Great ambiance, nice service, good food. I was worried that it would be noisy, but it was not. Not a big fan of their BBQ sauce, but overall the pulled pork and ribs were decent. Brownie dessert was delicious. read more

Ally our server made our Easter lunch perfect. 19 people and she didn't miss a beat! And so pleasant. Two spilled drinks and it didn't ruffle her feathers at all she was awesome. Had our afternoon cap with Cassidy at the bar on the way out and she was just as Pleasant! Thank you for another great day at the cabin!! read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem--especially on weeknights--for a delicious, reasonably priced meal. I ate at the bar, where the bartender was not only skilled but also a great conversationalist. I'm always torn between ordering the pizza or the steak since both are outstanding. I often start with the French onion soup, which is flavorful, brothy, and never overly salty. Last week, I had the strip steak, perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The ambiance feels like an old cabin (no surprise there!) and I love it--it reminds me of Steve's Sizzling Steaks by the Meadowlands. All in all, it's a fantastic spot with great food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. read more

First time going and had steak filet mignon, It had such a weird smell and looked old. wine taste like it came out of a box. To top it all off the bathrooms are disgusting!!!! I took pictures of the men's bathroom that showed dry, spit all over the wall in the stall, even the door to exit the stall. When I tried to tell the hostess, she was just like I don't need to see that we'll take care of impression that she knows that nobody cleans . read more

Well, let me start with the onion rings were very good. The pizza was very bland and had almost no sauce on it. The muscles marinara on their special list we sent back because they were cold so they promised us a new one and the second one tasted like a reheard heated Version of the first one and the muscles were rubbery tough. We will not order those again. The black ties were playing and they were an excellent band. I would go there again just to drink and watch a band there ,bartenders were very nice. read more

The Cabin Restaurant - Pepper & onion pie - Sports Bars Near Me - Freehold, New Jersey

Note to The Cabin management...when regular customers make a reservation way in advance for a night to see a band and have dinner, having specified that in the reservation, saving them a table by the band is the right thing to do. The wrong thing to do is make them wait a half hour past their reservation time when the band is already playing and then stick them in another room where they can't even see the band! Then treat us like we were being unreasonable to ask to sit by the band! On top of that, we told you of a special occasion in our party that involved the restaurant history and the manager literally rolled his eyes and shrugged me off, when I asked if they could bring a piece of cake or do SOMETHING to mark the occasion! ignored and never did. Doesn't matter how good the food or entertainment are, when customer service sucks, the whole experience sucks! Ruined an entire evening for 6 people. Shame on you!!! Been a patron for more than 25 years. Never again! read more

I have to write this review because how bland the food was. We went for St. Patrick Day. We ordered the potato pancake appetizer, corn beef and cabbage dinner and soda bread. The pancakes had no flavor. The dinner was the worst, it literally had no flavor. Everything was boiled in plain water and served plain. They never tried to flavor anything. It was boiled food, I never thought you could screw up a boiled dinner but I was wrong. The soda bread was so over toasted it fell apart when you tried to butter it. We brought a group and we won't be back. I think the Corporate Chef should be more hands on because this was bad, I can't imagine how Moores was. read more

I LOVE the Cabin. Staff was so friendly and accommodating to my dog. They even offered a pup cup TWICE without me asking. Plus the French Dip is so. good. The live music that they have is a perfect ambience too. read more

Went there with some friends for some drinks and live music. The staff was very accommodating. They first seated us by the dining area because we were a group of 6. There was no space in the area where the band was playing. Later, they allowed us to move closer to where the band was as a booth cleared up. They did a great Malibu Bay Breeze for my wife, a gin martini for myself. Later I had two whiskey sours and a coconut mojito for my wife. The band playing (named 9 South) was really awesome. For bites, we had their calamari and the nachos. All were pretty good. We all danced most of the night. I also befriended their saxophone player after their performance. This is definitely worth coming back to. read more

I have been to the cabin 6 or 7 times in the last 2 or 3 years. They get great bands, however their food is not great. We were there Friday night to see The Ruckus (great band). We each had a few beers and ordered nachos. Usually it is the most edible thing in the menu. We have had some stuff that is just gross and Nachos are th best bet there. These nachos are chips with cheese melted in the microwave and chili and some toppings dumped on top. Our nachos had an awful lot of their chili on the , most of the chips were a sodden mess, but the real issue is that both my stomach and my wife's both felt off a couple of hours later and have continued to bother us since. We will never go back there, no matter what. No band is worth having to go to that place. read more

Not happy with service today. Waited for over an hour for a pizza. Never did get it. Ending having to leave.

