“Fun place to hangout, been going there for years now. Many memories to the place. Plenty of space inside for large size groups, plenty of free parking. This place is close to the 287 highway exit 5. Best time is during the fall - when they lit the fire outside - this place is always occupied, and busier over the weekends.They could definitely improve on the starters, the same old fries, tenders, calamari - most of it seems frozen food cooked to perfection and served. Not that it is bad in any way - but if they improve am sure the crowd will be much happier.“
“We arrived early and were able to be seated. I made reservations for their new room, the “Cove” advertised as more intimate. Thinking quiet, perfect for date night. There were 2 large tables of 8 or more. Tables close together so noise level was at a high. Food was good. Lobster bisque, prawns, sea bass, pappardelle.“
“I absolutely love this place. Everything is fresh and delicious. These dogs are creative, are made in house, and the options are endless. I am consistently going back to try them all.Vegetarian options: Can switch out any hot dog with a soy dog“
“I gave it 4 stars because I got the all you can eat and the gratuities were already on the bill and I didn't notice until after I got home so I tipped extra. It would be nice if they told you 2 people are automatic gratuity or all you can eat is automatic gratuity. They might be doing this for one person in the union location for all I know!“
“Wonderful birthday dinner with family. The fois gras was amazing. Everyone had different first courses but each one was so enjoyed-including mussels and salad. Main courses were all a treat. Especially the Dover Sole cooked and deboned tableside. So buttery delicious. The evening special of red snapper was excellent. The steak was perfectly prepared as was the chicken with a delicious sauce. Dessert included chocolate mousse - almost as thick as a pot de crème - such an indulgence. The soufflé was a black raspberry which you could smell prior to its appearance at the table. Yum!!!! Always delicious with wonderful service in a pretty dining area.“
“Went for lunch to try this place as they do specialize in marathi food.Sevice was fast and really good and fast. We did have a chance to talk to the owners as well and they are very friendly people. The interiors are also really good.Chaas- 5/5( loved it )Vada pav-4/5( felt like the vada was refried but taste was good)Rava fried prawns- 4/5( prawns felts a little undercooked for my taste)Tandoori promfret - 5/5( fish was juicy and good)Jeera rice-5/5Garlic rice-5/5Dal kanda- 3/5(was spicy for me and as well the garam masala taste was overpowering)Chicken xacuti- 4/5( chicken felt little undercooked otherwise was close to a xacuti curry)“
“Made a reservation through Resy app and had no issues getting a table for 4. Upon arrival, there was plenty of free parking in their parking lot. We were greeted and promptly taken care of by our hostesses after walking in. After our group had all arrived, we decided to order a bunch of small plates and a couple pizzas, so as not to completly engorge ourselves. We ordered the Bao Buns, Chicharron Arancini, Buffalo Cauliflower, Salmon Crudo, Truffle Friesm Goat Cheese & Bacon Pizza, and Broken Burrata Pizza. Each bite was super flavorful and delicious. Our favorites were the Buffalo Cauliflower and Arancini. Both pizzas were also super tasty. The crunch of the thin crust made it so enjoyable. We ended our night with a sliver of Tiramisu. Just enough to finish off the meal without feeling overly stuffed. 10/10 would highly recommend.“
“I first came to this place a year ago for my birthday. I didn't come back because it brought back not-so-good memories of that year. Fast forward a year later and friend wanted to come and so I said ok, lets give it a go. It was a good decision.After waiting about 10 minutes to see the host/hostess, we were seated quickly upstairs. I cannot express how great the service was, from the bus boys to our great waitress, Allison (sp), who made the evening extra special. Both she and the boys made me blush and made that dining experience very memorable, so THANK YOU!The food were amazing. The bread was good. The appetizer we chose, I believe it was the octopus, was GREAT! I ordered the Jersey pizza and it was fresh and delicious. My friend ordered the Peppa Pig pizza and it sure was meaty. Both pizzas were actually large enough for two to share. My other friend ordered pasta and she seemed to have enjoyed it, and she ordered the half size so it was just the perfect portion for her. And for dessert, we had to order a cake... and it came with a surprise. A very pleasant surprise so again, THANK YOU very much to the staff. I just wish my mojito (or was it a margarita?) had less ice and more drink lol.So, from the atmosphere to the food and to the great staff, I'd definitely keep coming back again.“
