I went here for a trivia night with a friend. Honestly the food was not good. The buffalo chicken dip had a very bizarre taste to it. My friend additionally said it was unappetizing. I wanted to like this spot because I love a nice dive casual bar but I don't think I'd be back. Service was also extremely slow, there weren't many tables sat and we had to wait so long just to get our drinks. Our server was kind and normally I never comment on the speed of service, but it was a very abnormal extended amount of time.

Hot Mama's Chicken Sandwich

Omg I loved this place so much. Had the crab Rangoon mozz sticks and fried chicken sandwich. Drinks are bomb also. I had the peep me cocktail which was amazing. Would come again. Very nice staff.

General Tsos Shrimp Tacos

We enjoyed our experience at the front porch pub. Cozy little restaurant with decent drinks and food. We absolutely loved the apps and will probably stick with those next time. I wasn't too fond of the dry slaw on the tacos. I just ate the shrimp and left the shelf and dry slaw. Bartender was super sweet and service was overall good for a Saturday night. Apparently a lot of their staff is new, so please be patient.

Absolutely favorite place. Burgers and wings are amazing. Servers and bartenders are friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

Wonton nachos

I don't even remember the first review I wrote I didn't think I had ever been here. But we did go yesterday and I have to say it was absolutely amazing. The food is out of this world. We were just looking for something different instead of one of the same old places and my boyfriend suggested this and I'm so glad that he did. They have an outstanding craft beer menu. We started withthe goat cheese and beet salad. I wasn't such a fan of that because the goat cheese was fried and I'm just not into that. But we also got the wonton nachos and oh my God they were so good and so late and not greasy whatsoever. For entrées, I had the salmon with the sweet and savory sauce and I absolutely loved it and it came with crispy brussels sprouts which were delicious. My boyfriend had the poke bowl and he really enjoyed it!

We had wings, shrimp tacos and pork panini. All were very good. Service was good. Beer selection was the best in town - had at least one sour on tap. Excited to go back and try more.

Went here with friends over the holidays. They frequent the location and had suggested it. It was our first time. Really extensive beer selection. Super nice space. Cozy! The wings were easily some of the best I've ever had. We tried a few different flavors. All delicious! I had the steak sandwich - really tasty. Also reheated well. I was very full after the delicious wings and dumplings. Would have been 5 stars except for the nasty Tito's like I was given for a cocktail. Idk if it was bad ginger beer or what but it was gross. Would def go back for the food and beer selection!

Ask the Community - The Front Porch

Is this restaurant kid friendly, or more of an adult only pub?

It's definitely kid friendly but the menu doesn't have any choices specifically for children. So if your little ones are picky you may have a hard time finding something for them to eat. But if they're adventurous then go for it. The bar is right… Read more

Gluten-free menu items? I enjoyed drinks there but the servers / hostess at the time seemed really uncertain...would like to go back for the food.

Yes, especially if you ask for the chef, Melissa - who is almost always there... She will answer any dietary questions and work with most anyone's needs

When is happy hour?

It's until 6pm from Monday to Friday.

We each started our dinner with a bowl of homemade soup, my wife had clam chowder, and I had the soup of the day which was beef barley. My wife ordered Shepherd's Pie. It's a huge portion loaded with ground beef, vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese and baked to a golden brown. She thoroughly enjoyed every bite. I ordered the Prime Rib Special. It was beautifully cooked to a medium rare perfection; it was super tender and melted in my mouth. I got mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies. It also came with a container of Au jus. We did not have any room to attempt to try any dessert, but we will definitely save room on our next visit. I highly recommend Blackjack Mulligans especially if you want good food with fantastic service, having a great experience and a phenomenal time.

