Fun place we went for dinner last night. It was crowded but we were able to get a table in 20 minutes. I ordered the ultimate Reuben sandwich and my husband ordered the Roadhouse Burger. The food is absolutely delicious!! They had live music, it was an enjoyable fun night!! I highly recommend this restaurant!!
I have good friends that eat there quite often & I have gone when visiting from Az. The food is ALWAYS GREAT, wonderful people work the bar (we always sit at the bar) a great comfortable place & I always look forward to going!
Love this place. Great food and service. Check out the bang bang chicken sandwich. Great bartenders
Windward Tavern never disappoints! I've been here several times and I've been able to get a completely different dish every time. From Italian to burgers to seafood, Windward does everything right. I really enjoyed my chicken Francese--the sauce had a great lemony flavor and the perfect texture. It tasted like it was from a real Italian restaurant! My meal came with a side dish, soup or salad, and a basket of bread, and it was a great deal for ~$20. The bread came with cinnamon butter, vaguely reminiscent of Texas Roadhouse's signature butter. My whole family enjoyed the buffalo wings for our appetizer, but they were SPICY! The French dip sandwich was a popular choice amongst my table, and so was the steak sandwich. However, both dishes had LOTS of garlic. One thing to note is that Windward cooks their meat on the rarer side, so I would recommend ordering your steak/burger medium well if you want it medium, for example. Windward also has many seasonal specials and craft cocktails, which all looked pretty delicious. I will definitely be back to Windward the next time I'm in NJ!
Windward Tavern is a bar & restaurant in Brick. It is a cute house looking building on the main drag. You park in the back & enter through the bar area. The bar area is dark wood and takes up the whole room. It is set up so that everyone faces in towards the bartenders. It is loud with stories being told and the tvs on. Perfect bar atmosphere. There is plenty of parking out back so no worries there. The AC works and the bathrooms are clean. Prices are typical of the shore area. We weren't greeted warmly but perhaps it was shift change or they were short staff or ? Regardless once we got seated things began to look up. The ambiance is shore boathouse bar type feel. The tables in the restaurant area are set nicely with white paper over a blue & white tablecloth with their logo stamped on the white paper. The menu has soup, salads, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, appetizers, seafood, etc. Something there for everyone. The wine list is large & there is a full bar. The server warmed up over time too. We enjoyed our meal there. The wedge salad was good. The salmon delicious as was the Cod Oreganata. The only truly disappointing food was the Arizona Chicken sandwich (so tough!) and their side of mashed potatoes. It is weird to find bad mashed potatoes but they exist. The Princeton Avenue salad with blue cheese, pecans, balsamic vinaigrette was tasty. All in all it is a nice place. I would go again
5 stars for a pub? In my mind, yes. Checks all the boxes. Friendly & attentive service- Great food Great atmosphere Been here a few times before writing the review to make sure it wasn't an anomaly, but it's not. Solid every time.....
Got in at 730 for a Bite to eat. St us quickly. Katie Was our waitress. She was awesome Ordered. Burger and it was outstanding. One of the best in the area. The menu looked good and the beer was cold. I will be returning
