This place is a lot of fun, great stuff fast service, great food, great cooks clean establishment. Kinda dark in the bar area and a bit tight in the open room seating, but worth every bit of the wait on a busy night to get in... read more

One of our go to spots for dinner. They are very accommodating to kids. Gets busy on weekends, we usually go early or on weeknights. Food and service is always really good. Awesome pub food! read more

Very loud. Food is ok, a bit more greasy than we expected.. French onion soup is NOT the best.. stuff are super nice and attentive .. good tea selection.. read more

Quiet man was our favorite local food establishment. However yesterday we had the most embarrassing experience ever. Around dinner time my husband and our 2 children, 8 and 7 year old, decided to go to the restaurant earlier then we typically do- went to dinner around 530 pm. . We were greeted by the hostess and seated in the back room. Then our waitress, comes to our table take me and my girls drink orders but then when she gets to my husband shakes her head and says, " I don't know if i can serve you " goes to back and then comes back out. Goes on to tell my husband he needs to have a shirt on in order to be served, he had on a tank top, so we are both shocked considering we have been there so many other times and no one has EVER said anything to us about his shirts. So, he said okay- I understand and asked about the shirt - if he gets to keep it ... the waitress said no you have to give it back and we wash them to reuse them .... so to make a long embarrassing story short .. we decided it was best to leave... As we were walking out a few other staff came out with shirts saying he can keep the shirts but we just wanted to leave asap.. my kids and myself we just embarrassed and shocked. The waitress kept saying this was a "rule" since the establishment opened 38 years ago and that her dad would be coming in later and he wouldn't be happy so my husband would have to put on the shirt .... So the BIG PROBLEM I see with the situation is number one we go here for dinner at least 1 to 2 times a month and NEVER has anyone said anything about this to us, there are no signs indicting a dress shirt is required to be served, and lastly the hostess should have never seated us if this was " RULE " that has been in existence since the day the "establishment opened 38 years ago". To be honest we just can't help but feel like they just didn't want to serve us and now they have lost our business forever. In the future, in order for this NOT TO FEEL LIKE DISCRIMINATION they should probably put a sign up and make sure all the staff is trained on this "rule" - so that a family doesn't have to be seated then denied service because of a "shirt". read more

Ask me ten years ago (we've been coming here for 20) and it would have been 5 stars. We feel like the place has gone downhill the past three or four years. The fish and chips is always good. Honey fried chicken is solid too. The steaks, which we have always ordered, have gotten more expensive with lesser quality. Chewy and not a lot of flavor. We have been coming here since our first date. Fast forward 20 years and the staff knows us and is wonderful but the owner is downright rude. We don't want anything free but in 20 years we have only missed our anniversary there (it was also the place we got engaged!) twice. Never even bought us a drink. We will still come here. The clams appetizer is amazing and nobody could ever beat their Irish coffee, but we are disappointed more than not lately and it's such a shame. read more

I love it here. It's a cozy and warm atmosphere with a friendly staff. The food is fresh and yummy. My husband and I have been celebrating our wedding anniversary here for the past 6 years, the candle lights on the tables make a really romantic setting. The only downside is the lack of parking space but dining here is more than worth the parking inconvenience. read more

This place is amazing. Been here an uncountable number of times. Great irish cuisine!

Came to the Quiet Man Pub today after a long day of my nursing job and couldn't be more happy with my experience. I very rarely yelp and when I do it is to give reviews about a bad experience, but this place was so great I had to write my first positive yelp :) I sat at the bar and the bartender was so attentive and nice. She took my orders at the moment I was ready, gave me a great recommendation on the food and put every condiment in front of me that I could possibly need :) The food was fantastic! It all sounded so great on the menu, so the bartender told me to go with the fish and chips and they were some of the best I've ever had. I got one of their Irish coffees and it was delicious and traditional. Very very happy with my experience, will come here again!! read more

I love this place for lunch and a pint. The fish and chips are the best I've had in years outside of Massachusetts. These folks pour the finest pint of Guinness around, and yes, it is a bit of an art. The soups are rustic and savory. The salads are puny, but if it's a salad you want, go to a salad bar. Nice warm hearty breads, great atmosphere. They also serve a fabulous rueben sandwich. Quick and friendly service. You'll see a lot of locals here; a true endorsement of its reputation as a good ole pub. read more

