aioli and the mozzarella wedges had about a foot of cheese pull! My husband had the Rail burger. He couldn’t finish it because it was so big. One patty but about an inch thick and actually fits the whole bun. Daughters had the poke bowl and chicken quesadillas. So much food and they both said both things were the best they’ve had in their life (14 and 16) and they’ve had those A LOT!

Staff was friendly and I felt bad there was really only one person serving all tables at lunch plus bartending. Service didn’t slack because of this! She kept up with all tables and she busted her butt!

I cannot give this place enough kudos. Great food, amazing service!! In a quiet little town but would be worth the drive to go here again from Ohio. Go check them out. It’ll be worth it!“

“The service is great and so friendly!! We have to have the Hog Wings…delicious!!“

“Thanksgiving to remember!!! My family of three spent the holiday dining on the buffet feast provided. Turket, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, BBQ ribs, chicken , fish, pasta were rivaled by the cast array of mouth watering deserts and great service.“
