A no-frills neighborhood bar with a straightforward, unpretentious vibe. Simple decor, standard bar seating, and a casual environment that attracts local workers and nearby residents. Prices are fair and service is usually friendly and attentive. Predominantly local clientele. Mix of after-work professionals and neighborhood regulars. Tends to be low-key and relaxed. Overall the Plank Road Inn is great for casual drinks, sports viewing, and affordable evening unwind. Not a destination bar, but solid for local patrons. read more

Don't fall for the prices that are shown online, they're not accurate, at least for takeout orders. Wings were pretty good, about a 7/10. The burger was not good at all, bad bun, entirely pink on the inside, fries weren't bad but not much flavor, I'd give the burger a 3/10. Wings and burger were like $28 so really not worth it. Seemed like a chill vibe on the inside though if you're just going for a drink at the bar. read more

I recently visited Plank Road Inn and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between casual comfort and a lively bar vibe great for both a relaxed dinner or drinks with friends. The menu has a solid variety, from classic pub fare to more elevated options, and everything I tried was flavorful and well-prepared. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the evening feel effortless. Their drink selection is impressive, with both creative cocktails and a good range of beers on tap. Overall, Plank Road Inn is a solid spot in Secaucus if you're looking for good food, drinks, and a welcoming environment. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Flies, Bad wine and bad food. This is where the local old, overweight white guys go to get drunk and waddle home. Service was great she hustled and we tipped her for it. This place is a dump. We swatted flies the entire time which is just a sign of filth. Cheeseburger came with the cheese melted in the bread not the burger - salt and pepper don't exist here of course. read more

Plank Road Inn - Fridge in the dining/bar area - what's up with that table full of ?? - Sports Bars Near Me - Secaucus, New Jersey

Plank Road Inn is a very special sports bar to me, as I have been going there for over 20 years. Bruce and Brian run a good business that offers pretty decent food selections combined with so many accessible TVs. People come here as a dive bar, but often times can be a family restaurant in the early evening, The regulars here are often nice and their bar food (Frankenstein wings, burgers, fries) are always good. They have daily specials which are often times unique depending on who is the chef at the time. I will always give a shout-out to Oscar however because he is one of the best Italian chefs I've met. It can have its problems if it is overpacked and there is often people who are uninviting that come here at later points in the night, but they should not be considered the standard crowd. Overall, its a nice place for a quick, but cozy dinner and some good sports fun. read more

Dive Bar Went in late Saturday night. The bar was somewhat packed. The dining room in the back was decorated and festive. The waitress was friendly and welcoming. We ordered beer and a couple of sandwiches. Food was good, a very large portion. Price was excellent. Service was wonderful. This is a neighborhood place and everyone was friendly. We plan to come back again. Pretty enjoyable experience, nothing to write home about. Thanks read more

Great little place to go for a drink and a bite to eat. Staff is friendly and does their best even when it is busy. Prices are very fair and the food is good. It may not be fancy but it's got a great vibe and cozy feel! read more

i've been here a couple times already. the place is pretty small but definitely recommend the frankenstein wings!!

The local neighborhood watering hole. Excellent bar food, such as Frankenstein Wings, burgers, etc. Food is wonderful when Oscar is cooking. Drinks are cheap and well-made. They have everything ranging from Bud to mixed drinks to craft beer. Staff is kind and courteous and always welcoming to their regulars. It's dive-y, and that's what makes it great. Great digital jukebox. Back room for dining is a nice touch. Don't judge a book by its cover and check it out. read more

Came to the Plank Road Inn for a burger and beer. Hadn't been here in probably 40 years since I was in high school and the drinking age was 18! Pretty sure I never had one crumb of food then and only drank pitchers of Bud. Well, it still looks pretty much the same as I remember. And, as it turns out, it is now owned by a couple I went to high school with. Anyway, my sister and I both had burgers (mushroom burger for me, sis had a pizza burger) that were decent. The waffle fries were awesome as were the Sweet Potato fries. Good pickles, too. Add in a few local drafts and it made for a pleasant dining experience. Definitely a local hang-out. All the other customers seemed to know each other. The waitress was super friendly and made a fresh pot of coffee for my sister. If I'm in town on a Tuesday, I'll stop in for wings. read more

