    This Bar and Grill has your typical bar food and also have tex-max items .They have the best nachos I’d had in a very longtime. They have a good selection of beers on tap, bottles and cans offering many options and specials. The owner was very friendly and nice .Of course they do Tuesday tacos for $6 too. Service was attentive and very friendly. Elixir has it's own parking lot and they do offer outside dining.

    Gem!!! Elixir is an eye opener the moment you walk in! The decor is bright and sets the atmosphere. Our server Nicole was beyond excellent in every way. From drinks(check out the margaritas), appetizers(try the street corn or mexican pizza), entrees(shrimp enchiladas, tacos and even the burger) to dessert(fried ice cream and churros)...outstanding!!! I highly recommend and will be back again soon!

    Found a little gem on my way up north. Great customer service and great prices. The atmosphere was a mixed crowd from young and an older crowd. The place had many activities for their customers. The people in general (customers and workers) are very welcoming and friendly. There’s parking in the back and street parking is not so bad in the area.

    Me and some friends came to drink and play pool. First time in Edison. We get to the pool table and the bartender comes from behind the bar and says that either we order a drink or get out. We just got there and trying to settle in and she came off pretty rude. My friend buys a drink. She killed the mood so I didn’t want to buy one after that. We finish one game and now this man who works there comes up and says he was told to tell us to leave after that game. It was clear the bartender told him to tell us to leave. We left and plan to never go back to that place.

    The servers were so nice and friendly, and the cashier had the most beautiful eyes and a nice handsome man. I would give them 5 ⭐ but they gave me the wrong order. I ordered a veggie chimichaga, the server even described what was in it, he even said there were extra veggies in the container but it was beans and rice instead. It was raining really bad that day, I live SB so it was a 45 min drive, I threw my receipt out so I didn't have proof.🤦🏾‍♀️ I was hungry and ate what look like enchiladas. The enchiladas were really good, I give them credit for that. I think I'll check my food next time because I'm curious to taste the chimichaga I wanted.

    So we were driving around and had the late night munchies.. we stumbled across this place and didn't regret it one bit. It was late and close to closing, but the staff made us feel welcomed and well attended to. This place is a sleeper.. Good food fun atmosphere. Please try them out..

    Another gem locally for wings and much more! The wings are the star here. Spicey garlic,hot honey or teriyaki are my favorite.. Burgers are excellent also. Tex mex food otherwise thats very good if you are looking for that. Definitely a spot to at least try.. Manny the owner is 100% dedicated to customer satisfaction!

    Stopped in with the family to get some dinner. We left satisfied and happy with our food and experience. Look forward going back. We need to keep places like this alive. Wasn't there for it this time, but bar scene is cool, will have to come back with the fellas to catch a game and some drinks..

    Elixir Bar & Grill advertise through a local mail company. So we read their ad and saw some interesting menu items. This Bar and Grill has your typical bar food but, have tex-max items. We went there during the lunch period. Not to many were still there and lot was almost empty. So we had choice of all prime spots. The bartender was also the host and waiter. A good selection of beers on tap, bottles and cans offering many options and specials. Their menu indicated homemade empanadas and the best wings in town. Well, how can you not bite on that. No pun intended. We elected to try the beef and cheese as well as the chicken and cheese. The order had three empanadas and it came with chimichurri dipping sauce. The empanadas were oily. The taste reflected that taste in the crust. Filling was average but, having tasted authentic empanadas their's failed. As for the wings, I elected the 12 piece wing Sampler, which included both boneless and bone wings. The wings were not moist but, very dried. It was disappointing and I like wings with my beer. I couldn't finish them. The lunch special, chicken enchiladas were tasty and saved the day. Service was attentive and friendly. Elixir has it's own parking lot and they do offer outside dining.

    Great place for a quick bite and drink. Friend and I went for dinner and only spent $76 with a 20% tip. Not bad for drinks, dinner, and dessert.

    This place was absolutely fantastic. It's a blink in a blink and you'll miss it location. However, everyone was friendly and professional from security, to the bar and kitchen staff. Good music and great food. Even the pool table to clean.

  • 5/5 Baskaran V. 1 year ago on Google
    Looks small place but decent amount of seats and their food is awesome! I go many bars around Edison, this is one of the best place for decent drinks and BEST wings and few other items. People are nice too.

