Service, drinks, and overall vibes were great. Enjoyed bowling and live music while we waited for our table. The actual food at dinner was meh at best. My particular meal was beyond salty and inedible. Server handled it well and took it off the bill which I appreciated. read more

Early dinner is probably the best way for immediate seating. New build from Tide Table Group ! Top tier too! Spectacular design and great open spaces indoors and a huge outdoor area with dedicated bars and games, fire pits and tables. Food is a great variety and also generous portions. Staff is friendly and welcoming quickly answered questions and makes sure you have a great experience. Also feel like a little bowling after your meal? Yup they have a bowling alley too! Absolutely amazing place and menu. read more

Hollow Pines - Bloody Mary and a Jetty Session beer! Great beginning to a fantastic meal! - Seafood Near Me - West Creek, New Jersey

WEST CREEK: Hollow Pines is an absolute must‑visit: save this post because you are going to want to get here ASAP. Set literally among the towering pines of the Pine Barrens, Hollow Pines feels like you are dining in the woods. It is peaceful, stunning, and totally unlike anything else in the area. Their expansive backyard + outdoor bar is dog friendly for leashed & friendly pups, with full service outside. We grabbed seats at the outdoor bar (which plans to stay open through the seasons unless the weather says otherwise) and had the best time chatting with Stephanie, who shared some awesome history about the property. Brand‑new for 2026, Hollow Pines transformed a former restaurant with a full renovation and gorgeous additions. The outdoor space has tons of seating, fire pits, a bocce court, a TV to watch the game, and a super chill bar area. It is a total escape from the hustle and bustle. The menu features elevated American‑style food and great drinks, making this an easy new favorite. Brie loved exploring the property, there is plenty of room to wander and relax. This place is a retreat, a vibe, and absolutely worth the trip. read more

Place is beautiful and fun. 3 floors with bar in each floor. Outdoors has several firepits with plenty of chairs around each. Corn hole games and an outdoor bar. Our beers were deliciously cold! The menu is so-so. MENU is different and prices are a bit high than you would expect in a venue such as this. We think It needs to add some plain old fashioned burgers and plain french fries with optional parmesan and more traditional salads. I had the Chopped Caesar salad and unfortunately it was not good. The romaine is shredded and it was drowned in the dressing and instead of croutons there was a couple of slices of toasted bread at the bottom of the salad. I suggest that if you order Caesar salad, Get the dressing on the side. However it did have 2 anchovies on top which I liked. We did not care for the flavor in the Beef Tatare appetizer. My husband had the French dip which was good tasting but overcooked for beef. It a really nice place that I would love to see it be successful. A little change in the menu and some daily specials might be a good idea for this restaurant to survive the winter. read more

I'm so glad this placed opened in the area. We drove past this place last night and made a mental note to come back when we saw how packed it was at 9pm. Food, atmosphere, service were all wonderful. The one suggestion I would make is to ask about allergies and to list allergens on the menu. The place is big. It has a lot of different sections. The outside area and the inside area have different wait lists. Both areas look vibrant. The outside area has a cornhole game and bocce and large fire pits with lounge seating. There is a musician singing. Reminded me of those relaxing southern cozy cookout type places you see in the movies. The inside area is beautiful too. It has a shuffleboard, mini bowling with bar seating and a lounge waiting area in addition to a bar dining area and several dining sections. The place is lodge themed. The high ceiling, decor and the overall vibe makes you feel like you're in a lodge. It all looks new. There's a lot of energy here and it's a lot of fun. There was a bowling lane open and so we played while waiting for our table. Food is good as well. Based on other reviews, I thought the portions would be small. We ordered way too much. None of us were able to finish our food. For apps, we got: Pull apart pigs in a blanket- flaky, unique and really good. Baked Brie- rich and creamy- tasty and good. It comes with 6 small slices of crostini. Wish there are more pieces Wings - 10 pieces. Honey glazed, slightly sweet, crispy and good Casino clams linguine - 6 pieces of clams, linguine in a parsley filled, buttery white wine sauce, bits of bread crumbs . Really delicious! Vodka rigatoni- huge portion! Good Short ribs - a large piece of short rib with fingerling potatoes- really good too Tomato bisque soup- rich, thick and creamy. Filled with cheese and topped with toasted bread slices - delicious! Service was great. Food came out a lot quicker than I expected. Server checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. Bartender managed the bowling area. He was great too and was on top of everything. Amazed at how he remembered everything from drinks to the bowling queue. Everything was good. We had a great time here. read more

