Decided to try this place since it's a Thursday and we can actually get in without waiting an hour or so. Glad we got in. It's a very busy place but we'll organized. The service was good and everyone was pleasant. We each had a seasonal drink that consisted of cider. Delicious. We decided on fried calamari and seared tuna for appetizers. Both were excellent. The calamari was light and tender and didn't need any sauce at all. The tuna was seared perfectly and the wasabi sauce next to it had just enough heat. We shared a truffle mushroom pie that was thin and crispy. Overall it was a pleasant evening for us trying a new place. Will definitely be back. Enjoy read more

Updating my review. Tavern 5 has improved! The food is pricey but the portions are good and the flavor is good. Its a very busy restaurant so keep that in mind. Having 1 bartender on a Saturday night really slows things down. Overall, I like this place. read more

Tavern 5 - Blueberry Gin Fizz, so good!! - American Near Me - Pompton Plains, New Jersey

Great ambience and fantastic outdoor seating! I found Tavern 5 on Yelp (picked it for the good reviews and large patio area), and was definitely not disappointed. My sister and I had no trouble getting a same-day reservation on a Saturday night. We started off with a few cocktails, Garden Party (so refreshing, with an incredible aftertaste of honey!) and the Basil berry margarita (also delicious, but a little bit more sour than expected). For food, we tried the veggie burger (our favorite! All the burgers here look great), the ribeye spring rolls (not bad, a larger portion than expected), the seared ahi tuna (just ok!), and the garlic shrimp (shrimp itself was good, but the bread was too toasted to soak up any of the garlic sauce). After dinner, we also got the chocolate lava cake, which was delicious! Overall, good (but not amazing) food, great drinks, super friendly staff (Sherry was fantastic!), and wonderful ambiance. I would return! read more

We were looking for a spot with outdoor dining to have a late lunch and stumbled on Tavern 5 through a Yelp search. I'm so glad we found this place! We started with the nachos which were very good- better than we expected! We both ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and loved it. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We opted for chipotle aioli on our sandwiches instead of ranch, which was delicious. Service was friendly and the patio has a great ambiance, with tables that are well-spaced apart. We will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by on a busy Thursday night and was surprised af with how quick the service was. The Crispy Chicken Sandwhich was the truly delicous. It wasnt greasy, and had an awesome little kick. Everything tasted really fresh. From the food to the cocktails. We tried the burrata pasta special and it was a lot lighter then expected. However the serving was huge so come hungry! When you go, dont miss out on the cocktails. The bar had a really great selection of complex drinks. Overall the "nighborhood restaurant" was a lot more elevated then expected! read more

This spot kept popping up all over Instagram and it looked great so my girl and I decided to go with a couple of my good friends. I would highly recommend!! It was a beautiful day out so we sat in the outdoor dining area in the back. Super nice! The area was complete with a turf floor, string lights and it was enclosed in tall wall of plants. We got there around 6 pm and they had more than enough seating. Starting with the drinks we had a Mango Frozé.. it was a top notch choice. Literally everyone at the table ended up ordering a few after the first round. We also had a refreshing watermelon drink that was really good but just got overshadowed by the frozé. We ended up enjoying ourselves so much that the words "Shot?" slipped out and we ended up taking more than a few. To start my girl and I ordered the rib-eye spring rolls which were okay but they lacked flavor without the dipping sauce. I think we will try something different next time. My girl got the prosciutto pizza which she raved about.. she said she'd 100% order it again. I got the chicken rice bowl and my friend Angela got the steak rice bowl... both were amazing and I think the best option on the menu but I was jealous of the steak bowl tbh. Finally my boy Matt got the New York Strip. I think he could sense me getting jealous so he gave me some and it was seasoned really well. Tavern 5 is that place you go to for the outdoor vibes and a chill night with some friends. Eat, drink and just enjoy yourselves with good convo. Perfect summer date night spot if you know how to keep convo going and even better for double dates. I also feel like it's a good spot for after work drinks with coworkers. 5 / 5 !!! I will be coming back asap! read more

Food and service were great! We sat outside and it was beautiful! The appetizers and burgers were delicious !

