    We met up with some friends for dinner at Crogan's Montclair. It's a corner restaurant with street parking only. Ambience: spacious, table and booth seating. It can hold a few large groups of people. They do have a full bar. Two separate multi-user restrooms for men & women. Food: *French Onion Gratinee: topped with melted swiss and a touch of parmesan (4/5). This was very good! It was flavorful, rich, and not salty at all! The melted swiss was gooey and savory. *Prime Rib (Served on Fri, Sat, & Sun): 12 oz prime rib served with baked potato and sautéed green beans (4/5). Luckily, they still had a medium rare piece left. Tender, flavorful and came with au jus, straight horseradish. The green beans were delicious also. *Beet Salad: red beets, green beets, roma tomatoes, feta cheese, and mixed greens tossed with a herb vinaigrette (4/5). My wife liked her salad. I thought it was pretty good. Our friends ordered their favorites of the...they looked delicious. *Baby Back Ribs: succulent pork ribs slow-cooked and smothered in their house BBQ sauce served with French fries and coleslaw. *Chicken Cobb: Roasted chicken breast, bacon bits, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, crumbled Bleu cheese, & Bleu cheese dressing. Service: The waitress was very patient, helpful, and attentive. The busboy was helpful in clearing the dishes, refilling water, and drinks. Support your local business.

    Crogan's is one of my favorite places to eat in Montclair Village. It has friendly service, a great menu, and delicious drinks!

    Crogan's Philly Cheese Steak
    haobin g.

    The Philly steak loaded with melted cheese and jalapeños is good. I think it needs more flavors. I only taste the cheese most of the time. I would like it more if it has more sauce on it. The sweet potato fries is good. I like it better than the regular French fries. Staffs are nice and serve your food in order. Many parkings available on the street.

    Chicken linguine

    I Like coming here. I had a Long Island ice tea requesting they use top shelf alcohol and was happy with the outcome. The crab cakes were alright. This appetizer typically is hard to please wherever you go. Often times it tastes like there is a lot of filler. Sweet potato fries were satisfying. Can't go wrong with them. I had the chicken linguine as my main entree for lunch. It could use adding more pasta. Can't cost that much more to add this to the dish. Would make for a happier customer. The dish otherwise was tasty. I am very pleased by the visual appearance of all the food and drink. You can't say that about all restaurants.

    Been wanted to come and try this place. Arrived for dinner. It was easy to be seated and greeted at the entrance. Menu was straightforward. The food arrived on time. The service was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is casual with good seating. Would try again and recommend giving this place a try.

    I chose to dine in this restaurant for my birthday dinner and was unfortunately met at a crossroads. My group and I were quickly seated, and the server who waited our table was very attentive and pleasant. The environment was also calm, quiet, but also scattered with patrons who I sensed were regulars. While I found the menu to be quite appealing, and I also took my waiter's recommendation to have the Philly Cheesesteak over a burger, who said it was amongst the most popular items at the whole restaurant, it was anything but fulfilling. The amount of food for the serving was more than fair, but it tragically had no flavor whatsoever. It was so bland that I opted to take the remainder home because I simply couldn't enjoy it. Likewise, unfortunately, my wife's sandwich which was a French Dip. Both of us agreed that our meals were not necessarily horrible, they were just sadly incredibly underwhelming in regard to flavor. Fortunately, not all of our items were met with this disappointment, as my uncle ordered the Crogan's Hamburger which he rated 8/10. I asked him multiple times if he was certain that his burger and fries met his satisfaction, and he couldn't have been more reassuring that was exactly the case. As a result, I rate the Crogan's a 3/5. Honestly, everything was great except for the food and given I chose this for a birthday dinner, that only added to the disappointment. My take shouldn't deter others from coming to the restaurant aside from mixed takes on their cuisine. The place has great staff, a comfy and welcoming environment, as well as decent wait times on getting customers their orders.

    Francisco helped me out today. He went above and beyond with his 5-star gold service. I called in after hours asking for help and he stayed to offer me support with the kindest voice and warm energy. I've had the fish and chips which are amazing (I have high standards for this dish). French onion soup is on pointe and the clam chowder is pure comfort food. The mandarin chicken salad is refreshing too. Will come back for the yummy food and impeccable service!

