Not sure why Grasshopper has such a low rating. Yes, it's your typical pub with bar food but I would argue that they have better food than most other pubs. They have a weekly steak special with mashed potatoes and onion rings that is SOO good, I always take home leftovers and actually enjoy eating here. Last night, I stopped in from a long day at work and didn't feel like getting a meal so went for the mozzarella sticks and broccoli poppers. Their mozzarella sticks are by far the BEST compared to everywhere else I have ever been. You know when you order mozz sticks and take a bite and the cheese separates from the breading? These don't. These are like little nuggets of mozzarella and they are excellent. They are just THAT good. I also got the broccoli popped which pair well with dijon honey mustard. The service at Grasshopper is excellent. All the servers are super nice and they are quick with orders. And it's always nice to come in and see a familiar face! Nicole is almost always there making sure that everything is running smoothly and checking on us to make sure we have our food. read more

Grasshopper Too - Broccoli Poppers with Dijon mustard + Mozzarella Sticks - Irish Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Perhaps kitchen staff changes have brought the quality down? Portions were a good size but it stopped there. Was a loyal customer for many years and every restaurant can have a bad day but meals last week were not worth eating We chose a pasta dish with chicken, red peppers, spinach and mushrooms on a garlic cream sauce. Other than the mushrooms every component of the dish had no flavor. The chicken had grill marks and was thin and impossible to chew likely old. Garlic? None just cream The other entree was Shepherds Pie. It had a cloying taste of over handed powdered bouillon use rendering it too salty to finish. Service was not attentive and I'll give it another chance maybe in six months but it was a disappointment from past experiences. read more

Service was fast and servers very friendly. Food was good. Only problem is had was it was St.Patricks day. They had special menu. Ordered cornedbeef and cabbage. Normal size portion and one beer. 39.00. For lunch. Nothing like robbing your loyal customers. Gave 11. Tip. It will be awhile till I return. 50.00 lunch. WOW read more

Grasshopper Too - Cornedbeef and cabage - Irish Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

I cannot believe that I've lived so close to this place for so many years and I never tried it nor did anyone ever inform me about how good the food was. My mom is in a rehab battling cancer and I knew I needed to grab something to eat because I have been there all day so this was on my way home and I was like you know what there's not many cars in the lot. Let me go grab some thing and I'm so glad that I did. . I was greeted immediately, and I had a seat at the bar ordered myself a glass of wine, which they gave a very nice pour on, and then I decided on the vegetable stuffed salmon with shrimp. It was delicious. It was cooked perfectly and was so fresh and it came with a side of mashed potatoes, which were definitely freshly made. And you cannot beat the price for $21 , my only thing is that the Porsche is not that big. I left a still a little bit hungry I think maybe they gave you a choice of super salad has an extra would probably be a lot better but all in all I am definitely coming back here. read more

Great neighborhood restaurant and bar. Always offering great specials, love the French Onion soup, burgers, open face dinners and a flame grilled steaks. read more

I love the French onion soup! I've been going here for years and love to be greeted by the best local bartenders. A great place for a family dinner or a wild night out. read more

best mozzarella sticks around ! great service and bar specials. always a good meal here!

3 1/2 stars Always pass this location on my way to a friends house. Don't know if it's the same as the old Grasshoppers behind Giants Stadium (no longer there). We only ordered chicken fingers with fries which the teens liked. Wings. I didn't try them but they said they were good. Reubens were good but needed more dressing and some of the corn beef was a tad chewy. Otherwise it was a cool looking place to grab a quick bit. Service was excellent!! Prices were great also. read more

Grasshopper Too - Pastrami Sandwich - Irish Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Great guiness. Nice head and pour. The corned beef cabbage left much to be desired, too bland and not enough seasonings. Fish and chips were ok. Opens late, and they had karoke stage which is cool. Don't drink and drive, the cops had pulled someone for tickets right in front of the place. read more

I hadn't been to this location in over 10 years, and came here on a whim for a drink and an appetizer. I wasn't disappointed--had an IPA and mozzarella sticks--and had a second drink because why not! The bartender service was good and enjoyed chatting with others at the bar nearby. I also felt the coziness of the restaurant. Hope to be back soon! read more