Nice restaurant with predominantly Italian American fair. Design is modern and environment is very clean. Staff is pleasant and accommodating. Server informed us that they were about to run out of chicken Parm and they already ran out of lobster roll I planned to order. Special flatbread with peaches was very mild and was clearly missing something sharp and salty like prosciutto. scallops and risotto were delicious, so was flank steak with truffle fries. All drinks were very good although bloody Mary was more on a spicy side. Affogato was wonderful. read more

Food was delicious. It has outside seating for summer. I think if I ate inside I wouldn't like it as much. Lots of TVs with a lot of noise. But outside was awesome read more

Great Pub to meet up with family or friends! Food is great, staff is very nice and helpful. I highly recommend Tavern 5 . read more

Loved my experience here. Started with the calamari and was not disappointed. Got the chicken milanese with a white sangria to drink. DELICIOUS. Hoping to come back soon and sit in the outdoor area because it looked so cute. Highly recommend. read more

Had a bit of a better experience here when coming with my family. I still didn't think the service was really attentive or anything to mention unfortunately but the food dishes were better. I ordered the short ribs and it was super tender, falling right apart without a knife and flavorful. The mashed potatoes and veggies were good. I will also mention that 2 people ordered the Pork Chop and thought it was cooked really well and a good portion size. I reordered the rice balls because I loved them last time. Just a little taste for everyone at the table. We arrived on a weekday at 4:45pm and there was no one in the dining area. They said beginning at 5, it's reservation only and sat us by the bar at a high top. We were a little confused considering there was ALL empty tables. Even as the night and our dinner progressed, there was PLENTY of empty tables so it didn't make any sense. Highly suggest making a reservation and specifically stating you want to sit in the dining area. read more

Unfortunately I was too hungry and excited to take photos but we had such a great experience today for lunch. We chose to sit outside and it really was the loveliest experience. Brendan was our server - he was excellent. My mom had the Whiskey burger (She loved it) I had the crispy chicken sandwich (SO good. I could bathe in that garlic aioli) Without question, we'll be coming again and trying different things on the menu. read more

Restaurant has parking and also outdoor dining in back as well as a section of outdoor dining with a tent. Place gets very busy. The back has lovey decor. We sat in the outdoor under the tent which we were lucky because it started to rain. I ordered the steak tacos and it was delicious and not too heavy. Cocktails were too sweet for me. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. read more

I wish this place offered salads without cheese and or vegan options. Yes I can get a salad and omit the cheese but you are still charged the same price. Why is that? Today we went for lunch and I had the avocado bruschetta without cheese and queen bee drink. Both were really good and the presentation begged for a photo. We sat at the bar and the service was great. read more

Delicious food and fun atmosphere! Tavern 5 did not disappoint. Really extensive menu and an equally as extensive and impressive beer list. Came here on a Friday night and it was PACKED. It was raining outside which took away all the outdoor seating so it was extremely chaotic inside trying to get everyone seated. I highly recommend making a reservation, they were taking absolutely no walk ins that evening. My friend and I shared the Jim Beam wings - the sauce was awesome but I wish there was more of it! Our entrees were fantastic, the salmon and the short rib. We didn't feel rushed even with the table chaos. Can't wait to come back! read more

Great atmosphere with a really cool outdoor setting area, and large indoor space as well. The workers are friendly and super insightful when asking questions about the menu. Some of the best wings and tacos I've ever had in this area. The drinks are great and the spritz's are my personal favorite. Highly recommend this place for couples and families to try. read more

I took my sister out for a birthday dinner here over the weekend. We did not make a reservation as it was a last minute decision to come here however it seemed like a lot of people coming in had reservations - so I recommend doing that. Regardless we waited maybe 15 minutes for a table and it was Saturday night so that's totally normal. The place was busy which is always a great sign. There is a regular menu and a seasonal menu. We ordered arancini & a prosciutto pizza with arugula to start. Arancini was good/ok but the pizza was delicious. For entrees, my sister ordered the shrimp orzo off the specials menu & it looked & tasted amazing. I got the chicken milanese which was cooked to perfection and nice & thin. The atmosphere here is lively which works anywhere for a family night out, girls night or date night. There is a full bar w/seating in front when you walk in. Also our server was 13/10 amazing & nice! read more

We had a great dinner at Tavern 5 last night. The only complaint I have was the portion size of the salads. Two of us each had the country chicken salad. It was delicious, though it was not a dinner-size portion. For $19.95, it should have been a large salad. It was half the size I anticipated. The other guests had chicken milanese and seared ahi tuna, which were excellent as well. They had a great beer selection. We will be back! read more

