    Filet mignon sliders
    Joy T.

    Food tastes great overall. The sliders are good but could definitely use a bit more sauce since they were a little dry. I highly recommend getting them with fries though -- that combo is really solid! The servers are very attentive compared to other places. They make sure to get your order right, especially one of the girls who mentioned she's been working there for four years. The staff also checks in to see if you need more food or drinks, which shows they really care about the customer experience. The only downside is parking. There's a small lot behind the building or street parking, which can be a bit inconvenient.

    We came here for dinner on Saturday night. It was jammed packed, waiting time up to 40 minutes. Luckily they had a closed outdoor area available with heaters on, so we got a table there right away. The inside area seemed very cozy places, with a multiple bar areas, high tables and some couches by the fire place. Different groups were at the restaurant, celebrating different occasions. We started with the Mama;s Empanadas, that came with two big ones. Though the middle part was good, the outer layer of the empanadas were too thick and didn't taste good. For entree, I had to Joanne's Classic burger, that had a good size beef patty, yellow cheese, lettuce and pickles in it. The burned seal on of the bun looked pretty good. I wish they had grilled the bed little bit, cause it got soggy from the sauce and everything in the burger. Though the burger was good, the sliders for my daughter's meal were terrible. The patties were so bland and dry. My wife didn't like her pasta much either. But the best dish of the night was the side of grilled broccoli. The service was really good. Our server and the staff members were very friendly. The dishes came out within short intervals. Despite some of the disappointing dishes, overall the place seemed really well suited for having a good time with companions and a great location for watching sports events together.

    Local bar restaurant at New Milford. Cozy and festival decorations around the dining area. It also has a patio with heat (covered), still a little cold. Service is great. The staff are all nice and attentive. The host informed us 45 mins wait for inside, but we can sit at patio right away. So we choose the patio. I feel they need to put more heat in the patio area tho. They only have 1 in the center. Food is average. Parmesan crusted chicken with linguine in creamy lemon sauce very lemony. I did not expect that strong citrus flavor. Otherwise the chicken and linguine itself is not bad. Kids burger is a bit dry. Empanadas are not bad, more cheesy than other places.

    Once again, River & Henley does not disappoint. Went out for dinner and drinks with my friend and everything was on point. I ordered my usual lychee martini (always a hit), the ahi tuna, and added the garlic shrimp all sooo good. Consistent every single time. Shout-out to Josh, my favorite bartender he always takes care of us and makes the experience even better. My friend ordered the mac & cheese and said it was just okay, but overall the food, drinks, and vibe keep me coming back. Definitely one of my go-to spots.

    Breaded chicken with pasta
    Steph C.

    There is a parking lot but gets full fast since its shared with other businesses. Theres a small outdoor seating. Inside theres a bar area and the restaurant a good size. A lot of tvs to watch sports. Ordered quesadilla, had a issue with the food but the waiter fixed everything quickly. Weird the quesadilla didn't come with any dips. It did need a bit of seasoning so had to order sour cream. I ordered the breaded chicken with pasta which was delicious. Would definitely recommend it.

    Patio area

    First time to dine here with my family. Because we had our with us, we opted to sit outside on their patio, which had a few tables and small sofa seating area. I liked interior ambiance. Looked like a nice spot to chill and dine. I normally don't get sandwiches at restaurants, but nothing else caught my eye so I decided to get the Poppin' Steak Sandwich. It had sliced filet mignon which was soo chewy and tough, I barely ate it-- like half of a half. The steak was sliced but not sliced enough for a sandwich. Imagine a big chunk of steak when you bite into it and literally had to pull and rip the steak with my teeth and fingers. For a sandwich being $22.95, I expected the steak to be soft and easy to bite through, but I had a hard time eating it. I do not recommend this sandwich. My sister got the chicken milanese which she liked, her bf (from Cali) got the pepperoni hot honey pizza which he enjoyed, and my mom got the grilled chicken taco bowl and she said it was okay.

    This was sooooooo good and such a vibe! The service was amazing. The food was so tasty too!! We barely had leftovers and we ordered so much! I want to go back when it gets cold out because they have a fireplace! So cute.. I'd deff go back My one tiny complaint is my sister had celiacs and they have no GF alternatives (buns, pastas, etc) just accommodations

    Really nice sports bar with upscale decor and vibes. Has a sweet fireplace in the center and those super comfy psychiatrist leather couches with the buttons! Lots of TVs, friendly staff and the food menu has a nice wide variety of options without having a 5 page menu. I came to celebrate my birthday with my brother and his family including 3 young boys and we had an awesome time!

    Ice cream

    We had been to this location on a few occasions. But had not been since it was River and Henley. I thought it was enjoyable. It was during the holidays, so it was very festive. The place was crowded as they were having an ugly sweater contest later in the evening. I had a delicious pear salad , a burger, and ice cream for dessert. The food was very good, service great, & ambiance perfect. We were a party of 5 and we enjoyed our meals and the evening. I would go back!

