“I’ve been to a lot of pubs on the east coast, but this one is special. Authentic pieces of Ireland inside and the atmosphere puts you setting in a pub in Dublin.Great place and staff. Food was fresh and served proper. We had the Rusty Irishman drink “ like an old fashioned” and came back a second day to enjoy another round. Great place to rest up and enjoy the east coast before headed into the city. I would recommend a stop and rest over.“

“5 stars for the waitstaff: Hanora and Natalie! I recently hosted a business dinner here and after having hosted a number of them over the years... this, by far, was the most seamless process from beginning to end! I arrived about an hour and a half early because I wanted to ensure that the A/V was on point, since the speaker would be virtual. I received help right when I needed it, as I'm a bit technologically UNsavvy... The private room is perfect for this kind of need. The TV was very centered, no issues with volume, and every table allowed for a unobstructed view. Service was friendly and timely. Very well oiled machine... Food was good as usual. I tried the stuffed chicken, which was juicy and flavorful... mashed potatoes and creamed spinach went perfectly together. And the salad was fresh and delicious. If I ever need another venue for my business dinners, I will try to return to this exact location.“

“The chicken was so moist, not dry at all and that sauces were perfect! Food 9/10, atmosphere is 9/10 (only cause its really loud n hard to talk sometimes but really fun)and 9/10 service I would of gave a 10/10 service if it didn't take so long to sing happy birthday but overall really enjoyed myself here. They have a great staff food n vibe. Great for families or date night.“

“I’ve been coming to Hook and Reel for some time and each time Kamala is our server she greets you with a smile, courtesy and great service. My friends and I are always happy to see her and hope that she’s our server. We always sit in the bar area because we know our experience will be a good one. Today myself and 3 of my friends came to eat and we were excited to see Kamala walk in the door. Kamala is definitely the definition of gracious, humble and attentive. As always exceptional service. PS I hope hook and reel appreciates people like Kamala. Very hard to come by people like this in the service industry. Much respect to her Patrick additionally is always very sweet.“

“I don't know how many times I drove by Wood Stack on Rt 46 without paying any attention to it. Then a family party was held there and I was impressed. The food here is just good. Fresh, plenty of it, and served attractively. It has become one of our go-tos. I especially like the lunch menu - the eggplant sandwich and half salad is my regular order. The pizzas are excellent and the entrees generous and full of flavor. My husband's favorite thing is the chocolate chip cookie and milk dessert, served warm on a wooden board. Service is always consistent too. Great place to have here in town.“

“I have to say this place is top-notch phenomenal ?. I was here with my family for my birthday and Jon was our server. To start we ordered the wings and Burrata as appetizers OMG delicious. For entrees, we ordered the Tomahawk for my husband and I with hand-cut fries and brussel sprouts and my daughter ordered the Boneless Ribeye with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Every single dish tasted like homemade. For dessert, we had the Tres leches and Tiramisu. Tres leches wasn't too sweet and Tiramisu was on point. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a delicious steak.????? stars in my book ?“

“Very nice place and an amazing food. The NY strip is really delicious, soft and creamy when you take at medium cook.The atmosphere is OK, but nothing impressive to make you and your family too excited.The staff serves very well with some kind of emphaty, but not happy as you want to be.Its not a chepeast price in Town, so, if you are getting there, there is a lot of types of food on the menu.“

“Love this little dive bar. The food is amazing! They’ve got crazy awesome happy hour deals wed -fri. $3 domestics… like you’re not gonna find a better HH anywhere.There’s a super hot cook in the back with red hair and he makes the best burgers.Live music on the weekends, trivia and bingo during the week. Don’t sleep on this place, y’all.“

“Visiting from Seattle, WA, and Coniglio’s was absolutely amazing! Pablo and team took great care of our table of 10 and the pizzas we ordered were amazing! No doubt some of the best we’ve ever had and the desserts were excellent! Very much a family atmosphere here.. First class service and we will 100% be back here next time we are in town!“

