We had high hopes for this in place in Berkely Heights having heard that the Madison location was…read moregood. That location is permanently closed. The food was not good here and we were disappointed. Burgers were a tasteless mess. Fries and especially Onion Rings tasted like old oil. Fast food chains are much better. I went to a nearby Wendy's the next day to compare. As for ambiance, typical take out place with a couple of tables. So loud you had to scream to be heard by other people at the same table. Sorry guys, you need to step up your game. Will not be returning.

Everything is so good here and everything is customizable. For their burgers, you can customize what kind of bun and toppings you want. For fish you can customize whether you want it on top of rice or salad & then there's so many toppings you can add on top of it as well. My go to order is: grilled shrimp over brown rice with the following add ins - avocado, pico de gallo, friend egg, sautéed onions, and spicy mayo on the side.

The French onion soup was really good. The soup was perfect. It was not as salty as your typical French onion soup. The mozzarella melted on top was delicious. The French bread with the soup was delicious. As for the thin crust pizza, it was great! The thin crust was firm. The sauce was was enough. The mozzarella cheese had caramel burnt marks. The crust was nicely charred. Overall, the pizza was very good. First time here tonight! And will definitely comeback to try the other entrees and apps on the menu! The food came quick and our server always checked up on us! They have a decent amount of beers on the tap!

Plenty of parking in street if needed. Inside is dark and inviting and they have a cute outdoor dining space as well. They start out by serving fresh Foccacia with seasoned olive oil. For starters , my wife and I shared an eggplant tower, fried eggplant layered with mozzarella and tomatoes. Very good. Our friends shared a salad and enjoyed as well. For mains our friends both ordered the hanger steak, my wife had the salmon, and I ordered their chicken special ( a boneless breast wrapped in pancetta). Everything was not only delicious but plentiful. Owner checked on us several times during our meals. Highly recommend trying this establishment.

Cute interior with Christmas decorations already making things festive. We were greeted and seated near the cozy fireplace. Started with the harvest salad, conveniently split in the kitchen. Delicious. Entrees were pappardelle ragu and their seared tuna. Both were fresh and flavorful. We finished the evening with their house made tiramisu. Yum. Will be back as service was attentive and friendly, food was great and loved the decor!

Attended a birthday party at The Smokehouse, the beer garden located behind the Stirling Hotel. The…read moreoutdoor space is huge, with a large parking lot, lawn games, areas for children to play, and a spacious tent filled with tables. There is also a small bar where you can order drinks and bring them back to your seat. Our group had a private tent area reserved, and the event was well organized. Buffet-style food had been arranged before our arrival, and we were able to bring in decorations, a birthday cake, and other party favors without any issues. The outdoor bar stops serving around 9:00 p.m., but we were able to move to a covered area near to the hotel restaurant and bar, which was equipped with heat lamps and provided a comfortable place to continue the evening. Service throughout the event was quick and friendly. I would definitely recommend The Smokehouse for group gatherings, birthday parties, or a casual day out. There is plenty of space, the prices are reasonable, and the staff does a great job accommodating larger groups. Also, it's conveniently located not far from the train station.

Have to downgrade my rating due to recent experiences with the beer garden. The inside menu is…read morealways delicious but the smokehouse menu in the beer garden is awful. Nachos are super weird with a strange cheese and baked beans. Brisket was tough. Wings are small. All of it is extremely expensive for what you get and there's no service, you have to stand in line and then pick up when the buzzer calls you. Love live music and the band was great, but it was so loud I had to put earplugs in. My group couldn't talk to each other. Sad about this experience but I really hope they see this review and make some adjustments.

From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Our server was attentive and professional, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and quietly classy--ideal for a relaxed lunch and conversation. I started with the Candy Roaster Squash & Coconut Soup, a vegan dish with a warm, sweet, and hearty flavor profile. It was absolutely perfect on a cold winter day. For my entrée, I ordered the Brewer's Burger with pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato, rosemary aioli, and a side of frites. The flavors came together beautifully--salty, sweet, and savory notes all working in harmony. Truly a dance in your mouth. One additional detail worth noting: the gender-neutral accessible restroom was spotless and had a very pleasant odor. It was top-notch, just like everything else about this restaurant. I would absolutely return.
