Whenever I find myself in Union County, more often than not you will find me at Paragon Tap + Table! I called in for a big party, and they did an excellent job with the table-setting & location. Secondly, the food: Their apps are absolute winners. Our table got the Bavarian Soft Pretzel ($12) and the 12-piece wings ($22). Both came out hot and full-of-flavor! Both were excellent with a cold beer. For my main, I actually got a special which was not on their main menu. It was a Fajita Burger served with (you guessed it...) fajita fries. I added jalapenos for an extra kick. It was very good, but the buns are quite thick, so I actually just ate it with the bottom bun intact. The burger patty itself is quite thick which I enjoyed in this current smash-burger phase our world is currently in. Don't sleep on a pub burger. For dessert, it was one of our friends birthday, and as you can see --- they decorated it nicely! Not "they", sorry, Sara - our waitress - did! She was such an awesome server, and communicated very well. Awesome experience + awesome setting + awesome food! Thanks Paragon for doing what you do! read more

Visited some friends recently who took us to eat dinner at Paragon Tap & Grill. Before going, they claimed Paragon was a great place to get food. From the outside, it didn't look like anything special or a place to rave about but I quickly learned why it was all the talk with them. Since it was a Saturday night, they had a nice crowd and the place itself had a feel of both a sports bar and a brew pub. The one side was more of a sports bar type of feel (or setup) and the other half had more of a brew pub type of feel. After looking at the menu, I decided to go with the healthier choice so I ordered the Drunken Parm Sandwich. I wish I took a picture of the sandwich when it came out because it looked very good and like it was made fresh. Almost immediately, the server came over to me to let me know that they made me real chicken rather than the vegetarian chicken and said she would take it back for the vegetarian chicken. I opted to keep it since I knew there was a chance it would probably get thrown out. I took one bite of the sandwich and I have to say, it was one of the BEST chicken parm sandwiches I've ever had. It was piping hot and tasted fresh. From the chicken, to the sauce, to the bun, it all tasted fresh and practically melted in my mouth. It was a little on the salty side but aside from that, it was made to perfection. To top the night, as we were paying the bill, our server Maya (who was very friendly and tentative during our visit) handed me a take out container with the veggie chicken parm sandwich in it AND the general manager Greg came over to me to apologize for the mistake and said the veggie chicken parm was on the house. It's very rare for me that this happens. I wish I lived closer to Paragon so I can go back more often but believe me, I'll be back there for drinks and dinner next time I'm in the area. I highly recommend going there. Their service, food, and drinks will not disappoint. read more

One of my favorite spots to eat, both for dining and just cocktails. The restaurant is divided into two rooms, I prefer the bar side which also offers high top booths. But the other side is nice, and personal. Drinks are top notch, literally anything on the cocktail list is fire. Food is too good, the spicy duck quesadilla is insane, the tuna tartar is fabulous, short rib grilled cheese is alway a go to, and get the crispy Brussels sprouts for sure. Cherry on top: they have HAPPY HOUR ! read more

Never been here but decided to come out of curiosity. Venue is spacious and provides a nice bar area and family style seating. Also there was a private room available too. We ordered a few things for the evening Brisket Fries - delicious smoke flavor on the thinly sliced cuts of meat over top cheese fries. SO DAMN DELICIOUS! Nacho - I don't think I gave this a fair chance because the brisket fries were good and hearty lol. But the nachos offered a nice light crunch texture which is needed. Wings - ordered 12 wings with split sauce. Whiskey Chipotle & Nashville Hot Dry Rub. Absolutely delicious perfect coating of sauce and the seasoning does not overpower anything. **Also I always give big props when restaurants give regular sized wings and not those smaller pieces. ** Surf And Turf Tacos- also very delicious and came with side of rice. Perfectly balanced and they didn't just fall apart. Beer Flight- I don't recall all of the names but they were great especially that seasonal beer that had warm notes of spice. Our hostess Zizi was also great and attentive. So provide amazing services and definitely made me want to come back to try other options I'm definitely looking forward to the duck quesadilla with that ghost pepper cheese!!! read more

A creative gastropub tucked at the back of a strip mall with ample parking - very close to the Garden State Parkway. Nice bar area with high top seating, next to a more intimate dining room area. Excellent appetizers (wings and Buffalo chicken dip our favorites), great sandwiches and entrees. Wide variety of craft beers, huge selection of spirits and creative cocktails. Service is always fast and friendly. They often have live music, which was the case on the Friday we were there. They have brunch (very good) and in warmer weather they have dog happy hour outside. read more