“Stopped in to check out the place for a private party. Had a quick fancy drink, that was amazingly delicious! The owner is very friendly and the place is as clean as a whistle! Definitely coming back hereParking: Had to circle around a few times to find parking. Someone left so I was lucky!“
“Went on a Sunday afternoon to watch some NFL Playoff football. Bartenders were fast/friendly, drinks were cold/served perfect, and food was good. There are TV's everywhere, so there really isn't a bad seat. Great atmosphere, friendly crowd, with a sports bar look and feel. Plenty of parking and bathrooms are spotless. When in town again, we will definitely stop in.“
“Tons of wing flavors, I haven’t tried ALL of them, but I plan to. The wings them self are meaty, and cook crispy. I LOVE that. Pricing is regular, drinks are so good! The service was ON POINT and I can’t wait to come back and try more win flavors!“
“Great food and energetic environment. Worth every penny if you want good seafood as well as other great pasta dishes! Try the calamari, crispy lobster dumplings and Italian sausage appetizers, you can't go wrong with either one! The pappardelle bolognese is amazing, my favorite dish thus far. The surf & turf is amazing as well, it will not disappoint!“
“Definitely a five star experience!!! We arrived just before happy hour ended (4-5:30) and they were kind enough to place a quick order of oysters!!! They were super fresh and delicious... favs were west coast (sorry NJ). Next, came the Parker rolls!!! Probably my favorite part of the meal, but then again, who doesn't like homemade, freshly baked rolls with buttered top and a touch of salt!!! Because everything looked so good, we opted for a bunch of other appys to start! The New Zealand angus beef bites were served with horseradish aioli and a Parker roll, the halloumi cheese was accompanied by orange slices, prosciutto, radicchio and dehydrated olives. The octopus was spectacular... crispy with romanesco sauce, fried chickpeas, cilantro and paprika breadcrumbs. Of course, we had to also try the OHS mussel pot... with chorizo, saffron, garlic cream, sun dried tomatoes... and an herbed garlic roll on top!!! LOVED THEM ALL! It's not often that so many different, but complimentary flavors are presented in each dish!!! We could have stopped our meals there and would have been pleasantly satisfied and full! Next, we chose a couple of the sirloin sandwiches with fries, and the squid ink pasta with Calabrian chili and Meyer lemon breadcrumbs!!! All was very good. The evening was finished with 3 of their delicious desserts... the lemon meringue tart was the perfect sweet with a pucker. The molten dark chocolate cake was decadent. And the trio of gelatos were each so uniquely flavorful and delicious! Wow!!! Given that 100 steps is a BYOB, it makes everything even more affordable! We had spectacular service in this beautiful restaurant with amazing food! It was quite a special evening!“
“Great tiny hole in the wall,old school bar but awesome food the Chef Hector is so kind and cares about what he serves. I had the Munkee sandwich Grilled chicken spinach Swiss with a garlic aoile delicious . Husband had the cheese Steak awesome amount of steak. Definitely will go back. Great service from Crystal.“
“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.“
“I was impressed with this restaurant, we enjoyed the food as well as the ambiance and service. I came for a business lunch. Ate inside the porch area that was enclosed. I thought the service was very good in terms of attentiveness. The food we got was flat bread pizza for appetizer, pepperoni with hot honey was delicious. The burger tasted great cooked perfectly when I ordered a medium, presentation was nice as I ordered a salad instead of French fries. Most importantly they had Aqua Pana for water. I did think the prices were a bit inflated and expensive however their service made up for it.“
“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.“
“Great place to go get a drink. They have also good snacks, appetizers and food. The place is cozy and the bands that play there on the weekends are great. . The staff is always welcoming with a gentle smile and nice greeting. It is a place to go to!!!“
“Great selection of cocktails, wines, beers, etc! It's a small and cozy space with seating at the bar and smaller tables/barrels. There is a private room in the back that can be reserved as well. I tried the yuzu cocktail and it was light and refreshing. The margherita pizza was good as well. Service was quick and attentive. They also sell a limited selection of alcohol. Would definitely return!“
