This review deserves no stars at all. Me & my friend had the most disgusting experience ever. We waited over an hour for food. We sat outside and it wasn't busy when we originally got there. So we thought things should go smooth. We were the only black people there and people who came after us got there food before us. We ordered a salad and hamburger? Yet everyone by us got their food-- ham burgers and salads. The same things we ordered but no one ever came to bring our food. Our waiter came to us twice the whole night. Everyone was walking pass us like we didn't exist at all and servicing other tables around us including our waiter. I finally had enough and asked for the manager. Spoke to some guy and told him we do not want the food anymore. This is unacceptable! He tries to apologize and say we're sorry and your food is coming??? Where was the food an hour ago?? No one cared an hour ago but now when I speak up it's we will have your food? And then had the nerve to charge us for drinks & appetizers? What kind of establishment does that? A random couple comes to us and say you guys are the only ones with no food why is that? Because I guess the 2 black people here weren't important as the other customers. This couple was actually nice and advocated for us and demanded we speak to a manager & not pay for anything. Because if it was them they wouldn't have paid for anything at all. I've never in my life have experienced this kind of treatment at a restaurant. Everyone was being serviced and catered to but we was the only ones not being helped? Yeah okay... I don't think they care to service people of color. It's actually sad.. this is simply why I do not go to local restaurants. I would of never got treated like that at an upscale restaurant... Mastros, STK steakhouse etc. would never! The treatment was obvious and they clearly didn't care until we spoke up. Never again! And the food wasn't even hot when they decided to give it to us for free lmao. We opened it in the car and the food wasn't even hot??? So where was the food?? My salad was filled with soggy lettuces! It didn't come out the oven. Save your coins not worth it. read more

Went here on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy. Was greeted and sat immediately - so glad it wasn't long considering it was just my girlfriend and I. I got the BBQ oink & moo - succulent and juicy - while my girlfriend got the fish tacos - 'out of this world' according to her. For drinks I had the port brewing wipeout ipa and she had the watermelon mojito - which was surprisingly very refreshing (I'm not a mojito kind of guy). Our server - I apologize I forgot her name - was absolutely fantastic and funny. The only thing that did not go so well with me was the 'manager'. Well, she introduced herself as the manager and we both saw her floating around talking to tables. When she came around she asked how everything was which we responded that everything was great. What got me a little uneasy was that she talked about us telling her about "any bumps we may have on the road" and to "report to her" if anything was wrong. Don't get me wrong, it's great if a manager touches base with their tables, but not make it sound as if we were being served by military staff. Also, not a professional look for a manager if you're wearing checkered pants, a white shirt most people can see through, and what really got me was the chuck taylors. I'm sorry, if you're a manager, dress like a manager would. Other than that, we both had dessert. I had the chocolate mousse and my girlfriend had the peanut butter brownie. Hint to everyone: the dessert is too good to share, get your own! I promise you wont regret it. With that, I ended with a Not Your Father's Root Beer (on tap!!) and she had a chocolate manhattan. Sounds like a lot of sugar but we both love our sweets. Overall, I give this place a 4/5. Really great place if you want great food, great beer, great dessert, and fantastic service. I would push to 5 stars but that manager just seemed pushy to me. Also! Great thing I learned is that the small room up front can hold up to 30 people which sounds fantastic for events! Will I be back? Most definitely. read more

