I agree with all who say the food is terrific. BUT it is incredibly loud inside. Nearly impossible to have a 1:1 conversation and not possible if more than 2 people at the table. read more

Great steak and that's saying something since I'm from Kansas! Attentive service. Enjoyed the food. Don't miss out. read more

13 years later and I don't even know where to begin as to how far this place has faller? Still same atmosphere, Michelle the waitress was an absolute treasure, bartenders staff all helpful and friendly, but MY GOD the food was for the most part AWFUL! The French onion soup was 100% delicious, although the soup itself was more on the lukewarm side rather than piping hot underneath the perfectly melted cheese. It is next where everything goes south. The "Delmonico" their long standing famous steak was hands down the worst cuts of meat in history. At least 8 ounces of waisted fat & grizzle to a tough flavorless piece of meat. The 'Famous" Arthurs potatoes tasted like they were sitting on a flat frill all day soaked in grease inedible. The real killer was the "FRENCH DIP" I have no words to describe the absolute disaster this sandwich was. Dry, chewy overcooked leftover roast beef from who knows where? It tasted like meat from a Swanson TV Dinner. The Au Jus was brown thin tasteless liquid. The side of coleslaw was so small it was not worth mentioning. Not quite sure what is going on here, still a full house and captive audience, but 13 years later, this is my last visit here. read more

I had reservations about ordering a 24 ounce Delmonico steak with mashed potatoes for only thirty something dollars. But I decided to give it a try. And WOW, it was much better than expected. Hardly any grizzle and not overly fatty. Rather it was crusty on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The French Onion Soup was magnificent....so scrumptious and topped with a substantial of top quality cheese. The ambience was inviting and made for a fun place. Finally, the service was perfect with a knowledgeable and attentive server. I want to go back! read more

We had exactly the meal we were hoping to have here. As I found out, it's somewhat of a local staple and that is for a good reason. We walked in at 5 PM on a Friday night and we were seated right away but beware if you go any later than 530 you might have to wait. I got the French onion soup in the fillet and my dad got the del monaco. The soup was great, but the steaks were insane. The fillet was very tender, but it locked the flavor that the Delmonico had. You have to get one of their special steaks if you go. I'm not knocking on my flight. It was one of the most tender flavors I've ever had. This was one of the best steaks, my dad or I have had out. Our server here was amazing. You can tell she's been working here for a while and loves it. We had such a wonderful, fun experience and a five star meal in a casual ambience. Also take note that at 6:30 PM when we got out, people had a hard time finding parking in the back. Go early and you shouldn't have any problems! read more

Did it again. Absolutely our favorite place. Fresh and generous. As good or better than any place in Manhattan or elsewhere, without the high prices. Fast service. Great. See ya all again soon! Thanks read more

Well, this place has gone downhill. I was here 3 years ago when I was visiting New Jersey and it was delicious. We went over the weekend and the service was horrible. My steak was over cooked / very little flavor. HARD PASS!! read more

This place serves perhaps one of the best steaks I've ever had. Their delmonico is their signature steak and I have yet to find another steak that compares to it. The ambience is a festive hometown pub with plenty of hospitality to go around. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

Arthur's Tavern - 24oz Delmonico - Pubs Near Me - Morris Plains, New Jersey

I love a good Irish pub and Arthur's is always a great choice. I've been coming with my family since I was a kid. The steaks are truly some of the best I've ever had. The 24oz Delmonico is their top seller and is always delicious. It comes with a side of potatoes (my absolute favorite!). Portion sizes are large and prices are fairly reasonable. On the menu, there are a few other steak options, burgers, etc. but the menu isn't super extensive. Most recently I got the New York Strip which was basically a smaller version of the Delmonico. They do run weekly specials including apps, entrees, and drink options. It gets super busy on the weekends so it's best to get there earlier. They also accept reservations. Plenty of seating downstairs and upstairs. It's a little quieter upstairs since the bar area is downstairs. The staff is very efficient as many of them have been working there for years. Arthur's is a true gem!!! read more

Arthur's Tavern - New York Strip - Pubs Near Me - Morris Plains, New Jersey

This place was first built in 1917, and became known as Arthur's Tavern in 1957. The inside is very cool with its beautiful bar and tin roof. This past Tuesday was the first time I've been here in over 30 years and it really hasn't changed. On a Tuesday night in March, the place was packed! My stepson and I got a nice table right by the front window. In this setting, we had to start off with a Guinness! A hallmark of this place is the dish of pickles served when you sit down. Great touch! We ordered the pretzel appetizer which was small pretzels served with cheese and mustard. We both ordered steaks, I went with the Delmonico which was huge. Served with delicious crispy potatoes, I loved the meal. Arthur's is a classic in Morris County. Whether just going for drinks or dinner, it's a fun place to check out! read more

