I ate there 2 weeks ago and it was great as usual. it really hasn't changed much . My parents used to take me there when I was a young girl. I'm now 78 and I still love the place. excellent salad bar, and I had a filet that was tender and juicy and a large order of onion rings. read more

I must have driven past this venue 100's of times and never really took notice. It wasn't until I was out with the family that someone suggested going to The Pub. I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib. read more

Such a fun old-school steak house. The decor is swanky. They have big hearths where they grill the meats. The salad bar is classic: Caesar salad, iceberg, blue cheese, bacon bits, etc. Meet family here for a fancy night out, and it was a blast. Service was good. Portions are generous, so be prepared for leftovers. We had steak and eggs for breakfast the next day. Big steaks, big baked potatoes, unlimited salad. Come hungry. Good to know: It is a splurge. Also, they won't stay you until the entire party is there. We waited at the bar for everyone to arrive, where one cocktail was more than enough for me. You definitely get your money's worth, and you should not drive afterward. (I did not.) read more

What an OG blast from the past! The Pub was THE place to go in the 80's. Our family used to meet up for Mother Day, Father's Day, graduation celebrations and whenever we had company staying with us. I know they were closed down for a spell for a remodel. After about ten years since my last visit, I truly and thankfully didn't notice any(?) changes. Still the great humongous space with rustic decor, the great lounge, suits of armor statues, and their famous and extensive yummy salad bar! We came for a late lunch and were seated immediately! My daughter could not believe her eyes at the sheer size of the restaurant, that she referred to as a "bunker!" Our server, Renee, was so warm, personable and helpful. She added to our great overall experience! We started with the salad bar (duh!!!) . Amazing Caesar for me; I added a slice of self serve fresh Monterey Jack to it and Thousand Island, which is my favorite dressing. So darn good! My daughter went buck wild with a little bit of everything lol! I loved seeing her experience a slice of my fond memories! I had a crab cake sandwich, that was absolutely perfect and big. The best Ive had in ages! My girl got a half rack of ribs and a twice baked potato. She flipped for both! We were both in heaven! Dessert was a shared "slab" of pumpkin bread pudding with icecream (only $8). This thing was magnificent and sooo good! We took the majority of it home. Although The Pub is only 20 minutes away, the traffic getting there is a bit of a pain but we're definitely going back and back and back! Maybe even as early as Christmas Eve. To me, The Pub is a New Jersey staple and MUST!!! read more

The Pub - 1/2 rack of ribs; twice baked potato - Pubs Near Me - Pennsauken, New Jersey

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. read more

Been going here for over 30 yrs for my son's birthday bc he doesn't like change. He always gets the ribs & said they were a lot better than last yr. I had fried scallops that I had to try bc I never saw that on a menu. They were very good. Two others had the prime rib & they both said it was good. My daughter had chicken parm. & she liked it. We all said the food was better this yr than last yr. Along with higher prices. Average meal was over $40. read more

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 read more

Our family has been going here for over 15 years.. We have never gotten a bad meal and the service is great!!

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. read more

Had a great time here. Finding out that they started the salad bar felt like a pilgrimage after the fact. I had the managers special-- medium rare prime rib and baked potato. Went home with the left overs and freshly baked bread. The nostalgia felt like a 1977 to 1983 time capsule. I will definitely be back. Our server was wonderful as well. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food - 14 oz strip steak did not resemble any strip steak I've had before. A hunk of very tough, gristly meat, poorly seasoned and cooked. (Longhorn Steakhouse has excellent steaks for half the price). Took a full ten minutes to deliver ketchup after it was requested, and fries were stone cold by then. After the meal it took more than half an hour to bring the check, and process the credit card. It is dark, cavernous and noisy and an overall unpleasant experience. We won't be back. read more

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! read more

Please don't ever change this magnificent beast. It's a right of passage to bring your family for steaks and prime rib.

I've been a long time customer of The Pub. Things seemed to change when they partnered with Library 2 and Rocco's The Brick (now closed). It took 45mins to get our drinks, had to ask for water and now they charge $3 for their bread. I ordered Fried Zucchini and it was just fried breadcrumbs with a slither of zucchini and that took almost an hour to come out because "someone took the first order". Waiter wasn't good, spent a lot of time waiting. The filet and crab cake was good but it was too little too late. We are taking a long break from this place. read more

The food is always good and service is always good!! The portion sizes and prices are great!

