It's a really nice place with an abundance of seating options and full active bar scene. Service is really good and our server Adie (maybe right spelling) was pleasant and on top of things. Nice menue and specials to choose from and the food is served on time, hot, fresh and not one dish on top of the others. My "only" negative is sitting in the bar area the "jukebox" was sometimes played so loud you couldn't hear yourself talk or speak. read more

Tiptons Tavern - Menú - Pubs Near Me - Phillipsburg, New Jersey

My first visit to Tiptons Tavern, just over the River in Phillipsburg, NJ. The parking lot was packed, as well as the restaurant. We opted to take a table outside on their lawn, which was a nice space. The picnic tables cut me a little short and weren't very comfortable -- but that's typically my problem. Our server was very welcoming and genuine. Our group was seven, and she offered to split the checks. I asked for the hottest wings available, as did one of my associates. The wing sauce was unremarkable. It was very thin on heat & thin on flavor. It was quite sweet in my opinion. Mike Osuch said it best, "BBQ sauce has more heat than this." The cook on the wing itself was quite remarkable, however. They were crispy and just the way I like them. The bleu cheese was a level above standard, with plenty of crumbled bleu in the dressing. If they could get a signature hot sauce, these wings could possibly be destination wings. I love a good tavern/ bar pie. They offer a 12" thin crust pie, with a homemade sauce. You already know I am ordering this, well done... and what a let down. The crust was unremarkably pedestrian. The sauce was flavorless, and duly unimpressive. Don Pepino in the yellow can would have been a tremendous upgrade. The cheese blend was applied generously, but was weaker than Eric Bischoff's character rating in WWE 2K and in ring talent. The highlight that was reported to me, by one of my buddies, said the herb roasted prime rib was outstanding and also the Bavarian Pretzel. The pretzel was enormous! Overall it was average for me, nothing impressive. It's a very nice space outside. Oddly cash bar outside, but they accept cards inside. If you're gonna enjoy the outside, bring cash. I did observe the staff all had iPads, to take orders. #rushieeats read more

Arrived in the middle of a Saturday afternoon. Staffing was light as they had an event taking place. Seating was comfortable in the main dining room, and wait staff were friendly and attentive. Drinks came slow but were tasty. I had the pumpkin ale and my wife had a martini. Food options were broad and had some nice surprises. We got the soft pretzel and beef skewers for starters and both were delicious. The pretzel was enormous so keep that mind when ordering. I ordered the Octoberfest burger and tots and my wife chose the fish n chips. Servings were ample and had great flavor. I ordered the chocolate layer cake to go and it made a tasty late night snack. Moist and fresh. Will definitely be back. It looked like the private party was eating up staff, which would make sense why our server was scrambling in the main dining area. Her name was Hayley and she was very competent and attentive. read more

Food gets 5 Stars, but HOLY CRAP our service on a Thursday night is so slow we want to estimate the bill and leave some cash on the table and walk out. Still here, and this is ridiculous. The food is good enough to come back but ffs how can i? We only have 100 years to live and i cant waste this much time in one restaurant. read more

Went here for brunch. Drinks were good. If you want a higher end Bloody Mary, order the Tipton's Bloody Mary. Service was fast. I had the hash brown combo and my husband had steak and eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly. The rest of the menu looks great and we will definitely be back again. read more

Good was great! I had the scallop dinner entree w orzo in a pesto sauce. Delish! Kayla , our server, was friendly and fun. Food was prompt, ample and very good!! Band was playing.

Went to Tiptons with a group of friends for dinner. It's in a beautiful old historic building which had a great atmosphere. Our waitress was very friendly. She explained the specials of the day and took our drink order. She brought our drinks quickly and they were quite tasty. Then we gave our food order. I ordered the beef tips with broccoli and French fries, which also came with a side salad. The salad was fresh with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots. My beef tips were a little tough but I did love the fresh cut fries. I'd like to return for more drinks and some wings and other apps. read more

Tiptons Tavern - Beef tips with broccoli and fries - Pubs Near Me - Phillipsburg, New Jersey

