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.

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.

On our most recent visit, we sat at the outdoor patio seating area during happy hour - the happy hour sliders were super soft & flavorful, and the dirty Gusto chips were great. We also enjoyed a few ffordable drinks ($8-10 each) from the happy hour menu. I loved the fried goat cheese app from the regular menu - two decent sized pucks of goat cheese, fried with a light/crispy outer crust, served with a honey-fig reduction. For the entrees - the truffle Gouda smash burger had a unique blend of flavors, and the loaded mac & cheese is one of our usual favorites - soft cavatappi pasta spirals, super cheesey, and delicious salt bacon sprinkled throughout. The ambiance is casual and calm, but still more elevated than your run-of-the-mill chain restaurants, and the service was attentive & friendly.

We had our dogs with us, so we needed a restaurant that had outdoor seating. The outside tables…read morehad umbrellas and seating was comfortable. The menu is extensive. I noticed AFTER we ordered that there was a cocktail special that night. Our waitress never mentioned any specials, so I tried to flag her down after I had already ordered a different one not on the list. I mentioned to the hostess what I needed, and I hung out waiting for our waitress at the front. After waiting at least 15 min for her to show up from the back, I was able to ask her to change my drink order. The food here is FABULOUS. We got the housemade Irish soda bread and it was amazing. Hubby got the shepherd's pie and it was delicious. I got the lamb chops over asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was FANTASTIC ! I don't know if our waitress was new or what, but our meals were delivered without silverware. We waited several minutes, then finally flagged down another waitress so that we could eat ! If it wasn't for the poor service, this place could easily be 5 stars due to the fabulous food. Thankfully we got out of there before the live music started, loud music is not our vibe. At the very end of the meal, somehow my original drink order made an appearance (that's what I was afraid of, that she didn't cancel the order). The folks at the table next to us ordered the exact same cocktail, so when the bar tried to give it to us, the waitress told them to give it to the table next to us instead. Geez, we were already paying for our meal at the time. Lol The manager did come out and the end of the meal to ask how things were. I did mention I thought our waitress might be new. I didn't get an answer as to if she was, but I posed it more as a statement than a question.

Their outdoor patio is perfect for leashed and friendly dogs, with tables & chairs, a fantastic The Simpsons TV show mural, and a couple of cozy covered nooks. We were lucky to be served by the awesome bartender Chris, who happily chatted with us about our favorite bourbons. It is a full bar with some genuinely interesting options, including Eric LeGrand bourbon whiskey. His story is as powerful as the pour: after a career-ending injury at Rutgers, he has gone on to become a motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and a member of the New Jersey Hall of Fame.

I came here for a birthday dinner with a group, looking forward to some good food and drinks, and the experience honestly exceeded my expectations. It almost felt like the spotlight was on each individual person at our table. The staff made sure everyone felt taken care of without ever making it feel forced or overdone. And the cocktails? I kid you not, almost every drink came with its own special presentation, and they actually tasted just as good as they looked. The food portions were generous and great for sharing, the lighting gave the whole place a warm and intimate feel, and everything we ordered was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly to our liking. I genuinely wish I had the stomach to try more entrées. One of the finishing touches for me was the host coming over to our table toward the end of the night just to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves and everything had gone well. It may seem like a small gesture, but it says a lot about how seriously they take the overall guest experience. Between the atmosphere, food, cocktails, presentation, and service, we had a great experience from beginning to end.

Looking for the best wings in the area? Look no further! Tap and Growler is your local corner bar…read morethat makes the best wings with the biggest variety of flavors, hands down. Always cooked crispy to perfection without having to specify, which is how it should be. No stretchy chicken skin or rubbery meat found here! Each time we visit, we get three orders of wings to split and usually another sauce or two on the side to try. We really enjoy the dry rubs and they don't skimp on the seasoning either. There's always plenty floating in the bottom of the basket for extra dipping. I couldn't go through all the wing flavors we've had since that would take quite some time, but you should definitely try the Chupacabra and squeeze the lime. The sweet potato fries with Chipotle aioli are definitely worth getting too. Just a heads up, this place can get REAL busy during peak times (ie: Friday and Saturday night), so plan your visit accordingly. There are usually 1-2 bartenders who are also acting as servers, so it may take a few extra minutes, but it is well worth the wait. Staff has always been friendly and welcoming. TLDR: Great local bar serving up the best wings in town. Give them a few extra minutes to serve you if you show up on a Friday or Saturday

You should order your food before your drinks because the food takes awhile but it is so worth it. The food comes out hot. The wings were so crispy and we had so many options for dry and wet sauces. I got the Nashville hot dry rub. They get a really good coat of seasoning in the wings but I did wish it was SPICIER given it was three flames (the highest). Looking forward to going back and trying a new sauce.
