St James's Gate Publick House

Let's start with the goods shall we? Great downtown location; nearby parking; extremely friendly staff. My boyfriend and I ordered LA's Crock of Cheese as an appetizer. Our dining mates went with chicken tenders (which I might add, looked like ready-to-eat tenders that had been microwaved). What arrived was an abomination of my tastebuds. If you had showed me a 6 year old was in the kitchen churning out orders, I wouldn't have been surprised. This excuse for a lunchable was the crock of cheese ! I'm not the person to send food back or cause a scene about my order, but this deserved it. Instead, I was shocked into silence. I could not, and STILL can not believe that they were willingly servin...

We decided to stop here for a sit-down bite to eat (we've never gone wrong with any Irish pub in North Jersey before) but I must say, I was very disappointed that I paid $62 to eat here. The food was extremely bland and not something I'd recommend to anyone who's loves a good Pub to eat at. I had the Bangers and Mash and my girlfriend had the Buffalo chicken Mac n cheese, two things that you'd think would be at least decent. The service was okay, it was a busy day and I do not fault them for any slow service. This is also my first Yelp review, if that tells you anything.

I hosted my 4 year olds birthday party here during non peak hours. The theme was Christmas. The Gate's staff made sure we had THE BEST time. We has Santa show up and the owners could not have been nicer and/or more accommodating. They even took a picture with Santa. Thank you all so much for making this party so memorable.

A friendly comfortable pub with a broad eclectic variety of beers on tap and very good pub food. Favorites are the St James Burger and the Mussels- always order the chips.
