Heard so much about this famous place which is always busy. Saturday lunch if go early enough you may not need to wait. It is pretty dim inside but spacious. The decor is nice. Food is a hybrid between bar food and restaurant food. Our waitress was amazing. My coworkers told me they kept going back because the food is so good. I've tried a few things and I thought the food is good but not in sure if I would keep going back for more. The short ribs Mac and cheese is very flavorful. The bun and bread come from Liv bread which is one of the best bakery period. It isn't cheap but you definitely get quality ingredient. It is also family friendly, you see a lot of families with young kids.
The truffle fries were good, caesar salad was ok, and the waygu burger wasn't as good as expected. The seared tuna appetizer was good, though, a good teriyaki sauce with it. Oysters they nicely split into two 3-piece iced servings for us, too, as we split a half dozen.
Great spot in the Millburn area! This is a really cute town overall. We got here around 5pm and barely snagged a table. It is POPULAR and there are long waits. The food was pretty good! Wings, focaccia bread, typical bar food but great quality. The kids loved their Mac and cheese. The fish tacos were beautiful but a bit disappointing. Definitely needs hot sauce. It was crowded and busy so service could have been better but it's a solid spot if you're in the area.
Hands down my favorite restaurant in Millburn. Whenever I have decision fatigue on where to eat on a weekend, i can always count on Millburn Standard to serve good food without having to think about it. The menu is pretty "standard" American bar food, if you will (hehe) but also has a few dishes with a twist. The Blackened Shrimp & Corn Cakes is one of the most unique dishes I've ever had, a lot of different flavors but they work SO well together, and the sauce is incredible. It's a must try in my opinion. The burgers, tempura chicken, and truffle fries are all awesome as well. The quality of food is amazing, and i love their beer list as well. I get a Super Bock every time. The hosts are always smiling and friendly, and the service is consistently good. They always show sports games and i love the fire pits. Definitely should be your go-to dinner soot for any occasion.
Absolutely loved it!! The first time I visited, I ordered the steak tacos, which were super flavorful. A tad greasy but I still enjoyed them. On my second visit, I tried the blackened shrimp and corn cakes, and that dish alone inspired me to finally leave a review. Every ingredient was so vibrant and delightful, with flavors that complimented each other beautifully. The sweet corn cakes combined with the heat of the shrimp and the creamy avocado were perfect. The various textures made each bite even better. My friend also loved the american waygu burger. The place was pretty packed around 4:30 pm on a Saturday, but service was still pretty quick. Our waitress was also super sweet and attentive. Definitely one of the best dinners I've had in the area. Amazing spot!!
Came here for drinks and apps with a friend. Great place to stop by for a quick drink. The ambiance is very nice. Drinks were made well and had an aesthetic to them. On the pricey side. Great for a date night.
We loved the food and ambiance at Millburn Standard! Our server was fantastic and very accommodating with our food allergies. The only downside was a table of 5 very loud children nearby whose adult companion didn't manage the noise level. The restaurant also did nothing to noise control. Despite that, we had a wonderful experience and will highly recommend it.
Incredible food. Fresh, very high quality, decent portions. All cocktails were strong and flavorful. Service was excellent. Very nice and stylish interior. Comfortable booths and tables. Also family friendly. Would love to go back!
Great place to hangout with friends or having a cozy family dinner or date. Restaurant has an upscale, contemporary pub vibe with stylish, perhaps darker, modern decor and great service . Space is divided in 2 sections - casual bar side seating with lot of TVs, high tables , few booths and a dining section with booth and tables. We went on a Sunday eve for dinner and got seated right way in bar section. We ordered spicy margarita, Paloma fr drinks, spinach-artichoke dip, corn cakes for apps and black bean burger to share. Drinks and apps were great, burger was okay. Overall, a really good place to meet friends/family with great cocktails and nice food.
This place was ok. It has a modern sports bar vibe with giant TVs throughout the restaurant. The food was nicely presented but the flavors didn't all come together for me. I ordered the tempura chicken bites. The tempura breading didn't go well with the traditional chicken bites. The French onion soup was too salty. I also ordered the prime rib beef tacos. It has way too much cumin. The cumin spice overpowered everything.
So I've been here a million times and tend to get a burger, the tuna app, and other traditional things. Tonight, I decided to get a special, which I tend not to do. Glass noodles in a black bean sauce with chicken and veggies. Fantastic! Everything went perfectly and continued a streak of very solid meals
Amazing ambiance. Beautiful bar. I would come here for any occasion. Drinks were great and the food was delicious. The burger was good. The fries were nice and crispy. Wings were good, but nothing special. I didn't try a lot of the food, but I will be back to try some more.

