Great for a basic lunch or dinner with classic American food, and some drinks from the bar. Their pizzas are always on point. Some of the entrees can be hit or miss - sometimes lacking flavor, a little too greasy, etc. Service can also be somewhat slow, a lot of young servers who seem to be easily distracted. It's a good place for if you're not in a rush and want a good pizza, or any other basics like burgers and wings. The indoor bar is always crowded if you like being around people, and the outdoor seating patio in the back has a nice chill ambiance. read more

A local bar and grill spot to get a decent meal with an alcoholic beverage while watching sports. The inside has a good bar area with additional table seating. We sat outside that has a nice set up with heaters and covering all around the deck. The pepperoni puffs were a hit and the sandwich on the special menu. The tots were a miss as they weren't crispy enough and were a bit dry with the chili not being very saucy. The server was very helpful and you could tell a lot of locals come here from the way she interacted with the other tables. read more

Great pub with good food. The food was prepared and served quickly. Bar tenders know what they're doing and are very attentive. I ordered a French dip sandwich. It was good but the roll was stale. This was my only negative. read more

After 12 years, I have given this place another chance. I'm glad that I did! I understand that the owners and chef has changed hands since then. Came here on a Friday night, it was super packed and lively! We were seated on the enclosed patio which was cute, but a little chilly, even with the heaters running. But, it wasn't unbearable. Ashley was our friendly server. We ordered cocktails, an app, and entrees. All which were solid. I really did enjoy my martinis, both well balanced and tasty. I decided on a French martini and a cosmo. Others tried the espresso martini which they said could've been a little more creamy. The pretzel was nice. I enjoyed my chicken Italiano sandwich.. the bread was soft and the chicken was juicy. Definitely enjoyed my onion rings, they were delicious! Prices were reasonable even in this inflation ridden climate. Solid experience. read more

Brunswick Grove - Chicken Italiano with onion rings.. - New American Near Me - East Brunswick, New Jersey

A nice local joint where you can get Pub food and has a great bar especially during special sports events. They have plenty of TVs and the patrons always are involved in cheering on their teams which make the experience even better. The food can be sometimes inconsistent if you're going for things other than your typical Pub food but if you stick to bar food, it's good and worth your time. just order your wings and a burger with a cold beer and you'll be all good. read more

This review is based on an average of several trips to this restaurant. I enjoy coming to the Grove and my husband and I love the fact that they have outdoor seating with heat lamps. The service is pretty good and food usually comes out quickly. This time I opted for the mac and cheese with short rib (a dish I have ordered a couple of times). This particular visit I found that the dish was very cheesy, to the point that it resembled a soup. This experience won't deter me from coming back, but I will likely order a boli next time as I find they are more consistent. read more

Brunswick Grove - Mac and Cheese (with short rib) - New American Near Me - East Brunswick, New Jersey

Brunswick Grove is a local sports bar that offers your standard American dishes and bar apps, but everything about this place is just average. The ambiance was what you would expect for a sports bar. They do have an outdoor patio where they have additional seating when it's warmer. The service was unfriendly and inattentive...the waitress that took our order seemed so disinterested to the point where I think she would rather watch paint dry. As for the food, their wings were decent, however my fish tacos did not taste like fish tacos at all. They had these weird clumps of batter in them, and it seemed like there were so many onions, tomatoes and lettuce to the point where I felt like I was just eating a salad over a tortilla. At the price point and service, there are much better options than BG. read more

Disgusting experience, mysterious liquids pooled up in their centerpieces get all over your food when you go to put ketchup on your food. Then you get an attitude from the servers and Old Guy manager (owner?) if you hand it back and don't want to eat after how gross it was. Continually disgusting conditions and poor service, only open because it's a local dive bar tradition. Let's not forget how this place was closed down by the Liquor Board in the not too distant past. Google Operation Swill. read more

This place is so much fun - it was busy even at 6pm! We were there from 6 to midnight and had a blast. We ordered a couple rounds of Paloma's, margs as well as the penne vodka which came with the house salad. The portions are huge so it's great especially when you're drinking read more

5 stars for one of the best thin, perfectly prepared pizza in the area (besides Mancini's which is obviously a pizza joint and specializes in pizza). Ordered a large white pizza with sausage and garlic and the inside was perfectly baked with ricotta cheese. Highly recommend ordering this even as a bar bite. It's sooooo good. Ordered the French dip sandwich too - was pretty solid and decent fries but nothing special. Now - the item that I would dock stars is the zeppole bites. This was ordered back in the winter of 2021. I didn't want to write a terrible review since I wanted to give them a chance with other foods. It tasted like pizza dough with powdered sugar and a side of chocolate dipping sauce. So disappointing. The upside I was there grabbing drinks and wanted to stay longer and they were more than happy to accommodate and check in from time to time. The outdoor seating area was also very roomy and comfortable and I'd recommend this spot for quick drinks or hosting an event if looking for a nice space in the local area. read more

We usually do our soccer team pizza parties here because it's local, inside has a huge amount of space for large groups and they have awesome seating in a closed patio area with heaters for the winter. Service is usually pretty good. I'd like to add their bar pies are delicious! read more

Maybe not bring dinner two seconds after you bring out the appetizers.My dinner was cold because of it. Waitress even asked if we wanted the app to come out first and we said yes. I expressed my unhappiness, but was not even given a response. Will not be returning as this is not the first time. read more

First impression....friendly neighborhood establishment where you can listen to music and watch some sports on the numerous TVs throughout the bar. Went around 8 just to grab bar snacks and, of course, tasty libations, lol. Grabbed our bar stools, and within seconds, the bartender greeted us, offered menus to get us situated. The menu has something for everyone, from salad and soup to burgers and fries. And of course everyones favorite PIZZA! Grabbed some fries and onion rings. The rings were crispy and delicious. For drinks opted for margaritas and LITs. They were descent, but not strong enough to give you the tingle feeling after the first sip, though lol. Will return to try some additional items on the menu and enjoy the vibe. read more

