    i have been here 4 times. I get the burger every time. Its cheap and good food. The french fries are worth getting the platter. Staff is friendly, never a problem until now. 1st time doing take out and I was charged $2.00 for me to come in and pick it up. How else am I supposed to get it? You should be deducting $2.00 if anything for doing take out. Does that go to the server for a tip? Why is there no mention when ordering. Who in their right mind charges $1.00 for each food order. Minus 2 stars for each $1 take out. I will never be returning.

    Up until today, I would have given a much higher rating and a positive review. We come here a couple of times a month for decent food and friendly service. In fact, we were at Jiggs earlier in the week and had a great experience. I’m not sure what happened tonight but COMPLETELY unprovoked, the bartender (first initial G) was rude and unprofessional. She took my drink away before I was done and when I said I wasn’t finished yet, slammed it down, ignored us the rest of our stay and instead of asking if we needed anything else (SO wanted another beer) slapped the check down and walked away. We left dumbfounded. Sorry Jiggs, won’t be coming back after that poor performance.

    A nice Sunday afternoon hang off NJ 23, saw some really good music with decent bar food, the place was packed, parking lot was full almost couldn’t get a spot, enjoyed the music. They had a lot of people sitting in with the band, it was not listed as a jam, not to far from some good shopping stores so it might be a good break place from Christmas shopping

    Stopped in for lunch and had a great pastrami corned beef sandwich and fries. Nice simple menu. Very clean and covid protocols in place. Support local business

    Been coming here for years. Moved away but stopped in while visiting friends and it’s still awesome. Good food and good beer selection and live music. Jeff Beer is a stellar bartender and a gem of a human. Some of the best wings in the state for sure and good prices as well.

    I don’t hold the waitress at fault at all she was great and the only one working, but come on do better especially nowadays no one wants to drink from a dirty glass someone else’s lips were on. You have to admit that’s really disgusting.

    Place is really going downhill. They no longer have bands. Half the time the hours are all over the place. They do have great wings, and other food. My reasoning for 2 stars is not only the lack of music and the hours, but tonight I wanted wings. I called ahead to order twice. No one answered the phone. I got there, figured I’ll order and have a drink while I wait. I sat at the bar for close to 10 minutes and neither bardtender bothered to come over to me. It wasn’t crazy busy either so that was just unacceptable. I got up and walked out, and probably will not come back. That just costed the business 3 regulars as now none of my household members will return.

    I’ve lived here for years now and my only regret is not coming here sooner! I pass it everyday and finally was able to make my way in tonight. The food was amazing, The service was great and definitely will now be my favorite spot to go.

    Their pastrami sandwich was consistently good. We’ll that changed- it was HORRIBLE!!! Greasy, fatty and all little broken pieces. It also tasted sour. The bread was gross. Not liked it used to be!

    Food here is outstanding and very reasonable. One of the best reubens I've ever had. BUT it's very disappointing that Jiggs MUSIC Saloon no longer has... music.

  • 5/5 Manuel V. 10 months ago on Google
    Went there a few times to check the place out. Great food at good prices. Nice bar to get cold brews and wings. They have live music too which is awesome. Awesome meet up spot to have a few and relax. Staff is great too. Quick and attentive

    Great local place for food, drinks and fun. This was our first time but not our last. Great service too!

