Jammin' burger without the bacon jam
Jenn M.

Pros: Our waitress, Alicia, was an absolute sweetheart and made several great food recommendations, including the hot honey wings, Jammin' burger, and chocolate cake--all of which were very good. The portion sizes were generous; both my burger and the Cheesesteak Deluxe were large enough that we brought leftovers home from both entrées. Cons: Unfortunately, the drinks were not good. I ordered a Downeast Cider on tap and it tasted like the line may not have been cleaned recently. My companion ordered a cosmopolitan that was essentially undrinkable--extremely strong and not well balanced. We later learned the bartender is new, so hopefully that improves with experience. The wings were also served cold, and the Jammin' burger came out without the bacon jam that's supposed to be a key part of the dish. The restaurant itself is also very tight quarters. If you prefer more personal space or feel more comfortable in places where it's easy to move around or exit quickly, this may not be the best spot for you. Overall: The staff was very attentive and clearly tried to make things right after several mistakes occurred. They comped our soda, appetizer, and dessert, which we appreciated. However, given the number of issues during one visit, I'm not sure we'd return.

Holy Grail Chicken Caesar Sandwich
Michelle M.

First time ordering from here and won't be the last. The chicken Caesar sandwich was delicious. The fact that the bread is a garlic bread is genius.

Drunken Chicken Parm. Lunch menu...sooooo good!
Jason S.

Went for a quick lunch and a few drinks today. Tried the Drunken Chicken Parm off the lunch menu, I've had the regular, this was a nice switch up. Sandwich, just like all of their portions, was huge and delicious! Service was great as usual, often we get takeout, but sometimes it's nice to sit inside and enjoy the feel of the local pub. Really nice draft, bottle, can, and drink selections. Went before happy hour, so we had no wait, but their Happy Hour is pretty solid. If you are looking for something good in the area, this is your spot.

French onion soup.
William M.

I reviewed before I think. For a local pub the food is really good. It's a popular spot. Not cheap but I haven't been disappointed. I just had the soup for lunch this time but I've tried lots even the high end food is good.

Tuesday Specials
Debbie H.

Oh my gosh. When people say the portions are large, believe them. When they say, "it feels like visiting a friend's house", believe them. Stopped by while in town on business. About 4 pm. The bar was packed and everyone really seemed to be enjoying themselves. The restaurant started to fill up too before I left. Plenty of parking though. It was tough to choose - food AND beer. So many options for both and everything sounded delicious. Opted for the Napoleon Burger and subbed mixed veggies rather than fries. I'm stuffed. Everything was cooked perfectly. My waitress, Kimberly was friendly and super efficient. My only "regret" is that there was absolutely no way I could save room for dessert. Tiramisu cheesecake? Four layer carrot cake? Yes please!!!!

I'm quite impressed by this dive bar-ish restaurant. The hospitality was pleasant and the food was quite decent compared to other bars... trust me, bar food can go in many directions and you'll find out sooner or later what you ate. That prime rib sandwich was humungous and a tasty treat, especially with the side au ju. The wings were good, not the best, and definitely not the worst. Nachos were flavorful and hit the spot to complete this night. I liked how the bartenders were always around and offering to be of service, accomodated quite well for a pleasant experience.

Chicken Henley (Marsala)
John S.

This place hits on all cylinders. A very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere and excellent service. You feel like you're at a relatives for dinner. Our server Karen was amazing and very attentive to our table. The food is high quality and the portions are Very generous. The side salads served with dinner are of nice size and fresh! The Chicken Henley was amazing with a great Marsala sauce. And my NY Strip was cooked to perfection. (Pittsburgh (Black and Blue) Rare. Tender and a quality cut of beef. This is a gem of a restaurant that is worth the trip and we definitely will be back!!!

We Jammin' Burger
Christopher D.

It's been too long as I moved over an hour away. Still freaking amazing taste and ginormous portions! So glad they haven't cheapened out! Service is prompt and friendly. Food is hot, fresh and generous. Worth the trip, period. Oh yeah, come hungry and expect a wait!

Brooklyn Ruben
Brian W.

Back again after a short hiatus and it's always nice to come back to a place where they know your name know what you like. Know what you like to drink and where you can just eat drink and enjoy with the company. This time we went totally different than our past trips and opted for some sandwiches tonight my wife had a French dip, provolone and had a side of sweet potato fries, and I had the Brooklyn Reuben and swapped in mixed vegetables. Both sandwiches were fabulous. Reminded us of another time And we even brought home half for another dinner so we'll get to enjoy it again.

I don't know how John and Molly's has passed my radar and I haven't reviewed them. We have been here so many times over the past several years and have yet to have a bad experience. John and Molly's is a cozy little bar with a dining area. They serve typical bar food as well as entrées. However, I can't speak for anything other than the amazing chicken parm. This is what I get every. Single. Time. I go! A chicken Parmesan that rivals just about any Italian restaurant I've been to this baby is huge and spans and even hangs off of the plate. Crispy. Juicy. Zesty sauce and melting oozing delightful cheese served with your choice of soup or salad always fresh and tasty. The service is always on point and all of the staff work together to make sure you have everything you need and your meal is just as you want it They do have a 90 minute table limit, but I have never been asked to leave. They definitely fill up fast. That said, we have never had to wait long for a table. When you have a craving for some chicken harm, I cannot recommend John and Molly's enough. You will not be disappointed.

