First timer! The chicken pot pie was de-lish. Looking forward to going back are trying more of their dishes. The dinning area is super cute. It looks like someone's dinning room read more

Was driving home from PA on route 80 and found on Yelp. Food was very good and place was very quaint. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend. read more

I read a recent review about the Quiet Man and the reviewer was spot on about the food and the chef. Unfortunately he was blatantly wrong with regard to Frank's daughters being semi-retired and not carrying on the legacy that Frank and Anne established. I can only guess he is not a true regular, because we all know how hard Frank's daughters have worked. I'm a regular for 30 years and all the staff and owners are authentic genuine and make this a top restaurant in NJ. Their efforts over the past year to ensure the Quiet Man continues to provide great food and service when so many others have closed have been amazing. It is unfortunate Danny W wrote such a biased review based on one nights visit. read more

This probably the third review I have done on the Quiet Man! Here's why... Simply the best. It's not just just the great food and drinks. Nor is it just about the great music. It's about the place! You walk into the Quiet Man and you smile. There is always someone you know sitting at the bar. The bar staff are second to none, and the wait staff are friendly and funny. After going on there for over 33 years, I still look forward to it everytime! As for the food - nothing is bad. The best fish and chips anywhere (and I grew up in the UK), the steaks are fantastic, and the pasta dishes are top notch. . Personal favourite is the duck breast closely followed by the pork dishes. BTW - the burgers and ribs are not too shabby either! Late news: My wife just called and told me she feels like a crab cake. Guess where we are going tonight? You got it!! Thank you QUiet Man for always delivering a great experience! read more

Awesome pub. Great vib excellent food and drink with great service and a nice crowd. Everything I've had there is excellent but I really like the traditional pub food. Gets crowded fast so you might have to wait but it's worth it. read more

Ok, I have to admit I don't mention this place often because they are alway busy and there's a wait. Although a nice libation from the bar helps make the wait fly. I've been eating here for over 25 years and it my family go to. Great food and great people read more

I first went to QM in early 2019 on a date with someone who raved about them and was a regular on Sunday nights. Now (Feb 2020), we go regularly. Warm, inviting space, friendly and excellent service, super fresh home cooked food. I now love their pounded pork schnitzel, potatoes au gratin, baked cod, and Shepherd's Pie. Their burgers are savory and always cooked perfectly. If you're looking for lighter fare, salads are super fresh and delish. Highly recommend this enchanting Irish pub! read more

Best burger around! Never had a bad meal. A great old school place, and the bartenders are great. Love this place!

This review is on behalf of my mother, she went there to have dinner with an old friend. My mother went to leave a tip with the intention of leaving a 13 dollar tip and mistakenly wrote in for only 3 dollars. She did not even realized and walked out and as they walked down the block their waitress chased them down the block yelling at them for the mistake. They gave the waitress the additional 10 dollars to correct the error but in NO WAY IS IT APPROPRIATE FOR A WAITRESS TO CHASE A CUSTOMER DOWN THE STREET. Never again. UPDATE: less then 24 hours after the incident Mary the manager at the pub called me and apologized multiple times and refunded my moms money! Top notch customer service, will return to give them another chance. Maybe that waitress will learn her lesson. read more

The food and service are fine. But I really want to know how any restaurant in this area gets away with charging $15 for a hamburger and French fries. Crab cake app is literally ONE crab cake for $15.00. I actually hate eating out in Morris county. Everyone charges an arm and a leg for mediocre food in a crappy location. One more nail in my "I don't need to eat out in Morris county" coffin. read more

Great draft beer. The fish and chips and the Ruben sandwich are very good. Good all round restaurant

Tight restaurant. If you have to wait, there's no space inside. French onion soup was average. Fish and chips were actually better than I expected and I would recommended ordering this. Bangers and mash are like dried up breakfast sausages with watery mash. Chicken pot pie has such little chicken. Corn fritters were not fritters they were corn dough balls (not at all crispy). Covered with powdered sugar and syrup. Gross. If you get a side salad and sub for Cesar, just know it's about $7 extra for the oily croutons and lettuce. Service is okay. Pretty average. I wouldn't return. Not sure why this so highly rated. read more

