Plentiful food with a good variety. The staff were quick and super friendly. This is clearly a favorite of locals as the place was full! Despite this we got a seat quickly and the food came out fast. Surprised by how painless the bill was as well. If we are ever back in the area, we are definitely stopping in again. read more

The service was a bit slow but the staff were very friendly. There is plenty of seating. The food was just okay. Most things were under seasoned but the tuna was cooked perfectly and the portions are a good size. read more

Ollie Gators Pub - Tuna Bowl - Pubs Near Me - Berlin, New Jersey

We were looking for a place to eat while in the area and decided on Ollie Gators. Attentive and friendly service . My husband loved his chicken cheese steak and the French fries were delicious. My garden salad was a nice size and had lots of olives the way I like. I was given a home made veggie burger to take home and try. Will get back to you! Update: Veggie burger was really good, a pleasant change from the typical black bean burger many places have. read more

Came here on a weekend afternoon which wasn't too busy inside which surprised us because outside it looks like a small hole in the wall establishment. Greeted at the door and seated right away with a bag of popcorn. Nice touch. Waitress brought over waters and was very kind with taking our order. Music is playing and the wrap around bar was pretty full. Seated about 15-20 people I would say and there's TVs all around to watch anything you'd like. Started out with the Santa Fe Rolls which were very crisp and hot out the kitchen. Packed with chicken and dippings to enjoy. The Nashville Chicken Sandwich was very tasty as well. Didn't taste like "Nashville" hot but just regular spicy hot, if you get what I mean. Bread was toasted on the inside but soft on the out. Crispy chicken and cooked perfectly. Blue cheese on the side makes the sandwich that much better. The Reuben was stacked high with corned beef and it was great. The chips on the side could have been in the fryer for a few more minutes to crisp up. It a filling dish for sure and we both left happy. read more

Great menu, lots of affordable choices made it tough to narrow down my entree! Guess I'll have to come back soon. Service was relaxed and friendly. Our server was thoughtful and polite. We came for lunch and need to try out dinner! read more

We ordered a catered package for a family get -together of 10 (4 teens/6 adults) chicken tenders ( perfect), roast beef with gravy- ( our favorite), pasta with cheese stuffing and Caesar salad - would have liked a little more dressing). It was generous and we had enough to serve with lunch the next day. The order was complete,(a rarity in some places) nicely packed, and ready on time. One thing I would have liked was heat up instructions, but that's not a deal breaker as you can call for read more

Top Notch Buffalo Wings!! Stopped in with my girlfriend after shopping locally on a Wednesday night. We've both been to Ollie Gator's before but it's been years, and we've both been meaning to get back. It was a lot more crowded that I expected it to be at 8pm on a Wednesday but that's a great sign. Tables were filled and we got the last two available bar seats. It seemed like there were lots of locals and the people we talked to were regulars who were very nice and gave us some great recommendations. We stuck to basics with our drinks. Yuengling drafts and Surfside iced teas. My beer tasted like you'd expect a draft beer to taste so no complaints there. We ordered 4 different items to split. Loaded fries, wings, chicken quesadillas, and pazotti bites. All the food was fantastic, especially for bar food. Their fries are hand cut, thin, and are so much better than frozen fries from a bag. We ordered the chicken quesadilla after seeing one come out of the kitchen. Crispy, cheesy, with big pieces of cubed chicken and it didn't disappoint. We initially ordered our wings with traditional Buffalo sauce but the people next to us told us to switch to their "Rondo" sauce which is described as "Sweet Heat" on the menu. Fantastic recommendation as this was one of the best wing sauces we've had. The wings were meaty and bigger than I typically prefer but they were cooked perfectly to my liking; crispy, easy to rip off the bone, moist and not dried out. These wings quickly climbed my list of some of my favorite wings in South Jersey. The pazotti bites were also enjoyable and reminded me of the pazotti balls I used to get at my college bar that everyone loved. I can't believe I had overlooked Ollie Gator's for so long. The atmosphere and food were all great for the style of venue, divey, which is exactly what we expected going in. They carried some decent local craft beers on tap which is always nice to see. The prices seemed fair, especially for the portion sizes. The bartender on shift held down the bar mostly by herself it seemed even with a full bar and tables. No complaints from me. Experience was great and we will be back. read more

I had the Shrimp tacos today. Three tacos on a soft corn tortilla. Each taco had three large shrimp, battered and tossed in a special sauce. Topped with their house made cabbage slaw. Sour cream and homemade salsa on the side. It was simply goodness in every bite. It's a must try. Well done! Well done Ollie Gators on your shrimp taco! Chef Michael read more

Takes a while to be acknowledged. Waited about 15 minutes or so to even be asked if I was waiting on an order. I felt like saying, "No, watching waiters and waitresses walk around is my favorite pastime!" read more

Fun atmosphere with great staff and drinks. Try the Rondo Wings, you won't be disappointed!

