The worst experience !! Food was actually gross .... Entertainment was awful. Drinks were terrible !! DO NOT GO. I will NEVER go back. Do not waste ur time or money!!! TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. I gave it one star because the server was awesome! read more

My mother and I were seated but waited 25 minutes for a waitress to come and ask for our drink order.Than we placed our order and had to wait another 25 minutes for our food. I understand that it was busy but waiting for a waitress for that long is just not OK. The food was not bad, it was decent. read more

I've loved this place since it opened in 2014 and has earned its spot as my family's go-to restaurant for special occasions. Most recently, my mom rented out the private dining room for my bridal shower brunch. And let me tell you, these ladies are still talking about how much fun they had a month after the event! Here's my breakdown. During the brunch: the Chickens Marsala was tender and melted in your mouth like butter. The pasta station was excellent; we chose the Gnocchi, which was soft and delicate. The Eggs Benedict went fast, and they refilled it twice, but I didn't have a chance to try it. All in all, the food was excellent. Booze: you truly can't go wrong here. I think they had the best Bloody Mary's and Mimosas. Plus they were sweet enough to make a mock-tail mimosa (ginger ale(?) and orange juice) for my young nieces at the party. Servers: very attentive at the beginning and made sure drinks were flowing before the chafing buffet was set up. However, once everything was set-up, they disappeared, and I had to ask a few times to have the plates cleared from the tables so we could start the bridal games. Granted they are in their early twenties and aren't career servers, so as much as I hate to say it, I wasn't surprised. So to sum it all up. Go to Paragon Tap & Table if you want to have great food and incredible drinks while making life long memories with the people you love. read more

Food is excellent with a twist on old favorites. Love the food and the rotating taps are everything.

First time... staff was very pleasant. Thought the alcoholic beverages were too strong tasting and not a great flavor (I like taste of alcohol but not as potent in a mixed drink). We had the apple cider sangria and the chocolate coconut (which taste like coconut rum straight out of bottle). The five onion soup was AMAZING. Also has the buffalo chicken mac and cheese which could have been seasoned a little better but not bad (small portion). The buffalo chicken bacon dip was tasty wish they gave more of it. The short rib pizza had no flavor what so ever had to add salt and pepper to make it taste some what good. Nice decor. And again I am going to say very friendly staff. Don't think I would come again to be honest. Was worth trying though. read more

Went for the first time this week. I've heard good things about the place but it's so tucked away I never remember to go check it out. We sat at the bar and the place was packed for a Tuesday night. We left before bar trivia, but I want to come back and check out a couple of their events. Food wise, I wasn't impressed. We ordered the cheese plate and the chicken and waffles BLT to share. I love me a good cheese plate, and this was just ok. Too salty and not enough fruit/sweetness to balance out the cheeses and meats. The chicken and waffle sandwich was good. It could have definitely used some more ranch dressing. I could barely taste it in there. They barely had desserts on the menu, and a lot of them were crossed out. That should have been our warning. We ordered the churros and they tasted tough and stale. The sorbet that came with it was delicious though. Would have been a great dessert if the churros were warm and soft. I did like the atmosphere, and do want to try other things. My theory is that you should order simple dishes first because if they screw it up, it's a tell tale sign for the more expensive stuff. Paragon didn't disappoint, but it didn't blow me away either. read more

Went there today for lunch. Got the grilled cheese ribeye with some French fries. Great meal. Sandwich was on point and fries were crispy. Service was excellent as well. Made me a fresh decaf coffee. It was excellent. I've passed by this place many times kind of writing it off. Cant say I'll do that again as the menu has a lot of interesting choices to try. Not a one and done type place. read more

Great service. Lamb cheesesteak is fantastic as is the burgers and truffle fries. Beer selection is as good as I've had offered at any restaurant read more

When I tell people i love this place...I MEAN IT! My boyfriend and i come here rather often, and we're never disappointed. The food is delicious and big in portions, huge selection of drinks, every time we come here we never have to wait long for anything, servers are always on top of their game, and just the overall ambiance of the place is great! read more

Y'all this place sucks times ten!! I would say pick the McDonald's across the street or the target food court, rather then head here. The service is good but the food makes me cry tears of terrible sadness. read more

I've been to Paragon several times and always enjoyed it. Great food and excellent craft beer options. Last night we had a retirement party for a co-worker here. There were 16 of us and everyone loved it. Food and service were exceptional. Huge thank you to our server Robyn! read more

Fantastic fish tacos. I crave them from here all the time! Great service. All around a wonderful experience!

