  • 5/5 Wendy B. 5 years ago on Google • 97 reviews
    Love the food especially the new menu the son and staff came up with. The daily specials are awesome. Family friendly Atmosphere. Live music every night after 8 PM car shows on Tuesday senior meals on Wednesday and everything on the senior menu is $10 a plate and that’s with soup and salad. Things of change for the better since the sun started helping the Mom being the father is ill so keep Mr. Garvey in prayer

    Garvey's is one of those fantastic dining locations off the beaten trail in Monroe Twp., NJ. Located at 405 Spotswood Gravel Hill Rd. on a 30 acre farm is this local favorite that serves up delicious dishes of seafood, steaks, chicken & more! Besides being a legendary eatery Garvey's also hosts a large bar where families and corporations have celebrated those special moments of joy. Tuesday nights Garvey's is the place to be if you're into car & truck cruises nights, hosting the event every Tuesday April through October. Whether at the bar or sitting fire side you will love the Garvey's Family experience.

    We walked in and were greeted by a man in a mismatched suit who said after a long pause 'whatre you up to?' Then gave us an unrequested tour when we got our menus. 5/5 would take tour of the band wall again. Food was good service was good. Didn't know what a grinder was.

    Was there 4/9/22. Bartender was working alone. Couldn't keep up. Owner was drunk watching Bartender fall way behind. Couldn't get a drink. Food came out after waiting 1 hour. Didn't have anyone cleaning tables. My burger was terrible. Never will go back.

    Dead as a doornail I went to see my brother play there and the family and friends were the only people in the place the building is huge and it is a very nice looking building but there were no people there whatsoever the band was good they are called cinnamon shine if you ever see them out there come hear them play you'll enjoy oh and PS they stiffed my brother at the end of the night with the payment way to go Garvey not the band's fault that you can't get people at your place

    The waitress brought only the senior special menu instead of the full menu. The soup was fair, the salad was fair and my entree (open roast beef sandwich) was returned it was so salty I couldn't eat it. Waitress was very nice and brought another entree. The dessert was excellent. Service was good. I will not go back. Great price for a 4 course senior meal unfortunately food was not great.

    great place to hang and have a drink ONLY. do not let these people make your food ! the cook is HORRIBLE! order was incomplete (waitress was friendly but very forgetful) and covid policies are not being followed: none of the emoloyees had masks on we walked in, tables still had all the condiments on them (meaning no sanitation being done) again this place is only good for a drink

    Don’t go here if you have melanin in ur skin. The bartenders are old, slow and racist. The bands are dope but I’m very disappointed to see people that are still this way in 2022.

    Garvey’s has been a landmark of Monroe, NJ for many decades. A family run business that is inviting and admired by many. They continue to have live entertainment,7 car shows and karaoke. Some of the best bands in the world have visited and played at Garveys. You don’t believe me? You can get a cold drink or two and see all of the memorabilia showing the bands and musicians who have played here.

    First time to visit here. For St Patrick day menu, $19 for a small corn beef sandwich and small corn soup in a form cup. Taste terrible. Will not come back.

    I don't know how they stay in business. Very strange place. And the food is questionable.

    Went to see an Elvis Impersonator tonight which was fantastic. The food and drink service was horrible and the owner didn’t seem to care. They said they were short staffed because 2 people called out. I don’t blame the waitress as she was the only one for a room of about 100 plus people she had to do everything including taking care of the bar. The owners should be ashamed themselves for letting that happen. Waited over 1hour for food and drinks.

    The owner was rude and obnoxious. The waitress was not very pleasant and slow getting to our table to take our orders. The place was practically empty and now we know why. Beware!!!
