Food is just ok. Nothing special. Totally surprised at the portion size and the price. About $14 for a plate of pasta and the portion was about 1/4 lb. Remember pasta sells for about $2 a pound. Totally overpriced. Restaurant is clean and server was very good. read more

Are second visit. This time I made reservations. Glad I did because it got very crowded! I had THE WORKS pizza and the wife and her mom had white and sausage personal pizzas. We really like the pizza!! The service was very good. Food came out very fast. We also had a very good IPA on tap. We are looking forward to coming here again soon. read more

If it wasn't for Yelp and maybe the more modern sign outside I would never think to try this place. In other words, it looks like nothing from the outside. Coming in the place is cozy, the menu is large, and the beer is cold. Well, it's not only cold, but I have never had beer served in glasses that were so frosty before. Nice job! The CREAM OF BROCCOLI CHEDDAR SOUP that was on special I could have all day long and the FIREHOUSE BURGER - 8oz Pork Bacon Burger with Provolone Cheese, Spicy Minced Pickles, Shredded Lettuce, Topped with Jalapeno Crema on a Brioche Bun, Served with Shoestring Fries was great too. It was interesting that someone mentioned the rum punch 'to die for' in one of the reviews. Though I did not try it I saw it being made. Strange place for such a thing but it seems to have become something they are famous locally for--and if I understood the server correctly it is something that is not always 100% the same. read more

Great bar! Traveled pretty far to try the place out and loved it! Out bar tender was very attentive and friendly. The food was flying out the kitchen and our meals were still perfect. read more

We stopped for lunch. On a ride planned by a New Jersey born and raised buddy and his wife - we rode some stunningly scenic roads. Sure my list of their errors in planning could fill a small to medium size library but the lunch stop at the Layton Hotel & Tavern was NOT on that alleged list. The menu is large enough and varied enough to require a "Clift Notes" version. So many excellent choices and our group of 13 sampled a wide variety and all I can say is it seemed to erase our "very damp"... some might even say soaking wet morning and our tour of a low hanging cloud. Cold drinks, great service, and cool rustic establishment all tucked into the middle some of the best Mother Nature has to offer. It is easy to dwell on the fun that can fill your life like a great meal with great friends while rolling on two in beautiful surroundings that even rain can't dampen. But it is so much more nourishing to your soul to have happenstance provide the opportunity to help someone in need. Jess we all wish you a speedy and full recovery! read more

Definitely would not recommend!! Horrible experience, AGAIN! The male bartender ( also " owner ") is very uptight, rude and obnoxious! We've been there several times and his attitude never changes, we will not be going back! read more

overpriced, terrible pizza.......was very disappointed. after driving by this place for 7 years I decided to give it a chance. that was a mistake. I will continue to drive by going forward. read more

We have come to The Layton hotel for years. The last three times we visited there, it was an hour wait to get a pizza. The entrées are very expensive just like every other restaurant however they were not worth the price. Today we went in and ordered the chicken wings, which are normally delicious and they were terrible. Then because the pizza oven was backed up and we would have to wait one hour. We ordered the nachos, the nachos were terrible. I could get better nachos at Taco Bell. Unfortunately, I would have to say things have changed here and I do not recommend it. read more

Delicious meal and fast service. I had the chicken carabinera, still a place that allows side choices. Historical old hotel to add to the hallowed vibe. read more

This was our first visit back to Layton Hotel, since the virus hit back in March. They are now doing outdoor seating in addition to curbside pick-up. Although we were picking up an order to go, I have to say that Layton has the social distancing done right with the outside dining. There are picnic tables spaced out back and it just seemed so peaceful out there tonight. We plan on coming back and eating al fresco once the summer heat dies down. As for our order, another amazing white pizza with broccoli and tomatoes and an order of baked ziti for my fiancé. He says it's his favorite thing on the menu right alongside the chicken Parmesan. read more

Layton Hotel Tavern - White pizza with broccoli and tomatoes. Simply delicious. - Seafood Near Me - Layton, New Jersey

