    Was in South Plainfield for a wake and decided to grab a bite afterwards. A quick yelp check of popular eateries in the area, and Angelina's Tavern, only a few doors away looked promising. The reviews were on the money. Rustic looking, half dive bar, old school looking joint with a full bar and a separate dining room in the back. Ultra casual vibe throughout, not very large dining area, with plain wooden tables placed around the room. I guess cozy, comfortable, and homey would be my call. Decor was very simple, but just right for this ambiance. I wasn't looking for elegant dining, just good solid food, and of course, pizza. Plus, they have a good sized parking lot, which is always a plus. Very hospitable, quick, and friendly service. Kudos to our efficient waitress who was very busy as the tables were mostly filled, but managed to stay on top of everything. The shared appetizers were delicious (shrimp special, Arancini, and fried Calamari ), but the star of the show was the wood fired, classic Grandma Pie ( also comes Sicilian style if that's your preference). The pie was excellent, and a great companion to my cold bottle of Heineken beer. Generously sized, perfectly seasoned, nice crispy, crunchy crust and undercarriage, with a tasty sauce and cheese topping. It all married together very nicely. It was satisfying and satiating, and not a bite was left. ***Note: The Grandma Pie is not on the menu, but my initial check on this place revealed that if you asked for it they would make it for you special. If you know, you know! All in all, in was a good stop and was glad that we stopped in. Thank you Angelina's! 04/27/2025

    Since I was never was here before and it's within walking distance of my home I finally got around to going. You pretty can sit anywhere you want either at the bar area or the dining room they don't seem to hardcore about assigned seats. The downside of the dining room is it's in the same room with the pizza over so it's gets hot they had ceiling fans on but it was still very warm.My waitress was very nice I started off with the meatballs they were good but what stole the show from them was the bread that came with them for dipping. It was soft and light and tasted amazing. The main dish was the parma pizza. It was very good you can never go wrong with anything with prosciutto and mozzarella. It was thin crust but was sturdy enough to be picked up. My only complaint was that the sauce was too watery for my liking but it didn't derail the dish. Overall it's a nice local joint not upscale but not a grease spoon spot either. It's nice place if you're in the area

    Quaint, cozy Tavern. You are properly welcomed into establishment. Everyone is very friendly, family owned business. Cooks, waitresses, and bartenders all part of the family. We were recommended by a friend small world. Everybody knew everybody from our town although location is in South Plainfield Family is from town, which is where we're from. Food selection was great. Generously priced along with the alcoholic beverages. Everything we ordered was very satisfying. Nice big portion definitely took home. They gave us dessert on the house which was freshly made cannolis. (Yum) They have a parking lot on premises. Afterwords, we went to the bar to have some drinks overall it was a very welcoming & enjoyable Friday night experience and will definitely go back!

    A solid Italian spot that isn't takeout. Plenty of parking. Love that the bar and restaurant portion are separate rooms. Service was phenomenal. Multiple people kept checking in on us. Everything came out super fast. Very reasonably priced. Eggplant rollatini wasn't the best texture but eggplant is tricky. Flavors were delicious. Penne vodka was good. Could have used more sauce. I ordered it spicy and there was no heat. The bread that came for the table wasn't my favorite - the sesame seeds weren't necessary. The meatball appetizer was fantastic. The fried pizza dough it came with was a game changer. Cocktail was good. The whole place reminds me almost of a dive bar vibe but more elegant. Will definitely come back.

    look at those tots!

    What a find! We were thinking about heading out to that pizza spot in Raritan but they seemed to get pretty arrogant on their website based on a pizza review, so we decided to find a more local joint. And holy smokes, Angelina's tavern has such a local vibe - the servers and staff are super friendly and helpful. Was blown away by the food! The pizza was way up there with some of my favorites. Great flavor, crust, fresh ingredients - only complaint was the pizza interior was a bit liquidly, which doesn't make for great cold pizza for breakfast, so just finish it there. But check out the photo I attached. Also the penne vodka w/chx was fantastic. I recommended Angelina's to my North Jersey Italian friends, and I can't wait to come back.

    What a great neighborhood joint. This is our second visit and it's got such a great family vibe. Food is good - classic home style Italian. We enjoyed the pizzas and the service is great.

    Buffalo "barely" chicken

    We usually order 5 specialty pizzas twice a month and barely any chicken on the buffalo. Can't believe the price increase! (Almost $20 total). Plus they discontinued some of the pies we loved. So disappointing since the pizzas were delicious.

