    Margarita
    Alicia N.

    Poor experience. Hadn't gone in a while and decided to stop in. Service was unfortunately very bad and slow at the bar. Missed the two regular guys- not sure if they're not there anymore, but the two bartenders today on a Wednesday night (a woman and guy with glasses) were not attentive at all. Everything took incredibly long. Even waited long for the check. Decided to finish one drink, leave and go elsewhere. Disappointed.

    Mexican Rice : enjoyable

    Delivery order placed today!!! My husband and I shared a Sizzling Molcajete and Cajeta Flan( dessert ) ;MOLCAJETE has shrimp, cheese,Nopal ( cactus), steak, chicken on the grill and I felt like if I was eating Carne Asada ( outdoors bb-q/ grill food) at home . Flavor is exactly what you can get in my country Flan was amazing, too... Service: It seems that everything is prepared with love and high quality ingredients ... oh! I forgot to mention tortillas de Harina (flour tortillas ) are handmade and tastes really delicious. All was well wrapped and perfect temperature! thank you guys and see you soon. God bless you !!! ‍

    This review is ALL about the blueberry margarita in the margarita flight. Wednesday happy hour special $14 margarita flights. Great deal. Had mango (very good), passion fruit (very very good), raspberry (meh) and blueberry (freaking AWESOME!!!! And I'm not even a fan of blueberry generally speaking!). That blueberry margarita was SOOOO damned good!!! It had the best blueberry taste and was delightful. I highly recommend it. Oh and the beef chimichanga was good too. But it wasn't the blueberry margarita. lol

    Spicy Margarita w/ Tajin

    Decided to pop in after a local brewery across the street. Sat at the bar and was served complimentary chips and salsa. Started with Spicy Margaritas with a Tajin rim. Very good cocktail. Appetizers: Mexican Corn on the Cob - Definitely a different spin on street corn. It was a good combination. Steak Fajita - Very good. So good, 2 slices were gone before I could take the picture. Entree: Mixed Fajitas - Very good as well, typical Fajitas. Can't go wrong. Dessert: Churros - This was the only thing I would not recommend. I've had some good churros and this was not it. They were warm, but almost stale. Very hard and not light. Overall the service was amazing at the bar and the place has a good vibe. Would definitely go back to watch a game at the bar or dine with others.

    I have had a lot of Mexican food in my day, but this place by far outshines anywhere else I have ever eaten. Bryan was an amazingly attentive and helpful server brought all my drinks and food right away! I tried the Viva margarita complete with eyeball to get me into the Halloween spirit, it was strong and tasty. Then I started out with a Tableside guac, super fresh; followed by the quesabirria. I usually just get it with regular cows milk but I thought I would try something different and tried goats milk. Just as creamy and delicious! I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! I will never turn down a scratch kitchen.

    Came for taco Tuesday and Dia De Muerto Ask for a paper menu, the QR code takes you to the Instagram page not the menu page... Tues is half price taco and Mescal/Tequila. We don't drink, we came to eat! Guacamole made table side was delicious, the added garlic gives it more flavor. Birria Beef tacos were good. They are not part of the 1/2 price taco deal, which was ok since we didn't know it was 1/2 price tacos anyways. Cochinita Pibil Taco Salad was good. The lettuce and tomato were too cold though. If they put some hot rice and beans, as a base, it might warm up the lettuce from beneath and the hot meat on top would warm down. Pina Colada was good but the straws are so thin I wasn't able to drink it LOL If you like Mescal and Tequila this is the place for you! They gave us a big menu of it lol

    The place is pretty nice and clean. See pics for the interior and menu. The service is ok. It could be a bit friendlier. I just felt like we were bothering the bartender every time we asked a question but he wasn't rude just a weird mix of the service spectrum. We came for taco Tuesday for 1/2 price tacos and the tacos were good but small and did not include the beans and rice it said on the menu or what they advertise on their Instagram. So a little misleading. Just say tacos only and save people the trip when they come for the tacos, rice and beans. $5 Margaritas during Happy Hour were pretty good. The music they were playing was pretty good too. A lot of Karol G. I would come again but probably not for a while because every place deserves a second chance, but I'm a little disappointed in the service and the food because I expected more than what I got. The place has huge potential and was hoping for it to be my taco Tuesday spot but I guess my search continues. If this helped hit the like button and make sure to follow me more for more useful tips. You're welcome and remember to be nice to each other and especially your servers and bartenders. 20% for good service.

    California tacos (chicken and beef) amd carnita street tacos (on right).

