My mom and I stopped by Gabriele's for dinner and had a pretty good experience overall, with a few things that could definitely be improved. To start, we ordered the Loaded Bacon Potato Soup and the French Onion Soup. My loaded potato soup was rich, creamy, and full of flavor--definitely one of the highlights of the meal. For our entrées, I ordered the Short Rib Grilled Cheese with a side of Cajun Curly Fries, and my mom had the burger. To drink, I had the Hawaiian Martini, and my mom ordered a beer. The Hawaiian Martini was delicious and easily my favorite part of the meal. The biggest downside was the service. The restaurant wasn't busy, but it felt understaffed. We ended up being helped by a second server partway through our meal, and the overall service was slower than expected. My mom also wasn't happy with the temperature of her food, which took away from her experience. Overall, the food and drinks were enjoyable--especially the soup and the Hawaiian Martini--but the inconsistent service and food temperature issues kept it from being a perfect visit. read more

Usually the food is very good. But this time around it was horrible. My burger was burned and hard as a hockey puck after I asked them to make it medium well. I don't send food back because I don't trust what would happen in the kitchen. The service was ok. I'm going to take some time off from coming to Gabriells. Maybe if I reset I'll have a better experience the next time. read more

Gabriele's Bar & Grill - My messy Classic Burgerand French Fries - American Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

We were pleasantly surprised by how well prepared their wings were during the $1 Wing Wednesday deal! Super crispy skin, without having to ask for 'extra crispy' or 'fried hard'. We got half Cajun dry rub, half gochujang sauce - both flavors were great. We both ordered entrees from the specials menu - the spicy chicken rigatoni was *actually* spicy and flavorful, and the fiesta chicken salad was fresh and crisp. The drinks were also strong & tasty. Prior to this dinner visit, I've been here once before, sitting at the bar for lunch - I had a house salad with chicken - also great! The atmosphere is cool and somewhat sporty, but still feels like a standard sit-down restaurant. The service is great around lunch/early dinner time, but can become a little laggy once the place starts to fill up and get busy. read more

Place is just weird. Bad service, flat taps. Bye bye. Employees hate working there and it shows.

Depend on when you go, the drinks can be decent. Came here for football on a Sunday and was quickly seated at a table. The Sunday Football specials were not that special. 6 wings for $10, smashburger (by itself) was $10. Drinks with tito and casamigos was also on special. The wings were okay but the burger was very dry. Service was a little slow as well. read more

Just had some delicious burgers! Nice brioche bun, cooked perfectly. French fries were great. Started with mozzarella sticks that were yummy too! And they weren't so hot that they burned our mouths. Cute Halloween decorations too. They do charge a credit card fee, so bring cash if you care. read more

This place has become a regular for me. Great vibes on karaoke night and that's probably the only time I go. The Dj is DH and he plays a variety of music which is great. The service is okay usually, sometimes it could be a little slow. The food is decent I mean it's not giving Michelin star but it does the job. Ordered a steak asked for medium, they gave me medium well but the flavor was amazing so I let it rock. Definitely come check this place out. Also drinks aren't the best but once the liquor starts flowing who cares about the taste lol. read more

Gabriele's Bar & Grill - 16 oz. Cowboy Ribeye - American Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

I had a very disappointing experience at Gabrielle's Sunday (09/08/25) on their patio. When I asked for my bill, I was presented with two credit card slips to sign, but not the actual itemized bill showing my full order. When I asked the bartender for the detail, he ignored me. After asking again, he told me the manager had to pull it, I said I would wait. Only then did he bring me the detail, which showed that an 18% gratuity had already been added, along with a $3.50 credit card fee. Here's the problem: if I had not asked for the detail and had left my usual 20% tip, the bartender would have ended up with a 38% tip. I had paid cash, would he have pocketed the $3.50 credit card fee? His actions were dishonest and predatory. Warning to everybody, always get the itemized check and check your bill carefully before signing. read more

