Buzzy's Restaurant & Pub

What a shame. I've eaten here a few times over the years and was looking forward to a halfway decent meal. I didn't have my hopes up for a gourmet experience but a decent meal.

So we arrive for our date night.  The service was good, the drinks were delicious but the food was AWFUL.

The burger we ordered medium rare was well done and dry.

Even worse, the Chicken Marsala, which was a special of the day for 16.95 came out on a plate looking like a TV dinner.  Too much gloopy salty and sweet brown sauce that tasted like cheap marsala wine doused into a Hungry Man supper.   The chicken was tasteless and had a strange texture like it had been boiled and microwaved.

I was hungry so I tried to eat it but that was a mistake as it made me nauseous before I could eat half of it.  We should have sent both plates back but that was our mistake.

So many other options. This one will will not be visited again in a long time if ever.  What a disappointment and waste of money.

I'm reminded that the fried zucchini sticks we had as an appetizer were delicious.  That's true.  Just not worth the $50.00 we spent on dinner.

Just grabbed a late dinner here with my family last night and felt compelled to write this review based on the experience.

Let me preface this review by stating that my family and I used to come to Buzzy's pretty frequently in the early to late 90's when I still lived in Piscataway. We always had a great experience and loved the food and service.  After that, I never got the chance to go back.

When I relocated back up North for work a couple years ago, I took my grandmother out to eat here a couple times. It was disheartening because both times I went, I came away unimpressed, as the food and overall experience was not at all how I remembered it.

BUT...

after last night's meal, this place has won my heart over once again. I don't know if there were changes made in kitchen or if I just caught them on a bad couple nights last year, but the food last night was superb and the service could not have been better. We arrived at 9pm and the waitress was friendly, attentive and did not rush us in any way, shape, or form.

The Crab Meltaways are a house favorite/speciality and they were fresh and cooked to perfection, much like the Cheddarburger I had as my entree. Medium-rare, just as I ordered--juicy and delicious. The Boston lager I had with dinner was fresh, clean and cold.

Two people from our party ordered the Salmon Imperial, something I wouldn't necessarily venture to order at Buzzy's. Again, fresh, cooked to perfection and damn tasty.

Everyone loved their meal and I came away happy, knowing my faith and good memories of a nostalgic childhood favorite had been restored.

Cheers to Buzzy's. Can't wait to go back!

I regularly go to Buzzy's and, for the most part, have always been very satisfied with the food.  Agreed, the bar is a little dark but all are friendly so no worries on that end.

The burgers are the BEST and the potachos are delicious....they aren't always on the menu but you can ask if they'll make them for you...just be prepared because, on occasion, the answer is no.
