    Tavern Fish and Chips
    Sami U.

    First time at Dunkley's Tavern for me and my boi Omer! Very chill low key bar with lots of room to sit and vibe to the music. The customer service is super friendly and you get your food here real quick! Everything we ordered tasted fresh and delicious - Definitely recommend this spot to all :).

    Burnt chicken and fake potatoes
    Veronica M.

    Highly upset this food took two hours to cook and it comes out looking like this !!!!!!!!!! INSTANT MASHED POTATOES WHAT A JOKE !!! Super salty chicken .. one little packet of honey ,when the menu says honey dipped chicken .. the place is dry with the owner MARY breathing down everyone's backs ... and always sitting there sucking down bottles of wine , she is very ignorant and rude !!!!! Not to mention ,I went for bingo and couldn't hear the callers because her and what looked like her friends were Being really loud as if they were the only ones there . I don't think that was right . And if I could put no stars I would !!!! Will never go back there again !!!!

    Buffalo bbq chicken wings
    Jessica S.

    Came here for the first time with my husband today because we were in the neighborhood and we saw Dunkleys had great reviews, so we were excited to try; however, it was just okay in my opinion. Upon walking in, we liked the vibe. It's a smaller, brightly lit bar with 15+ tables and a long bar. I really loved the fireplace! When it came to service, we had a great waitress! Sadly, I don't remember her name, but she was nice, young, and great at her job. Very personable and always made sure we were good with drinks. I ordered a Blue Moon ($6 for a pint), and we ordered the chicken wings for our starter. On Sundays, they're $0.89 per wing, so we only paid about $6 for them. The wings were pretty good, but the chicken itself was a bit dry. I'm not sure if the cook thought this too because they were drowned in the sauce. The sauce was pretty good, at least, and we got the buffalo bbq. For my dinner, I ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich with mashed potatoes as my side instead of the French fries it comes with (sandwich was $14 with a $2 upcharge for the mashed potatoes). I was so excited to try the sandwich, but I was beyond underwhelmed when I received my sandwich. I have never seen a thinner piece of chicken on a sandwich in my life... Please check out the picture I posted! I could barely taste the chicken, nor did it taste like Nashville chicken spices. All I tasted was the coleslaw that was stacked on top. This was even more disappointing because the restaurant advertises the chicken sandwich on their FB page and in restaurant as a rotating pic on one of their screens, and it looks so good and huge in the advertisement. I ended up eating half of my sandwich, but the mashed potatoes were great and creamy. My husband ordered the Dunkley burger ($15), which was 2 4oz Angus patties with applewood smoked bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and onion rings strings. His looked so good and he really enjoyed his. Guess I should have gotten a burger instead. Overall, I probably won't come back here. They do have good daily/weekly specials, and they apparently have bands who play here on certain weekends, but nothing about my experience for dinner made me feel the need to run back here anytime soon.

    A Guiness Proper Pour!
    Ron S.

    We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a pint and lunch. It was our first visit to Dunkley's. Overall we are very satisfied with the food and felt very welcomed by bartender Suhei. I had the Spicy Crispy Chicken sandwich and it was delicious. My dining partner had the Pulled Pork Sandwich and loved it. Both sandwiches came with a mound of fries. I particularly appreciate Suhei's ability to pour a "proper" pint of Guiness (20oz). She was patient and poured it the way Guiness is meant to be poured; with patience. Too many taverns that have draft Guiness do an awful job dispensing a pint. Suhei knows her stuff! For 3 pints and two sandwiches, the bill was just shy of $55. I think that's good value for what we had. We will definitely be back!

    St Patty's menu
    Dinah T.