“Always love the food here, classic bar food along with some Irish specials and creative fusion dishes. I've never had anything bad from them. Service is always pretty good never had a bad experience. Love coming here with my family for special occasions but the bar scene is pretty popular too if that's more your speed. Highly reccomend!“
“I love this place! Good quality food, nice employees + all employees are on top of their service. Fun place to eat and enjoy drinks. All employees are welcoming, especially Ashley. She's fun and friendly. No complaints whatsoever of this place, highly recommend for anyone looking for quick service, quality food, and a good time. 5 stars!“
“I recently attended an event here where we primarily stayed outside on the patio. The food served was great and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. The outside bar served our needs and we had a great time. The only issue is there is not enough parking but you can park next door in the corporate plaza with no issues. Thanks.“
“33's Tavern has slammin’ tacos and great wings! I’ve had the fish tacos multiple times before and they never disappoint. Today was the first time we got wings and they were big and juicy! My husband got the steak tacos and they were also scrumptious! They are located right on Old Bridge Turnpike! (There is one wing missing that was consumed before I thought about sharing this gem!) 33’s is a bar, but you can totally go in and eat and/or grab takeout! Prices are extremely reasonable for what you get! ??“
“The place is just fun to eat at; great lighting, fun decorations. All our food was great, and the create your own taco menu was AWESOME! Prices were very reasonable as well, and staff was on point. (Went here before a show at the State Theater)“
“This review is mainly about the bar and entertainment at Rocky's Bar and Grill. Since I have never eaten there (yet) I am not rating the food. First, with so many local bars having entertainment closing/closed since covid, I'm greatful for those surviving and some thriving providing musical entertainment whether it be karaoke, DJ or live music to its patrons. Been going to Rockys, which is about 25 miles away for me for years on occasion primarily to see classic and hard rock bands, mostly cover bands perform. There is ampke room between the band and patrons if they decide to dance and seating surrounding the open floor area. People attending all seem to be there to have a good time and have never seen any issues. The bar is not fancy and that's alright with me. They have a back area outside with tables for sitting, drinking, private conversation, smoking, etc. which works for me. There is a parking lot behind the bar and usually fills quickly when a band is playingweekend nights. The staff are attentive, hustle to serve everyone and are generally friendly. Drink prices are reasonable and pour seems standard for (my) mixed drinks. The bar reminds me a little bit like Moby's in Woodbridge but with more room to see/enjoy the band. If you're into live music I would recommend going to Rockys to see some of the local bands. Saw both Kathouse and Stereo Circus bands there and loved them both. Love a place that supports live music. Will be back!!“
“We met our friends here on a Friday night. Nice Irish pub. Not very busy at all for a Friday night, no problem getting a table. Our friends had eaten already so they just had drinks. My husband & I had cheesesteak & French dip sandwich, both were really delicious. Our server was very nice,friendly, food came out very quick. I normally hesitate to order roast beef sandwiches because sometimes, its really stringy, this meat was delicious & piled high. I opted for mashed potatoes instead of fries, so good“
“My family and I were big fans of this restaurant but today’s meal for some of us was somewhat disappointing. I was also surprised how high the prices have gotten on many of the more simple fare dishes - especially for Sunday lunch. Like $22 for a grilled chicken sandwich and almost $40 for crab cakes. We usually dine at similar restaurants but prices here seemed higher than average while dining in a tent with exposed plywood. Many times we had to search for a server and the apple cobbler in a nutshell - was terrible. It was like eating an undercooked mouthful of raw batter with cooked apples. Honestly- the house has some work to do if they want to charge these prices . I mean, I have had wonderful experiences here before, but today missed the mark.“

“It is so amazing to be back here again. I have been to so many places in Vegas, Texas and California. I can honestly say, this is one of the best places to relish Indian cuisine in NJ.In addition new Menu, the Ambience, Food Quality, Robots at service and bar just make the mare go. I can come here any-day and be sure of best quality, freshness and cuisine in town. Also Usha ji just attends to every guest as if he/she is family member. There is no need to think of 2nd option if you are in this area and have Indian taste buds x All are good reasons to go again.“
