My wife and I use to love this place, especially for their Tapas and Happy Hour menu. Sadly the place has been on a steady decline downward, especially in the service department. The last (and probably final) time we visited we waited for a hostess to seat us for over 10 minutes with no one ahead of us. After getting seated we waited 15 minutes for someone to drop off some menus o no avail so we got up and left. During this time the table next to us said they were waiting for over 20 minutes to pay their check and were extremely frustrated.

The menu special on Wednesdays is a $10 Loaded Burger, so we decided to drop by BJ's for lunch. The wait staff has a good memory and recognized some in our group, which makes you feel welcome. The table collectively ordered four Loaded Burgers, two classic brisket burgers, and one each of the new menu offerings, a Bistro burger ("beef patty with applewood-smoked bacon, goat cheese crumbles, caramelized onions, tomatoes, spinach, pickled red onions and roasted garlic aioli on a toasted parker house bun") and a Mushroom Swiss Burger (beef patty with sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, red onions, lettuce, tomatoes and roasted garlic aioli on a parker house bun). Everyone seemed to like their burgers. Although presentation was good and it was tasty, I did have one complaint: when I first picked my burger up getting ready to take a big, a very large amount of grease drained out of it and made a pool on my plate. I suppose some of it could have been from the Swiss cheese, but certainly not all of it. I'm not sure how they are cooking them, but it was a big turnoff.Burgers are served with a generous portion of fries (I learned yesterday you get free refills), which were crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and perfectly seasoned. I can't imagine getting a refill. Service was fairly good and reasonable quick and at $10, the Loaded Burger is a good value. I think next time I'll try the Bistro version.

Visited Zinburger at the recommendation of a friend. I tried the basic hamburger which was average in taste, which was difficult to eat with its size and condiments falling off the bun. The sweet potato fries were very good. the restaurant has the atmosphere of a bar with sports displayed on LED screens throughout the restaurant and a sitting bar counter in the middle.

I visited that place on a Friday night. There was a 25-minute wait. I ordered a margarita that was really good and great portion (4 glasses in the shaker). However, the food was disappointingly lukewarm. I had the Smokehouse plate (half rack rib, chicken breast, Italian sausage, French fries, corn cob). ALL items were almost cold except the corn cob. There was no reason why my food was lukewarm, since the restaurant was completely full, other than it was long-time prepared in advance and not kept at a good temperature.The service was not great either, as the server really looked "sad". I don't think he was having a bad day.Not sure I would return.

Great bar, great bar food! My party was 4 people, one had an awesome burger, one had a burger with bbq on it, fabulous, one had a roast beef sandwich, she said it was wonderful, and I had the cheese steak. Now the Cheese Steak was truly something I was so sorry to finish...it was the BEST!!! Now if you are thinking of philly cheese steak, not the same, this one is a real nice piece of a whole steak, not shredded, but when you bite into it, it is like butter...no ripping or tearing it. Just an amazing taste of something SOOOOO tender, covered in cheese and I added mushrooms, which made it perfect. The fries were tasty, and what made them even more tasty was I asked for a side of gravy. The gravy was delicious! We ended with a giant piece of the most decadent chocolate cake...lovely! Can't wait to go back ASAP!!! Friendly waitresses and quick service too. I'm not a beer drinker, but my buddies all enjoyed the extensive selection of beers they have on tap. This is really a great spot, can't believe haven't been before!

Took me 56 years to get to Steve's...no joke...but I finally made it! It was worth the wait...and I won't wait as long next time. Perfectly cooked to order NY strip with very, very little fat and grizzle. Near perfection actually. My biggest issue was the mushrooms that were supposed to come with the steak and steak fries. My sister and I had both had three tiny mushrooms accompany our dinner. Why even bother?! Oh, I highly recommend the horseradish dijon salad dressing, too. Has a nice little kick to it. I reserved some thinking it would go great with the steak but that disappointed.

I have been to The New Park Tavern three times now. The first was sort of a last minute decision as my regular watering hole had a power failure and the kitchen was closed. The last two tomes because I really like the food and atmosphere. A large round bar with 35-40 bar stools in the center with another 15 or so high top tables in the front area and a large low table seating are in the back room make for a larger place than I am used to. The menu is extensive, I have had the wings, a Calzone and the Genaro steak hoagie and they were all exceptionally good. The one concern on food was the buffalo chicken tenders, mushy with a ton of vinegar (READ CHEAP HEAT) and a small portion equals an unhappy experience. The next day, the wings were terrific, so fix the chicken tenders issue....Very personable staff, knowledgeable and friendly. Quick to offer suggestions and recommendations based on preferences, very helpful.My first couple of trips, I sat at the high tops and got a bill for food and beverages, when I sat at the bar, I had the bartender send a waitress over for the food order and received two bills. As this place has been around since the 1930's, I would think they could get this worked out...All in all, a very good experience with a few points that could be better, but a good enough experience and value that I keep going back.

Stopped by on a Sunday night. They were close to our hotel and highly rated on here. The ambiance is nice, but the music can be a little loud. The pizza was good and the crust was very good. Solid choice close to Metlife stadium!!
