Our group of friends decided to give Robbinsville Bar & Grill a try, and it turned out to be quite the experience!
When we walked in, we were immediately impressed by the setup. The hall is spacious, with well-placed tables that strike the perfect balance—not too far apart to lose the energy of the place and not too close to compromise private conversations. A majestic, big TV dominates one side of the hall, with additional screens strategically placed for great visibility no matter where you’re seated—although a lamp slightly obstructed the view of one screen, which was a bit distracting. On the opposite wall, however, there are absolutely no screens. Adding another majestic screen on that side would really elevate the experience for everyone in the space.
The place was buzzing with energy and had a solid crowd for a Friday evening, which made it clear this spot is popular. It took a bit of time to get seated, but the ambiance and vibe of the place kept us entertained while we waited.
Once seated, it did take some time for the waiter to arrive, but when he did, he more than made up for it! Marcellus, our waiter, was fantastic—enthusiastic, knowledgeable, polite, and efficient. He truly elevated our experience and definitely deserves a shout-out. However, one of the waitresses was wearing a top that looked like it could fall off at any moment, which was a bit distracting and felt odd for the setting.
For drinks, I started with the Robbinsville Peach, made with my favorite Bourbon. My friends ordered Beer, Macallan 15, zero-alcohol beer, and a variety of mocktails. Each drink was flavorful, unique, and creative, leaving everyone thoroughly impressed.
The appetizers were the real stars of the evening. We tried the Wings with Thai Chili, Calamari, Garlic Bread, Cauliflower Wings, Portabella Mushrooms, and more. They were so delicious that we ended up ordering multiple rounds of these dishes! The food was exceptional—simply superb. We were so full from the appetizers and drinks that we didn’t even make it to the entrées, though we did split a few sandwiches, which were also excellent.
The only downside? They charged a mandatory 20% service tax (tip), leaving us with no flexibility on that front. While the service was great, it’s always nice to have the option.
Overall, Robbinsville Bar & Grill exceeded expectations. The vibrant atmosphere, delicious food, creative drinks, and excellent service make it a place I would highly recommend—with just a couple of minor tweaks to enhance the...

This "bar" doesn't know what it wants to be... It's not a sports bar, it's a mock upscale almost hipster type place, with a tiny bar (10 seats) and a few big screens showing sporting events. The decorations, a mix of Philly and New York teams with a couple Pittsburgh references are scattered about as if the owners wanted an upscale eatery, and didn't think it would work, so swapped to a sports bar half way through construction..
So 4 years in the making, the place finally opened. We went and decided to get 4 apps... The Bavarian Pretzel, these were over salted super pretzels and a quesco which was cheese wiz melted with some peppers in it. Gramdma's Meatball were storebrand jumbo frozen meatballs. Sorry, but if you call it Grandma's they better be handmade and have chunks of onions and peppers in it. The Mozzerella Half Moons, were once again storebrand frozen mozzarella wedges and they were over fried, so much so all the cheese leaked out of it. It was basically eating breading. Finally the Tandoori Poutine... Okay these weren't bad, but the fries were again clearly frozen, and there was no cheese curd on it. This was straight up melted mozzarella cheese over tandoori spiced chicken on fries.
Along with 2 beers this came out to 75 bucks before tip. So, 2 super pretzels, four frozen store brand mozzarella wedges, a small plate of fries, and three medium sized frozen meat balls was 75 bucks.... Anyone who say this place is 20 to 30 dollars is lying to you.
Oh, and the fiasco, the bartender didn't know magritas come with salted rims (the table next to us got them) the manager told the customers the bartender was brand new and didn't know any better... So why is she alone in the bar, when 10 servers and 2 managers on were duty doing next to nothing as there were 10 people in the place?
Also hearing the second manager yelling at servers that the owners need to get her a better system for seating guests while two guests are standing right there waiting for a table, was tacty...
Congratz, this local will not be coming back. There was so many other good bars and restaurants in the area, and you have literally no draw... Over priced, frozen food, limited beer selection (for a sports bar) and a more then confusing decore... Oh to make matter worse there are four toilets for customers... So, if you need to go, and the place is packed (not likely) you might need to run to the gas station next door. Keep...
Read moreTook my teenage son there to get a bite for lunch been seeing it in passing and finally decided to check it out. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to experience the food nor did we have a good experience with the staff. First we entered to be seated and 2 ladies were at the front talking to one another and took a minute before the acknowledged us to be seated once the lady seated us we literally sat there for 10-15 minutes while staff walked around us and acknowledged other tables and helped them and never came to greet us or anything. When we got there it was about 6 tables seated and all had their food and drinks we were the only table that had just arrived and needed tending to but know one came to help us. Once the lady came to introduce herself and take our drink order I realized it was one of the women who were in the front when we arrived and I hadn’t seen her on the floor until she came over to greet us. I was already a little frustrated because of the long wait time with no acknowledgment and everyone else being helped but the fact that the lady that was at the front talking about nothing to another employee was the waitress for us I decided to take my money elsewhere. That same lady could have seated us and took drink orders and started us off but they decided to seat us and make us wait while others were being taken care of and not even someone coming over to say “Hey, would you like to start off with drinks and your waitress will be right over!” This experience basically let me know this establishment didn’t need my money and I decided to go where someone would at least greet me and give me a good experience in their establishment. Also, this was embarrassing walking out and patrons looking at my son and I as we left with no food and knowing we didn’t get the correct service. And the worst part is that we were out to celebrate my son on becoming a new driver on the road so this was supposed to be a happy and memorable occasion but it was turned into a bad experience at...