Plank Road Inn - Sports Bars Near Me - Secaucus, New Jersey

Good for beer & highballs We went to this tavern six years ago by mistake, and it was a total dive-y bar, which we love. At that time, it was some old grizzly guy serving beers and you could have a bag of chips if you were starving. Fast forward to current times, and it's the exact same look/feel, but now there look to be new owners, and they advertise some food. Since we were hungry, we were excited to try some of the wings that were on special. Massive disappointment - thin paper plates to eat off of (not a big deal) but the wings were so greasy, and tasted of dirty fry oil. There was no way they had been cooked fresh, they'd obviously been refried a few times. The wings were not crisp at all and were barely hot. We sent them back and honestly didn't even want to try again, but the bartender very kindly brought us another order. While the wings were hotter and crisper and tasted a bit better, they were still not even mediocre. I guess the place is intended more for beers and sports watching, and I'm the weirdo who expected some decent food. The staff seem nice enough and there were people there enjoying themselves, so it may have just been a fluke with me. I might go back for a drink, but I wouldn't bother with food again. read more

So I decided to bring a blind date here. Yikes. We walk to the front of the place and it's not much to look at and some iron bars on the windows doesn't help. It felt a little seedy. I tell my date let's at least check it out before we run away. Just walk behind me. lol Walk in and see a divey bar with regulars. Okay, we won't get shot, let's sit down. We sit at the bar and mull over what we want to eat. A female patron taps my shoulder to inform me it's wing night. 30 cent wings on Tuesday. I ask my date what type of wings should we get. A man at the end of bar gets my attention and recommends the Frankenstein sauce wings-- a little bit of every sauce listed. I thank him for the recommendation and get a plate of Frankenstein, buffalo and bbq. Frankenstein sauce stole the show. We got 3 more plates of that. By the end of the night, everyone was our friend. Patrons and staff were very nice and friendly. Please note that there is a dart board but no darts. And the dart board is behind a table so no one better be eating there. Solid dive for great wings. read more

First time in. We sat at the bar for the full experience of this sports bar. Gotta say the wings were pretty awesome. The wings were nicely flavored with their "secret" sauce. The burgers were just as nice and very juicy. read more

Plank Road Inn is a hometown bar for sure. If you want that local feel with good food and good service, you should come here. Check out their specials on Facebook or website. Football Sunday is a must here. Tons of TVs and specials. Check out their Facebook or website to see what is current. read more

I heard that guy Nolan is gone. I'm still not returning That was way beyond crazy so it would be ludicrous to show my face in this cliquey pub who thinks I'm capable of bartenders claims Never seen or dealt with anything like it read more

Local dive bar, dining available in the back. Love their Frankenstein wings which is their own special mixer sauce.....so delicious and with the super crispy wings that it is soooo awesome! They have different specials each night, I frequent the rib, wings and prime rib night all soon good hehehe. Great prices no fuss restaurant and pretty great food. Also drink prices are very reasonable, you won't feel down right broke afterwards which is always great! For a calm night catching up with friends, this is a good local spot. read more

I have lived here for awhile and never visited. I came here to check out a funny comedian Tim Schmidt. It was worth it. He was the funniest of the night and made my visit to this venue more than worth it. Thanks Tim Schmidt!!! read more

A great no frills sports bar to go to watch a game with your pals, eat great food and just relax! Plank Road has been an institution in Secaucus for at least 40 years. The bartenders are quick, the drinks are mixed perfect, and the menu is way more than just bar food. Every night they have a special ie: wing night. So there's always something good to eat. Internet jukebox is awesome and beer is nice and cold. Plenty of TVs all around to watch the games. All that and it's not expensive to eat or drink here. If your looking to unwind with a cold one and a great bite to eat, make Plank Road your place to go! You won't be disappointed! read more

Everyone needs a local "goto bar" in their life so i you don't have one, I'd recommend, The Plank Inn. It's been around forever and the decor is pretty basic bordering on a bit dingy. Nevertheless, they have a large selection of beer which is served really cold. The food is very good, so are the prices, and the staff is friendly to customers. I always get Chilie Cheese Dogs with a beer. They have a big selection of burgers, wraps, salads, wings (the best), etc. They also have a small restaurant area in the back for a full meal, yes, dinner or lunch. The chef is very talented. It's a very friendly place so go, you will have a good time and great food. read more

Drinks, food, music, entertainment, great bar tenders....nothing better than a cocktail and a break from kids...:-) read more

I was in this place for approx. 20 minutes and never have been more turned off by an establishment in my life. The bartender had an attitude the moment we stepped in and asked my friends and I for I.D. We obliged but he seemed to have an attitude about it all. Still, we ordered drinks. However, ours were either watered down or just not what we asked for at all. He even slammed my glass down and didn't care for the mess he caused. I was so annoyed by the service that we just paid and left. He also took money from our change as a tip. First and last time coming here. read more

Neighborhood pub. Great prices and weekly promotions. Super friendly staff. My go to place.