Always a wonderful place with great service, delicious food and a great selection of beers. Especially nice is the live music on Fridays.

It's just OK. I don't know what this place wants to be. It's too overpriced to be a sports bar, but the food is too mediocre to call itself a gastropub. Sevendust wings could have been good, but they were just absolutely caked in raw spices and still managed to lack seasoning. Onion soup was so overly sweet it tasted like dessert. They must add sugar to caramelize their onions, but it's way too much, and nobody is tasting this before serving. Beer burger was OK, aioli was tasty, but again the meat itself lacked seasoning. Brussels sprouts side was tasty. In fact, Brussels sprouts were the best thing on either of our plates. Beer list is extensive, and our server offered samples of two beers that my bf was deciding between. Unfortunately, two staff members thought it was OK to sit near us in the uncrowded dining area to eat their dinner and crank music on their phones and sing along. And our server didn't stop them or even seem to notice, so it must just be OK for this place. Not ok for me with what they're charging. I have no problem paying for quality, but between food being meh and servers treating the dining area like their high school cafeteria, Paragon won't be going into my regular rotation in the area. A similar menu and vibe at Blu Alehouse in Woodbridge, and they're consistent. read more

Went twice the past month.. each time half our orders came out 15 mins before our others.. so half the table watched the others eat... some orders cold, some missing items, and just overall not a well run place. Staff is friendly and outdoor seating is nice but overall wont be back. read more

Paragon never disappoints. It's always good food, beer and good times. My brother and I love going there for a quick bite. Make sure you try the calamari! read more

I love coming here and sitting outside with a wi band delicious food great atmosphere it's definitely a top pick to eat for me

Great food Rest beers and cocktails Very friendly servers Service is timely and attentive read more

Paragon has a great combination of drink and food choices without suffering in either department. Atmosphere is very pleasant and modern, the place is clean and kept up great. Casual atmosphere. We had a friendly, attentive waitress. No complaints! They had an oyster special when we went so we got the Cornmeal Crusted Oysters. We also got the Buffalo Chicken Bacon Dip as an appetizer. Both very good dishes! As entrees I got the Steak & Eggs Mac n'cheese and my bf got the Short Rib Pappardelle. The mac n'cheese was very basic, nothing special - almost like from the box microwave. The pappardelle was the better dish in my opinion. I also ordered the Wolffer Dry Rose Cider as a drink and it was delicious! I'd recommend it highly! read more

We just left our nephews 30th birthday party. The food was fantastic. All of the food was thoughtfully prepared. The service was more than friendly, almost like family . There were many of us and they were were on top of the service the entire time. No stress, no waiting all smiles . They have a great selection of their own craft beers. We met the owners who were so friendly and genuine which is carried through in their staff. And.. they are dog friendly !! If you haven't been there, you should make plans to. You will not be disappointed. read more

Love this place. Honey glazed salmon is my favorite dish. Service is also very good. If you go on a night with live music , don't expect to hear your party... very loud but worth it. read more

Always great experience and great food! Love their burgers and their service is very good, looking forward to our next visit. Summers they have outdoor seating very nice and relaxing and sometimes live music too. Inside can be noisy as they do have a bar area but never bothered us or our company, and we had kids with us. read more

Recently went for happy hour and the service was amazing! Such a clean and nice place to go to and mellow out after work. Beers on tap are amazing as is the margherita flatbread and truffle fries ! I will def be going back read more

Average bar nothing wrong with it at all. Like how they do a lot of IPAs and they also incorporate fun nights there too like trivia. Food is good too. They should expand on brunch menu and hire some bartenders who aren't all tools. read more

If you like meat and potato type food you will enjoy this. I found this as average, my wife enjoyed her food mainly because our sever was awesome. The restaurant noise was intolerable, only made worst by entertainment of a single singer singing Bruce Springsteen and Van Morrison concert. . read more

