Charley's Tavern 57 New Jersey 181, Jefferson, NJ 07849

"Charley's Tavern impressed me with their prime rib—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and a true delight for the taste buds. The inviting atmosphere and attentive staff further enhanced the overall dining experience. I highly recommend Charley's for a fantastic meal!"

"The food was very good. Their food is well priced and cooked really nicely. I will say, at times their food was a little over seasoned. My friend had the pasta and shrimp with garlic sauce and there was bit too much garlic. I had the French dip with garlic bread though and the garlic bread worked so well with the sandwich. That bar can be a bit noisy but even in late fall the outside section has heaters which keep you warm and it's not as loud. I believe we had Claire as our bartender/waitress and she was wonderful. Attentive, quick, but not intrusive. She took care of that place like a boss. Overall, Charley's was great while not being over priced for drinks and food. Definitely go and enjoy."

"Had to make a trip to Lake Hopatcong and a few people had told me that Charley's Tavern is a place to grab a really solid burger while in the area. Stopped in with that in mind and ended up going a different route, but my buddy got the burger and said it was excellent. Our bartender (Stephanie) told me that while their burgers were killer, she preferred the breaded chicken sandwich. Okay Stephanie, I hear you loud and clear. They have Landshark on tap which is nice, managed to keep myself to only three of those haha. Another bonus was they offer tater tots as a side. Nearly anywhere I go that offers tots, I get tots. Got a side of honey mustard and dipped the tots in them, solid. The chicken sandwich I got was the special, not the menu one so it differed slightly. This one had bacon, BBQ sauce, Provolone, Lettuce, and Tomato. This was a MASSIVE sandwich. A huge, freshly breaded and fried, chicken cutlet was cut in half to match the shape of the bun as well as possible. I genuinely wasn't able to get every item on the sandwich in a single bite until about halfway through the sandwich, it was wild. The cutlets were definitely fresh and fried well. If I had to give a criticism, the cutlet by itself didn't have as much flavor as I would hope. When you added all the other elements to the chicken though, it was a delicious bite. Had to tack on a shot of Jameson for good measure before waddling back to the car. Charley's Tavern - Didn't Suck!"

"A group of us visited Charley's yesterday for lunch and drinks. Our first time and we really liked it! Fun atmosphere! Love the outdoor area! They have live entertainment, corn hole, comfy seating areas, and the service was very good. Our server was handling the establishment on her own and did a great job! We ordered the boat of onion rings, Cobb salad, french dip, burger, and steak sandwich. For drinks we did sangria and a whiskey sour. Both were very good. We will definitely be back for food and the live entertainment."

"Love this place. Didn't eat the food so can't say much about that. But I can tell you the atmosphere is awesome and live entertainment was spot on! Saw the band Duckface there. Everybody was up singing and dancing and having a blast."
