    the front of the pub at night
    Patrick M.

    Dinner at Pub 517 in Tranquility, N.J. (sounds like a fictitious name from a Twilight Zone episode) with long time friends. Cool, comfortable, rustic, vibrant, neighborhood type of bar/restaurant with a sports theme vibe. A lot of similarities to Pub 199 in Mt. Arlington, including the 2 dozen clams that I can never pass up. Food was very good, with generous sized portions, and service was friendly and prompt. In addition to the usual bar fare Pub 517 also offers a nice selection of steaks and/or seafood that should satisfy any appetite. Nice stop if you're in the area. 01/13/2024

    Terrible chewy steaks. The clams were good though. Not a big fan of this establishment.

    The clams are very good but the New York strip I had was excellent. The only downside was that it's cash only and pretty pricey.

    We've heard great things about the wings at Marley's Gotham Grill and we were not disappointed with…read morethe options. 402 different sauces. The wings come lightly breaded or not, boned or boneless or you can get falafel w/ sauces. I was pleased to see the full bar and happy they had my Leigenkugel summer shandy. Hubby got Diet Pepsi. He was thinking of getting food off the menu but we decided to see how hungry we were after the wings. 12 wings were plenty and we couldn't even eat those. The Jack Be Nimble w/ Jack Daniel's sauce were our favorites and came with plenty of sauce. We enjoyed the ginger garlic honey as well which seemed more like a rub, but the JD was wet and better. Plus they bring out fresh chips which are supper crunchy and delicious. The wings came out super quick and our server Crystal B was very attentive. The bar is very happening and features local brews as well as all the favorites. There are many options to sit and enjoy. There is outdoor in front of the restaurant and in the patio in the back. You can sit along the bar for a louder atmosphere or on the other side for a quieter more family oriented environment. Hubby wanted a coffee and opted for an Irish Coffee while I finished my beer. It was made with Jameson which is common but not his favorite. It was topped off with a light layer of whipped cream and green food coloring (not a fan).

I don't really care much about fries so it isn't a deal breaker but if I'm paying for as part of the whole meal... not acceptable. The French Onion soup was good. Their Reuben is okay. The potato skins... pass. Small, needed to be crispier for my liking. I have had better experiences here later on in the day. I'll go with busier is better for them. The staff is always pleasant. Whatever the other mis-steps the people who serve you are really awesome. Considering evening and the crew I'll go with 3 over the 2 stars my recent experiences have earned. I don't see lunch here again. Oh, make sure to put at least 2 quarters in the meter. Lunch was over an hour and though the meter guy was cool he didn't have to be. I'm sure I would have gotten a ticket had I not been walking to my vehicle. He gave a friendly mention that the time was up.

I built my own burger and got the beyond burger with vegan cheese, the vegan aioli, and other classic fixings. I also added sweet potato fries, which were fantastic, and exactly the type of sweet potato fries you can eat an entire plate of. We came here a few weeks ago, so I honestly forget what kind of burger my boyfriend got, but I know he loaded it up with a bunch of stuff and got bacon on it, and he also really enjoyed it. The only reason why I'm not giving this place five stars is because our waitress only really checked in on us about one time, and it did take her a long time to come back around. We were kind of flagging her down. My boyfriend and I did mention that this place is definitely fantastic in the summer. Especially to sit outside and just enjoy some beers and appetizers. We really did like the inside though. And it's still a great place to check out in the colder months! We'd come back for sure when we get another burger craving!

Fried pickles were awesome. Love the seemingly homemade ranch. 12$ build your own burger plus fries is a fantastic deal. We'll be back just for that. Fried chicken sandwich was good! Needed more sauce but very tastey. Surprisingly the regular fries out did the sweet potato. I think I'll stick with the regular next time. Awesome beer choices. We'll be back.

We were able to make a reservation, and the restaurant was kind enough to extend our reservation when we were delayed -- especially on one of their busiest nights of the week. Maria was exceptionally nice and helpful in making reservations. Food was delicious and enjoyable throughout all the courses. The Picanha and Beef Short Ribs were my favorites of the Rodizio. My parents split a steak entree and the salmon - the restaurant was kind enough to split both entrees on two plates for each of them. Both servings were generous. Had an Old Fashioned and a Caipirinha - both were excellent. They also have an extensive wine and whiskey menu. Service was pretty good. I would say the only hiccup was the food took forever to come, which seems strange for Rodizio. But I attribute the delay to the tardiness of two folks in our party, and a little inexperience of our server. But aside from that, he did a good job. We got to meet the manager Tatiana, who was fabulous - you can tell she cares about her craft, and the owner Joe, who was exceptionally kind and friendly. My niece and his son apparently went to the same school, so it was truly nice to make the acquaintance. I love to support small business, and it doesn't get better than this. I will make sure to stop here again soon - this was a fantastic experience.

I've heard that's common with Brazilian cuisine, but it was too salty for me. The paella was surprisingly small portion-wise compared to the way most restaurants serve it.
