We were greeted with a hearty hello and a warm smile from our waitress, Samantha. Samantha was very attentive and patient while we wrestled with our order as everything sounded good. My friend ordered the filet mignon sandwich, without cheese, however he got the cheese - not that he doesn't like cheese he just didn't want it - he still really enjoyed his sandwich. Meanwhile his wife and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. While all the sandwiches came with a side of french fries, the pulled pork came with a good and very tasty portion of cole slaw - something I rarely eat - which made the pulled pork taste even better as it added a little crunch to the sandwich, We also ordered a side of their macaroni & cheese, which was creamy and delicious. I am looking forward to visiting this place again and try something else, especially their nachos which looked very appetizing.

Party of four, luckily found an empty parking spot here (3/23). Seated right away overlooking the Rhine River. All was well with great service. Giant pretzel and pieroghies for an app, and more pieroghies, schnitzel, noodles, brautwurst and kraut for dinner. This is one great restaurant.

We love it here. The food is always amazing. Itâs very kid friendly. All the waitresses are nice and helpful. When I was pregnant they made me mocktails and now with a toddler they offer him coloring and always engage him. Itâs definitely our favorite place to go for brunch/lunch or dinner.

Friends chose this restaurant for lunch. I don't normally eat at chain restaurants, and this Applebee's reminded me why. We waited and waited for a server; we waited and waited for our food; we waited and waited for our bill - at 2:30 in the afternoon when there were few patrons besides ourselves.The waitstaff looked tired and uninterested, greetings were perfunctory at best.Our table had been wiped but was not entirely clean.My tomato soup was barely warm with gummy texture, my BLT sandwich was sloppily put together with greasy toast, inedible tomato, decent bacon, and cold yellow cheese not melted at all. The best thing I had was the ice water with lemon wedge, seriously.My companions had the same dishes as I, as well as a chicken salad that was pronounced "good".I will refuse any future invitations to this restaurant.

Lived in Burlington for a while and didn't know this place existed until recently. Food is outstanding. Plain pizza and the white with broccoli are so good. Also got a chocolate, peanut butter & caramel ice cream ball for dessert. So good! There was live music on Friday evening, really nice.

This pub has it all. A very clean relaxing atmosphere, fresh cooked meals and a large selection of brewed and distilled spirits.Great sandwiches and entrees. Homemade soups and stews. A very friendly family oriented pub.

Having spent a long vacation traveling, we wanted to go someplace to relax, talk, listen to some music, great food and drinks. The Wife suggested Doc's Pub Irish Sports Bar. We drove to the pub the parking lot looked full. Suddenly this man (later found out he works there) is pointing to park in a place I did not see. This space was right by the door, good sign. Walked in and this was an Irish Pub with updates (TVs, pool table) of a sports bar. We were welcomed by a young lady with a smile, pleasant presentation (Beth) who became our server and bar tender. Beth took our drink order and drinks were in front of us no time. Beth had a great knowledge of the Menu and answered all our questions. The wife and daughter order Irish Nachos (have never heard Irish Nachos ) with corned beef on the side. I order a (non Irish) chicken cheese steak. I wanted fried onions and was open to suggestions of what kind of cheese, Beth suggested provolone. Our food order given and drinks in front of us, we started to listen to the Band. These three guys (Belfast Connection) were great , not to loud, not to soft, great choice of Irish songs, brining the customers in with clapping, singing along and great presentation. The wife's order came first, I must admit it looked good. Both the wife and daughter started eating . I heard nothing but good things about the food presentation, taste, and corn beef on the side was a great addition. My chicken cheese stake arrived and was in the middle of singing (of course off key) so casually reached over and took a bite. Now my taste buds gave me notice to stop singing and go back for another bite. This was one the best chicken cheese steaks I have had in a long time. Beth came over to check on how our food order and I proclaimed how much we enjoyed our food. Beth said she will tell the cook and had the pleasure to meet him and tell him how I enjoy his cooking. I did reach over (at my own risk) to steal some of Irish Nachos. I now know why the ladies were so happy.All in all this night out was a total pleasure. I tip my hat to the owner, and the staff oh how to make a great evening. The wife stated this Pub is our new Irish place to go. Great Job
3. Geraghty's Pub & Restaurant

It's kind of hard to describe Geraghty's because it's really a matter of your perception. We like it, but we never know what to expect, and that's not everyone's cup of tea.For example, it's kind of dark in there. One could find that cozy or simply find it dark. I think it's a good place to have a casual meal with my husband and my adolescent son after work -- nothing fancy, more in the pub-grub category. It's not uncommon to see a group of friends clustered around a table for beer and wings and watching a game, but my parents would probably see it more as a bar than a restaurant.To be honest, I'm not sure my parents would get past the front door. It opens smack-dab onto the bar. Diners must then walk the length of the long row of stools around the island bar to get to the dining area -- and you have to know that there is a dining area in order to find it, which isn't readily apparent from the front door. Some older (or just non-drinking) folks might be put off by that, and some parents are uncomfortable taking their child into a bar. It always makes me think of that Reese Witherspoon movie "Sweet Home Alabama," when she says, upon running into a high school classmate back home, "Look at you . . you have a baby . . . in a bar."There is also no hostess, and it's rare that the bartender greets the guest as they walk in to see if they are looking for a table or just a seat at the bar. I know it felt a little awkward for us on first time there, thinking we were going to a restaurant and seeing nothing but a typical bar until we ventured deeper into the building.While you're up there though, check out the specials boards for seasonal beers and special items, which can be an unexpected treat. There is a side door on Washington Ave, closer to where most people park (street parking is free in that area), and the side door opens directly into the dining room. If I were bringing my parents, for example, I'd take them in that door instead of the front.At most places that we frequent, I have a go-to meal that I always order. Although we've eaten at this place on a regular basis for the last 5 years, I do not have a specific favorite. Why? Because they keep changing out the chefs, which usually results in a menu change. That's fine if you enjoy variety, but not so much if you were counting on your favorite. I've learned that it's best to just go to Geraghty's without any pre-conceived expectations, kind of like that fickle friend that you've had for years, and you like them when you hang out, but you don't know exactly what to expect the next time. The food is generally good, the waitstaff is nice enough, and the prices are reasonable.The best part of Geraghty's (and the one they don't tap into enough, in my opinion) is their nice patio out back. When we've had a chance to eat out there, it totally elevates the meal.Unfortunately, NJ weather doesn't allow this option year-round, and even on beautiful evenings, we've had to go inside by default because there was no service out there. It's kind of a shame that such a wonderful outdoor space is relegated to simply providing a seat for smokers needing a fix when it could be earning money in food and drink sales if more attention was paid to the area.Overall, we like this place. You just need to give it a chance to get past a few foibles.