Food is always very good. The menu has some great variety. Wings and chicken tenders are usual selections. Great French onion soup. Tried the stuffed longhots this time, which were excellent. Recently expanded dining area and rest rooms. read more

Ollie Gators Pub - Jambalaya Stuffed Longhots - Pubs Near Me - Berlin, New Jersey

Was there a few days ago. Woman manager had an attitude. Bartender not much better . The two together seemed to be talking bad on customers and employees, which I see as completely unprofessional,and to top it off I saw a mouse scurry across the floor. At that point I had to get up and leave. Disgusting. read more

Had a great meal and service was good as always. Started with the southwestern egg rolls which are always good, wife had the turkey club which was big and very good! I had the jambalaya with chicken which was tasty! A little spice but not over done. We always enjoy ot when we go here. Good quality food for the price! read more

Had a nice meal here. I had Tuna Combo meal and tuna was cooked just right. Hubby had Hot Roast Beef Sandwich also good. Waitress was nice however only gave it 4 Stars because music was too loud. Younger people might like it but sadly we won't be back because we were not able to talk UPDATED REVIEW: 2nd had our yoga group luncheon here. Place was very accommodating and separate checks were appreciated. Very nice staff. We had one of our members 90th b-day party and had good food and good time. Large portions of food but note we brought our own cake although pub's desserts looked good read more

I had this spot bookmarked for just about six months. After returning from a trip to NOLA this past January, I was desperate for some creole cuisine once again. I finally made it here on Friday and can say this: If you'd like some Louisiana-inspired eats, this is a great spot! Disclosure: They unfortunately do not appear to sell gator. Sad. Moving on! It took some circling to find the place. My GPS got confused and took me past the Canals, but it's actually in the little shopping center behind it on Rt. 73. From the outside, it could use a nice upgrade, but once you're inside, it has all the feels you want from a divey, comfortable, lived-in pub. You can either sit by the bar, at a high-top, or in a separate dining room. Since I was with my mom, we chose the dining area. I loved the decor -- all the NOLA signs (sigh!) -- and our server was really friendly. She handled my mom's incessant questions rather well. They offer a bunch of great drink options, but it'd be even cooler if they could contract with Berlin Brewing in the future since it's only a few minutes drive away. For my visit, I chose a summer brew from Double Nickel. They seem to be everywhere these days! My mom chose a moscato. I finished it for her and it was really nice. Perfectly sweet! For my meal, I chose a combo dinner because I am 80, but also because it was an incredible deal. For $11.99, you get a soup or salad, platter, and dessert. I chose the chicken tender platter. It came with five pieces of crispy fried tenderloins that were so tasty. I just wish the honey mustard cup had been a bit larger. My mom had the same problem with her meal. She ordered the Thanksgiving dinner. While she loved it, they only gave her a tiny cup of gravy on the side, so she asked for several extras when it was time to box things up. I also felt like my salad was a standout. It was so colorful and flavorful. Most house salads don't seem to come with olives, but this one had both green and black! That made me so happy. My dessert was also pretty good, but not exceptional. I ordered the "Oreo creme" and had it to go. It was nice to indulge in later on. Ollie Gaters Pub isn't around the corner from me, but I did really enjoy my visit and will likely make a return visit to try more from their expansive, super affordable menu. read more

Diamond in the rough. Love their HAPPY HOUR FOODS AND DRINKS. Waitresses make your day. Enjoy!

Hadn't been there in years. Went one night with friends. Not the place I remember. Seemed dingy and rundown. Also the service was subpar. I'll remember it as it was read more

Eventhough I have lived in this town for almost 20 years, I have never been here before. So we tried it the other night and was pleasantly surprised. Walking it it totally has that dive bar cheers feel, like everyone there knows each other. But there's a dining area behind all that so don't be intimidated. We sat in the dining area. We ordered the crab fries, which have actual lump crab on them. They were really good. I could have easily eaten a bigger portion than what they serve. And then we shared the veggie pretzel bun burger. That was really tasty. Kinda like a patty melt but w a soft pretzel bun. The server was great and twice we got asked by what I'm assuming was a manager, if we were ok or needed anything so that was nice. Gonna have to try and go back soon. UPDATE**** Staff is great.. manager does come around to check on you. I ordered the fish tacos. It was not fish tacos. It was cole slaw tacos. Cold cole slaw tacos with a tiny bit of fish scattered on it. Fishy smelling fish mind you. I complained and it was removed from the bill. But I was still thoroughly disappointed. Especially after being told that they were really good by the server. read more

