garvey's family restaurant and pub monroe township nj

Kay and Bob Garvey were wonderful and so accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a nicer place for family and friends to gather on such a solemn day. A friend recommended Garvey's so I called and stopped by. We needed a restaurant to have the repast and not living in the area for several years I didn't know where to go.

We figured he was an owner, but he did not give us a welcoming impression to come in and relax.My mom passed away on Thanksgiving night and a memorial service was planned for Saturday, December 10th at the church she had attended for over forty five years in Helmetta. There was an elderly man walking around the dining area wearing a golf hat and windbreaker. She did make the correction before we paid. The bill came missing the discount, because she put it on the next table's bill. At the conclusion of our dinner we gave her a 10% off coupon that we clipped from a local newsletter. We got bread after ordering our meals but that took a while to come out. All evening, she brought the wrong dishes to the wrong tables. We had a middle aged waitress who was horribly disorganized and easily frazzled handling 3 tables. We ordered 2 diet colas, which were odd tasting and watered down. She had to wait 10 more minutes to get her rings. My wife was satisfied with her fried flounder sandwich but received the fries and no onion rings. Instead I was given a balsamic vinagrette on the side.

However, the caesar salad was chopped romaine lettuce with croutons and some grated parmesan cheese on top. The calamari was lightly breaded and tender. My wife ordered a fried flounder sandwich platter with onion rings instead of french fries (an extra $2). Not finding anything that caught my eye, I ordered an appetizer, Fried Calamari and a caesar salad. Food: The menu was an unusual variety of standard pub food at above standard prices. We walked in at early dinnertime (6:30) on a Saturday night and found 4 tables with customers. Inside, there is a bar area with music and TVs and there is also a restaurant area that could easily seat 150-200 people if needed. It is a good size establishment with a very large parking lot nestled in the middle of a dark and quiet country road. Due to the lack of quality restaurants in the Monroe Township area, we decided to explore new and possible eateries that might be of good quality and value.
