    Damn good pizza
    Jennifer N.

    If you're looking for that classic neighborhood staple with rustic vibes, cold drinks, quality comfort food, and a place where everyone feels like family, you need to check out General Saloon in Old Bridge, New Jersey. Whether you're meeting friends for drinks, catching the game at the bar, or sitting down for a hearty meal with the family, this spot just has that welcoming hometown energy.

    White pie
    Christopher K.

    This is the best thin crust bar pie in Central New Jersey. Even better than Federici's. Also, check out their Saloon Soup, which is original and delicious!

    Great local place. We enjoy grabbing a pizza and having a few cold beers. They also make a great burger. Monday night is prime rib night but you have to get there early before they run out.

    Dive bar. Bar pie was disappointing- dripping grease. Crust had potential but the grease was a deal breaker. Service was begrudging. Pass.

    ex large sausage pie

    This place is very friendly, wait staff is amazing so pleasant. The pizza lives up to the hype , thin crust pizza perfection

    Surprisingly excellent bar pie with thin real dough crust and fresh ingredients--a cozy local bar with friendly service and good food

    Food was great they make an awesome tavern pizza xtra large only $13.99 had Seltzer served with no tude (sometimes when you don't order drinks they get upset) Service was great place nice inside

    the bar and televisions in the background
    Chris M.

    The name says it all, it's a very open General Saloon with a little western vibe to it. Music is not too loud, nor the TVs, nor the crowd for the most part. You can certainly people watch from the edge of the bar and listen to a lot of conversations happening all at once because of the open nature of the place. Went there for a date with food & drinks. The bartender kept checking in on drinks, though didn't always hear me correctly the first time around. Not too big a crowd and certainly cleared out by the 10 PM hour. Nothing special on the pours or the food but got the job done.

    Great bar pizza! We came at 5pm on Friday and it was relatively empty. But soon it was packed! The bar too! Great service, great food, good prices. I highly recommend. The large pie was enough for me to eat half and bring the other half for my husband.

    I have been to the Matawan location a million times so my expectations were super high. I was…read morereally disappointed in comparison. This location does not have outdoor seating, they did not have some of the items to make the drinks on the menu and the food just wasn't the same as the matawan location. That being said, the service was incredible. Everyone was so nice and friendly and attentive. I would definitely give them another shot though

    MJ's in Spotswood had the 'Dowden Brothers Band' for last night (5/29) on their website, but in…read morereality only one person was singing and playing an acoustic guitar in the bar area. Is it a false advertisement or an "one man band"? Very disappointed to say the least since we went there so we could dance to a full live band. Having one person playing in the bar area just adds more noise. A full live band is loud and energetic which drowns the noise and gets people on the dance floor and sit there tapping and/or nodding their head. Before 2026, MJ's in Spotswood had full bands playing almost every weekend. Now it is just the other way around with one or two musicians. You really need a drummer to get people on the dance floor. The Cabin restaurant in Freehold on the other hand always has full bands playing every weekend and the dance floor is always packed as well as the rest of the restaurant. We like MJ's in Spotswood since it is close by us and our friends. We hope it will bring back full bands on the weekends regularly. Also, We went to MJ's in Spotswood last Tuesday night (5/26) for their prime rib dinner special. It didn't come with a salad. Asked for an end cut but they said they don't serve them. The prime rib on both plates had globs of un-rendered fat and gristle but no crust. We spent half of our time trimming the fat and gristle away. The cheese on the baked potato was not even melt. The bacon bits on the baked potato were so dry and hard. No butter or sour cream. The only thing good on the plate was the green beans. So not sure their prime rib dinner is worth the price.
