The food is not up to par, went twice and the tables were empty, but everyone can have a bad night so that is why i went the second time...i was wrong. Â There is no way someone with food prep experience is in that kitchen. Â I got huge overcooked slabs of steak piled up on another huge crouton. Â Extremely dry anf the knife couldnt cut it. Â I had a boat of gravy which i surmise was magi sauce and not gravy. I would suggest that the owner(s) start eating there to see for themselves.
Review Source:Tommy Fox's is a great local Irish pub. Great place to have a pint of Guinness and chat with your friends. Â Bartenders are very friendly as is the manager. She recently helped me to set up a party and everything went very well! Great burgers and my kids love the chicken fingers. Â A nice addition to the Bergenfield area.
Review Source:Tommy Fox's Public House is a typical big boisterous Irish public house divided into three main sections with many tables so you need not have a reservation here. As you enter from the main front door on Washington Ave. to the far left is the family-friendly section with nice quieter tables. Straight ahead are tables in the middle next to the bar area, but, separated by a pub like dark wood wall. To the far right is the noisier bar area also overlooking the dance floor. My party of two arrived on a recent Sunday around 6pm for dinner without any reservation as usual, since we have been here many times. We were seated in the middle section near the bar and overlooking the dance floor on a Sunday where they had two live rather older musicians playing Irish tunes. Mostly older Irish customers were dancing. The bar area has some very old authentic Irish pub like heavy dark wood finish. This is not a place for the young until much latter at night. I started with my favorite draft Guinness. I ordered their Sheppard's Pie, which arrived extremely hot as usual, but, had way too much mashed potatoes and not enough meat. The Sheppard's pie was also rather drab without much seasoning. My wife on the other hand was raving about her smoked salmon. Well at least half of us were satisfied. Next time I will not order the Sheppard's pie. The Irish music and service here were good so I will return, but, will not order the Sheppard's pie. You can park across the street on Washington Ave. or you can park in the rear and enter through their rear entrance in which case my prior comments would be reversed.
Review Source:All in all, a pretty good restaurant, but a great bar. I ordered the grilled steak and it was cooked to perfection and pretty tasty. The sauteed broccoli was very surprising in that it was seasoned perfectly and not cooked to death like me sweet Irish mum did for decades. Had there been vegetable police, that lady most certainly would have been convicted of aggravated assault. But I digress (again). The waitress was very sweet and efficient. The Guiness was fresh and just perfect. My dinnermates were very disturbed by the two toddlers playing on the floor of the bar, and I tried to explain that in Ireland it is not uncommon for children to be present in neighborhood pubs, but they weren't having any. I agree that I wouldn't want to spill one drop of Guinness tripping over a toddler, that's for sure. Anyhow, as Irish pubs go, this is a good one. Enjoy!
Review Source:7 or 8 years ago (before they expanded would have given 5 stars) not anymore. Food is adequate and prices are a little high. This used to be THE place to go for classic fish and chips a phat burger or great apps my how times have changed. Â Last time i was there i ordered fish and chips(which i used to eat on a weekly basis there) and i got vandy camps and cold fries on a really big plate. Food aint what it used to be here neither are the bartenders. Brandon brian noel and paul where have you gone?
Review Source:What a complete hoot. Â It's a faux irish pub that has all the charm of a chain and the ambience of a food court.
The service was mediocre and remarkably slow considering it was 5 in the afternoon on a Sunday and the place was frankly empty. Â Either the Irish band they've brought in has yet to charm the locals or it has scared them off.
There are no gluten free options of any kind, so I had to take a chance with a bun-less hamburger. Â Since there's no way of knowing what's in a hamburger, that's a risky thing to do. Â But everything else here is breaded.
There's a very good day spa in walking distance that does an excellent two hour massage. Â Walk over there and spend your money there. Â Your stomach will thank you and so will your back.
Im a fan of Tommy Fox's for the classic pub feel. Â I feel like the bartenders I have had here have been pretty good and have always made a good drink! Â Food is also classic pub food pretty good, nothing too special though but what do you expect? Â Not a bad place though I stumbled in one night on what must have been Screamo night or something... Â Cant imagine if that was my first visit and all I had to judge on! Â Nice place!
