I genuinely do not understand why this place is so highly rated. When you first walk in, the staff is friendly, smiling, and welcoming. Unfortunately, that attitude disappears the moment there's a problem. When my food arrived, the quality was shockingly poor. The salad looked old and wilted, like it had been sitting around far longer than it should have. The bread was stale, and the sandwich meat had a strange, processed texture that made it feel more like plastic than food. What made the experience even worse was the response when the issues were brought up. Instead of standing behind their food or trying to make things right, the staff became rude, dismissive, and arrogant. A restaurant's true character shows when something goes wrong, and this place failed that test completely. Between the low-quality food and the poor handling of customer concerns, this was a thoroughly disappointing and unpleasant dining experience. This has happened multiple times read more

This is one of those places that feels "like home" especially around this time of year. You feel like you step back in time when you take a look at the building it's absolutely beautiful. Trust me the menu and the bar are completely up-to-date.! We always start with the cauliflower appetizer. It is the best one in the area. The cauliflower is crisp. There's no heavy breading. It just really is a good choice, especially for those of us that do not eat meat. I hope they keep them on the menu forever. Hubby loves the tuna poke bowl. My favorite are the salmon burgers they make them a few different ways and last night. I had them with avocado and firecracker sauce and they were out of this world. I also like the salmon tower. This just really is a great little place. You can go for a girls night, you could bring your family, just about anything you can think of would be a match for here oh, and one of my favorite touches as the fact that you can grab a bowl and serve yourself some freshly popped popcorn ! read more

We needed a place that was halfway between my sister's family and my own, and settled on the Allendale B&G. First, the good. My daughter and I shared an order of Buffalo wings and they were great. She followed that up with a solid chicken parmigiana. In the downside, my wife's turkey wrap and my chili were just average. The waitress was attentive but the kitchen was quite backed up and the amount of talking that I had to do with my brother in law reflected it. All in all, it's...fine. Don't expect too much and you won't be let down. read more

Big pub energy in this small venerable spot. Great spot to catch a game or catch up with friends over old fashioned pub grub. Always leave full and happy and we keep coming back again read more

Interesting....we come here infrequently enough that will now be scarcely. We waited at our table for 20 minutes for the waitress to come over then another 20 for our drinks. The place wasn't packed and the crowd should be something she is used to. She walked right by our table several times and didn't even stop to see how we were doing or if we needed anything. I also noticed two children under 10 sitting at the bar and also two kids that looked like they were 12 as bus boys. We ordered our food which was typical bar food it wasn't anything that blew my mind away and got a pizza to go. The 12-year-old brought us the pizza and it's not his fault he's still young but someone in the back could have put parchment paper underneath the pizza so that it didn't stick to the cardboard. The pizza came and was all mushed together. We had already paid so obviously no one's going to come to our table so we just walked out and will never go back. I am honestly scared to eat the pizza because I don't know what particles from the cardboard melted onto the pizza. read more

Having been coming here occasionally over the years, I had come to expect some familiarity with the menu. So it was not to say the least that I was rather disappointed with our group's consensus on how dinner tasted. Throughout the meal, service was fairly good and responsive and there is always complimentary popcorn to munch on while you're waiting. That being said, my wife's French onion soup was anything but a soup - it felt more like water than a flavorful broth to the point where my wife couldn't eat it. Fortunately the waitress took it back and took off the charge. I ordered the prime rib which was probably doomed before the chef had a chance to cook it. The recipe calls for little to no salt, so the prime rib tastes rather bland (although cooked to the right medium rare temperature). That itself wouldn't be so bad if not for the boiled broccoli and mashed potatoes (which by themselves tasted good) also leaving something to be desired in terms of salt. Nonetheless, I tried some of my wife's ribeye, and it was clear the alcohol wasn't burned off and something along those lines effective ruined the flavor profile. My kids' spaghettis came with a good helping of noodles but barely any spaghetti sauce! I'm not sure if it's a change in management or not, but the recipes all seemed off even though the cooking temperatures were fairly spit on. read more

Great lunch at Allendale bar and grill. Everything was delicious, the double smash burger had cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion, it was so juicy. The monkfish sandwich had lettuce, tomato and remoulade, fried to perfection. The Godfather as always was so good and sweet potato fries were so crispy and delicious. Our first time there but we often go to their sister restaurant Mahwah bar and grill. Both are equally delicious. read more

The Allendale Bar & Grill (ABG) is one of my favorite local spots, especially for lunch in downtown Allendale. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it's always a reliable choice for a great meal. One thing I really appreciate is how many gluten-free options they offer--it's so nice to have a variety to choose from! And all of the GF options here are delicious! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that service can occasionally be a bit slow during busy times, but overall it's a fantastic spot that I keep coming back to. It's my go to option over their mahwah location as I just find it is a better ambiance and energy. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

