Since my last review of Softtail, I think I've been here with my Son and for my 40th High School…read morereunion. Last Sunday I was here to meet up with some classmates, which would have made this a mini-51st Reunion. As the picture shows, I think we've all aged fairly well, but noting with sadness the classmates who have passed on. The menu here had good choices, the restaurant/bar space was clean and comfortable, and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The food was good enough, but somewhat besides the point considering all these home town friends coming together. My only complaint is that the very nice and accommodating waitress didn't know how to make change for this cash-only business.

I never go to this place without it taking a longtime to wait for food. Wait staff is not friendly nor very urgent. Will take their time getting to their tables and sometimes will not come back to the table for a long time. This place is always busy no matter the day or the time. Always a great place to go with friends and know I'll have a good time.

The kids Chicken strips were also over cooked and dry. The slider cheeseburger was satisfactory but nothing to make a special trip for. The server was kind and friendly but perhaps they were understaffed for the crowd. The response was slow, but guessing that's more of a staffing decision.

Beer City has really stepped up its game!…read more My father in-law is from Remsen and I've been to this hidden gem a handful of times over the years. My last visit was for a large family outing, after a wake. When I was told we'd be going to Beer City-- I was skeptical. But since my last visit it has expanded and it's private dining space is top notch. I could totally see it being a hot spot for graduation parties, bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays and more! The pizza was fabulous and the broasted chicken was so darn good. (I don't even like broasted chicken.) Staff was friendly. Pricing was right. Parking isn't really an issue. My only two issues were that Beer City only takes cash or check, and that my kids now have a gambling addiction due to the lotto cards sold here lol. Overall, if you're in Remsen-- you'd be crazy to not go to Beer City.

They have a varied menu and offer a lot of options. I'm a vegetarian, so steak wasn't part of my plans, but I did end up choosing the standard side for a steak, a fully loaded baked potato. I had hoped for an IPA, but they explained that they'd offered them in the past without much interest from their regulars. I ended up drinking a couple of Sam Adams, and that complemented my potato nicely. Everyone was very friendly and the prices were good. The menu items on Yelp were out of date, so I took photos of the present menu. I forgot to take a photo before I started mashing my potato...better late than never. I would definitely go back if I'm passing through again! They also have two pool tables and a dart board, if you like them.

Didn't seem overly excited that there were outside of the normal folks there, but we were greeted and served. The food was basic. Fried gizzards were ok as were the mozzarella sticks. Seemed like the oil needed to be changed. Nothing special about the nachos. The Tap Patty Melt was bland. The bread had a bit of an off taste from the griddle. Overall, it was food and wasn't completely horrible, just not great.

Bergen Bar & Grill is hands down one of the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants I've ever been to!…read more Food: Do yourself a favor and order the filet mignon and wild rice -- and don't forget the side of 3 jumbo shrimp! My family has been coming here for years and we all order the same thing every time we come, and it's always phenomenal! The beef is SOOO tender, it literally melts in your mouth. And don't get me started on the wild rice. It's cooked to perfection and it's so buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere: Bergen Bar & Grill is a smaller restaurant that's first come first serve -- no reservations. You put your name and phone number on a notebook and they call you when your table is ready. Depending on the time you arrive, it can be a longer wait. However, they have a lovely patio where you can wait for your table OR you can hang out in your car. They do serve drinks on the patio which is a nice touch! One other thing to note, they are cash/check only. No credit cards so plan accordingly. Overall, I highly highly recommend Bergen Bar & Grill! You won't be disappointed.