Best French onion soup ever. We both ordered and loved it. Their delmonico steak is seasoned perfectly. The service tonight was probably the best we've ever had. My favorite decor is the lighting all around the first floor, large alcohol bottles hanging from the ceiling as light fixtures. read more

First time back in a year or two and it just doesn't hit the way it used to. While the Farmer's Onion Soup is still the best around, I thought our server was kind of rude and my Seafood Combo dinner was a miss - crabcake was falling apart and different temperatures; shrimp were way overcooked and salmon was undercooked. I completely understand it's hard to plate all of those things at the same time...but why serve it that way if it's not possible? Everyone seemed to like their steaks but received the wrong sides. Would still go back for patio drinks or a soup/salad lunch but not sure what happened this weekend. read more

IYKYK. The steal of the century is not the DelMonico steak; although if you like big portion, plenty of fat/grizzle, a unique char taste of buttery goodness...then you have been coming here for decades for that Arthur's fix. My go-to ... the BURGER! It's ground beef perfection, medium rare with an onion slice! (Parrot head reference!) under $10 for a plain burger but add cheddar, imo. Roasted potatoes are good always - the pickles & red spicy pepper on the table have tradition in the pickle juice. Service is always good, at times inattentive, but altogether standard with some waitresses fixtures in this establishment since Ronnie left office! The Chicken Sandwich is a go-to as well if you're not in the mood for the DelMonico. Not the roasted pepper one on the menu ... ask for the OG! Lettuce & tomato w/ side of Mayo. Done & Done. You're welcome! read more

Local favorite. Good food, bad service (Michelle). Steaks always perfect but experience is mute if the service sucks. Loud, crowded atmosphere appreciated by locals. Will be a while before I go back. read more

I'm on my revenge tour of my old favorite haunts and tonite I found myself near Arthur's. My last visit here was over 25 years ago to celebrate the birthday of a deceased buddy. It hasn't changed but either the bathroom got much smaller or I got much bigger. I felt like a grizzly stuck in a fridge. Any way, I had the Speedwell Strip for $44 and it was worth every penny! The servers were attentive, prompt and even laughed at my lame azz jokes. Still a great value steakhouse and I look forwaed to my next visiit hopefully this decade. read more

Have been there twice. Had steak, garlic bread, French Onion Soup 1st time, steak sandwhich and the Onion soup the second time. Everything was great! The only complaint is there are no reservations, it's very popular (for good reason), so the wait for a table can be long (especially on the weekend). But, it;s worth the wait! My new go-to place for steak! read more

This place is great! Can't wait to go back! Delmonico steaks, creamed spinach and a Guinness. Chefs kiss!

Okay, so this one is a tough review for me, let me explain. Having lived in Morris Plains for 20+ years and my dining companions 30+ years, it may seem odd, but we had never been to Arthur's for dinner. The biggest draw back, for me anyway, is that everyone complains about the noise level. Having been there this past Sunday, we figured it would be slower and more quiet at the end of a three-day holiday weekend, and it was. Whew. We ordered a few drinks, as well as the pork chop, a filet mignon (asked to be butterflied and cooked well) and a burger and the waitress was super-friendly, even before we told her that this was our first time. Drinks came right on time, and were good. Nothing to complain about. We're chatting at the table and a gentleman from the kitchen (Eric) came to our table with a piece of paper. He stood between us and the table next to us and in a louder than expected voice told us that we ordered a steak butterflied and that's noting something you are supposed to ask for here, and told us as an exception, they would do it, but would not honor this request again. I actually thought he might be joking at first, but he wasn't. We all looked at each other and around the dining room and menu to see if a request was a no-no, but nothing. I'm seething at this point. Why would you come out of the kitchen to embarrass us like that? It not like we asked for anything out of the ordinary here, if it were a huge problem, just bring the raw steak out, and I'll cut the thing nearly in half and then you can throw it on the grill. We were told by the waitress that "they don't do things like that here", to which I said "do things to make diner happy?" Can you imagine Ruth's Chris, Cap Grille, Rod's or any other restaurant that specializes in beef telling you that they won't do something like butterfly a steak? It really did ruin our evening, simply because we did not ask for anything out of the ordinary, unless you're at Arthur's, where they will go out of their way to make you feel like a fool. Honestly, it would have taken a fraction of the time he took for him to confront us, than it would have to run a knife down a steak and call it a day. As we were walking back to the car, I happened to see Eric, the people pleasing machine working the kitchen at Arthur's, and confronted him. I told him how I felt about being treated this way, for a request that any other restaurant would have happily fulfilled. He did apologize and genuinely seemed to not realize our level of frustration by being chastised for a simple request in front of other diners in a town we lived in. Sadly, I really did enjoy my meal, it was cooked nicely and the chop was quite large. The rest of the table enjoyed their meals as well, but I don't think we'll be going back. We know full well that this review will have no impact on their business culture, the lines at the door tell me people are willing to just shut up and stay quiet, but a simple request should be honored and if not, PLEASE state so on the walls and/or menu. read more