What happened to the Boom Boom sauce????? The change was disappointing Not even spicy!!!! And did I taste a hint of Caesar??? Since when is Caesar in Boom Boom???? Bring the old back PLEASE read more

Went here recently with several people. The fried calamari was very much over cooked, it was actually crunchy. The mashed potatoes had a bad taste to them as maybe they were leftover from the previous day. I will say the Oklahoma Onion burger was very good, and the prime rib was pretty big as well as being the most expensive item we purchased on this visit. Going forward, this will be a burger place for me. This was my third visit and it just doesn't impress me read more

My wife, daughter and I ate there last night (July 27, 2025). We ordered three different things. A large sausage, mushroom and peppers pizza, the brisket platter which came with cornbread, baked beans, sides of bbq sauce and some onion rings as our one side choice and lastly they were able to provide something for my daughter that they used to have on the menu....a bbq chicken breast platter with Mac and cheese and the other first accompaniments from the brisket platter. After waiting 45 minutes from when we sat down I made an inquiry as to when the food would be arriving. The waitress stated that because the pizza is made from scratch that alone takes about 25 minutes. No problem in my book. Then the food arrived. Unfortunately the pizza was cold and surprisingly not good. My daughters chicken was plain and dry. The Mac and cheese was bland. The brisket although flavorful was cold as well. To their credit (which is why I think it deserved a two star rating and not lower) the manager was sincerely apologetic and tried to make things right. They took the chicken and pizza back. Heated up the pizza and tossed the chicken in some bbq sauce while at the same time removing both from the bill (we did not ask for this). In spite of their efforts the food simply wasn't very good. We didn't even mention the brisket to them because at least it tasted good...and the onion rings were crunchy and sweet. Overall In my humble opinion this establishment has to be removed from our rotation simply because it isn't nearly as good as it used to be. A fall from grace for sure. read more

This restaurant used to be a good place to grab lunch or dinner. It used to have good service. Can't say that any longer. I was so embarrassed taking my son in law there for his birthday. The food was mediocre. My dinner was supposed to come with soup or salad. Our server didn't offer either and I had to remind her twice about it. During our dinner we were plagued with flies and gnats. They should have given us all a fly swatter with our menus. I don't think we will be going back k any time soon. read more

Food was pretty good. We had potato pancake appetizer with homemade applesauce. I thought they were pretty good. I had the shrimp po' boy which was a special and BF has the pork schnitzel, which were both specials. We enjoyed both. Bread for po' boy was soft and very good. Service was pretty sick. Waitress was amazing, friendly, offered suggestions. Place wasn't overly loud. Would definitely go back read more

Went for lunch. Ordered the bbq brisket Mac and cheese. I warned my friend it wasn't gonna be what he thought and he would get sick. ( he has a week stomach). Sure enough it came, he ate it and got sick 30 minutes later . Now my meal. I have been craving furies chicken for a week. Ordered e fried chicken and mashed potatoes. Chicken came out obviously pre frozen stuff like from Costco. No taste at all. And not one spot of oil which was confusing . So dry I couldn't even eat more than a few bites of the skin. Waitress who was very nice said they are making new mashed potatoes be out in a few. Ok ten minutes later we call her over and ask are the potatoes coming? She says oh I forgot to tell you they told me again that they have to make them so they won't be ready til tonight. Ok so she offered a baked potato. Which was obviously from the day before and microwaved to heat it. The skin was shrunken and mushy. And frozen butter. I was so disappointed. Wasted 72.00 for lunch. And on top of that I spent an hour in the bathroom as soon as I got home. The place is nice. Although the air conditioning blowing on you directly was annoying and cold. I can only assume that they cater to people there to drink and don't care what the food taste like. Awful. read more

We had a slight issue with our food and cooking preferences. MARK, the manager, went ABOVE AND BEYOND to resolve our concerns. The staff considered our issues with the utmost regard and MARK resolved them IMMEDIATELY. The band was awesome, the drinks were awesome. I highly recommend The Cabin. read more

My husband and I went to the Cabin the other evening for a quick bite and I recently noticed that they took the boom boom burger off the menu. I did ask our waiter who was fantastic Preston B if they could possibly make it and he said absolutely, and when my burger came out, it was delicious. My husband had the mushroom burger and he said that was delicious as well and as always, their burgers are so huge you really can't finish them. Thank you again Preston for the great service and a great smile. read more

Great atmosphere, welcoming service, and amazing food. The pulled pork grilled cheese was amazing!

