    Miner's French Onion Soup
    Patricia K.

    Found this hole in the wall driving towards North Jersey! We were immediately seated upon arriving on a Sunday night. Service was quick and most of the food we had was really good! Our favorites were the steak and the potato soup special. I also enjoyed my burrata salad pictured. I do feel some of the options were a little pricier for the portion sizes (potato soup was $13 , 4 small fried pickles was $13 , onion soup was $10) , which is why I took off a star. But on the plus side they offered us to be part of their rewards program. I could see us coming back to try some other food options if we're around the area

    Online ordering and pickup fees charged by restaurant on their website
    Susan G.

    Based on rave reviews, we decided to order takeout from the restaurant's website. The process was simple enough till the checkout page. Tip for takeout is by default set at 20%. Then there were the fees. There's an online ordering fee (which I've seen on third party websites, never on a restaurant's own website) and a PICKUP FEE! I understand the restaurant business is extremely cut-throat and every cent matters. Granted that prices have increased across the board and so has cost of living, but the logic of a pick up fee on top of all the other charges is completely lost on me. The food may be great and in-house dining may be wonderful, but the online ordering experience makes me wonder what other hidden charges I need to look out for.

    NJ Bar & Grill is in the midst of a makeover. Within the next year, it will be renamed to The Miner's Apron. One of the co-owners spent a good deal of time at our table explaining the changes. They're really taking the history of Mine Hill and incorporating it into their restaurant. You can see that just by looking at the names of their cocktails. The new menu has lots of interesting choices. My wife and I met friends there and tried a variety of appetizers and entrees. The French Onion soup was delicious and the Fried Pickles were different but tasty. Our entrees ranged from a burger to fried chicken, grilled chicken BLT, to my Roast Beast sandwich. It was definitely a different menu, but everyone enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for dessert, but the cherry cheesecake egg rolls sounded amazing! This is a good local restaurant. Check it out!

    Chicken parm special with garlic linguini! Very good!

    First time there. Started with the French onion soup. This was excellent! Sorry did not get a pic. Service was excellent. Owner came out to introduce himself and later followed up to see how the food was. Pricing is competitive considering today's environment. I highly recommend! You will not be disappointed!

    What a great little gem! I have been here several times and have never been disappointed. The food is wonderful, always fresh and creative. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. A homey atmosphere and perfect place to enjoy a lovely meal.

    I met up with my besties and had the best evening! I started with a passion fruit speciality…read morecocktail and enjoyed the free chips and salsa. There is a full bar which is huge and can make any drink you wish. They have some excellent specialty cocktails. We ordered the guacamole and chips before ordering delicious entrees. We also got the corn and split it so we had room for dinner. I had the rib eye special with a chimichurri sauce, spinach mashed potatoes, and veggies. The steak was perfectly medium rare and the sauce was perfection. I never had spinach mash before but felt good about getting some extra iron in my carbs. I didn't love the zucchini, (weird taste) but the other veggies were fine. My friend picked the burger and fries to satisfy their beef craving. The fries were crispy and perfect while my friend said her burger was excellent. Other friend went for the salmon and veggies, she enjoyed it and had to bring some home because it was a big serving. Last friend got the chicken rice bowl special and opted for grilled chicken instead of fried. They were super accommodating about making changes so we had exactly what we wanted. Again, big portion so she is excited to have lunch tomorrow. The music is very lively and the service is excellent. Be sure to stop in but do make reservations. We decided to grab dessert and had the lemon raspberry cake plus some of the homemade sorbet. One cappuccino and a cup of tea made us all happy and we enjoyed a nice leisurely meal. My friends had not been here before and we all plan on coming back soon. There was valet parking, so be aware and bring some cash for tips if you are so inclined.