5 stars for the food, 1 star for service and one big mess up. We came in for the brunch. My 2 daughters and I decided to do the buffet and everything was fantastic. Our server was eh, she seemed more interested in talking to her friend than taking away the extra plates that piled up in a corner of the table. Also, we paid for unlimited bloody marys and mimosas and each time we reordered we had to ask where it was. The buffet had every breakfast food you would ever want - and if you didnt want that, there were more filling items. A la carte was also available. We noticed that the staff was taking down everything and we were very upset that our server did not let us know they were doing so. Also noticed that our server was off again to the side talking to her friend than helping out the rest of the staff - which is very rude. One big thing is that my daughter is very allergic to peanuts. Our server failed to mention to us what dessers contained peanut in them. My daughter had one of the mousse cups, we were unsure of what flavor is what, she decided to pick one out of all of them. She had one bite, realized it was peanut butter mousse and pushed it aside. We tried flagging down our waitress but she was nowhere to be found. I kept an eye on my daughter and she seemed to be fine. Finally our waitress came back and we requested for the check, paid, and left. Later on, my daughter became violently ill. I knew it was due to the peanut butter mousse. If I tell you someone has an allergy always keep it in mind and let them know what items in your brunch or menu contains peanuts! Thank god my daughter recovered after half an hour. Would I be back? Maybe. After this experience it would make me wonder if every server doesnt care about allergies. Hopefully they train that server better. read more

Paragon Tap and Table in Clark, NJ, exceeded all expectations! We were a party of 14 and dined there last Sunday. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere. The attention to detail in the decor created a cozy yet upscale ambiance, perfect for any occasion. Now, let's talk about the food. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a delight to the senses. The menu offers a diverse selection, catering to various tastes and dietary preferences. Several of us were vegetarian/vegans and that was plenty to choose from. The drink selection is equally impressive, with a wide range of craft beers, cocktails, mocktaila, and wines to complement your meal perfectly. The knowledgeable staff was on hand to offer recommendations, ensuring we found the perfect pairing for each dish. What truly sets Paragon Tap and Table apart is the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their attention to detail and genuine care for their guests truly shine through. Whether you're looking for a casual meal with friends or a special night out, Paragon Tap and Table is the place to be. I can not recommend it highly enough and can not wait to return for another memorable dining experience! read more

Food was once excellent.. for me, it's now about the worst value for your dollar in town. I don't know if its new ownership or what, but the place just doesn't run the way it used to. The food is drastically overpriced and confused as far as concept. From what I can tell, they still offer happy hour sometimes, but the deals are about as bad as I've seen and the menu is unintelligible. After trying 4 of their new apps, I won't be experimenting with them again. My wife and kids were here with me this week and I came with a co-worker a few weeks ago for a few beers. Had drastically different experiences. My wife's appetizer came out before mine by 15 minutes! Then, when our entrees were ready (after 50 minutes-- never seen a more bizarre and disorganized system for delivering food) we only got 3 out of 4 meals! It was a beyond terrible experience. With my buddy, I had a few great beers and the bartender was super knowledgable about beer and hysterical. One of the only bright spots. Look for the tall guy with a beard. It's still a great place to watch a game and has the best craft brews around, but now it feels more like an Applebees or Chilis now with mostly young kids who don't know anything about what their serving. Disappointing that the place has lost most of its identity, but its still one of the better places around to get a good beer. read more

As my girlfriend and I arrived we were given the option of indoor or outdoor seating. We chose outdoor, but quickly realized that the space was an issue, we were seated directly next to another family even though there were plenty of other tables available, it felt like we were participating in their dinner with them. The menu had some nice sounding food, I went for the prime rib and I will say for a $43 meal it felt more like a stouffers tv dinner. It comes out on a cutting board style tray. The veggies tasted frozen and the Rosemary Au jus felt like it coated the back of your throat with additional fat, the meal desperately needs the horseradish sauce as it's saving grace to have a break from all the oil and fat and it was just ok. My girlfriend got fish tacos fried, it came with rice and beans, the fish tacos were fine but the rice was undercooked and felt like biting into plastic. If you are looking for a fine dining experience this isn't the place, but the bar food looks a lot more appealing, maybe I should have gone with the wings or a burger. The waitress was very nice and the service was ok. read more

Two weeks ago we had hosted a Bridal shower for my daughter on the outside patio. I would like to give a huge thanks to the managers Edward, Mike and Ernie for providing the most memorable experience for my daughter and guests! Management and staff provided the most amazing service and etiquette through this difficult time. We had a group of 20-25 in a their private party room and patio. Through this tough time, all staff and guests took amazing safety measures to ensure that our group and all others were safe at all times! The party packages provided an amazing experience for us all. Their broad range of draft beers and homemade cocktails seemed like something from a story book. Paragon's had gained a few more life long guests. Thank you Paragon's staff and management, we cant wait to come back soon!!!!! read more