Was there for the first time around St Patrick's Day. The beer was great, cold , clean glasses.. The corned beef was absolutely to die for !! God Bless this place as it's the only place west of Morristown that still serves up the true Irish Pub atmosphere. They should take Thatcher McGee's and Shannon Rose and flush them . This place rocks !! read more

Nice local pub. Food quality good, be prepared for a wait on weekends

Love the comfort food. Always delicious and nice atmosphere. The booths near the bar are comfortable. Service is always efficient. Desserts exceptional. read more

Inviting interior, wonderful service, very reasonable prices and amazingly wonderful food. An amazingly pleasant experience.

Been coming for years..... Brown bread is great with a hint of molasses..... Great shrimp cocktail, even though it's not on the menu....... Pan seared tilapia outstanding........ Chicken dumplings and quesadillas great..... Super burgers.... Just consistent good food.... Oh Cajun chicken and sausage soup has a great kick read more

Nice little pub in the middle of Dover. Check out the production stills hung about the place. I love Maureen O'Hara.! The food is great here. Have never had a bad experience. Loved the movie, love the pub. read more

Awesome food and great drinks. Love the nachos and they make the best Irish coffee in town.

Have been here many times and the food never disappoints. Very friendly bartenders also. A great local spot.

Place has been there forever and it looks it. Needs some updating. Very small and cramped. Food was average at best with a high price tag. They cater to the regulars. Service was unfriendly. I will not be rushing back. read more

Excellent Food and atmosphere! Actually, very much like an Irish Pub- cozy, lots of wood, and friendly people especially if you make the slightest effort. You can choose pub food or a more 'gourmet' style meal if you'd like. FANTASTIC fish 'n chips. and just as fantastic are the duck and lamb. Their scalloped potatoes won me over to the point I ordered a tray for Easter. I agree with another writer, perfect Guiness pour. And their Irish Coffee is the BEST I've ever had (none of that whipped cream from a can with green food coloring). Parking can be a challenge sometimes, and it does get crowded - however it is totally worth it. Be sure to try this gem in Dover! read more

Awesome local joint serving traditional and tweaked UK fare. I love their fish and chips. Even with the expanded dining room they need more tables in this place. read more

Came in and was embarrassed by the owner because of my sleeveless shirt. They gave me a shirt to put on and felt targeted because I am a minority. There were others with sleeveless shirts. I will never go back, because the owner is a racist. It's too bad her fancy restaurant is in a bad neighborhood. The place is bar food and not fancy. There were no signs letting us know there was a dress code. read more

Great menu, everything I had was delicious! The people are very nice. I just wish it was bigger.......you can't make reservations and alot of times we would go, there would be an hour or more wait, which is great for them, but stinks for me :( Really cute restaurant, though!! I would recommend going for an early dinner or a really late dinner so you don't have to wait!!! Overall, really great restaurant, they are always busy!! read more

I love the Quiet Man. Food is awesome, people are friendly!!

Lovely place, nice atmosphere and good food. I love a pub atmosphere and this place didn't disappoint. Clean, comfy and cozy. We orders appys, entrees, dessert and drinks, not a single complaint from anyone. Definitely a thumbs up and a place you should give a try. read more

Anything you want whenever you want it. Best restaurant in the county. Cast of characters.

Good food and nice beer options. Many choices for both. On first visit, I tried the Shepherd's pie and it was hot, very tasty and reasonable. Portion size was great. I will return. read more