The Grasshopper Too is my go to place for a corned beef sandwich and a draft. The sandwich is thick with juicy quality corned beef and a 20 oz. domestic draft at $3.50 does not hurt either. The sandwich comes with a small cup of coleslaw and steak fries. In my book that is comfort food. The pric has gone up since Covid and is now $12.95. The pastrami sandwich is also good and for the rest of their menu, I could not tell you. This is an Irish pub/restaurant with a full circular bar, drink specials and free buffet during Happy Hour 4-7, Mon-Fri. They also feature "Karoake, live bands, dance parties and there is never a cover charge. The parking lot is often filled with spill over parking in the train station lot. It is a convenient stop when I come home from the city via train. read more

This evening service (server - June) was horrific. She never checked on our table til after appetizers were cleared by the buser. Our dinner came and once again she never appeared. When we asked for a container to wrap our food up, she gave the tinest container that there was no chance it would fit in there. We requested a larger container to only get attitude from her in return. We waited another 15 minutes to get our check and she disappeared. The resturant was deserted at 8:20pm. The buser was constantly around and did a greater job. We dine here regularly but after tonight's service not sure if we will be returning. read more

Little local spot. Bar food. Comfort food. Nice environment. Very friendly. Good for kids!!

This was my first time eating here and last. My fish and chips were extremely greasy , and it was falling apart. My brother ordered the shepherd pie that was extremely salty. The waitress had attitude and never checked on us. We had to bother other waiter and waitress to help. God for bid, if we ask her suggestions on hard cider liquor, an extremely attitude asking that question. I was so disgusted here that I told my brother, "Let's get out of here and go get dessert somewhere else.". I will not be returning. To the owner, this is not a good impression on first-time people trying your restaurant, especially from your waitress. The food could have been an excuse with no bad review, but your waitress made mad with attitude read more

The food was good. Server was hard to find at times. Never got water refilled. Appears to have a great bar area. It is an Irish pub.

Not sure if this is a chain, but i've seen a few all over jersey so i decided to stop in and check it out. I was in a rush so I sat at the bar and grabbed a quick drink while the bartender regaled me with a story about his day. he was a true Irish man with quick wit and humor i laughed all the way until my food arrived. I ordered a Philly cheese steak which ended up having real steak cut up on it, tasted like filet and i was in HEAVEN! read more

If I could give this place a negative star, I would. Terrible food and bottom of the barrel service- it all trickles down from the owner who was equally as rude and dismissive asI tried to talk to him about my experience 0/10 read more

every time I go there it takes 15 minutes to be seated 27 minutes to see a waitress and another 15 minutes for them to come back and ask what you want. there is always a heavyset girl sitting there who supposed to be seating people or taking orders just sitting in a booth eating all the time every time I go. I don't know who has the time to sit there for an hour before they even order anything or get someone's attention and let them know you're actually there read more

Great place for comfort food and a classic spot to eat! Mike was our server and was great!

Tuesday night trivia was pretty fun, but food/service could use a revamp. I ordered a salt burger.. oops I mean cheese burger. Avoid if you have high blood pressure... the salt may have grim reaper visiting earlier than you had hoped. Was going to give my first 1 star, but the fries were pretty good and parking was plentiful. read more

Went for dinner last night and had the jumbo Grasshopper burger. Asked for medium rare and burger was well done. Asked the waiter for lettuce and tomato and he took 10 minutes to bring it out after we reminded him after waiting 5 minutes. I tried to cut the burger in half and the roll just crumbled as it was stale. With the limited menu I would think the items that they have would be fresh. Wound up having to eat the burger with a fork and knife as the bun totally collapsed. read more

Was going to mother's ale house to find it went out of business I'm guessing. So swinging back on to 23 I saw grasshopper too and remembered I've been there in the past and was very good so stopped there and as the last time was very good. I had the Buffalo wings they were small but very meaty than main course I was in the mood for steak and saw they had prime rib so ordered it. Was a great choice. Very flavorful n horseradish on side was good not the Mayo n horseradish sauce. I give it a 5 star because the service was great there too very attentive bar staff. It's a definite read more