Pretty solid spot! Strong drinks and yummy food. Fun vibe, but it does get very loud. I'd say only go on a Thursday where they have all day happy hour- $5 select cocktails and $6 select apps. The other menu items are pricey for what you get. A $23 salad? Really? I tried the wings and a flatbread from their happy hour menu which were good. I'll be back on another Thursday to try more apps! read more

Paragon Tap & Table - Tuna Tartar app - $13 - New American Near Me - Clark, New Jersey

This is my new favorite place! The atmosphere is nice, spacious, and dark. I studied the menu, and this is one of the few places that I want to try almost everything on the menu. Basically, the menu is appealing and eclectic. I was expecting much less from a Gastro Pub. I had the Buffalo chicken bacon dip with colorful nachos, and it was pretty freakin amazing. I was full off that dish by itself. It was very rich and flavorful, but not overbearing. This is what you would eat after being dumped lol. The ultimate comfort appetizer. Keep in mind I'm not a fan of Buffalo flavored items, so this was impressive. I came on a Monday and Happy Hour is 4-7. $6 selected appetizer $5 selected martinis (they have a list). They appear to be good for the beer selection, but they have a nice cocktail selection as well. I first had the Mary Pickford martini. It was nice and fruity, but it didn't pack enough punch for the type of day I had. So I asked for the Blood & Sand cocktail (not on the happy hour menu). It was delicious. I'm not a bourbon drinker, but the passion fruit puree combined was a great touch. It was flavorful and strong, and even when I let the drink sit for a while, it still didn't lose its kick. You definitely get your money's worth. My only suggestion would be to serve drinks in bigger glasses. The service was good. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive, and personable. Even, when it started to get a little busy he still managed to give each customer his undivided attention. I would definitely come back to try other things. read more

I'm a fan of the tap and table. I been here on two occasions and both times the food was delicious. I tried the Pork Stick appetizer, 3 rich and tender pork nuggets on the bone with a sweet barbeque sauce. Their 5 onion soup is extremely good- cheesy and salty. My entrée was the roasted Red Snapper on a bed of green bamboo rice and side of root vegetables. The salmon was tender, well seasoned but a little on the small side for my liking. If you like vegetable you may want to try the large Butternut squash entrée under the vegetables category. Their side of Brussel sprouts were perfect, slightly cajun and fresh. They have a huge craft beer presence here. They serve flights to those wishing to try 5 of their Draft beets at a time. They also advertise a unique mixed drink menu for the ladies. Both Friday nights i arrived The bar was packed and lively. Servers were pleasant and the cook came to our table to ask how our meal was! read more

Really impressed by the food, the beer selection and over the top service. We were travelling through Jersey on our way to DC and wanted to try a place near the turnpike. Needless to say we were very impressed. The prices were standard and for the amount of food you get (see Southwest burger pic) they were very good. We had the Southwest burger, add bleu cheese (thanks to the recommendation), and it was delicious and filling. The fries it came with were really good as well. Also tried the Roasted Poblanos, and they were pretty tasty for a veggie meal, wife enjoyed it. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the NFL playoffs in three separate screens (with the sound on, as it should be enjoyed). The bartender made good beer recommendations. Both he and the bar-back were very attentive, friendly and welcoming. We would have been happy with the service as this point, yet the chef came to check on us and our meal. That pushed me from four stars to five. The presentation of the desserts tray was on point as well. Opted for the tres leches (three milks) dessert, different, but a good different. If we are in the area again, we will definetly stop by. Highly recommend it for the food, the beer and the staff. read more

The beer flights are awesome here, staff has always been great. Nice to have game nights with prizes.

