Sunset Pub & Grill in Lincoln Park is a fantastic spot to grab a meal right by the runway at Lincoln Park Municipal Airport, offering smooth service and a great atmosphere. While the outdoor patio view provides a front-row seat to takeoffs and landings on the tarmac, the food itself cruises at a comfortable middle altitude -- decent tasting and generous portions, but just missing that extra kick to make it truly memorable. If you're coming to SP&G for the view, cold beverages, and a solid bite, it definitely hits the mark. This marks my second visit to a local airport restaurant in the last few weeks, which seems to make dining on an airport runway my new hobby. Sunset Pub & Grill offers a noticeably more polished experience compared to the super casual diner setup over at Greenwood Lake Airport. The layout here is genuinely inviting, featuring a warm indoor dining space and a comfortable outdoor patio situated right adjacent to the runway. Service was impressive from takeoff to touchdown. Even though the patio was packed on a Saturday evening, the hostess worked her magic and accommodated us with a table for two on the patio. Once we sat down, our food and beverages arrived promptly with zero turbulence or drama whatsoever. We kicked things off with the nachos and guacamole, which arrived as a generous mountain of crispy tortilla chips paired with solid guac. For entrees, my dining companion and I both went all-in on the house specialty blackened grouper. She opted for the fish taco delivery method served with a small side of coleslaw, while I went with the sandwich vehicle paired with french fries. While the food was executed reasonably well and wasn't bad by any means, both of us felt like there was a subtle spark missing that would have made the dishes truly special. Overall, it's a great spot with reliable service and a fantastic airport atmosphere with a fun runway view for aviation lovers of all ages -- even if the kitchen's flavor profiles could use just a tiny bit more spice to match the setting. PRO TIP: The small parking lot adjacent to the restaurant fills up quickly, but there's plenty of parking along Beaverbrook Road. read more

Sunset Pub & Grill - Grilled Grouper Sandwich - Pubs Near Me - Lincoln Park, New Jersey

I moved to this neighborhood about a year ago, and every time I drove toward Route 23, I would see this restaurant and wonder if it really had a view of the airstrip. This Father's Day, we finally got a chance to visit. We arrived around 7 PM and had to wait about 25 minutes for a table. It was a summer Sunday evening, so the place was busy. We didn't mind waiting outside near the airfield. Interestingly, the outdoor seating area was packed, while the indoor dining room was almost empty! Honestly, who would want to sit inside on a beautiful summer evening? There is also an outdoor bar facing the airfield. After about 20-30 minutes, we got our table. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. They also have live music performances during the summer, which adds to the experience. One of the highlights was watching the small planes take off and land at Lincoln Park Airport. We settled and ordered: * Boom Boom Shrimp - The portion size was a little small, but it tasted great. * Shrimp Scampi Pizza - We probably should have ordered the regular 12-inch pizza, but when the server suggested the 16-inch size, we went for it. It turned out to be way too much food for us! We finished only half and took the rest home. It was my first time trying a Shrimp Scampi pizza, and I really enjoyed it. The service was good, and overall everything was enjoyable. Families with kids would especially like this place since watching the planes is a lot of fun. Parking: on site- ample parking! Overall, it was a unique experience and a great memory. read more

Havent been here in a while and I must say the "return" was a very good experience! Dined on a weekday with the fam and had great service. Food was prompt, generous in portions and pretty good! Loved our orders of Bang2 shrimp, nachos and Penne vodka to name a few. Mocktails were delicious too! There is ample parking and of course the sunsets and airplane views were a plus!! read more

I want to love this place - the location, the decor, the views... but something always seems to leave me under impressed each time I give it another try. Burgers were tasty, beer was cold, but service continues to be underwhelming and lackluster. Always an odd experience visiting here. We asked to sit inside and despite the restaurant being virtually empty indoors, they seat us immediately next to the only other inside table that was occupied (???) ... I didn't come to make friends and some separation would have been nice. Oh well ... it's always something that seems to leave me scratching my head when I come here and the reviews and ratings seem to indicate others feel the same way. read more

Love me some visits to Sunset Pub! Came here as summer is winding down and caught a beautiful sunset. We had the caprese salad along with the honey sriracha wings. Sunset's wings are amazing!! The honey sriracha is sweet and spicy all at once. We also had the spiked calamari which was sooo good - it had balsamic and capers along with Kalamata olives. Service used to be slow but I'd say that Sunset had a lot more servers this summer than seasons past which really made a difference! Kyle and the other servers have been friendly, fast and efficient and have made a noticeable difference! read more

You go the Sunset Pub & Grill for the spectacle of watching the planes! And that's the only reason to go there! The food is consistently mediocre. The service is just awful! I mean the service is terrible! Now you know. read more

Came for lunch and a few beers. Ordered a couple apps to try. The Sriracha Honey Wings were average. Wouldn't order again. Blackened Chicken Quesadilla was loaded. Definitely my favorite. Too much cheese though. The Cheesesteak Pizza was off the specials menu. It was average. Wouldn't order again. Service was average. Beers were cold and the view is always good. read more

