Food is pretty good but there are flies all over the restaurant which is very disconcerting! Also its so loud you cant have a conversation unless right next to the person. read more

Food is great. Service is quick and it's very homey. They also have e other things that are good

Spectacular in every aspect on every level. The server was exceptionally nice and the service was quick. We got the poutine as an appetizer and it was great.Tender meat, great gravy, lots of cheese curds and fries they somehow keep crispy. Just be ready - it is huge. Could definitely be a large meal unto itself. The burger was cooked correctly and was very juicy and flavorful. The tater tots were very crunchy and well salted. Tons of them too. Finished it off with the buffalo chicken mac and cheese which was both temperature hot and spicy hot. Took home enough for the two of us to have a hearty meal. Can't wait to go back and try more. read more

Burgers were amazing! Service at the bar was top shelf. Loved the comfortable atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

My husband and I have been to Tavern 519 about five times now. We go there for the short rib black and blue burger, which is absolutely out of this world. We went for my husband's birthday. He ordered the pork chop and said it was the best he's ever had in his life. He's had it twice now. This is how much we love this Hidden gem. I had filet mignon, which was also absolutely outstanding. This is worth traveling an hour to get to which we do a couple of times a month. I can't recommend it more highly. Since writing this review, my husband and I have been back to Tavern 519 three times. We' both had the burgers again and they were outstanding again. On one occasion, my husband ordered the pork chop which he said was the best he's ever had in his life! I ordered the filet mignon which came withbroccoli rabe. It was outstanding.! as always, the service was great. We've been going at least once a month. read more

Nice spot! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Tried the prime rib poutine for appetizer and it was sooooo good! Got the regular burger but added caramelized onion cooked medium well with tots. Super juicy and thick. The tots were sooo crispy and delicious. (Forgot to take a pic) Would try the steak options next time. read more

I've been here several times. The food is always fresh and delicious. If you're not with a large party I highly recommend coming here, otherwise skip it. The service is always good and friendly. With that being said, my bf's company has had two Christmas parties here over the past several years. We are always a party of at least 10 people. I don't recommend big parties here, we found out the hard way they will kick you out after exactly 2 hrs whether you're finished or not. The first time we were all here I got up to use the bathroom. I came back a few minutes later and my dinner was taken away, the table cleaned along with my new drink I just got. I was in total shock and asked my bf where's my food and my new drink. He said they took everything away our 2 hrs was up. I chalked it up and went to the bar where everyone was standing and got another drink. This time,again it was another Christmas party.After dinner my bf's boss asked for a dessert menu, and he was told by our server sorry your two hours are up you can't have dessert. Everyone looked dumbfounded and abruptly got up and left and we all went somewhere else to have drinks and dessert. I know this place isn't real big but if they would book the parties differently say like 5-8, and then the next party 8-11 or reserve some of the other tables to accommodate both parties everyone would not feel rushed. It took over 1/2 hour for our appetizers to arrive, and then another 40 mins for our food. It's really not a lot of time for a large group. The other thing that bothered me was when we were walking out there was another group waiting and the woman pulled my friend and I over and said "oh you're the group just leaving?" and we said yes. She said,"well they just sent me a text," and she showed us the text. It read, we just kicked out the other group. Needless to say we were all shocked. This is no way to do business. I was told the Christmas Parties will be at a different restaurant from now on. Aside from that our food was delicious, and our servers were very nice. I will come here again but the next time it won't be with a group. Food- 5 Stars Service- 4 Stars Atmosphere- 3 Stars Group getting kicked out 1 Star read more

Food was great. Service was great. Only con was the timer on how long you could have a table. But definitely not a show stopper. Been back a couple times since. read more

It was great we got a seat at the bar at 6:30 on a Friday night. Sat down got drinks in the first 10 minutes. Staff was busy but accommodating. Told the server we had a show to go to and had to be out the door at 7:45 when we ordered food at 6:45. Bartender did say "good luck with that." Everything we got was delicious BUT... it came out around 7:35 (50 minutes later.) we had literally 10 minutes to split a Caesar salad & a $80 20 oz ribeye. Had to rush thru dinner & never had time to enjoy our meal. I would go back but I didn't know it takes 50 minutes to prepare my meal. Saw friends come in, sit at a table, get served & leave while we waited for our meal. read more

Small tavern on the outskirts of Frenchtown. Happy staff and good food. Local beers including the 519 hazy IPA which was made for them in Flemington and went down very well. Dry martini made well. Poutine with tots and a short rib mushroom gravy was very good. Pepperoni special pizza is typical of a bar pie rather than a traditional pizza but the crust was crispy which was good. read more

