Went here on Saturday 3rd April and sat outside - it was comfortable and a beautiful warm day. Our server was friendly and efficient/accommodating and made our visit very enjoyable. Just a simple lunch of beer and burgers well executed. If I'm in the area again, will certainly stop by read more

Pretty skimpy on the Alfredo with grilled chicken. For a $31 dish, I expect it to have more pasta and the chicken on top. Not in a separate container. read more

First time visiting the Telford Inn. I just wanted to praise the staff. We had a young man named Shane and he was the Bomb !!! So personable, friendly and knowledgeable!!! Very attentive to our needs and so were the other waitresses. Even the Hostess was friendly!! Job well done!! read more

First time at Telford Inn! I went with my sister and brother and we had a great siblings evening out! We sat out on the desk, there was a light breeze and it was a lovely experience. Great apps and cocktails! My brother had a Guinness, which they had on tap. Our nice young server, she was friendly and helpful with recommendations from the menu as well. We'll be back for sure! :) read more

Nice outdoor seating and the service was great, but we asked about the prime rib on the menu if it was served medium to medium rare and they said yes and it was very good. Ordered 2 dinners and both came out medium well. We sent one back and they brought a different cut back a little pinker but still no where close to even medium. We would have ordered something different on the menu if they had simply came back and explained they were not able to fill the order as wanted. Very disappointing!! read more

The prime rib and seafood is always my favorite here. Prime rib so good I could actually eat two read more

Telford Inn - The sign says it all. They do have a GREAT prime rib dinner. I've gad it a few times. - American Near Me - Mantua, New Jersey

Meh. A bit of a mixed bag, but overall I was supremely underwhelmed. The Good: - The place is nice. The interior is clean and well apportioned. The deck was nice for outdoor dining. - The server we had was great. Friendly, quick on the service, etc. The Bad: - The menu is 1) sparse and 2) oddly priced. Again, I don't like places that have appetizers that cost as much as entrees. Also, I HAAAAAATE places that give chips as a side with your meal, and you can upgrade to fries. +$3 at ol' Telford The Ugly: - The food was pretty bad. We got a bunch of apps, because we went at lunch time and there were like 4 lunch options. (No one is going to eat a damn chicken pot pie at noon on a Wednesday, especially when its 90 degrees outside.) We went with Onion Rings, Crispy Chicken Bao Buns, Poutine and Chicken Tenders. The onion rings were tiny slivers of onions, with a pound of GREEEEEEEEASY breading. Neither of us could taste the ONION in our onion rings. The bao buns weren't soft enough to be bao buns, and cracked and crumbled as we ate. But the taste of the chicken was at least ok, with the Sriracha Honey they put on. The poutine was GROSS. First, it didn't appear to be cheese curds, but just melted cheddar. Secondly, the gravy tasted like the powdered gravy that come out of a bag, and was INCREDIBLY salty. The chicken fingers surprised in a few ways; first, it was like SIX chicken fingers, which was the only positive. Or, it WOULD have been, if they weren't gross. Secondly, they were heavily breaded as well, and the breading took over the taste. Third, they come to the table dry; no sauce, nothing. We had to ask for honey mustard after the fact. The 4 apps, one beer and one iced tea came out to $61 before tax. Definitely won't be going back read more

Nice steakhouse with bar attached. You can sit on the restaurant side or in the more noisy bar side. You can get burgers or prime rib or seafood! good variety on menu. There is a child menu also. Servers were pleasant and efficient. On cold winters nights, there is a fireplace which is very pleasant to be next to you. There's also an outside deck for pleasant weather. read more

We were meeting some friends in the area and they suggested the Telford Inn. I liked the coziness of the dining area inside. I could see having some nice comfort food in the winter here. We ended up eating outside on the deck area, looking off over the roadways. They were far enough away to not feel like you are on the road. We ended up splitting the Prime Rib Sandwich. It came out and almost looked slightly larger than a slider sandwich. Although small, it was very very good. Our friends got a burger, short rib Mac and cheese and a chicken wrap. All the portion seemed small, but the food was good. We enjoyed it, but it just seemed pricey for what you got. read more

Food was good, however portions were small and very pricey. It's a shame. We have been going there for many years and unfortunately not anymore. read more

Good beer and a long history with many locals. The prime rib sandwich is a solid foundation here and worth at least one good visit.

