Great seafood in a cool bar. We sat out back at the tiki bar. The staff were fun and friendly. We had the colossal shrimp cocktail, which were huge, and a pound of snow crab. We will definitely return. Highly recommend.

This was my first time at McDonagh's Pub but it won't be my last. I met others there for a business lunch and really enjoyed the place. Our server was wonderful, my corned beef reuben was excellent and the restaurant was clean. I highly recommend.

Although most of the negative reviews are concerning service, the food and ambience are great. Yes, the servers struggle on a busy Saturday night, but they try hard. I witnessed one server spill a bowl of soup in the kitchen over the clean silverware. Speaking of soup, I never got mine that I ordered but when she realized the error I was sent home with soup. The drinks are great and the seafood was very fresh as were the appetizers. No complaints. Sitting on the upstairs porch is terrific. A very enjoyable evening. Glad we tried it.

Although we live near Pine Tavern we hadn't dined there in a few years. Recently we rediscovered it and have now been back 3-4 x; menu is varied; preparations are excellent and the service is professional and friendly. Give it a try.

Recently went to Old Glory Kitchen and Grill after not wanting to wait at another restaurant. From the hostesses to the wait staff to the good runners it was nothing but smiles and friendless. Situated in an old church building, its cozy on the dining room. Snd on nicer weather they have outdoor seating and a bar. My wife wasn't as hungry as I was do she ordered soup and the drunken clams from the app menu, I ordered fish and chips. Our waitress explained that the clams come from the grill and the fish comes from the kitchen, so they might not come out at the same time, but she would try to time it do they would. The clams did come out first and the waitress came over twice to apologize and after the second time said she would go into kitchen to check on it. She returned with the dish and it was hot and plentiful. My wife's soup bowl was a good size and there was at least a dozen clams in her dish. And the bread they put on the table,wow. It's a cheesy topped oven baked bread that tasted like a grill cheese sandwich. We asked for a second portion.we will definitely be going back.LCSCONST, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5 star review! We greatly appreciate it & we look forward to serving you again soon!

Took a friend from out of town there for a fast dinner. The service was great Sal was our server and on the ball, since it was very busy there. I have eaten there before but was disappointed in the bacon cheeseburger I ordered. I asked for medium cooked it came out very well done no little pink inside. I did not say anything because they were busy. Maybe next time ask for medium rare it may come out medium. Other wise nice place and your server Sal is a great server works hard

Just left the MJâs on 34 in Matawan. Was having dinner with my family and the waiter walked by and dropped a whole tray or food and dishes on my daughter. My daughter was traumatized and had to leave. All the manager did was say sorry and took 30 dollars off the bill. How about treating us for a horrible experience! Shame on you! I will never ever eat here again!!!!!!

Great staff, food and pricing. No reservations. You won't be rushed. Start with hot garlic & butter flavored buns, salad and drinks of your choice. Then indulge in an endless rib feast. Add chicken or other choices to your rib dinner and have a ball.

3.5 stars but I'm rounding up. Maloney's is a nice little local pub with a tremendous selection on tap. Me and my husband came with a group of friends. Our waiter joined together a few of the wobbly bar top tables for us in the front of the restaurant. My husband ordered the steak which was surprisingly really good. The steak was cooked to perfection and really tasty. I ordered the black and blue salad (salad with blackened chicken and blue cheese) which was also really delicious. Both of our dishes were huge! Service was excellent and very friendly. The space is large and casual. Street parking is fairly easy to find. I did feel prices were a tad high (especially for the beers) but I still wouldn't hesitate to return.
