A solid spot for drinks and atmosphere, but the food was a mixed bag on this visit…read more The ambiance is lively and inviting, making it a great space to unwind, and our server was attentive and friendly throughout the night. The bar program is definitely the highlight--both the Mediterranean Mule and the Pretty in Pink were well-crafted, balanced, and delicious. Unfortunately, the kitchen didn't quite hit the mark. We ordered the Old Bay chips, but they arrived noticeably overcooked and burnt, leaving a harsh, bitter aftertaste that made them tough to finish. It's a great place to drop in for a cocktail and enjoy the vibe, but tighter quality control coming out of the kitchen would easily take this from an average visit to a great one.

We were only here for an hour or so we didn't eat but they made a surprisingly good espresso martini. I always enjoy when bars make their espresso martinis with Mr Black - it makes a difference!

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much when I ordered the Manhattan on their menu. And while they use a maraschino cherry vs. a luxardo, which is typically a telltale sign of quality, it was a really good drink -- not overly sweet or sharply boozy. The food was also solid. They offer your regular bar food like wings, mozzarella sticks, and burgers, but also salads made with actual mixed greens and not just iceberg lettuce. Their fries were good, as well as the quesadilla, chicken fingers and steak salad (although crazy spicy so beware). The bartenders were so friendly, it must be a good place to work. I loved the retro atmosphere, and will be back to sit out on the patio next time!

I went to the old Canal Inn tonight with my dad after hearing about the story of the death seat…read more The in itself was very large and spacious. It was pretty dead for a Thursday night, but I was not complaining as it meant. We got served faster! I loved all the Christmas decorations they had up and that they had space for a band. Unfortunately, we were not able to stay for the bands performance tonight. My dad ordered a chicken Parm dinner which he said he really enjoyed. I ordered a chipotle burger, but I'm not sure that's what I received. The burger I got had onions and what I think was American cheese. There was no chipotle taste to it. It was delicious nonetheless though so I would be interested to see you with the chipotle burger itself tasted like. I was also disappointed that they did not have the death seat burger. Apparently they only serve it once a month on Wednesdays and you have to look on Instagram for one that is. I shall go back for that one day.

Everything went well. My husband and I are new to the area and went here for dinner on a Saturday…read more We ordered the shrimp chili appetizer. It was delicious! Hubby ordered the ribeye steak and said it was perfect; he couldn't eat it all. I ordered the fish and chips which were great. Andre was our server and he was not only friendly and fast, but very helpful. We will be back again. Sorry, no pictures we're a no phone at dinner couple.

I just seem to have a love/hate relationship with this place. The location is near where I live…read more The environment of the restaurant is fun and very pub-like, which I personally enjoy. The owner is usually present and is very welcoming and nice to talk to. The food has always been good, so far. However.........the customer service provided by a 'handful' of servers is just so inconsistent. One server is always in a mood so you never know you will get from him. The bar staff is truly unprofessional with some of their behavior, personal phone calls, eating at the counter..... I'll give it another shot but it's time for management to step in and truly address what professional customer service looks like.

You walk in and the ambience is intimate and dark but still friendly. We were seated immediately and we were taken care of right away. I had the Swiss mushroom burger and it was definitely one of the better ones I've had! Really good mushrooms and good burger patty. My friend had the bacon cheeseburger without the cheese and he also said it was pretty good. Overall the prices were right, it was a good place for a good burger which is what I was craving, and I would definitely return! Would want to sample some of their other food. One of the things I enjoy most about coming to New Jersey is going to all the different diners and pubs and just enjoying what they have. I have lived all over the US and I feel like this is one of the easiest places to get a good and cheap meal without too much hassle and not having to do fast food.

The reason I give it 3 stars is because I don't think they've ever gotten my food order 100% right. They make a tasty burger, but they always forget at least one requested topping on the burger. The menu says "lettuce, tomato, and onion on request" and even though I always request all three, I never get all three. If I ask for a different kind of cheese, I get American anyway. A lot of the time my receipt will have all of my requests on it, but the burger doesn't match. Also, they seem to have downgraded their onion rings. The old ones were awesome and were a major selling point for me as an onion ring enjoyer. The new onion rings remind me of Burger King. Overall solid spot with a nice Irish pub vibe. Waitresses are mostly cool and friendly.

The food is good and they offer seasonal specials which are decent and affordable. We usually dine here 3-4 times monthly so think we are pretty good judges of Maggie's. My only callout here is the inconsistency in service. Sometimes amazing and other times unpredicable. Our average bill is around $50ish plus tip, for 2 people. The management needs to step up their game when training the servers, set them up for success. Our most recent visit we arrived right at opening (12 PM) for lunch. We were the only 2 seated at that time. Our table was in the back and right next to us were 3 employees who were rolling silverware in napkins. We heard their entire conversation about their weekend long before we were even greeted. They need some direction on professionalism and that comes directly from their leadership. Great parking and looks like it might be a fun bar scene for sports fans, we are usually there for lunch.

They have indoor and outdoor seating. The place always has a cool indoor and outdoor vibe! The patio seating has colorful umbrellas on the ceiling. Please check out my video. It was such a beautiful day we had wanted to eat outside. Outside seating was packed. However, the manager brought a table out to the patio for us. Talk about excellent customer service! We had a delicious meal: Banana French Toast and a Pernil Benedict along with a Coconut Mojito and Cosmo. During our visit, the server kept coming around filling everyone's glasses with water. Besides HH & Dinner, Sonoma Bistro & Grill is great for brunch!
