food is decent service a bit slow bc the bartender is busy at the bar so tables in dining room fall to a lower priority. makes sense though because they're not that busy.
it doesn't have the dive bar vibe it had before...

Amazing place with awesome food choices and ambience. We were visiting NJ and I have lived in Hong Kong, Singapore and in other cities in the US. I can truly say this place is a gem and is a must visit. We had a sit down dinner. They have ample seating for sit down dinner, but they also have a spacious bar area with lots of bar seating if you want to watch games. We ordered Cauliflower fritters, hot wings, beef briskets, chipotle chicken wrap and Cajun chicken and Shrimp pasta. The beef was just perfectly done and the bread was fresh and crispy. Chicken wrap had crispy chicken and it was delicious. The Cajun shrimp pasta was delicious too. The drink selection was also extremely good, many choices of cocktail for all taste buds. To top it all off we ordered the Sticky dates pudding which is to die for. The owner himself is a chef and you can tell that from the food quality and taste.
Wonderful place to eat. I went for my mother’s birthday and she loved every single minute of being there. I definitely recommend this place!

I've visited Castle Rock Bar and Grill multiple times, and it's become my top choice in West Orange. The owner, Sanju, and his team are incredibly friendly. I'm a big fan of their diverse cocktail menu, crafted by skilled bartenders. This spot is perfect for catching a game while enjoying a cold beer and a variety of tasty dishes. My personal favorites are the Wings of Heaven, Brisket Cheese Sandwich, Crispy Chicken Chipotle Wrap, and Braised Short Ribs. If you're looking to watch a game and enjoy great food and drinks, I highly recommend this place.
First and foremost, this is a hidden local gem! Great ambiance and vibe, great drinks and food! Not to mention trivia and karaoke night in your local neighborhood. My first time here and the bartender is amazing, such great humble fun vibes!! Fun is what you make it and this place can be great vibe!! Drink, eat and enjoy! MUST VISIT if you are a local resident and not planning to drive even 3 miles ?

My friend recommended trying Castle Rock 440. She said the reviews were very good and she wanted to support a local business. So me and 3 of my friends went on Friday to have dinner. I ordered a Shrimp Caesar salad, 2 of my friends order fish and chips and my last friend order a chicken sandwich. The food came out very quickly. I begin to eat my Shrimp Caesar salad starting with the lettuce. The salad had 4 shrimp. Then I proceed to eat my shrimp. I take a bite of the shrimp and spit it . I next try the another shrimp and I spit that shrimp out as well. The shrimp were spoiled. Unbeknownst to me the whole table could smell the shrimp. So I call the waiter over and tell her that the shrimp was bad. She takes the salad away and then another waiter comes over to ask me if I want something else. I tell him no I’m ok. Then I guess it’s the owner or manager comes over to me and says those shrimp weren’t bad and would I like something else. I tell him no I don’t want anything else. For him to be confrontational was totally uncalled for. The whole table could smell the fishiness of the shrimp and everyone looked at me and said I was right. Manager or Owner, I have been cooking for 30 years and I know how fresh seafood tastes and it doesn't taste like what you served me yesterday. For the whole table to smell the fishiness of the shrimp and for you to say the shrimp aren’t bad shows that you have an ego issue. If a customer makes a complaint to me and it’s justified, I always try to make amends. There is no reason to be confrontational. We are all humans and we make mistakes. Also they have a very limited soda selection. Based on this experience I would not recommend going to this restaurant and I won’t be returning.

We used to be regular patrons of the prior pub at this location and finally paid the new place a visit. New menu, new furniture, new staff. My Brisket Grilled Cheese sandwich was delicious (recommended by our waitress) and my partner said her Veggie Burger was very good. We both said we'd order them again. And the onion rings and fries were top notch. The new owner came out and chatted for a bit, which was really nice. The dining room and bar area weren't too busy - it probably takes time to replace a local establishment that's been around for a while. But we hope more people will give Castle Rock a try. I know we'll be back.