Been going here for years but not anymore took the family of 4 christmas eve got two 9 ounce filets. My husband and i both noticed that they did not smell right ! Told waitress Renee she said there is nothing they would do . Seriously ? was just there 2 weeks before with same waitress for a party of 9 ! You want us to eat bad meat ? No more. They wouldnt get a manager or replace the meat or give us any credit . Even paid for 2 pieces of cake. read more

My husband & I & our 2 friends went to the Pub saturday night for the Prime Rib dinner. We Love the Pubs' Prime Rib. As usual it was delicious. We then ordered the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. It cost $17.00 but we decided to splurge. We were told its the Pub's best dessert. The chocolate cake came out it was very large, ice cold with about 3 inches of chocolate icing. The cake was So TERRIBLE. Cardboard would have tasted better. There were 4 of us sharing & none of us could eat the cake. I told the waitress that the cake was inedible but she didnt offer to bring us something else or take the charge off the bill. I was so disappointed. We normally love to go to the pub for a fun delicious evening. I do not think we will be going to the pub anytime soon. Sandy G read more

I called them to reserve a table for 21 people for my Mother's 91 birthday. They said the would. The day of which was Sunday my daughter looked at their Facebook where she saw they were closed because of inclement weather. We didn't get any phone call from them. I called and they said because it could snow. My reservation was for 2pm. The snow came at 7pm. They could have opened for lunch and closed at 6pm or at least have the courtesy of calling me: last minute I had to find another steakhouse that was open in the Cherry Hill area that took us. They won and the Pub lost: I will not go back there again. read more

Oh man!! Heard about this place and had to try! Heard it's been around forever. It's like walking into the medieval times. At first i was like, is this a castle lol. Anyways, came for the steak and drinks and this place surely did not disappoint! Started off with some martinis, and my they did not skimp on the alcohol or the amount! It basically came in the martini glass and another glass of what else was left from the bartender making it :-) There is a salad buffet that was included with all the dinners. Beware, you will probably fill up with just the salad bar alone! I got the filet Mignon and was cooked to perfection! Nice chat to it and good seasoning! Did not need to add anything to it! Portions were huge for everything. I will definitely come back! They've got many options for everyone! read more

I have no doubt that this place used to be great back in the day given that they've survived this long and can still fill the dining room on a Saturday night, but time has passed the Pub by and it's showing its age (just like their clientele). Our server was pleasant but slow and spilled half of each of our drinks using the silly cart that they roll from the bar. My martini ended up being the size of my thumb. Did she offer to remake them, apologize or even acknowledge what happened? Of course not. I had the rack of lamb and it was terrible. It looked like something Previously frozen that was slopped together. No flavor whatsoever. The salad bar is a nice touch and the ambiance is very unique but I walked away disappointed and hungry. read more

I have not been here in at least 30 years. It has not changed at all in all that time. It has a bit trippy and definitely nostalgic interior. It is one of those places that really cannot change. Our family celebrated a birthday 3pm Sunday 6.11.23. We were a party of ten. Our server was great. Entrees ordered (some of us ordered the same thing) - Cattleman's Cut Prime Rib, Southwest Chicken, Half Rack Of Ribs, Baked Crab Baltimore, Burgundy Street Sirloin, Baked Jumbo Shrimp & Scallops, and Baked Flounder. The Prime Rib was massive. My Crab Baltimore was exactly as advertised- all huge lump high quality crab. It was a big portion especially considering the price. There was no complaints uttered about the food. I won't be returning anytime soon since I live 50 minutes away. It is a shame to read some of these reviews regarding management's handling of issues as they arise. They seem to have a pattern of cutting their nose to spite their face. read more

The Pub - Baked Crab Baltimore - Pubs Near Me - Pennsauken, New Jersey

Ordered the 9oz filet, it came beyond well done, to the point the waitress could see how bad it was. She then asked for it to be remade, only for it to come raw. For a $55 steak at a place known for steaks I am beyond disappointed. My waitress upset herself by how raw it was when they said it was done the second time came back and informed me they removed it from my bill only to bring the check to find instead I was charged for a salad bar which Caesar salad was horrible and all mush. My waitress was very attentive and handled everything to the best of her abilities. My rating is for the food and management responses to clear mistakes by the cooks. I recommend everyone chose a different place to eat. read more

Excellent salad bar with many choices, cheese and bread. Did not appreciate being charged $3 for the fresh baked loaf of bread that used to come with your meal.

My party chose different entrees so here goes: Salad bar didn't disappoint but the prime rib, ordered medium rare was extremely dry and so were the ribs. Pork chops and fish were good.