Wow. First time here. Wont be the last. Sorry locals but somebody needs to spread the word. This is awesome high end food served in the most low key out of the way place. We had poutine to start, awesome and a huge portion. Then it was the pork chop with sweet potato hash. Best softest pork chop you will ever have. My wife got the pork belly pasta. Another wow! Just awesome tasting and another huge portion. The maple old fashioned was awesome and really strong. They dont cut corners here. Best to make reservations as it gets filled up fast. Our waitress was awesome too. We cant wait to go back and visit.here are my pics from dinner read more

Very good food and it's high dollar. It is a very small restaurant with only one unisex bathroom. If you have to wait for a table, you get to stand very close to people sitting at a table which is not very private for those folks at all. Also, worse of all, beware of the extra charge on the bill which ALWAYS assumes that you are paying by credit card. Always recheck your bill. read more

I can't say enough good about this restaurant, the service is as awesome as the food is, always a perfect time here! Whitney who runs the bar is spot on with the drinks, all the servers here are friendly and attentive to the patrons, and the food is always spot on, it's the best hidden gem in Hunterdon County, don't drive too fast looking for it, you'll race right past it! read more

This is not the place to come to have a pleasant evening /dining experience. They will rush you to get you out of there under 90 minutes. Their unfriendly impatient waitress will make sure of that. The menu is limited with usual fare of salads and burgers, specialty cocktails are pricey. The room wasn't AC'ed,too warm. Will not be back.Not recommended. read more

The waitress in the main dining room had no patience with us. She was rude and non accomodating. She told us to be out of there in 90 minutes. Why would you go to a place to have good time? You can be bullied by this Gestapo!! read more

The food is great with amazing service. Only problem is there is no waitlist for if it is booked and you just walk in. Other than that this place is perfect. It's a decent size with phenomenal food and drinks. It's very nice inside but cold! read more

Hidden gem in bucolic Hunterdon County. First day of their fall menu ... enjoyed the pretzel appetizers, juicy scallops, awesome French onion soup, and teriyaki chicken pizza. read more

Good food, good service and nice, neighborly atmosphere. Was here for GNO & we split salads & pizza. All 4 of us were very pleased with our meal. The white truffle pizza is a stand out. They make a great Caesar salad. Second time, based on positive GNO, returned with husband, son & another male friend. My 3 dining companions all ordered burgers & gave rave reviews. Like "best burger in the area" and "best burger I've had in a very long time" and "3rd best burger I've had in my life...#1 was in Canada in 19...." You get the idea. We intend to frequent this place. read more

Really happy to have stumbled upon this gem while searching for a restaurant in Frenchtown. We were in the area celebrating our anniversary, it was our first date night in a year and we haven't been indoor dining since the pandemic. They really took good precautions, we felt safe. The servers and staff were all very nice, attentive, top notch service. Lots of parking, easy to get to. The drinks were delicious, it felt great to have a cocktail out! The food was very yummy! We listened to reviews and got the wings and tots and glad we did, yum! We heard the creme brûlée was good too but we were too full, next time we're in the area we'll definitely be back! read more

Been here many times as I live close by. Great bar hostess, limited menu. Specials everyday but continue to run by the same old routine specials. Need new enticement to continue to go. Food is great, but how many times can you look at the same food? read more

Awesome food and staff - lets not forget about the draft beers and mix drinks - which are ::chefs kiss:: !! Really cozy too.

I've gone to the tavern for a few years now. It's somewhat frustrating to be told that you have a 1.5 hr seating maximum. We ordered a second round of expensive cocktails and were told half way through finishing them that we had to get up from the table. The one waitress that often serves us is impatient and rushes you when ordering, speaks over you and is not attentive. Last week we had dinner there and the restaurant was very warm. The A/C seems to only work near the bar. For the prices of the entrees and drinks, I think you could find something better. read more

Another amazing meal at Tavern 519! From the attentive service from our waitress Tania to the delicious food prepared by an amazing chef! They always have new innovative menu items to mix it up from the classics on the menu! Tonight we had the Bavarian pretzel appetizer, Mahi Fish Taco and the Halibut special! A++ can't wait until our next visit! read more

Delish food great friendly service and perfect tavern ambiance Will definitely go back!!

We came once before and had an awesome young server who made the experience great! However on our 2nd attempt (where we were excited to go back) we got an older server who was clearly less then thrilled with her job and left us never wanting to return. With some food allergies things can be difficult however this server basically...no she DID tell me the chef would just send out whatever he felt like. No discussion. Considering I'm having my gallbladder removed tomorrow fries would NOT have been my choice but they didn't leave room for discussion. We will NEVER go back as service was terrible the 2nd time and I'd never want to risk getting stuck with the server we had ever again. She was terrible. The filet Mignon was cooked better the 1st time too. Shame that it was such a negative experience. read more

Absolutely without a doubt the best steaks burgers and filet mignon in Hunterdon County. Our go to spot for date night once a week!! The drinks are amazing too. Whitney is the best bartender! We love this place!!! read more
