Jersey's Tavern

Bunch of seniors hanging in this bar on a Saturday afternoon. Patio looked pretty uninviting (mostly for smoking) so i watched the game from a table near the bar. Clearly, there are plenty of TV's and somebody actually knows what games and what channel to put them on. Props for that news. Burgers, sandwiches and the usual suspects were popping up, but the weekly specials for Saturday were chicken enchiladas. It was the waitress' favorite dish (aren't they all), so I went for it and it turned out very good. The red cream sauce that was advertised might have been on there, but it was more like a cheese sauce mixture that was also mentioned in the description. It was bright though and kind of looked like a meteor when served. The only thing that elevated it was the excellent addition of green chilies to the shredded white meat chicken inside the three corn tortillas. The chilies added some zing to the dish and both the rice and beans were serviceable. Nice waitress and an all day happy hour made for a good lunch. I also noticed that nothing in this place is priced over $7.99 and the famous $4.99 burger deal is really about $6.25 if you add cheese. Good local bar.

In my previous review I said that it appears Jerseys is getting serious about having good live music. Their new stage and improved lighting and sound seemed promising. However, since that review I have probably dropped by more than a dozen times and have yet to see a band that is worth listening to. For the most part the bands play a very bad brew of poorly played classic rock tunes. By going to Jersey's you can see how many substandard rock bands we have locally. A few people manage to get on the dance floor but their lack of enthusiasm and/or dance skills is painfully obvious.

Stopped by during a weeknight, late at night (near closing time). Seems like a good local sports bar that's reasonably priced. They have TVs everywhere so I'll definitely be checking it out again once football season starts. The bartender (who was nice) said they would show any team if asked.
