We ate at this eatery again today, this time for lunch. There were plenty of empty seats in the restaurant. They served us food quite quickly. We ordered bbq wings, pan seared salmon and shepherds pie . Everything was great! All the dishes were delicious. The salmon was just the way I wanted it, very tender and crispy on the outside. The staff was very friendly.

Excellent service(waiter was Brandon according to the receipt) and we were a complicated/ loud group that arrived at different times. He did an excellent job of checking on the table and keeping up with the orders during our time there tonight. Food was decent, portions were fine, nice presentation. I didn't need a full dinner, so I just had the Steak Disco Fries appetizer. St. Lavender drink was very good!

One of my favorite burgers on the planet. We have been going here for years and are never disappointed. My husband also likes all the food and service is great. If you are hungry and love a good burger you won’t be disappointed 🍔

I’ve been wanting to come here for sometime and finally got the chance. This place dates back to the 1700’s. It’s part of an historic village. At the main entrance there are two stairs and a ramp for anyone who is handicapped. The entrance is a bit tricky from the parking lot. You have to walk all the around to the front entrance or you wind up walking through one of the dining areas and bar to get to the hostess like we did. We chose to come early we didn’t have a reservation but we were seated immediately by a lovely hostess. ( I suggest making a reservation.) Our waiter came over and he was very friendly and pleasant. He took our drink order and gave us time to look over their menu. They have a nice selection of Signature Cocktails, IPA’s and Draft Beers and Wines. It was cold out so I decided to start with a bowl of their French Onion Soup, and it was delicious.My soup was loaded with two kinds of cheeses with a rich broth with a piece of toasted baguette topped with those cheeses. To go along with my soup I ordered their Lamb Sliders- 4 sliders with tzatziki, red onion jam, and arugula.My sliders were cooked perfectly, and that red onion jam was so good. My boyfriend started with their Deviled Eggs- pickled red onion, cucumber, green olives. They were creamy and delicious. For Entree he chose their Braised Lamb Shank Shepherd’s Pie.It had chunks of lamb creamed spinach, and topped with mashed potatoes.( This is not your typical shepherd’s pie.) It was served in a personalized cast iron pan. My bf enjoyed and said it was rich and filling. My daughter chose their Fun Guy Burger with Fries-Wild mushrooms, gruyere cheese, arugula and truffled aioli. She really enjoyed her burger it was cooked perfectly med-rare. We were full and didn’t order dessert. The decor is simple and classic, with several small dining areas. From the looks of things it’s very popular, it was 5 pm and packed. Rocky Hill Inn Tavern offers something for everyone. I look forward to returning.

Possibly the best burger in NJ... Trust a fat guy I've had burgers from all over the state. This historic spot has a ton of charm with a warm friendly environment with great service. Our bartender helped us make a selection from the abundant selection of craft and local beers. I had heard a lot about their burgers and the rumors are true. This place rivals the best in the state. And a damn tasty espresso martini for dessert.

The food was great! The beer was great! The service was great! The place could use a slight sprucing up. I would still go back.

Amazing!! The spicy burger and date appetizer were delicious. I also highly recommend the jalapeño margarita. Everything tasted so fresh and was made with care. The hosts were kind of rude but our server was attentive and had amazing recommendations. We will definitely be coming back

Rocky Hill Inn has been our favorite local place to get burgers for years... it has served the epitome of a great burger for years and has been a place we've recommended to many people over time. The staff is great and always makes us feel like family when we are there. We visited tonight after a couple months and were surprised to find that the burgers had completely changed. The meat was different, the buns were different... the burger was a shell of its former self and no where near what it used to be. I was there with a group of 4 that has visited many, many times before and we all, unfortunately, felt the same. It's sad to see the quality take such a nosedive on a beloved restaurant. We will visit again because we love this place, but do hope that whoever made these choices will change course sooner than later before they lose a lot of long time customers.

