Arties Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Kingwood Township

Everything about this place was ok, not great. The bill was the most upsetting part for me. I'll explain. We got there late on Saturday June 5th, 2025. Probably around 8. We were seated promptly and our waitress greeted us warmly. We proceeded to order a house salad with thousand Island dressing and an order of garlic Parm wings for me and a French onion soup and a crab cake appetizer for the lady. The first sign of trouble is the waitress forgot my fiancee order and had to come back (on its own, it wasn't anything to worry about). Then the order of the food came out in a weird way and one at a time. First came out my wings, then her French onion soup, then her crab cakes and then after 6-10 minutes of waiting I asked about my house salad. She blamed it on the cook and then went to get it. After 3 minutes, she came back with it. Everything was ok. Mostly. Wings were ok but were small and needed more sauce. The French onion soup was ok but was basically unseasoned. The one crab cake wasnt bad but it was a lot of filler. Surprisingly the house salad was a very healthy size (even though the thousand Island dressing wasnt too great. All of this could have been considered a decent meal, mostly because it was pretty reasonably priced in the menu, until we got the bill (which I noticed the issue with AFTER I paid). Each item on the bill was more than what it said in the menu. And it was weirdly priced more where I figured out what happened. THEY ADDED TAX TO EACH ITEM ON THE BILL AND THEN THEY ADDED TAX IN ON TOP OF THAT ON THE END!!!!!! There was also a credit card fee that was a bit higher than most places. For these reasons this place is a once and done place. I don't like to be scammed out of money I barely have to begin with.!!!!! Edit : I just checked their pricing online with the website and what we were charged was definitely more than what is printed on everything!!!! Unless they said "hey, we don't know what happened but we want to make it right by offering a meal on us, I doubt I will ever go back to this place based on the small theft they did on us in an evening. PROCEED WITH...

Pros: Parking was easy, even during a concert. Staff was friendly, in the "Jersey" way. Plenty of space . They have a lot of room in and outside. I had the classic burger and it was cooked just right. Drinks on tap were good . I had the Mango. Looked to have a decent selection of liquor. Mostly table top seating. Cool long outside bar . Great set up for small concerts. $20 for an Alien Ant Farm concert with 3 opening bands was a steal. Loved it. Was cool seeing the opening bands join the crowd when they were done. They had a little pool table area. They also had an inside bar near the inside stage as well . Prices were fair. And Menu had good selection.

Cons: feels a bit out in the middle of nowhere, so nothing else around to go to nearby. But I kind of like that . They ran out of food/ appetizers pretty quick though out night , so order early. They probably didn't prep well enough for that night. Bathrooms are typical bar condition bathrooms. I don't mind table top seating but may not be for everyone. The one bathroom near the main bar is single use , so could get a line built up. Use the other one in the second room if so. Don't expect food to come out quick, can take awhile even when ordering early.

All and all I would still recommend coming here for a bar / concert experience. It was my first for a small venue and liked it. I even drove up 1 and half hour up to see them from South Jersey area. I left pix to check out.

I'm Beef and that's...

could be a lot better and amazing the layout - big beautiful inside and out. Alcohol prices $7 for local ale, come on this is Arties on a nowhere rte 12 bar? Avg cocktail drinks $9-13. Place wasn't busy, waited 50 mins for appetizers, then 40 mins for dinner. Many dishes cold and food was just so so.

Mens bathroom no stalls just one room with urinal and toilet - toilet faces door and urinal to the side, we open the door and a guy taking dump right there, startles a young boy for sure. Just one of many stupid decisions made by Arties.

This is the third and last time I will ever go there as first experience was absolutely horrible and worth a 0 star review. Others of our party said never again and we only went because one in our party said they go there all the time for good food......I suggest strongly...