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Unprofessional Conduct - April 3, 2026 I am writing to formally address an unfortunate experience my friends and I had on April 3, 2026, following a celebratory outing after my play. The three of us visited your establishment to enjoy a meal. One of my friends ordered the calamari; however, it was excessively salty to the point that it was inedible. After tasting it myself, I found the level of salt overwhelming so much so that I needed to drink water immediately to alleviate the taste. When our server, Diego, checked on our table, my friend politely explained the issue. He responded that he would speak with the manager. Upon returning, he informed us that the manager stated there was nothing that could be done. We were surprised and disappointed that the manager did not come to the table personally at that point. We then requested to speak with the manager directly. When she arrived, she did not introduce herself by name or title. We respectfully directed her to the side of the table where the concern originated, rather than speaking across our food. She appeared visibly annoyed by this request. As my friend explained the issue, noting she had never experienced calamari prepared in such an overly salted manner, the manager repeatedly stated that there was nothing she could do even after being told the dish was inedible. At no point did she initially offer a replacement or alternative. When another friend asked whether there was a policy displayed on the menu regarding such situations, the manager responded by accusing us of being rude and stated, "I'm not supposed to give you a credit, but I will." This was the first mention of any form of resolution, and it was delivered in a dismissive and unprofessional tone. She also used air quotes while speaking, which further escalated the situation. At that point, one of my friends asked to speak with the manager, as Michelle had not identified herself and did not appear to be acting in a managerial capacity. She responded defensively, stating, "I don't appreciate you asking for the manager when I am the manager," and accused us of being disrespectful. Attempting to de-escalate the situation, I thanked her for the credit and asked my friend to remain quiet. However, when another friend reacted with a laugh clearly out of disbelief the manager confronted her, asking, "What are you laughing at?" This further demonstrated a lack of professionalism and appropriate customer service conduct. My friend responded appropriately, expressing surprise at the manager's demeanor and explaining that we are all professionals who expected to be treated with respect. The manager's attitude from the moment she approached the table was unnecessarily hostile. For context, I have personal experience in the service industry, having worked as a server in the past and as a supervisor for over 10 years. Based on that experience, I believe this situation reflects a clear need for additional training in customer service, communication, and conflict resolution. Please note, we are not seeking any compensation or resolution from this complaint. However, we felt it was important to bring this matter to your attention, as the level of unprofessionalism we experienced ensures that we will not be returning to your establishment. Sincerely, read more

Plenty of parking as the place is in a shopping center with a large lot. Large bar with a decent size dining room. The place is nicely decorated with plenty of TVs. As usual we sat at the bar. They have about a dozen taps. I ordered a Sam October which was cold and fresh. Food was decent. We ordered mahi tacos and chicken pot stickers. The both were good although the tacos could have had a tad more fish. Good band playing in the dining room. Service was pretty good. Worth another visit. read more

We arrived a Gabrielle's at lunchtime with only one other table seated. Our group had eight diners and we put two tables together with two additional chairs. There are several flat-screen televisions playing sports or giving sports updates. Our server seemed like she was the bartender, cook, and bottle-opener as she was very hurried throughout our experience. Gabriele's offers flatbreads, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. They do offer a Beyond Burger and with some modifications, it can be made vegan. The two salads I saw delivered to our dining group looked good. One was a Caesar salad without the Caesar dressing but instead the house vinaigrette and I don't remember the second salad. My colleague's French dip sandwich had quite a few fatty pieces that had to be removed and the Au Jus was severely lacking. It was like my ketchup which appeared in a plastic 1-ounce container with a plastic lid. In either case, the lack of ketchup and the lack of Aus Just seemed like veiled attempts at portion control which was disappointing. I thought the plate presentation was above average and almost on par with Yard House. The guacamole that I ordered with my beyond burger was average and needed a little more garlic and spice. Many in our dining group were not able to get refills on their drinks as our server had vanished. While my lunch was good, I kept thinking about why the restaurant was so slow. The front door was wide open yet that still did not attract any customers. Perhaps it's different when the Yankees are playing at night or on the weekends. In any case, I appreciate the opportunity to visit, and I hope the team enjoys success. read more

***Drink only review: a bit over priced drinks with more ice than drink is not a good look or feel. $12 for a Moscow Mule that had more ice than booze in the tiny 8 or 10oz. cup and too much ginger beer to boot. I don't mind paying a good dollar for a good drink, this was not top notch but ok. So, to sum up my experience, not a great value for sure and not made well and at a price it kinda lacks. ***I reserve the right to change my review on future visits, if fact, I come back, lol. read more

I came here for a engagement party. The private room had a bar in it. It was very spacious. There was a table set up for buffet style food; sweet chili wings, mashed potatoes, broccoli, penne noodles, Cesar salad, beef and more. The food was good, especially liked the wings. The cosmo was very good as well. The servers were quick to clear the empty plates and refill the pitchers of soda. There was enough space for a Photo Booth as well. read more