Stopped in for dinner last night and, again, had a terrific experience at the Rocky Hill Inn with tasty, freshly made food and excellent service. I had the Mutha Clucka ($17), a tikka masala-dusted ground chicken burger topped with a generous portion of shredded iceberg lettuce, tomato, and a slice of red onion, served with masaaledaar aioli on a kaiser roll.. which was VERY tasty (but VERY messy ... so keep your napkin handy). As usual, Rocky Hill Inn hits the mark for a great meal comprised of tasty and filling tavern staples in a casual ambiance at a very reasonable price.

Although everything we ate was very good, burgers and fish and chips, there were too many flies in the restaurant. Also, we had 3 kids with us. At 4:30ish on a Sunday they were out of chicken nuggets and substituted a small piece of fried chicken cutlet. That was perfect (since we suggested it). However for $9 it doesn't come with anything. Most kids meals come with fries or something to eat with it. So it is not kid friendly here. We were also charged for a side of bbq sauce (no one told us) for the fried chicken cutlet. Really? Even Mcdonalds does not charge extra. Like I said the food the adults ate was very good, but no need for us to return.

The 5 of us came for lunch and everyone enjoyed their meal. They're a tough act to please so that's really saying something. Pleasant, unrushed service. They take reservations. The hostess was skilled. Asked if my party can do stairs and explained the seating. They're in the outskirts of Princeton but about a 5 min drive to Princeton U. Free parking in back. Lovely looking historic inn. Sit downstairs where the fireplace (not working but cute) is. The tavern side is nice with paneled wood. Food was great. Terrific wings and deviled eggs. Smash burger and shroom burger were great. The lamb sliders, excellent as was the chicken pot pie. We'll be back.

My experience started off in a challenging way. It was my first time at the Inn & I parked in back. Not knowing where to go, I walked over the grass to the front. I was confronted with 2 steep steps with no handrail that led to steps that did have a handrail. I went back to my car to get my cane I use for these occasions & texted my friend who was inside. When I got back to the steps she directed me to the other side of the building with an entrance with handrail and steps. After I ate I was directed to yet another door that led right to the parking lot with a ramp. I then saw there was a handicapped entrance sign. I wish there had been a sign at the front pointing me there. It was an unpleasant start for my lunch. The restaurant is very nice with good service & an interesting menu. We shared a delicious baby arugula salad with beets and goat cheese. We also shared Buffalo meatballs and lamb sliders. Both were delicious, but we found it odd that you had to really appear the meatballs because they were so hard on the outside. They're were very tasty, though. The lamb sliders were delish. I think I would go back again. Hopefully the handicapped entrance will be better marked for newcomers.

Our meals were a huge disappointment. We have been here many times and on Sunday July 6 our dishes were awful. I had the fun guy burger and since they have NO GLUTEN FREE BREAD (who doesn't have gf bread in today's world of growing food allergies) I agreed to have my burger on a plate over what the menu says arugula. My burger was tasteless and flat like the frozen ones that come in a box. The meat looked gray. I know a homemade burger and this was not it. It was sitting on a sad looking bed of greens but surely not arugula. There were a few mushrooms sitting on top of the cheese that did not look anything like fresh mushrooms. All this for $18! Our iced teas looked like dirty water and were tasteless. My partner got the specialty pork burger that sounded really good when it was described by our waitress but was also tasteless and looked gray. The side order of fries were cold and not the least bit crispy. We asked for hot fries and yes the new order was hot but got cold in 1 minute or less and also had that weird non-crispy texture. We shared a creme brulee cheesecake for dessert. It was plain old cheesecake that was torched over the top so they could call it creme brulee and served over graham cracker crust...not impressed at all. I'd give it a 2 out of 5 at best We will not be back anytime soon. For a place known for its burgers they fell flat...very flat. What is going on here?!