Good food, good service, decent prices. The paragon is not located in the most convenient place but it is for sure a semi hidden gem. I love a place with a happy hour and the menu does not disappoint. the food was good, the drinks were good and best of all they have outside dining! Happy hour and outside dining automatically get you an extra star. The service was good, we were checked on regularly and everyone was very friendly. This could easily become a regular hangout spot after work. read more

Paragon was a convenient meeting point for a Sunday brunch. Decor is simple and modern. We were seated immediately and had a friendly server throughout our meal. We had a Caesar salad and their chicken and beef tacos. They were tasty and well presented. Overall a good spot with a varied menu. read more

Paragon is a go-to when I'm in the mood for flavorful craft beer--there's always something new to try, which keeps it fun. The buffalo chicken dip is a must--light, whipped, and dangerously easy to keep eating. Entree portions are generous, so definitely share if you're just snacking. Lots of TVs in the bar area too, so it's a solid spot to catch a game with friends and a cold beer in hand. Laid-back vibes, great beer, and that dip alone is worth the visit! read more

Paragon is a little gem located near a Target of all places. Didn't walk in with much expectations but everything from service to food was top notch. Filet was delicious and cooked perfectly. The wings were very good. Wasn't overly sauced, which was perfect. There are servers who are professional and kind. Then there was our server who made you feel like family. read more

Went to Paragon Tap & Table for my birthday dinner. We requested a table outside and was asked if we wanted to sit at the only table available, right next to the live music. We really appreciated being asked. We opted for inside table. Service was quick. Our waitress was friendly and when asked, provided her favorite menu suggestions. We had the calamari appetizer, surf and turf taco (? - it was 2 tacos), pan seared chicken and shrimp, and an oatmeal cookie dessert with vanilla creme. Calamari was ok; a bit greasy. Pan seared dinner was tasty. Comes with Brussel sprouts which were shredded into the dish, not whole or half pieces. For the tacos, I had a choice of flour or corn, which was very nice. Came with rice and beans, which were flavorful, but barely warm. Dessert was nicely presented, yet the vanilla 'creme' was a wad of icing and the garnish of three tiny cookies which tasted stale. When our waitress checked on us and we advised of the rice, she said, "I'll tell the kitchen", but did not offer to heat up or replace. When the manager came by before dessert, we advised on the positives and about the rice. He apologized and said, "Wait right here. I have something for you guys." Then he never came back. For a $100 meal (including 1 drink), I would have liked a better experience. read more

After a little time of not visiting, we came back tonight for a great dinner. There's a new manager (used to be bartender) and unfortunately I didn't get his name. He is a fantastic addition to the restaurant, extremely knowledgeable about the draft beers and menu. He was so quick to offer everyone at the table a type of beer they were interested in, and bring as many samples that were needed for anyone who had questions. (The beer samples were extremely accurate to every persons preferences.) The food was amazing, but the manager made the dining experience extra amazing! read more

PROs- IPA varieties, ambience , service CONs - location First time .. I have passed by this place so many times and didn't know there was a Bar in this locality.. location wise , it's too much inside , from the road and we hardly can see this shop.. I should say it's a "Hidden gem".. fantastic spot .. lots of parking available and lots of seats inside to dine-in. Price was good. They had so many IPAs on tap. I was amazed with the selections.. they give u beers to taste , so u can pick the correct one . Loved their Equilibrium hazy IPA. Great service . Also ordered empanadas : they were ok .. service was superb . Ambience is awesome . Loved the place . read more

Our party of 3 came towards the end of happy hour on a Friday. The bar was full so we took a high top across from the bar. Fortunately the staff allowed us to order happy hour food even though we weren't at the bar. For apps, we got the Parmesan truffle fries and the shrimp bao buns. I could've done without the shrimp bao buns, as they lacked flavor and had one shrimp in each bun, but I loved the Parmesan truffle fries! They paired well with the aioli. I took a chance on the tofu tacos and was surprised that they were pretty good! Overall, good experience, quick service, and a wide variety of foods to chose from. I'd love to come back and try some of their other food options! read more

We've been here just over a dozen times. Yes, it is a hidden gem behind the Marshall's. Great beer selection of local breweries and really good food options. On this visit we had the Truffle & Parm Fries, Steak Wedge Salad ($20) & Santa Fe Chicken Salad ($18), as well as a beer flight. The staff are really helpful in deciding what types of beers would match your tastes. Both waitresses we had tonight were excellent. Bathrooms are very clean as well. The only thing I would change is to label the beers on the beer flight (as other establishments do) because sometimes you have a really good beer, but you can't remember which one it was and maybe to turn off the music in the background when it's really busy because it can get really loud in there and hard to have a conversation with anyone else at your table. read more