“Always a great time here, food is delicious and the alcohol is actually good. Never felt sick after drinking margs here even the next day. The food is large portions and always delicious. Recommend getting apps and margs then sharing tacos because we always fill up after we ate that. The wait typically isn’t bad and there’s always been space at the bar to wait. Would recommend it here if you are looking for good Mexican food“
“Hi Colleen & Oh’ Brian Staff,Thank you for everything YOU personally did to go above and beyond to make today happen for our family’s celebration. The atmosphere, the positive energy, level of preparedness, attentiveness to our guests were all amazing. Arriving at Oh’Brian’s from a solemn service to warm, welcoming staff was really wonderful. As guests arrived, they were brought to our private seating area and offered beverages and drinks from the bar. As people were greeting and gathering and getting situated, it was clear, staff was attentive and present.As discussed having the buffet style, everything was set and organized.People raved about the Garden Salad; The hot food entrees were phenomenal and plentiful; our guests felt comfortable heading up to get another plate. None of our guest felt rushed at any time and were grateful for being asked for drink refills. The bar service/staff was fantastic. The timing of the desserts was perfect. Despite the drizzly, dreariness of the day, guests took advantage of the canopied outdoor seating area-which is also lovely.We realize a restaurant works as a team, and this team was fabulous. Again, thank you, Colleen, for your open communications, input/feedback, flexibility and sharing various options for alternate layouts for accommodations. Again, planning something like this, there’s a deeper appreciation of having staff immediately demonstrate sincere kindness and understanding. Our family is truly grateful for the entire staff’s professionalism throughout this event. We would recommend Oh’ Brian’s for any family gathering, work event, get-together or to meet up with friends for food & drinks at this great, local place.Vegetarian options: Wide selection of various salad entreesMultiple vegetables side dishesGreat selection of pasta dishes with multiple choices of meatless sauces (marinara, pink vodka, etc)Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options; dishes with meat could be prepared withoutSome Menu options are naturally gluten freeWide Variety of Salad ChoicesPlenty of pasta dishesPotatoes (not fried) gluten freeMeats- ask about specific marinades (some are gluten free)Chicken- can be grilled w/o marinade (GF)Parking: Gigantic, well lit, parking lot-Equipped with separate curb cuts with clear signage for entering and exiting the lotKid-friendliness: Kids’ menu/ relaxed environmentWheelchair accessibility: Many handicap parking spaces availableADA accessible rampNo stairs required to gain entry or entrance to dining areaRestrooms are also on the same main floor“
“Oh, how I wish I lived closer to this awesome establishment! A flavor of Dublin close to home. Fine looking pub inside and out. Lots of beers to choose from and great traditional Irish fare. Loved every minute of being here. Great service from beginning till end. Only complaint was they were missing County Mayo's flag at time of our visit“
“This is always, always my go to place for a great craft draft. In the midst of the Heineken and Sam Adams they have never disappointed to have a hidden gem of a beer available. Every few weeks they cycle through a different great beer. The service is super friendly and welcoming, and a chill dive atmosphere with the rest of the patrons is tye vibe here. Def get the tots!!!! Touchtunes available as well. Love having this place as my local dive.“
“Pass by this place a lot and finally went inside.Glad I did.Nice old fashioned bar with awesome food.With so many chain restaurants taking over the landscape, it’s refreshing to come to a place like this and actually eat freshly made food and sit back with a few drinks.I will def be coming back!BTW try the hot pastrami sandwich on rye. It was so delicious.“
“Got there early on a Sunday with my wife and 2 small kids. We had then porterhouse for 2, garlic mash, broccoli rob, penne vodka w shrimp, and the lasagna. I wanted to love the place, but they fell short on the flavor of the food. We all liked our meal, but all agreed it fell short on the seasoning. They were just opening, so it's possible they gave us mash and lasagna from the day before and it was good but wasn't great. I do plan on going back to give it another go. The service was great and the dining room comfy. Not a bad experience. Worth a meal to try them out.“