The atmosphere is cozy and the menu has a variety of items of traditional pub fare, plus many other items. I had the Tuna Salad. It was a nice larger portion. And not swimming in mayo! The reason for 3 stars vs 4; My daughter had Manhattan Clam Chowder that had (no kissing) three tiny niblets of clam within the bowl! Otherwise, it's a solid spot and we will be back. read more

Great experience here at Quite Man for lunch. My GF and I came and enjoyed great food and service. She had a Shrimp Bisque and Open Faced Ruben and I had a Manhattan Clam Chowder and Veal stuffed Tortilini in a mushroom, bacon, onion brown sauce. We shared an Apple Crisp dessert. Everything was excellent. Will always come back. read more

See all

Took several coworkers to this place based on its great reviews and its locality. We all really enjoyed our meals and drinks though we occasionally had to remind the servers of our drinks and we also didn't get a split check even though we were obviously a mixed party. read more

Always enjoy when we have a chance to get here. Good ambiance, reliable and friendly service. The meal always starts with good bread - a couple different kinds. Usually several good craft beers on tap and bottles to choose from. The double cut pork chops are great, breaded, flavorful, and practically enough for two....Meals start with a fresh salad too. Fish and chips were decent; very fresh tasting. Basically, the food is much better than typical pub food, and that's why this place. Slightly awkward waiting in line for your table, looking at the couple tables close enough to the door to be near anyone waiting, but its been like that for years, and people don't seem to worry about it. read more

In town for a quick work trip. The hotel recommended this restaurant so my colleagues and I tried it out. We arrived around 6pm on a Wednesday and the parking lot (only about 8 spots) was full, but we found street parking about 1.5 blocks away. Classic pub style inside, but no windows so it was pretty dark inside even at early evening. They had 1/2 priced drafts (not sure if that is a happy hour special or Wednesday special), but only 5 beers on tap. They also brought out some house bread with our drinks. The menu is pretty basic, the waitress recommended a the specialties that is the most popular, fish and chips. Not being a fish and chips fan, I ordered the reuben, while other orders were salmon and fish and chips. My colleagues were both happy with their meals, the portions are large and we all left a bit on our plates. The reuben is open faced and smothered in swiss cheese. It was good, but certainly not the best reuben. The prices at this pub were certainly higher than they should have been, not a big deal since we were eating on the company dime, but still seemed pricey for the dishes. Overall, I would say with cheaper pricing, The Quiet Man would receive better marks, but I would rather try out something else next time I am in the area. read more

Quiet Man Pub - Reuben - Irish Pub Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

This is probably my biggest go-to from my home town. They always start you off with two of three kinds of bread; all of them are delicious and moist. Really, really love the burgers, the crab cakes & the fish and chips. Very quaint inside, the mashed potatoes are A+, too. Pretty good selection of beer. I would recommend going during a weekday, Monday-Thursday when they're not packed. read more

Great food and great service! Stopped by on a Monday night for dinner and everything was delicious! We ordered the fried clam strips and potato pancakes for appetizer. Both were good! The potato pancakes needed a little salt but overall, delicious! For dinner I had the pot pie and my boyfriend has the 10oz NY strip steak. Pot pie was hearty with a flaky crust, and the steak was cooked perfectly with a delicious Merlot reduction sauce. Ordered 2 sides of the scalloped potatoes since they're known for it... Did not disappoint at all! Wasn't too crazy about the corn fritter only because I don't associate corn and something sweet. Service was very attentive and meal was timed perfectly. Will definitely return! read more

Finally revisited after two years of pandemic hokum. As usual since it opened in the 80's by Mr. Burke it did not disappoint.

