My family and I were starved. We wanted delicious food and a great energy. We decided on Chimney Rock!. We have been here before many moons ago. As soon as we were seated we were greeted by our server. The place was rocking! Orders were flying by for all tables around us. We ordered cast iron meatballs with ricotta and bread, french onion soup, pot pie, mozzarella sticks, with a large meatball pie. Also a few beers to help it go down. lol Everything was delicious, loved my meatballs and the pizza was as fresh as it can get!! We had plenty left to bring home. read more

Been here previously multiple times and had a fantastic experience and loved the food. This time, however, the service was really bad and the food was not good Three times we have to go ask for items and I had to go ask for my bill, I have no problem with kids at school working as servers, however here the service is impacted highly in a negative way Our pizza itself super soggy, not edible. Definitely will not be back read more

The appetizers (not shown) we had were delicious, we got the fried pickles and loaded tater tots. It took a long time for us to get seated even with a reservation and the table they put the 6 of us at was likely only fit for 4 people. It also smelled a little bit like wet towels in the beginning so that was off putting. But overall I'm the meal was good read more

I returned here for a party. The service was decent. I am not sure if the server had other tables or just our large party. It was a little slow at times and there were multiple requests for items. I was able to have a few of their food items. The chimney salad, rigatoni with vodka sauce, and multiple pizzas were the dishes tried. The salad consisted of lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, pepperoncini, onions, and olives. The salad was solid. It appeared fresh and the house vinaigrette was appetizing. The rigatoni with vodka sauce was pleasant too. There was an ample amount of sauce with just a good amount of flavor. The pasta was cooked nicely too. I had three different types of pizza, regular cheese, white, and pepperoni. The crust was just way too thin for my liking, and the pizza did not hold together due to this. It was just not my personal preference, but overall, not too bad. The white pizza was very soggy, however. The tomato sauce on the regular was pleasant with a nice blend of cheese. read more

My wife and I have eaten here on several occasions. We were dining out with one of my wife's best friends and her son who is also my wife's Godson. Last night, my wife had the Mango salad which she said was awesome. I had a new menu item, the spicy red pepper Cauchicken which was grilled chicken, peppers, onions and arugala in a piquant, spicy sauce wrapped with a toasted Naan bread. It was rice was delishish. I also had a French onion soup but that was mediocre. The service was excellent and our server took great care of us. read more

The food is delicious. I would eat it every day if I could. The bartenders are very personable. Lots of tvs to watch games on too. Love the vibes. Will go back! read more

Great place to celebrate Oktoberfest. Either four different kinds of Oktoberfest beers and 1/2 to full liters this bar is in the spirit. Friendly bar tenders and a specialty German menu for the month to celebrate that German heritage festival of Oktoberfest make this place fun and lively . Ford does not have much seating so be sure to come early to get a seat. But there are booths and tables throughout the restaurant that you can get the same menus at. Their pizza is thin crust and very tasty. Lots of variety in menu try the beehive pie for dessert for a real treat read more

Chimney Rock is an institution of the Bound Brook. In fact, I am not from the area - but rather, my extended family lives here and comes to this place often. Whenever we have a big outing, they always make reservations for this place because it has a large selection of variety on the menu and is big enough to accommodate large groups. Not to mention - every time we come here, the place is packed with locals. Regardless of my opinion, I have to give props to Chimney Rock for establishing itself as a classic. I'm traveling from the Hudson County area, so I am coming with a bias - sorry to all my friends and family in the 'burbs! The pizza is solid here, but nothing compares to the true NY style stuff I'm used. Their appetizers are fine (although the last time we were here, the garlic knots were extraordinarily tough), and the food is fine too. It's a lot of fried things that you really can't go wrong with. There are also some pastas, some mains, and a fair amount of salads if you are in a heathy mood. (But if you're coming here, go for the fried stuff!) To me personally, the decor seems a little outdated. I understand it's supposed to look like a log cabin, but I personally believe some of the older areas (like the bar area, for example) can use a little TLC. This doesn't seem to deter customers, though. Like I said, this place is always packed! I would go here if you want some standard bar fare and a beer! read more

Really great spot for a pizza night! we ordered the buffalo chicken and meatloaf parm pizza and both were excellent. The only downside was that it was about an hour and a half wait for delivery. read more

The Buffalo chicken pizza is made with red sauce which I thought was unusual. I probably would not have order it had I realized that. The vodka pizza was quite good though. Our waitress was good and service was quick. The restaurant is very dark though so keep that in mind. read more

This review is for the Flemington location. Great casual faire for an easy dinner out. Food is pretty consistent and good. My mistake in ordering their burrito. They are not a Mexican restaurant and should stick to American cuisine. It was dry, lacked flavor and any interesting seasoning. Took 1/2 home, dug out the insides & added seasonings with a fried egg for breakfast the next day. My husband's pizza was very tasty and my son ate all his burger so it must have been good (he has fancy tastebuds :) They were busy the night we went so service was a bit slow but it wasn't bad. read more

