    Went there for the first time in a very, very long time. They are trying to change over fron JDs to Crawfords corner. It is the average corner bar (there aren't many left) they are a work in progress, The Bartender (3 ladies, whille I was there) are all on the "top of their games". The bar is old and needs updating, but clean, the restrooms are small and need updating, but clean. It is your average corner bar with above average servers. The food is OK, the people in the kitchen need to learn how to make it "look" better, but it is decent. The juke box (touch tunes) is loud enough to hear, which isn't that common. Plenty of TVs visible from wherever you sit. Prices are very good, beer is cold, AC is cold. Bar stools are comfortable. Remember this is a small town corner bar, it is what it is, and this is a good one...

    I got 2 small cheesesteaks, one with wiz and one with Cooper because that was their special that day. The cheesesteaks were very light on the meat. I tried my friend's large cheesesteak, The JD, which is half chicken and half beef and it had twice as much meat as both of my cheesesteaks put together. The wings were really good. The fries were good. I was told that the double cheeseburger, which was their version of a Big Mac, was good. The service was good and friendly. It's not very big but it's a nice local dive and more room to sit outside once the weather is warm enough. I'd recommend hitting the place up if you are ever in the area but don't get the Monday small cheesesteak special 😉👍

    The food is pretty good. The atmosphere has a lot to be desired. The service is lackluster. Overall, food and drinks are overpriced for the quality and location of this joint. UPDATE: Gave this place another try and nothing has changed despite the owner saying they take "feedback" seriously. 5 people at the bar, drinking. I believe 2 or 3 work there. (The dark hair girl def. works there. She always has an attitude, working or not). The bartenders on this visit were friendly, but seemed to care more about their co-workers drinking and having a good time then actually making themselves and the place money. Not offered food, a menu, no mention of late night happy hour. Almost $9 for a light on liquor drink is ridiculous for Riverside. Sorry, I doubt I'll be back. Good luck!

    Great for a beer and some bar food. Nachos are awesome. Good buffalo chicken. Would recommend. Small place so get there early as there's less than 10 tables but big bar to sit at.

    Biggest nuisance bar around. Ignorant drunks that park in front of residents homes when there is a big empty public lot right across the street. Then they leave their cars there for days. Time to start filing nuisance complaints and get them shut down

    Good prices, great food, fun atmosphere. It's not an exaggeration to say Crawford's is half the reason I moved to Riverside!

    I love thisss barrr….. haha. This is a great place to go when you want to eat and have fun, drink and sing karaoke. A lot of the times the current owners are there singing too, like they’re a part of the crowd. My home away from home, my Cheers,for 13 years now

    Sorry it’s just a riverside thing with the location… behind the Madison… and law enforcement so local and spot checks of the surrounding when leaving… yes everyone has to be responsible… it should be a very enjoyable atmosphere that’s all ..enjoy

    First time here and the food and staff were both outstanding. Seeing how we're somewhat in the neighborhood, we will be back. 10/10 highly recommend.

    I love a place that has the confidence to serve food on paper plates. Peak efficiency. Their only concern is that their patrons are having a good time.

    A neighborhood bar, but very welcoming. Very friendly servers. The beer is fresh and the lines are clean. The kielbasa sandwich was top-notch with Philadelphia kielbasa and an Aversa bun. My wife loved her chicken cheese steak. Spotlessly clean bathrooms. It is what it is but it does it right

    Two guys arguing about the NFL. Neither of them know what they are talking about. One of them is vaping. Constant profanity. Matt the bartender was great!

    I’m heading there later today for my second visit. It’s the friendliest place in town and everyone makes you feel welcome. Looking forward to Taco Tuesday and a delicious Crush!

    “What a transformation! The bar has undergone a remarkable change from what it used to be to what it is now – a vibrant and happening spot that’s become the ultimate place to be. The improvement is incredible, and the food is now as amazing as the atmosphere. Highly recommended!”

    not a bad bar for Riverside New Jersey I was actually surprised to see how well-kept it was. I was there for a friend's birthday party the barmaid was very polite try to take care of everyone as soon as possible but a little busy for one person not her fault but more tips for her she did great I believe her name was Michelle. Nice little place to go and have a drink with a buddy where significant other. I would definitely go back again.

    Best place to relax and have a great time friendly staff and good company. Unfortunately this place just recently sold so I expect some changes. Hope they're all good

    Team Stephanie !!!! Love her my favorite bartender everr! She’s always a good time and fun to have a drink with. Love when she is on every other Friday. Will be sad once she is no longer in there.

    One night my wife and I were stuck on what to get for dinner. Coincidently, she saw an advert for Crawfords on Facebook for one of their sponsored food truck events. So we decided to give them a shot. To my surprise, when I parked up, I realized it used to be the old JD Sports bar(used to buy blood worms for fishing there years ago). Upon walking in, I instantly noticed they really spruced and brightened the place up from what it used to be. Bartenders were very friendly and even though I had a little bit of a wait, I didn't mind because I don't mind catching a buzz 😂😂. Atmosphere seemed normal for a standard bar, actually better than most in the area. I see alot of average or lower scores for atmosphere but not really sure what people are looking for, if you want fancy then go to Carluccis or O' Conners lol. Took the food home and only one word can explain.......BANGIN. The wife got the chicken parm sandwich and said it was the best she's had around burlington county in a long time. I got the Big Mic and suffered from 3 foodgasms in the process. Wings were perfect to our liking, slight crunch but still saucy and for $11 we also got the cheesesteak egg rolls(literally 3 hot pocket, yes I said it, hot pocket sized egg rolls) which is a bang for the buck but also SMACKIN. Very good portion for the price compared to other establishments and again the food is BANGIN. Just went there again tonight, ordering other items(as well as them wings 🤤🤤) and again they did not disappoint. If they keep up the good service and incredibly BANGIN SLAMMIN SCHLAMMA LAMMA DING DONGIN good food, will definetly be a mainstay in my household. Keep up the good work guys