This is a really great local place. I like going to local spots rather than national chain restaurants when I'm traveling. Most of the time I sample a different place every night. However, I liked the Quiet Man so much that I'm having dinner here every night this week. The food is absolutely fantastic. I've had the mushroom-crusted chicken breast, the Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp, the Lump Crabmeat Monte Cristo, and the Sirloin Strip steak. All of them have been uniformly delicious. I've been drinking Smithwick's Ale (http://www.smithwicks.ie/) on tap all week. It's dark amber, smooth, floral and a bit hoppy, with a nice dry finish. It's not bitter, as some of the darker beers are wont to be. I'd like to call out Tuesday and Thursday nights for the food. Tuesday the special is the Fried Fish platter, which is a huge plate with deep fried fish, shrimp, clam strips, and scallops for $14.95. Thursday is steak night, when you can get one of four cuts of steak (Grilled Flat Iron, Grilled London Broil, Grilled Sirloin Strip, Pan-Roasted Angus Sirloin Filet) with a choice of sauces (Garlic-Butter, Au Poivre, Mushrooms-Onions au Jus, or Creamy Gorgonzola) for $19.95. The staff is very friendly and attentive, the locals at the bar are very accommodating to a stranger, and atmosphere is cozy and low-key. A big shout out to Vicky the wonderful bartender, Joanne the great waitress, and Cathy the amazing daughter of the of the owners! :-) (Oh, and yeah, they have WiFi, which is how I'm posting this review.) read more

Quiet Man Pub - Sirloin Strip Steak and Smithwick's Ale - Irish Pub Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

I've been eating here for 20+ years. Food is consistently great. Bartenders have attitudes. Waitresses are awesome. Best steak around. Best Fish and Chips around (Cod/Scrod). Daily specials are worth trying. Really, you can't go wrong here....... read more

Great food, great atmosphere and a friendly staff. Always a good dining experience at this iconic establishment.

I was lucky enough to encounter this pub during a trip for work. Perhaps it's totally a New Jersey thing (I'm a well traveled Texan), but I have never encountered a more inviting, local and friendly pub with zero pretense and such a spectacular menu. The food quality is, simply put, amazing. You must try the soups (daily specials). I had something different on the menu each of my half dozen visits over a two week period, and was stunned each and every time. Do yourself a favor, and stop by. But don't tell too many people. It's a fantastic secret to have. read more

A little place of Ireland! Love this place! Local little Pub. Great for a night out or something to do on the weekend. They sometimes have a band to play too! Wonderful food. I recommend the Shepard's pie! To die for!. The fish and chips are excellent! Just everything is wonderful! I can't get enough. Did i mention the bar? I love their red and white Sangria. Yum! I never had a bad experience. The staff is wonder and the place is well kept. They will be seeing me again! read more

Wow...amazing vibe. Great people, great place, great music, and great food. I felt like we were back in Ireland. If Maureen O'Hara came here not once, but twice, you know it's great. Special thanks to our amazing server Vickie! Hope to see you in Philly! read more

Is there a way to give no stars? This place has the worst pint, the most expensive bad food and the worst service anywhere in Morris County. I hate it here. The regulars are rude, fat and old. Not a place I ever want to hang out ever again. Sorry, but this is about as Irish as the Olive Garden is Italian. Such overblown shite. STILL awful! WHY baby Jesus, why would you give this place five stars? Wow, I figured a few years later the service would improve but it actually got worse. The people giving this high marks must not be regulars at Irish pubs or they owe someone money because damn, this is the farthest from an Irish experience ever. Perhaps time in Chicago and Dublin has spoiled me and we don't expect much here in BFE, but man, this place sucks. Sorry, I wish it didn't. I'd kill for a decent pub within walking distance but this ain't it folks. Just the nastiest service and fattest, ugliest regulars you can imagine. Oh well. I'll try again in a few years. read more

I've been here many times although it's been too long since my last visit. This is one of my two favorite restaurants in New Jersey. It is the most quaint place I know of with a warm atmosphere of booths lined along the bar . The Quiet Man employs some of the most friendly staff, some who have been there for over 20 years. I absolutely love scalloped potatoes- probably my favorite preparation of the beloved potato- and they make the best ones I've ever had. (You can order them in bulk and I highly recommend doing so.) I love ordering a coffee with their semi-whipped cream and spending time at their bar, the bread they start you off with, their French Onion Soup, and anything else I've ever tried there. Do yourself a favor and visit The Quiet Man ASAP! read more

