Dutch House tavern in Fair Lawn has a really good burger. The meat is supplied by a local butcher shop. Also a very cozy atmosphere.
If Eli can drive an hour for Drew’s, I can drive an hour for The Dutch!

No pic but I got a burger at the bar at the Old Village Pub in middletown the other day. Don’t do it. I usually love checking out towny vibe places like that, but holy cow was their burger a disaster. Claims to be 1/2 lb, ordered Medium rare but it came out so burnt and overcooked the patty barely covered half of the kaiser roll, it was like the size of a whopper jr patty.
Sent it back and the resulting burger was at least not a shriveled puck, but still was fully cooked inside. It’s a shame because their toppings were really good. Also within our party some of the fries/tots we ordered somehow came out cold. Sadness.

If you are in the area and want to try another Port Side on Rt 36 gets good reviews, but I haven’t tried.
You are a braver man than me, eating at the OVP.

I got a recommendation for the burger at Pine Tavern in Matawan. I’ve passed it many times but never stopped in. Anyone know if you can actually have a burger at the bar here?
I really like checking out off the beaten path joints like that, there are some gems some times!
Pics of the food at port side look nice!! Thanks for the rec.

We dropped into the Pour House in TF for a late lunch and were surprised to find no one cooking behind the bar - my burger came out of the kitchen.
What don’t I know?
