Welcome to New Jersey's Legendary Steak House

Rod's Steak & Seafood Grille, an area landmark and winner of New Jersey Monthly's 'Best Steakhouse' award, offers dinner daily.

The restaurant's design of rich wood paneling and highly polished brass, lends a classic elegance to the sophisticated atmosphere. For an intimate and unique experience, dinner aboard the private Parlour Cars is sure to be remembered. Formerly the private domain of the rich and famous, these beautifully refurbished, turn of the century railway cars are exquisitely complimented by the cuisine of Rod's esteemed Executive Chef.

Food and service were excellent as always. Blue Soul was playing at the bar which was perfect dinner music and we also stayed for a drink at the bar after. It was a great anniversary. Thank you for the cake!

The Tavern is a great alternative to the formal Rod's dining room experience. A varied menu with many of Rod's best selections plus other great items not served in the dining room. A casual restaurant with fine food and service you would expect at Rod's.

This place still isn’t what is was when the Keller family owned it. The food is pretty good but the service is so inconsistent. The time it takes to get a bartender’s attention, and then get a bill, is unacceptably slow.

Fantastic experience. Went for lunch and it was WONDERFUL. Service was AMAZING. From being greeted upon entering and seated, to anyone who served us, it was pleasant, friendly, professional, and so attentive to us...yet gave us space and time for privacy. The food was great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Been to many high end steak houses, this one missed. My husband ordered steak with herb butter. When has that ever been a side. The steak wasn't hot enough s putting butter on it was a waste. I had the sliced tenderloin it was overcooked. The carrot cake was amazing.

Over the hill. So many pieces missing - hiding valet, sad self-serve coat room, no somm / beverage professional, and a poorly trained serving staff. When we arrived a bit early the host was able to seat us because it was “dead upstairs” on a Friday night at 7pm. If seated upstairs, avoid tables near the stairs as the floor and table reverberates with each step. Food was a solid okay but disappointing: basic wedge, mealy and dry shrimp cocktail, steak was fine and cooked correctly, and sides were the star - especially the German potatoes. In general it felt like cost cutting measures from the past 20 years have accumulated to a subpar experience.
