    I like this place was not to loud in there so you could have a actually conversation, the food was very good I didn't explore to much in the menu but the wings and the wonton tacos we're good.. service was def fast we order and it was out pretty fast.. I think it turns into a night club late at night but that is for next time !

    What a wonderful gem we stumbled across. There's parling right before the venue, so be aware. Came in on a Friday night to meet a friend. We met at the bar and just sat there for appetizers and drinks. Our bartender was Top notch, 6 gentleman. We both got margarita flights, and he made sure the drinks were fresh and delicious. The food was pretty good. Ambiance, nice you with a swing photo op wall. They also had outdoor patio seating. I will be back.

    My girls and I loved this place! We specifically went for their Peruvian food which was DELICIOUS! Their drinks were on point. We enjoyed everything! Our server Jocelyn was super kind and patient! Cant wait to go back!

    This new spot has done it right! I came here to for a holiday gathering and was confused as to where this spot is. The parking lot is sort of tiny and right in front of a building that housed several businesses. Don't worry though. Park it and go up the steps... Once you walk through the first set of doors you have your outdoor enclosed seating. Plenty of it and it's warm and inviting. Then you go into the next set of doors which leads you to a colorful bar/restaurant area. The ambiance says come in and enjoy your time! Vibrant restaurant seating, the bar is full of life, and the high table-tops has several TV's for your sporting events. They have this tequila flight (3 drinks) that was SUPER delicious! The food SUPER delicious, especially their steak/shrimp and fried potato platter. I couldn't get enough from this place. It has a lot to offer for any type of night out... date night, game night, chill night. You won't be disappointed!

    Super underrated spot or maybe I just came on the wrong night, but definitely was in for a treat with all the food and drink option's. The place is perfect for a date night as it is cozy and nicely decorated. Menu has plenty of options, I almost had a hard time picking what to get. However, I was happy with everything that was ordered which included the margarita flight, the meat platter, and empanadas. Big plus is that there's a lot for parking. Will come back on a better and busier night hopefully.

    I went on a weekday mid-afternoon so the place was practically empty. However, we were greeted graciously by Fernando. As a first time customer, Fernando told me about their Happy Hour (3-6) and special events they have each week. We shared nachos with chicken first. Very tasty and the Verde sauce was terrific. The chicken wings we ordered were BBQ. The sauce was smoky and sweet. The cheeseburger I had was large and on a toasted bun. Very juicy, but not dripping down your arm greasy. This came with (sweet potato or) French fries, which were cooked to perfect crispness and salted appropriately. For beverages we had the white sangria and the Tasty Berry (rum and raspberry) shot. Both were from the happy hour menu and tasted great. I recommend Tavern 517!

    Service is exceptional! We were greeted right away! After a long day of working without eating , this spot did what it needed to do!! As soon as we sat down at the bar, Marco greeted us and took our drink order!! And the drinks I must say are hitting !!!! Specially made strawberry Long Island Iced Tea (substitute sprite instead of the coke) We ordered the garlic parm wings and they were phenomenal! As far as the ambiance!! Music on a Friday, it's expected but not too loud, you can still hold a convo and they can hear your correct order lol

    Pork Chop in Creamy Mushroom Sauce

    Brand new spot ( opened 1 month ago) but already rockin' it. Tasty cocktails, nice Happy Hour specials and really tasty food. The Grilled Pichana with Fried Yucca was a great starter. $20 sounds pricey but it's big enough for 2 or could even be an entree. Perfectly grilled steak with sautéed onions and a ridiculously good amount of garlic, you could smell it coming! Burgers are huge and the Pork Chop in Mushroom sauce was really good. Carolina, presumably the owner, was a presence in the dining room all night. Checking on the tables, making sure all was well. There were a few minor slip ups associated with a new restaurant but certainly nothing that was a deal breaker. Already planning on going back soon, this time in an Uber so I can take full advantage of Happy Hour (TWT 4-8) $5 drinks.

    Margaritas (happy hour item)

    Loved this place. Came here for happy hour and the food and drinks were really good. The service was amazing. Ambience was cute, you can definitely get great Instagram pics. Definitely returning to try out their Peruvian menu items.