“Absolutely phenomenal!!!!! Our server Sonya was truly a gem. The decor was warm and charming. The menu was superb!!! The convenience of leisurely having an amazing meal pre-show is golden!!! We traveled in by train from NYC - flawless and easy! We are looking forward to coming back this summer for other shows. Definitely plan to return with friends for the Dinner Mystery Theatre!!! Thank you for a beautiful evening!!?????????“

“If you are an espresso martini lover like myself, you can't miss Stirling Tavern. I can't even count how many espresso martinis I have gotten here over the past couple of years I've visited the adorable Morristown. The bartenders are very consistent with the drink making and I have never had a bad drink here. The ambience in the bar area is very sophisticated and the seating in the front of the bar is the perfect spot. I've also tried some small plates too like the burger bites which I would like to be snacking on right now. The little sliders have goat cheese for a unique twist and really delicious sweet potato fries on the side. I've had both flatbreads too which are a good starter to share with friends and family.“

“Who knew that one of New Jersey's best Italian restaurants would be in a Hampton Inn on Route 46 in Fairfield? Well it is. Just all around great food and service. I would appreciate of the staff hovered a little less looking to take away finished meals!!!“

“very nice menu and the food is always delicious and well prepared. the service was extremely nice today as our appetizer was a bit later than usual so they gave us free appetizer on the house. it was such a wonderful way to be served by a friendly hospitable staff who made sure we had a great dining experience. I would highly recommend Trap Rock.“

“The Huntley Taverne knocks it out if the park every time. When you are in search of great food, service and atmosphere this is it. Their Team is well trained and it makes the overall experience much better than going anywhere else. We love it here.“

“This place is fabulous. The food and service amazing - the atmosphere is gorgeous but on a Thursday evening had a number of very very very loud tables so it got hard to hear conversation at ours - but it is NJ so guess to be expected.Street parking or municipal lot only.“

“The overall feel and ambiance of this restaurant is definitely Korean-vibes. However, the cost of the food is beginning to really climb over these last handful of years. I have gone to this restaurant a bunch of times prior, and most especially prior to 2020. Yet, noticeably, the cost is rising. Ample parking, though. Quality well cooked/home-cooked Korean food and prompt service. Tasty!“

“This place has excellent food and amazing drinks to go along with its awesome atmosphere. It has 2 sides to the restaurant, a dining area, and an awesome bar area with TV's everywhere & tables where you can also sit and eat as well. It is like a Mini Hard Rock Cafe with a ton of classic rock & roll memorabilia & great music. Forgot to mention live music after dinner hours too. Great experience. We will go back there again for sure“

“Food was outstanding per usual! Service was a bit choppy though. Busboy/back waiter was a bit strange in that he asked a few times if we were done with our meal despite us all having forks and knife's in our hands clearly still eating. And the time we were finished, he'd ask, we said yes, and then he walked away? Also, reservation notes were not met. I noted that my father was in a wheelchair and when we got to the table we had to ask for a chair to be removed. On top of that, asked for a high chair to be at the table in the notes for my niece and that wasn't there either. As someone who manages a restaurant in NYC, Oceana Restaurant - I'm the bar manager, I understand that sometimes there are off nights. I'm chalking it up to that, and we will be back for the great food.“

“Wow this place. Total hidden gem. Stumbled across this place and so glad we did. Love the vibe and even better the drinks are out of this world. Fairly priced and well crafted. Great service. We visited twice in one night was so good. Pre dinner and post dinner!! We will be back.“

“We come from Morristown for this gem! Drive over probably weekly with our 3 young children and are always impressed. Family friendly environment in dining room and they are all friendly and accommodating. Great kids menu and fantastic food/beer menu. It’s our favorite spot! Consistently good!“

