PINE TAR BAR & GRILL - American restaurant in Forked River - 121 S Main St, USA

Food is pricey with zero flavor executed by rookie Chef Ray. Macaroni & Cheese balls are disgusting bland frozen balls. The penne vodka was overcooked & tasteless. Frozen quesadillas, bottled blue cheese, awful disco fries, too thick of cut on the pork roll on the sandwich as if I'm eating a ham steak. Also bottled ranch, bottled beer cheese nachos that are both terrible. You seriously gotta get drunk before eating here. Decent fries & chicken wings are basically the only edible items on the menu. Just a bland tasteless menu. A sports bar on Sunday on game day and there's a bunch of open seats at the bar & the dining room didn't even have a soul in it that alone should've made me turn away.

If you get the chance, try the brisket wrap, or the brisket burger and the brisket nachos!!!! Smoker is on-site, cooked on site, melt in your mouth... on-site!!!! Waitress was a complete sweetheart!! Cant believe I would come all the way from the BBQ Capitol of the World (North Carolina) to fall in love with the best BBQ in New Jersey!!

I was shocked tonight when I ordered a club soda with lemon and was charged $4.25. The bartender said with his back towards me, looking backwards that I could get a second one. I did not order or want two sodas. I was thirsty and leaving shortly. Sorry I do not drink alcohol and drive. My friend ordered the meatballs. She said they tasted good. But at a cost of $13.00 for 3 medium sized, frozen balls, they have better tasted good. On a good note the cheesey crusted pizza is yummy.

Came here for a beer after I had my first ever pedicure next door! Boy that was great. But anyways the vibe here is chilling nothing out of the ordinary. Just another great bar with good food and beer. Greetings from Miami 👋

We stopped in here on an early Sunday afternoon & had a really great experience. We sat outside by the bar and the vibe was great. Ordered a burger and a steak sandwich with some beers. Both were delicious! We will definitely be back.

We went tonight and had a wonderful experience. We were sat immediately at a really cute whiskey barrel table near the bar with a great view of the tvs(for those that want to watch sports) and were greeted almost immediately by our server/bartender Nicole. She is attentive, knowledgeable, and personable! The food was all so unique and great! I appreciate the thought that went into the recipes, the food wasn’t just basic you can tell thought went into the recipes. Overall great environment, wonderful staff, and awesome first impression. We will be back!

Brisket sandwich was excellent and a nice large portion with fries. Shrimp BLT Po Boy sandwich was also quite good and large. The Taylor ham and egg sandwich again was a large portion and enjoyed by my daughter. Nachos were also good

This is hands down the best sports bar in the area and possibly the best in all of New Jersey. The food is fantastic and the people who work there really make it a special place. It’s a bar and restaurant so don’t hesitate to stop if you want to just have lunch or dinner I take my 6 year old often and he loves the pizza. Then I enjoy the adult night out at the bar once a week and it never gets old great spot. Oh and they’ve added an outside bar now that the warmer weather has arrived.
