Fried Chix 2.0
Jay M.

My girlfriend and I visited South+Pine in Morristown for her birthday lunch on a Saturday afternoon. While we were excited to try the place based on its glowing reviews, our experience turned out to be a bit uneven. Parking was a hassle, there's no dedicated lot, so we had to find street parking, which was metered and tough to come by on a weekend. We arrived around 3:00 p.m. and found the place nearly empty, with only one other table of diners inside. The space itself was cozy with a rustic charm, highlighted by unique wall decor made of old doors pieced together creatively. It had a quiet, relaxed vibe. We started off with drinks, the toasted coconut latte and the vanilla bourbon latte. Both were delicious, not overly sweet, and offered a nice balance of flavor and coffee. However, by the end of the drinks, the syrup had settled at the bottom, making the last few sips overly sweet, so I didn't finish mine completely. For an appetizer, we shared the spicy lamb meatballs served over Greek yogurt and cucumber relish. They were flavorful, though definitely not spicy despite the name--barely a 1 out of 10 on the spice scale. For our entrees, I had the short rib and winter veggie hash with poached eggs and chipotle hollandaise, which was pretty good in terms of taste, but I was disappointed by how little short rib was in the dish, it leaned heavily vegetarian. My girlfriend ordered the Fried Chix 2.0 (chicken and waffles), and unfortunately, it was a major letdown. The chicken was bland and lacked seasoning, and even the waffles didn't impress, which was especially disappointing since she's a big waffle fan and didn't even finish it. She said it was bland and chewy. Probably an over mixed batter. We also got a side of Polenta fries, made out of corn meal. These were pretty good, crunchy outer shell with a mushy seasoned corn meal on the inside. Service started out strong with a kind and attentive waitress who greeted us and brought our drinks. However, the second server who took our food order was less pleasant, her demeanor was curt and a bit rushed, despite the restaurant being nearly empty. At one point, she even pressured my girlfriend to order quickly, and I had to ask her to come back in a few minutes. Meanwhile, we could see some staff casually chatting at another table, which didn't make the rushed vibe feel very justified. We decided to skip dessert and try another spot down the street instead. Overall, South+Pine had some highs, like the lattes and cozy atmosphere, but also several lows, particularly with the entrees and service. I suspect the rave reviews are more reflective of their dinner menu, which we didn't get to try. I might consider coming back in the future for dinner, but as far as this birthday lunch went, it was just okay.

Joined for a brunch before a performance next door and loved it. Service is a little slow but friendly. It always an energetic space and highly recommend their brunch.

S&P is always great. Some things are fantastic, some things are pretty good. I never have had a bad meal. Just tried the polenta fries and breakfast burrito recently for a brunch. The fries were good, but extremely HOT when you bite into them - I think if they were cut in half/thinner they would be more enjoyable. The burrito was a masterpiece. Loved the crunchy and crispy hash browns in there. It was so lovely to sit outside on a weekend morning. Just be prepared to pay those Morristown prices. Comparable to NYC or Hoboken.

Local Halibut
Marisa V. G.

Came here last week for an impromptu date night. It was a warm night so we sat outside even though there was a slight chance of rain (we did get a quick passing shower but stayed dry under their new pergolas!). I ordered the Halibut (pictured) and my fiancé got the swordfish, both were delicious. Portion sizes weren't huge but we didn't leave hungry either. Would definitely go back to try more items.

$18. for this! Smh
Sean W.

Loud music blasting. Phones continuously going off and no one answering. Employees were standing behind partisan talking. All that before I even ordered. I ordered an $18. BLT. which if fine if it was piled high. Not what I was served. The bread came toasted, very greasy and cold. The bacon was cold too, only 2 thin strips. The sandwich looked like it should be on a child's menu. Very disappointing with the sandwich and service.

I went to South and Pine for an early lunch with 3 others. We were seated quickly and the menu is small which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The menu feels like it's trying to appeal to a younger generation with an unnecessary abbreviated item same. I think most people would get it eventually, but my step mom had to ask the waitress to explain a lot of the times because she just didn't get them. The chix sandie wasn't abundantly clear it was a chicken sandwich and I ordered the chix 2.0 and it was also something not very clear for the jump vs just calling it chicken and waffles. The staff was not unfriendly. They brought our stuff and got our original drinks. Never checked on refills. Two staff members come to our table one of them was indifferent the other seemed annoyed by us. It wasn't like they were busy and there was maybe 2 other table there on a Wednesday late morning. The food which arguably is the most important part was aox bag. The chicken was really good, the crust was really good on it to. I was disappointed it didn't say it was bone in. I would have ordered it if I knew it was bone in. This goes back to the menu not having either enough info or clear info. The waffles were also very taste. Perfect crisp to them as well. The other problem was portion size. For 22 bucks I felt like it could have gotten a whole waffle and either 2 bigger pics of chicken or a 3rd piece. My one chicken piece had about as much meat as a chicken wing. It just didn't feel like a great value but the resturant is expensive a burger is 25. So it's on par with the prices here. Arguably the hanger steak at 28 is the best price. All in all I don't think I would come back there unless someone else really wanted to go. There are a lot of food options around in mlMorristown and I this place had a mix of things that just wouldn't make it my first few choices when going out.

