General Saloon - Good times with good friends - Bars Near Me - Old Bridge Township, New Jersey

They have a really good bar pie. Super thin which i love BUT extremely oily. Good place to hang out with friends

Best pizza in middlesex county And it's not a pizzeria. All the food is above average. But the pizza is incredible!

Definitely been awhile but it was worth the wait I suppose. Tables were crammed too close together the staff could barely get thru with food and drinks. The place was very crowded. We ordered our drinks which came quick. An appetizer and our food also came out relatively quick. What can I say simple bar menu basics. My friend ordered a pizza and I ordered a burger. Pizza was thin crust and well done, I actually had a slice not bad but jusy reminded me of a better version of frozen pizza. The burger was a decent size, nice roll and well done steak fries which were really good. The burger was over salted, too much seasoned salt. Other than that not too bad. We also had broccoli bites which were quite delicious. Chunks of broccoli and cheese. I would order them again. Nice crowd. Alot of families surprisingly and large groups. I would definitely come back here to try other things on their menu out of curiosity. Not a bad place to hang out with friends. The bar itself was quite large and roomy. Definitely worth a check in... read more

Pizza sizes are small......I ordered an extra large pizza with onions and pepperoni.. it looked like a medium size pie for $21+

Our sincerest thanks to Mike and his staff for making our mom's 87th birthday so memorable. Of all the places she could have chosen, she wanted to go to the General Saloon. Great food and a great staff. Couldn't thank them enough. read more

Git your boots on and mosey over to this spot! The food is well prepared and very tasty! Missy, our server, was quite attentive and very friendly. The overall appearance of this establishment is good, however, the tables are a little on the large size, so it makes for some overcrowding. I was reading the reviews before we went and I was a little taken back by the complaints about the food not tasting well. "tasted like it was made from frozen food". Let me tell you this was not the case. We had appetizers and an entree each and it was great! The Cajun steak bites were delicious and cooked perfectly. I also got the fish and chips. But my girl got a saloon burger and it was also cooked perfectly!! The drinks were original and delicious! I had the "Spiked Palmer" which was lemonade and ice tea with Vodka. Awesome! There are a ton of tv's and the bar was big. I would recommend this spot for a good burger and a beer. read more

My second time ever at the General Saloon. My first visit was fantastic. Great service, great food, very friendly server. Even met the owner Mike, great guy ! Today, my second visit ever, sucked !! Sat at the bar. A thin blond girl pushed a menu at me in my direction. I quickly decided on what to order. I then sat at the bar for exactly 15 minutes until i got tired of watching her play with her phone and talk to a fellow customer at the bar. The bar was empty yet she was too busy to take my order. I never touched my soda yet I still left cash to pay for it. Then, this female bartender was arrogant & condescending when I voiced my displeasure. This experience was so bad, it ruined any chance of a third visit. Terrible rude & slow service, for no reason at all, is inexcusable. If I was the owner and read this review, I would immediately terminate this rotten bartender. She will be the only reason why I would never return and spend my money. It's so hard to get new customers in this economy. Sarcastic, pissed off bartenders who want to play with their phone and ignore taking an order, are easy to replace. I wonder how many other customers will boycott this bar / restaurant because of this horrendous employee. Disgusting & pathetic. read more

Excellent tavern style pizza. All there food is very good and the fries are top notch. The staff is friendly too.

Great local bar - good food - friendly service Great place to watch the games on Sunday! read more

This place is awesome. Really chill atmosphere and surprisingly great food. Never disappoints.

This is sort of a locals bar. So everyone knows everyone and you can strike up a conversation with just about anybody. There are enough TV's to go around and a decent amount of seats. It does fill up pretty fast when there's a sporting event on so get there a bit early if you want to watch a game. The food is good, not taste-bud spectacular, but good enough. I will say the buffalo wings are NOT spicy/ hot at all so steer clear if that's what you're looking for. The staff is friendly and are attentive as well. read more

The other day I was there and we were served by a girl named Alice, and the whole experience was horrible. Not only did she take forever to bring me my drink, but my drink was made wrong (BOTH times) and she was so rude to me the whole time, only caring about certain tables if she knew the people. The food tasted great, but I had to give it one star only because of the service we received from Alice. read more

