Top O’th’ Hill Tavern - Bridgewater

I visited here on 21 September 2018, meeting a friend of mine as the location was roughly between her in Flanders and I in Matawan. The tavern comes up a little quickly as the driveway is slightly obscured by the surrounding hill, but this place is worth keeping an eye out. We settled in to get drinks and spent awhile catching up, with the waitress giving us plenty of time and not rushing us. I ordered the bacon cheddar burger, which was done perfectly with a lightly toasted bun and the meat and cheese tasting perfectly. My friend and I spent about another hour just catching up after eating and, again, we were given all the time we needed without any rush. The interior is designed to replicate a pub, with exposed ceiling beams, all wood floors, and a large bar. Sitting inside surrounded by the tall trees on the hill, it's easy to imagine oneself in an Irish pub. A local gem.

I've been to this place a few times, always good. Straight-forward tavern food (burgers, sandwiches, fries, salads, entrees, desserts), all good. The waitress always gets our orders correct, nice to work with, incredible memory, and pays attention, great service. It's a great casual place to eat and meet. They also have a beautiful, huge, 320-year old white oak next to parking that is amazing.

Lovely diner and bar. We went for dinner the other night and and enjoyed this place immensely. I ordered smoked pork chops and my partner ordered a cheese steak. All was delicious and the prices are unbeatable. There was one waitress who was also the bartender. The place was busy but she never kept us waiting. What a hero! We'll definitely be coming back!

This was a great spot to visit after being in the area for a few hours. Seems like a speak easy. Nice chilled environment and laid back. Food was great and well done.

This place isn?t going to win any awards for their friendliness but it hit the right spot for the occasion: we were looking for some bar/tavern food and a beer after a nearby hike. Food was good, fries were great, beer was cold. Prices were dirt cheap.