For ambience it's a good spot drinks are alright (regular don't expect a nice strong drink ) the view towards the plain runways nice to watch . Food is very unpleasant, temperature Of the food is very bad . None of our entrees were hot , not even warm . The buffalo quesadilla was very cold and the cheese and chicken proportions were completely off . /(we had asked if the same thing could be places on a bread , she replied "it depends on his mood" never came back and proceeded to bring out a quesadilla . That's fine second entree from the table was a Drunken Chicken Sandwich. 2-10 and that's only because the tater tots where party of the meal and even though they weren't crunchy that was the only edible part of my meal. We had the shrimp as an app it was ok but anywhere else is way better . Pulled pork sliders ? "They are so freaking dry"my dad says . Sunset used to be good but it's terrible now I don't recommend unless you just want a drink and a place to talk . But even then the waitress will take 30 minutes just to let you know she'll be with you shortly before even asking if you'd like to order a drink . Outside seating is very hot like very if it's a sunny day the experience becomes even worse. Have some money to spend for you and your family to be miserable ? Come to sunset grill ! read more

Casual place with a great outdoor area to watch the planes land and take off. Service was a little slow but we were not in a big rush. However we did have to ask for things like silverware and plates. Food was good, could have used more chicken on the sandwich. Chicken bacon ranch wrap was the better option. read more

My boyfriend and I have been here several times over the last 18 months. More recently we sat at the outside bar overlooking the airport. Watching the small aircraft takeoff and land was pretty cool. I opted for their beef nachos which came as a delicious looking heaping pile on a large tray and did not disappoint. My boyfriend had a salad which looked fresh and tasty. Previously we have had the mussel dish which was spectacular and highly recommended. All in all it's a cool little place to hang out and eat and enjoy the atmosphere. Definitely recommend read more

My two sisters, my niece and I got to the Grill at 6pm. We were seated immediately; outside. It was VERY Busy. The waitress gave us our Menu. We ordered our food. We waited for about 30 minutes. My sister got a Cheeseburger with Fries, I got a Hamburger with Onion Rings. My other sister got Tacos and my niece got a Salad with Chicken. We ALL enjoyed our food it was VERY Good and HOT. Although it was VERY BUSY a typical Friday Night. Our waitress was very good and attentive, juggling a few tables at a time. Unfortunately I didn't get her name . All the waiters helped each other out it was a real team effort. Everything Flowed VERY Smoothly it was NOT RUSHED or Chaotic. We will DEFINITELY be Back. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SUNSET GRILL In Lincoln Park to EVERYONE here on YELP and my Friends. AND I don't usually give 5 Stars to Any Place. read more

This place used to be so good , what happened? The service was next to horrible. We waited over half hour before we even got utensils- we even asked the bus boy for them and he looked at us like we had 7 heads. The food was decent still but nothing blown out of this world. The inside seating was completely dead, if the place as good as it once was it would be packed in and out. read more

Gorgeous premise next to an airport with indoor and a lot of outdoor seatings. Staff is very friendly even though they were extra busy because of a preschool graduation. My family was very happy with the seafood/fish dishes they said they were very fresh. I had the drunken chicken sandwich which I thought was ok, but everyone seems to enjoy their food. You can see the plane take off and stuff which is a one of a kind experience. read more

Been a few times since it re-opened and not sure what's new besides the sconces inside that make it brighter. Love love love Anthony and Aimee but where is Dave??!!!! They are the dream team with how busy it can get there. No one wanted to tell us. He was one of the best bartenders / servers there. Also - they need decaf espresso for martinis!!! Otherwise same old - great nachos, wings, burgers, and the carne asada tacos are unmatchable. read more

Ordered 2 soups 2 salads and a chicken vodka sandwich. Service was ok but took a long time to get our food even though the place was slow at the time. They forgot the chicken on my daughter's salad and she ordered a sprite and they gave her a lemonade. Also when asking for a second drink they forgot and took over 10 minutes to realize. My sandwich wasn't very good at all the salads were good though.The Ambiance is always nice here and we have had better service in the past. Hopefully it was just a bad day. read more

Kyle was an amazing server!!! spinach artichoke dip was trash and salty as hell. food mediocre, kinda over priced for it being not great. Vibe was good . Kyle made the experience perfection read more

I came with a group of 8 and was unpleasantly surprised to find mold inside not one, but all of the plastic straws. My 2 year old son and I (pregnant) both drank with moldy straws before I realized where the foul taste was coming from. I brought it to my waiter's attention to not hear another word about it. They took the straws, I'm sure to remove proof, and no manager or anyone came to address the health code issue. On top of that, my sandwich did not come out until the rest of the party had almost finished their food. My son liked the planes but unfortunately I cannot imagine returning to a place that does not address health issues such as mold consumed by customers. read more

First time ever doing a yelp review but so outraged I had to comment on a visit to this place this past Friday night. Cool place located on a small airport in Lincoln Park NJ. Every Friday my brother and I do a couple beers at various locals, after visiting my younger brother at his nursing home. Happy hour at Sunset grill on Friday was crowded but it was a nice night, and we were happy to get the attention of a very hard-working young lady who poured us a couple Maine Lunch after a long week and another depressing visit at the nursing home. I handed her a $20 and almost dropped my beer when she said sorry it wasn't enough. BAR tab for 2 12oz drafts was $25! That's over 3X the average mark up for draft beer. Boy did I feel violated. Don't go here unless you are well lubricated. read more