Came here 11 years ago. Loved it. Came back recently. Was seated immediately. Beautiful inside. Classic American pub with fireplaces and wood. Great service. Pumpkin pie cocktail was delicious and strong. Food arrived quickly. All delicious. The Buffalo chicken meatballs were the star of the show. The slaw was house made and unique. The chicken tender. All covered in classic Franks hot sauce. The mutha clucka sandwich is super unique and well worth a try. A ground chicken burger covered in tikka Indian seasoning. The fries are lightly seasoned with herbs. I tried the fish and chips which I normally don't eat but I tried a bite and could tell it was well made. It was crispy light flaky and tender.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Rocky Hill Inn yesterday. I have wanted to try it since the DDD episode. I suggested it to my friend, I was so glad I did! The decor is so homey and inviting. Our server was lovely. Her name escapes me but, that is not a reflection on her. My brain! We ordered some seasonal drinks. They arrived quickly and were really tasty. The blood orange martini was one of the best I have had. The Washington Berry, sweet and yummy. Then, the food. Oh my, the food! The Disco Fries are to die for! The short ribs are so good and the gravy is really good. the thing that makes them so good, the onion jam! That natural sweetness on the salty savory fries, amazing! The Fried Green Tomatoes are served with tender lobster that is perfectly cooked. The Pot Pie, delish! The Fish and Chips, the portion mis huge and so perfectly prepared. I can't wait to visit again!

Not sure why I waited so long to try this place but glad I finally got around to it. Warning: make reservations or be prepared to wait on the weekends. We arrived an hour before our reservation and enjoyed some drinks at the bar. Speaking of, be prepared to stand in a rather small, crowded space. But drinks help you forget about that. I tried the grapefruit cocktail and they certainly didn't water that drink down. Next up, the main event! We started with the pork belly fries which were tasty and perfect for sharing. I got the burger with short rib which was delicious. The service was fairly quick and friendly; honestly I was shocked they didn't rush us out considering it was nearing closing time. I'd return to try more burgers but I'd prefer lunch or a weekday since parking here is very limited with barely any street parking in sight.

Rocky hill inn is one of our favorite Restaurants. Rob the bartender is always happy to craft new cocktails! The devils eggs are a delish appetizer. Our Royal Berger was served on the new sesame seed buns. We will be back soon. Thanks RHI.

The service and the food is great. Randomly discovered this place on a Friday night. Found parking right away, and they sat us within 5 mins. I guess we got lucky? I got the chicken burger and it was delicious. I cannot even describe the flavor since they think it's chicken tikka flavor but it tasted nothing like tikka. But i am not complaining, i loved it and would 100% come back and order again.

Very nice historic tavern on the outskirts of Princeton, beautiful woodwork, and great art on the walls, we sat apparently in the pig room . Appetizers were all good, including the Buffalo wings and the nachos. Be aware that the nachos are flour tortilla chips and not corn so the gluten-free member of our party had to miss out. I never think to ask because 99 times out of 10 nachos are made with corn tortilla chips. Smashburger was solid and the chicken sandwiches were a hit. If you like deviled eggs, try the appetizer! Service was pleasant and efficient.

Good food and service. Solid selection of drinks. Can get noisy, but that is fine. Since we have been there a couple of times, I'd say we like it.

For whatever reason we seem to only come here a few times a year, even though the food and atmosphere are great. There are a few things I absolutely love: the burgers are great, including the Mutha Clucka chicken sandwich, and the shoestring fries are top notch. There's always a good assortment of beer, cider, and hard seltzer on tap. And if you are lucky you can get a table on the small front porch and watch the neighborhood stroll by. Service is usually good though the restaurant is often busy and keeps the servers hopping. For the best experience, try to come on a weekday.

Nice little pub in a old inn/house. I had the spicy ass burger with a turkey patty and it was good but a bit salty. What I didn't really like was the fries, most of them were soggy boardwalk like fries. I prefer my fries really crispy and these just were not. My wife had the fried green tomato burger and she liked it a lot, but said the tomato didn't really add anything. Good spot, definitely give it a try.