    This used to be the place to go but you can tell they have been cutting corners lately. Quality of food has gone down as well as portions. On 2 different occasions Premium liquor tasted “off”. This is while prices have been rising. This is now a skip for me.

  • 4/5 Robert B. 5 months ago on Google
    The Wings are really good. Best In Edison I think I can agree with that. They got me ready to go back and try out other menu items. Server was very sweet and informative.

  • 5/5 Edward P. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent food! Had the carne asada last time and it was cooked just right to my liking. Previous week, I had the spicy garlic chicken and they were surely a fire of delight as well. Wide selection of beer on tap. And there's even a pool table. Service is outstanding and friendly as well as other guests. Definitely worth the visit even if not in the area.

  • 5/5 Jonathan P. 4 months ago on Google
    Move recently to the area, and Elixir is right around the corner from my apartment. I have to say the service, food and ambiance is excellent. Every time I go I try something different from the menu and it's delicious

  • 5/5 Neelam c. 2 years ago on Google
    It was way above the expectations... There was live music, lovely ambience, lovely food and staff, reasonable price. The space during winter seems bit tight but was fine on the weekend we went. Will go there agian

  • 4/5 Idy R. 11 months ago on Google
    One of my favorite places to go. The only thing I would suggest is getting a better recipe for your guac and carnitas meat for the tacos. It needs work. Everything else is great!! Atmosphere is always on point! Great Service!

  • 3/5 J K. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is okay. We went for the wings because the sign outside said award winning wings, unfortunately they didn't live up to our expectations. Drinks weren't that great. Tacos were okay. We were recommended corn on the cob, I would say that was the best thing.

    Very disappointing experience at this bar due to the bad and poor service. The customer service was lacking, and the staff's behavior, especially the bartenders, was consistently rude from the moment I entered. Despite choosing this place based on positive Google reviews, I left feeling greatly disappointed…

    Great place to be hangout. Decent food and drinks. My first time there, and really enjoyed their food. Drinks are strong and slight lesser in their sweetness, which I like. And good collection of local beers.

    Friends and I converged here from opposite ends of NJ, and LOVED it. So sorry it's not closer because we would be here constantly! The decor is bright and FUN, the staff is all wonderful, and the food and drinks exceptional.

  • 5/5 Daniel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Best nachos I’ve had in a very long time. Definitely make a stop on over for happy hour , 3-6. $3 domestic pints , $7 for mind blowing nachos and this joint has some great ambience. 5/5 , 10/10 , 100% damn good time.

    Omg, I found this hidden gem last night on my way home. I had the trio fajita bowl (chicken,shrimp & streak) and it was amazing. My children had the chicken soft shell taco and loved it (both are picky eaters) for desert, the waitress recommended the fried ice-cream platter...I was in LOVE! Best dessert ever and I'm usually not a sweets eater. You definitely won't be disappointed..service was good. Staff was attentative ..I wasn't sure who our waiter or waitress was since everyone was sooo helpful.. will be back for sure... 10stars from us!

  • 5/5 Gene F. 2 years ago on Google
    My kids and us love going here. It’s usually hard to find food that our kids enjoy. This is probably their favorite. The owner and staff are so nice, too. Good big portions and very reasonable prices.

  • 3/5 kyle 2 years ago on Google
    The service and atmosphere were really nice but the food was really average. The burrito i got was solid, but our jalapeño poppers were really suspect. They were warm on the outside and when I bit into mine it was really cold inside and had a slight water taste. This isnanstrong indication that it was froze and most likely microwaved. Chips were also a bit stale but I did not mind it, tbh. Stale enough to notice but not bad enough to ruin it. I had no issue with the chicken parm poppers but they looked like they were re-purposed as the had a slight orange tint and made me suspect they too were froze, covered in marinara sauce cheese on top of them and to microwaved. Overall, it was an okay experience.

  • 5/5 Jennifer A. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic service and fantastic food. Our plans for a family celebration were changed and we ended up celebrating with friends in the area of Elixir. We called in a take out order. Staff couldn't have been friendlier or more accommodating to some dietary needs. Pick up was a breeze, again with friendly staff. ...and the food was fantastic!! Great menu...something for everyone!!