A solid 3.5 stars! Their cocktails were really yummy. I got the misunderstood berry julep which was made up of ginger spiced whiskey, mint syrup, blackberries lemonade and mint and it was delightful. I got mozzarella sticks which were perfectly crispy on the outside. I also ordered the margherita pizza and the dough was extremely undercooked and floppy on the bottom, and the flavor was a little lackluster, which is why I didn't give a full 4 stars. The servers were very attentive and friendly which was a plus! read more

One of our go to spots for takeout or eat in that's near the house. The Ribwye is surprisingly good. Tacos were good. The Gf enjoyed several apps at different times. Cocktails are good too. Friendly staff and atmosphere. It can get crowded because it's so popular but it beats Yard House for sure. read more

Previously one of our favorite restaurants. Very disappointed tonight. Calamari was greasy and under-cooked. Hamburgers (4) were all severely under-cooked. I ordered medium and it was bloody, son in law ordered medium rare and it was bloody rare.... The chicken in Chicken Cesar was tough (overcooked). We had to send several dishes back. Server was nice but not attentive. We will give it one more chance before we take it permanently off our list of go to restaurants. read more

Honestly the food is delicious but a little over priced waiter was very friendly and the service was great read more

AMAZINGGGG!! love love love definitely recommend coming here amazing service, no hair in food!

Tavern 5 has a gorgeous outdoor set up. They have a huge tent in one area with high tops. You can order drinks as you wait for your table which was a nice touch. The actual sit down dining area had turf floors with beautiful umbrellas and greenery enclosing the space. They added string lights to the entire area which created a nice ambiance. The food and drinks were excellent. For cocktails, we really enjoyed the mango madness and golden hour. On the food side, the nachos, spring rolls, French onion soups and burgers were delicious. Service was slightly off, but it was a busy Saturday night and completely understandable. I would love to come back here again soon! read more

This is ONLY the 2nd time we have eaten here and it's better than the 1st. From the moment you walk in the hostess are welcoming. The outside sitting area is adorable and cozy. The service was outstanding...thank you Samantha ;) THE FOOD...so we started with Garlic Shrimp & Seared Ahi Tuna which was FRESH & perfectly made. Our main course was NY STRIP which wan not made to order (medium rare) but hubby said it was tasty so he didn't send it back, and the Prosciutto Pizza and I loved it, especially that I have left-overs for lunch. We finished with Affagato and the ultimate Nutty Ice Cream, which you can order the amount of scoops you want...SCORE. LOOK AT MY PICS...everything was better than it looks!!! read more

We hosted our wedding at Tavern 5 last week and I wish I could give more than a 5 star rating. We wanted an intimate ceremony and reception and what we got was outstanding. Debbie, Denise. Hannah, Greg, and Amanda were beyond professional and yet they were warm, welcoming and just lovely. The place is spotless and the service was unparalleled. That is all before you get to the food which was delicious and definitely beyond excellent. Thank you to the Tavern 5 family for making our day extra special. Jerry and Annie Slavik read more

Good menu, good food and great service. We dine there every 45 days or so, kind of a regular spot for us. Love their Buffalo Chicken Dip as an appetizer. Only negative is they need to stop filling the crappy tables, no reason to place anyone in a high traffic area when the place is 1/3 capacity. They attempted to seat us at one and the next guest were seated there. read more

Good food, good service. I've never had a bad meal there. A little pricey, but worth it.

Always want to enjoy this place, but it always misses the mark. Ambiance is very lively. Food is always mediocre. The wait with a reservation was over a half hour. Service was good once we sat down. read more

I highly recommend this place ! Bethany L. Was our server and she greeted us with a beautiful smile and was ready to sell us on the menu items as well as dessert . All of the staff was very friendly. The food was amazing. Probably some of the best wings and the best grilled chicken Caesar wrap I had in a long time . Tavern 5 is very clean and gives off such a cozy ambiance. I dined with my husband and toddler and we all very much enjoyed ourselves . Thank you so much ! We will see you soon . read more

This is your typical American restaurant. It's definitely nothing to be "wowed" over in my opinion. Their menu is boring and basic. They have burgers, pastas, and traditional American entrees. However, they do have specials that you can choose from that change throughout the week. The interior is very modern and well decorated. Typically, if come early you won't have to deal with a wait. With that being said, if you arrive after 6 expect a wait. Since there aren't many great eats in the area this place gets packed on weekend. Overall, if you're looking for a good burger and beer I would recommend this place for that. read more