I have been to this location for a few day parties but its about time I made a review on this manager Dana. My friend ordered a shrimp dish she didn't like and only had a couple bites. Most restaurants would try to accommodate the customer but not here. I asked the very nice waiter about it and he told me the manager would not take off or try to exchange food even if the customer is unhappy. I asked to see the manager Dana which is not such a friendly person. She came over with attitude so I matched her energy. She said what the policy was and I said to her that makes no sense and most restaurants would try to make the customer happy even if they had replace the meal with something else. She said with a nasty attitude we'll do it this one time but made sure she left with "the next time you come here this won't happen again!" And walked away with a nasty attitude. When we got the bill the item was still there and I was upset for my friend. My freind found another manager and he made it right. I don't know what Dana's problem is but she needs to check her attitude at the door. read more

We had a 50 person luncheon at Gabriele's after a funeral yesterday and had such a great experience. The private room was a perfect size for the group and they had TV's all over the room which allowed us to do a picture montage in memory of the deceased. The Gabriele's team was so easy to work with on the menu and specifics, and everything turned out great. The buffet of chicken francese, beef w broccoli, salad, red potatoes, and mixed vegetables was perfect for the occasion and all of the food was very tasty. I highly recommend Gabriele's and appreciate all that they did for us! read more

I've passed this place many times over the years and never stopped because it's next to a Motel 6. Don't let that deter you like it did me. This is now one of my go to bars. They have a large bar area and the appetizers are great. The staff is knowledgeable about mixing drinks. They have special nights such as karaoke. The only con is that their drinks are too expensive. A mojito is $14. It could be because the location is near several hotels so they are expecting travelers; however most people there seem to be from the area. Beer is priced competitively. read more

I went to see the ppv boxing fight (Crawford vs Spencer) $20 entrance fee ( you cannot re-enter) once we got past the door I spotted a large sign at the door 3.5% increase on the bill if you use credit/debit. Ridiculous but I already paid the $20 cash so what options did I really have? Sat at a table outside while the DJ played and all the pre-fights played. I was upset because i wanted to hear the fight commentary more than the DJ. The menu stated that an 18% gratuity would be added to the bill. I ordered the bang pao shrimp (skip this by all cost) they were literally frozen, prepackaged, popcorn shrimp with a boom boom sauce. Ugh not for $15 + 18% gratuity + 3.5% upcharge for using my card!!! I sent it back and received hesitation from the waitress about whether the manager would take it off the menu. Thankfully they did and I ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls which were delicious! The red sangria is bottled Carlo Rossi or Sutter homes (skip) the white sangria tastes like Papi or Carlo Rossi (skip)... beer and egg rolls. That's it! Bring cash. Oh the DJ finally packed it up when the main fight came on (thankfully) and the commentary came across the speakers. I was definitely overjoyed! read more

Service was great, very attentive. We sat at the bar ordered wings Parmesan with garlic and buffalo combo. They were delicious. My favorite was the buffalo wings. Something about buffalo sauce made just for wings. I ate the whole thing. Didn't even come up for air. My drink was a special of the day: demotion vodka cherry flavor with Pepsi. It went down so smooth. I enjoyed my experience. I would definitely come back on a Sunday. read more

Great place to watch MMA and boxing matches. I watched the Mayweather vs Maidana fight here years ago just recently watched the Adesanya vs Pereira fight a few days ago. The food and service is great. read more

Food is delicious over priced but good, the drinks are overpriced and watery. However the biggest down fall is the owner the woman Dana is just rude and to me a little racist. She talks to her staff any kind of way and walks around like she runs this 5star restaurant. Nice atmosphere great during sporting events just be ready to spend $200 plus they charge for every event like $20 at the door if people stop going and find a new spot she will change her funky attitude and high prices read more

Wait took over 2 hours for a beer at the bar at 330 in the afternoon. Bartender was to busy with her bf/regular i guess and manager disnt care when i said something. After that was sorted i was charged for 10 beers when i ordered one and it turned into an argument. Do not go. Over priced and crappy staff read more

DJ was live tonight. Drinks was coming... Food got a lost a little but it found it's way to my table.

Went for a Thursday afternoon lunch...completely empty dining room except for some at the bar. I guess this is expected during a weekday afternoon at a sports bar. Ordered their classic burger and it was good, simple and juicy. Fries were crisp and service was ok. Reason for the 3-star review was that they stopped accepting coupons at the time and their credit card machine terminal was down. read more

We came here to celebrate breast cancer awareness. My sibling was diagnosed and we were here to support her on her journey. I ordered the blackened salmon jasmine rice and broccoli dinner. The food was good. It was football Sunday so the place was packed and loud. We managed to squeeze in a spot below the tv's on the wall. When the bill arrived it showed two prices one for cash and another with a $10-20 charge for using a credit card. I'm assuming this is due to inflation. We all had credit cards and some cash but not enough to cover the bill. If I had known prior to coming here I would've brought cash or went somewhere else. read more

Their lemon pepper wings are delicious . They are cooked at the right consistency. I don't like soft wings. So theirs were perfect.