We were in town for multiple days & chose to come here several times to dine in and take out. We had been to their sister restaurant in mahwah a couple of times and found to be very good. Allendale Bar & Grill did not disappoint. My pictures are from 2 visits back to back nights. Fun atmosphere, outdoor dining, good food & good service. Very accommodating to dietary needs. read more

We came back to this place because we had a good experience but this time not so much. My husband had the smash burger which was great but I had the prime rib queen as just and I could not cut it let alone eat it. Sometimes meals don't come out as planned... I get it but the service is what made me go down on stars. The server did not check on us or return until it was time to clear my dish. She didn't notice I didn't eat my steak which was obvious. We like the atmosphere so we will go back but order the classics - burgers and wings. read more

This place has been a fixture in the area for so many years! The wait can be a little long, but it's worth it. Solid food, great service. They are known for great burgers, but we have never been disappointed with anything we have ordered here. read more

Burger was really good, I recommend the buffalo shrimp and grilled chicken nachos for apps.

Had lunch again at ABG! Kristen was our amazing server and took great care of us. I have eaten here for years but never tried the chicken salad but saw someone at the table next to me get it. It was excellent! Also got a cup of the lentil and Bavarian wurst soup which was great! I always love how I can find a German Food item on the menu most weeks. Husband loved the smash burger special and the kids loved their pasta (and popcorn). read more

My husband and I met some friends there. I haven't been to AB&G's in years. It was a Friday night. Lots of families. Very noisy. The food was good. My husband and I both had the French Dip. It was good. They should use a better bread. I'm not a fan of having bread stuck in my teeth and the roof of my mouth. So I opted to put the top of the bread to the side of my plate and use my knife and fork. Will I go back? Yes!! I always want to give it another try. read more

My wife, son and I went in for an early dinner today. Our Server was very polite and made us feel welcome. Unfortunately; somehow my wife didn't get the "Special" burger she order instead got another tasty & delicious burger. Our Sever spoke with her Manager and he was so nice and apologetic about the mishap and took the burger off the bill completely. Now we didn't want a free burger (just wanted to pay for what we got), however that small gesture and the way our Sever and Manager handled it is why we look forward to going back! Kudos to you ABG! read more

A staple in the town of allendale. See a lot of mixed reviews on this place and don't get it. It's what I would consider your typical dive bar. It's got great Bar food. Wings burgers salads. If you're coming here looking for some culinary experience you're in the wrong place. My burgers are always cooked just the way I like them. The bartenders are very nice make my drink the way I like it. It's exactly what I would expect from them. Show up on a big game night or a Friday or Saturday night expect to wait. That's to be expected. It's an absolute favorite in our family. There atleast once a week. Kyle the manager is very friendly and does an excellent job. read more

I'm not sure if I have ever reviewed this place.....but I've been going there on and off my entire life. Decent to decent+ pub food and drinks. Always full. Service and kitchen timeliness can be slow. But who cares? The building has not changed in 50 years and the prices are stuck in 2005. I am not a big soda drinker, but I always order one here because the fountain is extra syrupy. That popcorn machine does work! read more

First time here and not impressed. Staff did not wear masks. We both ordered the sizzling rib eye. Came with french fries. Nothing else. No sauteed onions. No garlic. Steak bland and lots of fatty parts on it. French fries were nothing special. They were under the steak it had absorbed all the grease. No veggies. No sauce. Boring tasting meal. Not impressed at all. We Should have gone to State Line Diner and gotten soup and/or a large salad with our steak for this price. Here we got the bare minimum. Will not be going again read more

Allendale Bar & Grill - Sizzling rib eye with fries - American Near Me - Allendale, New Jersey

Visited this place a few times during the pandemic when the weather was nice and the numbers were low. First off, their hostess station being outside at the time was a really great precaution. They also had several hand sanitizer stations for guests to use. They spaced the tables out well and they kept a nice ambience with their tents and some outdoor string lighting. The food options are great. As a customer you can tell they take pride in their menu as the dishes always come out looking great and tasting yummy! We've even ordered the same dish a few times and they've held up to the expected consistency. Lastly, their waiters are tentative to your table and need for drinks even with a packed house. I'm glad I gave this place a go and we will be back once the weather gets better again! read more

Came here for the memories. My father and uncle were truly disappointed. They grew up coming here and it just changed so much. All 3 of our meals were nothing amazing and we have 2 order mess ups on 2 meals and we were given the incorrect sauce as the menu stated. - The 2 open faced chateau steak were off on temperature and it was on a piece of toast underneath. All I need to say is if they advertised Worcestershire butter sauce they missed it on both. We asked for the sauce and they just gave us a regular Worcestershire bottle. The meat was tender but definitely needed the sauce. Came with this giant broccoli and fries that were not seasoned even with a grain of salt. - Seared scallop stir fry we did not realize when an appetizer but they should have been looked at the size of my father and confirmed he wanted an appetizer for his entree but they didn't. We said something and From $18.99 to $25.99 to only add rice and a few more scallops.... They didn't add any more Ponzu sauce to the dish, it was just dry rice. We are not a picky family by NO MEANS and at the end of the day it was truly a disappointment. It was so loud it was obnoxious, we could barely hear each other. read more