    I didn't want to review this place, because when I find places I truly really like, I want to keep it a secret. That's not fair to the business though, so I will reluctantly give praise in hopes that the bar won't be full the next time I stop in. I've passed Jigg's practically once a week for the last 14 years that I lived in the area. I never planned a trip to to go there, but always noticed it driving up 23. Tonight I made it my mission to stop in and check it out. I read many reviews praising the wings so I gave it a go. Fantastic. I went with the hot sauce, pretty much the normal amount of heat. Next trip I might try "Suicide" that should be fun!!! The staff was friendly, the music was cool. Everything from John Denver to Alice in Chains. Rooster played, and I felt right at home. Part of my apprehension about coming in is that they are known for loud music. I play in a band, and when I go out to eat, I want peace, not loud snare drums blowing out my ears. I was pleased to see that live music has ended there, and will no longer be a feature. Finally, a nice spot that isn't a chain restaurant. I'll probably stop in next Saturday and try a burger or something, if I talk myself out of the suicide wings. I can't believe in 14 years I've just kept passing this place by. A+ in my book. UPDATE: I wanted to get there the next weekend to try the suicide wings, but ended up getting them tonight. AWESOME. The heat was above most chain restaurants, but not intolerable. The consistency of the sauce is like tomato sauce, rather than liquid squirts that you would get anywhere else. After I finished up, the friendly bar tender with the beard (I wish I knew his name, he was a very nice guy) recommended the garlic suicide wings, so I will give it a go next time (in the next 2 weeks). Music was cool, I wasn't drunk, but I can't particularly remember what was playing. It was cool enough that I shazamed a couple of songs while hanging out. Looking forward to my next visit!!

    Their foods pretty good for a bar. They have TVs no volume. The biggest thing is very dark inside. Still by far probably in the wings in the area!!!

    Wings are great, lemon chicken is great. Steak sandwich is tough but very tasty.

    Was there twice last week. First I got a cheese steak sandwich which was like eating a grilled cheese sandwich with onions ( the steak was so thin). Then the next time I got a cheese burger. No more Kaiser rolls, the burger was a loot thinner and not as round. I know prices are high but I would rather pay a little more than getting less quality food.

    i used to get really great quesadillas from jiggs all the time tonight MUCH higher price tiny bits of charred.... steak? very little cheese or filling spiced ketchup on the side charged an extra dollar to get take out. Sad and not going there anymore!

  • 5/5 Kerry O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and friendly staff.Been here several times in the past couple of months, always enjoyed the food.I had a double bacon cheeseburger, it was delicious.Have had the rib eye in the past, also excellent. They have plenty of beer too if you like.

  • 5/5 Matt R. 1 year ago on Google
    Consistently great wings, best steak sandwich around, casual neighborhood joint vibe. Nothing fancy but that's the point, I'm there at least once a week and will keep coming back

  • 4/5 Scott D. 1 year ago on Google
    Pre Covid, this place was a home run!!! Post Covid, it's just ok... Prices are pretty good but they started charging $2 for take out.. It's a small thing, but jeeze... Just raise your prices a bit and you'll get that money somewhere else...

  • 1/5 Marcela F. 1 year ago on Google
    A simple hi!! I ll be there with you!!! will change my experience!! My husband walk all the way to the bar to request a table and was totally ignored 😳

  • 4/5 Doretta I. 1 year ago on Google
    Great to pop in for a quick one with friends...went on a wednesday night and was perfect to be able to relax with a few friends at the bar. Bartenders are attentive and friendly. Heard that weekend is very crowded..but i preferred my lowkey Wednesday with girlfriends..also loved my drink...but Im a basic person...tequila, soda and lime...good proportions. If you're looking for fancy stuff..this is not the place for you. But to relax, chit chat with friends, bartenders, other customers..then Jiggs is the place..think "Cheers" vibes...

  • 1/5 Gordon R. 2 years ago on Google
    Server was so rude and made everyone in my party uncomfortable so we left and went up the street. Never going back and everyone I was with is disgusted.

  • 4/5 Crys A. 2 years ago on Google
    Jiggs is a total local staple in the area. Food is always phenomenal. Consistent food every time. The steaks are awesome. Bar pizzas always hit the spot after a few drinks. They make delicious drinks as well as your standard beers and shots. The only downside is that the music can be so loud, deafeningly so, that conversation really can't be had. Parking is good unless it's super busy. Then it can be pretty rough to get a spot. But other than that, good food, good vibes, and good prices.