Ordered cheeseburger platter well done. Repeated 3 times well done. Was half raw when it came out, I told them keep it. Bunch of kids waiting tables, very dirty place. It's lousy service and barfood. Never again stepping foot in there. read more

Just ordered a steak sandwich and French dip. Never got the au jus sauce so my gf drove back to get it and the owner comped the whole bill wow that was just unbelievably nice over a simple sauce. Accidents happen but to get rid of the whole bill for two entrees I am 100% satisfied will be going back for sure. Food was amazing btw 5 stars read more

Met some friends here for drinks, dinner and a little dancing. Super busy place- I had no idea how packed it gets. They have some pretty good dinner specials I had the Chicken Francaise, very light batter, lemon butter sauce was perfect and I had a side of fries - I know but I wanted fries. Hubby had the Chicken Parm and he said it was really good- huge portions on both dishes, on hind sight we probably shouldn't have ordered appetizers but we did and they were delish- potato skins, buffalo wings with blue cheese. They had a sampler platter but it would have been wayyy too much. The booth in the back area where the dance floor is a bit from the restrooms so you need to navigate but they are clean and well stocked (speaking for the ladies room) even late into the evening when the restaurant bar area is packed with patrons, they are keeping the restrooms clean. There is nice mix of music to listen too the band that was playing the night we went was pretty decent and kept the floor packed. All in all it was an evening well spent-- oh the drink- geez how could I forget that- reasonable price, fast fill ups, no complaints at all the service is great here. read more

COVID has been challenging , however , this establishment has great menu and great staff. Menu has some changes and everything great! Oysters have been my summer go to , delicious. I personally appreciate the forced outdoor dining and hope they continue through cooler months to come. read more

This is a typical neighbourhood bar it reminds me a lot of that one place in Clifton Road of the highway people are very chatty here bartenders a quick nice it looks like a Lidgett Irish bar I didn't have any food I just had a Guinness I didn't even have the time to finish because we kind of came in late from another place They had much order crowd in the beginning but then as time went on more younger people came from mothers and that other place that we went to before which I hated The people that were in there That's how we ended up here If you're looking for a boyfriend this is the place to come because the men are all single and looking for love I guess not bad for a restaurant bar I don't know what their prices are and have a look at any menus my friend paid for the drinks only had one Guinness so can't be that bad I came in on a Friday night and I was able to get parking! read more

Waitress are so rude and jaded make you feel very uncomfortable like your presence there has ruined thier day, need new nice younger staff

Grasshopper is definitely a townie bar and I don't like going because I hate forced/unwanted reunions with people you haven't spoken to in 10+ years. With that being said, the rest is all great. Their food is pretty legit and they have a large bar with ample seating. I had the Shepard's Pie with French onion soup and both we're 5 star worthy. The prices are decent too and there is plenty of parking. The inside is definitely dated and very dark but oh well, the food is good enough that I can look past those insignificant details. All in all if you're looking for great pub food, this is your spot. It also is a big night life spot for this area as well but I do not really participate in that because I don't want the forced reunions. read more

A great Irish pub among the plethora in Northern NJ! I always have a good time and a good meal when I meet friends or family for dinner. Like most pubs, the menu isn't that varied, but they make a mean burger and the drinks are always flowing. It is also great for late night, they usually have a local band playing or DJ spinning. Also don't forget Sun.& Weds. Karaoke w/Karaoke Lou, if you want to see some drunk locals making fools of themselves. read more

Love this place, actually all three locations. Enjoying an amazing bowl of Clam chowder. Right amount of veg and clam that is not chewy, nice flavors of Bay leaf and thyme not too salty just the way I like it and rivals some of the best. Also had a couple of Bass on tap with a mushroom & Cheddar Cheese Burger cook exactly as requested. Grasshopper is a nice pub experience and have spent many a St Patrick's day at Wayne and Cedar Grove locations. Staff is fast and friendly. read more
