Bergen Bar & Grill is hands down one of the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants I've ever been to!…read more Food: Do yourself a favor and order the filet mignon and wild rice -- and don't forget the side of 3 jumbo shrimp! My family has been coming here for years and we all order the same thing every time we come, and it's always phenomenal! The beef is SOOO tender, it literally melts in your mouth. And don't get me started on the wild rice. It's cooked to perfection and it's so buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere: Bergen Bar & Grill is a smaller restaurant that's first come first serve -- no reservations. You put your name and phone number on a notebook and they call you when your table is ready. Depending on the time you arrive, it can be a longer wait. However, they have a lovely patio where you can wait for your table OR you can hang out in your car. They do serve drinks on the patio which is a nice touch! One other thing to note, they are cash/check only. No credit cards so plan accordingly. Overall, I highly highly recommend Bergen Bar & Grill! You won't be disappointed.

I have enjoyed their paninis, heard their burgers are delicious, and their calzones like this taco one with all of the traditional Taco ingredients topped with crushed Doritos are handmade and it shows.
