    Roasted Pork Sdw with Basket of Fries

    We decided to head out for a bite to eat on Tuesday night. We opted to try a friend suggestion for a local establishment that turned out to be a really good decision. The server, Natale, was extremely nice and helpful with suggestions. We started out getting cocktails which were fantastic. We orders the blueberry lemon drop and apple pie martinis. Both were awesome in their own right. The blueberry lemon drop was more on the sweet side where as the apple pie tasted like an apple pie and made me feel part of the fall season coming upon us. We then ordered the crab filled quesadilla and the roast pork sandwich with au jus and fries. Each were delicious. The pork was done in house and the crab quesadilla was beyond tasty. This was enough to fill us for the evening. We will be back to try other tasty items on the menu. Please give this place a try if looking for a great low key place with wonderful indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy your own conversation with great service along with food & drinks.

    Great local bar, very appropriate name, a several notches above dive bars.. that I normally love to frequent and review. Great tap beer selection.. domestic and popular Europeans. Wings are delicious it Mild is not mild ... hot. Burger is superior but roll was rather cold . Live band was great ONEHOTMESSNJ. Lots to like about this local bar and grill... cost, service and variety.. definitely recommend.

    $12 for 10 wings and a pitcher on Fridays. Great wings

    This place was great. The service, the live band, the beer, and the wings. Oh yeah the Wings. They were so good, but honestly the chicken cutlet sandwich was better. Chicken was crunchy and cooked perfect, the sauce, the cheese, the roasted red peppers. But the star was the bread. Nice and fluffy on the inside and crisp and crunchy on the outside. The new owners of this place know what they are doing, as they are the same owners as Giumarello's Restaurant & G Bar. I wish they were closer to my house. Great place

    The bar, and Tina the bartender

    I give this place 4 stars for what it is.....A tiny hole in the wall bar with banging ass bar food! !!! I had the pork sandwich and it was LOADED with meat!!!! I also had the wings which is the reason I went in there, and they too were SLAMMING!!!! What makes them so special is the pepper sauce they use....BANGING!!! the Hot is HOT, so be careful....it gave me the burn I was looking for!!!!! The folks that run the place are real cool and you could tell appreciated someone other then the usual suspects stopping by to check them out.....Wednesday's are wing day!

    Always a great day to have lunch and a cold beer at one of my all time favs...Local.    Miss you Babes, but still a great spot.

    In my opinion, Local has the best food around here and it's not close. Everything I've had from there has been great. Nice atmosphere also.

I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.

The food here is delicious. There are a ton of options to choose from, and everything is made fresh and served hot (I mean, unless it's supposed to be served cold, like a salad - you know what I mean people!). They have daily specials and you may need to sit down for this one: they honor their specials for take-out. What? Yes, that is correct. Monday: wing night Tuesday: tacos Wednesday: cheesesteaks Thursday: burgers Try them all and see what you like! Over the past decade, I've gotten to know the bartenders a little bit and I appreciate them because they serve good drinks and are friendly. They are also prompt! When they have a moment, they take the time to chat a little with me and I like that. The pub itself is cozy. The lighting is always appropriate for what's going on and there are plenty of TVs around, displaying the local sports teams. Sometimes there is live entertainment, too. You can sit and eat at the bar but there are also booths, tables, and high-tops to choose from. I uploaded some menu photos because this site did not have any. Go check out Kavanagh's Irish Pub & Grille - I know you will love it!
