How in the world does this restaurant only have 2.9 stars?! Our friend had a birthday dinner here,…read moreso we reluctantly drove here, not expecting much after seeing the reviews, but the food was so good!!! They use fresh ingredients, don't skimp out on bread quality, and the meals were all flavorful. Tried a bite of one of the 3 pulled pork sliders, and the meat was so tender and had a delectable BBQ flavor. People were enjoying the nachos. My husband got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich $18, and I got the Classic Cab Burger $17 to be safe. Needless to say, we did not have to be "safe." Every dish was delicious. Think, "Better than Bergen County diners." It's not a fancy restaurant, but also not a lousy joint. They have pretty decent food! If they were in Bergen County, I'd probably frequent this restaurant. Interior is quaint -- built in 1771, with stone walls and high ceilings -- and a large enough space to accommodate large parties, including outdoor tables. It's an old farm turned into a pub in 1995; they're known more for their beer.

Always have a great selection of beer and the servers are all really knowledgeable. For STOUTFEST, they started with 24 different stouts, plus they had seven other options. Good friend of mine and I went and got there early so we didn't taste any of the substitutes once kegs were kicked. I tried ten of the stouts and while I'm not usually one to drink the sweeter sounding fru-fru flavors, the few I tried were actually NOT super sweet, but just gave a hint of the flavors. I was really impressed. I thought perhaps the weather would keep people away (it was cold and snowing), but they packed the place. I was very impressed with the efficiency of the event and the crowd never seemed to complain of the line got a little long. A great event at a great brewery!

Very very good burgers! My boyfriend and I were craving burgers and fries. I am vegan and he's a…read moremeat lover so I really appreciate places like this where both vegan and non vegans can have a great meal! I built my own burger and got the beyond burger with vegan cheese, the vegan aioli, and other classic fixings. I also added sweet potato fries, which were fantastic, and exactly the type of sweet potato fries you can eat an entire plate of. We came here a few weeks ago, so I honestly forget what kind of burger my boyfriend got, but I know he loaded it up with a bunch of stuff and got bacon on it, and he also really enjoyed it. The only reason why I'm not giving this place five stars is because our waitress only really checked in on us about one time, and it did take her a long time to come back around. We were kind of flagging her down. My boyfriend and I did mention that this place is definitely fantastic in the summer. Especially to sit outside and just enjoy some beers and appetizers. We really did like the inside though. And it's still a great place to check out in the colder months! We'd come back for sure when we get another burger craving!

Fried pickles were awesome. Love the seemingly homemade ranch. 12$ build your own burger plus fries is a fantastic deal. We'll be back just for that. Fried chicken sandwich was good! Needed more sauce but very tastey. Surprisingly the regular fries out did the sweet potato. I think I'll stick with the regular next time. Awesome beer choices. We'll be back.

What is outstanding to us is the care which all the staff and brewers show as they are there. Clearly the same love is widespread as the place was full on a Sunday afternoon. It is pleasing that many were there with their kids showing that this local business gives to the whole of the community. The enjoyment of brewing has moved past mere pub secrecy out to the whole of the community. A long calendar of events of all types from pub trivia to local music to sponsoring fellow food, eateries and holidays are all helpful to promote the family warranted nature of this business as it's clear with a large number of newborns and families as might be unusual and yet should be normalized. All staff are knowledgeable in the brewing and hospitality skills to succeed now and for the long run. Point of sale systems are able to keep open a tab and clearly distinguish ongoing bills. The marketing keeps rights with the sign ups of emails and keeping customer histories. Branding is consistent and relevant leading to a nice, smooth, comfortable customer experience. The two bathrooms are both individual and there are plenty of amenities like nooks and crannies the chat in and coat hooks and ledges and more private corners and food trucks rotate thru the good seasons and lots of lovely people always. Cheers!

Oakflower, just opened in 2022, was recommended time and time again, so we made this our first stop. I'm pleased to say it absolutely lived up to the hype. You can tell a brewery is serious about their beer when they don't offer flights or any kind of flavored seltzers. They are concentrating on making the best beer they can and it shows. 11 beers on tap with lots of hazy ales, a dangerously good 12.8% barrel aged stout, and a pale ale on nitro which I don't think I have ever seen before. We did a few tasters and a few full pours and everything we tried was fantastic. The taproom is spacious, airy, lots of plants and natural light which gave it a relaxed vibe. It was a Friday afternoon and was pleasantly full, with some of the bartenders passionately talking New York sports with some of the regulars. The friendly employees, the amazing beer, the well designed taproom, its location right across from an old train station in quaint downtown Millington... all of this together made for a perfect first visit. We live too far away to come back anytime soon, but we bought some beer to go to tide us over, and will definitely mention Oakflower to others when asked for brewery recommendations in North Jersey.

We came right before opening and waited in the car for the doors to open. Upon entering there were several people doing the same thing which speaks volumes for this place. It got busy right away and there was some type of event going on in the back too. Everyone was there to enjoy their beers and boy were they enjoyable. The girl who waited on us was very nice and honest as she gave my gf her brand new Chanel sunglasses she had left on the counter earlier when we were ordering. Thank you! This place has chill brewery vibes as you can see their production area and it's pretty spacey and I love how they are in an old post office building. They have a lot of board games to play while enjoying your beers and they also sell some merch. We ordered a flight: - Resting Grinch Face, Winter Warmer 5/5 - Terrible Twos Anniversary, Imperial Hazy IPA 5/5 - Kite and Key, Hazy IPA 5/5 - BOO-Yah, American Porter 5/5 Every beer was tasty af!!!

On a Sunday night, we were surprised to see so many people enjoying the evening.

We enjoyed a flight and chose the Rustle dunkel, Tightrope schwarzbier, Resting Grinch face winter warmer, and the Boo-Yah porter. Loved them all and they have much more on tap, including hard seltzers as gluten-free options. Play a board game, watch sports on their TV, bring your own food, shoot some darts, and do a toast to what a wonderful year 2024 has been!

Really great that they have food during the week, but if you're fortunate enough to be there during the weekend BBQ, I don't think you can go wrong with anything they offer. Can't wait to go back.

The service was above and beyond. Also, they had some great specials on cams to go that we took advantage of. 10% off for dining at the brewery, a free branded glass with every 3 4-packs, and a free bottled stout with the purchase of a case.

As I approached the door--something many others had done before me--I was abruptly stopped by a man who turned out to be the owner. He rudely told me "NO," and then followed up with "Would you walk into a refrigerator in a restaurant?" Honestly, if the refrigerator was in the middle of where the party was being held, then yes, I probably would--especially if there was no signage saying it was off-limits. Only after this encounter did he put up an "Employees Only" sign, which tells me it wasn't clearly marked before. This could have been handled in a much more respectful and professional manner. The owner's attitude was unnecessarily rude and confrontational. If he expects people not to go in, proper signage should be in place before the event begins, not after making guests feel unwelcome.