Food: French onion soup was one of the best I ever had. Perfect onion to broth ratio, delicious broth and the crispy browned cheese- never seen it done to this texture. It was just a perfect texture and flavor combination. My burger was too lamby! I am a big fan of lamb meat but maybe it was me. Service: our waiter was also the bartender. He did not skip a beat. Very attentive and articulate. Value: it was very reasonable priced. About $30 per person. Parking: there is ample parking on the side. Definitely worth checking out. Try the onion soup for sure!

Everything was super greasy - nacho chips were homemade which is awesome but they absorbed so much oil from being fried and the amount of cheese was super underwhelming. Onion rings tasted like they were fried in old oil and the French fries were so greasy! Super disappointing.

Great food. Menu is simple but everything I've had has been fantastic. Service is always good. Great cocktail menu and rotating beer on tap. Vibe is perfect. Prob my favorite burger in NJ.

Cute spot. Surprisingly empty of a mid-afternoon Sunday. Why the hostess seated us next to a party of five in an otherwise empty room, but our able waitress helped us move. The deviled egg app was presented nicely, and were tasty. The fried green tomato appetizer was-superb. Our burgers lived up to the hype, fries snd onion rings quite good too.

12/29/2023 We've been wanting to come here ever since Guy Fieri showcased this place a while ago. Wow, he was right on the money. We started with the short rib disco fries and some wings to share between the four of us. I had their spicy burger, while my wife had the fried green tomato burger. My brother-in-law had a sirloin steak served as he requested and my sister had another burger although I can't remember which one it was, All I know is everything was really really, really good. Lots of great beers and wines to choose from too. We're all looking forward to coming back again here soon. Oh, and ask for Angi... she's a terrific waitress.

Definitely lives up to the hype. While away on business I was looking for somwhere to have a nice meal. I saw this place was about 20 minutes away and had lots of consistently great reviews. I decided to give it a try. I arrived at about 7:15 on a Wednesday night and parking lot was completely full. Luckily there is some street parking along the main road and I was able to grab a spot. I went in and was immediately able to get a table (solo). The place was surpisingly full for a Wednesday night. Almost all tables and most of the bar seats were occupied. This was a good sign that this place was good. The server brought over water and a menu. There were so many interesting options...but I decided to get a beer, the rocky hill burger and the venison chili. My beer was out in a few minutes and burger and chili (requested to be brought out together). The venison chili was good and just enough for a starter. The burger was amazing...cooked perfectly with fresh ingredients to compliment the beef...included a great bun. Prices were reasonable...my burger, chili and draught beer totaled $35. The space itself is nice. Lots of cool decor all around. All staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. I would love to return when I am nearby again to try some more things.

Not sure what happened to this place. It used to be one of my favorite restaurants. Went for lunch and was immediately greatest by an offensive smell in the dining room, following being sat at a dirty table with a very dirty glass on it, into which the waitress was going to pour water. I asked to change tables and was taken to a table where there was garbage, including smeared food on the floor. The new table had a napkin that was so old it was super thin and had strings hanging from it. At least the silverware in this one was clean. When my wine came out the wine was also in a dirty glass. On top of all of that the service was horrendous. Brought my appetizer before my drink, the burger and fries way over done... new management?

