What a lovely spot! Adorable casual atmosphere with delicious food! Our server was kind, prompt and accurate, but did not hover. Portions are generous so I was able to enjoy my entree again the next day (Scallops with tomato risotto). A varied menu, but every item is delicious! Looking forward to going back! read more

Haven't been here in over a year because it fell short from what it used to be. It's such a cute place with a great atmosphere. Well I went back to give it another shot and I'm sorry to say that there's no coming back. There's no chef. It's the owner sweeping the dining area and running in the back cooking with what seemed to be previous wait staff cooking as well. The menu changed a bit since last time and I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised and I was surprised but not pleasantly. I had to try the French Onion soup which started out phenomenal until I found a piece of plastic in it. Waitress took it back and then returned saying it was a piece of the outside of an onion. Nope it certainly was not! First mistake. Then I ordered the chicken francese. It wasn't francese it was a piece of chicken with a lot of mozzarella cheese on it and after my second bite, I realized it was raw!!!! Very thin sliced chicken that was raw. How??? This place was awesome years ago, not sure what happened. Great little place and nice people. Maybe there's a chance to turn it around but I don't see that happening. read more

I loved the old-fashioned and the pasta dish! It was a good time in this restaurant! read more

Came here a month ago with my wife for the first time, really enjoyed our meals. Food : I ordered the cacio e pepe with shrimp which was both super tasty and surprisingly light to me. My wife got a delicious fusilli and broccoli rabe that she really enjoyed as well. Service : our waitress Ava was super kind and on top of everything. I also noticed that the owner or manager was out helping with the tables which I was not only surprised, but I definitely respected the hustle. Aesthetic: a very nice dining area separated by a look through wall to the well stocked bar makes for a very cozy place. read more

Miner's Apron - New American Near Me - Mine Hill, New Jersey

Found this hole in the wall driving towards North Jersey! We were immediately seated upon arriving on a Sunday night. Service was quick and most of the food we had was really good! Our favorites were the steak and the potato soup special. I also enjoyed my burrata salad pictured. I do feel some of the options were a little pricier for the portion sizes (potato soup was $13 , 4 small fried pickles was $13 , onion soup was $10) , which is why I took off a star. But on the plus side they offered us to be part of their rewards program. I could see us coming back to try some other food options if we're around the area read more

Based on rave reviews, we decided to order takeout from the restaurant's website. The process was simple enough till the checkout page. Tip for takeout is by default set at 20%. Then there were the fees. There's an online ordering fee (which I've seen on third party websites, never on a restaurant's own website) and a PICKUP FEE! I understand the restaurant business is extremely cut-throat and every cent matters. Granted that prices have increased across the board and so has cost of living, but the logic of a pick up fee on top of all the other charges is completely lost on me. The food may be great and in-house dining may be wonderful, but the online ordering experience makes me wonder what other hidden charges I need to look out for. read more

Cozy restaurant with great food & service. Everyone was so nice! Food was fresh & hot Cant remember what we ate as it was about 3 weeks ago! I will definitely go back for more when in the neighborhood! Parking was plentiful! read more

I'm literally writing this review while still eating because everything is that good. We ordered the cornbread, grilled wings, roasted broccoli, and the open-face roast beef sandwich, and every single bite has been amazing. It's rare to find food that tastes genuinely homemade, with both flavor and quality shining through in every dish. The cornbread is perfectly balanced, the wings have incredible char and seasoning, the broccoli is roasted just right, and the roast beef sandwich is pure comfort food done at a level you don't often find. Miner's Apron is truly a gem. Flavorful, high-quality, and clearly made with care. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

NJ Bar & Grill is in the midst of a makeover. Within the next year, it will be renamed to The Miner's Apron. One of the co-owners spent a good deal of time at our table explaining the changes. They're really taking the history of Mine Hill and incorporating it into their restaurant. You can see that just by looking at the names of their cocktails. The new menu has lots of interesting choices. My wife and I met friends there and tried a variety of appetizers and entrees. The French Onion soup was delicious and the Fried Pickles were different but tasty. Our entrees ranged from a burger to fried chicken, grilled chicken BLT, to my Roast Beast sandwich. It was definitely a different menu, but everyone enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert, but the cherry cheesecake egg rolls sounded amazing! This is a good local restaurant. Check it out! read more

Food was great, ambiance a bit wild on the weekend but the service and friendliness of the owners and staff more than overcompensated for the noise level. We will be "frequenting this neighborhood gem" during the week! Nice size portions so pace yourself! Desserts are really good as well! read more

First time there. Started with the French onion soup. This was excellent! Sorry did not get a pic. Service was excellent. Owner came out to introduce himself and later followed up to see how the food was. Pricing is competitive considering today's environment. I highly recommend! You will not be disappointed! read more