One of my favorite places to go! We loves summers here sitting outside BUT the warmth and decorations of the winter keep us coming back! the service is always great and we love the food selection. This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion read more

Telford Inn is overrated expensive and not all that great. The portions of food are small and lots of money. outside of the business looks trashy with the trailer on the side. It's a site for sore eyes doesn't look good outside of a business. They need to cover it up. bring it somewhere else. The only thing they have good there is the entertainment, a young man that sings there he's great. read more

Had my daughter's engagement party here, everything from start to finish was perfect! Our servers is Dom and Finn were exceptional. We had a great time! read more

Telford Inn is a very well decorated and the ambiance feels classy but casual. The service was great and our waiter was very nice and patient. We ordered 2 apps to share. The sweet potato fries were cooked well, it was sweet and crunchy. They paired well with the sweet and savory aioli. The crispy bao buns were okay but cost as much as an entree. They were coated in a sauce that were inspired by Asian flavors (more like Korean fried chicken) which made the chicken lose its crunchiness. The cabbage was helpful in making it feel well balanced and less heavy. Honestly, would probably skip over it next time. As for my turkey wrap, it was just underwhelming. It was kinda dry, it either needs more mayo or some sauce on the side. The wrap felt like it tasted more of lettuce than turkey. It came with a side of chips which weren't great. I would've preferred it came with fries. Overall, less than average tasting American food for an average price. read more

Loaded short rib nachos were amazing! Ambiance and service were excellent. Always like the Telford Inn.

Not impressed with the food. I ordered black bass and it came out really dried and overdone. Service is not bad. Dining room is pretty empty as most patrons are in the bar watching the Eagles! read more

Very delicious food, very good prices for the portion sizes. Our waitress Mckenzie was lovely.

Last time I ever get food from here. Food is usually good enough when dining in, always subpar when getting take out but that's to be expected. This is another level. This was supposed to be a wedge salad with a $14 rib cap steak, ordered medium. There was more shredded cheddar than bleu cheese, no dressing, and just tossed in a box. Steak was 2.5 oz. So nasty I lost my appetite. Straight in the trash. My wife was too grossed out to eat her food as well. Deserves 0 stars. Do better!! read more

The Telford Inn has been our go to spot whether we wanted a burger and fries or a great steak. Unfortunately, the new menu brought some disappointment. I was glad to see my favorite appetizer, the Short Rib Nachos were still available until they were served. The chips sat in a puddled of liquid from the Pico, there was a small clump of room temperature short rib and a small drizzle of crema. This dish normally was served with warmed chips and an ample amount of perfectly seasoned Pico, this was not the case. The Barrel Steak which was a starring item on the menu was sadly gone. There was a Flatiron Steak or a New York Strip but they just didn't fit the bill. I opted for the prime rib sandwich which the Telford is known for but not this time. My sandwich was more fat than meat. Our service was spotty at best and this visit was a major disappointment. read more

Wonderful waiter and great service! Telford ambiance is a warm and cozy vibe. Had not been in years where I used to love the potato encrusted salmon in a sauce but long gone and also would enjoy the prime rib sandwiches which are still on the menu. A friend ordered the prime rib sandwich and she said it wasn't good like it used to be because of a skimpy amount of beef. I ordered a salad which came which blue cheese. Since goat cheese was on a dish listed in the specials, I asked to switch the blue cheese for goat cheese. The waiter was upset and came back and said he doesn't agree since only switching, but that he had to up charge another $3.00. per the chef on an already overpriced salad. Out came the salad with less than a tsp of the goat cheese. I even told the waiter but he wasn't allowed to bring more. Based on 2 orders not up to par, i doubt I would return. We gave a generous tip based on the service but certainly not on the food. read more

This was my first time here since the new menu and renovations. I was very impressed overall! I went here for lunch in the middle of the week and ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. The salad was very good and filling. The prices for not only the salad, but for the other items too, seemed very reasonable. Also, the service was excellent. I would highly recommend coming here and checking it out! read more

We sat in the dining room for dinner which is usually a slower pace. The waitress was in such a hurry to get us out that she took my boyfriend's plate while he was eating. He was chewing and still had his fork in his hand. He couldn't say anything because his mouth was full. When we left we noticed there was nobody waiting to be seated. Not sure what the rush was. My medium well burger was raw. read more

Short and sweet. A tavern/bar food gem in southern Jersey now has fine dining aspirations that are not reflected in the ambiance or menu. Mantua is not the zip code where relaxed come as you are dinner joints can suddenly pull a rabbit out of a hat and become $60pp "white tablecloth" destinations simply by jacking up menu and bar pricing without a new chef and a thorough rethinking of the zero intimacy saloon atmosphere. "If you build it they will come" pixie dust metaphysics may work on a movie set in Iowa but in salt of the earth Gloucester County, putting new wine in old bottles seems presumptuous and not the best idea that I've heard (or tasted) today. read more

Much better than in the past. Only had breakfast there recently. The potatoes were great. Omelet was good too!

