    Note the "Happy Hour" discount
    Bill B.

    On a nice day you can enjoy the outdoor dining. Opted for the basic items on the menu which were fine. The beer (Sam Adams Summer) was excellent, however, do not be fooled by the term "Happy Hour". Our waitress neglected to inform us that there was an upcharge for onion rings. She also said "it's Happy Hour Thursday" when we debated ordering another round. She could not explain the "Happy" discount when we finally received the attached bill. $2 off the entire bill is more like a "Happy Minute" discount. We did have a nice dining experience. The entertainment was good. Just beware of the hidden upcharges and non-traditional use of "Happy", which is why I gave it 2 stars.

    Frozen mrs. t's pierogies

    Food is not great. Ordered pierogies to see that they were frozen(ew). The meatloaf was not good at all and not what I was expecting. It looked like a sloppy mush dowsed in brown gravy and had red peppers that made the taste of it aweful. The mashed potatoes that came with it tasted fake and the broccoli was bland. My daughter's mac and cheese was ehh. There's plenty of other places in the area with much better food. Was pretty disappointed to the point that I didn't want to order anything else even though I was pretty hungry. I will not be going back.

    Holy moly, this is some of the best classic American food we've had in a long time. We found this place randomly on Yelp I think and the cute exterior and and being so local we were eager to give it a shot. We got the mango habanero wings (omg yum!), the riverside pasta with shrimp, and a burger. Every single bite was more delicious than the previous. Even the fries were seasoned nicely and just fantastic. The restaurant inside is a little bit lackluster, but the staff was friendly and the service was great. If you aren't big on dogs this might not be your place, but he/she was well behaved and owners were quite attentive. We will for SURE be back and recommending it all around.

    NY Strip and Fries

    Found this place looking at the maps app trying to find something new. Didn't expect to find a place off the main roads. Real local vibe, was remodeled roughly a year ago or so. Very nice inside. Bartender was extremely pleasant and attentive. Manager was hands on helping out. We got the buffalo wings, NY strip, and a bar pie. All were excellent! Tap beer tasted great (you can tell the lines are taken care of). So happy this place exceeded any expectations I had. I intend on coming back many more times!

I loved the atmosphere; it felt warm, cozy, and like just the place you'd want to spend an evening in October. Service was very friendly! Lots of smiles and suggestions about the menu. My friend and I ordered the skillet honey butter cornbread, the mini tacos, and the devils on horseback- bacon wrapped dates stuffed with blue cheese!! Yum! There was honestly no favorite amongst them- each one was perfect. We cleaned all three plates! Overall, the Rocky Hill Inn was worth the 45 minute drive. I'll be dreaming of my next trip here until then!

    This visit to the Rocky Hill Tavern wasn't as good as previous visits. Service was still good but…read morereservations are an absolute must. The French onion soup is just as good and one of the best in the area. It's so good we had it when it was over 95° degrees outside and still worth it. They've changed the chicken meatballs in the last 2 years since I've been there - much less slaw (which was a unique highlight). These were dry and tasted overcooked and tough. My chicken Milanese was also overcooked and tough. The chicken was right at that cusp of brown to burnt with some pieces being burnt and difficult to chew. My husband's fried chicken from his sandwich (much much thicker piece of chicken) was fine so it makes me wonder if it was cooked at the same time. The prices are still reasonable for a nicer pub / gastropub which is appreciated.

They have 16 options on tap, showcasing their farm-fresh ingredients across beer styles, seltzers, and even birch beer.

Standouts included the Doppelbock, Mango-Kiwi Fizzy, Godhi-Real Peach Fruit, and the most unexpected favorite, El Diablo Chelada, a beer-meets-Bloody-Mary situation. Even as someone who usually skips Bloody Marys, this one won us over. Bold, layered, and wildly drinkable. Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome inside the stunning barn-style tasting room, complete with warm wood paneling, oversized wagon-wheel chandeliers, plenty of seating, Rutgers pride, and a peek into the production area. Outside, pups can stretch out on the spacious deck and lawn overlooking the farm. Bonus points for fire pits where you can cozy up with a beer. This is also a family-friendly spot with a great playground out back and loads of room to roam. Just be sure to check their website for 21+ hours. Bring your own food or catch whatever food truck is on-site, and don't miss their packed events calendar. Trivia, open mics, chess games, book clubs, bingo, and more keep things lively all week long. Farm vibes, great beer, happy dogs, and something always happening. Hard to beat!

It's a true hole‑in‑the‑wall diner with an almost comically extensive menu -- the kind where you wonder how they manage to cook everything well, and then they actually do. I had the French toast with bacon, and it was the kind of breakfast that makes you briefly reconsider every life choice that led you to eat anywhere else. My man ordered hot dogs with sauerkraut and coleslaw, and judging by the silence across the table, he was having a spiritual experience of his own. Portions? Enormous. Flavor? Spot‑on. Nothing felt rushed, skimpy, or phoned‑in. This place deserves more love than it gets. If you've been meaning to try somewhere new, consider this your sign. Be brave, be bold, and wander into The Little Place. You'll walk out full, happy, and wondering why you didn't come sooner.

We…read morewere on Main Street for the Flemington Car Show featuring Corvettes and decided to have dinner at Matt's afterward. I had originally made an 8:00 reservation through Tock since the show was scheduled to run until then, but we left after the trophies were awarded around 7:00. Matt's was able to accommodate us nearly an hour early. Matt's is located inside what feels like a historic home, with several dining areas including one reached by stairs immediately after entering. It was busy when we arrived, although by around 8:30 there was plenty of seating available. The tables are fairly close together but not so close that you feel crowded, and the noise level was moderate. We could easily have a conversation while occasionally overhearing the owner explaining the origin of the restaurant's name. I started with the Rooster House Salad, which was very good. It had just enough honey-sherry vinaigrette without overpowering the marinated vegetables. For my entrée, I had the Prime Hanger Steak medium rare. It was cooked properly, and I particularly liked the accompanying horseradish steak sauce. My wife started with the Rustic Wild Mushroom Soup and had the Fire Roasted Shrimp Pasta for her entrée. She enjoyed both. The pasta had at least half a dozen good-sized shrimp and was a large enough portion that she brought some home. Matt's is BYOB, but I managed to leave our bottle of wine at home. They also offer a selection of local Unionville wines by the bottle, with half bottles available for some selections, so we ordered a half bottle of Unionville Cabernet Sauvignon. Service from Dave K. was very good. My wife almost left her leftover pasta behind, and Dave actually ran outside to catch us before we left. We've consistently enjoyed our dinners at Matt's, and this visit was no exception. Being able to accommodate us well ahead of our reservation and Dave making sure we didn't leave without our leftovers were particularly appreciated.

My main course of the Cherry Coke Short Ribs - Amanera cherry demi, lemon & parsley gremolata was wonderful. The best thing is having a desire to come back along with most of the menu looking amazing to try!
