We had a pretty good happy hour here with a group of about 15 colleagues. Drinks were all good, food was good, the bar area got rather hot although and it wasn't even crowded. Not too comfortable. Service was generally fine. Our server took care of us in the bar area, but she also had to deal with tables in the dining room. She did a good job. There must be another bar somewhere else because it seemed like our drinks weren't prepared behind the bar. They'd take a while to prepare after ordering and then come trickling in from somewhere else. The pickle chips, shishito peppers, wings (dry rub and buffalo), chicharon, were all great. Everyone especially liked the bee sting flatbread. The Queen flatbread was rather basic and not too popular, but I think it's supposed to be plain. Something else disappointing for me was that they don't have happy hour specials or a happy hour menu. Everything had to come from the main menu. Not much incentive for a group hitting the local spots for a fun happy hour. read more

Service was good and food was good as well at the Hearth and Tap this visit. We ordered two of the special appetizers and each were just okay. The empanadas would have been very good if cooked a bit longer since they were a bit gummy inside. The shrimp ceviche was served in red sauce and was absent of a decent amount of shrimp. It was tasty but more of a salsa rather than a ceviche. The rib special lacked the promise of the flavors of the chipotle bbq sauce that was promised and described in the menu -- the pork lacked flavor. The chicken Milanese appeared to have been deep fried in a fryer rather than pan fried per tradition. This made the thin slices a bit tough and chewy which was unexpected. Disappointing that I didn't listen to my server who tried to steer me in a different direction as he advised. We haven't been wowed here the last three visits but will give it another shot in a few weeks to see if things have changed for the better. Listen to your servers, people!! read more

Linguini B: Rapid Review Renditions - Hearth and Tap All hearth no tap, but could I tap? Not the question. I'm taken, don't be mistaken uhhh. And you're just gonna have to live with that. Kinderkamack. A king of all roads with the notion and the motion... it's provided love potion to the entire county. Early summer days. Luncheon. My lungs are filled with the piney air. Iago is a traitor, but my silence speaks more ample than ever in these moments. Oh how I enjoy the camaraderie but do miss the days of which I could observe rather than participate. Something soothing, suave and suggestive in my serenity. You'll never know about it, Brutus. Anyways. All hearth, no tap. But I've popped a guinny or two here so that's a lie in the more literal term of tap in this scenario. Those who know, know that Hearth and Tap is more than a dive bar. It's a gastropub, of which I've enjoyed from time to time. The food is good. They have good burgers. They have good other stuff. The interior is rustic. It's Smokey from the drizzle and sizzle of cigar smoke. The upstairs rooms are pretty chill. The patio is poppin' with businessmen, businesswomen and locals. Not that I take notice. Nor do I notice them eyeing me down from clavicle to popsicle. Get framemogged son. The moon landing was real and there's nothing you can do about it, narc. Moonmogged. Would be happy to go again. Will be happy when I do. Happiness overwhelms me consistently and so this isn't saying much. But nonetheless Horatio, my lovely and loyal confidant, I never lead you astray. Hearth and Tap, and Kinderkamck Rd are Linguini approved. read more

I would totally recommend this place. The inside is old but well taken care of. It's a very casual and unique. The staff was super friendly. We went right before 5:00 on a week night so it wasn't busy, which was nice. The food was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection and served piping hot. If I ever visit this area again we will for sure be going back. read more

Hearth and Tap - French Onion Soup and Spicy Filet Mignon Tips - Gastropubs Near Me - Montvale, New Jersey

I really dislike giving negative reviews but when you must you must be honest. Ordered a sharing menu for three. Fried pickles (very good) Mandarin salad no protein(great and refreshing) Spicy filet mignon tips...uggghh....really inedible. Swimming in gravy (what??) meat tough as could be. PEI mussels, overcooked to mush. We told the waitress only about the steak tips. Attitude!! This waitress should NOT be in the service industry. She came back and said "I convinced the manager to remove the steak tips off the bill". What?? You convinced he/she to remove an inedible item off the bill. Oh girl, leave this industry immediately. You are not good for business. read more

Sat outside last night (6/15/26) and had Jose as our server. Service was absolutely wonderful and he had a great sense of humor. The food was fantastic as well. The brussel sprouts were out of this world and my steak was excellent. Couldn't ask for better! read more

I have been coming here for years. Food, service and atmosphere are all great! And they have a nice bar where you can smoke a cigar and relax. read more

