Nachos
Chelsea N.

Came here with a group of friends on a Saturday. The place was crowded and we had a great time. Reasonably priced drinks. They have a shot wheel which was a fun perk! We ordered the nachos (not our favorite) but others' bar food looked good.

BORDENTOWN CITY: we are so happy a local told us about HOB Tavern because it is an awesome restaurant that is dog friendly! HOB Tavern is a cozy pub with one big bar that serves up American-style food, including vegetarian and vegan options. From wings, pretzels, tots, to burgers, sandwiches, salads, and more! They also do catering! Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed inside, which is the best! It is a tight space around the bar, so have control of your pup so they do not get underfoot. There is also covered outdoor seating in the beer garden. The chicken cheesesteak and "big fat lie" vegan burger entree were delicious! Our server was also awesome! If we lived closer, this would be our hangout every day!

Sean & Amanda were very great barkeeps. The place is a very friendly watering hole in Historic Bordentown. Small yet acoustically good for open-mike night. Food is excellent. Good IPA's Careful on parking, though Free, hard to find spaces on these narrow streets.

This place never fails to exceed expectations!! So many GREAT beers on tap, but the food is what draws Me in EVERY TIME!!!! The food is as good as you will find...ANYWHERE, ANYTIME AT ANY PRICE!!! plated perfectly as well. The bar is cool, has live music and great food. I'm from NJ and THIS PLACE is what is all about!!! I'm a truck driver and travel to all 48 and stop in all kinds of local bars.....This is by far, the best I've found in the entire United states!!!the beer, food and atmosphere. 2 thumbs up!!!

Pierogi (good)

I've been wanting to try HOB for a few years and finally got here with a friend who lives in Btown and visits frequently. I'd say this is more of a drinking bar, than an eating bar, but the food I had was good too. I skipped the adult beverages as nothing tempted me, $8 for a 12-16 oz pour seems the going rate. We shared pirogies which were pretty good, deep fried but not oily and tasty potato filling. They are not homemade but also not frozen grocery store quality either. There didn't seem to be a burger on the menu so I ordered the steak sandwich, it was medium sized and came with very good fries. The beef was tender and with plenty of onions and cheese. It was good but I'd probably try something else on a future visit. I hear they have a burger night and daily specials so maybe a weekday visit would feature more options. I liked the vibe of the small bar and the employees demonstrated great customer service. I'd go back

Burger of the week
Reid M.

The ambience was chill and the servers were very nice. One of the customers suggested the Hob Mac and they did not disappoint ! 10/10 and i don't usually like sweet potato stuff but them TOTS! Def worth it with the sauce the other burger was the burger of the week and I believe it had jalepeno on it but wasn't as good as the Hob Mac

Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese
Joey C.

Stopped into Hob tavern for Thursday Night Football... They have a Mac and Cheese Bowl night every Thursday night that has 8ish different Macs! Was greeted with smiles from Reese and Amanda when I walked in. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Bowl... 10/10 it's a house made Mac and cheese topped with Buffalo tenders and blue cheese crumbles. If you're in the area you gotta try this place!

Buffalo garlic parm wings and tater tots AAA+
Erica D.

When we 1st got there we couldn't find parking and then thought maybe we will go to the place around the corner but the food there didn't look as good ! As we were parking we found municipal parking So we just parked and walked ! Thank god we did !! The food was a small menu but that's ok it was amazing!! The wings are to die for! As soon as we walked in we were welcomed with a smile! Our bartender Mike was amazing very friendly and helpful! Even the other bartenders were nice ! It was nice to see that people still like there jobs ! Lol So glad we stopped in on our way though!!

Pb&j wings. Yea sounds crazy, it tastes CRAZY good.
Mike S.

What can I say that hasn't been said?? Ok, that's not how a review works, so let me just say this.... The service is really friendly. The vibe is spot on for a chill gathering with friends. Cocktails are worthy of ANY fancy cocktail bar in the city. Try em. And now for the wings. Those sweet glorious plump perfect crispy pieces of chicken. We did the garlic parm and pb&j wings. Both are solid 10s. Would I order pp&j everytime? No, but ANY time I bring someone new, gotta get em. Not too sweet, not too peanut buttery. Just perfect. Now I will order garlic parm EVERYTIME. So good. I'd like to try with Buffalo garlic parm, but my better half can't handle spice. Do yourself a favor, go and get anything from HOB. It WILL be scrumptious.

Cowboy Wings, side of Dill Ranch.
Lucas M.

The folks over at the HOB say it's "where friends meet friends." Have to say they're right. At any given time you're likely to strike up a conversation with another patron. Not much drama here, just good times and good people. No matter who is on staff that day, you're welcomed in like a regular. However it comes across as genuine. So many other places have that fake happy - Not here. They have a pretty good rotation of items on tap. The food is some of the best in town. Don't get me wrong, it's not Toscano, but you'll get a solid bar meal. Wednesday night is Burger Night and they'll often throw in a specialty burger. Nowadays it's $10 for a burger with a wide variety of toppings, cooked to your liking with fries. Their wings are excellent with the Cowboy Sauce being my favorite. It's like a tangy Buffalo sauce. There's a bunch of vegan options, if that's your thing. However, there isn't any gluten free bread offered. No one would look at you crooked if you brought your own bun, though. The bar itself can get pretty crowded and there's limited outdoor seating. Either way you'll get some very heartfelt service from people who really care.

French onion soup
Rachel K.