The drinks were well balanced, refreshing, and great for the ambiance and weather! The calamari was probably the best I've had this far. Cooked to perfection and the sweet chili sauce yumm! Their truffle fries, thin with great flavor.. actually couldn't finishing my burger because I devoured the fries first! The atmosphere, service, and playlist were a definite must check out! read more
A Second Visit Worth Every Bite! When a restaurant is good enough to bring you back for a second visit, you know they're doing something right! The Millburn Standard in Millburn, New Jersey, has officially earned a spot on my list of places worth revisiting! On my first visit, I enjoyed the street corn, a beautifully presented dish with bok choy, and some delicious lemon drop cocktails. Everything was flavorful, beautifully plated, and definitely made a great first impression. The lemon drops were a perfect addition to the experience! Fast-forward to my second visit, and I was back for more! This time, I ordered the French onion soup, which arrived with that gorgeous golden, melted cheese on top. Rich, comforting, and exactly what I was craving! I also had to order the Thai calamari again because clearly, it made an impression the first time around! Crispy, flavorful, and tossed in a delicious sauce with just the right amount of kick. Definitely one of my favorites! And of course, I couldn't leave without enjoying a latte! Beautifully served, creamy, and the perfect way to round out my visit. Anyone who knows me knows I appreciate a good latte! What I love about The Millburn Standard is the variety of dishes, the presentation, and the inviting atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy cocktails, share a few appetizers, or sit down for a comforting meal. Two visits down, and I'm already looking forward to a third! If you're in the Millburn area, this spot is definitely worth checking out. And take my advice: don't skip the Thai calamari or the French onion soup! Yelp Elite approved! read more
We came in for just a drink, but we were tempted with the late night bar bites that were available. We were absolutely blown away by the tempura battered chicken tenders and the truffle fries, and need to come back ASAP! I've been for dinner as well which was lovely, with a great wine list as well. read more

After hiking 7.5 miles this is a fantastic spot to relax. The Wagyu burger and truffle fries for $25 was terrific meal. Great value. Great taste. I love the mushrooms and the bun of the burger. The meat itself was extremely juicy. I think I love the most of the truffle fries and the aïoli sauce. I could drink the aïoli sauce. The truffle fries were so delicious. Our server was nice. There's a nice low lit ambience in the place. The AC is cranked up so we were a little cold to be honest. Nice clean bathrooms. read more
Great food! I'd been a bit scared off by hearing that this was a big, loud, crowded happy hour spot, but fear not! There's a partial wall between the bar area and the main dining room, so they feel sufficiently separated. Husband and I shared a Caesar salad as appetizer. No photo because I was too busy eating its creamy cheesy crunchiness. The miso salmon was excellent and a well-composed dish. The special Hawaiian ribeye is marinated in a blend of sauces and pineapple juice--quite delicious and the steak was well cooked. Tip: The restaurant is veery dimly lit so don't forget your reading glasses if you're old like me. read more

While in the Millburn area, I was debating between 3 restaurants for dinner. I have no regrets about choosing Millburn Standard. Nice location in historic Millburn. There is street parking or public lots. Both inexpensive at 50 cents an hour. The restaurant has 4 different areas for seating (outdoor, bar area, main dining room and a separate room). We went for the main dining room which is full of booths. Traditional booths, corner booths and 2-seater booths which would be good for date nights. Lighting and decor made for a great vibe. Intimate but not too dark. Bar selection was impressive as a whiskey drinker. Younger wait staff, but all very professional and courteous. As for food, I would describe the menu as "Modern American". Started off with the Burrata and nachos. Nachos were average, but the Burrata was very good and served on a softer toast than the normal Burrata. The blackened shrimp has a southwestern flair served with corn cakes. Delicious and creative. One of tonight's specials was a pan seared snapper over coconut jasmine rice. Sauce and rice were delicious. Fish was moderately seasoned. Loved the presentation on both of these dishes as well. Finally, my son does not get excited about many things, but he described the fish tacos as "Amazing"! They were served with a really tasty mango garnish and Brussels Sprouts. Even the desserts were intriguing, but we were stuffed. Between courses they provide hot towels and the outdoor seating also has heaters. Both nice touches. We arrived just after 5pm on a Saturday and there was no wait. The scene quickly changed by the time we left. It's easy to understand why this is a local favorite. Give it a try! read more

Millburn standard is such an amazing restaurant the atmosphere is amazing nice dim lights and so cozy, the food was amazing the drinks were so good, the chicken was so crispy read more
Great spot! We stopped by for a quick dinner and was so glad we did. Ambience and service were great - good for date night, families or girls night. Parking lot a few blocks down made it super easy on a cold night. We ordered a caesar salad and French dip. Perfect to share! Thanks for a great evening - looking forward to returning soon! read more
Nice modern restaurant in downtown Millburn. So nice to kids with good kids' menu..Adults all had great meals: steak on salad, salmon on salad, poke on salad. Servers were super busy but trying their best. Nice cocktails, beers, wine. Kids split the giant cookie with ice cream. read more

