All kinds of Retro Classic Diner vibes emanate all throughout this timeless restaurant from their unmistakable oldies tunes playing in the background to their classic style leather booths, this place is unquestionably a local landmark. Friends of mine have named this as one of the best breakfast spots around and I couldn't agree more with them, whole heartedly in fact. Currently I've become a huge fan of their Blueberry Pancakes which are outstanding and have kind of crepe-like texture to them. They're made with fresh picked berries from Hammonton NJ baked-in and topped with real Blueberry Syrup for the win. We're talking about some seriously epic YUMMMMMMERS !! As you would expect they serve an excellent eye opening Freshly Brewed Dark Roast Coffee here and also offer lighter blends for customers looking for a milder less intense brew. [ lightweights ] jk  Lol Even the complimentary water that they serve here is exceptional and unbelievably refreshing: eco-friendly Blue Drop Water- yes please and thank you. Service here is always friendly fast and efficient ask for Michelle L she is a Rockstar. You'll find plenty of parking available with easy access to Bloomfield Avenue. Come And Get Your Munch On!!

It truly felt personal and welcoming. Every course was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. My favorite was the madai (Japanese Red Sea Bream).

Highly recommend the place!

Walked in before 10, was given a friendly greeting and had a cup of coffee in my hand in less than a minute. Great coffee. I find extremely strong brews overwhelm the subtleties of coffee (I imagine that puts me in a small minority, but I know what I like). Honey's coffee was great. Choosing from a couple of dozen enticing choices wasn't easy; I went with a Mexican omelette. Served with pretty good home fries and very lightly buttered rye toast, I couldn't finish it. Little by little the small space with about a dozen and a half tables slowly filled up, yet I was never rushed. The second cup of coffee was s good as the first, and it was topped off by another friendly waitress (love teamwork). The place did get quite loud, but the sounds of happy people enjoying great food is one of the joys of life. A small parking lot abuts the restaurant. I intend to go back and I highly recommend it.

(Also, after 14 years, I have a little better appreciation of craft beers.) This was takeout, so I can't offer if anything has changed about ambiance. The order was prepared quickly, on time, and fresh. The food came back to us still hot and crispy, a sign of good care. And the food quality? Mwah. Everyone loved what they got. My bacon beef burger was juuust before medium, exactly how I wanted Great flavor, more guac than I thought as I ate through it. Good amount of fries, just need one recommendation: Dipping sauce plz. The appetizer of cheese curds was well stocked to satisfy my craving and came with the perfect dip. I get the feeling if we ate in-house, more dips would be provided on request. So that's bringing up to 4 stars. If I revisit in person, pray I alter it further. ;)

My wife and I attended this diner during the holiday of Memorial Day, when regular customers get…read moremixed in with not-so regular customers. We were the latter. And hence, our meal was the not so regular Greek Salad and Spinach Pie. It seemed so strange to us that the Owner / Cheff kept peeking out of the kitchen to see "who is ordering the food." Possibly to service two types of food. Left overs for the tourists, and good food for the regulars. Maybe I am making this up. Anyway, here is what we got --- Greek Salad - soggy and wilted lettuce mixed with old greek feta cheese. Spinach Pie - double oiled and fried pie with old and terribly salty spinach stuffing. It has been a long time since I tasted food this bad. It seems to come around during the holidays, when restaurants get rid of their inventory on customers who may never return again. And, that is true all around. The food was old, and dumped onto us. We just paid the bill and walked out. We will not go there again. Deep in our heart, will would like you to try the place, and " MAKE A DONATION TO THE GREEK FUND. " Because this Mom and Pop diner shurely needs all the help they can get. !!!!! Just do not go in this place hungry, because you may get depressed at the food.

There is an entrance with a ramp and stairs. I want to say that the workers at Garden State Tavern are the best! Everyone is extremely kind and welcoming. I attended a private event as this location. The room that they have is big, with plenty of windows, and very clean. They allowed us to bring in a band so having our own live music was great! They offered food in buffet style. This included pizza, chicken, and sliders. I would rate the food a 3/5. The staff was very attentive during my time there, always asking if we needed anything else.

It…read morelooks like a dive from the outside (I say this with the most respect, because some of the best food comes from "dives") but it is a no frills essentially side of the road deli with quite an extensive menu. The staff I encountered were friendly & patient, which is shockingly not the norm these days! I ordered the tuna melt & fries & took a seat at the counter. I was the only one sitting along the counter, but there are also a few tables in the back that had parties at them. My food was ready relatively quickly & was served to me with a smile. The fries were of the steak cut variety, which aren't my favorite, but no fault of the delis - just my personal preference. They were cooked well & served hot - can't ask for much more! The tuna melt was actually a sandwich & not an open faced sandwich, as they tend to be, and I found that to be a pleasant surprise. Open faced tend to get soggy quickly. The tuna was aplenty & it was delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted & buttery as well. I do wish it was served with a pickle spear, though. Not sure if that's the norm & mine was forgotten or if it is not served as such. Either way, I'm obviously grasping at straws. Otherwise, it was a delightful lunch. I'm happy to have discovered The Cutting Board & even happier they are in the immediate area of my job, I will definitely be back to try more.

3/14/26: Danaher's Pub used to be the old "Thatcher McGee's"…read more I'm not a big pub food eater. However, the food was much better than I expected. It was a Saturday night and it was really noisy. Anyway, we were seated right away. The server first took our wine and beer order. We then ordered the French onion soup and the Panko Crusted Goat Cheese Salad with Grilled Chicken. While we were waiting for the food, we needed water. We finally caught our servers attention and mentioned the water. Our food arrived at least 35 minutes plus after ordering. The French Onion Soup and Goat Cheese Salad were delicious. The soup had lots of yummy cheese. The warm crispy fried goat cheese medallions were so darn delish! In the meantime, still no water. We asked the server again. The water finally came. The servers were very friendly. Think the pub could use a lot more servers, particularly on a Saturday night. The inside decor is a bunch of old wood shellacked tables. Think the furnishings could use a major upgrade. The food is what really impressed me. Based, on the good food, I would give Danaher's another try, but not on a busy weekend. A large parking lot is available.
