Wine $14
Harriet M.

Not even for no cost should you come to this restaurant ( which is why I came a voucher from la Compagnie) they need to find other restaurants this one is not up to par with your business. Class ) it is over priced. The food is the worst. The presentation is the worst the server was not good. I am not a happy customer and they could care less.

Sad chicken tenders
Michelle K.

Don't be like me and read the reviews AFTER sitting down. My flight was delayed like many others, so this was the only option. I saw quite a few people already seated so I thought this won't be too bad, but it was real bad. My partner and I both got the chicken tenders and at the whacked up price of 16 bucks, we got 4 small tenders and a side of overcooked chips on a paper plate. The chicken was super dry and the chips were salty. The only decent thing on that plate was the mustard and it wasn't even from them. Anyways I snuck a peak at what other people got and it was mainly beer. One lady got a Cobb salad and it looked pretty sad so don't get that either. However, the service was great.

They close before all the flights leave.

I wish I'd read the reviews before I sat down here. Stay away! Once you come through security you have very limited choices in terminal B. Bring food with you. If you must buy food in the airport the grab and go has far better selections than the actual sit down dining. After attempting to eat in this place I went to the grab and go and bought 2 plain hard boiled eggs for $2.49 the biggest protein boost and a bargain compared to what is available sitting down in this place. Seriously. My husband who never ever ever returns food and is always extremely respectful of restaurant wait staff, having grown up in a restaurant owned by his parents, for the first time ever, and we've been married for 38 years, told the waiter that his sandwich was completely inedible. To the waiters credit, he remade the sandwich on some fresh bread, leading you to question why he served him a sandwich on old bread. In the end the waiter was kind and the sandwich was edible, but truly that's the only good thing he could say about it. I had the cobb salad without the bacon and basically what I got was some chopped up romaine lettuce on a paper plate with a few tiny cubes of cucumber and red onion, and what amounted to approximately half a hard boiled egg, and a pouch of ranch dressing. Now here's the really really shocking part, it cost $23. Just don't.

One of the Worst possible grilled chicken sandwich ($19.99) I had in my travel life :(

Worst food mediocre service close to the gate Will never go again and don't recommend anyone to go.

Sausage egg and cheese
Ophelia A.

I got the sausage egg and cheese sandwich with the side of potatoes and it was wonderful!! It was about 5 am when I sat down and the foos was really delicious. They had hot sauce available at the table so I was set. I mean yeah the price was a lot, that's just the way of the air. It filled up pretty quickly, man I really would come back again for another. Also the fact that they use paper plates is pretty amazing!! Thank you I won't fly hungry.

Spinach Dip
Trevor P.

This nastiness could not be any further from the description. They literally took a bowl of frozen spinach dip, microwaved it, and charged me $13 for it. I'm going to need to wash the taste out of my mouth after this. My stomach is in for an unusual time. I also ordered the basil flatbread. That didn't even deserve a picture. The basil was absent, and they literally microwaved cheap marinara sauce sloppily topped on naan bread. Avoid this place at all costs!

Burnt cheese pizza
Tiffany A.

The only reason I came here to eat is because my flight was delayed 3 hrs and the only other option is to eat refrigerated sandwiches. The place was packed and it took forever for a server to seat me (at a dirty table.) my server was very nice but very busy so he was unable to check in to see if I needed anything. I ordered just a cheese pizza and it was nasty. It was burnt and tasted like it was frozen pizza because the crust was soggy. I would not come back to this restaurant. Food and service sucked. The only reason I'm giving a 2 is because there's a good drinking menu and my server was nice.

Troy E.

Basically what you would expect for airport food. Edible, but not good food. Reasonably quick for slapping two pieces of bread on sandwich meat. The one good thing is that it's right next to the Porter Airlines gate so you can keep an eye on your boarding progress.

BLT with chips - notice how you can't see anything peeking out from under the bread

It feels like a relic from an earlier era, but you know what, I dug it. The parking lot and the…read moreinterior were huge, but I came at opening on a weekday, so it looked a lot more empty inside than it was. Our waitress was very friendly and ended up leaving a pitcher of water once she saw we were parched. The salad bar wasn't huge, but there were some cold dishes along with salad fixings, which is part of the vintage charm. The bread (not complementary) was also a huge round loaf great for sharing. The decor's medieval vibe is very charming and it's nice looking around the room. The kitchen is open to the dining room with big brick ovens. I had the prime rib which was big and juicy (the baked potato was fine but the Yorkshire puff was bland and barely editable soaked in juice - may just be I don't like this food). The steak came with a giant onion ring which was delightful, and it was cooked perfectly tender. This place thrives in your meat and potato staples, so not a lot of side options except what's at the salad bar. For dessert, we had to try the peach melba delight, which was a giant goblet of vanilla ice cream, peaches in juice, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. Deceptively simple but extremely tasty and great to share There's a large bar area and the bathrooms are nice. This place is great for larger groups that include older people. The food is good and the atmosphere did feel like it was from another time, but we had a good time, and it's nice to see a place like this still around.