Celtic Corner 312 Lafayette Ave…read more Hawthorne, NJ 07506 Thai Chili Wings Bavarian Pretzel Steak and Arugula Sandwich Classic BLT Crab Cake Sandwich Literally located on the corner of Lafayette Avenue is a local Irish pub with a variety of lunch and dinner options. In addition to having a full size bar and main dining area, the walls are adorned with very attractive wall art. Thai Chili Wings: The wings have a perfect blend of sweet and spice. As always, the blue cheese dipping sauce is the backbone to this appetizer. Bavarian Pretzel: In lieu of being shaped into a knot, the bavarian pretzel looks like a hot dog. I may not agree with the appearance, but I 100% agree with the taste. The pretzels are war and crispy on the outside while soft and doughy on the inside. And don't be shy with those helpings of pretzel salt! Steak and Arugula Sandwich: This tender, superb sandwich was cooked medium rare and served with sauteed onions & mushrooms on ciabatta bread. Classic BLT: Served on Texas toast, this sandwich has an addition of mayonnaise and avocado to supplement the three primary ingredients. Crab Cake Sandwich: For an Irish pub, this was an excellent seafood sandwich. The crab cake was breaded with panko crumbs and had a variety of toppings. The chipotle aioli sauce was the backbone to this boneless meal. As a bonus, this pub hosts special events throughout the week from Trivia Night to live bands. This pub serves excellent meals and it goes to show you don't need alcoholic drinks or cocktails for a great dining experience! #celticcorner #hawthornenj #irishpub #thaichiliwings #bavarianpretzels #steaksandwich #BLT #CrabCakeSandwich #eats #localspots #foodreview #foodstagram #njfoodie

A cozy, very popular Ridgewood spot with good food--but come prepared for tight seating and a…read morelively atmosphere. We stopped in mid-week for a family dinner after work and even on a Wednesday the place was buzzing. The restaurant itself is pretty tiny, which makes for a cozy atmosphere but also means tables are very close together. If you can, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. The menu is somewhat minimal, but the food overall was good. I eat gluten-free and noticed the options were a bit limited, which made ordering slightly challenging. I ended up going with the sea scallops. They were nicely cooked, but the portion was smaller than I expected--five small scallops with some vegetables. For the price, I do wish the portion had been a bit more generous. I have to admit I left still a little hungry. My dad ordered the short rib grilled cheese and really enjoyed it. That was probably the standout dish at our table. My sister ordered the honey bourbon chicken and said it was okay, but afterward she mentioned she probably should have gone with the short rib grilled cheese instead. One surprise of the night was live music on a Wednesday. I usually enjoy live music, but since we were hoping to catch up as a family it made conversation a little difficult. The music was fairly loud for such a small space. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. They also have a rewards program, which worked out nicely--my dad received a complimentary dessert for his birthday. I ordered the crème brûlée, which was a great way to end the meal. A couple practical tips: parking in Ridgewood can be tricky. The restaurant advertises valet parking, though we didn't use or see it during our visit. If you find street parking, make sure to feed the meter because the town is known for giving out tickets. In warmer months they do offer some outdoor sidewalk seating, though it looks fairly limited. It also appears they have a happy hour, though we didn't arrive in time to try it. Overall, I'd recommend checking out Steel Wheel Tavern--just be mindful of the timing of your visit, especially if you're hoping for a quieter dinner.

10/5 Stars!! We…read morerecently had my Mom's 60th birthday party at the Railyard Tavern. I worked with Bob in coordinating everything. He was very accommodating and quick to reply to email. He was a big help in answering any question I had. Our party was roughly 25 people and we reserved the back room for the party. The back room was big enough for all of us to fit comfortably without it feeling cramped. We ordered the apps ahead of time and were told that they would be ready at 5:30. Sure enough, at 5:30 all of the apps came out and they were a big hit. Everything was fantastic. We got some large pizzas, nachos, mozzarella sticks, potstickers, and calamari. There was practically nothing left. The entree's were great and came without delay. I didn't hear a single complaint from any of the guests. I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about our waiter for the night, Alan. I don't think I've ever seen someone be so on top of things before. He handled the whole room essentially by himself and somehow it never seemed like there was a single hiccup the whole night. He was beyond excellent. He was such a good communicator and kept me in the loop with timelines and was overall very organized. He played a significant role in the night going as well as it did. My whole family, and most importantly my mom, had such a wonderful night. And I have Bob, Alan, and the rest of the staff to thank for that.