Red sangria and Pinot Grigio

Wonderful food and service, fantastic before a show at MPAC. Service was very attentive, salmon was wonderful. Just beware of the $36 cocktail!!

Yanedt R.

Stopped in for brunch, and the food was excellent. I definitely recommend the burger. The drinks were delicious and rich in flavor.

I thought this place was fantastic. I had always passed up going to it cause it seemed so small and I found out too late it's BYOB. The meal was incredible the mix of flavors for everything was excellent. Everything our waitress suggested we got and it did not disappoint. I was extremely pleased. The only this I did not like was the way the tables were. My friend and I went and we were a table of 2 and it felt awkwardly place which i am sure was the best they could do to fit more tables inside.

Main Fried Chix
Ashley B.

First time visiting after not being able to get in previously due to a long wait. I was really looking forward to finally get to try brunch here. The ambience and decor is very welcoming and draws you in for the brunch setting. The meals we ordered were fine, yet unfortunately nothing memorable. This wasn't a bad experience, but it left us wanting much more. Again, this isn't a bad review: it's just worth saying it wasn't my favorite brunch experience.

Arctic char
Christine C.

This is a decent spot. We dined here with another couple on a busy Saturday night. It's a small space but well designed with mostly attentive service. For me, the standouts were the appetizers. We shared the chicken lollipops and pork belly. The chicken was so crispy and flavorful! We tried the arctic char and short ribs as entrees. Both were good but I wouldn't say exceptional or standout. I did thoroughly enjoy the grits that came with the short ribs. We also all split the earl grey tea tiramisu. It sounded interesting and innovative but missed the spot for us! It really did not feel like a tiramisu. I think I would have been more into it if it was called something else! It was tasty but unexpected given the name.

I came here this past Sunday for brunch with a friend. I chose it because Morristown is a halfway point for us to meet up, it had a decent rating on Yelp and the menu seemed interesting. I was also looking forward to sitting outside and this place had that and is in the heart of the action on South St. We had a reservation for an outside table and were seated promptly. It's a little bit of a tight squeeze as they cram the tables in to maximize the seating. Our waitress was not rude or incompetent but she was a little indifferent and we didn't see here for long stretches at a time. I loved the Lavender London Fog tea that I started with. The dried lavender flowers on top was a nice touch and really amped up the lavender flavor. For my entree I had the BLT sandwich with avocado and a side Kale salad. No complaints here. Loved the tahini dressing on the salad. My friend got the chicken and waffles. The coating on the chicken was highly seasoned, crispy and delicious. However, the chicken itself was very dry. I also hate that it was chicken on the bone. For this dish, I'd prefer boneless thighs. The waffle was small and chewy. We also shared the apricot tiramisu. Very underwhelming, lacking flavor and interest.

Stirling Tavern is a casual but polished neighborhood bar and grill with a trendy aesthetic and a…read morecozy ambiance; a menu featuring classic pub favorites elevated a notch above your average bar fare with gourmet ingredients; an innovative and seasonally-updated adult beverage program; and attentive and friendly service. The space on the first floor is divided into a lively bar area with plenty of TVs and a slightly quieter main dining room with comfortable booths and tables. There is also seating on an outdoor terrace on the second floor and a few tables in front of the restaurant on South Street if you're up for dining al fresco. It's a terrific option in Morristown that's sophisticated enough for a date on the outdoor terrace when the weather cooperates or a pre-theater meal in the dining room, yet casual enough for beers and appetizers while watching a game in the bar area. The menu captures the essence of modern American comfort food. Whether you're grabbing the Stirling Burger ($18) -- made from a tasty short rib and brisket blend -- or splurging on the Grilled New York Strip ($48) topped with crabmeat fries, the quality is evident. They are also great with dietary restrictions. Between the various poultry, fish, and vegetarian options on the menu and the kitchen's willingness to make moderate accommodations in any other dish, there's something for everyone. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the service. We recently celebrated my niece's 21st birthday here, and our server made it memorable by honoring her milestone birthday by playfully asking for her ID EVERY SINGLE TIME she ordered a drink. It became a running joke for the night and made the occasion feel extra special. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars for me is that both sides of the main floor can get pretty loud when it's packed and the prices are a bit on the higher side for casual dining. We will definitely be back! PRO TIP #1: Stirling Tavern offers a Happy Hour Monday through Friday between 3pm and 6pm, which features specials on certain cocktails, wines, beers, and light snacks. You must be seated at the bar to take advantage of the promotional pricing. If you enjoy a good Old Fashioned, try the JB ($10), made with Four Roses bourbon, blood orange amaro, orange & angostura bitters. PRO TIP #2: Stirling Tavern does not have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of paid on-street parking on South Street or Maple Avenue. Bring change or use the ParkMobile app for the meters ($1 per hour) Monday through Saturday from 8am til 6PM; all street meters are free Monday through Saturday after 6pm and all day on Sunday. If you can't find a spot on the street, paid parking is also available in the Morristown Parking Authority Lot #8 (@ 10 Franklin Street) and Vail Parking Area (@ 110 South Street). FREE on-street parking is located on MacCulloch Avenue, just two blocks from Stirling Tavern.

