First time here, itâs a large bar with adjoining area of tables. The food was a step up from the basic bar and grill items. We had good tacos ( pulled pork, mesquite chicken) plus good chili and a very good crab soup with crab meat. Friendly and flexible staff, family atmosphere in dining area. We would try this again if in the area.

Stopped here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. It was NOT crowded. The parking lot was unpreposessing to say the least with weeds in planters and very unkempt looking, but inside the bar looked ok. There were people seated. The restaurant was empty save for 2 diners finishing up. We were seated quickly and given menus. Our waitress, Debbie was acting both as hostess and waitress. I got the impression that she was also working in the bar too. We made our drink and meal selections and waited. She returned and took our order of a coke, huckleberry lemonade, chicken francaise w/ salad and corned beef sandwich w/ onion rings. Shortly after the order was placed, she returned to advise that the bartender informed her the vodka needed to make the huckleberry lemonade drink was not available and that I needed to make another drink selection. No problem, I tried another lemonade drink with honey. We got our drinks, I was not impressed with the honey drink, but ok. It was something new to try. It was overwhelmingly honey, very little lemonade, very little alcohol. What can you say about a Coke? It's a Coke. My salad arrived, beautifully presented, fresh, dressing on the side. Delicious. Meals timed perfectly. The chicken Francaise was served over a flavored rice. Big no no. A plain rice or pasta (preferably pasta) would have been so much better. Better to absorb the sauce. This dish had too much salt as it was. The lemon was excessive to the point of bitterness. The chicken was cooked well and the overall presentation was nice. Make those few adjustments and it would be a winner. As I was hungry, I ate everything without complaint. My husband said his corned beef sandwich and onion rings were tasty. The tavern has a nice menu. With a few tweaks and some sprucing up of the outside apearance, it would make a better impression.

Yes, authentic food. Yes, wait staff who are trying, but are clearly new at delivering the service most Americans expect. So itâs a case of omission rather than commission. Yes, the more than a dozen TVâs are not operating. If youâre trying to eat a relaxing meal, thatâs a great thing! Itâs bad enough that this decent Indian restaurant is confined to the remains of Yogiâs Sports Bar: if it were not for the soothing Indian music instead of all those screens piping in video feeds, it would be a lost cause. But the food...itâs a worthy effort. We liked the mixed pakora. Nice and crunchy, not too greasy, with two decent sauces. About ten varieties of naan listed, but we prefer papadam. We asked and they supplied. The tandoori wings had a nice char, though the flavor was just average. My wife wanted a spicy dish and the vegetable Hari Masala delivered crunchy veggies with a nice zing.

This place cannot be put into words. Everyone who works here, or frequents here are the greatest people on the planet! Lunches are home made and excellent quality! Beer is always ice cold!!

OK, don't come to impress ur new chick. Come here if u want to feel old school drinker and partier in rural Merka. This rundown, needs paint and wood staining everywhere, dive bar is not a bar, it is a roadhouse. passed by by the expansion to the nearby NJ Pike, the one from the movies, real NJ Pike, 95 mph and blasting Bruce tunes, then U exit at Exit 8A, select the right turn off the ramp, turn right again onto Cranbury/South River road, go 1 mile and u will see Docks Corner road, Dang dawg, the roadhouse is named after the street, that is real old school. Go 1.4 miles and u can't miss Docks Corner Tavern. There aint no corner, the roadhouse is on a straight stretch of road. lol: lol:, turn in and lose ur mind. drab, scrapped circumstances hide the history of Docks, it was a destination years ago, prize boxing matches behind the bar in an open air ring. I can't praise this place enough. It is a Burgerheaven. specifically, the Houston burger. The Chix wings are lame, but I tell you , I tell you , that if u ask Christine the 50's aged yet still hot, barmaid, she will make sure your French Fries are as u desired. I like my French fries a cripsy level that 80% of bars can please me when my fries are delivered. Docks Corner Tavern Crispy Grease Laden Fries are a time journey back to when you were in High School and you eat a hot dish of Fries with ur chick at Dairy Queen. Only at Docks, you can shoot pool while Christine cooks ur fries. The times that I go there are late. It is open til 1:45 w package goods. I have seen the few people that patronize it from all social groups, Mexican labors, punks w tatto's, polluted civil servants, Sports watchers on the 6 TV's, Tables are set with silver and items suggesting people actual not at the bar, will eat there. AND they do, I love Docks, go there with a designated driver and have a great time wondering what plant and time zone from the Outer Limits show u have landed in. OMG, i spent 60 bucks there one morn 1:35am, on 2 cheeseburgers w the works, two orders of buffalo wings, and a six of Heineken, I walked the 2 miles home balancing the meal on my handle bars and side packs on mt Bike. Best thing about Docks for me is that if I have 3 or 4 beers, I live close and can walk my mt Bike and my package goods home thus avoiding a drunk cycling thing ( in NJ, bike laws mirror car laws ) But I say, I say, have the French Fries well crisped, but not totally crispped and your mind will wander as you slowly pour Heinz ketchup over your well salted French Fries. Agin the crowd is a non operative word. There are never more then 8 people their in a bar that has 85 seats in diff configs around the bar areas. Wonderful place and non judgemental employees, all seem welcome, what ever country, religion, or level of social work status, Docks is just a happening place, only dont tell ur friends.

This place is always busy for good reason... there's no place that delivers an experience like they do in the general area... an excellent bar, friendly service, some excellent chow, tons of TVs for sporting events... in the football season they have every game! Was great that we could watch the Duke game in the NCAA tourney while enjoying some chow. They also have an aggressive happy hour that seems to draw a crowd. I love the burgers here... excellent ground beef and grilled perfectly. The chili we tried was great, quesadilla just ok, wings pretty good, chicken fingers very good. Hanna, our waitress, was excellent... fast, friendly and efficient.Wow WINEandTRAVEL, thanks for the great review! We appreciate your feedback, and hope to see you again soon!
