Caroline's Tavern

So glad we went here. Had the pierogi appetizer which wasn't much pierogi but pierogi-ish. Also had the truffle chicken wings which were super good. For dinner I had the French onion French dip which was absolutely amazing. I loved that they gave you a little bag of popcorn .Our servers were great. The bartender was pleasant and made a good drink. The ambience was nice and all the other patrons were friendly. Highly recommend!

I’d have to say, the place itself is lovely and the staff members were very nice but the food itself was horrible. We ordered the ribs and fried cheese as appetizers. The ribs tasted old and they weren’t hot. They seemed to be warmed up and the meat itself had a weird flavor. The fried cheese was good. It had a crunchy outer texture as the inside was cheesy and gooey. On to the food, I had the buffalo Mac n cheese with bacon. My chicken was extra slimy and had a gray color. It actually disgusted me. I tried eating just the noodles and bacon but I couldn’t. My friend had the chicken pot pie. She enjoyed! Our server, Mateo was very nice and helpful as was the buser and host. The place itself is nicely decorated. I’d like to try their brunch but as for food, I’m good. I had a stomach ache all

We are so happy to have Caroline’s in the neighborhood! The place is beautiful and the service was spot on. The server put a delicious bag of seasoned popcorn on the table after we were seated, yummy!! I had the short ribs the first time and the double burger on an English muffin another time !! The best burger ever! I highly recommend this place!

The food here is good, but ridiculously over priced for the portion sizes. I got 2 chicken Caesar salads and 2 soups for $66. The Caesar salad had no croutons, and one salad had bottom of the bag lettuce. I could bypass these issues any other time, but not after paying $66 for a meal not big enough to have as leftovers. I think the prices should be adjusted a bit on certain things, or increase the portion sizes.

This spot is new across from the Avenel NJ train stop, Next to the Avenel Performing Arts theatre ; just within the newly built (appx. Yr and a half) housing, but can be seen from the streets. There is ample parking and the perimeter of the restaurant is floor to ceiling doors and windows… a perfect view of cleanliness where ever you sit. The little touch lamps gives a nice aura to the eating area but with over head domed hanging lights it’s good enough to see the menu ( no eye strain due to dim lighting) . A patio in the front and on the side (side walk entry if walking) the fire pit area with the red outdoor furniture catches your eye, and a perfect area for a friendly gathering for drinks or after eating your meal. The waiters are professional, and have good conversation when engage
