When I called back to clarify that I was simply asking about last call for food and mentioned that hanging up on customers is inappropriate, she told me not to call back. For a place that presents itself as trendy and inviting, this kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. I live nearby and would have been a regular customer, but after this experience, I have no interest in returning. Very disappointing and disrespectful.

It was a Saturday night out with my friend and last minute we decided to dine at a Filipino…read morerestaurant in Union, NJ, but when we arrived at around 8PM, we were told the kitchen had already closed despite their posted hours saying they were open until 9 PM. It was disappointing though to have driven from Perth Amboy to Union NJ. Trying to salvage the evening, my friend searched for nearby restaurants and found JC's Tavern & Table. I'll admit, I was hesitant at first because it gave off the vibe of a typical sports bar where you'd expect just beers & drinks, fries and burgers. But with no other choices, we decided to give it a shot. To our surprise, the experience turned out to be wonderful. We started with Cajun shrimp and chicken wings, both packed with nice flavor and perfectly cooked. For our mains, we had a lamb burger served on rustic bread with mac and cheese, along with empanadas. Every dish exceeded our expectations. All the foods were delicious, satisfying, and far from what I initially assumed. We paired our meal with a couple of beers and ended the night on a sweet dessert of warm apple tart topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was an excellent finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting and the service was genuinely hospitable. While the space is a bit small though, there are additional seating towards the back. Overall, this new restaurant find turned our night well. Highly recommended, and I'd definitely come back again.

It sounds like the setup to a…read moreJeopardy! clue, but it all comes together when you discover that Jake LoMatta's favorite second cousin sits proprietor over one of Jersey's best burgers in the Portuguese section of Newark. I of course joke about the famed boxers relationship but I can confirm this Newark institution packs a championship punch where it counts. For decades, Krug's Tavern has been proving that a neighborhood bar with a small well-seasoned grill is sometimes all you need. Without any unnecessary fanfare, they've been serving truly exceptional burgers to Newark locals and hungry visitors from across North Jersey, and there's no sign of slowing down. I stopped in one afternoon on the recommendation of a friend who works for the utility company and had spent more than a few lunch hours beneath Krug's dimly lit ceilings. Within a few bites, it was easy to understand why the place has earned such a devoted following. The Shrimp Scampi may sound like an unusual order off the bar menu, but don't overlook it. It's outstanding and deserves a place on the table no matter what else you're eating. Better yet, ask for the house "secret sauce"--a glorious combination of the scampi butter and Buffalo sauce that somehow works far better than it has any right to. When it comes to burgers, the quintessential Jersey Taylor Ham burger is a must, delivering that perfect salty, smoky bite only New Jersey can truly appreciate. The bacon cheeseburger is equally memorable, piled high with crispy bacon and juicy enough to make napkins less of a suggestion and more of a necessity. Pair any of it with an ice-cold draft beer, soak in the neighborhood atmosphere, and you'll quickly understand why Krug's Tavern has become a North Jersey institution. It's proof that great burgers don't need gimmicks--just a hot grill, cold beer, and decades of doing things the right way. It's bound to be a good time, an IRONbound good time (I'll see myself out)

Krug's is GREAT!…read more The burgers are huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, they're just phenomenal. The melted cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion on a perfectly toasted bun? So good. And they serve complimentary pickles and hot peppers on the side, which really sets it off. You literally don't even need fries with this burger -- it's more than enough. I ordered a whole one and could only eat half. My friend and I even said we should've just shared one! We started with the garlic fried shrimp scampi. The flavor was definitely there, though the shrimp were just a tad tough. I ordered a lemon berry Arnold Palmer, which didn't really impress me -- but I wasn't there for the drinks. I came for the burger, and I was more than satisfied. The prices were fair, and you get a small discount if you pay cash. They have their own parking lot behind the building (not the supermarket one), which is a big plus because parking in that area can be rough. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and I loved how everyone helped each other instead of just one assigned server handling everything. TVs all around, music playing, people laughing and enjoying is what you'll find here! It's kid friendly so bring the fam with ya! I will definitely be back. If you're a burger lover, I highly recommend this spot!