The Pub is another restaurant that I've literally been going to for my entire life. It's been a part of my family tradition that started with my pop-pop since 1950's. We've been here to celebrate birthdays, graduations, or hold special gatherings and The Pub has always taken great care of us. It's a great retro steakhouse that's known for firing up charcoal-grilled steaks and other meats from an open hearth in a castle-like atmosphere. Despite being temporarily closed this past summer for renovations and repairs, The Pub continues to be landmark for the greater Delaware Valley area.

The good: The bar and drinks were on point! Pricey, but well poured! 4* Our server (Jennifer) delightful! 4* The salad bar was perfect for me! I Love a good salad bar! 4* Atmosphere was pleasant enough. The dining room is HUUUGE!! The Mediocre: Apps & Dinners- We ordered for our appetizer, the (seafood tower dinner for 5ppl) so that we could all enjoy some seafood. From the stuffed clams to the lobster tails, the taste was Bland, salty, microwaved. Nothing exciting or screaming "fresh" about the seafood. The dinners were more of same, bland & boring. steaks, filet, surf/turf. Every plate was drenched in Au jus, which is fine for a prime rib, but not for my NY Strip. Even the twice baked potatoes were thrice baked, dryyyy! The Ladies room could use a power washer! Old, outdated. I would not recommend to friends due to the price vs. quality. I would recommend to a family with kids to feed. read more

The entrees are overpriced, not good, and extremely large portions. The salad bar is the only worthwhile food you'll eat at the pub, and The Pub is home to perhaps the worst cheeseburger I've ever eaten, inclusive of fast food. What makes this a 5 star establishment is the level of surreal you'll experience when dining here. The Pub bills itself as a medieval steakhouse, there are no larping performers dueling, or maidens dressed in Game of Thrones costumes, but somehow, I get it, the vibe they were trying to go for when this place opened many years ago. And it has not changed much. Perhaps the most major change was at some point, which they advertise on their signage, they had big screen TV's. Those are gone in the massive dining area with approximately 100 tables. But there's plenty more to watch that's way better than television anyway. The lighting consists of enormous overhead fixtures with flickering electric candles, offering an almost out of body experience as your senses adjust to this place. You'll see servers pushing carts of food to tables and a half open kitchen with bbq pits where the subpar steaks are cooked to mediocrity. I am not giving this place five stars in jest, earnestly, The Pub is an experience not to be missed. Perhaps book ahead for your birthday and bring a party of ten and enjoy a complimentary birthday cake. read more

Absolutely NOT!!!!!! My fiance and I tried to eat here last summer. It was my idea. A colleague of mine loved this place and he usually had good judgment about the best cafes, bistros and restaurants. He talked about how good the food was all the time, so when I moved back to NJ, I decided to try it out. The first thing we noticed as soon as we walked into the restaurant was the strong, moldy smell. I am allergic to mold, so my lungs reacted immediately. Nevertheless, we sat down and looked over our menus from our friendly waitress. I really tried, but I simply couldn't ignore the stench. I couldn't smell any food...just that rotten mold. There was no way I'd be able to enjoy a meal there. So, we left. I heard they're remodeling soon. Maybe after the renovation we'll try again. read more

Third trip this year to the Pub, but this time was to take my 84 year old neighbor and friend out for her Birthday dinner. I decided on the Pub because I bid not want to miss the biggest rival Football game between Dallas and Eagles that came on at 4:30 Sunday. I live in Collingswood NJ, surrounded by some of the best and most written up restaurants in New Jersey , so why the Pub you ask. All these fancy restaurants do not open until between 4PM and 5 PM, but the good old reliable Pub opens with a full menu and salad bar at 1PM. Service is great, food is good and menu selection is great, along with reasonable prices. Plenty of parking and always friendly staff, along with a very interesting decor and ambiance, so yes to an enjoyable evening with my friend. read more

Overall, the Pub was just okay. It is pretty dim inside, and the leather seating was cracked. Let me get this outta the way: the chocolate birthday cake I ordered was trash. It was dry as the desert, and the icing was hard and just yuck. The bread they serviced before the meal was crummy...crumbs all over the place. We asked for napkins to sweep up the crumbs and the waiter just plops the plate of food over the crumbs and says "this will cover it." I had filet mignon kabobs and the meat was tough! Didn't waste money on any drinks for myself. I may try the place again. It's a little expensive not to be satisfied. read more

They are really a very poor operation. They don't care about quality or service and it shows. They've dramatically increased their prices so my guess is that they want to take as much money as possible from people with good memories of The Pub in the past, like me,.before it inevitably closes. Really bad food and laughingly horrible service, but also high prices, so a breathtakingly bad value overall. read more