A great spot for dinner or drinks in the Phillipsburg area. An extensive drink and food menu to please anyone in your group. My family and I shared a few appetizers that were delicious! The scallops are a must try and the watermelon salad was great with a lot of ricotta salata which is my favorite! For entree I had the chicken Caesar wrap which was standard, could've used more dressing and flavor but the quality of bar food you'd expect. The outdoor patio is so nice and the live music was great! It was a hot day so we chose to eat inside but unfortunately the AC wasn't working properly. Our server was very sweet and attentive and I will definitely come back, especially for those scallops! read more

Had a nice lunch at Tipton's. Very cool venue in an old historic building where you walk across a cute creek to enter. Different rooms and a nice big bar with outside seating available. I got the Brussel sprouts with onion and teriyaki sauce. It was very tasty. The Tuscany chicken sandwich was very good. Chicken was tender and marinated. The roll was fresh. The garlic aoli had nice flavor to it. Bartender was super nice. Locally owned. Check it out read more

Decent place to catch some games & enjoy some food. Great football menu. We liked the sampler app platter - great way to taste several things. The spinach artichoke dip is delish! We really liked the bourbon pours too! Guess it was obvious we were foodies/Yelpers as the chef came out & gave us a sampling of the specials - very good! We were kind of full after the app platter so we shared a cheeseburger which was very good but the fries were lackluster. The interior is just OK, kind of dark, not too great. Definitely will go back again! read more

Awful, miserable, worst experience in 47 years on Earth, should get shut down. Not just about the long and disproportionately extensive wait once we sat down... There was no host at the door when we arrived... No plates for the appetizers... The food itself is gross at best and nobody should ever eat such things... oil, greasy, fat, artery-clogging, disgusting... Waitress got the appetizers wrong... brought a pretzel instead of the potato skins we ordered... Don't do it... go on to another option. This place deserves to get sued. If I don't end up hospitalized! Look at the photos... Looks like a baked potato? Nope... it's the fish and chips!!! 85% artery-clogging fried greasy oil, 15% some sort of fish and maybe potatoes somewhere deep inside. My mother-in-law ordered a burger... ordered it medium well. Arrived medium rare. And the wait... unbearable. read more

I contacted Tipton's Tavern month's in advance in planning our high school class reunion. Not only did I get a timely response, but a wealth of information which heavily weighed in on the final decision of making the reservation. The whole process was seamless, and all questions were answered timely by Linda Tipton. Fast forward to event: everything went well, very well! Better than expected. We chose the Tavern Party Menu, which is a condensed menu including every protein option, salad , and dessert. KC was the assigned server, and she handled our group, approximately 50, flawlessly. I had zero complaints, and many words of praise! Our class will definitely consider using this venue again and I encourage those of you hosting a large crowd to check out reservations in their private dining rooms. read more

Service is good and food is ok. What continues to bother me are fees. Fee for cocktails (they said it was included) and the fee to use a credit card. We were also very unlucky as a kitchen fan broke so they turned on an outside fan near our table to pull smoke out, which caused it to be very cold and smelly (it is usually very cold). All the smoke detectors kept going off so they removed them. We ended smelling like the fryer. When I asked to see the manager, she was understandably stressed and not at all caring. I think I am done there, tired of fees, tired of freezing, tired of feeling like it's my fault all the time, and tired of this new standard of customer service. read more

We had a small Wedding celebration there. Thank you Linda and Bella for everything. The room was perfect and Bella, our server, server took care of everything. We had the Tavern Party Menu and our guests were extremely happy with the choices and everyone raved how delicious everything was from the soup, salad and entrees to the deserts. We also sampled several appetizers that were also great. I can honestly say everything was perfect not one complaint and can highly recommend. We will be going back again for dinner. read more

Can't beat the outside atmosphere here a stream, farm in the distance and nice bar. Service was quick and kind. Food was good I will ask to not have the steak topper of aoli and bread crumbs next time. Goat cheese croquettes were good rosemary was a little strong inside them. read more

Tonight we were looking for a new place to go to for our 10 year wedding anniversary and we chose Tiptons. We made a reservation and were greeted by smiling faces. We went to our table and were greeted by Riley who was an exceptional waitress. She was on top of everything and our food came out hot and delicious. Our 7 year old said wow this has to be our new place and we have to come 5 days a week from now on. I can't wait to come back to try other things, huge shout out to Riley for being such a great server! read more