Well this was a disappointing meal on Easter, both my daughters food and mine were dried out. Yes dried out chicken and dried out fish. I asked for a glass of wine, he even told me the specific wine I was getting and it never showed up. That was fine didn't need it anyway. So my daughter had wings, I went up to get wet wipes (didn't have any) or more napkins and the hostess said I couldn't have the full sized napkins because "they are the ones we use for table settings" duh we are sitting at a table and proceeded to give me cocktail napkins! I mean obviously it was a staff that was inexperienced. Sad ,I do like MB&G but AB&G not so much! read more

Really gotta love this place. Been coming for years (ok decades), with the family. As crazy as this sounds, it's the little things. TSat at the bar, watched sports, had a few drinks and shared an appetizer with the Mrs. Too many places today don't let you or charge extra for sharing an entree. Not only was a share easy, it was delivered to us "shared." So with the family, or a couple, three letters. ABG. I'm sure I don't have to say it, but... go. 12/26/20... outdoor dining is in style now and when the weather is pleasant, the "area" is covered and you can be with family, enjoy good food and a beer. It's called the AB&G. Get out and have a nice time. read more

I'm so glad this place is 25 min away or else I'd be here almost every night. Cozy atmosphere, great bartenders and friendly patrons at the bar. If anyone else is still playing Pokémon Go - you can reach 3 stops while sitting at the bar! The AB&G drink specials have something for everyone. The Bourbon Honey Bee is prob my fav drink ever right now. I feel like it's the summer version of a hot toddy. Just makes you feel good. My husband just got a Yuengling, but the pint glasses are clean and the beers are crisp! We came in around 5pm on a Monday night. The bar was pretty filled, but we were able to snag the last 2 seats at the end. The hostess did mention there was another bar on the second floor, but I was lazy and saw the opening at the main one. The bartender was super attentive and friendly. The others at the bar were there for a birthday, so she was busy with them, but always made time to check up on us. They timed the food delivery perfectly. We started with the Buffalo calamari, which was hotter than most Buffalo sauces we're used to, but still delicious. Then our sandwiches came out. The Franklin Turnpike will change your life. I kinda wish I got it without mushrooms (I'm not a huge fan), but honestly the flavors all work together so well - it's mind blowing. My husband got The Godfather and said it was good! He's a man of few words - unlike me lol The only reason I can't give this place 5 stars is because of some of the staff. My husband and I were seated right next to wear the bartender drops the drinks for the servers to pick up for their tables. There was a lot of gossiping/cussing happening throughout my meal. I know they're all probably in their late teens/early 20's, but they were having a very candid and unprofessional conversation that the manager prob wouldn't appreciate customers hearing. Overall, the food is really good and we'll definitely be back! read more

Wow, wowwww! Safe to safe I haven't had one bad dish here yet!! One of my favorite places to get Buffalo wings!! The short rib they have on the specials menu was amazing and I really hope they put it on the regular menu! We come here as a family and everyone is satisfied with their meals. Michelle was so sweet and kind as she served us. Side note: our food took a little bit longer than normal to come out and one of the managers came out and apologized. Love the hospitality here!!

An absolute institution. The backbone of Allendale center of town. The place we all dream of coming when we can finally legally drink beer. A family vibe and great place for reunion with old friends.

Seems like all my friends are moving to Allendale so I am in this area a bunch. We came here with some friends and sat outside in the tented area. This is your straightforward bar and grill with that type of grub. I went with my favorite bar/grill/diner item of all time the reuben! They call it the ma connelly reuben and it was pretty good. The meat had good flavor with just the right amount sourness from the sauerkraut. It came with the fries and they were also done right. They tasted fresh and fried just enough where they weren't oily. My wife had the sweet potato fries and they were the same way. We started with the boneless chicken tenders and they were delicious. Try them with the honey bbq sauce. The godfather is also delicious. It is like a french dip with sauteed onions. I would order all items again. We had some beers with our meal and they were served cold. We comfortably sat outside and had a good time. Very good service with a lot of people checking on us. I would definitely come back and this place definitely exceeded my expectations! read more

Food is good, service is good, pricing is avg, friendly can be loud on weekends. Busy place for local dining on weekends.

Closer to 2.5. Items are hit and miss. Our server wasn't bad but could use more training, he checked on us once maybe twice but we had to ask for extra napkins, utensils & refills. The mimosa had a lot ice and watered down midway through the drink. Honey boneless wings, Cole slaw and crab cakes were good. 2 of 4 pretzels were burnt, the burger was dry and the sweet potato fries did not have any seasoning. I did hear some music so maybe I would go back just for apps and drinks. read more
