    Philly cheesesteak tots
    Christina M.

    Came here to watch the game and grab some food. We ordered plain wings, onion rings, and philly cheesesteak tots. The tots were absolutely phenomenal, I cannot wait to have them again. Service was good - perfect for a laid back time.

    A small little bar by the tracks in Rockaway. Bridget and George provide a warm and welcoming environment. Lisa the bartender is not only easy 0n the eyes but has a great personality to match. Drinks are reasonably priced even on the economical side and so is the bar food. The quintessential hole in the wall/local hangout. I look forward to building a relationship with the owners and bar staff.

    This is our favorite place to go, the previous owners were great and the new owners have kept it that way. Alone or with a group you'll feel right at home. The service, the food, the people, the drinks- can't beat it. A great local watering hole

    Many years ago while trout fishing on the banks of the Rockaway River I stumbled upon this little Gin Mill type Tavern that I thought was your typical "old man bar." What I really found inside was anything but typical. This Family owned and operated Pub was very welcoming thanks to the fine folks here who instantly grabbed my affection and since then have never let go. Now, Great Times are always expected whenever I stop by and visit The Mill Lane Tavern and the atmosphere that feels like anyone's favorite Sports Bar or Pub, is always upbeat and fun. Anything and Everything from the Kitchen has my official Yelp seal of approval but the Cheese Steak Sandwiches and Cheese Burgers are what I would advise a first timer here to order. I think the well seasoned grill has something to do with the amazing flavor of anything that comes off of it. Now I'm Not the only one with some history here, the acclaimed and award winning Miramax Film "The Station Agent" starring Peter Dinklage used the Mill Lane for it's bar scenes. And the Town of Rockaway Borough also served as a backdrop for some other scenes in the Movie. But I will say this about that - It doesn't take a Movie Producer to figure out that this little Tavern Offers So Much More Than Meets the Eye!!

    Mill Street Tavern is a great locals bar. The crowd is always friendly, unless there is a bar crawl coming through -- then it's drunken idiot 30 somethings. Otherwise the crowd is great, the prices are fair and if you go on Sunday during football season they have free food. It's been a while since I have been there but if i recall a pint of Railbender Ale was $4, which is certainly fair for a good beer in a town that doesn't serve very many, Really you cannot go wrong with this place; it may be tiny but it is cozy and whether your there for one or many you're sure to have a good time. The place is also interesting because the movie The Station Agent had a few scenes filmed in the bar.

    Best Cheesesteak in town!

    Great local pub in Rockaway Boro. Food is hot and fresh and drinks are always cold. Great place to stop for a bite and a few pints.

    We kept hearing for good wings go to Knotty Pine in Wharton…read more So we did.... Definitely a hole in the wall but Definitely a gem! The pub is small and the bartenders are friendly. The food is basic typical American menu. Standard popular beers on draft. We Definitely ordered the wings and tried the KKP (which is regular buffalo) and Motor oil The motor oil wings ended up being very good lol We then shared Ribeye cheese sandwich ;Onions & peppers come w/ the ribeye sandwich but I wanted Onions & he wanted peppers, we asked for it on the side & we put what we wanted on our halves Marriage is all about compromising We were so full. The food tasted very good and everything had great flavor! We definitely will be back we enjoyed it very much. If you are in the wharton area give it go and pop on in for some Motor Oil wings!!!

Arrived and ordered 12 wings since they stayed in the menu they were voted best in New Jersey, onion rings, and a couple pints. Went with 1/2 salt and vinegar and 1/2 motor oil which was a seeet Asian chili sauce. Holy wow these wings were the best I've ever had! The onion rings also may have been some of the best I've ever had. Yeah it's bar food but it's bar food on another level! If we ever find our way back to this part of the country we will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Our waitress could have used some service instruction. This was our first time going but we won't be in a hurry to be back due to our waitress. Other staff members were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. At first, our waitress wasn't bad but once it became more busy and you could tell the regulars were coming in she paid more attention to them and completely forgot about us at times. We had to flag down the manager to place our dessert order as our waitress had not been by and we sat for 15-20 mins waiting. The busboy was more friendly and offered extra fries when packing up our leftovers. The manager was also friendly and took our order and checked on us before our waitress even came back. When our waitress finally did come back she asked if we wanted our dessert to be packed up and we said yes, to then get home and find it was like she just flipped the cake on its top, causing all the icing to get stuck to the container. Only valet parking but it's complimentary.

With that being said the service we received here yesterday was outstanding and better than any five star restaurant. I cannot say how wonderful our waiter was.. I can't remember his name because let's face it. I had a few drinks because that's what it's about there. I believe it was. Giancarlo? So the manager if you see this, please let me know if that's correct or not. This kid was incredible. He was helpful without being overbearing. He was great with his beer knowledge, but we really sold me was when there was a table behind us that had a son with special needs at this young man treated that table with kindness and compassion and really we need more of that. To the owner of this business, I know that the wait staff gets a very minimal amount per hour because they depend on tips, but if there's anyway you can raise his base pay, I would love to see that we were only gonna have one drink each, but because of how he treated us we ended up having two for me and three for my husband, that young man is an investment
