    Outside seating

    We figured we'd give this place a try since we were in Florham Park. The food was good. My grilled chicken sandwich was a little bland, but once I added their chipotle mayo it was perfect. My mocktail was amazing! I believe it was peach puree, mint and club soda (so refreshing). Service was good. Out waiter came by to check on us quite often. We sat inside but I love that they have outdoor seating.

    I have to say I really enjoy The Thirsty Turtle. Although it's a sports bar and you think it might just be cool to watch a game, the food and staff are excellent and professional. We went the other night and met friends for dinner and it was a fantastic experience! The waiter, (I don't remember his name), but he memorized our order and everything came out perfect! We had appetizers, burgers, beer & drinks, and enjoyed everything we ate and drank. I also have to call out Manny who went above and beyond in helping me. He is smart and knows how to treat customers. Any establishment should be lucky to have him!

    The thirsty turtle is a pretty run of the mill sports bar. The food is alright, the drinks are alright, the people that work there are pretty nice. Sometimes the food is better than other days, pretty inconsistent. The wings and onion rings are pretty good, Irish nachos are weird. Stick to beer and wine because the cocktails are mediocre. A good spot for a work event or lunch.

    The Thirsty Turtle has a nice, friendly vibe to it. The host and servers were all very kind and polite. The food was pretty good my Penne Vodka with chicken could've used a little more sauce. Other than that everything else w

    Food was okay and the service was good but the biggest impression was that the place is just too brown. Your mileage may vary.

    Nice ambiance. Sangria was refreshing, apps were good, turkey burger came out on a ghetto flat bread which ruined it for me.

    Food has been a big improvement lately. They updated the menu and serve much better quality food. Gained a star.

    This place is a hidden gem. The food is always fabulous and although the service can sometimes be slow, it's worth the wait.

    Located in a large strip mall with plenty of parking, The Office is definitely convenient and easy…read moreto swing by. That said... I finally gave it a try after hearing so much hype since it opened its first location in the area, and I honestly didn't quite get it. Ordered takeout, and everything you see pictured came out to around $100, which set the expectations a bit higher. Unfortunately, most of the food were pretty average.....tavern food that leaned more "heat and serve" than freshly made. A lot of it tasted like it could've been toasted straight from frozen packaging, which was disappointing given the price point. As for dessert, the cookies definitely tasted store bought, which kind of summed up the overall experience. Not terrible, but not memorable either. It's convenient and quick if you're in the area and need something easy, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

    I came in expecting a nostalgic experience reminiscent of my college days and the Montclair, NJ…read morelocation--but unfortunately, this visit fell short. The wings tasted frozen rather than fresh and were sent back. The baby back ribs arrived room temperature at best, which was disappointing. The $28 lobster roll was very petite; while the server did give a heads-up, it was still underwhelming once it arrived. To be fair, the manager, Charlotte, genuinely tried to make things right and handled the situation professionally. At that point, though, we weren't in the mood to risk further disappointment, so we chose not to continue. Overall, this location didn't live up to the expectations set by past experiences at other Office Bar & Grill locations--especially the one in Montclair. I truly wanted this visit to feel like a throwback, but instead it felt inconsistent and forgettable.