“Been meaning to review Table 42 many times before. I have the honestly say, the food, the staff and environment are delicious, super friendly and very accomadating. The atmosphere was relaxing and the live musician was the perfect background. I've had apps, entrees and their thin crust pizza and would recommend every dish on the menu. Highly recommend this Dover NJ gem. Enjoy!Parking: Parking located behind restaurant“

“This was the first time we ate in the small “fireplace room,” and it was so cozy and inviting! The food was great as always — wonderful potato leek soup, fresh healthy blackened chicken and farro salad and Caesar salad. Dessert was delicious as well — warm apple cobbler and WH's yummy churros! A neighborhood favorite.“

“The Second Half On Main exceeded my expectations in every way. From the delicious food to the incredibly friendly staff, every aspect of my experience was delightful. The portions were generous, and the prices were surprisingly affordable considering the quality of the food. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying meal in a welcoming atmosphere.“

“Wonderful place ❤️We did not make a reservationAnd they welcomed us very friendly ?they gave us the good drink playing the drum they have when we entered they directed us to the table We were served by a waiter ??‍♂️very friendly with a lot of patience ❤️ the chef ??‍?❤️was very kind and an excellent chef He spoke to us in our Spanish language and cooked very delicious ?? ???? he was very kind ❤️? If God allows it, I will see that restaurant ..“

“This place is great place to watch a game with good food and great drinks, Monica and Tyesha (hope I spelled right) took take of our group with quick and friendly service. Great drinks! I loved the 5 onion soup! A good place to meet after work with the Crew.“

“This was my first time in here as it was for my tuesday night dart league. Its a small bar but as soon as i wakked in and had to get a drink, the bartender made it feel like ive going there for a long time. They do have a bar menu and its a mix of typical bar food/snacks and stuff you wont see at a bar too much. They offer pizza, hot oven pretzels, wings, tenders, fried raviolis, hot dogs, burgers, cheese steaks, buffalo tots (I was sucking on ice for an hour but it was good). So you guessed it, i enjoyed it.“

“Tuesday is karaoke night. The bar is happening but not busy, the music is on but not unmanageable, and the drinks are good. I really enjoyed my time, and the drinks, and the service. I'll only knock the fact that the menu doesn't display prices and the "not IPA craft selection" is pretty bad. Which I know is a tall ask but for 20+ beers is a little bit disappointing.I would totally go back.“

“First off, let's talk about the food. Oh man, where do I even begin? From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I was in for a treat. The flavors are out of this world! Whether you're craving something classic or want to try something totally unique, they've got you covered. And the portions? Let's just say you won't be leaving hungry! Last thing, ask for Sam he was a top notch server and so accommodating!“

“I have 1M on tik tok was there 2-3-24 at 8 pm told manger lady I was blown away said (@grandpaMagic1) told her I was going upload a video to my followers Promote this place and ask folks to meet me there Monday nights for February 2024. Was by $44 bill torn in half ( what’s an extra 25-50 people on a Monday worth ?) no, it was not // FABULOUS $29 rib eye staff 20 stars gonna promote this place possibly gotta see — manager lady needs a lesson on value of social reach to 50,000 locals at a cost of a $29 steak // duh-/ wait, new idea gimme $500 I’ll make two video promos on this joint not one — tried to me nice ❤️❤️❤️ 3 month contract $1,500 paid up front DM ME — I live up on skyline drive morristown — only 1 block from the green so instead of paying $55 to $75 it’s only $29 and is truly fabulous -/ 4 large stars not 5 because TV certainly doesn’t need to be even on with the cool music -/ even their music was good // portions I saw around me big enough for Hulk Hogan and the $18 CALIMARI - I hear is a crazy good I’m joe schroeder IG: @25CashMagnet“

“We loved it here! The food was amazing and well plated. The service was awesome! Very attentive. And the drinks were great. My new favorite Old Fashioned.I can’t wait to come back. We had the salmon and the pork chops. Delicious! I wanted to try everything on the menu!“