First time, party of 4 . Dining room was busy for a Tuesday evening , only one waitress who was very nice and working hard . Food was ok my only complaint was it took a little over 45 minutes to get our food, I wish they would of put some bread or Tostito and salsa on the table read more

Food is just awesome. Good size portions great service and a hidden gem in Morris County

This place is a hidden gem in Mine Hill. It's worth seeking out for its diverse and elevated menu that comes out fast and hot! We loved the staff and the owner who loves what he does as it shows through his menu design, attention to detail and positive vibes that he infuses into the entire experience. Give the Miner's Apron a visit, it won't disappoint. Meatballs Friend Prosciutto & mozzarella over bruschetta Chicken Parm Espresso and tres leches was a great finish to the evening.

Miner's Apron - Cavatelli with short rib special. - New American Near Me - Mine Hill, New Jersey

I like this place! Located on a side road amoungst houses, it's a little hard to find. There is plenty of parking and inside you'll find a large bar with several TV's which is great for watching sports and a dining room. Interior-wise, it could use a refresh, some color, etc. The bartenders were friendly and I really loved the simplified menu. We started with the garlic shrimp app - GET THIS! Comes with bread and the dish is pretty big. For dinner I enjoyed the buffalo wings - you get 8 juicy wings and they tasted amazing - really the best wings I have had in a long time. Price was reasonable - $12. My husband enjoyed the gringo taco's. The meat was a little salty; other than that he enjoyed it. We'll be back!!!!!!! read more

I can (and have) walked here from my house. I will never ever go here again. The food is (even after multiple changes in management according to waitresses) atrocious! Inedible! Ordered a burger medium. It was raw. Showed the waitress. They cut the burger in half and threw it in the deep fryer and it was still raw when we got it back the second time. Cold fries. Just bad food in general. I live in the neighborhood and even I have to admit that the patrons are difficult to deal with. It's the type of place where if the bar flies don't recognize you, they give you dirty looks. Do yourself a favor and stay away. read more

All the food is prepared from scratch using seasonal ingredients. We've been here twice and absolutely loved the food and the experience. The owner is also very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!! read more

WOW! What a fantastic meal! This is a beautiful & comfortable restaurant that managed to snag a PHENOMENAL chef! Everything from service to our 4 courses plus wine & cocktails and EVERYTHING was amazing! Excited to see how The Miners Apron evolves and will be back very soon. read more

We hired the Miner's Apron to cater a very special birthday party. We had used them previously and the food was great. The men came and set everything up and were very nice. However, as we opened each tray of food it became obvious that the food was not fresh. The penne vodka was inedible. The guests at the party barely picked at the food and everything was thrown into the garbage. We ordered pizzas instead because everyone was hungry. We contacted the owner who was very apologetic and said he would look into what happened and get back to us with a refund amount. After waiting for over two weeks, we still had no response, so we reached out to him again. He ignored us for a few days and then we sent another reminder text to which he replied he had fired his chefs, the food was not made according to standards, and he would get back to us once again with a refund amount. We literally never heard from the owner again. Just to clarify we gave him over $4,000 worth of business over the past 12 months. I do not recommend doing business with the restaurant. read more

Come here and you will not be disappointed! We had a party of 18 and there is not one thing I would change about our experience. The service was great, food came out timely, and they make you feel so welcome! Everyone enjoyed their meals, which is not easy to find a place that all of us can agree on. I had a pasta special (spicy pene and shrimp) and the grilled wings (homemade Habanero). Hands down the best dishes I have had in a long time. I also had the best espresso martini, which, again, was the best I have ever had! Also, all of their desserts were delicious! We travled an hour and would do it again! I can not say enough good things about this place! You have got to try this place - it will not disappoint! read more

The restaurant resides within NJ Bar and Grill. Well worth trying the as it is not your typical pub fare, but a gem inside a long established B&G. If you see reviews older than 6 mths, they were not for the Minors Apron. The newer reviews show the change in quality. Give it a try! read more

My husband and I sat at the bar, and we ordered a Kane and a few appetizers. Was very impressed with the friendly staff and great food. Well done... read more

My husband, myself and two friends had dinner here for the first time on Thursday night. Each of us had a different entree and each of us was very pleased and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had penne and shrimp which I can honestly say was the best I've ever had, anywhere, even at the best Italian restaurant. Our server, although very busy, was extremely attentive but not intrusive by any means... The gentleman who owns the restaurant, who we did not know at all, stopped by our table several times just to be sure everything was as we liked. There was a rather large party seated not far from us, but it had absolutely no impact on our dining experience. Please be assured, we will be returning sooner than later and looking forward to doing so. Thank you. read more
