We had cheese fries, wings, and onions rings(not pictured) and they were great. The wings were good. The happy hour menu is a good way to try their service and wings.

You should order your food before your drinks because the food takes awhile but it is so worth it. The food comes out hot. The wings were so crispy and we had so many options for dry and wet sauces. I got the Nashville hot dry rub. They get a really good coat of seasoning in the wings but I did wish it was SPICIER given it was three flames (the highest). Looking forward to going back and trying a new sauce.

Their outdoor patio is perfect for leashed and friendly dogs, with tables & chairs, a fantastic The Simpsons TV show mural, and a couple of cozy covered nooks. We were lucky to be served by the awesome bartender Chris, who happily chatted with us about our favorite bourbons. It is a full bar with some genuinely interesting options, including Eric LeGrand bourbon whiskey. His story is as powerful as the pour: after a career-ending injury at Rutgers, he has gone on to become a motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and a member of the New Jersey Hall of Fame. It is best to visit on the early side before the place hits its lively stride.

The nachos were a no from me. The cheese on the nachos was like stadium nachos - straight from the can. The wings were pretty good. Very crispy with a nice sauce. We ordered vodka pizza which was also pretty good. The fries that came with the sandwiches were similar to frozen crinkle cut fries. I expected better knowing that the place was pretty popular, and sports bars typically have really good food. Stick to pizza & wings when you visit. You can't go wrong there!

There isn't a cocktail menu, just basic vodka cranberry/rum & coke which I was a little dissapointed in. But hey, what can I expect from a local pub. With that being said, the happy hour food was totally worth it! I highly suggest the boom boom wings. They were packed with flavor, not to mention the wings are huge. I did feel like this place was understaffed though. We came on a Wednesday night around 6 PM and the place was getting busy with locals. It was only the bartender and one waiter out on the floor. Sometimes it was impossible to get their attention since they were so busy, plus the food took a bit of time to come out. My co-workers and I will most likely return since it was quite affordable and tasty.

What's wild is if you go back to that same list now, most of those places are gone..but this one's still here, still doing its thing. And it's not just surviving off novelty either. It actually feels like Brooklyn. very Bushwick, very laid-back but still a little chaotic in the best way. It can get pretty packed, so don't expect a ton of space, but honestly that doesn't take away from the experience. It's always a good time, and the drinks never miss. If you're looking for a unique but low-pressure spot for a casual date or just somewhere to talk shit with a friend..this is a solid pick. They've got board games, but the real highlight for me? The adult coloring pages lol. Also, don't get offended by the subtle insults around the bar like saying "do math to figure out the tip"... lol I promise it's not that deep.

We sat outside that has a nice set up with heaters and covering all around the deck. The pepperoni puffs were a hit and the sandwich on the special menu. The tots were a miss as they weren't crispy enough and were a bit dry with the chili not being very saucy. The server was very helpful and you could tell a lot of locals come here from the way she interacted with the other tables.

The food here is insanely fresh as was our daily interpretation involving copious use of root vegetables. In a Woodstock mood, I went for a mushroom motif inclusive of a mushroom onion soup and mushroom infused homemade cavatelli. You won't get points for atmosphere as the location is main street central and directly across from an Irish pub that is still serving the same slab of corned beef that they first boiled in 1991. If you're a foodie or even a fraudie, 12 Farms offers infinite pleasures and is richly deserving of a resounding five stars. Speaking of rich bring lots of cash as plastic is not accepted.

The soup sampling consisted of three very tiny cups that were sort of like an espresso size cup. The salad was a very small portion. They said that the portion sizes were not smaller because of the $65 price fix option. If you ordered the salads à la carte they arranged from $19-$22 I believe. Had I did the à la cart and received that portion for that much money I would be disappointed to say the least; my wife and I often share a salad before entrées and generally speaking they are big enough to share but their portion wasn't enough for me alone. Presentation was beautiful and service was great, as well as the ambience, and we have been there several times. We are raying a 3 because of the positives, but I did consider making it a 2. I hope the restaurant takes note and addresses the piints I made. Note that the entrée portions were good.