“Dined her many times years ago when I worked nearby, it’s been over 20 yrs. It was excellent then, and still is now! Some of the best Italian food you can have. Everything we had was excellent… fresh & full of flavor. It’s a bit out of the way for some, but so worth the trip. I live in Florida and have had many grouper meals, the potato crusted grouper here is ?! The best I ever had. My wife had a chicken dish with pasta that was the bomb. My buddy had the pork chop that was tender and tasty. If you’re looking for a quite atmosphere with great cocktails and fantastic food, you need to make plans to drive to Hibernia Inn ( approximately 3 miles off the Hibernia/Rockaway exit off of Rt 80). This is family owned for many years and they keep bringing a excellent dinning experience. Wish they were in my home town in Florida ?“

“The fresh bread with cheese was excellent. I ordered the grilled octopus (26.00) and was disappointed. I didn't care much for the salad that it came on, since what I was craving is a nice piece of octopus. It was too chewy, overly charred and it didn't seem fresh to me. Overall, it was a nice place and service was good.“

“My manbun chum and I have been trying to find a home to watch our one March Madness game every year, and I think we found it for the foreseeable future. In fact, this time it looks to be a literal home.We stopped by last night to watch my beloved Gonzaga Bulldogs end their tournament run against Purdue. I could go into quite a bit of detail about some very shady calls in the paint and what I think should have been a taunting foul on Purdue's future proctologist Fletcher Loyer, but I digress. As soon as I walked in, I could tell I was going to like it. Prior years have been marred by loud sports bar atmospheres where you have to battle tooth and nail to convince someone to change the channel to something that isn't a mediocre NYC-area sports team (I say this as a Mets fan as well). Liberty was significantly quieter, definitely had an older crowd but also had numerous TVs throughout. The best of all worlds. I walked maybe 10 feet from the entrance, asked the bartender if she could switch the TV to the Zags on TBS, and that was that. Aside from a weird moment in the second half when the TV mysteriously changed to ESPN for a few minutes (we never confirmed the culprit), we had primo viewing of the game. Somehow we also managed to sit down next to a couple whose son was currently at Purdue. What a world.Vibe is everything with a place like this. I did a mild double-take when I realized the bar was located in a literal residential neighborhood in what may be someone's actual house (or at least upstairs). There's a parking lot on the side that had plenty of spots, and overall this was one of the most conveniently located establishments I've ever been to - it's about 30 seconds from Route 78 both ways. Initially I felt bad for the neighbors, but as bars go this is not exactly one that's going to be hosting raucous throwdowns outside or anything. You may actually be able to go to bed at 9pm living next door, which is my personal dream.The interior has a lot of tchotchkes behind the bar, and is surprisingly comfortable/spacious. The game started a little after 7:30pm on a Friday, but there were seats available right in front of the TVs and most of the patrons seemed to be in the back area playing pool. It did get a little more crowded throughout the game, but never to a point where it felt claustrophobic. The clientele demo skewed all over the place - several older codgers looked like they'd been rejected from Rock of Love Charm School (I thought one in particular was a dead ringer for Poison's CC DeVille), but there was also a few young men roaming around and middle-aged couples/singles throughout the establishment as well. Pretty much anyone who would theoretically come into a bar, did.We had a good bartender, who not only accommodated my TV request, but was friendly and accessible throughout our stay. I was in a sweet palate mood, and she offered to make a Hawaiian Volcano, apparently a drink pilfered from her days at TGI Friday's years ago. It's not something I'd necessarily get on a regular basis, but it definitely brought me back to my early legal drinking years for sure. I could taste some Malibu and juice, and sipped them throughout the game. We also got mozzy sticks and a pepperoni bar pie. Both were really decent for what they were, especially the mozzy sticks, which were fried perfectly. I thought the pizza tasted like a giant Bagel Bite, which is not an insult. But let's be clear - this is a dive bar, so it's not like you're wandering into the kitchen and stumbling across Jeremy Allen White from The Bear. You want something fairly tasty to munch on, and we got it.Strong recommend. I think expectations for a dive bar should be pretty simple - comfortable and pleasant. This was certainly that, minus the March Madness heartbreak.“