We went there Thursday night for country night after hearing it advertised all day on Thunder 106 country radio station. Drove 20 miles to get there. The band that was there was NOT a country band. They mostly played 80s rock and occasionally played a country song but not well. It was more like karoke country. Food was OK but not something I would go back for. read more

The Cabin Restaurant - Us at a table - Sports Bars Near Me - Freehold, New Jersey

The Cabin has has been in this location for quite some time. They have made significant changes since the pandemic to their credit. Years ago I would have called it a dive bar, definitely not so today. The atmosphere is very positive and cheerful. The booths and the bar areas have all been remodeled CDC compliant. The TV's have been updated in both bars. There's also a huge tent in the rear of the premises for outdoor dining, weather permitting. Multiple parking spaces. We ordered a pizza and beers, both excellent Kudos to our server, Melissa!!! read more

I am visiting my family here in Jersey and came for good bbq. The food was very good. Unfortunately our server was not very nice and ran after us because she was not happy with us about her tip. We left about a 14% tip and she was upset that we did not leave more. So we gave her another $40 and will not be returning to this restaurant. W read more

Solid spot, and I'm not referring to the stout log cabin construction. Able, friendly staff, roadhouse atmosphere, rustic vibe in the air. We started with a fried shrimp dumpling appetizer-but sharing 5 pieces for 2 is always difficult! Anyway, our cheeseburgers were properly char grilled, beefy in flavor (chuck, short rib, sirloin blend), and served on a locally baked Kaiser roll. Adorable space, on the correct side of not too kitschy, clean restrooms, ample parking too. read more

Appetizers were great, but the ribs seemed undone and just smothered in liquid smoke and cheap BBQ sauce. Still smelled it on my hands when I got home. Wife's filet medallions were bland with a terribly salty sauce. Service was almost too quick, maybe more time cooking the food would've made the ribs better. read more

Pretty decent place. Service was good and price was normal for an American sports bar feel. Drinks were pretty good too and menu get you a lot of options. Typical food like the burgers were good, but the "new advertised slow cook smoked meats" were very disappointing. Dry and overcooked brisket, and pull pork dry and hard. I don't know if it was because they're pack with a bike group and they were understaffed or if the cook still doesn't know how to work with the new a large smokers. But for someone that loves smoked meats it was very disappointing read more

The Cabin Restaurant - Menu - Sports Bars Near Me - Freehold, New Jersey

Use to go here a lot. First time in about a decade with my wife and two friends. Food was horrible. My French dip, came without the dip and the cheese was congealed. My wife's brisket sandwich had minimal meat and was really a BBQ sauce sandwich. My friends wife had the strawberry salad with chicken. It had ONE, 1, only ONE strawberry sliced thin. My friend had the corned beef sandwich which was about 1/5 the size of a jewish deli corned beef sandwich. The only thing that was good was my steamed veggies. Obviously will never return again. The ambiance was great, the food, not so much. I think even Wawa subs are better and Wawa subs have been degraded since the pandemic. read more

Please don't make the mistake we made in coming here after reading the mixed reviews and hoping for the best. We are sorry to say that the the food was very bland with no flavor at all, it was quite disturbing to be eating something without a taste. My husband who will eat anything as long as it's doused with ketchup, could not stomach the food. We were really hopeful that this would be an enjoyable experience by the cozy atmosphere. Instead, we were very much disappointed by the food that was completely lacking in flavor. The service was fine, everyone was friendly. read more

Ambiance was relaxing, service was top notch, food was top notch. Quality food, will definitely be back... read more