Great place. Very good food and the menu was digitally accessible through your phone. Drinks are strong. The short rib grilled cheese was amazing. My husband had the cod sandwich and said it was very good also. Easy parking and no wait time on a Saturday afternoon. Our waitress was nice and came back frequently to make sure everything was ok. We were a larger group and everything we needed, we got. My sister in law also asked for a drink that wasn't on the cocktail menu and they made it for her. read more

Be ready to wait for the food . Food was great but everything takes a while. Burgers and and sides where great. I ordered a filet it came out perfect and veggies and potatoes where nice and fresh . Food was hot . I ordered a cappuccino and I got it served to me barely warm. I didn't have the time to wait for a new one. The acoustics in the place are terrible it is very loud in there if it gets busy . Could barely hear my guests , everyone is yelling over each other. I would definitely go back on slower nights . Gave it three stars for the awesome food . read more

So... my wife and I aren't big beer drinkers, so we can't speak to the selection here. However, the food... oh the food. Big mistake we made was ordering an appetizer (buffalo chicken dip). That's not to say that it wasn't awesome, because it was. However, it broke my heart to leave any portion, no matter how small, of my hangover burger on the plate. It was so good... so good. Egg, sausage, hash brown, burger... oh my. My wife got the bloody butcher burger, which was also pretty great. The service was terrific too, and it wasn't crazy crowded (probably normal for a week night. Go... have a burger, and toss the diet to the wind! read more

had the wild boar burger. It was really good. A little surprised with how many drinks on the menu they didn't have available, but would definitely come back. read more

I'll start off by saying I will definitely come back. They have a great menu, beer and food. I started with a flight, cuz I'm a gentleman that likes booze. I was impressed by the beer list and wanted to try as much as possible. We started with llanpingachos, probably spelled that wrong. Anyway, it was potatoes with cheese, duck sausage, and topped with a fried egg. So yea, paragon is legit. I had chicken and waffles for my main and my wife had had mac and cheese. My food was great. I might be a chicken and waffle purist, but I would've liked a thigh or something instead of a thin cutlet. I can't complain about the flavors though. The Mac and cheese was good too but a little thin on the sauce. I like a gooey cheese sauce that has to be cut with a knife, that's just me. I can't say enough about the service, Twas on point. Overall, great food and beer. And if you're an NJCB member, $1 off on beer and 10% on food. read more

With our son off with the Grandparents, we had an important decision to make. Where to for lunch? My wife had the sudden brainstorm to try Paragon. She had been here when it was Blue Martini. Very good decision. Tucked away in a typical New Jersey strip mall, Paragon is a nice looking place. Kind of an industrial vibe-I like the exposed duct work. Very cool. Tina was our server. Awesome with a capitol A. Explained the specials. Took care of our drinks. Very friendly. Told us of the Chef's connection with The Food Netork. Wasn't impressed with that. Not a FN fan. Being on a TV reality show doesn't make your food taste better. Either you have talent or you don't. Chef LeVine, I'm happy to report has it going on. We split Calamari to start. Biggest rings I have ever seen. Tender too. Not bready in the slightest. Great marinara. Off to an excellent start. I went into vapor lock trying to wade through all the offered beers. An extensive list. Finally settled on Brooklyn Blast, a double IPA. Really good. Sauvignon Blanc for my wife. A tad thin but good. For entrees, I ordered the short ribs. I requested onion rings in place of the smashed potatoes. My wife ordered the special duck salad. The food was beautifully presented-see pix below. The rings were piled high on the meat reminding me of Alfred Portale's cooking at Gotham Bar and Grill in NYC. My wife's duck salad was served cold/medium rare over two types of melon. Both of us really enjoyed our meals. We could not pass on dessert. I had white/ milk choclate mousse served in a glass jar. My wife had a lime tart with raspberry whipped cream. Delicious. Since my beer was gone, I had one of Paragon's new rum drinks. Very tasty. Only service lapse was the bill was presented before we requested it. Paragon serves thoughtfully executed food. We will be back. read more

I went on a random Wednesday night for a massage at Hand & Stone in Clark after work and when I left I heard open mic night next door at Paragon Tap & Table. From the minute I arrived solo, they made a table accommodation and Abby introduced herself as my server. First and foremost, she couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful in recommending dishes. When a new bartender made a drink I wasn't thrilled with. she immediately changed it without hesitation. Not only was the appetizers delicious, food amazing, listened to some talented locals, I can't even put into words how omniscient and ineffable Abby is as a server with such a warm and inviting personality. It was because of her service I am here again duplicating the compliments. She went above and beyond, I couldn't be more grateful and look forward to more visits.. read more