Overall just okay ... I went with a group of 8, one being a toddler. We started with pigs in a blanket, pork belly, calamari, and shrimp tempura. All were tasty but portion sizes were small. Calamari seemed really small sized as well. Drinks were good but very slow. We were told someone was training on the bar, but apps were out before drinks arrived. We asked for lemon a few times in a cocktail and it never came, we were told a sazerac cocktail was sold out but weren't told which ingredient was out and it seemed like standard ingredients for a bar to have. Steak frites was okay, it was hard to cut with the regular knife and needed more seasoning. Ribeye needed a lot of love in the seasoning department and also was very hard to cut without a steak knife. Frites was supposed to have special fries with it, though were identical to the kids meal fries my daughter got. Over all the food was just fine. Hot chicken sandwich was really just a buffalo chicken sandwich. Not something I'm eager to go back to, but I've had worse meals. The server was also just fine ... he didn't give us specials until we asked. We're pretty sure he forgot to ring in our shrimp tempura based on how long it came to come after the rest of our apps. When we were told a drink was out of stock there weren't other options suggested. He seemed busy but also not interested. The restaurant itself was very cool and game area seemed fun, though we didn't go play. Maybe it was just a bad day all around ... read more

West Creek NJ 5 Star Restaurant? What a great place. Walked in about 5:30 on Friday night, table for 2 (wait 30 mins, not horrible!) Ended up, upstairs at the bar, ended up having dinner at the bar. Great drinks, amazing food, and FAST service! Had the grilled oysters & pibecracker shrimp which both were fantastic. Then skirt steak, and cooper sharp cheese burger with no bun- and we shared side salad & grilled broccoli. Our meal was sensational- cooked to perfection, great flavor.... This might be our new fav place- def coming back. read more

Hollow Pine was such a refreshing departure from the usual Thai Table Restaurant Group concept. Instead of a seafood-focused menu, they offer a really diverse selection with something for everyone--great sandwiches, steaks, pastas, and creative appetizers. We started with the spicy salmon crispy rice, a chopped Caesar salad, and mozzarella sticks with vodka sauce. The Caesar salad was outstanding--freshly chopped, homemade dressing (we opted for no anchovies), all served over an oversized garlic bread crouton that was incredible. The spicy salmon crispy rice was fresh, flavorful, and had subtle hints of cilantro that really elevated it. For our entrées, we split the burger, which was solid but not the standout of the meal. My daughter absolutely devoured the gnocchi with pesto and artichokes, and my husband loved the pork chop with fingerling potatoes--it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We were too full for dessert, but everything on the menu sounded tempting for next time. The atmosphere is what really sets Hollow Pine apart. The interior feels like something you'd find in Vermont, with a warm, rustic ski lodge aesthetic that's both elegant and inviting. Outside, there's a standalone bar, live music, cornhole, and they even welcomed dogs on the patio, which was a huge bonus. This is such a fantastic addition to the area, and we'll absolutely be back. Highly recommend! read more

Had a great experience at Hollow Pines! Stopped in for drinks and apps, everything was delicious. The dirty martinis with blue cheese-stuffed olives were perfect, the bartender was fantastic. We tried the beef carpaccio, burrata, calamari, and crab ravioli with sherry sauce -- every dish was delicious and beautifully done. Connor was our server and was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience great... Will definitely come back when visiting again! read more

Wouldn't consider it a " restaurant " but pub , the food is just OK ! .... If I was to go back it would be because of the entertainment, games and bowling not for the food. That being said the building and design was well thought out. The service was attentive and the place is kept clean . read more

Fantastic drinks, inspired menu, great atmosphere, immaculate vibes. Duck pin bowling in the basement and yard games out back. Our new favorite local place. Shout out to our bartender Mike, who makes a meeeeeean Old Fashioned read more