Go to spot on Mondays for the pizza and wing promotion!!! Service was spot on. Server (forgot the name) but she was female and non descriptive But she asked if we wanted another drink at the right moment. We ordered wings and she left extra napkins. We also ordered the pizza and she changed out the plates(nice touch). As we finished up the immense amount of food, we were asked if we would like dessert. Funny because we were so full. But then the cherry on top came, she turned and asked if we'd like an after dinner drink instead. Which we kindly obliged and order an espresso martini. All in all a great place. Lastly, though a manager, tall gentleman checked to make sure everything was good at our table. read more

My husband and I went here last night and it was super fun and the food was great. I'm a vegetarian but he's not and there were a ton of options for both of us, which is not always the case! Our server Renee was so nice and accommodating, we will probably make this our new spot! read more

I was looking at the reviews and they were questionable, personally I had a great time with my friend there. The menu was a bit over priced but what isn't nowadays. The brisket wasn't amazing but it was great, Mac and cheese was delicious along with the pulled pork. The ambiance is ok nothing special so no good or bad with that. But the service though, let me tell you the guy that served us was amazing. He might be the reason I go back. Friendly attitude, outgoing personality, funny, patient, but overall a great guy. Ended up tipping 30 just cus I was satisfied. Only small complain is the desserts, insanely sweet but still good. Definitely going back soon I'll update when I go back read more

The food was great last night. Our server Renee was wonderful! She was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. We will be back!

This used to be my go to spot and the BEST pizza around! Now it's like Red Barons red headed step child! ... worst frozen pizza ever! No flavor, no cheese, no anything! Everyone at my table agreed! I will say the Nachos were very good but the buffalo wings tasted like BBQ... Service was awesome tho! Give that girl a raise for having to serve that crap pizza!!!! read more

Went on Taco Tuesday. Both the brisket and pork tacos were tasty but the skimpiest taco ever eaten. The three tacos were meagerly filled so all three on the plate added up to one taco. Wished I took a picture of the street corn. It was about one fourth of an ear on a stick. Chips on side were plentiful and pico de gallo was in a tiny cup. I still like the atmosphere but not enough to return for Tiny Taco Tuesday. read more

We arrived around 5:45 Wednesday night and were seated immediately. We placed our orders, a bar pie for my wife, and their Prime Rib for me. ( the PRIME RIB is very good and was the main reason for the visit) , Thirty minutes after we placed our orders our waitress informed that the entrees would soon be out. 10 minutes later, at the 40 minute mark, I was informed that there was no more prime rib and I would have to choose something else...and my wife's pizza arrived a minute later. Why did it take 40 minutes after I ordered to let me know? That's a major screw up and someone from management should have stopped by the table to apologize. My wife finished her dinner before my second choice emerged from their kitchen. I had mine boxed to go. We left, soured by this sub-par experience. The Cabin has long been our go to for BBQ and Bar Pies, it will be awhile before I will return. read more

If I would have known ahead of time that "Chefs International" now owned this place (as of 2019), I would have taken a pass.....as I have found that overall, their food quality is lousy. http://chefsinternationalnj.com/ Here we go..... - Great! You setup an outdoor bar and dining area, which was perfect for a beautiful night in NJ for some dinner and drinks with friends - No so great! Walk to the bar to get a beer, and I'm getting attacked by flies....oh better yet, one of the two bartenders is walking around with an old-fashion fly swatter, yes- looking to smash the flies on the bar Let's just say at that point, yeah- I didn't want to stay there....however, I was meeting up with (2) people, so decided to "suck it up" and grab a table. How is this going to get turned around? Super-simple.... - Outstanding service - Great food Well the service stunk (each time we ordered a drink, the server "waited" at the bar, on his phone...and like totally forgot about our drinks. We had to call him over to our table each time, asking where are drinks were? (sitting at the bar, right where he was) Food is typical "Chefs International".....sounds good on a menu, and isn't good. I hadn't been to this place in forever, and guess what? I should have kept it that way..... read more

Was craving a burger and cold beer on a hot summer night, so decided to try out The Cabin which was on our way home. Positives - cool roadhouse vibe, clean dining room, friendly and fast service, and cold draft beer. Negatives - the cheeseburger was not good. Meat tasted old. I didn't finish it, and I always finish a burger. read more
