Nik's Wunderbar

Casual dining that offers over 35 beers on tap and a wide range of seafood. The beer list changes weekly and they work hard to keep the variety up. The food includes classics like warm pretzels and beer brats. Yummy.

908-534-0001. Opened May 2012

Reviewed By MrOcho

I have not been here in several years mostly because I recalled it as being very noisy. This time there were very few patrons, so it was relatively quiet. I came here for a birthday dinner with a friend (at their request) and kept it simple with an order of the crab cakes ($20). My expectations were not high considering the how many quality crab cakes I have eaten over the past year in Maryland but felt I needed to know. Note they do have a diverse menu.The two crab cakes were pan seared, served with ginger mustard sauce, jasmine rice and vegetables (Carrots, zucchini and green pepper). Each crab cake appeared to be an ice cream scoop of crab mix equally cooked on both sides. They appeared to be broiled and did not have much if any lump crab meat, so I suspect it was a lower grade of crab meat. Overall, while better than expected it was a secondary rail product rather than the main line to Flavortown.Service was not great.

Riley & Jake's

Reviewed By Carn1vore

Hey Guys...Ordered a bowl of clam chowder, salad, a glass of Yuengling beer and chicken saltimbocca, Everything was EXCELLENT! The only reason I would not rate this dining experience as EXCELLENT was the cold draft inside the restaurant. I would suggest one find seating as far away from the door as possible as every time the door opens you will catch the draft.

The Tewksbury Inn

Reviewed By risi59

Great outside seating in a beautiful/quaint rural NJ town. It's sometime hard to find a restaurant with a good outdoor atmosphere. The Tewksbury Inn has both an inside and outside bar as well as restaurant seating as well. The service is terrific as are the selections. A nice selection of beers and wines although the wine was mostly 1/2 bottle. Get there early, we had an early Friday dinner but by 7P there was 'No room at the Inn'.

Harpers Table

Reviewed By BergholzTimelord

Visited Harper's Table mid-afternoon on Wednesday for an early dinner. Fairly quiet for a mid-afternoon, and I sat at the bar. Was greeted immediately by the server and asked her for a local IPA. Was given a sample and then followed that with a pint. Ordered the fried cheese curd for an appetizer followed by PB&J Burger. The fried cheese curds were a large portion and were delicious. Not over fried and came with a a nice tangy dipping sauce. I ate half to save room for my burger, but could have easily had more. The PB&J burger was outstanding, just enough peanut butter and jelly, and the bacon added an excellent level of salt to the burger. The burger itself was cooked medium as requested and was well seasoned. The fries were decent, but nothing special. Large venue and quiet for a Wednesday Will have to visit on a busier evening.

Finnagel's

Reviewed By boysmom2

Found Finnagel's on Yelp, we were staying near by for a baseball tournament and needed a place for dinner. So glad we went here! I can't remember what we all had, there were about 10 of us. But I know there were burgers involved!! They were so good! A real burger, not a patty. Cooked perfectly, just the way we ordered them. We wanted to go back a second night, but with the rest of the team. They unfortunately weren't able to accommodate us without putting us in a private room with a catering menu, so we opted out of it. Will definitely return if we are in the area again!

Chelsea's Restaurant and Pub

Reviewed By Michael B

We don't come here often. Had some business here, so stayed for dinner. Sitting at the table by the outside area. 4 min pass, 8 min pass. Finally the waiter that passes us 5 times took our order. Came right back with drinks. A Friday at 6:45 and they have 4 empty tables, so they are not crowded. They have a large menu of many different meal selections. The bar and dining areas are combines. So it will get noisy. They do have a glass room for those adventurous. It is heated/cooled and empty. They have Comcast Wifi, decent parking lot, ramp access. I had a plain cheesesteak, very good, and the wife, one of their burger variations, very good too. No deserts, too stuffed. There are 6 TVs all on sports. After they "found us", things went fine. It's now 7:30 and every table is full.Thank you for your review! We just remodeled the glass house btw. Hope to see you soon!

Interesting combinations of flavors I haven't seen anywhere else. I appreciate the vegan and vegetarian options.I loved the free onion-potato bread served with humus.I highly recommend the strawberries & sprouts starter with ricotta cheese; I believe this was listed on the menu under salads but there are no greens. Either the ricotta cheese, the dressing or both were sweet. The strawberries were sweet too.For entree, I requested a vegan platter consisting of the three "SIDES" that were offered on the menu: roast potatoes, asparagus with chickpeas (and herbs), and sweet & sour cauliflower/broccoli with lots of golden raisins. The roast potatoes are oily but I forgive them because they're delicious. All three of these "SIDES" is delicious. This platter was large enough to feed two people. When ordered as sides, the portions are also too large for one person, so I recommend sharing.My favorite item was the pineapple basil sorbet. Lots of fresh basil gave this dessert a delicious kick. I didn't particularly taste pineapple; the sorbet seemed to resemble mango more than pineapple. I hope they still have this dessert when I return.I also recommend the olive oil cake served with vanilla cream, cherries and cherry sauce. A wonderful combination. The cake was not too sweet and I definitely detected the taste of a flavorful olive oil. My husband and I shared this cake and the pineapple basil sorbet, and the two desserts complemented each other.Not as outrageously delicious as the strawberries and sprouts starter, but an interesting combination of flavors, is the avocado grapefruit bowl with rice and grated fresh horseradish. My husband ate this on two different occasions, and loved it the time the horseradish was freshly grated and very strong.I do not recommend the tuna entree. The tuna was fresh, well seasoned and well prepared, so I ate all the tuna,and I picked out all the sweet pieces of mango, but I disliked the sour kimchi flavoring of the rice noodles, cabbage and other items served with the tuna.The cheese plate on the dessert menu is fine but not the best I've had.The bar offers a long list of interesting bourbons. I thought it interesting that the list of bourbons was much longer than the list of scotches, and I am a bourbon fan.My favorite tables for two people are the two near the front windows.Request a seat cushion if you wish.On both occasions when we dined here, service was slower than at other restaurants, although the servers are friendly and helpful.

Cryan's Tavern

Reviewed By timmerfish

Believe this restaurant used to be located a few miles away and have been there a few times over the years, but this last visit picking up a take-out pizza and having a beer as I stepped off the train was disappointing. The menu is inviting, too bad it doesn’t payoff in the food. I was promised the pizza quickly, but it never came, then they said 3 minutes (but 10 passed) then one minute (and another 10 passed...) In total I had to ask multiple times and it took well over 20 minutes past when they said it would be out. I long finished my beer and was just waiting while my pick driver waited in the parking lot. Everyone was upset. They never offered a comp beer while I waited. When the pizza finally came out they didn’t throw in something else as an apology. Then when we got home and tried the pizza it was no better than the store-bought freezer pizza. It got a touch better when it was reheated to full temperature, but overall lacked flavor and good quality ingredients. Will not return.

Fox & Hound Tavern

Reviewed By 238scottt

Quickly greeted and seated. Water offered immediately as we sat down along with Menus. There is a separate drink menu with innovative different drinks. Waitstaff kept table cleared and waitress read out the specials. It was during a heatwave and restaurant was nice and cool. Has a ramp for handicap entry. Plenty of parking and easy to find from route 22. Food is very good and looks like a good bar scene.
