The food was very tasty and good sized portions. Liked the coffee bar during brunch that you could help yourself to. Service was attentive but not intrusive. read more

I have a bit of a bias against this place and it's not really against THIS place at all. After my father died my mom spent a lot of time here to cope when it used to be Freddy's. Some might say too much time. Some might say. So I just typically avoid the area because it brings back so much...stuff. When it transitioned to Stateside sometime during the early days of the pandemic we did get take out once and it was delicious - I still dream about the Brussels sprouts. But it was a bit expensive when everyone was dying and all. Like am I really gonna risk my life for $16 sprouts? I think not. Now I think it's under new - new management. My cousin stopped by there about a month ago when she was in the area and gave it great reviews. I was feeling A Kind of Way a couple of weekends ago and just really wanted a cold beer. So me and huzzo stopped in. Service was good and beer was solid. This week I wanted another beer. Blame your president as he insists upon annihilating everyone and sending our collective pressure through the roof. We arrived about 20 minutes before the end of Happy Hour and snagged a couple of beers as well as wings and a shrimp quesadilla. The food was great but the service was the real stunner. I found myself stuck between two beers and the bartender suggested Arnold Palmering it and going halfsies on both. Fantastic decision - the mixed drink was refreshing and tart without being too pedestrian or too far afield. Food came out quickly and deliciously. Saved $15 on food prices alone during Happy Hour. Fat things: The bar stools are excellent - steel with a wide seat and a foot bar so your legs don't fall asleep. And they don't pack too many of them in so it's easy to get into and out of your seat without bumping someone else. Other stuff: They have regular indoor seating and an outdoor seating area on the side with couches, high table, and heat lamps. Overall, the space is open, airy, bright, and clean. It's pretty packed when the temps warm up but shoulder season is very nice for us right now. Be advised: Regular menu prices still seem steep - like everything else these days. But the food is good and they have a very nice craft beer selection. If you can't make happy hour and are looking to treat yourself this might be it. We'll def return! read more

Laidback restaurant that still feels upscale. Came for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of drinks. They have a huge selection of food and apps and lots of seating on a weekday evening, which is great for big groups. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Stateside Tap + Tavern - Cauliflower and nachos - New American Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

Started off well and went quickly downhill. It's a very nice space, and accessible if you're using mobility equipment of any kind. Little loud, but that was OK. We got seated right away, and server came quickly and was helpful in making a drink selection. We Got our drinks and appetizer relatively quickly, but after we placed our entree order the server completely disappeared. Someone else brought our food and we literally didn't see anyone else until we hunted someone down to ask for a check. We were not offered more drinks, no one asked how things were going. Nothing. Food was good but would not go back. read more

Came here on a Friday evening. Our server was nice but a bit slow. We ordered the fiesta chicken wrap and Nashville hot sandwich, both with fries. The food came out fairly quick, but was luke warm. The fries tasted horrible and old like they have been sitting out for a long time. The waitress took a very long time to come back. When she did we ordered dessert. We ordered the bread pudding and creme brûlée cheesecake. She warned us that the bread pudding would take a while, which we were ok with. Upon the desserts arrival, the bread pudding was luke warm, and the cheesecake wasnt that good. It then took a long time for us to get the check. This is a one and done for me. read more

The food was excellent. Large portions and tasty drinks. After our visit and then reading other reviews of other experiences it was shocking to see how similar they were. We were quickly sat, got our water, drinks, and put in our order and then... our server disappeared. We didn't see her for a long time and flagged a staff member to grab her. She came, took our second drink order and then we did not see her for the rest of the night. She didn't stop in to say she was handing us off to another server, nothing. We ended up being served the rest of the night by random servers. read more

Absolutely love Stateside Tavern. Great ambiance, and service. We ordered the scallops which were cooked to perfection! Will definitely be back soon. read more

Sat at the bar for Taco Tuesday. Enjoyed some local craft beers, trivia night, and Tuesday night specials. Went with the mole wings and chicharonnes with guac. The wings were a little dry but good flavor and great amount of meat. The chicharonnes were not as I imagined, more like fried pork than the typical fluffy skins but they were amazing, salty and flavorful and paired perfectly with the guac and chips! Overall it was a great visit and recommend this place for the food, brews, and vibes. read more

BRING YOUR APPETITE!! I came for happy hour and stayed for the vibes.There are 3 menus and a separate menu for taco Tuesday.The main bartender was informative but didn't give me a second to decide.I let him know it's my first time visiting and he suggested anything with the short rib.The happy hour features $10 small plates.I opted for the Birria Quesadilla and Caribbean jerk wings.The wings were really hard with a bunch of seasoning but no taste.The Quesadilla was where all the flavor was and it came with a salad.I wasn't expecting so much food from a $10 menu.I can't wait to come back for taco Tuesday read more

