"The delicious food, warm and inviting staff and fantastic atmosphere all contribute to make this a wonderful place to dine. I especially like their chicken - it is so tender and delicious. Each time I visit, I like to try something different on their menu. I am never disappointed. If you are looking for a nice quiet place with a fantastic atmosphere to dine, this is the place for you. I highly recommend this restaurant for an enjoyable evening on the town!!"

"It's a great local spot, with great food! More of a Tavern, but the food and service was excellent! Debbie was our barkeep, she did an excellent job. We had the Tuna melt in marble rye and a burger both yummy. My favorite, which I should have ordered, is the lobster bisque with a puff pastry top. Ask for the coconut cake, not on the menu, it's so spectacular! Glad to see they are back up and running from covid!"

"Delicious food, fair prices, warm and genuinely friendly staff, excellent service, in a nice inviting space with a comfortable historic ambiance. We went for lunch after a long ride and the grilled Ruben on rye was incredible! The BLT was also perfect! It's live to go back again!"

"Another great meal tonight at the Warrenside. Their Oktoberfest knockwurst special was fantastic, the chocolate mousse was great, and the drinks were spot-on as always. This place is a gem."

"Cool local place with excellent food reasonable priced. Very fast service & nice & professional staff! Excellent place to stop off the 78 going from Pennsylvania to Connecticut! Will try to come back if our travels bring us this way!"

- Teo R.

"Classic Tavern ; great American food, drinks. I eat here, whenever I'm in town. This is a warm, welcoming, family tavern, with a long local, history. The decor, is dark, rich, and sensual. The staff, greets you like family. I started off, with a solid bottle, of Cabernet, matched with some terrific French bread. How could something so simple as, sour dough, with olive oil and TONS of fresh, chopped garlic, be so'oooooooo good ? Great salad....THEN.... baby-calf-liver, served deliciously rare. You always take a chance when ordering liver ( nobody knows how to cook it....always, too tough ). Not this place ; perfect. Deserts, top notch, as well. One of my favorite spots, for 'American-Cuisine.....and, you'll never know, who you might run into !"
