De Old Towne Tavern - Bridgeton

Poor service. rude waitress.waitress was to occupied with a group of her friends to even clear the table,bring water or do anything you may expect a waitress to do.overall a bad experience.will not be comming back.

Our Family went there for Thanksgiving and everything from service, drinks and dinner were excellent. Place is bright and tables are not all jammed together. Bartender was fast and friendly and made a us great ****** Mary's we will gladly return making this our new go to bar restaurant

Let me preface my review: I think there's been a staffing change in the kitchen, so I've heard the food is a lot better than it used to be. I have only eaten here once myself, and it was very recently, so I can't speak to the negative reputation this place may have once had, but I don't think it's a fair representation that the only other Yelp review is a one-star, and from ages ago. My husband and I ate dinner here one night, and I thought the food was delicious. The dinner specials even came with a glass of wine and salad bar that included desserts (even the sweet almond cake from Terrigno's down the street)! I thought the menu was extensive, and the specials were inventive. The food was flavorful and executed perfectly, and the service was attentive and friendly. I've been wanting to go back again for a while, and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone for lunch or dinner. The Facebook page posts their lunch and dinner specials online frequently. There is also a large bar separate from the dining room, and the bartender was friendly as well.

(Note that the bad reviews are all quite old... This is the kind of restaurant where the dishes are named things like oysters Rockefeller and salmon Oscar, and serves as a staple place for locals for nicer dinners out. It's fairly unique in Bridgeton, I think. Their dinner entrees include the salad bar, bread bar, and dessert bar. The seafood is quite good. They also have a friendly bar area for those not interested in committing to a full dinner. The atmosphere is fairly friendly and casual, but the food and service is a little higher quality than you usually find around here.

Top quality meals, great salad and dessert bar. When I want a consistently good meal this is where I go. They are very accommodating for large parties. Plenty of parking.