I will say if you can make a reservation that's best but they do accommodate walk in's! The outdoor sitting area is great, especially watching the planes take off. The food is always so delicious and staff is extremely polite. Our favorite go to spot on a beautiful evening read more

Sunset Pub & Grill - Blackened Cod tacos (amazing!) - Pubs Near Me - Lincoln Park, New Jersey

Came here for a music gig a while back and didn't stay long. The service was terrible -- I never received any bartending service because the staff was too busy goofing around, and at one point a bartender was even on the ground. It was disappointing, especially since I know plenty of people who come here regularly. I can't speak to the food since I never got that far, but I really hope they improve their customer service and overall guest experience. As it stands, it's not a place I'd recommend. read more

We enjoyed our brunch here and the vibe is great. Very welcoming not super bright with an outdoor bar and a second floor we didn't even see. I will agree we spent more here than we typically do but the food/drinks were good and we didn't wait like everyone else said. I'd go again. read more

We really like this place but were disappointed that the octopus dish was taken off the menu. We are hoping it will be brought back soon.

Nachos are always better when served with tongs . Not only does @sunsetpubandgrill serve awesome food and drinks, they offer a unique dining experience-you can watch the sunset as private plane land! Yes that's right, it's right next to a private airport! Live music, good food and a beautiful sunset makes this place a hidden gem! Insta: @thehungrysw read more

Wow. Back at Sunset and no Dave????? What?? Only go there for the bartenders and friendly staff. It was tough on the community to have our favorite watering hole close for weeks. But to come back to no Dave. Not good. The chemistry of the bartenders is the winning combo at Sunset. Come back Dave. read more

Came for their reopening. Had to sit in the back bar area. Bartender was annoyed with everything. Sent back my wine. It tasted like it had been sitting since they closed. Gentleman next to us had to send back his beer it tasted so bad. Bartender was annoyed with everything and everyone who wasn't a regular. Dropping the F bomb every other sentence. Bartender is also doing shots behind the bar. We are local and have always enjoyed the pub. It's dirty and rundown not sure what they closed for renovations for nothing changed. read more

I haven't been here in awhile and I see why. This place has become nothing more than a place for drinks at best outside during nice weather- the service is horrible, there is a lack of management involved, seems like a bunch of college kids learning how to manage a pub. Food is mediocre at best. read more

I really don't understand why this place has 2.5 stars. I don't think it's too expensive either. Fairly priced and tasty food. We ordered chicken wings, mussels and clams, and cheesesteak. The cheesesteak was honestly really good. I haven't had one in YEARS and it met my expectations for exactly what a cheesesteak should taste like. The service was very nice. We had Robyn and she was very accommodating and kind. Am I expecting Micheline Star food? No. But for what it is I'd say it's a solid 4 stars. American style food and everything was well cooked and tasty. We had an excellent time. The live music was great and the food was good. And to be watching planes take off was such a nice and unique touch. I'd definitely come back! read more

Food is great. The wait staff are wonderful. Very relaxing atmosphere. I can't wait to go back.

From last month. I'd rate McDonalds higher than this place....from the food to the service. Wonder if it's absentee owner.

We had appetizers that totaled $18.63. I would have tipped $8.00. When I received my visa statement last week, the total was $38.63. The cashier on April 27th gave herself an extra $12. Be aware. read more

Came here for St Patty's day to celebrate a friend's birthday. I'm not a big fan of corn beef and cabbage but others said it was good. They now have new pizza oven so I had the margarita it was big enough for 2 people to share and very good! We also drank green beer. They have bands perform there but it's is a very small area and there was no room for us to watch which was very disappointing, When the weather is nice you can sit outside which is great you can watch the small planes come in or take off. Best time is to go is during sunset. read more

We found this place while driving on 202. We are new to Jersey and found this bar/restaurant on the end of a small airport. Food and drinks were served promptly. Food was tasty with many items to order. The servers were friendly and accessible. Being from NY the price was compatible read more

The weather was finally nice and this was a great choice! We got a drink at the outside bar where the baseball game was on. Quickly after we sat outside, and get to see some planes land and take off! It's very relaxing and entertaining also. So unique. Then we ate, the food was all very good, the rice balls were a table favorite! Even if it's not nice day, the inside looked so nice and cozy as well with nice bar inside. We'll definitely be back! read more

Had a wonderful experience with my wife at Sunset Pub and Grill which I had not been to in a few years prior. The weather was perfect the day we went and was a fantastic experience. Food: we chose an appetizer of calamari which has some delicious peppers tossed in. Very lightly fried. I chose the Sunset Burger which was whopping (ate too much I'd say) and my wife chose the appealing shrimp tacos which was also delectable. Service; despite being very busy (1 hour wait as we were leaving), our waitress was helping us the best she could. Very courteous . Aesthetic: being situated right on the airstrip on a beautiful mid-day Sunday, can you ask for anything more? read more