    This was our 2nd time here. Last year we came here for St Patrick's Day dinner and again this year! I checked their online menu they were serving food related for lent for those practicing Catholic no beef/meat on Fridays. I called them and they did service Irish pub dishes! I ordered their corned beef meal that came with two sliced potatoes, carrots and cabbage. Vegetables were a bit over cooked but I did enjoy how soft and juicy the corned beef slices were. The carrots and cabbage were naturally sweet. Comfort food indeed, I would get this again! Bubba got the Ruben sandwich with fresh cut fries. The Ruben was well stacked with corned beef slices sauerkraut and thousand island. The Rye bread was nice and soft. It also came with slices of pickles. He would get this again. The wait staff was nice she actually remember us last year lol! The place is cute not too big when you enter the long bar is right there and they have a bunch of high table top w/chairs and regular tables. Flat screen TVs across the bar and the wall. The live band was at the back near the fireplace. They also have a well lit outdoor patio with fire pits. It a cute local bar I would come back here again as I see some tasty burgers on the menu! 2022- We were looking for a place to go for St. Patrick's Day and this came up on my Yelp feed! So blarney let's go! It's a long a strip mall in Edison not too far from where we live. They had plenty of parking. They also have outdoor dining as well as indoor dining. They have regular tables and table tops and a long bar where you can sit as well. It look like they also have outdoor seating and a fireplace with heating lamps as well. We got seated at a high top table and there was also have live music a guy and girl singing and playing the guitar. We tried their signature drinks were good. Their potato soup was thick and hearty. Overall a good local bar to check out!

    Wow. Stopped here while on the road. Clean, inviting, amazing food & drinks, and a great staff. Shout out to Patty and her hospitality. Check out Dunkley's if you like food that's made to order and a great time.

Servers and bussers made comments to us "oh we know you're here for the halftime show!" Before it aired.

They have a daytime area (The Steeple) and a nighttime area (The Biergarten). One is air conditioned / fully indoor while the other is more outdoor, production area vibes. CHECK! Many breweries aren't big enough to offer food. Not an issue here! They have a nice menu and I really liked the BBQ chicken flatbread (perfect size for two). They have close to two dozen beers, seltzers, etc. and out of the 10 we had, they were all pretty darn good. The maibock was our favorite! Be sure to give yourself plenty of time here, you won't want it to be a quick visit. Live music, trivia, etc. offered - check their socials for more info. Thanks to Amanda and Corey for a great reintroduction to Church Street after not visiting for a few years! We can't wait to come back and try more from your beer and food menus. P.S. Yelp found a bunch of photos from our last visit before this one...circa 2019! Holy Water isn't green anymore...

    Happy New Year 2026! My first review of this year. Cheers!…read more Church Street is a spacious, but intimate feeling brewery with a relaxed vibe, tucked away in an Industrial area of Itasca. The on-site parking lot is quite small, but other business lots and street parking is available nearby, especially during events. I tried a sample of their light pilsner and purchased a 12 ounce prickly pear sour. It had a unique flavor to it and wasn't too tart or sour, as I find some to be. I would like to return and try the cranberry sour and German, dry pilsner. Perhaps after "Dry January!" (Hello Mocktails). I did not order any food but I do plan to return and would like to try some of their menu items. I enjoyed sitting at the bar with others and our server was delightful. I have also had their wheat beers which are tasty. Inside the brewery there is a cozy feel and the singing cook in the kitchen was fun to listen to, as he had a nice voice. Check out their fun fan merch for sale too. Happy "Brew Year" all!

Two young girls were repeatedly running in and out of the restrooms, slamming the doors, yelling, and disturbing other customers nearby. A staff member asked that the behavior stop. Instead of acknowledging the issue and correcting them herself, MaryBeth took exception to the correction and doubled down. I stayed long enough to see how it played out. Despite what she implies, no one was cited or charged with anything. The police responded, made it clear they were uninterested in the situation, and everyone went on with their day. People can certainly have different opinions about how the situation should have been handled, but this review does not accurately reflect what I witnessed. Most parents either wouldn't allow their children to behave that way in the first place or would simply correct them and move on. Writing a review that misrepresents what happened is another matter entirely.

It's a good burger. Nothing remarkable, but it did the trick. The fries were good. Avoid the pretzel bites. $13.99 for burned and flavorless chunks. A total disaster. Similarly, skip the Pit Stop Potatoes ($13.99). The potatoes have no seasoning and the melted cheese immediately falls off when you touch it with a fork. Just a greasy mistake.