Almost forgot to write this review. Went to Paragon by myself for lunch. Only ordered appetizers. The interior is your typical bar. It's a large two sided venue, with outdoor seating, live bands on certain days, & is in a large shopping complex, so plenty of free parking. My server was polite, & quick with taking my order. Her lack of attention to a specific detail I wasn't too fond of, but I actually opted not to mention it. I ordered the Street Corn Dip, Truffle & Parm Fries, & Bavarian Soft Pretzel. I enjoyed the dip A LOT, & the Fries were great too. The pretzel, which is actually (3) sticks, I just didn't care for. Not a big deal, but in spite of the fact that I ate 1/2 of only 1, my server never acknowledged it & didn't offer to take it off of my bill. I could have said something, but sometimes I just like to observe & give a true review. This was such a time. The busy level was low, so can't use that as an excuse. Still, a nice Woman, just missed that "gimme" of an adjustment. Anyway, I'd still go back.....just not for the pretzel. I also had a seasonal Asbury Park beer. Grades: Street Corn Dip: A++ Truffle & Parm Fries: A+ Bavarian Soft Pretzel: C- Asbury Park Fest Beer: B read more

We were with a party of eight for my daughter We sat outside and listened to a guitar player in the background. I had the best hamburger ever. It was juicy and delicious. I normally add ketchup but not then. The fries were also good. I enjoyed this so much I asked the chef to come over and he did. Great dinner and evening read more

I made reservations for a Saturday night for six people and told them we were celebrating a birthday. We all arrived on schedule at 6PM. We have all been there before and always loved the food, especially their wings. This visit was different due to the waitress Erin. She rushed us from the very beginning. She specifically told us she could not wait on us much longer because she needed to go. This was .ore than one hour before the dining room closes! IF YOU GO TO PARAGON TAP & TABLE AVOID WAITRESS ERIN!!!! SHE WILL RUSH YOU! read more

It was our first time here, but it won't be our last! Not only do the ly have dog friendly seating, but an actual doggy menu with appetizers and dessert! $5 for a barkcuterie app and $5 for hot chicken. Our puppy licked the plates clean. We humans ordered the calamari for an app, and were blown away. Its rings only and doesn't come with the Boeing marinara, but rather a lemon garlic aioli type of sauce that made it even better. My lief and turf tacos were so incredible I lost track of where I was. My hubby got the turkey burger and said it was above "good", which trust me is a compliment. We ordered the peanut butter explosion for dessert and enjoyed it with the live music on the patio. I could not believe the dessert was gluten free! And not just "close enough" gluten free, but freaking amazing gluten free or not! Overall this place was well worth the visit and I cant wait to go back to try more things on the menu. read more

Went for a sip and paint. Service was good atmosphere was good. Had 2 Medusa Laser Cat IpA and truffle fries.

Food was great , the bartenders let us sample their seasonal beers before deciding which to get. Will be back soon!

WOW! Why have I not come back here for 7 years? It was again....excellent. We made reservations for a Saturday night and they were honored on time. We began again with the fried calamari which was again superbly seasoned, served hot and fresh, and very tasty. Portion was generous. My wife again ordered the Turkey burger with a side salad and was very pleased. I ordered the maple bourbon glazed salmon which came with Jasmine rice and topped with Brussel sprouts and small pieces of sweet potato. It was excellent. My wife and I both sent back clean plates. We had no room for dessert. I did not look at previous review before I went so I had no idea we had ordered some of the same items. The service was excellent and friendly. The prices were very reasonable and I would say cheaper than other establishments for what we ate. There is a huge parking lot so there is no need to worry about parking. I don't think it will be 7 years before our next visit. read more

I love looking at a menu and carefully deciding what I want to eat and spend my money on just for the kitchen to put together whatever they want. I guess they ran out of the correct bread for this sandwich and the solution was just not say anything and just serve whatever. Absolutely awful if you didn't have all ingredients would've been nice to know so I could've just ordered something else. Also had me wait forever, would've been a great time to tell me about my food before I got home. read more

Went today. Got tacos and margaritas. Tacos should not be on the menu if the steak is going to be over cooked and the fish is undercooked. Pork taco was good. Margaritas were so weak; I got three and not even a lil buzz. Service was good but bc they're changing shifts they ask way too many times if you wanna pack up. Also something I said to the server was repeated by a diff server on my way out. It was something silly but it was odd. read more

