    9 oz. Filet Mignon
    Jon H.

    Our first time at the Pub in years and it surpassed expectations satisfying the whole family! Each year for Christmas I try to pick a different restaurant to buy gift cards to for everyone so we can all enjoy a night out together. Last year's Christmas featured gift cards to The Pub, and we finally got around to picking a date and making reservations. We made 6pm reservations for 7 people on a Saturday night. We were seated promptly upon arrival just before 6pm. The restaurant was very busy. Even with all the guests dining in, the salad bar line was never long and moved quickly. While there weren't nearly as many options at the salad bar as Library II, everything they offered was fresh and there was still plenty to choose from. The marinated mushrooms were a big hit at the table, and we also really enjoyed the corn bread and zucchini bread. Unfortunately they stopped replenishing the trays of bread at the salad bar about 1/2 way through our meal. The dining area is huge and wide open with really high ceilings. It almost has a retro-type feel inside (not in a bad way), and the bar looks like a place I would enjoy to relax and have a martini. I appreciate how the grills are open and visible from the tables. Our server, Anthony, was fantastic. Attentive, sincere, personable, confident just to name a few traits he exhibited throughout the night. All the girls at our table ordered classic Espresso Martinis (martinis were served with an extra rocks glass on the side!) and were made with shots of Nespresso. My wife said hers was very good. I ordered a Pilsner by Double Nickel Brewing made for The Pub. We also had a Margarita and an Orange Crush which were just so-so (we spend a week in Ocean City, Maryland every summer, home of the Orange Crush so maybe we're a little partial and particular with our Crushes). The dinner portions were mind-blowing. Five of us ordered prime rib, myself included. Even after all of the pictures I looked at prior to arriving for dinner, no picture does this prime rib justice. Hands down the biggest steak I've ever ordered and it was cooked to perfection. My mom, dad, and I all got 2nd dinners out of our prime ribs. My wife ordered a filet mignon (tender with a beautiful sear!) and my aunt got crab cakes (huge just like the prime rib!). From the sounds of it everyone really enjoyed their dinners. I have to admit I was a little nervous the day leading up to our reservations. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect and didn't want dinner / my gift to disappoint anyone. I'd say we all enjoyed ourselves and our meals. We do have a nice little hike to get back to Pennsauken from where we live so I'm not sure when we'll be back again, but I surely wouldn't hesitate to enjoy another great prime rib from The Pub.

    12 oz. Top Sirloin Steak

    I have lived in South Jersey all my life, but I have never been to The Pub. I have passed the Pub countless times during my commute to Rutgers Camden or frequent trips to Philadelphia. The Pub is definitely a throwback to times gone by. I really like their 50's style logo. The place is a bit Tutor castle themed and it is huge! It's almost like eating at Disney World. The salad bar was pretty cool and something you don't see that much of anymore. The Caesar salad was good and so was the cornbread. Our party of four ordered the following; Burgundy Street Sirloin (2) Filet Mignon Steakabob Fresh Grilled Salmon All three of these dishes were cooked over their famous charcoal hearth. The kebab was really good and wasn't overcooked. Our sirloin steaks were also very good and medium as we asked and had that nice charcoal taste. They were also huge! The salmon was moist and had a crunchy exterior. Our server was great all night, very attentive and very pleasant. The food came out quickly and was served warm in the unique fashion. We had four entress and the total price was around $148. Not cheap, but not expensive either for the quality of food and the size of the portions. We didn't order from the bar. We all left happy and very full. The Pub was indeed a fun time. I am glad I finally had a chance to try this iconic restaurant. I definitely would come back when I get the craving for a big slab of meat in an old school steakhouse that looks like a castle. 3.5-4 Yelp stars

    I wish half stars were a thing because the Pub deserves 3.5 stars. Before dining here you MUST understand you're going back in time. From the old arcade machines in the foyer, to the music and decor, you're entering a Time Machine. My dining partner and I started with cocktails. I got the Pub Pear and he got the orange crush. The pub pear was described as having absolute pear, st germain elderflower liqueur, and Prosecco. All I tasted was straight up vodka. It was the strongest drink I've had in a long time and I couldn't enjoy it. My bff said the same. That it was too strong to enjoy. The bread arrived hot with little foil packets of butter. If the pub would like to elevate the dining experience, whipped butter or butter with sea salt flakes on top in a little dish would take this experience up a notch. The salad bar is one of my most fave parts of the Pub. It's hard to find salad bars these days like the type that was so popular 20 years ago, but the Pub nails it. They even have banana bread and corn bread ( and possibly zucchini bread) available if you're not into the crusty bread served at the table. For my entree I opted for the carpet bagger, since I never ordered it before but heard so much. It's 9 oz of filet mignon topped with a crispy broiled crab cake, served with your choice of potato, green beans, bernaise sauce, and an onion ring. I really love how the steak is brought to the table on a hot grill-like apparatus. My bff did the ribeye and the au jus was poured right in front of us onto his steak. For dessert we HAD to do the chocolate cake. I remembered it being warm before but this cake was ice cold. The cake itself was a little dry since it was cold, but the fudge in between each layer made it all worth it. We ended up bringing more than half home. While we were dining the servers were vacuuming under the tables around us. I appreciate their attention to keeping the restaurant clean, but the Pub is definitely not getting any Michelin stars. As long as you know this going in, I think you'll enjoy your experience.

