These burgers are legendary! The giant ball of ground beef that they squish into a patty is epic and makes the patty super tender. It's been ten years since I was here and it's better than I remember!

If you think you've had the best burger of your life, you haven't had a krug burger! Softball sized,sizzled perfection!!! The wings are also a must with the house secret sauce! And the service is second to none, 10 stars!!!Parking: Enough to accommodate the people attending but at times crowded and a bit difficult to find

Good food and drinks, friendly service, and welcoming atmosphereWe were told that we had to go to Krug’s for the best burger. We went with the bacon cheeseburger and the burger with pastrami, with a side of onion rings to share. Since the menu said it takes half an hour to make a burger, we got chicken fingers and French fries to start.Chicken fingers & French fries: good, nothing extra special. The fries were steak fries and not the best. Came with a honey mustard sauce that was heavy on the mustard.Bacon cheeseburger (medium): so good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but thick and juicy and perfectly cooked. A ton of bacon, which is never bad.Burger with pastrami: the pastrami was fried, I think? It was almost like bacon, and it was great. It’s a really unique burger and delicious.Onion rings: we ordered them because of a review that said they were the best someone had ever had. They were…good. You could bite and not have the whole onion pull out, but you had to bite down hard.Peanut butter old fashioned: delicious. Wonderful. Magical. They didn’t have cherries, but it didn’t matter. It was the exact perfect amount of liquor to make everything about the day and night better.Service: everyone was busy but alsoIncredibly nice and helpful. They weren’t necessarily around when you needed them, but if you asked for something, they were always happy to help.Atmosphere: it seems like a neighborhood institutions kind of place, and if I lived nearby, I would want to hang out here all the time to make friendly with the regulars and listen to the 90s music.

I make a complaint here because I was disrespected. I called to place an order for pick up, but the person who answered the phone was very rude, poor service. People seem racist and xenophobic to me. I felt completely disrespected.

What can be said about this place that hasn’t already been said a million times already? Legendary 12 ounce burgers. Great service. 1,000% authentic Jersey experience. All that. To me though the best part is the grill. Look at it. It’s almost as if it was an afterthought, like, sure, let’s put a grill right here, behind the bar, why not? Then they just start making these incredible burgers, cooked to absolute perfection, right there in front of you. FOR DECADES. Yup. (Is that you, Joyce?) I was there at 3 in the afternoon on a weekday and barely got a parking spot; by the time I left, the lot was full. So plan to find parking elsewhere or take public transit. But whatever you do, if you’re in town, do NOT miss this place. It’s everything the reviews say, and more.

I visited visited this establish mint last night and was very disappointed. We had a party of 6 and with a 12 year old and 4 year old. The place was busy. However, it took over an hour to get our food, and I counted 6 people who sat down after us who got burgers before our table did. I drank 3 beers before getting our food, and I wasn't drinking fast. They server burgers I, you can see them cooking from where we were seated......After getting out burgers, my 4 year old got her grilled cheese last.So they're policy is that they attach a twenty percent gratuity to parties over five. They tipped themselves 25 bucks and ironically. I was going to tip the waitress 30 bucks. Because I know that it wasn't her fault that the burgers took so long to cook. However they short changed themselves.I have been coming to this place for almost 20 years but haven't been in a few years. Before this, I would have rated them 5* across the board. Does few burgers that taste as good? That's this place however, during this visit. They shouldn't even ask how I like my Burger cook. Because they did not cook it that way.
