So I went here for thr first time for dinner on Saturday night and enjoyed it.Since it was my first time there I felt a bit like a fish out of water as this place feels like a mix of bar and fast food. When we walked in I thought you had to wait to be seated but you can sit where you want. You can get a menu at your table but you order at food at the bar. Also, since I ordered soda you get that yourself at the fountain or a can/bottle in the fridge. You can also pay before you eat or after your done.All the staff were helpful when explaining who the place works. They were all nice as well and that was a plus.I had a Philly Cheesesteak with fries and the sandwich was huge. Great portion size there. The fries were ok. Date had a half size ribs with a baked potato and she really liked it. My friend had a burger and that did look a bit ordinary and he said it was ok.You have to get used to how they do things, but overall for the price and what we got I'd recommend it.

Food was good! Nice atmosphere. A lot of food for the price. 1/2 rack side of fries, coleslaw and garlic bread was enough to leave me feeling well fed.

What a disappointment, haven't had wings from here in years but always remember them being very good my 6 bbq wings bone in and 6 boneless bbq wings both renditions were horrible looked and tasted as if they were made hours ago tried a bite of each style spit it out and threw everything in the garbage the only thing that was edible was the little itsy bitsy celery sticks .

The atmosphere is quite pleasant, good American music, the food tastes good, especially the Baby Rack BBQ. The attention is acceptable, the waiting time for the order is good. The small toy train that runs inside the Restaurant gives it an authentic touch.

Today was my first time there, great atmosphere. Went with a ton of kids and everyone there is so kind, and helpful with ordering your meal/drinks. Very neat place to chill with friends and family. Will be back!

The people answering phones need to check their attitude, bad for business, rude & inconsiderate. You are there to take orders, not to be rude to your customers :) who ever I was on the phone with should get fired

There is no better place in the tri-state area where you can support a family owned business, with great service, great food and a welcoming atmosphere, with a bar attached to it for a reasonable cost.Whether you want to enjoy a good meal with the family, a work lunch with free wifi, a sports game or a happy hour with strangers, this place has something for everyone. From darts, to quick draw lottery they have it.It’s the Cheers of Nutley NJ. One of the few places left where the bartenders will actually but you a drink back. (Bar side called the Mudhole). Staff is top notch, there’s always great music playing and they always accommodate your needs.There’s nothing super fancy about it so if your personality is bougie, not the place for you. 2 items I would recommend are the boneless wings, which are UNMATCHED on the East Coast, if not the country and the pulled pork. Not a rib guy but that’s their specialty. Do yourself a favor and stop in.
