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.

Was a beautiful day out and we sat outside on the dock. Our waitress was nice and attentive. I…read morebelieve they updated the menu since last time we went (I did not see some of my previously reviewed items on the menu anymore). I decided to try the seafood risotto which was decent but a couple of the scallops were a little over cooked and the risotto itself was kind of sticky. My husband got the steak sandwich which he was surprised was a whole piece of steak (opposed to being sliced) but he said the steak was very tender and he had no issues eating it! I also stole a few of his sweet potatoes fries which were very good.

We chose to sit inside, so the view of the lake was blocked by our booth, but you can sit on the porch for 360 degree views of the water. I would definitely recommend this, as the views are the highlight of the experience. The service is also very polite and accommodating, as they indulged my request to add chicken to my dish. I ordered the Chimichurri Mushroom, and as mentioned, added chicken. The dish needed a protein, and would've been very light otherwise. Everything was cooked well, but my dish was swimming in oil. I was really turned off by this. I also found everything, including the Chimichurri, to be quite bland. Overall I had high hopes for this place, especially due to the location, but the food itself wasn't really worth returning for.

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.

The onion rings also may have been some of the best I've ever had. Yeah it's bar food but it's bar food on another level! If we ever find our way back to this part of the country we will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

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.