The. Best. Drinks. Ever. !!!!! Dirty martinis rock with blue cheese olives and the cucumber cooler is delish! Never disappointed when we go! read more

COVID-19 review: Very pleasant outdoor seating on the porch and patio (no rickety tables in a parking lot here). Well spaced out and all their staff wore masks both inside & outside. The menu is pared down a bit, which makes sense given the strict dining capacity guidelines. But everything we ordered was fresh, tasty and on par. Huge props for a local business used to serving a large indoor bar crowd for a nicely done pivot to keep everyone both safe and happy! This is only the second restaurant I've dined at since way back when (February?) given my cautiousness, but I wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

Conveniently around the corner, we thoroughly enjoyed our first (takeout) Telford Inn experience. What a lovely restaurant. I loved the warm feeling I got when I walked in. Our meal started with the calamari since they ran out of the (special) crab mac and cheese. Seasoned and tender accompanied by a marinara and super yummy sriracha Mayo. Following, my boyfriend and I shared the ranch chicken wrap (with fries) and the angry shrimp with fettuccine. You ever get a wrap that is wet and falls apart?! NOPE NOT THIS WRAP. Every element was delicious and tasted exactly how you'd expect it. For the finale - the angry shrimp with fettuccine: mouth watering! *chefs kiss* The pasta is homemade, as fresh as can be with jumbo shrimps cooked to perfection. A fabulous meal. I wonder what we'll be back to try next! read more

Service was awful. Food took a long time even though the restaurant was almost empty. Food was tasty but not hot.

The Telford is one of those places you go to for special occasions. It's old Victorian & very well maintained. There are 2 parts, the dining area & the bar. I've never been in the bar, but it looked nice. It's very handicapped friendly & you don't feel as if you're too crowded. The servers are nice & very knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is varied enough to find something to suit every food preference. The food is expertly prepared & very good. My husband especially loves their steaks. My parents loved their Sunday brunch. I'm a Vegan & Diabetic, so for me their weren't a lot of options, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. This is more of an upscale restaurant & the prices reflect that, however I think the prices are fair considering the quality & service. read more

The Telford Inn has been around for a long time and I appreciate their updated menu. The adult ham and cheese is a favorite. The vibe is very local and it is always a welcoming environment. read more

A whole day went by and no reply from ownership or management. Tells me everything I need to know. You people owe me $40 for a meal I never had. Learn to cook a burger on a Wednesday night. My wife's birthday was ruined by your incompetent cook. We both ordered burgers medium and they came out overcooked after we waited an hour. Totally ridiculous. read more

Yummy delish restaurant..Portions was "ok"... Price was good...Staff super friendly and helpful...Would go again...Local

Great Dinner, appetizers and drinks..sat at bar table. Owner Brad is very active and helping staff. He is engaging with customers. Food was amazing, fresh - during Covid we saw a dip in food and service like most places but are so happy they are back to the high quality food and service they have always been known food. Chef even stopped by our table and spoke with us about the October fest specials .. our server was amazing as well. Great job and we will be back more often. The updates to outside of building are also beautifully done - very welcoming :.place was packed with lots of locals but runs like a well oiled machine .. read more

Great food. Great service. Amazing atmosphere! We love it here! Great for date night or just a regular night out!

Food was terrible. Soda was flat. Got a chicken wrap with upgraded fries. Chicken was hard and tasted like it sat out under a lamp all day. Fries tasted old as well. read more

My dinner with my daughter last week was delicious. I had the filet . Cooked exactly as I asked and it was very tender. I asked for A1 steak sauce but didn't need it because the steak gravy was that good! Smashed potatoes were good but would have been better if hotter. Asparagus texture or hardness just right . Over all this place keeps getting better. read more
