“The Tavern was able to host our post-funeral luncheon on just a few days notice. While they don’t have a private room their space was nicely laid out to accommodate our party of around thirty. We chose a limited menu and everything was very good with the pot roast beef getting especially high marks. Special thanks to Carol and her hard working staff who made this event stress free for my family.“

“Had a great experience with Davidovich Bagel Cafe. This is exactly what you want from a local bagel spot—fresh, high-quality bagels with that perfect texture and flavor.

I got the sausage, egg, and cheese bagel, and it was excellent—simple, classic, and done right. You can tell everything is made with care, and the consistency really stands out.

The staff are friendly and efficient, and everything feels very well-run. The owner was also a pleasure to talk to, which added to the whole experience. The art on the wall adds a nice touch to the atmosphere and gives the place extra character. It has that classic neighborhood feel with lots of regulars coming in, which says a lot.

If you’re looking for one of the best bagel spots in Madison NJ or the surrounding area, this is definitely worth checking out“

“🔥 54 Main Bar & Grille is the spot! 🔥 From juicy smashed burgers to fully loaded nachos, every bite hits different. 🍔🤤 The vibe? A perfect mix of lively and laid-back—whether you're out with friends or just unwinding. 🍻✨ Service was on point, drinks were flowing, and the energy was just right. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out! Who’s down for a trip back? 👀🙌 #FoodieFind #GoodVibesOnly“

“Delicious everything so fresh“

“I worked at J&M for years and this was the best nearby place for lunch when tips were good on a Saturday. I realized over the years that this is by far the best sloppy joe sandwich anywhere in north New Jersey. I now live in the greater Philadelphia area, and still bring a cooler with me when I travel to the Madison area to bring a few of these sandwiches back with me to enjoy. So happy to see they are still in business, glad that some good things never change!“