Not ready for prime time Looks to have potential from the outside. Lobby is very interesting albeit lacking any significant seating to wait. I'd recommend calling ahead for reservations as without and was advised it would be 15-20 min wait. It was early and there were many tables open so we agreed. The hostess was kind enough to clear off a bench behind the hostess station to sit. After waiting a hour we asked for a update from the hostess who did not respond. A few minutes later a nice young woman was kind enough to tell us it would be an additional 15-20 minutes before the would seat anyone in order to allow the kitchen to catch up. Given we have waited this long we opted to wait. About Thirty minutes later we were told they would not be seating anyone else (including us). Needless to say we were not please as this left us with limited alternatives.... It was concerning that the fire alarms activated two times with what must have been self resetting as well. read more

My partner picked up 2 chicken parms for dinner on the 30th of last month. My partner ate it before I got a chance to and exclaimed that it tasted like "the last thing I threw up a couple months ago." Before I even tried mine, I could smell theirs. It smelled like absolute stomach bile. I could barely tolerate it. I thought maybe just the cheese smelled a little funky. So, I first tasted a bit of the pasta... I couldn't even stomach the bite. It tasted like puke. Like someone took the pot of marinara, threw up in it, mixed it up, and poured it all over the food. I can't even imagine what the chicken would have tasted like. We had to throw away both of our meals... How disappointing. We both were very hungry and excited to eat last night. But quickly, our night was soured and we went to bed hungry. I understand our order was placed fairly late and close to when the kitchen was closing. But that was absolutely disgusting. Everything was rancid. I cannot believe that "food" was given to us. I never tasted such a thing at any place I have ever been to; or even in my life. I am disappointed, dissatisfied, and grossed out beyond belief. Truly an utter shock and an absolute waste of ~$60. I tried contacting the establishment. I was friendly on the phone but Eric Tipton was absolutely argumentative and inconsiderate. He was yelling and being aggressive. He claimed that everyone who ate the chicken parm that day and himself the day before liked it. He did not understand that maybe a bad batch was served. Maybe someone tampered with our food because it was relatively late? Who knows? If the kitchen did not want to take our order, they should have denied our order initially. Not mess with it. He also claimed that it took an "hour" for us to pick up the food and maybe it went bad during that time frame... It did not take an hour at all... More like 30 minutes after the order was placed. Even if it was an hour, how could food absolutely go rancid in an hour? Make it make sense Eric. I would not go to such lengths if this were not true. I am utterly disappointed from the customer service at this establishment. There was no offer to make this right. Shame on Tipton's Tavern. read more

Wonderful food! Second time being here and it was delicious. Pretzel was absolutely huge and amazingly good. Tuscany chicken sandwich I highly recommend. Will be back! read more

First timer here. Fiancé and I were recommended this place from Facebook. The boneless wings we started with were pretty good. Large portion for what you get. She got the chicken divan which was huge! I got the prime rim. Both entrees were amazing! Everything was HOT! Prime rib had an awesome crust and cooked perfectly to a medium temp that I ordered. The mashed potatoes were light and fluffy. The green beans were cooked to perfection. Finished off with the key lime moose. She thought it was too sweat but I thought it was perfect! Server was super friendly and answered all of our questions! Highly recommend this place! read more

Can't review the food because no one ever took our order and waited on us. after 45 minutes we walked out

Great food great service! Went for an impromptu lunch after my son got married in a park in Belvidere. There were 10 of us. Everything was delicious! Definitely check them out. read more

As far as the food all I'll say is that I should have said yes to the salt and pepper when asked if we needed it because it would have helped. My issue was with the bill. I was charged $19 for the prime rib sandwich and it is priced at $17 on the menu. When I questioned the bartender she said that there was an up charge for the salad. I asked to see a menu (to be sure) and pointed out that it says "sandwiches, wraps and tacos come with hand cut fries, tater tots, rice or salad of the week" there was no upcharge mentioned. I asked for a salad instead of the fries and was not told there was an upcharge for the salad that the menu said it came with. Your prices should be transparent. I called and spoke with owner later and got a very poor attitude, she said there was not enough room on the menu to put the up charge. They should be clear with what they are charging customers. $2 is not the issue, its that this establishment is not up front with their pricing. read more