We normally LOVE the food here, byt tonight was the second time we ordered take out burgers and got hockey pucks instead. Too thin, overcooked, tasteless bun. We regularly order take out from them and love everything we have gotten, but if you want an overpriced burger, this is NOT the place to go! read more

Absolutely the worst burger I've ever had in a restaurant, including fast food places. Ordered it med rare and somehow the thin dry patty wound up still being slightly pink but absolutely horrible. The "onion straws" that were supposed to come on top were ice cold, slimy, and probably fried hours ago and set aside for when someone ordered this burger. It was absolutely disgusting. The fries were stale and terrible. My husbands boli was small, mostly dough, and flavorless. The server was nice, and the beer was cold. The only saving grace. But I will never be back. Not only shitty food but expensive. I don't understand how this place is always packed, maybe lack of options in the area. I miss the grove of 20 years ago when the bar was good and the food was too. This place ain't it anymore for me read more

It may be our local watering hole , but it's ours! Staff is on point and friendly. I guarantee you will have a friendly conversation with someone. The chicken Italiano is delicious and so is Grove chicken sandwich. Wings are delicious and so are the bar pies. A nice selection of beers on tap!!! Enjoy! read more

Excellent bar food and even better service. Felt very welcome with my wife and two small children.

the service was soooo bad It's Mother's Day we ( my family of 4 adults) got there at noon We put in our drink and app order which took an hour. Our table worked so we put spare napkins under the leg. The waitress A slim young blond wearing all black and a lululemon jacket working the patio at 12:15 pm On 5/12/24 ignored us I've been going to the grove for 26 years and loved it so much I specifically wanted to go for Mother's Day. Never ever ever again!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Here is the Yelp review I'm sure this place was expecting when our party left the Brunswick Grove last Saturday afternoon 9/12/2020. I waited a few days to post because I didn't want to be accused of posting a review hastily. I assure you this is an actual review of my visit as part of a larger group to this location. We came here because we wanted to celebrate a special occasion. Everyone in our party has been here before except 2 people. I have always come here vowing to never to order mixed drinks from the bar based on their previous practice many years ago of refilling empty premium bottles with non-premium brand liquor. We were accomodated with little issue. Everyone in our party seemed to like their patio set up and tvs but sadly after this there was no other pleasant experience about this place. As far as the Brunswick Grove overall goes - it's a dump. Food was horrible, service was horrible and management was pathetic. If there is any way to give some of these places negative stars so they begin to take notice, this is a place that would certainly deserve it. We walked in at before 1pm to watch tables around us be served their food and pay their bill before we even got our appetizers. We had people in our party not get the food they had ordered. And the food that came out was cold and disgusting. The "manager" came out and then disappeared like he was Harry Houdini all the while our server was non-existent until the very end when she comes out and says "I wasn't aware of any issues with your party." It took them 2 hour ticket times (!!!!) to make pierogies, and steak sandwiches and chicken wings, french onion soup, pasta and meatballs but their mea culpa was that they were short staffed. Funny how the other tables got service and left before we even got our food. 2 people in our party didn't even get their order and left with only drinking water. The only comp they gave us for the disaster and their negligence was popcorn. Definitely would not reccomend. read more

SERVICE - Very friendly staff with lots of smiles :) We were greeted and seated right away. Foods & drinks were served timely. AMBIENCE - Casual and relaxed. Nothing fancy but comfortable and clean. We came here on a Thursday evening for dinner and it was nice and quiet even though there was a good number of people. FOOD - Good portions with decent pricing. Not the most appealing presentation but everything was delicious. A very satisfying meal! [POPCORN] - This was served right after we sat down. Not sure what it was about these popcorns but they had a really nice texture! Perfectly salted. Addicting. We had to ask our server to take it away :p [FISH TACOS] - $8/2 tacos - Perfectly sized fried fish chunks. Nice and thin layer of batter. The fiance and I enjoyed these very much! [BLACKENED CHICKEN STROMBOLI] - $8.50 - This thing was HUGE and very filling. Great flavor but pretty salty and too much cheese maybe? It's supposed to be "hot & spicy grilled chicken" but it wasn't spicy at all. Would be perfect if the Stromboli comes with a side of some salad or veggies. Definitely wanna try the other flavors! [GROVE STUFFED BURGER] - $9.50 - I couldn't taste all the different cheese in here but it was a very good burger. Patty was cooked perfectly and very juicy. Served with some (really good) fries, cole salw, and pickle. [DIRTY MARTINI W/ GIN] - $9 - Far from the best dirty martini I've had :p I wouldn't get this next time. read more

Brunswick Grove - Short Rib Grilled Cheese - New American Near Me - East Brunswick, New Jersey

Been a long time since I ate here, but now I've had a chance to do so and give this place its just due. The food here is pretty fair. The prices are unfair. It's on this uneven footing for a pretty even keeled review. I went here with my mother tonight after a pretty long day. We both got a chicken and broccoli Stromboli and shared a bar-sized regular pie. The food took a bit longer than expected to get to us, but when it did, we weren't blown away. The Strombolis we had looked more like baked ciabatta bread with filling than an actual Stromboli. While it did taste good (it also comes with honey mustard), I felt there was much room for improvement. The bar pie was actually really good. Then again, most pizza joints are better than anything I've really tried down South. It comes with the territory. Again, prices were high. But then again my mother did have two sangrias so that might've been the reason the bill was pushed northward. I'd come back here but only for the pizza. read more