Popped in for a last minute lunch. Haven't been here in over a year, but was eager to return because I heard they updated the menu. Got the Cobb Salad with Chicken, Chicken Caesar Wrap and Beignets. All Amazing!! Only complaint is the drinks could have been stronger, but otherwise everything was great. Nicole the bartender was very knowledgeable and attentive. Restaurant was nice and quiet midday. Will definitely be back. read more

Some good old fashioned standard pub fare with an above average eclectic playlist! Absolutely nothing wrong with that on a late Summer night. Donna Summer, Cheap Trick, Van Halen & Billy Ocean? Check! The guac was fresh, the chips were crispy and salted, the quesadillas were warm & hearty and the music was just loud enough for peak vibes but not to the point where it was obnoxious. Cute decor, lots of drinks and apps to choose from, happy hour specials on the weekend and an eclectic 70s, 80s & 90s playlist right in Somerset so no need to venture to New Brunswick! read more

The service in the food along with the happy hour selections are wonderful. nice atmosphere, pleasant servers.

All day happy hour on Sundays! That's all I need to say, but I'll add that Stateside is a great place to meet up with people. The food is good, the drinks are great, and even better at happy hour prices. Ample seating choices and nice beer menu. Staff was attentive and pleasant, checked in on us at just the right times. read more

Large bar area open to the dining area which is simplistic in style. Noise from bar definitely impacts dining atmosphere. Took longer than expected (about 20 minutes with only 5 seated tables at the time of visit) to get short rib poutine, but 5 on the taste and size!!! Puebla quesadilla with shrimp was excellent, with the shrimp diced so there was a huge amount, although one slice had 3 small pieces. Establishment is at the end of a strip mall and has garage doors on one side that could open for summer weather. Nice "once and done" experience read more

The atmosphere is amazing, I went with family for a 5:30 dinner and the service was great! The waiters were very polite and we actually got out appetizer before we ordered dinner! We got the pretzel logs as our appetizer and they were delish! The mustard had a very strong horseradish taste (I love horseradish!) and the beet cheese was just the right about of buttery. For dinner, I had the fiesta chicken wrap and WOW! So flavorful. I substituted the fried buffalo chicken for grilled buffalo chicken and was very happy with the option to do so. Others in my party ordered the pesto chicken panini and bourbon smash burger, and they were equally happy with their orders. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area again!! read more

Took forever. We ended up just paying for our drinks and left. Felt like the waiter was no where to be found and when he was, he was serving only selected tables and forgot about us. Worst part was it was not that busy. Disappointed in the service had to ask someone else that was not my server for my check. Just horrible!!! read more

Our party of 4 adults and two toddlers tried this place, as it was close to the hotel and had some good Yelp reviews. It has something for everyone on the menu, and they will prepare children's orders such as pasta with butter or chicken nuggets upon request. We ordered: Crispy Cauliflower Stateside Sliders Short Rib Poutine Fish & Chips Paremsan Pesto Penne Short Rib Dinner Brisket Sliders Spicy Tuna Small Plate Churros Vanilla Bean Cheesecake Overall, it was a good dinner, with good service. There were some winners and losers that I sampled, and here are my findings: Winners: + Crispy Cauliflower (delicious) + Parmesan Pesto Penne (tasty, nice sauce) + Brisket Sliders (delicious) Losers: - Stateside Sliders (dry) - Spicy Tuna Small Plate (where's the tuna - didn't like this dish at all?!) It's a loud place, with high ceilings and no sound absorbing materials to be found. It's an echo chamber. That said, we enjoyed the dinner, and would certainly return. read more

Love the modern yet cozy feel of this restaurant. It feels clean & spacious. We go there often from work for lunch. The appetizers are delicious especially the cauliflower bites and the salmon is TO DIE FOR!!! Perfectly cooked & delicious!!! Comes with risotto and asparagus & chilli oil that gives it the perfect zip. Kudos to the chef!! I get salmon wherever I go and this place hands-down has the best made one. My coworker got the ramen & she said it was really good. She would've preferred a little bit more broth but overall excellent. Any time we have visitors at work. I always recommend this restaurant because I know they won't be disappointed with the food. Keep up the great work!! read more

Stateside Tap + Tavern - Blackened Salmon - New American Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

Nice selection of brews. Great service. Reasonable prices. Very roomy inside which is great. The Stateside Tavern Pretzel - Our Colossal Pretzel, Stone Ground Dijon Mustard + Homemade Beer Cheese, to start for the table was great. Generally I'm not a mustard fan, but this one had a horseradish bite to it that was amazing. The Hot Nashville Chicken - Buttermilk Marinated Fried Chicken, Aged Cheddar, Slaw, Garlic Mayo, Pretzel Brioche, House Cut Fries, was a perfect option for dinner. Not too hot but definitely spicy enough. The only reason this really popped up on my radar was the JetBlue card promotion email. I am new to how that works but it was a nice bonus in coming here and I am glad I found another great semi local spot to bookmark. read more

