The Garden State Grill

We just discovered this place online and glad we did. Passing thru this area in the evenings didn't know a place like this exists here. I have ordered the black and bleu burger twice now, always to-go. This is the best cooked burger I've had so far around this area. Nice char, cooked medium just right, and the chunks of bleu cheese, bread, and a side of onion rings, was all good. I couldn't finish it one evening so I saved it. I didn't expected a reheated burger to be great but wrapped it in a moist paper towel and slowly heated it up. Still tasted great! My husband loves the crab cakes here too. One day we will actually dine in.

So we tried the Cesar salad, mild wings, the constanza w/chips and the special of the day seafood chowder. Everything was delicious but the only thing that could use a twick was the seafood chowder. It was more like seafood grits cause of the chunky cream sauce that seem to be needing more mixing or more liquid. My husband said that the Constanza was the best in town, I even liked it and I don't like Rubens. Ceasar salad had a good helping of the dressing which was great. Wings also not breaded as much which for me is even better. Mild is not that hot so I was able to actually eat it. Service was great, very attentive. Over all great place to eat. Wasn't my first time and won't be my last.

The food was delicious, well seasoned full of flavor! Our server was good. She was honest and on the ball, despite being the only one. We went around 11:15am. We don't usually order dessert, but she recommended it and it didn't disappoint. So many things on the menu I wanna try!! The marinara was delicious and I usually don't like other people's sauce!! We got the fried ravioli bites; I was impressed so much I ordered pasta! Give them a try !! Also, they have NC beer, Red Oak on draft!!! If ykyk

I want to start off with how clean this place was when we walked in and how kind their staff was, greeting us as we walked in. Our server was so kind and helpful since this was our first time coming to this restaurant! The food was steaming hot each time it arrived to the table, fresh to order!!!! Everything was flavorful and delicious, me and my bf will most definitely be regulars at this spot. I wish I would’ve caught our waitresses name because she was so sweet ! Highly recommend this spot to family and friends!

I FINALLY ordered from TGSG last week (takeout). I work just a half mile away. The Black & Blue Burger was cooked to perfection (I ordered medium rare). I also grabbed Chicken Fingers (child portion) and those were delicious - airy and not at all dry. Looks like a relaxing place to have lunch/dinner (also has a bar and outdoor patio tables). Staff was very friendly and helpful. Must return soon to try items more specific to NJ. Like the burger with Taylor Pork Roll... That's definitely happening!
