😠 I would have given no stars at all , if that was an option. Reading all the reviews we ordered today for the time. It was the worst experience ever. Ordered 2 quesadillas , one of them was burst. Ordered nachos, which came without cheese. And the menu lists Chili bowl rice, and there was no rice. Fo... People often mention wings, good,

    I would have given no stars at all , if that was an option. Reading all the reviews we ordered today for the time. It was the worst experience ever. Ordered 2 quesadillas , one of them was burst. Ordered nachos, which came without cheese. And the menu lists Chili bowl rice, and there was no rice. For which we were told it doesn't come with rice, then why even add it on the menu. Just say chili. Called them to complain about the order and could here the managers callous attitude in the background. Would never order from here again. Be careful.

    Updated... August 2021 Cold Beer on Tap and the WINGS ARE as good as the cook that day !!!! Went a get different times.. 1st time was great.. 2-4th time.. NOT SO GREAT !! over cooked !! If THE wrong person is in the kitchen then there goes the quality.. However they do have a nice variety of flavorable seasonings.. Establishment.. Bar area and floors could use a good scrubbing... appearance and cleanliness are important !!

    Reasonably priced food and drinks. Clean. Not sure about distancing of tables. Hubby enjoyed his birthday wings and the fries are plentiful, tasty and crispy. I would have preferred the water to be served in glass instead of plastic cups. FYI The website kitchen hours were incorrect on 1/4/21. The kitchen opens at noon.

    It's a hole-in-the-wall dive bar with amazing food and friendly staff. Cash-only, but the wings here will make the trip to the ATM worth it (they also have an ATM inside). No fancy cocktails here, just a lot of TVs lining the walls, a jukebox, and the best wings in central Jersey. Only downside is that the bar staff can get overwhelmed with how many people are inside and ordering (it's usually crowded but not claustrophobically so), so be prepared to wait if it's busy.

    Might have good wings but I'll never know because their kitchen was 'being renovated' till we were walking out and were told they could 'fry something.' Was cash only and had to pay like 6 dollars in fees to use their ATM to buy $5 worth of garbage beer. It's a total local dive bar and one needs to know that.

    The owner Chuck is very friendly and makes everyone feel so welcomed. The staff is all very nice. Good drinks, great food, music is on point, clean, cool deco. What else can you ask for.

    Yes the wings are really that good. Crunchy as great Korean wings... I get the sauce on the side to keep them crunchy. Great prices for the drinks and the rest of the menu too. Good old school place I've been coming here on and off since 1972 or so. The ladies behind the bars may have tattoos now, and some of the customers are buried in their phones, but other than a few superficial changes like that it's nice to see some of the good things don't change. When I used to come here with buddies we'd keep the shuffleboard tables busy. They don't seem quite as busy these days at least when I was there...

    Bartenders are cool. Best wings in NJ!!! Its old and dirty though. Your typical dive dar. The people that visit are usually really nice too. I love coming here. I took off one star for it being old and the bathroom being run down.

    This bar is fantastic. Cold beer, killer crispy wings with great sauces and dry rubs, and friendly bartenders. A really awesome neighborhood place that is starting to become rare. Seriously, go for the wings. They're without equal.

    Wings are HUGE...well done is the way to go!!

  • 5/5 David S. 4 years ago on Google • 11 reviews
    It's your dive bar's favorite dive bar. But that said, the wings are top notch. An order of 10 is enough, they are bigger wings. Medium buffalo wings had good flavor and a kick. Garlic parm is a well thought out sauce, not just crushed garlic and some random cheese bits. 9/10!