Petty good. Certainly a local favorite, as it was packed on a Thursday night. The complimentary bread was meh. My chicken pot pie was ok but far too much flour taste...must just use the flour to thicken instead of making a roux properly. But chicken was good and potatoes made it hearty. The two coworkers I was with both seemed to like their food. Be warned, the clam chowder is not the creamy clam chowder you might be thinking of when you order, it's more a minestrone. It was apparently pretty good, though. Overall, I can see this being a popular place for the area, but I'll try somewhere else if I come back to this part of New Jersey. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch and ordered bangers and mash and a burger. Food was good, nothing special. It's a small bar filled with an older crowd reminiscent of a Cheers crowd. They even had a USPS guy goofing off who stopped in for a beer (for real). I don't think I would rush back. Just not my scene. If you like small bar scenes with a good menu though, this might be for you. read more

Great place!!! My husband and I have been coming here for over 10 years and never disappoints. Staff is amazing!! Food is always delicious no matter what we pick. read more

Just love this place. We go often and love the food, the cozy atmosphere, the friendly bartenders...what more do you need in a neighborhood pub? read more

Went with a friend after a movie tonight. We arrived close to 9pm and found the bar and dining room full with people still enjoying their meals and getting ready for the live music (very good). The ambiance was pleasantly busy and cheerful. We had very attentive service and can not say one bad thing about the meal or location. We had Guinness, Mushroom Soup, Blue Point Oysters and split a Reuben and side of French Fries. All of this was superb. Probably the best Reuben I've ever had. We ended with Irish Creme Brûlée and were fighting over the final bite. Definitely come here. Well worth the visit and I will be back! read more

One of the best hidden gems in the area. Parking is limited but usually plenty of street parking. Staff is attentive, and the food is excellent. Steaks cooked to perfection and thier scalloped potatoes are out of this world. read more

We found this place using Yelp. We were NOT disappointed. This quant little pub has a beautiful bar with an adjacent dining room. The wait staff is exceptionally friendly and professional. My daughter wasn't feeling well and the waitress made a point to place an order of mash potatoes to settle her tummy. We order an appetizer, potato pancakes with apple sauce. We ordered the fish n' chips, chicken pot pie, shepherds pie, and pastrami/Ruben sandwich. Everything was tasty. The fish and chips were exceptional. If we travel through these pets again we will definitely stop in again. read more

Great Irish pub! This is the place to go if you like Guinness Draught. Bartenders are friendly and they actually take their time pouring you a Guinness the correct way (2 part pour). The food is wonderful as well. Pretty large portions at a reasonable price!! This is one of my favorite bars in NJ!! The decor is just an average Irish pub. Lots of wood everywhere and nice & dim. They also have quite a few booths. Old school style, but that's how Irish bars are supposed to be! This is a great place to grab a beer with some friends. read more

The Quiet Man is a small place, and not the best on acoustics if you're looking for an intimate dinner for two. Nonetheless, it is a very lively, friendly, place, with a great menu selection, and best of all, good chow! This pub/restaurant is a real gem; the food was excellent, though I felt that the meats were about $5 or $7 too much for the location (sorry!), and I really liked the decor. Our waitress forgot my friend's shrimp bisque, but it wasn't on the bill, and in general, the staff appeared to be on target. I would definitely go back. read more

After traveling all day from LA, my husband suggested we have dinner at this Pub... (he is well-traveled and loves to share his favorites when I'm able to come along.) Since it was Sunday, and I'm of Italian decent, I was excited to see there was a nice selection of pasta dishes. My husband ordered a delicious Lamb dish. Vicky and her staff welcomed us warmly and made sure that hot bread and food arrived quickly. We didn't feel like Out-of-Towner's, and after a day of flight connections and "light snacks", we went back to our hotel comfortably full and ready to settle in for the week. Thank you, Quiet Man staff! We will be back! read more

A nice local place to have a drink or two with a friend. Friendly, attentive bartenders, and drinks rarely more than $5. I enjoyed the chopped steak dinner, served with hot, tasty bread, light whipped potatoes, and a savory gravy. read more

I'm definitely a fan of this place - well above average for bar food. The bartenders and staff are efficient, though the wait staff isn't necessarily overly friendly. Probably because they're too busy. The owner likes to make people comfortable, that's obvious. Prices at lunch can be extremely reasonable. Dinner is, obviously, more pricey, but the reality is that it's line for what you're getting (especially sea food). Recommended if you're in the area. Regulars tend to be a bit geriatric. Most of them are nice though. read more