“Burrata, rice balls, gnocchi, stuffed chicken over wild rice, veal chops with spinach and risotto. Apple crisp and berry pie. All of it was better than I thought it would be, all on point and delicious. No picks of the burrata it didn't last long enough. The quality was excellent, but I wish it came with some greens. I should have been coming here all this time.“
“The food was great. I recommend getting the lobster fettuccine, short rib, and spicy calamari. We walked-in on a Friday night at 6pm and luckily we were able to get a table but I'm sure if we came later we might have had to wait so I would recommend getting a reservation since this seems like a popular place. My kids seemed to really enjoy the food too especially the desserts! You have to try the cinnamon roll bread pudding a la mode! ? If nothing else, get the bread pudding.“
“There were a couple of parties going on, with children who were loud. The restaurant is loud! But the food was excellent. We were celebrating a birthday, but besides wishing her a happy birthday as we signed in, nothing "special" was done. They did not have the ribs that were on the menu, and that was a bit of a disappointment.“
“Good was great! I had the sweet potato nachos. Different than anything I have had before but I'll be coming here again on my next travel through Newark. Thank you to Elma who provided the best service! She made sure I had quick service and enjoyed my meal!“
“It is not your regular bar just to get yourself a glass of beer, it is a place to enjoy friends, hear music, and try and forget the words of the day. Very crowded but not shoulder to shoulder. Just close together. It is the perfect place to celebrate St. Patty's Day or any holiday with a group of friends or strangers that are about to become friends.“

“My daughter had a 30th birthday party there 5 yrs ago and this past Sunday, on June 30, 2019 for her father's celebration of life and it was very clean and plenty of room for our guests. The bartender downstairs was very accommodating and friendly.“
“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.“
“This place is amazing. The food was fresh and huge portions. I’ve been here about 3-4 times. I like this restaurant very much. The sangria is phenomenal! Best I’ve ever had. The salad, simple but incredibly delicious. Fresh baked bread also does not disappoint. I’d definitely recommend, even the sangria alone is worth the trip. They’re definitely doing something right there!!“
“Friendly service, nice wine selection and amazing food sums up our experience. I have eaten here once before a while back and I remember liking the food, but our meal was truly delicious! We will be back more. Some favorites included the calamari, meatballs, veal Milanese and pasta with short ribs.“
“It's a shot and a beer baseball bar. They only have snacks. Family owned for over 40 years. Local watering hole. Good people.Vegetarian options: Hot pretzelsKid-friendliness: NoWheelchair accessibility: Not great but doable through the back door.“
“This place is a total gem and so are its bartenders. I've had the pleasure of frequenting mostly when Erin, Lou, or Amanda have been working and they could not be any more welcoming and attentive each and every time. Oh, and the food is great, too! :)“
“We had a fantastic dining experience here, made especially great by our server, Janine. Food was great, beer was delicious, atmosphere was perfect for four young kids. And Janine was awesome—she perfectly memorized our orders for a party of 9, accommodated some special requests, and checked in with us at exactly the right times.“
“It was a nice club nice people and enjoy myself being there and the bartender ladies they was turned up out of sight LOL yes I would let my friend and family know about this place so everybody should go there Friday Saturday and check it out“
“The first time there what a cool place to go went next door to see a great cover bad. But the food was just good as the band. Now I can't wait to see another band there but you can served food in the theater what a great concept. I will be back soon. Great “
“Always a hometown feel going to the Pub. Friendly, inviting and a nice safe environment to drink. The bartenders truly bring a hometown feel to the bar. Grab a beer, try their Pub Sauce specialty wings and meet Val, Sylvia, and Chris they are FANTASTIC. Give it a shot on Tuesday nights for Bingo!“
“My husband and I celebrated our daughters baptism at Angelina’s and I couldn’t thank them enough for accommodating a big group of family! The Italian food was so great, the staff was exceptional and very understanding due to (some of our family coming in late to the restaurant). Shout out to Lia and the other lady that assisted in setting up our venue so beautifully in the beginning till the end, to Gio, and the rest of the family staff, chef etc etc.. our family had a great time.“
