The Brook Tap House 811 Passaic Avenue, West Caldwell, NJ 07006

"Had an OK experience here, our first visit. It's a big place, kinda cool pub vibe, lots of variety on the menu, big selection of beer on tap.. The food is good, we had the short rib nachos as an appetizer and it was very tasty, and the short rib was an excellent match.. We ordered the Italian Pork sandwich and Crab Cake sandwich for dinner. Both were prepared well and served quickly, my date enjoyed the Italian Pork sandwich, but the Crab Cake sandwich was a bit underwhelming. It tasted fine, but the Crab Cake was very small, entirely hidden by the bun. Crab Cakes are usually pretty substantial, in my experience, but this one was quite small.. The other thing was the music system. There must have been a blown speaker or something, the music sounded horrible, like an old AM radio. It was also up too loud, it was hard to hear conversations.. Service was great though, drinks and food came quickly.. We will go back, the pizza there is supposed to be really good, maybe the sound system will be fixed by then?"

"Great stop for a bite to eat or a pint. They have a very good beer selection and the food was excellent. I had the cheesesteak and would recommend it. The staff was friendly and attentive."

"A gem of a place. The Brook Tap House is spacious and sparkling clean. The service was fantastic and the food was excellent. We ordered 1/2 buffalo chicken and 1/2 margherita pie with buffalo wings. The children's menu has all of a kid's greatest hits. They feature local craft beers and a delicious looking cocktail list. The tables are nicely spread out so it doesn't feel like you are on top of the people dining nearby. They have a plethora of TV's if you are looking to catch a game. A general sports bar feel but very family friendly. There is additional parking in the very back of the restaurant. Overall, I was impressed and we will certainly return."

"We loved the thinny thin pizza along with everything else we ordered. Great spot if you have kids. Hostess was so very nice as well and you could feel that they truly appreciate their customers"
