Get the wings! They have a scale of hotness, I went for the 3rd hottest (Jamaican Jerk) and I devoured them, sweat on my forehead, pulse racing. If I'm coming back to NJ in this area, I will be eating wings here! Otherwise good beer selection drafts/cans/bottles. Friendly staff, TVs with sports on all the time. I wouldn't call it a dive bar, I'd call or a good local bar (that's meant positively!)

Food was excellent! It is a bar atmosphere so it can be loud. Small dining room so there is often a wait but oh my the food was good! I had a pork chop special. Tender and juicy served with real & delicious mashed potatoes and spinach. We had the chicken nachos as an app, I cannot recommend them enough. I think they were the best I have ever had!

I believe I have found a nice hidden gem. Stopped at this place for a quick bite to eat and I was not disappointed. The menu had a wide range of options, the staff were very friendly and the food was amazing! The portion sizes are really good, and I can't wait for my next visit. The atmosphere was really good too, seems like a nice spot to hang out.