The food is very good, and the drinks are generous. The ambience is decent and this is a great place to go. If you like to be in a busy restaurant are you enjoy crowded lively places then this is a great spot for you. . The bar is always full once again if you like a place with lots of energy and you don't mind crowded bar then it definitely would be a great spot read more

We were there on a Monday night. No one made eye contact or offered to seat us-after 5 minutes we finally asked if we could eat at the bar. Sure seat yourself...not a solid start. We ordered an old fashioned and glass of cab. Fine, average pours. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza. And waiter and waited and waited. We asked for water...finally, the pizza arrives. It isn't really cooked fully in the middle but the edges are kind of burned. We kept talking-I was in from out of town and we haven't seen each other in years. The servers rarely checked on us, never refilled the water and while they bought a take out box for the pizza, we had to ask twice for the bill and then ask to have them take the card to pay for it. What gives? Ok drinks, mediocre pizza, iffy service. And no World Series, only football on tvs. Pass. read more

I always like the food at Chimney Rock and go there often. However this review is about service. I was there on 2/21/2026. Going into the restaurant I fell in a very large pothole. I cut my knee which was bleeding through my pants along with my hand. I asked the waitress for a band aid and told her what happened. she said she told her manager. This is where I'm annoyed. In the two hours we were there, the manager never came over to see if I was ok. not once! I emailed them the following day to inform them, and 5 days later I have not heard a thing.. VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.. TERRIBLE.. This place should be glad I'm not the kind of person to sue . or should I be? Ridiculous read more

Great for big groups and parties! They have frozen pizzas to buy and take home! Service was good! I ordered the taters with briskets as well as pizza. Ate them so fast that I forgot to take photos! The taters are not as hot as I thought it would. Wished it would serve in a cast iron plate. Because with all cold topics being on top, the taters were cold when they got to the table. Pizza is thin crust, it came to the table hot! But the crust is not crispy. So a little disappointing. I would come back and try other food items on their menu! read more

We are from the are and eat out all the time and I owned a well known 5 star restaurant. We had a very early dinner and sat at the bar and had by far the worst service from 2 bar tenders I have ever experienced. It was shift change and they paid no attention to anything except chatting with the staff about there weekend and ignoring us and when we asked f service it was as if we bothered her. The man next to us almost had to stop them 2 times from taking his plate when he wasn't finished and when he sat and asked about the Octoberfest goulash instead of her not saying anything she said I haven't had it and it looks like the spatzel is maggots.. zero class and what a disappointment after spending $100 on 2 salads and cake and cake with drinks Avoid the late day bartenders read more

It was a fun atmosphere and the burger was really good!!! Great to watch football. They should get a DJ here to liven up Football Sunday but seems like it's more families eating read more

Best. Vegan. Pizza ever! The sauce is so delicious! They also have other great options, like the grow-up grilled cheese. I had my birthday party here with a group of 8 and everyone loved their food. I highly recommend making a reservation when eating here on a weekend night, if you want a short wait time. The vibes are different depending on where you are seated, it ranges between classic dinner booths to a fancier outside space. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the experience fell massively short of expectations from the moment we walked in. No one at the host stand made eye contact or greeted us, and the first table they tried to seat us at was already taken. As a former host and server myself, I found it odd that the solution from the host was to walk us all the way back to the entrance and have us wait again rather than simply finding the next available table nearby. Part of the job is thinking on the fly so as not to inconvenience your customers. Unfortunately, the service didn't improve from there. Our server never introduced herself and definitely didn't seem to care about us or her job. She instructed us to place our menus at the front of the table when we were ready to order, which felt like an odd workaround to actually being attentive and checking on your tables. The drinks were the biggest red flag. The ice was visibly dirty, and we both noticed particles floating on top of our two completely different drinks. We didn't feel comfortable ordering replacement drinks or much food now that it was clear the kind of place this was. What we did try in the way of food tasted like pre-made, frozen, and reheated dishes rather than anything even remotely fresh. For a restaurant that was so packed, even on a weekday, I expected much more. I definitely wouldn't recommend it. read more

Pizza is made with frozen crust I think. It had no taste like it used too. Just a premade crust with terrible sauce and cheese.