Despite this, the manager refused to provide our party with the brunch menu and insisted we order from the regular menu, even after we politely requested otherwise. It later became clear that this decision was based on the size of our party rather than an actual menu policy. The manager repeatedly claimed that brunch ended earlier than what was printed on the menu, which was confusing and inconsistent. After unnecessary back and forth, the chef ultimately approved our ability to order from the brunch menu, confirming that this was not a kitchen issue. This was especially disappointing as we were celebrating my son's birthday, and what should have been a pleasant occasion was unnecessarily stressful. The manager's approach was unprofessional, dismissive, and confrontational. In contrast, our waiter was excellent. He was attentive, courteous, and did everything possible to make the experience positive despite the circumstances. Honoring published menu times and treating guests with respect are basic service expectations. Unfortunately, poor management overshadowed what could have otherwise been an enjoyable celebration.

We have been here several times before and we are excited to celebrate this accomplishment. When we arrived, the restaurant did not seem to know we had a reservation. The restaurant was mostly empty, so there was no issue getting a table. Once we were sat, we were offered water but no other soft drinks. Bottles of wine were opened but there was nothing to keep the wine chilled. After being at the table for over 10 minutes, I needed to ask for menus. We needed to ask repeatedly for water and at one point, I went to the back of the restaurant to get the water for the table. It was hot in the restaurant and the music was loud. The music was changed erratically throughout the meal until near the end of the meal, when there was no music or ambience. So odd! The food received was delicious. There was an issue of my ordering the pork chop but being served a lamb chop. I know the difference! The staff insisted I was given a pork chop. I did not eat it. By that time, the other people at my table were done with their food. I went to speak with the server discreetly at the back of the restaurant in attempts to resolve my concerns. The server returned to the table several times to argue about what we spoke about and insist I take a dessert and drink wine. I did not have an entree due to the incorrect meal being served and the insistence that I was served the correct meal. I made it clear that this was a special event but there was no attention given to that, not even a 'congratulations' on her dessert plate. Ultimately, Chef Freddy's Table was generous with the amount they deducted from the check but that wasn't the point of our visit. The point was to have a positive experience to celebrate an accomplishment. I am so disappointed! Suggestion: Maybe not go there on a Sunday, call the restaurant versus booking online or just adjust your expectations if this is a special event.

First, overall I'd say the food was very good on all five visits. The first two nights, I had dinner here. On the first night, I sat at the bar and enjoyed a bowl of the French onion soup and the halibut. The soup wasn't huge for $12, but it tasted good, and the halibut was quite flavorful. I didn't realize at the time, but they add in an 18% gratuity, so tip extra at your own risk. On the second night, I ate at a table with two coworkers. I had the chicken paillard, which was a large portion and also very good. Service was strong at both the bar and table on consecutive nights. For the three breakfasts, I pretty much had the same thing every day...an omelette with a side of fruit. It also came with potatoes, but it would've been nice if it came with toast or something similar without needing to pay extra. Again, food was good. Service the first day was fine. The next two days, the older gentleman providing service couldn't have cared less. I (and others) would show up at 6:30, when they opened, but nobody would be there. We'd sit ourselves and then wait. Eventually he'd show up. It was difficult getting coffee too, as both days, my cup sat empty for a long time until I'd eventually flag him down. Everything was on his time. I would've given him little/no tip...if the 18% wasn't already added in. The rest of the restaurant...food and service...gets a 5. This guy gets a 1. I probably should've given this a 3, but it didn't seem fair to everything/everyone else.