This place is awesome! One of my friends goes to trivia here regularly and said it was a lot of fun so I tagged along this week. The trivia itself is a little slow moving, but it's only because the place is literally stuffed with people. I was a little concerned when I saw that there was only one bartender, but he was unbelievable. He appeared to be making drinks for the whole restaurant while thoroughly engaging pretty much every guest at the bar. He asked us what kind of flavors we liked and selected a perfect beer for each person. We had all eaten dinner already, but the bartender said he loves the food and highly recommended that we stop back soon because there is a new menu coming out and he made a few of the dishes sound mouth-watering. Will be back! read more

Had my son and future daughter-in-law's wedding shower on Sat. March 23, 2019. Michelle S. and Lisa were a delight to work with even though we changed our minds once or twice on how we wanted tables arranged and decorations placed. These gals went out of their way to make the day special for us. Food and beverage service was superb as well. The food was tasty and well prepared. Drink prices seemed a little steep to me, but I'm from the South where things are different cheaper. I think everything is high priced in New Jersey. I highly recommend Paragon Tap & Table to anyone looking to book a private party. Be sure to ask for Michelle S. and Lisa. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is a great place to grab some good food and great craft beers. The staff is very attentive and provide a great service. They have a really good beer selection and they update it pretty often which is great. If you are not sure what to drink just ask for Dom or Abbie they are extremely helpful and courteous staff that will make your beer selection and tasting a great one. read more

My husband and i really wanted Italian but our favorite spot was closed due to a private party. I decided to use YELP to help me find somewhere to eat that i wouldn't be disappointed and i SCORED with Paragon Tap & Table.. friendly, profession and courteous staff made dining there an awesome experience.. AND the food was delicious.. you will not be disappointed read more

NOPE NOPE NOPEEEE! they will get your reviews wiped if you're too honest! This place treated us like crap and we still went back giving them the benefit of the doubt because it was a busy sunday and everyone seemed stressed. My original post was deleted because I mentioned how racist everything was!! I will NEVER return!!! EVER!!! read more

Paragon is our favorite place ! Rahual and Mike are the best! Rahual checks in with everyone to make sure they're having a good time and Mike makes the best drinks and keeps you entertained. Everyone is so friendly here they make you feel like they're your friends you've known your whole life , and the food/drinks are great! read more

If you need to accommodate a large group for office party add them to your list. Wide variety of entrees to choose from. I had the Short rib pasta which was tender and the pasta was great. Really enjoyed my sangria! No room for dessert but it looked good at table next to us. Will come back again. read more

Excellent Food! So creative and delicious. Chef Eric really knows flavor! Had a turkey burger with apple onion marmalade and garlic aioli....was out of this world!!! Would recommend to everyone! Also was able to fill growlers!! Staff was super helpful and let me take samples before choosing. read more

My husband and I have been here so many times and have never left disappointed. They have and amazing duck grilled cheese sandwich which I have enjoyed more than once. My husband loves their vast choices of craft beers. Mixed drinks are prety standard but always fresh tasting. Very cool place. read more

Gives upscale feel for moderate prices. I had the spare rib grilled cheese. It was a bit chewy and a little salty. I went with others and they loved their food so it may just be that specific dish. The dessert is well presented and delicious. Great portions. Oh their truffle fries are AMAZING read more

Five stars isn't enough! Just got back from tap and table and had a wonderful experience. Rahul, our waiter was awesome. Courteous, informed, and very helpful. The food was outstanding as well as the bloody marys. I highly recommend this place . I would definitely go back again read more

Not a huge fan. I've been here maybe 4 times. All with different people who wanted to try it. It seems to be going a bit down hill... The only thing I really like is the buffalo dip. Everything else is just ok. Especially the desserts are very disappointing. read more