So very sad...The Chimney Rock Inn used to be a great place with good food, service, and great pizza. The people who bought it absolutely ruined it, at all locations. From frozen pie crusts to worms in your slimy salad, Just steer clear of this fiasco read more

American menu well done with great burgers, wraps, pasta, full dinner salads to name a few items. Management constantly willing to spice up the menu with seasonal changes. Great thin crust pizza the best around. Bar with friendly servers and a wide selection of tap beers and a reasonable wine display. The only reason for less than a 5+ star rating is the small amount of handy cap parking availability. read more

What happened to the Mozzarella Sticks??? The main reason we'd go there. Now, they taste like freezer sticks. So sad!!!! Oh, and $12.50 for a 9oz pour of Cavit? The whole large bottle costs $15. Anyway. Sorry to see the mozzarella sticks gone down the tib read more

My whole family has enjoyed coming to Chimney Rock Inn from time to time over the last 15 or more years. It's always been a good family restaurant, and recently, they have been excellent! I have to give a special shout out to our server, Michelle, who was extra attentive and made our time here relaxing and comfortable. I tried the newest item on the menu, the mahi-mahi handheld sandwich on a brioche bun, and it was fantastic! The whole atmosphere here is family friendly and casual, good vibes all around! read more

Just updating my 13 year old review. Their main draw is still the thin crust pizza. It's thinner than regular "thin crust" like you'd get at Dominos, Papa Johns, or a regular pizzeria. The slices are also cut narrow, so much so that it only takes me about 3 bites to eat a whole slice. If you're not in the mood for pizza, they have salads, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, and pasta. The wait staff has always been very friendly, whether it's for dine-in service, grabbing a few pies to-go, or purchasing gift cards. If you go during typical dining hours (i.e., lunch and dinner), it will most likely be busy, and a bit on the noisy side but not so noisy that you need to yell to have a conversation. The Gillette location is no longer open but they did open a spot in Flemington. read more

I've been coming to this place for years. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service has always been excellent. Last night I went with seven other family members to celebrate a graduation. We had food and drinks, all of which were very good. However, our server was very cold, very rude and honestly needs some serving 101 classes. For starters, four out of our eight party members arrived and asked for eight waters for the table. She said "well I'll bring you four because it's pointless for me to bring waters if people aren't going to drink them." Like woah, excuse me? This is a restaurant. It's super customary to just serve water. And now the server is really just making more work for herself. Also if they don't drink the waters, so what? Okay that means they will order other drinks which are actual $$$ and will contribute to her tip. Really foolish thinking on her part. These types of interactions occurred all night. She was very aggressive and rude in her communication. It was so awkward and we were nothing but kind and patient with her. Im also someone that tips well, so it pained me to leave less than 20% but I truly had no choice. We would have left a massive tip with a party of 8 - so I have no idea what her issue was. I love this place and have for years but last night leaves a very unfortunate and sour taste in my mouth (not due to the delicious food). read more

Unusually busy restaurant, but food isn't very good. They are known for their pizza. Usually I'm a huge fan of thin crust, but this is completely lacking in flavor. Similar to a tasteless cracker. Very small pies for the price. The largest size is probably equivalent to a regular small pie. I've tried their food a few times now. Would love to see this place improve, but it hasn't seem to change at all. read more

Had a work party at Chimney Rock Inn and was very satisfied with the service. The staff was quick and accommodating. The menu was HUGE and everyone seemed to be happy with what they ordered. I did not enjoy the beef brisket, I couldn't eat it because it was so fatty. The waitress was so kind and took it off my bill without me even asking because I did not eat it. The fries however, were delicious. I would definitely come back here and try something other than the brisket. I especially love that they have such a large selection of gluten free meals!! The vibe is a nice tavern vibe, could come to eat with family or even just grab some drinks with friends. Will definitely be back! read more

We've been consistently coming to Chimney Rock Inn for years and always look forward to our favorite dishes. Food: the rigatoni with vodka sauce is always delicious and highly recommend upgrading to the French onion soup. We always start with the margherita Rosa as an appetizer. It's the perfect bar pie with a nice thin crust and delicious vodka sauce. Service: always have great service. Our server was attentive and quick to refill our drinks. Ambiance: this is more of a casual, family space. Our family threw a baby shower here in the past and everyone loved it! read more

Our second time here for the anniversary and was lucky to find seats by the bar (or so I thought). The bar top was pretty gross and we were hoping someone behind the counter would give us menus or even wipe down the counter but nope. After maybe 10minutes someone finally acknowledges us and says "what can I get you?" I said "menus"... she gets us the menus and we both decide we want the pizza. She tells me we can only order one. I said we arent paying together. She says "you sat together, you came together , you're leaving together". I'm literally blown away at her reply at this point. So we order one pizza and just split it. The lady sitting next to me chimed in after she left and said "she should have just given you the pizza, and left the attitude out" I agreed. It was all really just disappointing & on top of that, just having to ask for everything. The best part was i hear another couple order 2 pizzas (we make sure to also wait and see if they get their order, they did.) My friend took a picture because he couldn't believe it. All that attitude from the waitress ..just to see some other couple get their two pizzas. Guess this establishment has a preference. We leave and as soon as we get to the parking lot my friend said "I think it's a race thing, because that ain't right". read more