    ***2 1/2 stars***…read more It's rare that I have a mediocre experience where I actually want to go back to the place to give it another shot. I came here yesterday for a post-Odyssey meal with my top-tier chum from the Kingdom of Sussex around 3:30pm. We found this place by playing one of my favorite games, Yelp Roulette, where you scroll through the nearby activity feed and just pick a place that shows up on there. You can really get burned doing that, or find an interesting spot you wouldn't have otherwise stumbled upon. This one was a little column A, a little column B. The overall space is what Norte 175 really has going for it - it's a really cool building, and they've done some edgy interior decorating. It's super spacious and definitely a place I could see myself coming back for drinks in the future. My chum got a margarita but I'm in training so had to forego - arguably, maybe that was the issue; comparing notes, the drink was probably the best item either of us had, and I didn't get it. And it IS a tequila bar. I did get a diet soda, which had solid carbonation, so there's that at least. Neither of us were insanely hungry (we had a bit of fuel before our three-hour movie screening) so we split three apps - the guac, the chicken quesadilla and the grilled octopus. None of them were particularly noteworthy. Palate preference, but the guac had way too much stuff in it for me; I like a smooth, avocado-forward guac, not obscenely chunky with tons of onions guac. The octopus was not the best - texture is really important with that dish, and this one was way too chewy. The accompanying sauce didn't do enough to negate that for me. And the quesadilla was just okay; a bit bland and could probably use some kind of aioli sauce in it, or perhaps more seasoning overall with the chicken. It was fine and the best of the three, which sadly isn't saying much. We also got the raspberry lemon mousse cake (well, pretty much I did - my chum had literally one bite to be polite). As you can see from the attached, it doesn't look like anything like its stock photo on the menu, which is worth noting - still looks fine but given how different it looks in person, arguably false advertising on some level. If you're thinking about getting it, I'd rely on customer photos versus the menu if the optics are important to you. Tasty but a little too sweet - they doubled down, essentially, on the tartness, which made it a bit overwhelming, but I could easily see a lot of people being into this. The service was just okay. Our waitress did stop by occasionally but just didn't seem to be in a great mood. It honestly felt like a bit of an imposition to ask her for anything. Obviously could have just been having a bad day, but when your primary responsibility is hospitality dot dot dot. She wasn't mean by any stretch but I just wouldn't categorize her as pleasant. Is what it is. This place could really benefit from its location, literally five minutes from the Rockaway Mall - and this isn't an area with an enormous amount of options beyond the chains, so they have a legit opportunity to cash in if they can improve the food options. We'll see what happens in the future with round two.

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!

I love to see the American flag outside before walking up the stairs and just all the details of the decor and the warm and professional staff to welcome you is very special. The presentation is also very special. I went to a rehearsal dinner for our friends wedding on Friday, July 24, 2026. I do wish we knew the name of the waitress the evening of the rehearsal dinner because she was so calm, caring, efficient. The wooden decor here is so cozy and the food was made very well and it was fresh. During this particular visit, I enjoyed the salmon and others really raved about the beef dish they ordered. We loved it so much we went back after the rehearsal dinner for another evening. I can now proudly say that I know what it is like to dine here for a special occasion and for a date night. My favorite so far is the clam chowder. It is so delicious and one of the best I have had in a long time. The lobster rolls are very beautiful as well - lobster cooked perfectly and a great amount of seasoning for the fries and the lobster roll. One suggestion I would have is to have the lobster roll to be served with a tiny side salad with the french fries. I feel this would elevate the experience. They have an extensive drink menu and some beautiful craft cocktails. During the event, I was able to see all the different craft cocktails they ordered and they appeared to be exquisite. I enjoyed a nice glass of white wine and felt this paired with my dinner well. The banana bread is also very delicious and served with a lovely custard (I am not usually a fan of all custards). The banana bread, custard and vanilla ice cream was definitely a must try. If you go to Tabor Tavern, ask for Rolyn! Pure hospitality, wonderful energy, and took such good care of us. He kept checking in and provided a five star service but also feeling like a cozy family member checking in on you - quietly and calmly. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to returning with family, friends and date night. I wish the restaurant was a little closer and I am also excited to try the sister restaurants. God bless you all!

I've written plenty of reviews and give honest opinions but this one was the worst, 6 people probably a $4-$500 tab and they blew it big time. You got to get people in and out faster and thats on the managers, drinks and food has got to get out faster thats the way to run an establishment , Never again here, sad to say,
