a car parked in a parking lot
Sama C.

This bar is Place like no other. They have a covered outdoor area, indoor horseshoe bar and a private room for a small party. With it's own parking lot you don't have to worry about hunting down a spot. Only thing is it's located in the middle of nowhere. If I lived in the area I would be here every week. The food looked tempting, but that will be for next time.

Open steak, fries and Cole slaw to die for!
Christopher B.

What a great place! After passing Gerry's about a thousand times since they opened, I finally stopped in. I was greeted by Dave, the bartender, and seated in a nice table area set off to the side of the bar. The bar has a really nice Irish pub kind of feel and there were good times being had by many without it being excessively noisy.i had a fabulous French onion soup followed by the best open steak sandwich I have ever eaten! The soup might just be the best I've had too! The meat was quality cuts and cooked to perfection. It came smothered in onions and mushrooms and some fabulous seasonings. Even the in house Cole slaw was fabulous. I will be regular to Gerry's from now on and I encourage anyone else who likes really good food in a casual setting to make there way there!!

Arugula pizza

Let's start with atmosphere, if you're looking for a bar with food this place is it. If your looking for a restaurant ... I would go someplace else. The only tables are in a large bar area or outside. When we went there was one bartender waiting tables and the bar and it was pretty busy. She looked like she was struggling to keep up. The NY strip was good, cooked well and flavorful, the sides were good as well. I really enjoyed the spinach. However, the arugula pizza was the complete opposite. Lack of flavor, not crispy enough for how thin it was, and had an excessive amount of balsamic on it .... Don't order this. Overall 2 out or 5.

Came here for happy hour with coworkers and the food portion was huge and delicious at the same time. Ordered a big plate of nachos and as you can see from the picture, it came humongous and delicious at the same time. It was filled with tortillas, cheese, beef, bacon, peppers, and other delicious ingredients. We also ordered chicken wings and they were well made, delicious, fresh, and generous sizing. Additional sauces were provided: blue cheese, ranch, avocado, and other. Overall experience was superb!!!

Overall **** My son and I just wanted to try something new so we followed Yelp here, we ended up both completely confused and delighted by Gerry's. The name I think is pretty terrible and tells you nothing about what you are going to get but maybe that's part of what is going on here. I went in with very low expectations but came out already thinking of when I could return. The crowd was not my style but that could change based on the night, the service wasn't great but not for lack of effort but it was the food and the value that made this a solid 3.75 Stars in my weighted grading system. Setting *** There is a lot to like about Gerry's, which I believe is going for a old Irish Pub feel with its use of ledgestone and wood and stone floors. There is also a large outdoor seating area in front for warmer months. The bar area is big, really big with a huge square bar dominating the space. I love a square bar for interaction and people watching and this one could probably seat 50+ people around it. The only downside to it is that the bottles are built up too high in the middle so you can't truly see across the expanse to the other side. What else makes a great bar area for me is pub height tables and Gerry's has them in spades. There is a pub height banquet that wraps around the entire outside wall, while not incredibly comfortable it does make great viewing. I took a quick walk around the rest of the place and while there is a separate dining room it didn't look like it gets much use as it was closed on a Monday night anit looked more like it was just used for party's or storage. So why only 3 Stars? There are some minor issues; the crowd and mood for one. Granted this was a President's Day Monday but walking in and hearing strange 70's dance music and the patrons all seemingly well into their 70's made me wonder what I was getting into. There were one or two younger people at the bar but they seemed heavily intoxicated with one drinking Coors Light with a lime, that one struck me as really odd. While the bar was pretty full with seniors the tables were generally empty save for the two tables that appeared to me as divorcee kid swaps going on. So all together it wasn't exactly a fun lively atmosphere. There are TVs but unfortunately they are buried up underneath the enormous bulkhead over the bar so if you are going there to watch sports you better get a seat at the bar otherwise you won't be able to see anything. Service *** At 5:00pm the lone bartender was simply overwhelmed. She was very nice and tried but if I didn't get up from our table to go to the bar and get our own drinks and order the food we might still be sitting there. At 6:00 a younger bartender came on and he was also very friendly and hustled to catch everyone up. There was quite a brisk takeout business going on as well. Food **** Now here is where I was really shocked. While I was taking my aforementioned tour our food was delivered. When I returned my son was half way through his burger (nice manners), he looked up at me and said "I can't believe how good this is", he is a tough critic but he gulped that down and kept repeating just how good that it was. I had the Bangers & Mash, it's rare to find so I almost automatically order it when I see it. My plate had four, deliciously thick crispy and juicy sausage along with an absurd amount of mashed potatoes. Even the onion gravy was well conceived, although a little too thick the onions still had a nice crisp bite to them. This wasn't true 5 Star dining but we both found it rock solid pub food that we thoroughly enjoyed. One minor item I didn't like is they served my G&T in a quasi rocks/wine glass. It felt ridiculously to drink out of and I would have much preferred a pint glass. Value ***** Bangers $14, Burger with fries $10, top shelf G&T $8!!! For that quality of food this place is the epitome of value!

Lots of TVs in bar area
Christine G.