Came to HOB Tavern for the first time during covid times. We sat outside around one of the fire pits and they had lights up inside the tent so it was super cute! even though you're around a fire don't forget to dress warmly during the winter months! French onion soup was the perfect way to warm us up and we also got the spicy cauliflower, buffalo garlic parm wings, and a cowboy burger with fries. All of the food was delicious and I look forward to coming back here!

Garlic Parmesan Wings

We arrived at Old Town Pub on a weekday at that strange and tender hour between the end of work and…read morethe beginning of evening, when the sunlight looks tired but not yet ready to quit. There were eight of us, a band of aging birthday revelers, unsure whether we were still young enough to be loud or too old to be noticed. The staff didn't seem to mind either way. They smiled, rearranged some tables upstairs in a corner just for us, and let us take our time as the rest of the party wandered in, one by one, like characters from eight different novels who'd lost their place in the story. The upstairs room was empty when we arrived, echoing pleasantly with the sound of our indecision. By the time we left, it was humming with life. The bartender, whose name I did not catch but whose pour I will remember, mixed me an Apple Jack from the fall cocktail list. I had planned to explore their beer selection, which is said to be quite good, but the apple and Tito's combination called out to me like an old American folk song. It was crisp and strong and made me grateful for my liver's enduring patience. For dinner, I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was good but too greasy, even for a dish whose main promise is grease. The plate looked like an oil field after a minor accident, and the poor chips had to make do with swimming lessons they hadn't asked for. Still, the fish itself was solid and flaky, and I ate most of it while pretending not to notice the puddles. Around the table there were burgers, salads, sandwiches and tacos. Everyone ate. Everyone was fine. No one wept with joy. Our server, though, deserves an entire paragraph. He was the sort of person you wish the world had more of. He was patient, kind, and surprisingly cheerful for someone who had to answer seven variations of "What's good here?" He took special care with our friend who has celiac disease, making several trips to confirm that her meal would be safe. He handled it with both professionalism and genuine concern. It was one of those rare moments when good service feels less like customer care and more like small-scale heroism. We were politely nudged around 7:00 to make way for the trivia crowd, which seemed fair. We had been there for two and a half hours, which in restaurant time is nearly an epoch. On another night, I imagine they would have let us stay longer. We left feeling content, not dazzled, but content counts for a lot these days. Old Town Pub may not be the most extraordinary restaurant in Bordentown, but it has heart. It has history, too, tucked into its walls from the days when it was The Farnsworth House. The renovation in 2017 gave it new life without scrubbing away its past. That balance between old and new feels just right, like the moment between late afternoon and early evening. Four stars for kindness, competence, and cocktails that don't apologize for being cocktails. The fish and chips may have been greasy, but the night itself was not.

I'm not sure why they call this restaurant Flying Pig. It's not as if they have a lot of BBQ items…read moreon the menu. They do have pulled pork and BBQ ribs along with bacon on everything. I haven't been to this site since it was Dublin Square which was a long time ago. Some of the layout changed. They no longer have the old bar separated from the dining area. Callie was our server and did a great job. I was there with some friends from SC. We started by ordering the large pretzel which comes out on a pretzel hanger along with some beer cheese for dipping. They also use that hanger for bacon. The pretzel was enough for 4 of us. I ordered the wings and selected Nashville Hot and Hog Sauce as my flavors. They claim they sell by the pound ($15.50) but it ends up being 8 wings. If you want to split flavors, they make it dry and bring the sauce on the side for dipping. Luckily the Nashville Hot is a dry rub. It was very good and not too spicy. The Hog Sauce is a combo of Buffalo and Garlic which was excellent. The wings themselves were plump, juicy and crispy. Five stars. Plenty of parking. Some tables available outside for outdoor seating when it ever gets nice in NJ. Bathrooms were very clean. You may find some little pink pigs around. Not sure if they're complimentary, but my wife took the one that was next to our table. My only complaint is they have too many of their draft beers designated for only 10 oz pours even with low ABV. I had a Kane Head High which was in a 16 oz glass. They also use OpenTable for reservations which I used as well.

When pigs fly? Oh they're not just flying - they're serving serious eats at the flying pig tavern!…read moreMy friend and I had an amazing dinner at Flying Pig Tavern in Bordentown. Starting off strong with appetizers, the bacon trio rack not only presents nicely but tastes incredible. Thick cut Maple honey, sesame chili and candied bourbon, what will you choose?! The bang bang shrimp had an amazing chili kick. The vodka pie had my name all over it. It had the best cheese pull! Want a more high protein pizza? You'll want to try the chicken parmigiana pizza, with a crispy chicken cutlet serving as the dough instead! Try a Trenton famous tomato pie, and see that it compares well to other notorious spots in the area! Their Billy Mac cheeseburger came loaded with creamy Mac and cheese! We loved the Mac and cheese so much we even ordered it as a side. For a more traditional entree, try the short rib for a cozy fall dinner. The short rib was tender and inviting and came with an ample amount of mashed potatoes and veggies. A great healthier option. And save room for dessert, the chocolate chip cookie skillet and funnel cake fries are a MUST! The cookie skillet was warm and gooey and the funnel cake fries brought the classic treat without all the mess! Make Flying Pig tavern your next hangout spot. It's a great place to watch a game, join in on their trivia nights, or come by for ladies night. They have a large spacious room upstairs that can be rented out for parties. The staff took wonderful care of us, they were so nice and attentive. I loved it so much my friends and I came back for their trivia night!