Great local pub with its usual crowd. Has great food that goes so far beyond regular bar food options. Sometimes we order from here for lunch or dinner at work. Ollie's is different than your regular bar in that it has a lot of seating for diners who come in for dinner whether you want seared sashimi tuna or their famous roast beef sandwiches and gator tails. There is also a lot of seating on the bar side, around the very large bar to the pub height tables. They have trivia that's a lot of fun and happy hour deals. read more

If you're not going to Ollie Gator's, what are you even doing? This place is off the hook when it comes to beer selection, friendly bar tenders and great food. The buttermilk chicken tenders and roast beef sandwiches are very good but if you want a real treat go for the short rib fries with gravy. No better place to eat some lunch and watch a little football on a Sunday. read more

I love this place! The food is fantastic. Standard pub fare with a "Louisiana" twist, but it's done well. The buffalo products (wings, bites, tenders) are great, with a spicy hot sauce and nicely cooked chicken. The chicken tenders are amazing. They're so crispy, thick, and juicy. Apparently hand cut and breaded on location. Onion rings, great, Mozzarella sticks, standard food service sticks but good, Fries are amazing, depending on who your cook is, you might think they're from Five Guys. A very pleasant surprise is the Root Beer on tap. It is some sort of specialty brand. If you like Root Beer, give it a try. Some of the servers call it Birch Beer, I'm not positive which it is, but it's still good. read more

I've lived in the area my entire life and my first visit to Ollie Gators was a couple weeks ago. Not sure why we've never stopped in but I definitely wish we had because I missed many years of good food! We received a bowl of popcorn upon sitting which was great because I skipped lunch that day. It was family night and they had a face painter/balloon animal twister to entertain the kiddos. My daughter requested an odd looking Olaf but she loved it all the same. We were skipping the drinks that evening but took a gander at their drinks menu which has tons of specials. Next time we'll skip family night, get a sitter, and take advantage of the great deals. Their menu is huge with a NOLA twist. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich which was perfectly crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. I do wish it had lettuce, tomato, and/or onion and in that sense the sandwich was was rather plain. Their hand cut fries are amazing and next time I'm going to order the Gator fries which has sweet and spicy cheeses and scallions. Yum! read more

My husband and I visited for our first time a few days ago. The place was clean and our service was good. Their placements are funny! They bring a basket of popcorn to the table it was good. My husband practically inhaled it all. I ordered the hot roast beef sandwich and fries. The fries were excellent! The sandwich was good as well. I appreciated that the meat was actually on the drier side because it kept the roll from getting soggy before I could even start eating. The au jus was great to add to the sandwich as I took each bite. My husband ordered the short rib Mac and cheese and this is unfortunately where they lost a star. I had debated ordering this for myself as well and I'm glad that I didn't. The short rib meat was decent. The Mac and cheese a seemed like it came from a box. It did not seem lIke homemade. It was really disappointing. My husband ate it as it wasn't terrible. It just wasn't particularly great. If we visit again when we are in the area we definitely wouldn't get the Mac and cheese. The service throughout our visit was excellent! read more

We have been here a few times. Food is good and lots to choose from, Beer is cold, People are friendly. Give them a try!

They have a large outside seating area in the parking lot and on their curb which is called "the side piece". I haven't eaten in the "side piece", but pick-up contactless curbside orders every Friday. Another great local business doing everything they can to keep us safe during the pandemic. I love supporting great local businesses like Ollie's! read more

Fun little bar/restaurant. They serve a small bowl of delicious popcorn with everything, whether you're sitting at the bar, or eating at a table. Above average beer selection. Bartender was good, but sitting down at a table to eat, service could have been a lot better. What I really like about this place, is that they guarantee that a manager will check in with you at some point during your visit. And they do just that. Every time I've been there an owner has checked with me to make sure everything was good. I like that personalization, it shows they really care about each customer. I held back from giving 5 stars because of the waitress we had sitting down to eat. She wasn't terrible, I mean, I've had WAY worse, but we had to track her down to order, track her down for refills, and track her down to get the check. Each time, she was laughing with the bartender while we stared for 2 minutes before having to kind of motion her over. Otherwise, I loved it here. read more

Great atmosphere and food is not bad for a "sidepiece". The staff really has a good grip on things with all the changes in dining!! This place is fun and very welcoming. This restaurant - in my opinion - has a better version of "bar food". The menu has not been changed or deleted much since the pandemic, which is a beautiful thing these days. Get over there and enjoy. read more

We've been dining at Ollie Gators for years. It's an informal, neighborhood pub. The menu is varied and tasty, starting with their roast beef sandwiches. I enjoy those with a Louisiana flair. If dessert is your thing, you'll be surprised at the choices. High backed booths are available if you enjoy a little privacy. Not many places are secure enough to tell you to expect a table visit from the manager on duty. A fun touch-- popcorn starts every table meal. A separate dining room from the bar, which tends to be friendly-noisy, makes the place kid friendly. read more