    Fun place for a night out. Complementary chips and salsa. Huge bar with good Happy Hour. Great margaritas. Tacos and fajitas are consistently good. Guacamole is tasty and made table side. Prices are reasonable with good specials most days. Service is slower here than at Cliffside's, but the restaurant is bigger and busier and there is good music and ambiance. However, a little on the loud side of you are looking for somewhere quiet to talk.

Drinks were reasonably priced but the whole experience falls apart at the bar. I went here on a Thursday night, and was floored by how terrible the bartenders were. There were two of them working, and I would say the place was just minorly crowded. It literally took about 10-15 minutes for the bartender to even ask me what I wanted (A beer and a simple mixed drink). He then proceeded to walk away inbetween each step of service... giving me the beer, putting ice in my glass, pouring my liquor, and then the mixer. Then when he was done, I waited a bit longer for him to allow me to pay. I was also surrounded by a group of others who were just standing around trying to close out their tabs (a process which involves the bartender giving the card to their manager who takes it back into the kitchen to run the card... which I'm sorry but is completely inefficient and takes too long and just looks shady). I left after my second drink because I could have fermented the vodka myself before getting served a third time. It's a shame because the space is well done and the music was, in my opinion, really good.

New Milford, NJ 07746 $18.99 Lunch special: Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beer Smash Cheeseburger Fries I encountered this deal from a leaflet that was placed on my front door, so I decided to stop by on a weekday afternoon. The lunch offer is valid Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM. Hackensack Musket Haze Draft Beef: There was a variety of ten different draft beers to select. I don't order from the tap often, so I wasn't familiar with the beers. Before making my decision, Server Marcos was kind enough to let me sample it to be sure I I would like it. The IPA was fantastic. It was served chilled with a bit of foam up top. There was a hint of citrus and it had a smooth taste. Unfortunately, free refills are not included with the lunch special. Smash Cheeseburger & Fries: This is a perfect lunch serving portion as it will definitely keep you full until supper time. The double patty was served on a potato roll with special sauce and toppings; it didn't disappoint. The proportion of fries could have been a bit larger, but it they were still tasty. There are several flat screen HDTVs for patrons that enjoy watching sports as they wine and dine. If you enjoy the nightlife or clubbing atmosphere, a silver disco ball is adorned at the center of the restaurant. There is a decently sized outdoor seating area, which includes one semi-circular booth. As a bonus, if you want to purchase any bottled or canned beverages to bring home, there is a liquor store conveniently attached to the pub. This was a great lunch deal and if you need a quick meal in the middle of the day, stop by Barrel and Brew today! #barrelandbrew #barrelandbrewcraftbar #barrelandbrewlunchspecial #barrelandbrewwineandspirits

He also told us about the parking lot across the club where everyone parks conveniently to visit the club. We went to the club around 11pm, cover was $10 per person. The security at the door was impressive as the security personnel checked our IDs and had metal detector. Upon entering, we saw the club had free for guests to celebrate their 47th anniversary. The club had two floors. Both floor had bars and separate DJs jamming. First floor was more for hangout and gossip. Second floor had the larger dance floor where most people were partying. The DJ on second floor had some really good bits, but at times some dull ones too. There was also security personnel on second floor as well. They also got an outdoor backyard like place with benches and shacks for guests to hangout. Here they also placed a bar for guests to hangout and have drinks. Overall we had a wonderful hour and a half here. We had drinks, lots of dance groves and finally some nice chit chat in the outdoor space. Now that we had the experience, we will come to Feathers more often than going all the way to the city for clubbing.

The space is pretty lively and would be a great place to watch a sports event. Appreciate that the space has different types of seating areas from traditional dining tables to a big bar area and a lounge area in the middle. It can get loud in there so I wouldn't go there if you're looking for an intimate vibe. The staff is pretty friendly and do a good job of attending to the patrons. The food is where it was a bit disappointing to me. I can appreciate the wide variety of items on the menu, but not when the quality varies so much. We ordered a few pasta dishes (one that was on the daily special), a few taco dishes, an order of wings and the brussel sprouts. All of the pasta dishes were huge disappoints. They looked like pasta dishes from Applebees. The sauces were very runny and the kids pastas were the most basic pastas that were way overpriced for what they were. My daughter who loves pastas only ate about 1/3 of it and told me she didn't like it. The wings were dry and not saucy enough. The tacos were OK. The brussel sprouts were the only standout dish that we ordered. I liked their extensive draft beer menu though. Lots of variety to choose from and the drinks were fresh. Overall, I'd certainly come back here and hope that I pick some better food choices or a big improvement on the food quality, but a fun place to hang out at.