If I could leave a zero star review, I would. I brought my dogs here to enjoy a nice night out and I was very rudely informed by the manager Chris that I can't feed my dogs french fries there. When I calmly informed him that I had brought my dogs there before and it had never been an issue, he got loud and aggressive and then stepped towards me like he was going to get physical. I held up my hands in surrender, calmly stated that I wasn't trying to start a problem, and left before things escalated further. read more

I'll start off by saying they have a great draft beer selection. The food was good but not great. It has so much potential to be a great bar/restaurant. However, the floor was super sticky and the place is run by young kids. It lacks proper management. I would probably give it another chance but it may be better for appetizer and drinks rather than dinner. read more

Came here two Sundays in a row and the bartender Allison was amazing, very friendly people in there as well. The service was on point and really fast. We enjoyed brunch liken no other and we'll definitely coming back for sure. read more

Service is way too slow. Took 1.5 hours from when we got there to when we left. One waiter, and there were three - four other tables with customer. Took the waiter 20 minutes to get us water and take our order. Way too slow. Food was flavorful. But can't take this much time for a business lunch. read more

Just finished a round of golf, the starter recommended so our foursome rolled in. Greeted immediately upon entering and sat immediately. Probably should have sat at the bar, since we were sat at the high top by the door. Oh well, our mistake. Server greeted us soon after we were sat and took our drink order. One guy ordered a Transfusion, they didn't have grape juice, so he switched up. Took a while to get his drink, but the server was slammed. Seemed like he had the entire restaurant and the place was pretty big and decent crowd. Our appetizers weren't bad. Liked the nachos, nice move with the thicker chips. The calamari was mid. I ordered the Somerset Cheesesteak and can't complain. Certainly have had better. Not sure why they didn't cut it in half also. One guy got a salad with beef. Looked good. Drinks were tasty. Overall, the food was okay, drinks decent and service meh. Served it's purpose tho and with that I'll give it a first down read more

Food is amazing! Had a retirement party there and Amy, our hostess, was very kind and helpful with my needs. The room was really nice. It even had a pool table for some entertainment. Service was outstanding as well. I highly recommend Stateside Tap & Tavern for dinner or your next event. read more

It was okay but there are plenty of other better options. The wait staff sat us in a dimly lit area and the overall ambiance felt blah. Maybe it's better on a weekend night. read more

Went back for happy hour with some friends and we had a FEAST! The service was interesting as we had three different people tend to us and there were two times a friend had to physically get up to get the attention of the waiter/waitress. However, the food was pretty good especially for the price. Drinks were a bit watered down (which was expected since it was happy hour) but still decent. Of all the items I tried, the calamari, meatballs and short rib poutine were the best. We also tried the stateside tavern pretzel which tasty as well. Overall, I would visit this place again. read more

Stopped in for dinner because I waited late to find dinner. This was located less than 10 mins from my hotel so I decided to give them a try. I started with the buffalo cauliflower. There wasn't any buffalo flavor. It was crispy and tasted ok with the side of blue cheese. I also ordered the classic burger medium well. It was cooked closer to well done and the bun was overly toasted. The burger didn't have a lot of flavor. Not sure I'll be back. read more

Our waitress Deanna was great! We ordered from the happy hour menu which has a lot of good options.

Great food! Great staff! Great find! Stopped in for dinner on a rainy night- was pleasantly surprised!

Lots of Parking at this restaurant and no wait on a Saturday night. The food at this restaurant is outstanding. I tried the sliders, calamari, and shrimp tacos and it was enough for me to know that anything you order off this menu would be delicious. The restaurant has a casual industrial vibe, and there is plenty of bar seating for catching a game. Looks like they have some good happy hour deals as well. The only downside to this place is that the food and drinks are pricy, especially for a bar and grill, but the quality of food you get makes up for the price. read more

The posted hours are incorrect. Says 11pm close time. But grill closed at 9:15pm. My food was cold and seemed to be leftovers. We came on a very stormy night. In fact the storms headlined the news the next day. The Tavern was pretty empty. I don't know. But my beef short rib was ok. The wait staff was nice enough though. Won't be going back though. read more

I've dined in since my first review and I'm really glad I did. I've really enjoyed my recent visits! Stopped by on Saturday night and sat at the bar area. The bartender was super attentive and friendly. I ordered an old fashioned and it was perfect! I had the classic burger, really enjoyed the flavor. The fries were nice and crunchy just how I like them. My mom had the braised short rib. Not only did it look delicious but it tasted amazing! Im planning on ordering during my next visit. I've also tried the fried eggplant sandwich and quesadilla. Both were enjoyabl read more