    Fried Fresh Mushrooms

    The Pub was a fun environment from start to finish. The exterior is decorated in a medieval style, and the inside has stained glass and wood detailing to match. Steak seemed to be the popular choice for our group (most of us ordered filets and ribeyes), and The Pub did not disappoint. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The majority of the party also opted for the twice-baked potato, and it was a savory and salty dream. We also loved the fresh cheeses on the salad bar. Our only complaint was that our appetizer (the fried mushrooms) were brought out at the same time as our entrées, but overall, we had a great time at The Pub.

    Main dining room.

    We went here two days ago for dinner, three of us. The iceberg lettuce was full of "hearts" and not even cut up that good at all. We spent a few hundred dollars, and the filets were dry and not even warm and not flavorful. All the months closed and all they do is clean the old carpeting. Last year, roof and carpeting...that's it. Just really old and dated. Our server was wonderful... Jackie.

    Texas size Dranks!  At the PUB!

    One of the best fresh salad bars and seafood platters around. I had so much food, I took home enough for 2 more meals. Excellent service and the atmosphere hasn't changed in over 50 years.

    When God blesses you with the opportunity to have an incredible meal with friends, you will be best served bringing them to the pub where you are guaranteed the most incredible meal that you could find anywhere in the Delaware valley. Most people are not aware that the pub is the only restaurant in the state of New Jersey exempt from a smoking ban due to their powerful ventilation systems. From all of the stakes being expertly prepared. There are no bad choices on the menu. Everything is top notch and will add to the most incredible dining experience you could ever ask for. I highly encourage you to grab family friends and come on down and enjoy!

    Can you get just the salad bar?

    Told by my server that it is not a option. Salad bar is nice but the real star of the show is their steak options.

    I would love to get my hands on the recipe for the spout salad that's on the salad bar. Foodie friends unite?

    I love that sprout salad. Been recreating it at home for years. It's definitely toasted sesame oil is the other main ingredient maybe some soy sauce and sugar and pepper

    nah. Mulligans is…read moreactually fine, but they shoot themselves in the foot in so many ways that I know I won't be going back. And as The Misses stated as we pulled away, "I never knew this place existed, and I'm happy to go back to that." Ouch. First, the good: - The building is spacious, and looked clean. There is plenty of room, and table and bar seating. - The menu is vast, with a lot of options - Service was fine. The bad: - Mulligans is wildly expensive. I think the cheapest thing to eat was a small bowl of fries, which was $7.95 (more on this in The Ugly.) An APPETIZER of chicken fingers was over $13 dollars, and that didn't include fries. I was shocked at some of the prices.... - speaking of those prices, they had Happy Hour AND Lunch specials.....that were almost the exact same price as the regular menu prices. So, a flatbread from the menu was like $12, but the Happy Hour "deal" was a flatbread for $10*....(again, more on this in a second....) How is that a deal? Yardhouse, for example, does HALF PRICE flatbreads during happy hour. - That barely discounted flatbread was also underseasoned, by the way. It looked ok, and had nice sized chicken chunks on it, but The Misses said that everything was underseasoned. (She did give them kudos for fresh fries though...) - There is no kids menu, even though there was a shocking amount of children here. We brought our 7y/o, the table next to us had 2 boys between 5-9, and at least 2 to 3 other groups came in with children just while we were sitting there. But, nothing on the menu for kids. I guess you need to just pony up the $13+ for an appetizer chicken tenders meal. The UGLY: - About those prices....they don't match the menu. I can't stand the price bait and switch, yet Mulligans hit us with it for every item. That bullshit $10 happy hour "deal" is actually $10.40 on the receipt. (BEFORE tax, before one of you wise ass economists chimes in....) My "$11.95 lunch special" was actually $12.43, and the Little Ones small side of fries came in at $8.06. Now, these are just slight little increases, but it's the point that the actual prices arenn't the same as the menu price. All of this is made even worse by the fact that.... - ...anything other than cash incurs a FOUR percent surcharge! So, our meal had an ADDITIONAL $3 tacked on because we paid with a card, like normal people. Who's walking around with cash in 2026? Drug dealers? There is just no reason to travel here to overpay for incorrectly price labeled food that you will then have to pay ANOTHER premium on at the end. The food was FINE, but fine isn't worth the upcharge.

Big, open, and bright with a varied menu and a TON of beers on tap. We had already eaten, so we didn't try the food, but everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic.

Overall, it's a cool place to watch sports, grab a drink, and enjoy a laid-back vibe. Servers and bartenders were super friendly as well.
