    Thai chili Wings
    chris k.

    Best wing spot around. The flavors are out of this world so many to choose from. Crispy and good sized wings. Love the bar atmosphere and plenty of TVs for sports. Wednesday wing night is the best 50 cent wings, great deal. They have plenty of beers on tap and bottle as well. Service was fast and server always made sure we had full drinks.

    What a great bar! I stopped in for lunch and was surprised that they actually had so e reasonable priced lunch specials! The food tasted great service was awesome! Had a such a great experience that I went back two days in a row. Wish i had found it earlier in the week.

    It's a pretty fun bar to hang out with friends. They offer a lot of food options, and we really enjoy their bar pie, waffle-seasoned fries, and Thai chili boneless wings. If you visit during a busy time, be prepared to wait! They should consider hiring more staff on their busy days and nights.

    Visited here on a Wednesday evening. It was a little busy but that's also because it was the night before a holiday. There was security at the door checking IDs. We sat by the bar. The bartender was friendly and attentive. We ordered a piña colada, a beer, and waters to drink. For food my partner had lemon pepper wings and fries & I had the pulled pork sandwich with steak fries. We shared an order of onion rings. Everything was good! It lived up to the expectations (my partner discovered this place recently and raves about the wings). They have many TVs around the entire bar and they had the games playing. They also had a good variety of music playing. Overall, it was a good time. We will be returning for sure.

    Update to my previous review: I need to express my disappointment with my recent visit. The website clearly advertises a Sunday wing special for $0.50 (dine-in only) *picture attached, tell me you dont see the special listed there?*. However, when we visited, the waitress informed us that the owner no longer honors this offer. If you're no longer offering this special, please remove it from your website. This is misleading advertising and caused unnecessary frustration for customers who come expecting the advertised price. Maintaining accurate information online shows respect for your customers' time.

    When your first impression is a sign telling you to leave your weapons at home and yet another stating you cannot enter with "colors", the place better be amazing...but it was not. The place is ample in size but the interior layout is a mess. At one point you need to walk in the path of two dart stations, yikes. With only two over worked bartenders serving both the bar and tables, restaurant/bar management was definitely not part of the owner's process. There is an ample selection of wings. The buffalo was good, the lemon pepper oddly tasted like curry and forget the sad, sad onion rings. It's a local joint on the Passaic border so you will notice the shot warning detectors overhead on the street. If I lived closer, I may return but for me it was a one and done. (Extremely noisy too). My friend Alex summed it up best, "my hotdog for lunch was better."

    Hot Wing Hero Sandwich with your choice of a sauce. I tried mine with their "honey sriracha" sauce.

    I freaking love this place, man. From the food to the beer selection. The vibes are always dope in here. You cannot go wrong with coming to this place. Love when Danielle, Lex, Stevie, Tony are working. Their service is amazing. If you're an IPA drinker like me you'll find a very nice selection of those at The Rock.

    20% tips on our bill without telling us? Also for poor service

    Unfortunately I'm updating the review from 4 to 2 stars. I can see how the service at this place can be a hit or miss. We loved it a lot the the first time because our waitress was very lovely and the food and beer was good. But this second time was very disappointing! And a 20% tip on our bill without telling us?! For a party of 2?! What was this about?! Service was nearly nonexistent. The waitress didn't care to spend a few seconds with us. We waited a very long time before she came to take our order. From the second we walked in, I felt like she didn't really welcome us. And my gut feeling was right. We saw her chatting up other tables but didn't want to spend more than a few seconds with us. And only to be slapped with a 20% gratuity at the end?! Come on. Me and my husband are both in the service industry, we always tip very well for good service and decent for poor service. For a automatic gratuity to be added like that was just not right. Especially when there was no warning. Food was actually decent and the beer was good. But I will not be visiting this place again

    This a clean divey bar perfect for watching sports. Wings cooked to perfection, paired it with xxl sauce. The sauce was flavorful with a little heat that hit the back of your throat. If you like Spicy food you know this perfect!!! Onions rings golden brown and not greasy. The bar is stocked with a large selection of beer,hard seltzer's, and canned mixed drinks. The wine selection is limited and not the best. Adding a Sauvignon blanc, a better Grigio, noir, something sparkly is Needed. Wine needs to be served in a glass the plastic changes the test. I was going to leave when my husband finished his beer. Katie, was so much fun and attentive. We stayed until she finished her shift. Bonus: they have darts and music box

    I have had this place bookmarked on Yelp for the longest time. I was seafood and my husband…read moresuggested we try this place out. When I told my mom where we were going her reaction- "omg that place is still around?!? It use to be excellent back in the day!" Well I am happy to report this place is just as good today as it was during my mother's heyday. I decided to get a few oysters and clams to start off with and everything was just so fresh. As an entree the Seafood in a spicy red sauce was easily one of the best I have had in a very long time. There was a generous amount of seafood within the dish, the sauce I swear I could just drink it out of a cup and the pasta was cooked perfectly. My husband got the bbq ribs which I didn't try but you could see how they just slid right off the bone and he couldn't stop talking about how good they were. We ended our meal with some strong espresso. I enjoyed how it is a very casual atmosphere with a nice bar area that had a few TVs to watch some sports games. No need to dress to impress. The service was a little bit on the slower side but the waitress was very nice. The man who brought out my oysters, I asked him which were the east coast and which where in the west coast oysters, along with asking him where in the west coast my oysters were from and he couldn't tell me. I just think a place should just know these things is they are selling them. Nonetheless we still really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to return.

The Jersey Shore restaurants will always have an advantage when it comes to seafood because of location. North Jersey offers a diverse, high-quality seafood scene, ranging from upscale Mediterranean-style fish markets to casual, beloved neighborhood spots. Situated less than 2.5 miles from MetLife Stadium, Biggie's has been a neighborhood institution located off of Route 17 South in Carlstadt and is best known for its clams-on-the-half-shell and wide selection of beers on tap. My partner, our friends, and I have been to this family-owned establishment numerous times and decided to have dinner last night. The reservation was easily made via OpenTable. Upon entering this casual vibe, we were greeted by the host. There is a lively sports bar side full of TVs and a dining room side, where we got a booth immediately by the window. Their menu has a wide array of options, rivaled only by the countless photographs and mementos that fill nearly every inch of wall space. There are many sandwiches, a half-dozen salads, thin-crust pizzas, and a substantial range of pastas. For starters, we decided on two dozen East Coast oysters on a half shell and Steamed Mussels with white wine butter broth. A side of Italian bread was brought for dipping. As a main meal, we opted for the Turkey Chili, Baby Back Ribs, Fried Calamari, Caesar salad, and Fries. The food was excellent and delicious, using the freshest ingredients. The portions were healthy. The staff went out of their way to make one feel welcome, creating a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Our server was Hadiyah. The price was reasonable. The Garden State's seafood scene is a testament to the state's rich maritime heritage, offering something for every palate, whether one's a regular or a first-timer. This is why people keep coming back week after week.

It feels rooted in the same philosophy that says a man buys three suits and somehow discovers endless outfits within them. But is there anything wrong with just three good suits? Do all possible combinations truly have value? At what point does variety become a little ridiculous? That said, the bones -- so to speak -- are very good. The wings are fried well, generously sauced, and satisfying in whatever flavor palette you ultimately settle on. Just do not expect the decision-making process to come easily.

    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.

The waffles actually taste like funnel cake which was a nice surprise. THEN. The burger came out and that is why this review dropped. It had a small hair on the side of the plate and a closer look at the rest of the plate, you'll see a long hair on the pickle. That was disappointing but happy to have tried the place nonetheless.