I didn't get any pictures because we ate it to fast. Lol Tiptons Tavern hit it way out of the park again. We had cajun chicken, beef tenderloin tips and roxburger. For an appetizer we shared the grilled steak quesadilla. I have to say it was truly amazing. The waitress Cassandra is the best. She was awesome very friendly and great at her job. If you haven't been there yet I highly recommend stopping in. Can't wait to go back.. read more

TLDR: Its still got new vibes but it's great so far with a lot of potential too. Sorry RCT, but you have been out done. Boyfriend and I got a good selection of dishes. Everything was top notch. Prime rib was steakhouse quality except this place knows how to season a steak! And the au jus was exactly right. I am so pleased. Server(s) and management(?) were very nice and everything was timely. Yes, we are talking about your local tavern, not a Michelin-starred restaurant. But I think they have done a fantastic job so far and I am very excited to see what warm weather brings for this tavern with their nice patio. Note to the owners if you read this... things can always be tough starting out and its nerve-racking... but you've done an incredible job here. Keep killing it like you are and you'll be fine. In fact, you'll do great. read more

Had dinner here a couple of times and thought it would be a great place to host a baby shower for my sister-in-law. Planning the shower was somewhat last minute but the Tavern had the date and time available that we wanted so it was the perfect choice. We were able to bring in decorations and our own dessert. We were kindly greeted when we arrived early to setup, and our guests were greeted and brought back to the room we were in. All of the appetizers, entrees and drinks were delicious! Our server, and other employees that assisted us were fantastic. I would highly recommend Tiptons Tavern for dinner or events! read more

I ordered the Sangria which was okay. I am a BIG sangria person, I didn't love this sangria but I didn't hate it. However, the presentation was 10/10. My friends ordered 2 martinis- I know the one is a key lime martini, which is a favorite, but not sure what the other is. I like the atmosphere a lot here. I forgot to take a picture of what I got for my entree which was something like the sweet chilli wings, which was good! read more

Attempted to enjoy some drinks on the back porch area. Got seated and we sat for 45 minutes waiting for ANYONE to acknowledge our presence. Even when brought to waitstaff attention, we waited for 10 minutes before we got up and left.

I am absolutely thrilled for this new local restaurant. The specialty drinks are delicious and refreshing. The goat cheese croquettes are to die for!

I highly recommend visiting during a nice day and enjoying your meal outside near the creek. I love that they showcase local breweries for their craft beer selections. An absolute gem - you won't be disappointed! read more

I had dinner and drinks here with my family. The space is super clean and inviting. The staff was really friendly and accommodating. The building was remodelled really tastefully and showcases a lot of old photos and maps of the building and area. I enjoyed walking the space and looking at it all. We had the prime rib , nachos, and taco salad. Which were all delicious . I could tell all the ingredients were of good quality and were seasoned really well. I would highly recommend eating here or coming in for just for a cocktail or beer in their outside space. read more

The pizza is horrible. That's not pizza in the slightest. Too thin crust that appears to be premade.

The food was absolutely AMAZING! The Nachos were so good as well as their garlic parm boneless wings. The service was also amazing, and the waitress was so patient with my family (we can DEFINITELY be a lot lol). And I loved the vibe that the place has. I can't wait to go back! read more

We saw Tiptons advertised at Wyckoff's Christmas Tree Farm after we had cut our tree and were very happy we decided to stop by when we were done for lunch. Only a few minutes away and spacious, we sat right away even though there were a bunch of other cars in the parking lot with trees on the roof. Very creative Christmas drink menu and great selection of beers. Food was delicious (I can personally vouch for the chorizo burger and hand cut fries as well as the Bavarian pretzel which was big and obviously made fresh) and the service was outstanding(KC our server was great). We will definitely be making Tiptons part of our annual trip to Wyckoff's Christmas Tree farm (they even give you 10% off if you tell them you came from cutting your tree lol). read more