I will start off by saying the food was absolutely amazing and if this was a review solely on the food or I had done takeout it would probably be a 5 star review. The everything pretzel was delicious as was the F&P flatbread. I was not completely thrilled of the service though. I was shocked to see there was valet as I have been here a ton and have never had valet. The parking lot is also huge and the place wasn't packed so I found it a bit unnecessary. When I arrived I asked for a table. I was seated at a table on the opposite side of the fireplace. I was shocked to find that was the only heating source upstairs. The table by the wall was very drafty and I was shivering. I asked to move to the booths before my friends came and it was warmer but still really drafty up there. They need some more heating if they're going to seat people up there. Perhaps a split heater/ac unit or something. Our waitress was nice, but seemed to be in a rush to get out. We made sure to pay as soon as we were done eating and cleared the table so she could get out which she did. Within 5 mins of her leaving another waitress told us we couldn't sit any longer but were welcome to go to the bar. It was not what I was expecting and I was disappointed. Hopefully if I come back it will be better read more

Amazing food and atmosphere. Love the fireplace.The best part was our waiter Jose. If you go, try to have Jose take care of you. He is the best!! read more

Can I talk about Jose, our waiter tonight? He was an absolute JOY! His recommendations were spot on, he was attentive and responsive. He told us about other events worth attending. The food btw, was great. It's warm and cozy with comfortable seating. read more

The entire reason I'm leaving this review is because i just had the greatest chicken pot pie I have ever had in my entire life last night at this place. Service was friendly and attentive from the host, to the server, and even the food runners. The ambiance is cozy, and I love the outdoor fireplace. However, I still can't shake how great that Chicken Pot Pie was. I could eat those every day for the rest of my life, and I would be happy. read more

I always enjoy and this time was absolutely delicious! I went overboard with ordering a little bit of everything lol and I have zero regrets! French onion soup was perfection, Burrata was unforgettable even the garlic toast on the side delicious, Steak Frites are a must try with that special steak sauce!!! To top it all off the Bread Pudding Epic! The service was excellent & knowledgeable! On a rainy night, I truly enjoyed a nice private date night! read more

A great local eatery with fantastic food and drinks. The service is always friendly but can be a little slow on the busier nights. The flat bread pizza is a must try here. My favorite is the Bee Sting pie. Very cozy interior, the only downside is on the inside there is a cigar lounge so you can still smell smoke depending where you are seated inside. Desserts here are also a must, the strawberry ny style cheesecake is absolutely to die for. The kickin' watermelon is a nice twist on a spicy margarita with fresh and spicy jalapeños, tajin, and the perfect compliment of sweet watermelon. I highly recommend their New England style clam chowder. It's perfectly flavorful, not too heavy, and great no matter what season. read more

Hearth and Tap - Old fashion - Gastropubs Near Me - Montvale, New Jersey

The widest variety of a menu I've ever seen, from empanadas, flatbreads, pub grub, comfort foods like shepherds pie to fish and chips to easily the best dessert I've had. A friend and I split the applie pie ala mode and the cookie in a skillet. For appetizers I recommend the French dip sliders, "the Queen" Margherita pizza, and the mussels. For entrees, I recommend the pear and prosciutto ravioli as well as the steak. I will definitely be returning! read more

Our server Hannah was so nice to us and very helpful. Me and my girlfriend went here for our 3 year anniversary and it was VERY busy. Hannah always checked up on us and even felt bad when she didn't think she was doing a good enough job which was absolutely false, she was phenomenal! Great work Hannah and thank you for your kindness :) The food is always delicious as well! Their Brussels sprouts are a must! - Anthony and Isabella read more

This is an upscale dining experience with a cigar bar attached. The food it's pretty good but I feel I should've gotten something different. Our table service was good not as attentive as we wanted. The dining area closed at 10 then we went to the cigar where it wasn't that busy and it took the female bartender a while to serve us. Overall I feel that this is a nice place to go if you want to enjoy a cigar and to higher grade food. I'll would definitely suggest this place to someone who wants some good food in that area. read more

I really struggled with leaving a low review because we used to really enjoy this place and I think the managers try hard to make sure everyone is happy. Mostly the low rating was for the server we had and the heavy smell of cigar smoke (although we sat on the patio). The server had the audacity to ask about the tip we left. I seriously contemplated not leaving anything at all so I thought 15% was generous. I itemized all the things that were wrong and she acted as if we didn't say anything so it was our fault? Meanwhile we asked for kids' waters 3 times and so ultimately I went in to the bar to get them myself. The only way my son's order was corrected was the manager walking around to see if everyone was ok. His kids meal was up-charged $2 more than the menu stated and her Mac n cheese was oddly spicy. Should smoke not bother you and you are dining with patient adults, go for it and eat here! read more