This is one of the best meals I've ever had in my life at restaurants. The waitresses were super kind and got our food out as quick as possible. There were was amazing prices. They had nice lighting and the ambiance was amazing. In the quality was amazing 10 out of 10 would go again. read more

Hate to say it but after years of Arthur's great food the last one was like chewing on an old phone book. Had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. Too bad. I think it was way better when Arthur was alive. Oh well nothing lasts forever. read more

Yum!! I always have a blast and enjoy my meal when I come here. The steak is huge and always cooked very well. It also comes with potatoes, which is great. The french onion soup is so big and can easily be shared. It's super cheesy and flavorful. The service was done well and food came out pretty quickly. Great vibe and pretty lively. read more

The service here was fantastic! Our server was on point and so kind. The ambiance was giving American tavern with an Irish flare. The food was okay at best.

Stopped by for the first time in many years, went to the one in Hoboken, so wanted to try this one. They have no reservations - first come, first served and your party must be there as a whole group. Decor reminds you of a checkerboard red-white decor and an internal awning over the bar area. Seating first, second floors, and outside. Pickles & hot peppers for table appetizers for free - these are great and people were remarking on the peppers. Simple polyester table covers and knives and forks that don't cut so well. The appetizers - naked wings w/ buffalo was ok, hot temperature-wise but not crispy on the wings. The piled nachos were ok, could've used a bit more cheese. The garlic bread was too hard of a bottom but lots of cheese and garlic made up for that - very greasy though. The French onion soup was proclaimed as one of the best by one of my dining mates. Cowboy steak - ribeye with a bone, was ok - half the steak was well-marbled and done medium rare without issue, a little gristly but not too much fat. The other half, though was dry and tough, not well-marbled so I feel like the cut was off, or they overcooked the second half as overdone since it wasn't as thick. Disappointed there. Mashed potatoes with it were good, and the asparagus was boiled and not much flavor. A1 on the table if you needed it, side of mushrooms was very good, but salty. Overall, had better steak and apps, but the French Onion soup looked great and the top of the garlic bread and the mashed potatoes were solid. Pickles and peppers were the highlight per the group of us who dined (7). read more

Absolute staple in Morris Plains. I have been coming here since I was a kid and has been only gotten better. The best Farmer's/ French Onion Soup around with soo much gooey cheese. The old school bar decor is always fun to look at while eating and trying to spot who you know in the framed pictures. Even if you're not local, I recommend checking out Arthur's. read more

Been in this area for almost 60 years and I've never been here, so I decided to meet a friend and try it out. First off it's a very loud place without any sound absorbing materials in the bar itself. That's OK, but I just wanted to warn everybody that it is a very loud place The waitress was extremely nice and let us talk and reminisce about our friendship. She gave us time to order and was extremely helpful when we asked questions. We ended up staying for three hours talking the whole time and catching up. It was very nice of the waitress to let us do that. But it was on a Wednesday evening. We had the mozzarella bread for an appetizer, which was very good. The only problem is is all the cheese stuck to the tinfoil, and maybe it should be presented on wax paper or parchment paper, something other than tinfoil. I had the Smashburger, which was excellent, cooked the way I liked it and it also had sautéed onions which were delicious. I took part of the bun off because I just didn't want to eat that much bread, but it was really good without a top bun. My friend had the tuna And he loved it. It came with some very smooth and silky mashed potatoes and vegetables. He said the tuna was seared perfectly, and the soy ginger sauce was excellent. I would go back for another meal anytime soon read more

Service was good at the table, but the barmaid spent more time talking to patrons then serving new customers sitting down at the bar. Food was very salty which ruined the flavor. read more
