A huge thank you to Melissa Ortez and the entire staff at The Barrow House for hosting our wedding reception cocktail-hour followed by a three course plated dinner in the Barn. They completely blew us away with their attention to detail, level of expertise, professionalism, service and day-of dining experience. Not only was the food delicious, it was stunningly presented and our guests raved!.. especially over unique offerings like their grilled-cheese shooters and NY Strip steak! The drink options were diverse and top shelf, ranging from a robust selection of local craft beers on tap to the Barrow’s handcrafted specialty cocktails. The Barrows’s bar specialist, Jess, helped us select two wi...
This restaurant is one of the most well-known and popular spots in the Clifton, NJ area. It stands out for its charming farmhouse-style setting and appealing interior design. We decided to dine here on a Sunday evening and were fortunate to secure a table without a reservation, as the place was bustling. The menu offered a good variety of dishes, with standout starters like deviled eggs and Mac and cheese. However, we were a bit let down by the entrees. The pasta was decent, but the Po'boy sandwich could use some improvement. The bread was too thick and bland, lacking any flavor like butter. The fried shrimp also did not impress, detracting from the overall dish. Despite this, we thoroughly...
So I almost gave this amazing establishment 5 stars The only reason why I didn’t give it a full five stars is not because I did not enjoy the food. Food was amazing! Pizza was great (meat lovers). A little too greasy but I don’t mind folding my pizza and draining it off… We got some chicken fingers as appetizers! Guess what?! Ranch and honey is an amazing combination. If I had more room I would have eaten the short rib grilled cheese but there is a bottom to my stomach after all. What took away from the 5 stars and what may help me revise my review to 5 stars later was the service. Not good Almost decent Just needed a little more attentiveness. Just a bit more. Maybe they were busy… all good...
I have visited this restaurant twice now and had a great time on both occasions. The first visit was for happy hour, and the second was for brunch. I had reservations for one visit and none for the other, but I was seated right away both times. The staff was friendly, and our server, Max, did a wonderful job of being attentive and pleasant. The happy hour snacks were tasty, and the brunch burger and tea sandwich board from the Alice in Wonderland themed pop up were excellent. My husband and I will definitely be coming back again.

Crab dip was subpar but steamed shrimp was awesome. Server never cleared the table before bringing out more food. Then the runner looked confused when I asked her to remove the dirty plates first. My husband noticed the building was under negative air pressure caused from Kitchen hood exhaust (kitchen saloon doors sucked in) causing hot humid exterior air to rush into the restaurant when the exterior doors would open. Sit away from doors if you want A/C. Outdoor seating looked nice and led to long pier on the water.
Nice enough restaurant, but way too noisy. Food very good but not outstanding. I'd flagged our group as celebrating a birthday (my grandson's 19th), but the waiter told us they didn't do anything for special occasions -- a disappointment since the question was asked when I made the reservation through Open Table. A bit on the expensive side, but I suppose that's to be expected on a warm summer weekend night.
This country, rustic bar/restaurant is so warm and welcoming. Its unique decor invites you get comfortable, and the staff is so friendly and polite that you want to stay a while.... the specialty drinks were delicious as were the appetizers we had at the bar. Looking forward to a next visit that will definitely include dinner.
As always, the Barrow House delivered a stellar meal and hand crafted cocktails with an old time ambience. Always love our times at the Barrow.