“Visited TOG to see the band Cold Hill (who were EXCELLENT). This is a smaller Irish bar/pub with a wonderful relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Bar tenders were great, friendly and pleasant. The bar is divided down the center, bar and open area, by a half wall with large opening so you are able to enjoy the band while at the bar or stand/sit in the open area. Music wasn't too loud, still able to talk with friends. Prices were good and I would really love to visit this place again ☘️Parking: We used public parking down behind the Morristown Diner. Just a couple of mins walk to TOG.“

“I found this gem on Yelp, and am so glad I did. Had a burger fries and fresh made chicken soup... out of this world!!! Everything perfectly and correctly made the bun for the burger fantastic, how often do you say that. The decor, reminiscent of your quintessential "hole in the wall" taverns...love it!!“

“We visited The West Essex Diner on a bustling Sunday morning, arriving around noon. Despite the crowd, we were seated within a brief 10-minute wait, which was understandable given the rush. However, the dining experience left much to be desired. I ordered a classic breakfast featuring sunny-side-up eggs with a side of steak and home fries, accompanied by toast and coffee. My friend opted for a western omelet paired with French toast. Disappointingly, the French toast lacked powdered sugar, and despite requesting jelly, our waiter seemed to disappear.The food, unfortunately, was rather lackluster, lacking any distinctive flavor or appeal. While the service was initially prompt, our waiter was notably absent after serving our meals, only reappearing when we requested the check. It was then that he offered more coffee, but by that point, I was already ready to leave. Overall, the experience felt ordinary, and the food failed to surpass what I could have easily prepared at home with more flavor.“

“Most of us ordered the Sirloin Steak. It came out on a hot plate with rice and potatoes on another plate. The steak was quite large and was very juicy. Chimichurry sauce was also very good. The steak cut wasn't the best, but that's the nature of Sirloin. Overall, I enjoyed it. I would probably serve chimichurry sauce in a different type of container (instead of a plastic cup)“

“Adam’s Beer Garden is a secret gem! I’ve driven passed this a thousand times. There is more then enough room to watch all the games. Spread out at this bar there is a bunch of things to do. Play pool, play the lottery, I believe they have a dart board! Go outside where there is even more endless space and challenge someone to foos ball. Before you go outside grab a cigar from their humidor. Then just chill out there in front of a big screen and watch your team win a game. They have a okay selection of cigars to choose from. The cigars are reasonably priced. Lots of beer on tap. We ordered a pitcher you should too! Cash only! Don’t think they sell food.Parking: I parked along the railroad tracks.“

“Love love love this bar. The aesthetic is very nerdy in the best way possible. Love the Nintendo vibes all around. I’ve played pool, shuffle board, and board games here. The upkeep is 10/10. Clean and cute. The trivia nights are also fun to attend. The karaoke nights get a little crowded so try to get there earlier on every off Friday. Korean food next door is also a great plus!“

“Last night my wife and I went to have dinner. The food was absolutley delicious, and the service was outstanding. The prices were extremely reasonable, considering the quality of the food. This is a hidden Gem. Nice cozy and quiet atmosphere. Small place but spaced out enough where you are not on top of the other guests. Shawn and Nicole have done an excellent job. We'll be back!Parking: Parking across the street.“

“As a young girl in 4th grade, my mother enrolled my sister and I into Deutsche schule every Sat from 10-12. Yuk! But we learned German and Germania Park has become a part of my life as my mother and step father were active members. I haven't been in years, but we went yesterday to enjoy excellent German food, Weiss bier, ompa band music and cup pyramids being built! Good ole fun ...“