What a wonderful surprise! I expected @laytonhotel to be good... after all there are ALWAYS cars in the lot. I expected great bar food... instead I got braised short rib with Guinness gravy over pappardelle! An eclectic menu, great beer selection, lovely location for outdoor dining, friendly and timely service! Oh... the bar food looks great too! Why didn't I try this sooner?! read more

We had dinner while visiting our aunt and uncle. We came from pismo beach, ca to see them. My aunt shared her mussels with me which was off. The. Charts. Never seen a mussel that big. AND tasty! Uncle and I had clams with linguini in white sauce. Unreal. Great service and warm dining room! read more

sorry , we are reg customers , and the absolute worst night out with friends ,2 hr wait after reservation , waitress wouldn't allow me to order my usual salad then finally said ok and after all that I never received it . the owner (who had to tell us 5 times he was the owner ) came to table and berated our friend on how he was rude and another table told him so. OWNER told us while waiting for table , he didn't have time to make us drinks and don't crowd the 1/2 empty bar . sorry but you lost 7 patrons the frequent this place minimum 2 times a week read more

Excellent food and service. Been here many times and we are never disappointed. Burgers and wings are great.

The friendliness of the owner and the staff, the quality of the food and the detail paid to it. I'm immune compromised so I need to always get food to go. The staff knows this & gets it to me right out of the kitchen... As you can see, it's pack deliciously and tastes superb. I've known Rui, the owner, for years and he's always strived for quality above and beyond.... So.... Eat in, take out... go to the Layton Hotel in Layton, NJ read more

Layton Hotel Tavern - Linguine with White Clam Sauce, fresh, hot roll and a beautiful portrait. - Seafood Near Me - Layton, New Jersey

Very good quality of food , nice salad and chicken was very tender and delicious, I will go back again.

Called this place the night before and asked if dogs were allowed on the leash for outdoor dining. Was told yes, for dining on the patio. Came the next day (an hour trip for us) and told that absolutely no dogs allowed. There was NO one on the terrace and NO one on the huge lawn with picnic tables! Train your employees! read more

Really liked all the things we ate (and drank). Service was on top of their game. Stupidly, I didn't see the specials board or would have likely ordered even more. Portions are good - the Mediterranean calamari was really good. Even the kids crushed it. Highly recommend. read more

Just had the ABSOLUTE WORST GRANDMA pie ever! We threw the whole thing out it was that inedible. A frozen pizza from a gas station would have been better. read more

Stopped by here after hiking in Stokes State Forest. The menu was awesome and the specials were really well priced. The pierogies were absolutely delicious, as was. The blackened shrimp wrap! Friendly patrons that obviously knew each other were open to welcoming new faces! We will definitely be going here again! read more

Food is solid, but if you go avoid tables outside. Tables are gross with bugs and bird crap on them, no shade and stench from their septic system is prevalent. Why do they even bother having tables out there if they are not going to make it a place you would want to eat? read more

This place is great! I love their pizza and their chicken cutlet sandwich. They have a rum punch to die for. We come here often and will continue to do so. Their service is also great. Very attentive. Lots of draft beer options and great desserts. read more

What a great afternoon stop on a lazy beautiful Sunday at the first of Spring! We were starving and uncertain of what would be open during these crazy times. But happily. We found the Layton Hotel Tavern. Best surprise? Crispy Fried Spicy Wings! Definitely the favorite of the table. The Vermont Burger was just as notable with any style fries you prefer.. we ended up with steak, shoestring and sweet potato (my favorite). Top it off with Bloody Mary's that were on point as well.. and we would be back every Sunday if it wasn't so far from read more

I placed an order for pick up and was surprised at the total. When I called to inquire I was told they added $2+ to the bill because we used a Mastercard to pay. It would have been cheaper if we paid cash. I think it's despicable they are so cheap that they pass on their merchant fees to the consumer!!!! If they choose to accept visa or Mastercard for payment then the merchant fees are cost of doing business. I will never order from them again! Oh by the way Layton Hotel...NOBODY else does this as you claim. read more

Nope. Nope. Nope. Rude staff. Didn't even get in the door before we turned around and headed out. Drove 40 minutes to have a birthday dinner and was rudely told if we didn't have a reservation "just forget it" and laughed at by the host. read more

Very nice spot for lunch after hiking Raymondskill Falls. The food came out quick and was really good. The outdoor seating was nice.

