Great little restaurant and brewpub in the Harvest Group restaurant chain. Some people don’t like the valet parking and no baseball hat policy...but you really need to think of this place as a really good restaurant that happens to make some pretty good beer too (and unfortunately has a very small parking lot). The shame in the past has been that NJ’s antiquated beer laws prevented them from selling their own beers at their other 9-10 restaurants...but the new law passed last year should be changing that soon (or so the mangement of their other locations has told me). This is great as we will now see their better beers at their other locations instead of the couple of weaker offerings that had to go thru distribution before their other locations could buy them back. Come when it’s not busy (no valet parking then)...leave your cap in the car...and sit at the bar and enjoy their beers...

Easy to find location with L shaped parking lot. Clean location with a good selection of beer and friendly staff.

I was quite impressed by this place, especially the staff. Everyone (employees and regulars) drinking here was very friendly. The beers ranged from unexciting to rather good and interesting. There really wasn’t much not to like here. I will definitely be back. I didn’t try the food, but I will next time.

Upscale restaurant. Dark woods, white linen. Small parking lot. The beers were generally solid with no real standouts. The sampler was $10 with six samples they pick for you, though the bartender did give me small pours of the other two they had on tap. The food is very pricy, but its good. Customer service was unresponsive at times, but good.

Brew pub & restaurant located in an affluent NJ suburban town west of New York City. Atmosphere tries to be upscale, almost too upscale for a hard-core beer fan, but still accepting if you get there early. Tavern has a great feel to it. Pub Food was good, pricey, but very fresh and well-delivered. Lots of their own brews on tap. Staff was very friendly, as were the regulars at the bar - I’d return, but in the winter to take advantage of the big windows so I could watch snow fall and drink home-brewed beers!

This place has no soul!!! The food was very good but $24.95 for shrimp & grits? $19.95 for fried chicken! C’mon. Had the Helles and the Porter - Helles was ehh, Porter pretty basic but good. Very nice space, fresh cut flowers, huge barrell of apples for the road which was really cool. Horrid muzak...how about a flat screen in the bar or two, seems like they are shooting for low country fine dining...which is okay but the prices and beer don’t warrant a return. Host guy was very nice.

Headed over for lunch. Food was OK and a little more on the pricier side. Beer was OK too.

We visited Trap Rock late on a Sunday night. The place was nearly empty and from the website I figured we might be out of luck, but sure enough we were able to grab seats and the bar and order food and drink. From the one previous poor review (from someone who joined that day, posted a bad review, and was never seen again...disgruntled ex-employee maybe?), I was slightly hesitant, but that guy could not have been more wrong. The food was priced in line with a whole lot of other brewpubs, including many that I have visited who provided much less impressive food. This place comes off as a mid level steakhouse and their menu reflects that. We ordered a few sides (the lightly smokey grilled asparagus was excellent, as was the mac-n-cheese). My wife ordered the soup of the day - an andouille gumbo which while she said was a bit too spicy, was otherwise up to snuff. I had the beer sampler to start, and man was that a deal. Decent sized pours of 6 beers came right away, and either because it was a slow night, or he was just a good bartender, he poured me samples of the other three things on tap as well. Ended up with nine sample beers large enough that I probably could have gotten by without ordering another full beer, but the IPA was solid enough that I had to. Overall a really nice place, nice laid back old feel, friendly staff, good food, and some decent beers.

My wife and I had lunch at Trap Rock today. Started with the cauliflower soup. It was so awful I had to send it back. Then I had the crabcake sandwich for $13.95 and my wife had the scallop special for $14.95. Know how many scallops you get for $14.95? Just 3. The crabcake was so small it only filled half the McDonalds sesame bun it was on. The coleslaw was swimming mayonaise and everything, crabcakes, scallops and especially the french fries was too salty. The beers we tried were an IPA, rye pale ale, and the Belgian blonde and were acceptable but boring. They have a light hand on the hops and take no chances. No flaws in the beers, but nothing to make them stand out. And did I mention the short pours in the small glasses? All in all it was one of the absolute worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. DANGER, THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF.

Nice cozy place. Reminded me of a lodge, lots of wood, which is a plus in my book. They had 8 on tap the day I went but the cask was unavailable. The food was pricier than I expected but I was mostly there for the beer and the company..both of which were awesome. The servers are professional, maybe a bit over the top at times but they know their shit. Can’t wait to go again.