We've never actually eaten at this restaurant, but we tried to purchase a gift card through Tide Table Restaurant Group for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, I was charged and the gift card never arrived in their email. What made the situation worse was trying to get help. Tide Table Restaurant Group doesn't list a phone number, and they don't respond to email via their 'contact us' page. Out of options, I called Hollow Pines (a restaurant in their group). The staff I spoke with were kind, but ultimately unable to help. They offered to reach out to their management team. The following day the hostess was tasked with calling me to relay the "solution": They advised that I (the customer) should contact the third-party vendor that handles their gift cards. I pushed back because customers shouldn't have to chase down a vendor for something purchased directly through the restaurant group. Additionally, the restaurant group did not handle the situation appropriately - they received the money and they could have easily mailed a gift card vs. sending me on a wild goose chase. Further, Tide Table should have contacted me to work through the situation vs. having the hostess call me. So, here's the takeaway: Tide Table Restaurant Group does not seem to prioritize customer service or accountability. If you buy a gift card through their site, realize that they will charge you; however, the gift may never be delivered. I am now disputing the charge with my credit card company. read more

Beautiful building along with some delicious drinks as well as appetizers. We only had drinks and apps but enjoyed their bowling games they had installed. They have 4 lanes and it's very chill read more

Our server was prompt and courteous. The ambiance is great. This is a spacious restaurant with a beautiful bar area. We walked around and checked out the duckpin bowling lanes. Most importantly our lunches were delicious. The French dip sandwich and the burger( medium) were perfectly cooked. Our side salads were fresh and dressings were good. The $8.00 charge for a bottle of Saratoga still water was excessive so I would check their other beverage charges before ordering one.... But we had a great lunch. read more

Nice looking restaurant food no had a 12 dollar soup more like a cup and no chicken. Just really bad a waste

Good when first opened Last visit was very crowded and wait and quality of "bar food" was a disappointment for this visit . read more

This restaurant is very stylish and has indoor and outdoor things to offer. The employees are so nice and personable. The beer is cold, the mixed drinks are great! The burger, fish and chips and chicken sandwiches were all very good. The French fries are delicious. read more

Great service, great food, backyard was super cool. Inside was really nice too (didn't picture any). Also has nice lounge area with couches too if there's a wait. Will definitely come back just to spend the day in the backyard. And for sure get the pretzel, sooo good. read more

Atmosphere and service was awesome. I enjoyed my meal and would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends.

Great place to meet friends or take out -of -town family/guests to! The architecture is warm and inviting, the food is always good and the staff is friendly and professional. Highly recommended! read more

The duckpin bowling bartender, Mike, was very friendly and allowed me to discard my garbage rather than putting it on the ground. The steak frites were also delicious and made for very nice leftovers. Lastly, the performer was singing a very nice selection of songs. Would very much recommend to others! read more

Great atmosphere good food, service was excellent. Would definitely go back. So much to do there inside and outside

Really good food and very good and friendly service. We shared three appetizers and all were great. I had what is now one of my top ten pork chops of all time. We lingered over dinner with friends and were not rushed at all. read more

Went for lunch. The place is very nice. Bar looked awesome. Visually the restaurant is beautiful. Started with the garlic wings. They were very good. I had the hot chicken sandwich. Absolutely awful. Looked and tasted like the ends of chicken all scooped up and piled on a bun. Stringy and impossible to chew. Couldn't eat it. Terrible. The wife had the short rib. Dry and overcooked. Maybe held over from the night before? Who knows. Not good. Cocktails and service however were very good. We'll try again and see if this was an off day. read more

First I would say it is beautiful inside and also out back. We were sat and given water and then nothing for over ten minutes. We were almost ready to walk out, waitress comes over. Menu limited in my opinion and overpriced. Ordered 2 arnold palmers - terrible watered down no flavor. Fish and chips just about burned and overfried. Winter farro salad needs to be renamed Winter quinoa salad since there was way more quinoa than farro in it and barely any feta. We all said we would not try this place again. read more

Very disappointed with their reservation system. You must have 5 people in your party to make a reservation. Honestly how many people go out with just another couple, which is 4 people??? Why 5. Didn't the management ever hear, it's what the customer needs and wants, not what management thinks is a logical policy??? Change it or we'll find a better place to eat that can accommodate our plans. read more