Chicken Breast Parmigiana. Hardly and sauce

We have been going here for years, but something's has changed. I ordered the chicken parm and it came with almost no sauce. When I asked for more sauce, they said there is an extra charge. If you look at the picture you'll see there is about a tablespoon of sauce and it's very thin. When I told them this, they said there was sauce under the cheese, which there was not. You would think that of you spoke to the chef about it and they saw the meal didn't have much sauce, they would get you more. To charge extra for sauce that is supposed to come with the meal is just stupid. This is the last time we will go to this restaurant.

NY strip with two giant onion rings
Tony H.

Stopped by John & Molly's after work at McGuire AFB, looking for something a bit different and stumbled on this gem thanks to Yelp. From the start, their beer and drink selection stood out with a great range that offers something for everyone. I ordered the NY strip, which came out juicy and perfectly cooked, paired with a loaded potato and baked eggplant. The biggest surprise was the eggplant. I didn't expect it as a side, but it was baked to absolute perfection. Crispy edges, tender inside, and seasoned just right. Honestly, it could have stood on its own as a main dish. What really made the experience exceptional was the service. My friend ordered a drink that didn't hit the mark for her. We were just going to let it go and try something else, but when the waitress came by, she noticed and immediately offered to replace it. No hesitation, just genuine care. That level of attentiveness is rare and really elevated the experience. The portions are massive. You will definitely leave full or with a box to go. The environment is awesome and perfect for meeting up with friends or colleagues to catch up on work and life. Between the great food, welcoming service, and generous servings, this is a spot I highly recommend and plan to return to.

Mixed Veggies
Brad M.

Stopped by for a late lunch on Saturday afternoon around 2-3 PM. We were seated right away in the porch area, which the hostess confirmed with us beforehand. While the porch offers a nice spot, it's a little tight, and it's easy to catch snippets of nearby conversations. Our waitress was on point--quick with drinks, attentive throughout, and made sure everything was running smoothly. My girlfriend is a big fan of their Chubby Chicken sandwich and sticks with it every time, skipping the bacon. I gave the Jammin' Burger a try, and while I was hoping for a rarer cook, it still delivered. The bacon was flavorful, and the fries were crisp, perfectly seasoned, and really rounded out the meal.

Country Chicken - my BFF's favorite dish here - nice kick, generous portion, kind of like sausage peppers and onions as a pasta dish

After having our GPS take us a ways around we got to Union Publik House and there were regulars in there already. There's a few tables and we were greeted warmly and since we were a group of five, took the larger table in the back by the kitchen. Our server was also friendly and helpful. He recommended the burgers but said just about everything we would order would be good and he was right. My wings were big and tasty, the burger we ordered was cooked as requested, the Ceasar salad was good but the chicken add-on was a bit overdone and dry, the other salad with add-on salmon was a nice big piece of fish that was quickly eaten, and the BBQ sandwich my kid had was gone in what seemed like seconds. We started with some mozzarella sticks which were fine, the pirogies were better than fine, and the homemade chips with salsa were also quickly eaten. Drinks were canned sodas at $3 each and I also had an unsweetened ice tea for the same price. I think you'll also like UPH for your lunch or dinner. We'd come back. $125 total including tax and tip for five people.

Why the hate for this spot?…read more Is it fancy? Hell no, but that's the point. Up the creek is a no-frills hybrid sports-dive-bayside bar that serves up cheap food, cheap drinks, and cheap company, in the best possible way. You're not coming here to be fancy, you're coming to watch the Mets, Yankees, Giants, or Jets on one of the huge TVs they have everywhere, while sucking down 3$ beers, and when the time calls for it, a porkroll* with cheese on a roll and an order fries. You can choose the bar, a high top, or the outdoor bar when the weather is nice enough (you'll always find me at the bar). There are some stairs to get up here, but you'll be rewarded with a view of the marina...and route 35....and if you look hard enough the parkway....ok there are stairs that lead up to a bar, that's all you gotta know. It's the perfect spot to catch the game and hang with the locals. Come in, say hey to Linda, and drink enough that you need some greasy food to make everything feel better. Doesn't get much better in my humblest of opinions. _____________________ *Call it "Taylor ham" and you're dead to me.

I don't usually go out in Levittown and was already annoyed when we walked into Sparkys. Well, what a pleasant surprise! The fever dream of a 1990's dive bar come to life. It was all these christmas lights hanging up in the midst of giant inflatables and a live DJ on a Friday night. The ladies at the bar were friendly enough and we took our drinks by the pool table to wait our turn to play. Fair warning, playing pool here is not for beginners and the game is taken way more seriously than I anticipated. Thankfully the crowd was super friendly and we were chatting with most of the people playing pool as we enjoyed our drinks. They even played Elvis Crespo's Sauvemente at one point so we felt very welcomed! The only star I'm taking off is for the indoor smoking. As someone who went out during the smoking era all through the 2000's, I never realized how horrid that was. Even worse how bad it was when you got home and had to bathe and wash your coat and everything you owned. Otherwise, I very much recommend Sparky's for a night out, and hope to see them agan in the future.