Out of the way place that was totally worth the drive. Friendly staff and a welcoming vibe upon entering. The Stellas were cold, wings were on point and the pizza rocked. Definitely going back. read more

Our day started as a beautiful one until we arrived here. Worst place ever, using Covid as an excuse. Don't waste your money or time. We waited an hour and a half for our food. Manager and cook were rude to us because we asked for our food. read more

Layton Hotel Tavern - it is one of the worst places to come to eat. Waited for our food for an hour and a half - Seafood Near Me - Layton, New Jersey

The waitress is rude, overworked, and horrible attitude. Why spend your money here. Going out to eat or drink is for pleasure; not to be harass. We ended up at The Mountain House. This place has a beautiful view to a lake, and waitresses welcome you with a smile and good service. read more

Stumbled into this place by mistake! What a lovely mistake. Really deceiving from outside-once inside it's a really nice bar / restaurant with a great selection of drinks and absolutely killer food. I had the butternut squash soup... I ordered ANOTHER to go, THATS how delicious it was. By the time we got our entrees I figured I'd be full and wouldn't finish it... NOPE, I couldn't stop eating my linguine in white wine clam sauce. Holy smokes, literally the best one I've ever had and I've had MANY. Not sure what they really use to make the sauce but it was fantastic. My husband had the chicken parm, again so good we ordered another to go!! We will absolutely be back to this place, even tho it's over an hour from our home! Paige our server was great at recommending dishes. Only regret is not trying the salted caramel cheesecake!! read more

Very welcoming local joint - service was as good as I've seen. Likely one of the best burgers I've eaten in a long while, cooked as requested with nice fresh red onions. Onion rings without exception the most flavorful I've ever eaten. Crispy, not greasy, just downright good. Only beef, the pizza, greasy, poor quality cheese and sauce I could make better from a tin of Campbell's soup, hardly a margarita pie. Service and the burger offset the shitty pie. read more

Fantastic service and food. Beautiful view out windows. It was open on a Monday! Pigwings were amazing, We love those little bottles of wine. We will be back, read more

Like many people we were passing through Layton on our way to the Walpack Inn. Finding that there was over an hour wait we tried this. It was a great choice. There was an extensive specials menu in addition to the regular menu. Service was terrific. One of our party spilled a glass of wine. It was immediately put right, and a new glass of wine put in its place " on the house". Seafood pasta, shrimp scampi, strip steak, all yummy! read more

WE love Layton. During COVID they have been such a consistently wonderful delight - first for take-out and now with serving and eating outside. The waitstaff, and Roi, and the Chef(s) - Kitchen and Pizza - all and everyone working there... such good kind lovely great people and we love the food! read more

We found this gem after visiting the local Sunflower fields on a Sunday evening. The place was packed. The menu has something for everyone..small bites, soups, salads, burgers, seafood and desserts. All of our food looked beautiful and was delicious! The pirogies and the chicken pesto sandwich were especially good! read more

We just had one of the best dishes of Osso Bucco I have had in a long time. Quite a surprise for a tavern/restaurant in the corner of Sussex County. Great job. Hope they have it as a special again soon. read more

Delicious food and many options , Everything we had used fresh ingredients . From the Pasta to the Burgers we all enjoyed our meals. The server was very nice too . We had a 2 yr old with us and it wasn't a problem. Was my first time here and will be back. read more

This food is absolutely amazing!! Hands down best restaurant in the area. I've had the kale salad and mixed green salad plus salmon and both are INCREDIBLE. The sweet potato fries and chips are also OUT OF THIS WORLD!! read more
