The steak on the salad was a nice protein add-on, though the overall combo felt a bit heavy once everything was together. The patty melt was rich and flavorful, and the fries were exactly what you'd expect--crispy and satisfying. Overall, good if you're in the mood for something indulgent, but probably better to split or pace yourself. Would come back, just might order a little lighter next time.

Tender chicken and vegetables in a creamy sauce, topped with a flaky puff pastry. Service was very good, the food hit the mark, and we'll definitely be back

The staff was just as delightful as the food. The young man who greeted us made sure to see that we were comfortable seated. Our waiter Kyle (i think) could not have been more attentive and the General Manager, Sal made us want to stay for dessert & coffee. He went out of his way to make us feel at home. We will definitely be back again and again.

Our server, Mike, was super nice and attentive. I had the Steak Frites with Bleu Cheese Mushroom sauce which was pretty good. It was creamy and I had enough to take as leftovers! We shared the Smores Skillet for dessert. I didn't love it - felt like it could use something else, perhaps a scoop of ice cream? My absolute favorite thing to get at either Shannon Rose location is the Cheddar Boxty! They can never take this off their menu - it's amazing!

The tater tots are magical! Crispy, fresh and golden. My husband makes fun of the fact that I order tater tots everywhere they're offered, but even he admits these are awesome. The restaurant definitely lives up to its name - there is an extensive and I mean EXTENSIVE beer list, and they are always adding new craft beers and selections from local breweries. The bourbon, whiskey and scotch list is pretty respectable too. There's always something happening here: trivia/bingo nights, a tapping event, or when UFC is on, so the variety in food and entertainment keeps things constantly interesting. The beer garden is open for the warm weather so you can dine outside as well. Service is great!

My coworker and I ate here twice during a single week. The place has a cool vibe, nice interior,…read moreand friendly staff. The reason for the 2 stars is because of this experience: On the first visit we ordered nachos. There was probably a tablespoon of pico de gallo on top. When we asked for some salsa, the server said that the pico de gallo should be enough, so basically she was saying, "No, you can't have any salsa." The nachos were extremely dry because of the small amount of cheese and pico de gallo. We asked again if we could have any salsa and this time her reply was, "We only make salsa on Thursdays." What the heck? You have nachos on the menu but only have salsa on one day of the week? She eventually did bring us one of those small plastic cups filled with about another 2 tablespoons of pico de gallo, but definitely not enough for a tray of nachos. On the second visit, one of the employees overheard my coworker say that she was going to order the impossible burger. He proceeded to go on and on (and I really do mean go on and on) about how awful the impossible burger is at this place. Opinions are fine but there's no need to make someone feel bad about what they want to order.

All of the food including Irish Beef Stew, a Dublin Burger, Fish & Chips, Bangers & Mash, Philly Cheesesteak, French Dip, a Sliced Steak Sandwich, & a Grilled Chicken Italian Sandwich were delicious. We had some appetizers, as well- French Onion Soup, Chicken Noodle Soup & Buffalo Fingers-all good. Many of us brought home part of the meals because of the generous portion sizes. Our server, Samantha, kept our glasses filled & was very attentive. She went above and beyond by bringing the birthday cake out with lighted candles and then cutting the cake into individual pieces-thanks Samantha! I recommend the Grasshopper without hesitation.

I ordered a French Dip with au jus sauce. They put cheese on it! French Dips do NOT have cheese…read moreon them. I sent it back and told them to take the cheese off. The au jus sauce tasted like soup out of a can - very salty, too. The French Fries were old and tasteless. The pickle was old, and the cole slaw was nothing but a teeny, tiny plastic cup of water with tiny bits of cabbage floating on top. I have never, ever been more disappointed in a restaurant. The server got several bills mixed up at the end of the meal. Fortunately for me, I paid in cash; but others who paid with credit cards had a terrible time. We drove there from West Milford. When we first walked in, we could smell bleach!

A cozy, very popular Ridgewood spot with good food--but come prepared for tight seating and a…read morelively atmosphere. We stopped in mid-week for a family dinner after work and even on a Wednesday the place was buzzing. The restaurant itself is pretty tiny, which makes for a cozy atmosphere but also means tables are very close together. If you can, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. The menu is somewhat minimal, but the food overall was good. I eat gluten-free and noticed the options were a bit limited, which made ordering slightly challenging. I ended up going with the sea scallops. They were nicely cooked, but the portion was smaller than I expected--five small scallops with some vegetables. For the price, I do wish the portion had been a bit more generous. I have to admit I left still a little hungry. My dad ordered the short rib grilled cheese and really enjoyed it. That was probably the standout dish at our table. My sister ordered the honey bourbon chicken and said it was okay, but afterward she mentioned she probably should have gone with the short rib grilled cheese instead. One surprise of the night was live music on a Wednesday. I usually enjoy live music, but since we were hoping to catch up as a family it made conversation a little difficult. The music was fairly loud for such a small space. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. They also have a rewards program, which worked out nicely--my dad received a complimentary dessert for his birthday. I ordered the crème brûlée, which was a great way to end the meal. A couple practical tips: parking in Ridgewood can be tricky. The restaurant advertises valet parking, though we didn't use or see it during our visit. If you find street parking, make sure to feed the meter because the town is known for giving out tickets. In warmer months they do offer some outdoor sidewalk seating, though it looks fairly limited. It also appears they have a happy hour, though we didn't arrive in time to try it. Overall, I'd recommend checking out Steel Wheel Tavern--just be mindful of the timing of your visit, especially if you're hoping for a quieter dinner.