    Great vibe, great service, great people. I went with a friend and we got a few drinks, an app, and 2 entrees. We had a really pleasant dinner with generous servings and tasty drinks. I personally really liked the martini and the penne vodka.

    I have been in Central New Jersey for so long, but never visited this place.. I googled places to…read moreeat and they showed up with good reviews.. almost like a hidden gem very close to Edison.. parking is at the backside.. decently sized of parking and then you got to walk to the front entrance .. inside is spacious.. lots of seats to sit and eat . Service was very good... Look like a laid-back, please, with soft music and lots of old couples.. looked like a home for most of them, which is really good to see :) looks like everyone knew everyone inside the bar.. the bar had a lot of options.. I like the fact that they had blue moon on tap and not in bottles.. price was reasonable . Got a fried pickle, which was OK... overall a good experience . 4 stars .

    Last Saturday night, I went out to Kc's Korner in South Plainfield to check out a friend's band…read morethat was playing live music out on the Patio. This was my first time at Kc's Korner, and the overall experience left me with a good impression. Like the other reviewers say here, it's a great neighborhood bar! We were a party of three. After parking in the private lot, we entered Kc's from the patio entrance in the back. We were greeted by a hosts. I think he first wanted to bring us inside, but then my friend told him we were there for the music on the patio. We ordered food. My vegetarian husband and our vegan friend both went with plain quesadillas (just with the veggies) and non-alcoholic drinks. I went all-in and ordered a Kc's Classic Smash Burger with fries, and a side of onion rings (which my hubs and I ended up sharing). My friend and husband said the quesadillas were good. My hubs said it was better than he expected being a bar and all. The onion rings were really good - tasty batter and fried perfectly. My smash burger was fantastic - hit the spot. I saw that the Patio drink menu had Surfside and Suncruiser canned drinks. I asked our bartender what she thought. She was cool and gave me her take on them. I appreciated that she chatted with me and gave honest input. So I ordered them here for the first time, and they are pretty good! That night, it looked like only 3 people were working the front of the house, so they were busy, but they were on it and were still friendly and outgoing. The place really has a good vibe. Again, great neighborhood bar!

The place has plenty of sports stuff and tv's to keep you happy the ambiance was on point as a sports bar. I ordered a DUO BACON BURGER which was their burger of the month and a Shiner Bock beer. The burger was so good it was cooked very well and tasted great the French fries were perfect as well. The reason I gave this place three stars is because of the service our waitress took our order and ignored us after that and spent most of the time talking to a older couple across from me that from the conversation they were having they all knew each other personally. There was a older employee who judging by my experience of working in restaurant and dining seemed to be a manger there judging by his enthusiasm and aim to please. He was constantly checking on us and even brought our food by he really didn't come off as a server plus the girls name was on the check as our server. I would have given four stars if he was our actually waiter but if he is a manager like I think. He needs to manage your staff you see one of your employees shooting the breeze with people she obviously knows for more than two minutes you have to tell her to take care of her other customers. I had to pretty much yell (nicely I swear) for my check. In closing the food was good but the service was terrible and management needs to manage

    Popped in yesterday for the Tex Mex Tacos with Shrimp. They must've changed the recipe or something…read morebecause the food has always been good, but today was amazing. The shrimp was perfectly seasoned and grilled and the tacos weren't over stuffed or under filled. I ate all 3, but def could have gone for a few more lol. Paired it with the Red Sangria. It was a bit sweet, but got the job done! I will definitely be back.

    Let's start with the server. A very nice young lady, she wasn't sure what some of the items on the…read moremenu were. Not a big deal, but a server needs to know what they're serving. The food was just ok. I had the 2 lb. burrito. Very bland, not a lot of taste. The side items; guac, sour cream, etc. were extremely small for such a large burrito. As I said, just ok, could not recommend. Now for the music. When we walked in, the restaurant was completely empty. That should've been our first clue. The music was some kind of bizarre Latin hip-hop (the best way I can explain it). And it was extremely loud. I commented to the server that this might be the reason the place was empty. I asked them to change it, and they did...for one song. Then it went back to this crazy hip-hop. It basically ruined the meal. We couldn't take it any more and had to leave. So how can I tell you to avoid this place without telling you to avoid this place? Mediocre food, terrible music, just terrible. Go ahead, give it a try. Just don't say I didn't try to warn you. We're never going back. BTW, I almost NEVER leave reviews; good, bad or otherwise. But this place left such a bad impression on me, that I just had to.
