Food: We started with garlic bread that was absolutely awesome, followed by grilled octopus with a perfectly balanced, succulent marinade. I had shrimp with pasta, while my mother-in-law enjoyed a fillet of sole stuffed with crab meat and my wife had the cavatelli with broccoli. Everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. Service: Our waitress, Casey, was excellent. Always checking in and very polite throughout the meal. She made the whole dining experience feel welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. Aesthetic: The restaurant has a warm, inviting look with stonework accents along the walls and an open barn-style concept. The lighting creates a comfortable atmosphere, and there's plenty of seating for both small groups and larger gatherings.

I love them. The wings are a bit on the smaller side but sauce and cooking is great. The chowder flavor was great it was a bit thinner that I prefer and more potatoes would have been perfect. Lastly the special drunk grandpa pizza was great. Quiet in here tonight but it's a Sunday in a local pub so as expected.

I will leave it to you to decide whether Shakey Jakes Cafe is a dive bar, but they seem to take pride in it. As you will see upon arrival the door mentions that Shakey Jakes is recognized by Yelp & NJ.com as one of the top Dive Bars in Jersey. Bartenders are super friendly, helpful & professional. I sampled Bombay Sapphire, which is offered in a small glass or beer goblet...humm okay I'll bit let's go Big! I ordered the Steamed Clams, which come with croastini. On the menu it is offered with a Cajun Garlic Butter, I replaced that with just the regular drawn butter. Wow--wonderful nice size clams with the toasted bread, delicious. I loved it so much I had a second order. If you are are a steamed clam fan don't forget to sample the clam broth. This place is a keeper. I sent a picture of the front door of Shakey Jakes to my wife and son. I mentioned that "If I go missing this is the place to start." I showed the text to the Bartender, she got a huge kick out of it and said you are not from around here are you?

The event was at The Lake Room with spectacular views of Lake Hopatcong. There was a bubbly bar where guests can make your own mimosas from a display of prosecco, accompanied by assorted juices and a variety of fresh seasonal berries. I enjoyed making my own fruity and tropical pineapple mimosas. The brunch buffet consisted of scrambled eggs, French toast, bacon, mixed spring greens salad with balsamic vinaigrette, assorted seasonal fruits, yogurt parfaits, chicken francese, penne a la vodka, and garlic green beans. All the food I had was very good, flavorful, delectable, and filling. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They came around asking if we needed anything and cleared plates. Water, coffee, tea, and soda were included. The Lake Room is very spacious and has high ceilings.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesesteaks and enjoyed my burger more (it was a smash burger with nice horseradish sauce on it) but the cheesesteak was also one of the better ones I've had.

I cannot begin to express all that Rosie and her staff did to make this fundraiser such an amazing success for everyone involved. Their generosity, compassion, and dedication were evident every step of the way. The food and service were excellent, as always. The only complaint? The portions are TOO BIG! Everything was fresh, delicious, and made to order. Rosie is always one of the first people to step up and support our community. Her kindness and willingness to help others make Polo's much more than just a great place to eat and enjoy a drink. We couldn't ask for a better person or a better place to gather with family and friends. A heartfelt thank you to Rosie and the entire staff for all that you do. Our community is fortunate to have you! Highly recommended!

There is a full bar which is huge and can make any drink you wish. They have some excellent specialty cocktails. We ordered the guacamole and chips before ordering delicious entrees. We also got the corn and split it so we had room for dinner. I had the rib eye special with a chimichurri sauce, spinach mashed potatoes, and veggies. The steak was perfectly medium rare and the sauce was perfection. I never had spinach mash before but felt good about getting some extra iron in my carbs. I didn't love the zucchini, (weird taste) but the other veggies were fine. My friend picked the burger and fries to satisfy their beef craving. The fries were crispy and perfect while my friend said her burger was excellent. Other friend went for the salmon and veggies, she enjoyed it and had to bring some home because it was a big serving. Last friend got the chicken rice bowl special and opted for grilled chicken instead of fried. They were super accommodating about making changes so we had exactly what we wanted. Again, big portion so she is excited to have lunch tomorrow. The music is very lively and the service is excellent. Be sure to stop in but do make reservations. We decided to grab dessert and had the lemon raspberry cake plus some of the homemade sorbet. One cappuccino and a cup of tea made us all happy and we enjoyed a nice leisurely meal. My friends had not been here before and we all plan on coming back soon. There was valet parking, so be aware and bring some cash for tips if you are so inclined.

This place is not prepared for more then 2 tables. took 30 minutes to get our drinks, 45 minutes to get our food. Hamburgers and Tacos. not a complicated order. 45 minutes to wait for food and they got my order wrong. I ordered Fish Tacos, saw the waitress (bar tender) write it down. Not sure how it translated to a salad??? So had to send it back and wait 20 more minutes to get my "Fish Tacos" (came out as "Shrimp Tacos"). Had to get it to go since it was over and hour and we had to get back to work. Party of 5, and I had to watch everyone eat and then I had to carry my lunch in a to go bag and eat it when I got back to the office. I kow there is good reviews listed but that must obviously be when the are fully staffed at night. Their staff today 6/16/2026. One server, Bartender, and chef. That is very poor management. multiple parties walked in while we were sitting and watch them take 15 to 20 minutes to be seated. This was the 3rd time we tried this place for lunch and it always takes 30 to 45 minutes to get food. Will be the last and we always tell our Corporate coworkers to NOT go there becuse it take way to long. You can go to Reno's right down the street with 10 people and each lunch with in an hour.