Met another couple at The Quiet Man around 8:00 on a Saturday night. The place was small and packed - figured we were on to something since even that late there was a 25 minute wait. We put in our names and the manager/owner (very friendly woman) pointed us to a seat at the end of the bar. Fully stocked bar with some decent craft beer selections. I ordered the Ommegang Saison and hubby got a Duvel Begian beer and then a Schneider Weisse doublebock (I really liked that one!). We had to ask for glasses, which seemed odd, but no big deal. Our friends arrived about 15 minutes after we did and we were seated about 8:30. Our waitress came right over, we ordered a few more drinks and water and then checked out the menu. Mostly Irish fare, but a nice selection of other items (ravioli, pork chops, steaks, etc...). Hubby and I ordered the fish and chips (I was torn between that and the fried chicken - the description of honey fried chicken just sounded soooo tasty, but I had my heart set on the fish - next time I'll try the fried chicken), my friend ordered the mushroom stuffed ravioli and her husband ordered the pork chops. All came with salads and bread. Our friend also ordered a French onion soup - it looked nice and cheesy with a good chunk of bread on top -he said the broth could have been a little 'heartier' - he said it was a little bland and not as 'beefy' as he liked, but he ate it all. Our meals came out about 15 minutes later and the fish and chips were top notch (I always look for fish and chips like Thatcher McGee's in Pompton Lakes used to make when they first opened - those were THE BEST I've ever had, but over the last few years, they're just no-where near as good as they used to be) - but The QM fish and chips were almost as good - I would definitely order them again (after trying the chicken!) - they came with steak fries, which I'm not a fan of because they are just too 'potato-y' for my liking but I just pick out the skinnier ones and eat those. We had to ask for tartar and ketchup, which both came in their own containers (not as a side on the plate). Everybody really enjoyed their meals - our friend's hubby said his pork chops were fantastic - they came over a layer of what looked like baked beans, and my friend's raviolis looked fully stuffed and there were about 8 large ones on her plate. After dinner, she ordered the cheesecake and hubby and I ordered the hot apple cider with apple jack. OMG - was that a phenomenal drink for a nice cold winter's night! It's just what you'd expect - cinnamon, cloves, orange peel, and a little kick from the apple jack. YUM! Aside from parking (there's a church next door and I think the packed streets were from the congregation parking) - we had to park across Rt 46 and park on the side street...but not a problem. Oh - and about 9/9:30, they have live entertainment in the bar area (it was a couple - Pat and Karen I think - very good - played some Christmas music and some 70/80's - not very loud or over-powering, you could hear the music but still carry on a conversation). All-in-all, we will definitely go back (our bill for 4 drinks, a dessert, the 2 ciders, 1 soup and 4 entrees was about $111 - not bad at all for good quality food!!) - I have to try that fried chicken - and will definitely finish off dinner with the apple cider/jack!! read more

I have been here many times and find that the food is consistently good! Just left the restaurant had the ribs and beet salad and it was just great! read more

As a frequent traveler to the UK I am on a constant quest for good UK-style food in the US and The Quiet Man has it. Firstly parking is limited, so be prepared to park on the residential street and walk to the restaurant. The restaurant almost always has a wait, so if you call ahead when you are leaving your house and tell them you are 10-15 minutes away they might put your name on the wall board for you :) The staff are very friendly, the bartender likes to chat and the hostess looks after everyone. Hands down the best dish on the menu here are the scalloped potatoes. You can order a pan for catering service and let me tell you they are worth every penny - buttery, rich, and melt in your mouth. I have never had a bad steak here and it is my go-to order when we come for dinner. The fish & chips are Dublin style (I think) which is a thicker, heavier batter than I prefer, but is still deliciously crispy and never soggy. The chips are fried and crispy and great with salt & vinegar. Shepherd's Pie is another comfort food dish that I order when the weather is chilly. My favorite appetizer is the baked brie with fresh fruit and port wine sauce and crackers mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Best soup is the wild mushroom - just the right texture and the flavor is so rich, this is not canned soup, this is made in the restaurant and you can taste the chef's skill in every drop. Favorite dessert is the Bailey's Irish Creme Brulee. I laughed at the reviewer who said the crowd seems largely geriatric and there is a lot of talk about cruises, because that has been my experience as well. But I think that's because a younger crowd goes out mainly for drinks and will tolerate mediocre food for a bar-social atmosphere, while an older crowd has a keen eye for delicious and well-priced food, which is exactly what you will find here. I rated it 4 stars only because of the parking and the decor is quite dated & old fashioned. But the food is great, you can't go wrong. Definitely give it a try! read more

We found this place on Yelp after driving through the area to see the fall foliage. The food was amazing. We had the crab cake which was simply awesome with large chunks of real crab- no filler and the shrimp bisque was to die for!! The decor is great with posters from The Quiet Man movie!! Great experience. We would actually take the hour drive, since we live south of there, to come back to this restaurant !! read more