Love the atmosphere at this place and the service was excellent. However I hate to say it but the food was kind of blah. Black bean burger looked great but was just mush and had very little flavor. Potato skins were ok but greasy and so was the Clown Burger (their play on a Big Mac). French Onion Soup was way too salty. The shoestring fries were actually the best part of all of our meals. Lastly the prices in my option were kind of ridiculous for what you get. Fun spot and worth checking out but in my opinion the food looks better than it tastes. read more
There will likely be a waitlist (no reservations), so plan accordingly. Though I will say I appreciated being able to see where in the queue our party was via my phone instead of having to ask. Our wait time ended up being quicker than expected for our party of 4. Our server was friendly. All of the apps, entrees, and drinks were great. Highly recommend: Shepards pie, French dip, standard burger, and the spinach artichoke dip. --Best spin dip I've had, honestly. We all kept talking about it. The restaurant itself was cozy and decorated with festive Christmas decor. I would definitely return. read more

Brussel Sprouts was burned. Something has changed. I spoke with a customer and she had the Brussels sprouts sent back twice. They're not juicy and plump. They're small, withered and dry. She's eaten here a number of times, and the Brussel sprouts aren't the same anymore. I ordered the chicken after 2 or 3 years and it was drowning in salt. No longer is the chicken tender and soft. It's chewy, gamey and so so salty. I loved their rotisserie chicken in the past from 4-5 years ago. It now tastes no different from a chicken from ShopRite or Wegmans. read more

Jack with the beard needs to go home if he's not happy with his job I had a very uncomfortable experience here. While ordering, one staff member named Jack repeatedly gave us hostile looks that felt targeted and unwelcoming toward Asians. Shortly after, he forcefully took my beer away without clearly explaining why and immediately called the manager over instead of addressing the situation respectfully. The interaction felt unnecessary and embarrassing, and it made us feel singled out rather than treated like regular customers. I hope management looks into this and provides better training on respectful, non-discriminatory customer service, because no one should feel uncomfortable or targeted while dining out. read more

I'm surprised that I hadn't already reviewed Millburn Standard before because its definitely one of my favorite spots in Essex County. I dined here over the weekend, and as usual, and the food and their service were consistently excellent. Their cocktails are fantastic and my favorite menu item it the Wagyu burger with the sautéed mushrooms and truffle fries. They don't take reservations, so get there early if dining during the weekend. Also, there is no parking lot but there is municipal and covered lot parking on the adjacent street that is free after 6pm. read more
Went on a recent Saturday night arriving at 6:30. I was a little surprised that it was packed with an hour wait for a table. So we waited & got a drink. Plenty of TV's for sports viewing. Wait took about 50 minutes & we were seated in the main dining room (fortunately since the bar area was louder). Waiter was prompt & attentive. Ordered Tempura Cauliflower for our app. It was a little oily but the natural taste of cauliflower made up for it. Buddy ordered Prime Rib & I had the Filet Mignon Med-Rare. Unfortunately, I didn't notice my Filet was on the rare side in the center before I had already dug into it. I would have asked for a few more minutes of cook time otherwise. Both entrees came with mashed potato & grilled asparagus, too much for either one of us to finish. Sauce for the Filet was very tasty. I didn't see any way to make a reservation on their website. Keep that in mind if you're planning anything with a start time as there's likely a wait. Would like to try it again... read more
Date night and we came here specifically for the sides and drinks. Drinks are always on point, and service seems to be consistently great when dining in. My favs in order: Fries (matchstick style). I made the mistake of saying extra crispy out of habit at other places but because these are smaller, they got too crunchy. Nothing some blue cheese dressing couldn't fix! Soy glazed brussel sprouts - they may look burnt because of the soy but bring these to me by the bucket Parker house rolls - three types of butter. Thankfully the wife loves the pimiento and I stick to the cinnamon molasses- no sharing! Tempura Cauliflower- generous portion size. Heat nicely the next day in an air fryer! Mexican street corn- mmm. cheesy goodness You cant go wrong with a winter mule to sip along with all the above esp during this cold winter. read more

Beautiful place with many seating options and bonus nearby parking lot. The servers were busy but still managed to pay attention to each customer. The cauliflower and shrimp tacos were amazing. Skip the key lime pie as it was very tart. Upscale sports bar in the front and traditional seating in the back. I'll be back! read more
