I came here for a quick lunch. I got the chicken portobello formaggio sandwich. It is served with fries. The portion size is large and it's made with a nice marsala sauce. I was able to have a good amount for a leftover portion. Day 1 was just as good as day 2. It wasn't overpowered by the mushrooms so it was a win for me. The buttermilk chicken sandwich wasn't as impressive. They give you 2 big breaded pieces but it only has a fried taste. Without the dressing on the bread it would be pretty bland. I definitely wanted to try the wings but I didn't have time for the time it takes to prepare them. The service was quick orherwise. The place is huge with a separate area for sporting events and an area for dine in.
Five stars for over 10 years. This place consistently exceeds expectations. Steamed clams all day long and sop up that broth with extra bread. The rotation seasonal beer does not disappoint. My go to is the chicken portobello formaggio sandwich and my wife sticks to the garlic mozzarella ribeye sandwich. All around fantastic. They take online reservations which is recommended. They rarely have open parking but you can park around the corner and walk.
Great spot for family dinners! Many families (including my own) has small children with them and the staff were wonderfully accommodating. We had broiled oysters as an appetizer and they were delicious. I also had a seafood pasta that was good, just needed a little more salt for my taste. Everyone else in my party also enjoyed their meals. I'm certain I will be back when I'm in the area again!
Classic NJ pub grub done right. Wings are consistently good, and their burgers are proper bar-food champions. Portions are generous. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient. Staff knows their regulars and treats newcomers well. Ambiance is no-frills sports bar vibe. Nothing fancy, but comfortable and welcoming. Perfect for game day or casual meetups. Solid bang for your buck! Happy hour specials are particularly good deals. Overall is reliable neighborhood joint that knows what it is and does it well. Not trying to reinvent the wheel, just serving good food with good service at fair prices.
Great meal! Hoboken location closed years ago so I was glad to stop by this original location. Always had a nice experience! Service was nice too! We tried lobster bisque in bread bowl, so good!! Thai chili calamari, loved it! And garlic bread mozzarella chicken sand - just ok. We also swapped fries for broccoli and that was very good! Overall great spot! Would recommend for large parties too!