My husband and I really like this place. It's good food, a charming homey atmosphere and friendly service. My husband ALWAYS gets the mushroom soup and the duck entree. He loves it. Tonight I tried the shepherd's pie. I was slightly disappointed as I found it to be too soupy. But the flavor was good and it was a large portion. In the past I have had the steak and lamb and both were very good. It's a nice date night place, but beware when it's crowded because it is very small and there is really no place to wait. read more

Great food, the shrimp bisque is insanely delicious. The broccoli Rabe with sausage sandwich will make you crave more. The service super friendly and attentive. The decor instantly makes you comfortable. I'll be back, bank on it. read more

this place is the only reason i can think of to enter dover... love the food fish is always excellent and the steak scampi is like no other.. quiet laid back atmosphere much better than attilios next store read more

The place inside is nice, and the service was good, but I did not like my food at all. I ordered the ribs, and they tasted old and over cooked. Also, my salad leaves were yellowing and wilted..very disappointed read more

This is what everyone should expect to have in their neighborhood regardless of whether they're in New York City one of the boros or someplace in New Jersey. For years, the quiet man has delivered a wide variety of terrific food at very fair prices. The bar is also creative and offers many interesting drinks. Service is always attentive, pleasant, and efficient. read more

Was in town for a funeral. My Grandmother passed away at 95. It was our last night there and family was staying at St Francis which was near by. We showed up at around 9:40 last Sunday looking for some food, since all 4 of us were starving. The gentlemen behind the bar told us to get the order in quick since the guys in the kitchen were about to "walk", lol. We placed our order of, 1 Reuben, 1 salmon, 1 shepherds pie and 1 cheese burger along with some Jameson shots (for grandma) guiness and water. The food was outstanding! Not just for pub/bar food either. It can be compared to any fine restaurant out there. Dave, I think was his name, was so accommodating and friendly too. Thank you so much to the guys that did not walk. You made the end of our trip so nice! Well be sporting the sweatshirts we bought in Olympia, WA also!! We will definitely be stopping back through in the spring when we check up on Grandpa, 98 and a WWII Vet!! See you then!! read more

I don't understand the fuss. The place is nice and quant and clean as well, the staff is friendly but for an Irish pub style restaurant there was a menu of mostly Italian food and a very limited draft beer menu. Trying to stay with the Irish theme the fish and chips were ok, the fish was fresh but had no seasoning and the batter just fell off. The chips were steak fries (ok) but not just piled on the plate normally severed wrap in some kind of paper to help with the oil. The crab cake was fresh and all crab but again with no seasoning and the scalloped potatoes were served like a flake pastries. The food was plentiful but unmemorable. read more

We tried it based on how good the Yelp reviews are. Definitely worth the trip. I got the Shepard's pie and a corn fritter (because other Yelpers posted a photo and it looked tasty). My husband got a wedge salad and soup. He was very pleased. The wedge wasn't really a wedge and it had a nice dressing. The Shepard's pie was great - nice meat and potatoes and a lot of peas. We both got unsweetened iced tea which was tasty but we didn't see non-alcoholic drinks on the menu. We just guessed at what they might have and we got charged for refills. Each iced tea was 2.50. We got there around 6 on a Saturday night and it was so packed there were people waiting outside. They said half an hour and by the time we got seated we had waited about an hour. We wouldn't have minded grabbing a drink at the bar but there were no seats or standing places at the bar without being in the way of the wait staff. It was very awkward and wherever we stood we felt like we were on top of people eating or bumping into people at the bar. Next time I would only go when it's less crowded. I'm glad we went on a date night and without our kids or a stroller because there is NO WAY we would get a stroller in there. Wait staff was very friendly and said it was unusually busy that night. read more

Great local pub. Had a delicious dinner with my wife. Prices reasonable for overall excellent food, ambiance, and service quality.

This place is SO awesome!!! The food is tops - soups are made from scratch, fish is super fresh. We've been here a lot and never had something we didn't like. Parking can be tough at busy times of the day and sometimes you may have to wait for a table. But boy it is worth the wait!!! read more