    Definitely a cute date spot with nice bar area and outdoor seating offered. Friendly and nice staff and service. Happy hour specials are limited and I'd recommend to choose a cocktail vs the sangria. Chicken dumplings and nachos were delicious. Their tacos are okay but aren't anything special and as a taco enthusiastic I'd recommend to try something else from the menu.

    I got together with a friend of mine to get drinks at this spot. When I arrived I parked in the private lot. I walked in and got the Miami feel. I loved the decor of the place. We sat at the bar and Dee was our bartender. I seen they had happy hour and she told me it didn't apply on Saturdays anymore like advertised. She said when the manager Fernando comes she will see if her will honor it. While we waited I got the espresso martini and it was very tasty. When he did arrive he came over to us so pleasantly and introduced himself and said he would honor the happy hour prices which was very nice. My next drink was sangria which I didn't care for so stuck with red wine. My friend had the bay breeze which he liked. We mingled with the staff and enjoyed our time at this establishment.

    Came here with my family and what a fun vibe. Went around dinner on a Sunday and it was pretty slow but the service was very attentive. I got a cosmopolitan and steak tacos and YUM! Would love to come back and maybe sit in their cute outdoor area with fire pits.

My friend and I went at a normal time, and the place wasn't even busy. We originally ordered tacos and chaufa, but they brought us the wrong food. We told the server, and she said she'd go find the woman who took our order, but she never came back. After waiting about 20 minutes, we told another employee, and she also disappeared. Eventually someone finally came back and apologized, saying they were busy -- which would've been understandable, except the restaurant really wasn't crowded at all. At that point, we were tired of waiting and just ate the food they gave us. But paying $18 for 3 basic tacos is honestly ridiculous. Their solution was basically, "We can make the correct order, but it'll take even longer." Then they automatically added an 18% gratuity for just two people, even though the service was far from good. Overall, the food was very basic, the service was frustrating, and the whole experience just wasn't worth it. I wouldn't recommend this place.

With over 180 wing flavors to choose from, the only problem you will have is deciding because you will want to explore this seemingly never ending list. These are a couple of the wings I explored: Peanut Butter & Jelly Wings: These wings were smothered in creamy peanut butter with a heaping mound of jelly. At first I was reluctant to explore this unusual combination, but as soon as I gave it a try, it was love at first bite. Feel free to smear or dip; the choice is yours. S'mores Wings: This is another unique, but unbelievably savory combination. These dessert style wings were smothered in marshmallow cream, drizzled with chocolate syrup, and sprinkled with crushed pieces of graham crackers. It was a sight for sore eyes. If you need additional chocolate sauce don't be afraid to ask for "s'more." And make sure you request "s'more" napkins because you will certainly need them! In addition to the wings, I also explored one of the main courses. Blue 42 Burger: Named after the restaurant, this burger is topped with mozzarella sticks, blue cheese crumble and bacon. The Blue 42 char on top of the bun has a nice decorative touch. If you are a fan of the Green Bay Packers, you have come to the right spot. The interior is decorated with Packers memorabilia, which even includes wall art on the ceiling. All fans are still welcome even if you aren't an aficionado of the Packers. The restaurant staff also supports New Jersey's finest, New Jersey's bravest, the ambulance corp, and the armed forces. I truly enjoyed dining at this local bar and I see why their wings are high profile. #blue42 #wingman #wingmanblue42 #blue42elmwoodpark #blue42burger #smoreswings #smores #peanutbutterandjelly #peanutbutterandjellywings #pbj #pbjwings #elmwoodparknj #GreenBayPackersFans #njfinest #njbravest #AmbulanceCorp #armedforces

There is a real…read morecase here of not being able to see the forest for the trees when faced with nearly 200 varieties, many of which, upon closer inspection, amount to the same handful of flavors rearranged into slightly different combinations. It feels rooted in the same philosophy that says a man buys three suits and somehow discovers endless outfits within them. But is there anything wrong with just three good suits? Do all possible combinations truly have value? At what point does variety become a little ridiculous? That said, the bones -- so to speak -- are very good. The wings are fried well, generously sauced, and satisfying in whatever flavor palette you ultimately settle on. Just do not expect the decision-making process to come easily.
