Welcome to New Jersey's Legendary Steak House

The restaurant's design of rich wood paneling and highly polished brass, lends a classic elegance to the sophisticated atmosphere.

Food and service were excellent as always. Blue Soul was playing at the bar which was perfect dinner music and we also stayed for a drink at the bar after. It was a great anniversary. Thank you for the cake!

The Tavern is a great alternative to the formal Rod's dining room experience. A varied menu with many of Rod's best selections plus other great items not served in the dining room. A casual restaurant with fine food and service you would expect at Rod's.

This place still isn’t what is was when the Keller family owned it. The food is pretty good but the service is so inconsistent. The time it takes to get a bartender’s attention, and then get a bill, is unacceptably slow.

Fantastic experience. Went for lunch and it was WONDERFUL. Service was AMAZING. From being greeted upon entering and seated, to anyone who served us, it was pleasant, friendly, professional, and so attentive to us...yet gave us space and time for privacy. The food was great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Been to many high end steak houses, this one missed. My husband ordered steak with herb butter. When has that ever been a side. The steak wasn't hot enough s putting butter on it was a waste. I had the sliced tenderloin it was overcooked. The carrot cake was amazing.