    A neighborhood spot ... comfy!

    Back again and again. It's the neighborhood gem. Their burger is fantastic. I brought a few friends here recently that have never been here before, and they really loved it. They keep asking to come back. That's a good sign!

    Had a great time here! Service was good, we ate some cozy food, and were super satisfied after :)

    Black bean nachos and steak
    Brandy T.

    Crogans is a solid go to. I've eaten there in person twice and quite a few times via Uber Eats. When in person the service was decent. I've eaten the following: Braised Short Rib: Tasty and tender but could have used more seasoning Potato Skins: Delicious Black bean nachos: Yummy - lots of high quality cheese and I add steak. Steak and salad: Super fresh and a good portion of steak. I would request the meat be done a bit more. I want to say it was medium rare. But I will order again When you order with uber they give you a free cookie. The price point is a bit high but all the ingredients are high quality I like that the items come in containers that can be composted.

    What a treat…read more.. Hadn't been to the location since it was Guaymas - what a transition. Same beautiful views, upscale interior that goes with the casual like atmosphere. Outside seating was relaxing and the views complimented the evening. Nice to see staff members with smiles on their faces, don't always see that at a restaurant! Fharid was the server, ever attentive, but just enough! What's important...the food! Romaine Caesar Salad - just enough of the flavorful dressing to compliment the salad. Roasted Half Chicken - tender and absolutely delicious. Portions were very filling. A wonderful homemade peach mint chutney enhanced the flavor option if you so wished. I love chutney, wished I could buy a bottle to take home! Dark Chocolate Cake - words can't describe how good it was! Dark chocolate cake, sour cherries, fresh whipped cream - a piece of chocolate art. Hated to destroy the dessert, but I did! It was decided I should meet the baker. She came out and I thanked her again for the beautiful and flavorful surprise. The Bungalow Kitchen: Great evening, wonderful food, atmosphere is superb, lucky to live nearby.

    Positive: Great Location.. beautiful views and excellent service…read more Negative: Sorry to say but I expected top quality food and it was less than mediocre. Had the Spicy Tuna Rolls which were just okay - the tuna did not look or taste fresh, it wasn't fishy... it was flavorless. Also had the Tomato Grilled Peach Salad, the tomatoes were mealy and super soft and there were hardly any peaches (which were cut to the size of a pea).. it was sad. Service was great and the venue is nice, but the food ... not worth it. Would I go back? No

Service was attentive and helpful, the room is pretty from the outside and prettier from the inside.

The restaurant space is well-lit, has plenty of indoor seating and seems suitable for a date or casual get-together with friends. My partner would give the food a five-start rating for its simplicity, generally flavorful, with spicy sauces and THE BEST guacamole! He had the Korean spare ribs and mash potatoes. He found the ribs to be fall-off-the bone tender, with potatoes that were more whipped than mashed alongside a carrot puree. I, on the other hand, had the New York Steak and au gratin potatoes. Though I wanted to enjoy my entree, I found the New York Steak to be unfortunately chewy and with too much fat. The au gratin potatoes could have had more crispy layers but tasted mediocre. Though I'd only rate this first experience with three stars. the service staff DID win us over and could potentially be the reason I'd be open to giving it another try.

The food we got to try was mixed. Caesar salad & corn soup, good. The coconut shrimp somehow had no flavor, and the oysters Rockefeller were fine. Our issue was primarily with the service. We were there with two kids under 5. We told them upfront that we wanted to eat quickly given this. Long story short, it took an hour forty minutes to get our entrees. At which point we had to get the food to go. The restaurant after they were asked comped a little, but were not very apologetic about the wait just saying their wait staff were busy. So it seems like they may need to invest in more waiters. This was made all the more frustrating because it was one of my kids birthdays, which we put in our reservation note, but nothing was done to make this in any way feel special or accommodating. Overall, if you are going for the atmosphere and to have dinner, I think it is a nice restaurant given the views. But if you took this away, I would say the food and service are not up to standard.