Went here last night for dinner, figured we try a place we hadn't been to before. Place was pretty empty. Took a few minutes before waitress came over to take drink orders. Had the jumbo pretzel for appetizer and it was ok. Enough for three people, probably four. My daughter ordered the boneless wings for dinner and a side of fries, they came out before mine and my boyfriends food. Thought that was strange, while yes it was an appetizer, she ordered for dinner. And fries came out a little after her chicken. It was one server bringIng out one item at a time. Odd. I had pulled pork sandwich, which was good but could have had more flavor and actually been shredded and not have hunks of pork which was difficult to eat. Ordered tater tots, my fav but very bland. Boyfriend had the chicken francese which was bland and he bbt into a crunchy part of chicken, eww. Found it to be expensive. Definitely won't be back read more

The best burger! I love it here. We moved to Old Bridge 2 years ago. I ordered from Uber and it arrived hot and delicious. I was so impressed I will order again. My husband got the chicken cheesesteak and also enjoyed it. I will def be stopping in and I def will order again. read more

Great place .. great food ... awesome atmosphere ... great staff ... bar pies are epic !!!!

I've been coming to the general saloon for a few years now since it opened. I used to do trivia here before they stopped doing it, but it's a nice addition to the area in Englishtown for a drink or a good burger. The burgers and chicken sandwiches here are fantastic as well as a few other items on the menu. The bar stools here have seen better days, lot of wear and tear in the seats. Also the thin crust pizza I've had here is usually very good, but when I had it here tonight the toppings were underneath the cheese instead of on top so it was kind of hard to taste what I was eating under it, and also the slices were really uneven (some were larger than others) The other issue I have with this restaurant is the service. The waiters seem a little inexperienced, and a lot of tables I saw got incorrect orders. It also took a little long for our food to come out. So in general, some of the food here is really good and with a little more attention to some of these details, I would definitely come back more often. read more

Megan and Kayla are the absolute best and are the reason why I come at least once a week. Tuesday's are my favorite day because Rob joins Megan and Kayla and the three of them provide such a great environment that it keeps me coming back! I've come other nights, and it's just not the same. So, if you're looking for a great night with great servers and bartenders, go here on a Tuesday night and you won't regret it! read more

I love this place. The food is great and the portions are large. The prices are very reasonable and not have been jacked up like the other restaurants. super friendly atmosphere. One of my favorite places for dinner, lunch or drinks. read more

Local dive with a country motif. The beer is cold. Mostly local crowd. The cooler lights illuminating from behind the bar is unnerving. A bizarre mix from 20 something's to 60 something's. Deserves a 2.5. read more

I originally gave this place 3 stars, which was totally unfair. It's nice inside, it's clean, great specials, reasonable prices, and good pub food. I tried the bar pies again, and they really are damn good. Very thin crust, but very tasty. The service on both my visits has been spot on - very friendly and attentive. We tried some apps and nothing disappointed. I look forward to adding this place into the rotation. read more

I've been to this bar a couple of times during the day. It is the reincarnation of Race Zone, a true dive with great pizza that closed about a year ago. The place looks entirely different now. Another review said there's a rougher crowd there. That may well be true at night (haven't been there yet at that time) but there were kids there during the day when I was there and it seems like a fine place to bring them. The menu has been somewhat streamlined and is a bit generic, and I think more expensive than Race Zone was. Thankfully, the pizza is still very good---perhaps the one thing they haven't changed. read more

If you dont mind rubbing elbows with some rough looking NASCAR type then you will enjoy this place. Bar was packed when I went on Sunday yet the service was great. ( young blonde girl Jamie or Jessica was here name) was very friendly and quick behind the bar. Its not much of a sit down restaurant. The focus seems to be the bar which is fine for me. Beer selection was pretty good and the prices were awesome. I had a bar pie and wings to go and they were very good. They also have packaged goods and have a better selection than their in house draft. read more

They're not going to win any culinary awards but this is my favorite new place for drinking beer and eating bar fare. The place is newly renovated so clean and modern. They have lots of flat screen hdtv's so a good place to catch the game (not to mention car racing if that's your thing). Prices are reasonable. Bartenders and servers have all been great. And the best part is that the food is way above average compared to other places serving similar fare. My only complaint is the air dryer in the bathroom. They don't blow hard enough. I always wind up having to dry my hands with paper napkins or on my pants. read more

The food here is nothing special and I really think shortening up their menu and focusing on quality could really make a huge difference. Apart from food though, the service here is what steals the show with how inattentive and unfriendly the bartending/waiting staff is. I could totally understand if the place was busy on a Friday night and you were hustling to take care of everyone, but in the couple of times I've been here this definitely wasn't the case and I've walked away disappointed every time. Quality and service are the foundation for any successful restaurant and unfortunately both are nonexistent when it comes to the General Saloon. read more