    The best espresso martinis ever! They have a s'mores espresso martini that I go back for every weekend!

Check out three of the most popular menu items I explored. Buffalo Wings: Sold by the pound, the wings came with a side of celery sticks and blue cheese dipping sauce. It's definitely a common bar appetizer prior to the main course. Breakfast Burger: Here is a breakfast spin on the classic burger and fries. The plump, juicy burger was loaded with crispy bacon and an over easy egg. Served medium well, each bite was like having breakfast and lunch simultaneously...hence the term "brunch." And no brunch is ever complete without a side of crispy tater tots. Chicken Parm Sliders: This is a unique bar twist on the classic chicken parmesan entrée. The three sliders are topped with homemade marinara sauce and mozzarella. The breaded cutlets were on the thicker side, but I didn't mind because it was similar to having a chicken sandwich. If you are a sports fan, this is the next best thing to a stadium or arena. The walls are adorned with athletic souvenirs and memorabilia. You won't have any trouble finding an athletic program to view on the multiple flat screen HDTVs. And speaking of televise sporting events, take advantage of this awesome meal deal. It's only available while the Mets or Yankees are playing. Play tunes of your choice on the modernized electronic jukebox. This sports bar has an upbeat atmosphere with a decent menu, so stop by and give QBs a try. #QBS #dumontnj #localbar #sportsbar #chickenparmsliders #BreakfastBurger #wings #buffalowings #foodstagram #njfoodie #foodreview

The burgers are good too but I do not like the sauce they use. It's the same sauce they use for the sushi so it just taste weird on the burger, in my opinion.

The space itself is large, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of TVs, making it a good spot for watching games or gathering with friends. There is plenty of parking, but sometimes that parking is a bit of a walk if it's a busy time but typically always find parking... rarely have to go to the underground parking lot. Service can be inconsistent, especially when it comes to larger groups or parties, which can slow things down at times. Overall, while it's not my top choice, it's a place I still enjoy going to and will continue to return to.

    I was excited to check out this local sports bar in Lodi after seeing all of the positive reviews…read more Honestly, it was a little underwhelming for me. Maybe I just ordered the "wrong things". Either way, my experience didn't live up to the hype. I visited on a late Saturday night. There's a parking lot behind the restaurant. The entrance can be tricky to find... It's located in the back on the left-hand side. The exterior and interior are both pretty dark, dull, and dingy. It's not the most inviting atmosphere at first. It has a divey, industrial, and rustic vibe to it, but hey... sometimes the best food comes from places that don't look like much. So I try not to judge. It wasn't too busy, and the service was attentive. The menu has your classic American comfort food - wings, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, etc. They switch it up with daily specials like skirt steak, chicken parm, and pasta. They have a full bar with cocktails, drafts, bottled beers, can ciders, and wines. You can even do a four-beer flight and make it a tasting experience! I ordered: *Dark & Stormy Cocktail [Goslings Dark Rum, Ginger Beer, Lime Juice] ($14) - Not the best one I've had, but it was solid. If you like ginger and rum, this is a must try. The dark rum has hints of caramel which works really well with the spicy ginger beer. The lime juice adds a citrus kick, so it's a really refreshing drink. *Margarita ($18) - As a tequila girly, I've had my fair share of margaritas. This one didn't do it for me. It was a little too sour/tart, which overpowered everything else. *Cubano Sandwich [includes roast pork, black forest ham, swiss cheese, pickles, mayo, and mustard with side of fries] ($16) - I wasn't expecting an authentic Cubano from an American sports bar, so my expectations weren't super high. This was good, but not great. The pork was flavorful, but could've been more tender. I wish there were more pickles and mayo for that extra tangy crunch. The bread was pressed a little too hard, so it was a bit tough to bite through. *Double Blackened Chicken Breast Sandwich [includes pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, red peppers, and red onion on brioche with side of fries] ($18) - This was huge and filling! They did not skimp out on the protein. The brioche bun was soft and buttery. The chicken was well seasoned - smoky and savory with crispy charred edges. BUT... to my disappointment, the inside was dry and not juicy at all. Another small issue was the ratio - There was so much chicken compared to the rest of the toppings, so it wasn't the most cohesive sandwich. It really needed more cheese and chipotle mayo to tie all the flavors together. The fries were the best part - thick, crispy, and golden! It's decent bar food, just not the best I've had. Nothing was bad, but nothing was great or memorable. For the price, I didn't feel it was worth it. I do appreciate that their food is served piping hot and fresh. To be fair, this is probably the perfect spot for beer lovers. I happen to not be one, lol. The burger options sound popular and promising too. I'd consider giving them another shot for Happy Hour or to try a burger, but it's not at the top of my list. Just because it's not the sports bar for me, doesn't mean it won't be the one for you.
