“Visit Date: July 29, 2025 (Early morning, after midnight)

So I had a crazy few days lol. I went to the Nelly/Ja Rule/Eve concert, the next day I worked and drove my son and I out to WildWood, NJ to participate in a short part of my boyfriend's annual family vacation, Tuesday night I left Wildwood at 10 PM because I had a notary class Wednesday. After the concert my friend Jen told me she was going to be here with her other friends. So I went to meet them because I didn't get to see them during the concert. Jen is so amazing she's very generous with me even though she doesn't have to be, so she paid for my burger that I ordered here because I didn't eat dinner and when I got to Boss Crocker's I was hungry. I gave the bartender a $20 tip because if someone pays for my meal I like to pay it forward and give the waitstaff or bartender a banger tip.

The bacon cheeseburger was very good. They made it very fast, I don't know if it was the hunger but I loved it. They made it medium rare at my request and it was one of the best burgers I ever scarfed down.

The bar was a pretty good environment, it was a pretty chill crowd for a Sunday night, more packed than I thought it would be. I can't say much about the drinks I only drank water but give Boss Crocker's a chance!“

“Tried the Sauerbraten with Red Cabbage . . . quite unusual to find such a dish in the US but it was excellent . . . and the atmosphere for a semi-formal dinner with friends and family is also excellent . . . If I ever find myself in this area again, this will be our meeting place for drinks & family meals . . .“

“Dinner here was good but chef needs to pay some more attention to detail. Shrimp for fajitas had tails on them when served and wife’s vegetarian dish had a beef item that was supposed to be beans. Table side Guac and spicy margarita was tasty. Service was attentive and place was decorated nicely in and outside for Halloween, nice touch.“

“First, the naan bread that they serve on the table is outstanding. The service overall was excellent. We enjoyed the sampler appetizer. There were plenty of shrimp on the platter. The other items were a good portion. Filet mignon was perfectly cooked. Black angus bolognese pappardelle was good. Pasta is made in-house. BBQ ribs were meaty and had plenty of sauce. Overall, we really enjoyed the meal.“

“First time here and I can't wait to go back. We sat outdoors and admired the picturesque surroundings. It was pretty busy for lunchtime on a Thursday. My friend ordered the poke salad and I ordered the tuna tacos, which were very delicious and just the right amount. Service was quick and friendly. I was able to get a parking spot in the small lot and my friend parked in the small lot across the street -- someone sitting outside the lot tells you where to park. All in all, I am very impressed with this restaurant. The prices might be on the high side, but you can order the reasonably priced dishes like we did and be extremely satisfied.

“My brother, his wife, and I went to this establishment for lunch and were seated outside, since it was such nice weather on that day. We ordered spinach & artichoke dip and boneless wings as starters, which we gladly enjoyed; and Leo's BBQ ribs, the Trojan Chicken, and the Teriyaki skirt steak for the entrees. Each dish was quite delicious, although my sister-in-law found the steak a bit salty for her tastes. The staff were kind and very attentive as well. Personally, the Trojan chicken was my favorite out of the entrees. It came with a side of yellow rice, and the grilled chicken was topped with mushrooms and cheese. I highly recommend it!“