When you are spending 12-15 hour days in Secaucus in a windowless data center and then get out and realize --- ugh I'm in Secaucus - you look and there shines a light.. a shimmering beacon of hope in an otherwise desperate world. The Plank Road Inn.... "The Plank" will solve all your problems and trepidations with the coldest Yuengling on the planet and a burger made by the angels themselves... Their Italian specials are actually quite excellent so their kitchen has breadth. Just seat yourself down and the friendly locals, almost none of which bite can chime in on the debate of exactly how Secaucus is pronounced and other questions of world-wide mystery... I give this my highest review and say that there is no finer feeling than that first Yuenglings at the Plank - it tastes like victory... read more

My fiancé and I have come here quite a few times and really like it. It's a local bar with pretty good food and prices to match. There are plenty of TVs so it's perfect place to come and watch almost any sports game you could think of. The selection of beer on tap is decent and they generally have a cider on tap too. Last night I ordered the balsamic chicken sandwich and my fiancé got the Philly cheesesteak. His sandwich looked and smelled amazing and he really enjoyed. My sandwich was absolutely delicious. If you are looking for a healthier sandwich option this is the way to go. The flavor of the chicken and the peppers was so perfect together I was in heaven. Everyone is extremely friendly here and the service is pretty good. Recently Linda Thai, a local Thai restaurant, started to share the kitchen so you can get Thai food sometimes as well. In my opinion, this is a great local spot if you're in town. read more

Plank Road Inn - Balsamic chicken sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - Secaucus, New Jersey

Typical American Pub with a few drafts and and few bottles. What is Atypical about the Plank Road Inn is the high quality food that you can order there. If you attend on on Wens-Sat you can get a meal that you wouldn't expect to be able to order for a place like this. Great Italian dished are served and on the other days their "bar" food is pretty comfortable. Some staff members are great, some, you can tell seem less than thrilled that you're ordering from them. lots of TVs for the games. read more

I love plank road inn! This is a great spot for day drinking, a good meal, or a night of fun!! Different beers on draft and specials on the menu!! And the male bartenders are very easy on the eyes ;-) read more

Good, all around American pub! Decent selection of draft beers, and they keep a frosty glass for your beverage of choice!

Despite the fact that Secaucus, NJ doesn't really have much options to hang out.. This is a really nice place to get something to eat, whether is a snack or a nice full dinner. They have their special Oscar's menu available wednesday to sunday. Food is well done with very tasty flavor and very reasonable prices! If you are looking to get together with your friends and have a few drinks while watching any hockey or basbeball game this is also the right place to come! The staff is very kind and the environment is so comfy. read more

My favorite dive bar. Great wings (go Frankenstein) and lots of good ice cold beers on tap. Love the iced glasses.

I've been to this place a few times in the past few weeks. The first time I was there I was pleasantly surprised... I honestly expected the worst because from the outside it looks a bit sketchy. However, the atmosphere is pretty good.. your typical dive bar, but low key and friendly. Actually really friendly... the bartenders/ wait staff are awesome!! Great place to watch games... and the wings/ food are DELICIOUS!! Probably the best wings I've had in the state.... FYI get the Frankestein wings or just the regular wings. I would give this place a 4 or 5 stars, however the few times I've gone the beer has not tasted great. They have plenty of choices, but each beer tastes off. Either the kegs are flat or the don't clean the lines properly. It's really unfortunately because I REALLY wanted to love this place after the first time I went. I would still go back because the food is definitely good and the staff are really nice... perhaps I'll stick to bottled beers when I'm there. read more

For the price range you get great food, drink, and atmosphere. Could not recommend higher

Just had the chicken caruso and it was fuckin awesome!!!!!! Chicken, eggplant, prosciutto, mozzarella and vodka sauce over angel hair pasta.... Yummmmmm :-) read more

Friendly neighborhood spot, great Frankenstein wings, good beer selection with good service.