AWESOME dinner, experience, and waitress (Dawn). Food was awesome, holiday decorations were so warm and festive, and Dawn was extremely pleasant, polite, and efficient...THANK YOU for a great night with my 3 older children. We'll be back for sure!!! Happy New Year! read more

Was there today with a large group. Due to a local water main break, the restaurant did not have running water starting at 8 AM, yet they remained open and had our luncheon at noon. Little by little we discovered the problem as we attempted to use the rest rooms. The situation was unacceptable and poorly handled. I have been here before, and I have to say that on a good day, this place is sub-par. Stinks of old cigar smoke, and management doesn't seem to care about patron experience or safety. Why on earth didn't they close today? read more

The food was good and staff was exceptional especially our server Desirae. She was super attentive and helpful.

Completely deficient regarding food , service and ambiance. So many better restaurants in the area and the smell of cigars doesn't help

Wow- what an amazing spot!! Aine our server- was outstanding!! Super welcoming and friendly! We came in for lunch on Saturday- wanted a steak Sandwich and boy did this place deliver!!! Tender steak, cheese & garlic - horseradish sauce- and wait it came with smashed truffle oil potatoes- was outstanding. The vibe is cozy with classic rock background music- think Tom Petty, Van Morrison, Johnny Cash. Just a great place to get away and talk - music isn't too loud- just perfect Warm and relaxing. Service was quick and attentive Drinks and beer very good. We will be coming back soon to try more items on the menu. I highly recommend this one!!!!!! A Solid 5- I have to let you know how AMAZING the homemade Irish coffee was and the Bread pudding was as my kids say "FIRE ". Definitely check it out read more

Authentic Irish pub. Great burgers, apps, pizza, etc. Wonderful outside seating area. Our server, Desiree, is fantastic! She is extremely friendly but professional. She handled our large table with ease bringing all our food out hot and timely. Whenever we go back we will certainly be asking for Desiree to wait on us. read more

Literally my favorite type of spot! A great Irish gastropub here and I was planning my return mid bite, so you know it's good. Very cozy and rustic vibe that makes you feel like you're in an old school Irish pub, but with a modern twist and elevated eats. Apparently there is a cigar bar in a different space (definitely want to return for this). Went with a burger, as I always do in an Irish pub with no second thought...this one was awesome. 21 day age need blend topped with bacon and a crispy onion ring, so good! Great beer selection and fireplace outside where I enjoyed a beer (food allowed out during warmer months, only drinks outside in winter). Great spot that I will be back soon for! read more

I now have been to the Hearth and Tap about 6 times. I truly think it is a great spot to go and sit with some friends and enjoy good food and maybe a cigar.

We came here with a big group and they accommodated us well. There was plenty of seating, and also parking lot is big. They were even able to split checks (for 10 people), although I don't know if this is the norm. As for the food, I ordered the chicken pot pie (based on Yelp recommendations) and enjoyed it. Its fairly big, and also very creamy. Great value at just over $10. Note that sides are on the pricey side, at over $10 each. A few people on the table ordered the t bone steak, which looked really good. They have a cigar lounge too, which we were going to check out but it ended up not going to because it was essentially just a bar where you can smoke. read more

This is a great local spot. Great restaurant, very good menu, great cocktails. Great service. My favorite local spot

Came for lunch and sat outside. I took a quick stroll inside and the place is very large. Not only do they have two bars, they also sell cigars/cash only. There is plenty of parking, as well. The outdoor seating area is very nice, has a fireplace, and a wall mounted television.... nicely positioned where every customer can view. Our server was very cordial, gave us good recommendations, and checked on us at nice intervals. We started with classic Margaritas and it was amazing. The drinks were strong, refreshing, well crafted, and the rim salt was perfect. Our Summer Salad was OUTSTANDING. the mixture of the raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, walnuts, spinach, and goat cheese were incredible. The raspberry vinegrette dressing was delicious and the salad is the perfect size to share. Our entrees, Irish Cuban Sandwich and the Chicken Quesadillas were very good. We could not finish the large portion sizes and each bite was thoroughly enjoyed. You will enjoy your meal at Hearth & Tap and don't forget to take in the entire restaurant. It has a lot to offer, to take in, and you'll definitely return. read more

Not sure if this place is under new ownership. Used to love this place but last night was horrendous. At dinner beers ordered were incorrect for 2 in our party and bad/sour for another 2. Herders pie was salty and oily. At bar, there is no liquor menu which creates a guessing game between you and bartender. Really disappointing. read more