Unfortunately our trip to Gabriele's was a terrible one. We had come in for happy hour last Wednesday, which we had missed because it was after 6. That was totally fine. We had been wanting to come for awhile and we decided to stay to give it a shot. We sat at the bar, where we waited 10 minutes to be even greeted by the two female bartenders. The bar was NOT packed which is what you would assume after waiting that long - but the two females kept ignoring us, paying attention to the corner of gentlemen sitting at the bar. I wasn't drinking that night, so once my boyfriend was finally approached by the bartender - he ordered a Seasonal Blue Moon and of course, she didn't pay attention and was given a regular blue moon. I had to ask the BUS BOY for the water I waited in total 20 minutes for. After not even being told the specials, what's good to eat, or actually even being spoken to at all- we had asked the employee who was sitting at the bar eating her recommendations (THANK YOU NIKKI). She recommended the chef's special (which we didn't even know they had!) which we then ordered as our meal. Once it was dropped off, both bartenders still had not checked on us once until we were finished and then asked if we anything else. Of course the answer was no. We had been there for almost 2 hours and was only spoken to a handful of times. It literally felt like they were sexist among their own gender! Or they only wanted the men's money! The only good thing about this place was that Chef's Lasagna special. The service was horrible. I included two pictures one of the lasagna, and the other of the poor girl who's drink sat empty for 20 minutes as well. read more

Food was meh and my credit card had several fraudulent charges after using it there....service was friendly.

If I could, I would give zero stars. I ordered the short rib entree and it had absolutely no flavor. I let the nice waitress, Sabrina know that I was not pleased, she apologized and took the plate. Two minutes later the owner Dana came out with an attitude and explained that it would not be removed from the bill because they get all the food from US foods and can't control how it tastes. They could only only comp if it was burnt!!!! The quesadilla that my daughter ordered was dripping with oil and Dana said they add oil to the grill but it looks good to me. She then told me she'd bring me boxes and the check. Her lack of customer service and care is why I will never be back. Be aware, if you want more than just food that comes out of a processed bag, this is not the place to eat. read more

The service, atmosphere and food was excellent. For an establishment to have "bar" in the name I expect great drinks and they failed miserably. Their drinks are extremely weak in taste and effect. The best option is wine. read more

Is this New Jersey or Scranton PA? This place reminds me of the places my family stopped at on our way to the Pocono's. Wood paneling on every surface! The decor is terrible between the wood and the 20+ TV's from 1992 but the food and service were good. My friend and I ordered burgers which were tasty and cooked to perfection. Our waiter Garret was not only handsome but attentive, my drink was never empty. read more

Slow service and the chicken was dry. I went for a nice dinner with my family and left there extremely annoyed. the manager there sould not be in a management position. she argued with me over a $12 coupon that I BOUGHT on entertainment book dining for 20 minutes when you can find a groupon or entertainment coupon for them everywhere. Be careful they'll try not to honor it! It's false advertising. Almost comical. Never going back. ...ill tell you the reason for all of the low ratings. Their customer service is HORRIBLE! read more

Thought we were pulling into a hotel and had to tell the husband that it's not that kind of happy hour, lol. Nicer inside than we expected but a disappointing experience overall. We sat at the large rectangular bar and ordered $5 mozzarella sticks and $5 sliders. Sticks were ok, a bit on the burnt side. Sliders come 3 per plate. Pulled pork for husband with an odd vinegar taste. I couldn't place the taste but it was definitely strange. Cheese steak for me and they tasted nothing like a cheese steak. Again, I couldn't place the strange taste but it was something like a sweet bbq taste. Definitely did not taste like a cheese steak. We didn't finish our sliders but boxed them to-go so we wouldn't be rude and I thought maybe if I got hungry enough I'd eat them later (wishful and/or delusional thinking). We ended up chucking them and that's saying something bc I don't like any food to go to waste. These sliders just weren't good. I couldn't bear to eat them again. We only stayed for a drink - one and done!- bc this place was kind of depressing. The waitress was so nice and friendly but the patrons were a buzz kill. The food wasn't good and it just wasn't worth staying any longer so we continued on our crawl. read more
