Tun Tavern
It was becoming late, so we decided to grab lunch before we went to the US Marine Corps National Museum. Because there was so much more to see and do, we made a brief pit stop to get something to eat on-site. How could you turn down a restaurant named after the site where the United States Marine Corps was founded? We weren’t expecting much because it’s a museum restaurant, but we were pleasantly surprised!
Despite its tiny size, the service here is top-notch. The waiter had a good grasp of the menu and recommended some excellent choices. The prices were fair, and the food was of high standard. There was no mortgage on my property after I ordered the steak, which was prepared to order. A superb local brew was served as a follow-up recommendation.
Montclair Family Restaurant
There just isn’t anywhere better in town for a family-style Greek/Italian “greasy spoon” meal.
Generally speaking, the cuisine is consistent, the staff is nice, and they have a great, tried & true set menu!
MontClair Chicken Salad has been a favorite of ours for at least two years now, and it’s just become better under the current management/ownership. Their cheesesteaks are also the greatest in the neighborhood.
Rosie's Kitchen
Rosie’s Kitchen is the place to go if you want a burger that lives up to its reputation. If you top your burger with some cheese, you’ll have what everyone agrees is the most delicious burger in town. Rosie’s is known for their friendliness, professionalism, and excellent cooking. Rosie’s has some of the best and most unique fries around!
Padrino’s II Italian Restaurant
When we are in a new location for work, we usually make an effort to sample the local fare, but it is impossible to predict with any degree of accuracy what we will be served at this place. Food is the primary draw to this establishment; not the atmosphere, not the design, nor even the service. My coworker ordered the meat strombolli, I ordered the vegetable strombolli (and requested that they add ricotta so that it was technically a calzone, which they kindly did with no difficulty), and our buddy decided to have the cheese steak. It was impossible to eat everything since it was so filling.