Nice place to hang out and get a drink after work on a Friday. If you come later at night it's quite the mix of people. Pretty chill place and not that bad but recently went and there were some really trashed people there who were extremely rude. Honestly felt like the bartenders should have stopped serving them but they continued to take shots. Food is eh. You have to really get the true bar food here...nothing fancy. Do not get the spinach artichoke dip. Not the place for it. The pizza and/or wings is the way to go. Later at night when it's crowded too the parking kind of sucks but there is a side street you can park on. Good place to go if you want to just grab some drinks and chill but don't expect much! read more

this establishment is trash. My boyfriend and i were not treated well..we were Ignored by bartenders and waitresses alike. When i asked for the manager he blew us off. Wouldnt even come near us. The waitress pointed us out, he took one look at us and walked away. TRASH. You can get better service from a blind guy at an eyewear store. Stay away. Douchebag.com read more

Hands down a great place to eat! Mike was awesome. They helped us get a table ready for 6, plus our 87 Year old mother..celebrating her Birthday..on a busy Friday night ..food and service was awesome... read more

Nothing fancy about this place but their pizza is amazing. It's perfect thin crust. The cheesesteak egg rolls are a must try. Burgers and sandwiches are solid as well. Staff is usually nice and attentive. It can be a bit loud because of the jukebox but not overbearing. They host bands on the weekends too. It's a regular spot for us so I would recommend going. read more

Rude waitresses! That automatically tipped for me. And treated my party like we were stupid kids.

Horrible service had me waiting 30 minutes for some mid chicken fingers and fries. Then without asking anyone added a 20% tip.

This place is good for the eat out and refreshment. I like their hot wings and steak. My kids like their pizza. Price is reasonable and delicious menus choose from. read more

Was there today and ordered a steak which was completely frozen and raw burnt on the outside and I ordered medium salads came out with huge chunks of tomato and cucumber no real taste to be fair The mini tacos Came out and one of them have a piece of plastic film on the inside was just really sickening read more

Not impressed. Watered down drinks, undercooked/overcooked food, just blah burgers... service at the bar was slow. Very unintentional bartenders and waiters never knew who the food was going to. For a Friday at 10pm there were maybe a dozen people in the place. read more

Live bands are nice. Bar food is not wonderful, but the drinks are good. It could up the quality of the food if it wants to market itself as a family place by day and a bar at night, or decide which it wants to be. My review is as a bar with live music. In that sense, it's nice. Hate the chairs. They are uncomfortable but functional . Owner seems to pander, ( the three times I was there) to regulars and local off duty cops which is a turn off, but if you want a drink and to hear live music, it's pretty good. read more

Very nicely renovated saloon themed bar. Staff is extremely friendly. It's typical bar food with the exception of the pizza which is exceptional! The burgers are very good too. If you're looking for some beer and pizza while you're watching the game, then this place is for you. read more

This place is tiny. All the food tasted like it was right out of the freezer and into the fryer. I can't figure out how this place has as many stars as it does. Four of us met there after work. Waitress couldn't kick us out if the table fast enough. Then she doesn't give me my credit card back. I had to ask for it and wait for her to find it. I understand the place is small but we are paying customers who tipped more than 20%. We should not be rushed out of the place. And it's not like we sat there for 2 hours. read more

I went here with some other people and we were only welcomed to overpriced terrible food, along with horrendous service. We had to pay a 20% tip, UNBELIEVABLE. I would never recommend such a place ever. read more

I came with my football team, 12 or so of us. We split a bill between 4 each. One they wouldn't let me and my friend order only water so we were forced to order food. Second at the end each bill were almost 100 dollars which makes no sense. Over priced for poor quality food. Third, the place had such a uncomfortable vibe, went to the bathroom and they were questioning where we were going. Confederate flag on one of the cars in the front. And two disrespectful waitresses who had attitude. And one of the people had a huge knife. last, they added extra to the bill. 20% for no reason plus 20% for a tip. I do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This place is solid. Great specials. Awesome drinks. Great food! Wings are not breaded! Pizza looked super tasty! Live music. Great crowd- youngins, families, folks looking for a good time and bikers. I just wish they would get rid of the white walls. It would help with the ambiance. read more