Do not be deceived by the fact that this place is in a mini-mall! Yum!!! Now that I have a 4 year old, it's a struggle to find a place that has good kids food and good adult food. This place has it all! We'll have to come back and try other items in their extensive menu. Here's what we got: Pretzel - good 3 pretzel sticks. The cheese sauce is delicious. Other places you'll get a little cup. This is a pretty generous dish so you won't run out of cheese. Kids sliders and fries - the fries have a good coating, the burger is juicy, the buns are toasty Hawaiian roll taste. (Also has all the other typical kid options) Steak and ravioli - omg if you like mushrooms this is the dish for you! The ravioli were stuffed with mushrooms. The sauce was perfect. Under the steak was a bed of spinach with roasted red peppers. Very good. The table does not have salt and pepper...you don't need it. Everything is well seasoned. Filet - comes with rosemary potatoes and veggies. My husband got this. He was happy. I was too busy with my food to evaluate his but he liked it. Dessert - they bring out a tray. You pick the item. We opted for the chocolate mousse/dirt cup option. The other options were various cakes. The dirt cup was goooood. Light ----as in fluffy---good texture of crumbled cookie. It's a pretty big difference place and it was packed. Lots of big groups and families dining out. Adult groups and various families with kids. Will definitely come again. They've got a big menu we have to work through. read more

So good. They were definitely short handed but our waitress was great. Food was good. Beer selection has been better but plenty of choices.

An all time favorite of ours. The food is delicious and inspired. The atmosphere is lively especially on nights where they he live music. The service is always perfect. And the beer selections terrific. Even the children's menu is above expectations. Looking forward to returning again soon. read more

went for a Friday night drinks and appetizer kinda outing. Nice place...there was live music. Food and Drinks both are really good! We tried their cocktails -- NUTTY OAK (BARREL POUR) and SCOTLAND SMASH. Good strong drinks but a little on a sweeter side for our taste. Nonetheless loved the combination of pear and walnut liqueur in my drink! Food was good....nothing worth raving about. But definitely tasty and fresh. We ordered truffle fries, roasted asparagus, and margherita flatbread. Big shout out to Robin & Bill - 5 stars for them. Robin was our wait staff. She was helpful and attentive without being intrusive :) When i asked for the drink suggestion she worked with the bar tender - Bill - to suggest something. Later came back to check on how I liked the suggestion, conveyed it to Bill. And Bill stopped by to talk to us about it. Paragon-owners, if you are reading this-- these are keepers! Many a times people come to restaurant not for just for the food, but to feel welcomed. You have good staff in two of these folks.W read more

Work close by so decided to come in an try the place and it was a great experience, decided to try the short ribs dinner which was great and my husband had one of the best beers he ever had which made me happy because he is not a beer drinker ! We had a couple appetizers which didn't disappoint and the food came out at a reasonable time. A little pricey in my opinion but won't stop us from coming back to try other things on the menu ! read more

This was a gastropub with lots of food items to choose from. There was a small bar inside and a patio outside with a good amount of seating. The menu had a number of appealing options and the service was friendly and accommodating given some of our requests. I just had the wings ($14) with their voodoo sauce. The voodoo sauce consisted of honey, sriracha, and soy. There were only about 8 wings, so the price was a little much. The voodoo sauce was great. I was a little concerned this would be too sweet, but that was not the case at all. All 3 blended nicely together and the chicken was of good quality. I also tried the mini ahi taco which consisted of avocado, cucumber, and spicy mayo. These were extremely small, which was my only complaint. I also tried their Oreo mousse and no complaints there. Will I go back? Yes. read more

Paragon Tap & Table got it RIGHT!! From the outside set up, to the service, to the food- IT'S ALL GOOD! We went on a Saturday evening around 6:30pm and the outside seating area was almost full. The hostess asked if we had a reservation and we didn't but we still managed to get a table! I suggest making a reservation because this place gets packed! The menu is full of so much goodness, that it was difficult for us to decide what to order. The waitress suggested the pineapple wings for an app and I'm very glad she did! Those were some of the best chicken wings I've had in a very long time, and I've had LOTS of wings in my life, LOL! Everything we ordered was delicious and reasonably priced. They're kid friendly! The service was GREAT! They had a live band playing which we enjoyed! There's lots of parking! read more

I just wanted to take a moment to rave a little about my new favorite place: Paragon Tap and Table. Now that my family has been there a few times, I can tell you without hesitation that the food, the drinks, the atmosphere and the staff have been consistently AWESOME! My husband and son are obsessed with the short ribs and burgers, but I love to try different things every time I go, and so far: I haven't found a thing that I wouldn't order again. The Portobello Quesadilla is amazing, "Enough Said" is one of my favorites, Mussels & Frites...Not gonna lie: I get a bunch of starters "for the table," lol...because I can never decide on just one. Very cool beer selections, creative cocktails...If we're even remotely near Paragon, my family knows the odds are good that we'll be stopping in. Staff is amazing, attentive and so welcoming. If you haven't tried it: Treat yourself! read more