I must have driven past this venue 100's of times and never really took notice. It wasn't until I…read morewas 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.

The only reason I didn't make this a five out of five was that I felt that it was very limited on the happy hour menu and wind up spending a lot more than I anticipated because we ordered off the regular menu in addition to just the hot wings and I'm not even sure if I drink choices. The beers were on the happy hour unless it was like two or three on tap so that was a little bothersome for me. It was hard to sort of follow what is and what Isn't but I think we'll give it a fair. Try one another time when Fifa games are not going on. We did order wings off the happy hour menu, but then from the regular menu I had the sesame tuna tacos instead of fries which I hate I had brussels sprouts but again there's an up charge to do that. My wife had the half cheesesteak she added sautéed peppers she added a chipotle. Aïoli and she also swapped out tater tots for whatever the fried choice was but everything was at an up charge. Food was tasty was good but again like I said I was coming for happy hour and I felt like I wasn't happy with the hour.

Maloney's is legendary in the beer world. Over 125 taps, plus an ever‑changing lineup of drafts, cans, locals, imports, cider, mead, basically anything you can think of. Add in food specials, events, and you have got a must‑visit destination. Their outdoor space has two vibes: sunny seating right along the building, or the covered tent area for shade. Brie got her own water bowl and plenty of love from the staff, which always earns bonus points. The menu hits all the American‑style favorites: burgers, salads, flatbreads, appetizers, and hearty entrees, perfect for pairing with whatever you are sipping. This downtown Matawan staple has been going strong for 20+ years, this is the place to be.

Brunch, Great Food & 125+ Drafts? Yes, Please!…read more We stopped at Maloney's Pub & Grill in downtown Matawan for brunch, and let me tell you... this was the best idea ever! The first thing that grabs your attention when you walk in is the massive lineup of draft beers. Maloney's is known for its incredible rotating draft selection, with more than 125 taps featuring everything from IPAs and stouts to ciders, meads, Belgian ales, German lagers, and more. And if you're staring at that wall of choices thinking, "How in the world am I supposed to choose?" -- no worries! They're happy to let you sample a beer before committing. Now THAT is my kind of place! The restaurant has a really comfortable setup with plenty of seating. You'll find booths that are perfect for a date night, an open dining room for larger groups, outdoor seating when the weather cooperates, and of course plenty of seats at the bar if you just want to grab a drink and relax. And while the beer selection is definitely a major attraction, the food deserves just as much attention. Their menu goes well beyond typical pub food, with steaks, seafood, burgers, sandwiches, salads and more. They also offer Sunday brunch from 12-3 p.m. What We Ordered: Steak & Eggs A nicely grilled NY sirloin served with two eggs and home-fried potatoes. A classic brunch combination done right. Chicken B.L.T.A. Grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado and ranch dressing. This was loaded with all the good stuff and packed with flavor. Salmon Piccata North Atlantic salmon fillet with lemon, capers and a white wine sauce, served with mashed potatoes. The lemon and caper combination really worked with the salmon. Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad Blackened ahi tuna over mixed greens with avocado, sesame seeds, red onion and a house lemon-herb vinaigrette. A great option if you're looking for something a little lighter without sacrificing flavor. Crispy Chipotle Chicken Sandwich Panko-crusted chicken breast with chipotle ranch spread, cheddar cheese, avocado, lettuce and tomato, served with tater tots. Crispy, creamy, cheesy and satisfying -- what's not to like? Everything came out hot, fresh and in a timely manner, which is exactly what you want when you're dining with a larger group ordering several different dishes. And honestly, just thinking about that meal has my mouth watering all over again! A special shout-out to our server Jeanette, who was fantastic. She was friendly, pleasant and attentive without hovering, checking on us throughout the meal and making sure we had everything we needed, including keeping those water glasses filled. Great service can make an already enjoyable meal that much better. Maloney's has been part of downtown Matawan since 2005, and I can definitely see why it has become a local destination. Whether you're stopping in for Sunday brunch, meeting friends for dinner, looking for a great burger or steak, or simply want to explore their enormous rotating beer selection, there's plenty here to keep you coming back. (maloneys⁠) If you're in the Matawan area and looking for a brunch spot with great food, a fun atmosphere and an unbelievable selection of drafts, put Maloney's on your list! We'll definitely be back -- next time, I'm exploring more of that beer list and trying something else from the menu!

Outstanding!!! I've seen this place of my Facebook feed…read more. Several Videos of the food. So on this day I told my wife Let's try it out First No Reservations Second CASH ONLY...

Spaghetti Giuliano With Shrimp Scungilli Clams in a red sauce Cavatelli with Pot Cheese Delicious flavor in a lil Marinara sauce Chicken Savoy Chicken in a vinegar sauce which I needed more bread to soak it up There are no Desserts You can bring your own & they have Big Espresso Pot for $25 Or lil one for $20 5/5 Fuhgeddabouits!!
