    I must have driven past this venue 100's of times and never really took notice. It wasn't until I…read morewas out with the family that someone suggested going to The Pub. I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.

    Such a fun old-school steak house. The decor is swanky. They have big hearths where they grill the…read moremeats. The salad bar is classic: Caesar salad, iceberg, blue cheese, bacon bits, etc. Meet family here for a fancy night out, and it was a blast. Service was good. Portions are generous, so be prepared for leftovers. We had steak and eggs for breakfast the next day. Big steaks, big baked potatoes, unlimited salad. Come hungry. Good to know: It is a splurge. Also, they won't stay you until the entire party is there. We waited at the bar for everyone to arrive, where one cocktail was more than enough for me. You definitely get your money's worth, and you should not drive afterward. (I did not.)

    I recently went back to Freddy J's in Mays Landing for happy hour with my coworkers, and once…read moreagain, it did not disappoint. This time I ordered the chicken empanadas and smoked wings with Freddy J's Classic Mild sauce. The freshness of the food really stood out, especially the chicken empanadas -- and the portion size was generous, making them perfect for sharing (or not!). The Classic Mild sauce was good, but I'll admit I still prefer their Hot Honey Garlic sauce from my previous visit -- that one just hits differently. I also ordered Yuenglings from their happy hour menu, which paired perfectly with the wings. Everything was consistent with my last visit, which honestly says a lot. There was nothing off about the food or service, and I genuinely can't think of anything that needed improvement. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive, and the vibe was relaxed and lively -- a little loud, but still easy enough to hold a conversation. The space felt clean and comfortable, making it a great spot to unwind after work. This visit didn't change my opinion -- I still highly recommend Freddy J's. It's a solid choice for happy hour, casual dining, and group outings.

    Smoked wings with sauce on the side were amazing! Smash burgers were just as good.

    You know, sometimes a person's greatest trait is the ability to make you smile, and the employees I…read moremet here did just that. So here's the run down: I stopped in here with a co-worker after a sales call. We were very "thirsty", if you know what I mean, and we wanted to celebrate his promotion. We also needed some room to spread out and hoped that the place would have some open space. We saw a sandwich board outside that had some decent prices on it and decided to give it a whirl. We started with a few beers, also reasonably priced. The bartender was incredibly nice and maybe the same person mentioned in an earlier review. Let me tell you, there was a hustle in her step, she was happy to see us, did not rush us, let us do our thing, and was there at a moments notice whenever we looked her way. Not for nothing I would have walked up to the bar for our drinks but she kept bringing them to us. So... this was incredibly impressive and unexpected. A short time later we were treated to basically a free lunch. The Chef or Owner, I am not sure what his actual role was, (and I am very sorry that I forgot his name), kept bringing us out small plates with appetizers on them to try and get our feedback. Now, I know that this is not a normal occurrence but I was impressed with the selections. I mean, truly I was very impressed, again a free lunch was not expected, and free lunch that tasted this good was even less likely to happen on the road in my world. These guys have some talent in the kitchen. The gentleman told me that they are rolling out a new menu that keeps the allure of the previous menu for the locals, but brings a bit more sophisticated pub fare to the table. I have to say some of the stuff was top notch, comfort food with a twist. I would definitely come back for these items when I am in the area. When we were ready to go the Chef/Owner guy thanked us for our input. We offered to pay for what we ate; (as we really over ate) he simply said to come back and maybe like him on Facebook. So I liked him on FB and told him about Yelp. He did not even know that he had a Yelp page; he thought he had to set that up. He was presently surprised to see that someone had given him 5 stars though. I pointed out that this person had 92 reviews and this is actually pretty good that someone with that many reviews held him in such high regard. At any rate we left a hefty tip for the bartender who truly was a very sweet and attentive lady. I mean really, these guys are trying; they are putting all of the energy into bringing this place up to date with food trends and technology. This place has been here almost as long as I have been alive. It is hard for any business to remain relevant in these truly dynamic times; these guys are putting the work in and stepping out of their comfort zone to do so. Anyway, I was impressed and I wish these guys all the luck in the world.
