They have a separate…read morebuilding with a really nice room overlooking the river on one side and the fire pit/main restaurant on the other The room itself is warm & inviting with lots of wood, big windows, high ceilings and the tables can be set up any way you want. We had a cocktail party for about 35 people at high tops and it was excellent (plenty of room for dancing, etc) The food was delicious, prices are very reasonable and the staff were great! I highly recommend having any kind of party there! I can't say enough about Erin who was the event manager. She worked with me for months making sure that everything is going to be perfect. I'm sure I was driving her crazy at several points but her patience was exceptional and her management & organization skills are incredible! She also is a tech wiz (at least compared to me) and helped me set up a playlist for the party on a Bluetooth system and a video loop of photos of my husband to play on the TVs. She was there the whole night along with a bartender and runner and everything was as smooth as can be. I was totally relaxed knowing that she was taking care of all the details! Thank you so much, Erin! The party would not have been a terrific success without you! Definitely check out River for your next party!

This place is so good. The food is tasty and hits the spot late night…read more Great portions. If you like what Latin American countries do with burgers and hot dogs, this is the spot. Reminds me of Colombia or Brazil. Recommend the NY chopped cheese, the burgers, and the MozzFather hotdog. Spicy is just spicy enough, the ratings are pretty spot on, spicy 1 for the kids, spicy 2 for the bitties, spicy 3 for the old farts like me who need to get slapped in the fact. Solid desserts. Which at dinner or midnight goes down perfect. Oreos or cake. Tried the (new?) hotdogs could've been a little crispier for a NJ ripper, but still really good. The take special instructions so I'm sure if you ask they'll do it. Solid staff and management. Great music and roomy with spots to sit and chill and talk, super welcoming, though I usually do takeout as I live just a town over.

Located on Ringwood Ave. in Haskell, Kitchen and Beer Bar prominently stands amongst its nearby…read moresurroundings in the downtown section of Wanaque (Haskell and Wanaque are basically the same town, it's a very odd history). With warmer days expected now that spring is in full swing, Kitchen and Beer Bar has outdoor seating as an option for its guests. Inside dining is on the smaller side, so it's in your best interest to beat the crowds on busy nights. I have eaten here a handful of times over the last two years or so and have nothing but positive things to say. The food is always hot and fresh (even with takeout). The whole staff is very nice and helpful upon your arrival. And for any sports fans out there, there are plenty of TVs playing sports games around the room, giving you another reliable option if you were looking to lounge at a bar for a while and watch some games. I definitely recommend this restaurant/bar to anyone looking for a good American dish with sports bar vibes inside.

Let me be honest -- the service here can be a bit hit or miss depending on the day. But the food?…read moreThat more than makes up for it. I genuinely cannot visit without ordering the buffalo garlic parm bone-in wings. It's a commitment at this point. The flavor combination sounds like it shouldn't work, but trust me -- it absolutely does. Crispy, saucy, and completely addictive. They're the reason I keep coming back. Beyond the wings, the specials are always worth checking out. They rotate regularly and never feel like an afterthought -- each one is something different and genuinely tasty, which keeps every visit feeling fresh. The outdoor seating area is a nice bonus too, with a decent amount of space to spread out and enjoy your meal al fresco. If you can catch them on a good service day, this place really hits. Either way, the food alone is worth the trip.

The place could use a little more attention to cleanliness, as it always seems a bit on the dirty side. One definite plus is the tons of TVs they have, which makes it a decent spot to catch a sporting event. Not a bad place by any means, just not somewhere I'd go out of my way for. If you're in the area and looking for a spot to watch a game, it gets the job done.

Atmosphere felt airy and light with all the space and massive televisions. We also had wings and they were great too. However, I ordered takeout from here twice. One occasion I ordered ribs and on another occasion I ordered wings. I was expecting the same level of quality and was sadly mistaken. How can takeout and dine in be so drastically different. The ribs were horrible. Very fatty and seemed like they were lazily done. Wings were the same as if takeout is from a separate batch of food. Presentation and freshness appear to only apply for folks that dine in. Will never order from there again and I'm unwilling to dine in due to my takeout experience.

Walked in the place to pick up an order we'd called in. No one looked at me or said "Hello" or…read moregave me the finger or anything. It was strange. I stood by the counter and no one looked at me. Finally one of the kids asked me if he could help me. Picked up my meatball parm and went home. Paid two extra dollars for garlic bread, and two extra dollars for extra cheese. I do not believe there was extra cheese, and for two dollars, I should have NO doubts there was extra cheese. There wasn't really even enough cheese on it for there to have been a regular parmesan sandwich. So that 13 dollar sandwich became a 17 dollar sandwich. I do not think that was a good deal. And I do not believe that it was served on garlic bread. I've had lots of garlic bread, and I can always tell it's garlic bread, mostly because it tastes like garlic. I actually forgot we ordered it on garlic bread until my last bite, which was all bread, and I noticed the distinct lack of garlic. Also missing were some meatballs. There were perhaps four or maybe five small meatballs on this 10 inch roll. It was very sparse. The sauce was good. Overall, not very impressed with this place. It was a poor first impression. I suggest training the people who work there to greet customers as soon as they walk in. Just have someone yell "Hello, we'll be right with you!". Or give a smile and a nod toward the counter. or SOMETHING. I know margins are slim at a restaurant, but maybe put an extra meatball in the sandwich, and some extra cheese on if you're going to charge two dollars for extra cheese. Don't think I'll be going back.

Solid flavor, good structure, no sad, floppy regrets. Once I try it hot, I might have to upgrade this review because I can already tell it's heading there. Service was straight to the point. Pizza guy had me in and out, no small talk, no life story, just pizza. Some people want a full Broadway performance with their slice... I'm here for the food, not the monologue. Didn't explore past the showcase, but from the front everything looked clean, organized, and no red flags flying. Simple spot, doing what it's supposed to do. Cold today. Hot next time. Either way, it's already heating up.
