Came here a month ago with my wife for the first time, really enjoyed our meals. Food : I ordered the cacio e pepe with shrimp which was both super tasty and surprisingly light to me. My wife got a delicious fusilli and broccoli rabe that she really enjoyed as well. Service : our waitress Ava was super kind and on top of everything. I also noticed that the owner or manager was out helping with the tables which I was not only surprised, but I definitely respected the hustle. Aesthetic: a very nice dining area separated by a look through wall to the well stocked bar makes for a very cozy place.

Miner's French Onion Soup

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.

Local bar with small TVs. Prices are a little steep for average food but a nice spot to pop into for a cold beer.

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.

Inside, the dining area is spacious, and tastefully furnished with a nice warm fireplace in the room. The bar area has plenty of seats and TVs for sports fans. Our server Angela B. was so very pleasant, and attentive. She informed us about weekday events held at The Barn (trivia, bingo, vinyl night) and what sounded like a great Brunch Sat/Sun. We will be returning to experience some of them. We started with "Barnachos" ($18) containing a generous portion of pork (carnitas) and the usual nacho components. No pump cheese here though! Yay My wife had a lovely Greek salad ($19) with feta, grilled chicken, olives, onions, etc. I had a Meat Lovers pizza: pepperoni, sausage, cheese, sauce, peppers, onions, olives, etc ($22). The pizza was served piping hot. The portions were all generous and the food was delicious. We were too full for dessert!