I think I have found my local bar. We walked in well into the first quarter of the Giants game and there was still a bunch of seats available on the bar side. There's a bunch of TVs on the bar side playing local as well as customer requested games. Audio was on for the Giants game. The restaurant side also looks very spacious and had a TV or two. Bathrooms were clean which I find great for a bar. We were greeted right away. They have all your mainstream domestic beers as well as some Irish beers. They have a small craft beer offering but loved that it was local. At the time we were there, they had Kane Overhead IPA, Alementary Oktoberfest, Brix City Porter Authority and Defiant Fake News They have great Sunday food specials. Either 2 for $18 or 3 for $25 on most of their appetizers. Originally they are priced from $11-14 so you get some savings. The ginormous nachos were true to their name but they were very good and crispy despite all the cheese and toppings. Roasted garlic wings had great flavor. Would have loved for them to be a bit more crispy but overall both appetizers that we tried were very good. Looking forward to many more Sunday visits!

Fish and chips
Rus W.

After several years of driving by this place, we decided to give it a try for dinner. Cool place! The restaurant is nice, clean and a nice place overall. The hostess was really sweet and our waitress was very attentive. The food was very good. Open face steak sandwich and the classic fish and chips. We would definitely come back again.

Food is better than one would expect from a "local bar" type vibe. Good service and generally everything else is what youd expect

Built in 1668, this establishment predates the US itself, making it one of the most storied dining…read moredestinations in the country. Wisely recognized as America's oldest tavern with its stone facade, the Old '76 House, located on Main Street in Tappan, has been welcoming guests and was restored to its pristine condition by the Norden family. Step inside, and nearly every corner tells a story that served as a meeting place for local patriots during the American Revolutionary War. It also welcomed General George Washington for dining on occasion. He once received plans at the establishment that exposed Benedict Arnold as a traitor--prompting a dramatic reaction still talked about today. Upon entering without a reservation today for lunch, my partner and I were greeted by the host and got a cozy table by the fireplace with original Delft tiles in the Tap Room. The interior features rustic beamed ceilings, four fireplaces, vintage portraits, historical certificates and documents, as well as costumes and artifacts where patrons were able to walk around and marvel at them. The menu reflects the tavern's heritage, with dishes inspired by early American cuisine. We decided on the Thanksgiving Sandwich accompanied with fries and the Traditional American Meatloaf over Mashed Potatoes and Steamed Vegetables. For dessert, we shared Hannah's Apple Crunch with vanilla ice cream. But even more than the great and delicious food was the history, ambiance, and especially the way we were treated. Our server was Joe and checked on us often. The portion was healthy and the price comparable to the area's. If one has even a passing interest in American history, then it's a must to come here. Not just a meal, but an experience!

The food was great the historical atmosphere wonderful. They had a jazz band that was very good…read more But I was there with 3 friends and wanted to talk and reminisce. Not talk over the music.

Great food and happy hour French elegance…read more Great service We enjoyed sitting in the bar area , just great For a fast bite

Had an early Valentine's Day dinner with the wife the day before Valentine's Day. Brasserie Memere…read moreis an upscale French restaurant located in the Target plaza of Closter. The lighting is dim, the ambiance is intimate, and it looks romantic. I had made reservations so we were seated immediately. It's funny to note that the place settings were placed next to each other instead of across from each other at a four person table. We usually prefer to face each other, but when it's Valentine's day why not be cute? We ordered a few drinks during our dinner, the Sugar Plum Fairy, Memere 75, Avion en papier. My favorite was definitely the Avion en papier which had a slightly sweet, slightly bitter, citrusy taste. They had a pre fixe menu for Valentine's Day which unfortunately did not have the steak tartare i was interested in trying. But for $88, you get 3 courses: an appetizer, entree, and dessert. For our appetizers, we got the TARTARE DE THON (tuna tartare) and COCKTAIL DE CREVETTES GEANTES (shirmp cocktail). Between the two, i preferred the tuna tartare. The shrimp cocktail was good, but the only thing really special about it was the massive size of the shrimp and the freshly grated horseradish in the cocktail sauce. For our entrees, we got the CASSOULET DE CANARD and FILET MIGNON. The extremely tender duck leg confit was served with pancetta, white beans, toulouse sausage, and foie gras breadcrumb. It was rich, savory, fatty, and filling. All great words to describe food. The duck leg confit reminded me a little bit of a smoked turkey leg with the red coloring and shreddable texture. The filet mignon was served with pomme purée, wild mushrooms, and a bordelaise sauce. The filet was cooked medium rare as requested, but a bit under salted. The pomme purée aka mashed potatoes tasted like it was 50% butter so it was obviously delicious. Dessert was good, but my least favorite part of the meal. We got the TAHITIAN VANILLA CRÈME BRÛLÉE and the VALRHONA CHOCOLAT POT AU CRÈME. Both were very sweet. The brûlée crust did not shatter well, but it otherwise had a nice creamy texture. The chocolate pot was covered in flaky feuilletine which gave a nice contrast to the creamy chocolate, but my wife found the brandied cherries overpowering. The cherries made me think of German chocolate cake. Service was excellent. Staff was quick to refill water and checked on us constantly. Pace of the meal was relaxed and I'd even say they were slow to bring us the check since we had been dining for over 2 hours. My wife wants me to bring her back for their bottomless brunch on a Sunday so I will eventually be back.