A beautiful place and decent food. Unfortunately, not a positive impression. Meals were delivered to our table but not the meals we ordered. While paying for our check was told by the waiter you don't need to respond to the questions, I'm busy. In fairness, when the meals were served they were very good-but don't order the calamari. Went downstairs and sat down to have an after dinner drink. Ordered a glass of wine but didn't need a glass covered in lipstick. When I brought it to the servers attention she apologized and took it back. The bartender proceeded to wipe the lipstick off the glass to return it me. I got up, went to the bar and said no way. She then poured the wine into another glass as if that was ok. When I told her no way she stated "that's what we do here". I asked to speak to a manager and she told me was the manager. I hope this establishment does well, but they certainly have some staffing issues that need to be addressed. read more

Highly recommend!!!! Hollow Pines is the best addition to West Creek! The building inside & out is absolutely stunning! Atmosphere and food was amazing! We got the pull apart pigs in a blanket, homemade mozz sticks, the short rib parpadelle, a burger and a few different drinks. Everything, delicious! Service was great as well, I wish I remembered our waitresses name to give her a shoutout. We will 100% be back and can't wait to try out the duckpin bowling downstairs! read more

Love it! Beautifully decorated, great food, very reasonably priced. Great night with my family with lots to do. Highly recommend.

We ordered food and drinks and sat at the high tables in the back. Food and drinks were good. Spent $400 for 4 people. About 10 minutes after we paid we were finishing drinks and a lady from the front came up and said "how was everything? We have quite the wait, so it's about that time. Time to go." What a rude way to thank people. Pretty classless. Definitely a better way to handle that. read more

Casual or professional this is the place to be. Servers are super attentive. Bartenders know their stuff. You can't go wrong with the chill vibe and elegant feel when you come to Hollow Pine's. 100% need to come back soon! read more

Madison was great. Lobster ravioli, salmon, and chicken pot pie entrees all great. Atmosphere excellent. Will come back this summer to take advantage of outside facilities. read more

The restaurant interior and the grounds with fire pits and outside bar were great. The bowling alley was very cool. Service was pleasant. Drinks were good and wings and grilled oysters were delicious. The oysters were very small though and probably not worth the price. The dinners were Not up to par though. I had the fish sandwich. It was saturated in grease and the fish was mushy. Very disappointing when I compare the quality to Tide Table's other restaurants. There is only one burger offered and my wife wasn't thrilled with it. Ate half and didn't take the other half home. Another person in our party had the salmon which she said was good. I'll give it another try someday for happy hour because the place is very nice to have a couple drinks at. But I'll hold off on another dinner for a while. read more

We came by tonight with zero expectations. Frankly expected the place to be dead, as it's a Tuesday and they haven't been open that long. Instead it was packed and deservedly so. Large building with lots of seating. It's a beautiful restaurant. Kudos to the designer. Stunning. A good menu with lots of options. Great drink list and our server was well trained. The property is gorgeous. Ok, I'm running out of adjectives .... We can't wait to come back in the nice weather. The backyard is massive. Looks like they will have live music outside. This is a homerun. Only problem will be the crowds ..... We will be back. read more

We came for lunch with a party of three. The building and grounds are very nice. The bar is amazing to look at. We started with veggie fries. Greasy and overbaked, with virtually no zucchini inside. The large pretzel was the best part of the meal. The hot chicken sandwich. Absolutely awful. Looked and tasted like the ends of chicken, if you could find any chicken with a microscope. The Lasagna sounded great with homemade noodles and venison. The cheese on top was so thick and overcooked that I removed it, leaving hardly any lasagna. The portion of potato gnocchi was small and had burnt Brussels sprouts bits mixed in. We came hungry and looking forward to a good meal. We left hungry and disappointed in the poor quality of food and the overpriced menu. As locals, we will not be back. read more

Do you want to go to an elevated space in west creek nj well this is it. The tide table group knocked it out of the park with their latest venture. Beautiful from the first step through the doors to the cocktails and food and outside area. Free shuttle great staff and simply such an enjoyable experience. Servers and bar tenders and all staff incredible! read more

Tried this place again. Maybe first two times were off days. This time the service and food was worse. Poorly trained watress disappeared again never checked on the table after the food was delivered. Table of 4 and 3 of us said the food is below average . That's that not getting me back. read more
