There are wooden booth seating and your typical round metal tables when stools that you find at a Pocha. Lots of items on the menu. We picked the half half pajeon that was half seafood pancake and half kimchi. Both were delicious but the kimchi one really stood out. Great taste and nice crisp to the texture. We also ordered the charcoal grilled pigs feet. Came with seasoned seaweed rice balls and bean sprouts. Delicious charcoaled taste with a spicy kick. Totally recommend. Also ordered the stir fried octopus that also came with riceballs and beans sprout. Our least fave dish of the nice was the chicken gizzard. Very dry and tasteless and missing the sesame oil dip that normally comes with this dish. For drinks we ordered the apricot soju. Sugar free but I didn't like the after taste. However this is my niece's favorite soju. I didn't like the fake sugar aftertaste. This place was so much fun. Loved that they blasted BTS musics and videos the whole time. Made me feel totally young and hip.

It was odd that you scanned the qr code to see the menu but you still order via waitstaff. An interesting relic that remains from the covid times. We got the fishcake soup and the korean savory pancake (two flavors: seafood and kimchi). The soup comes with fishcake on a stick as well as ricecakes (duk), a hardboiled egg and udon and they put it over a small heater so it stays hot. The pancake was on the gummy side (could use a bit more filling) but overall delicious. Knocked a star off because service was on the slow side (both to order and to get the check, and our waiter did not really check on us all that much) but other than that an enjoyable experience.

The service was also amazing! The bartender was on point with such a large group and was really nice! We also loved all the activities they had available for us a well...jumbo jenga, cornhole and pool.

The rest of the food is excellent as well, but I would take my entrée home so I can fully indulge in the bread and brownie--maybe with the shrimp appetizer, which is also amazing. The service is impeccable. I also hosted an event here, and the entire team did a fantastic job. Both the staff and management were attentive, professional, and wonderful to work with. My only disappointment was that full-restaurant private events are limited to three hours, because I would have happily paid to keep the celebration going longer!

My sister got the short rib, she said it was a tad dry but very tasty, the polenta was so good! The squid ink pasta was flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the mussels were fresh. The fries were also really good, which sounds simple but makes a difference. The customer service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the view is absolutely amazing, definitely adds to the whole experience. Would absolutely come back. We also got a brownie with caramel gelato. Can't wait to come back!

George, the owner is extremely personable and knowledgeable about the beers he's serving at the moment (as the draft and bottle list change pretty much every day). He can make you recommendations if you're not sure what to get and will graciously let you taste before you buy a full pour. The bar doesn't just have beer, its decently well-stocked and George has the ingredients to make some cocktails (though I only go for the beer, so you can defer to other reviews on this front). It's a community staple, with kind people coming together each night to share a drink and socialize. I love bars where you can freely talk to total strangers around you about the drink, the game, or anything else that crosses your mind. I love it and can't wait to go back, especially to support George.

The waiter and rest of the staff were friendly and very helpful with recommendations. They gave us complimentary soup with noodles that was very tasty. We selected four skewers (chicken, short rib, pepper in bacon, mushroom in bacon) and beef pancakes with scallions to start. An excellent and flavorful selection of appetizers. We knew that we wanted to order a solid amount of entree to share and went with the fried chicken with garlic and the thin beef brisket with clams. The fried chicken was a HUGE pile of perfectly fried and seasoned chicken. I haven't had better Korean fried chicken! The brisket and clams was also delicious, had never considered that combination before but enjoyed it to the point where I was looking for more clams. Absolutely stuffed and looking to return!

The meal came with a baked potato, steamed vegetables, and two dozen steamed clams, all washed down with a cold bottle of Briar's root beer. Pub 199 feels like walking into a natural history museum inside a hunting lodge, surrounded by taxidermy and rustic decor. The service is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the prices remain very reasonable. If you enjoy classic New Jersey spots with character and reliable food, this is one worth visiting. If you've been here, feel free to share your experience or leave a review.

Missed getting reservation today at a place we never been to so we resorted back to what we loved…read more I figure since everyone was recommending steakhouses with outrageous prices when we knew Pub 199 had the best steaks and they don't need to break the bank. Tonight I ordered the 2 doz calms (always a must) and the steak and lobster tail. It was AMAZING as always. My normal order is the whole lobster but now that they offer 2 tails I always will get that. I'm excited to try the lobster bisque which I didn't try tonight. My only complaint tonight is the waitress came over with a dish of fries for my husband who ordered the baked potato (omg so good also order the baked potato) and apologized for selling out of the potatoes. 5 Minutes later we see the table next to us get their baked potato's with their dishes. My husband was so mad. Don't lie to people when we love your food. Fries could be better. (We left them). And their vegetables are always soggy and not worth eating. Back to the positive the seafood and steaks are always worth looking over the sides. Not the baked potato, keep doing what you're doing with them. Except stop lying to the customers.
