Probably the best overall spot on the lake -- which admittedly isn't saying a whole lot -- but…read moresometimes you take what you can get, and this place delivers. The food is consistently good, the service is attentive, and the overall atmosphere during the day is relaxed and enjoyable. It's a great place to unwind, grab good food and drinks and enjoy being on the lake! Weekend nights can be a different story. The live bands tend to be loud and a bit over the top, which can overwhelm what would otherwise be a really pleasant setting. A cool, laid-back DJ with better volume control would elevate the experience and make it a place you'd want to linger longer. All in, it's still the go-to on the lake -- just pick your timing wisely.

We started with the "Crispy Chicken Teriyaki" over #JasmineRice with #RoastedPeppers Next, we had a grilled chicken sandwich on Ciabatta with Arugula, Roasted Peppers and #FreshMootz Our 3rd course was #PatsWingshalf Buffalo and half Bourbon and we ended our culinary adventure with a #JumboPretzel because jumbo is are thing. If it says jumbo, giant, colossal or anything of that nature on the menu, we are probably going to order it. #PatsBar was clean, decorated for halloween and surprisingly had customers at 3pm when arrived after work. The food was delicious and the staff was fun and friendly and made you want to stay longer but you can only eat so much. . #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #CelebrateEveryDay #globaleats #shenanigans #BDBFCertified #ThePhoneEatsFirst #Forkyeahfoodies #BDBF @forkyeahfoodies #YouDontKnowJersey #TeaseTheDay #ClearEyesFullBelliesCantLose #ABigDudesGottaDoWhatABigDudesGottaDo #HaveYouHuggedABigDudeToday

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon which just screamed for us to sit outside, enjoy the sunshine…read moreand people watch. And grab a beer or two. I started with a Modelo draft and switched over to Leinenkugel which I freaking love and is a seasonal shandy. There was live music, sunshine, and yummy food. It took awhile, but we were in no hurry.

Such a nice welcoming lunch we had. For starters, they allowed dogs outside so we were able to…read moregive them a try. Everyone was very kind and welcoming. Vito received a bowl of ice water as well! My wife had a good salad with chicken and I have the chicken cheese steak a try. The bin was super soft and fresh that definitely made the sandwich.

It was a beautiful fall day and the view of Lake Hopatcong was quite good. 5 stars. I rate the…read more service we received as outstanding. 5 stars again. The food was another matter. Serving sizes for all 6 of us were plentiful and I was pleased that fresh green beans could be substituted for fries. I ate my burger and had tastes of others entrees then concluded that the food was nothing special. I rate the quality and preparation of the food as 3 (tops). So, enjoy the view and, based on my experience, expect top quality service. But don't expect gourmet food.

We will have to come back when it's nice out to enjoy the patio area with games, fire pits, and much more to enjoy with large and small groups of friends or coworkers. The bartender was super friendly (she just celebrated a birthday) and it seemed like there were many regulars at the bar. The Po-boy special drew my attention and I opted for crispy tots to go along with it and my Coors Light draft. My hubby went for the classics wings and potato skins. Nice crispy wings.

We kept hearing for good wings go to Knotty Pine in Wharton…read more So we did.... Definitely a hole in the wall but Definitely a gem! The pub is small and the bartenders are friendly. The food is basic typical American menu. Standard popular beers on draft.

The food tasted very good and everything had great flavor! We definitely will be back we enjoyed it very much. If you are in the wharton area give it go and pop on in for some Motor Oil wings!!!

Stopped in for lunch at Pub 199 and once again had a great meal…read more Started with a bowl of lobster bisque, followed by a porterhouse steak cooked medium rare that we split. 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.

Went here recently for lunch with co-workers and ordered their steak sandwich. The steak is flank…read moresteak, and it was cooked to perfection just the way I asked for it i.e., medium rare. It was served on a French baguette with provolone cheese and was absolutely the best steak sandwich I've had in years. It was topped with provolone cheese that was also melted just enough to not be messy, but the melt complimented the flavors of the medium rare steak. The sandwich was accompanied by perfectly cooked crinkle cut fries. We ate at the bar and were taken care of by a very efficient bartender who also brought us our food. She made recommendations to my co-workers who weren't quite sure of what to order and they took her suggestions and were glad they did. McKenna's is a local pub and while this was my first visit, we were told that it is under new management. I do plan to go back soon and try their Shepherd's Pie which I saw another diner order. Our server told us it comes in two sizes, which is probably a lunch sized portion and a larger one for dinner. McKenna's is not a true dive bar; it was clean and warm, and the people were friendly. I hope its new management/ownership are successful because I plan on going back more frequently now that I've discovered it and because I want to work my way through the rest of their menu.