Review Source:If you go there to have a meal with a group sitting at a table, the service is great and the food is too. If your going there for drinks at the bar, don't bother. Half the time they don't even pour the guinness or smithwicks in a proper pint glass. The bar itself is simply too small and it could take as long as 20 min to get a drink if you go on a busy night (i.e. if there is a band). Also the beer prices are just a bit much (i.e. last time there I ordered a Smithwicks draft and aHeineken bottle and it was 11 bucks, also they didn't even serve the smithwicks in a pint glass). Bottom line, go there for lunch or dinner not for drinks at the bar.
Review Source:Went in to Tommy's for the food for the first time the other night. Â Unfortunately for us there was a customer recognition party. Â So service was a little slow. Â It did get us a free drink to start with though. Â
I ordered the shepherd's pie, although it was traditionally a cottage pie (beef). Â That is what sold me on it though. Â I prefer the cottage pie. Â It was tasty but I wish there were more crispy potatoes. Â The potatoes were only piped in a lattice pattern.
We stated quite a while and were not rushed out. Â I would partake again if I was in the mood for Irish food.
I've passed this bar countless times while growing up in Bergen County. Â Today was my first visit to Tommy Fox's and I was really impressed with the cleanliness of the place and the professionalism of the bartenders.
I was totally expecting a dirty dive bar and all that comes with it; the odors, the barflies, and the poor ambiance. Â Wrong on all fronts. Â I really liked this place. Â It's a great local bar that should be more popular than it is.
I was here with my cousin with the intentions of having a few beers and catching up. Â We toasted on he and his wife purchasing their first home. Â Growing up is hard sometimes.
The atmosphere of the bar was great. Â The bar top was full when we came in around 830p and everyone seemed to be having a great time, high fives were going up everywhere!
My cousin and I also ordered the Tommy Burger-which was delicious (recommended), along with several rounds of Blue Moon and Yuengling draughts. Â A live band started playing around 11pm. Â At that point, attempts at having any sort of discussion were futile.
$15 minimum on credit/debit purchases.
Erin go bragh...
Loved the decor and the ambiance. Â Went on a Wednesday before going to the movies and it wasn't too loud or busy. Â Service was attentive and food was served quickly.
I ordered the hamburger with sauteed onion. Â Very juicy - fries tasted freshly made - not from frozen.
My boyfriend ordered the fish n chips - he loved it - thought the fish was nice and flaky and the batter had a nice flavor.
Loved the Malt Vinegar that was served with our food.
My only minus about this place was that people were and allowed to smoke right outside the doorway so the place smelled like cigarettes and you had to walk through a cloud of smoke to get in the place. Â That I didn't like at all.....
I love Tommy Fox! It is my second favorite Irish Pub in all of Bergen county, after my own hometown pub.
Their Guinness pour is amazing! Like any good place it has won an award or two for it.
The food is also really good and my wife and I are a fan of their wings and their burgers. I have so far only come for lunches when I am in the area to take care of some errands, but every time I come here I leave with a smile on my face.
The service is good, especially the bartenders who are really good and make excellent drinks and pour an excellent Guinness.
If you are in the area you definitely have to give Tommy Fox a try.
I met my husband in Tomy Fox a few years ago, and since we live in NYC, we didn't have to opportunity to go back until last night.
The service was very good, as I remember. He ordered the Steak is very good, juicy and very tender. I ordered the Prime Rib and I got disappointed. It has lack of flavor somehow.
This is my local watering hole.
This is a nice Irish bar in Northeastern NJ. Â
Great bartenders, who are "bartenders" not kids working part time. Â They are pros. Â They pour a great pint of Guinness. Â I have to say all of the draught is good and the lines are kept clean. Â Great tasting Stella and Carlsberg too.
They have a nice menu with good pub food. Â Real fish and chips, Â Irish breakfasts, shepard's pie, nice steaks and bangers and mash.
Sports-wise they show all of the NFL on Sundays as well as the Irish GAA games via satellite on weekend mornings. Â They also have the NHL package for all of the games.
Quiz nights on Mondays at 8:30 are a big hit. Â Lots of fun and good prizes (Yankees/giants/mets tickets and gift certificates that will more than cover your tab).
Live Irish music and dancing on Sunday afternoons. Â Rock bands and/or DJ's on Friday and Saturday nights.
Hope to see you at the bar sometime!