Came here on a Saturday night. We came on a busy night and as a heads up the parking lot can get very tight. I got lucky but if I arrived a few minutes later or earlier, I wouldn't have gotten lucky. We walk in and it takes us directly to the bar. I found the hostess to let them know we had reservations. We were early but the hostess said they'll try to get a table for us if one opens up earlier. Unfortunately, they were too busy so we waited by the bar. Even though the bar was fairly crowded, the bartenders did a great job servicing the patrons in a timely manner. They have a good selection of beers on draft and a few cocktails. Once our table was ready, we were seated. The hostess didn't really look for us, we had to go to them to ask for an update. Our server greeted us and I ordered the pork belly disco fries for appetizer and their special, Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The fries were really good. Nice and cheesy and the pork belly was cooked well. My only gripe with it was based on the price, it was small and only a few pieces of pork belly. Regardless, it did taste really good. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was also really good. I was surprised since I've been disappointed with hot chicken sandwiches outside of Nashville. I'm not saying it meets the same expectations as the original Nashville hot chicken, Rocky Hill Tavern did a great job with the seasoning and cooked the chicken perfectly. I enjoyed my experience at Rocky Hill Tavern and would make another visit.

Stayed just outside of Princeton the other weekend and needed somewhere to eat that wasn't actually on Princeton's campus - it was just a little too expensive and fancy for what we were looking for. We were looking for something that had more American fare and was open around 3:30. This fit the bill as it had burgers- my boyfriend's choice but also had a few nice dinner plate options as well. Also it was open when we needed it to be and didn't have to wait until 5pm like most places. The ambiance was pretty cool it's in an older I guess inn. The inside is dark and ambient. Definitely looks like a typical old tavern. Our waitress was super sweet , she was serving all the tables by the bar and there was a more fancy dining room as well. The place definitely has good seating. They had some tasty sounding specials. I also enjoyed they had a nice cocktail list - definitely not typical for a place like this and my boyfriend got a local beer. I went with the salmon burger which came with cucumbers and lemon aioli and pickled onions. It was a decent size patty and had really great flavor. I loved that it was a little bit lighter than a typical burger. The fries were unbelievably delicious - a little rustic and perfectly seasoned. My favorite! My boyfriend was going to get the fry app and then the waitress said he could sub his regular fries that came with his burger which he chose to do. He got the short rib disco fries which came with an onion jam - he raved about them! If we're back in Princeton again I'll definitely have to remember this spot because it was quality. My cocktail was also STRONG, definitely worth the money and tasty!

It shouldn't be so hard to find a good burger in NJ but that's the spot me and my mom found ourselves in last week while she was visiting from out of town. I remembered that my friend had been trying to get me out to Rocky Hill since before the pandemic for their beer and burger summer special so I suggested me and mom try it out. Kind of a crapshoot on a Friday night - when we walked in we caught the tail end of a conversation between a customer and hostess about the need for reservations on a Friday night. Luckily though they were able to seat us at a table for 2. The vibe in the dining room was warm and cozy - I enjoyed the mix of old and new. We both ordered burgers with side salads (blame the car snack of Mickey Ds fries we enjoyed on the drive over). The burgers were INSANELY good. I got the Cajun burger and wow awesome flavor. We finished with cranberry bread pudding which was seasonal and delicious. Service was attentive, beers were cold and refreshing. Round up: 2 burgers, Buffalo wings as an app, 3 beers, a Diet Coke, and dessert put us at $100 with tax and tip. Money well spent.

So glad we stopped in this gem just outside of downtown Princeton. The place looks like an old Victorian home on the outside with tables on the porch and a really warm interior with dining areas and a dark wood bar area. Great selection of apps and entrees that all in our party of four really enjoyed. The service was absolute five stars from beginning to end. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone coming into the area and looking for a nice place to eat and enjoy the company of family and friends. Five to ten minutes from downtown Princeton

I hadn't been to the Rocky Hill Inn in years. The vibe is still great and service was delivered with a smile. Apparently, the Burgers are the thing to order here. Practically every table around us had a burger and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his. If this review was strictly based on the burger, a solid 4 star experience. However, I went with the Salmon burger, which left a lot of room to be desired. It was dry and had an odd taste about it. The accompanying salad was fresh. The fries with the Royale were a bit soggy and salty and the Chocolate peanut butter cheese cake didn't live up to expectations either (it was more like a little cupcake). With all that said, we will be back again and may just stick to the burger menu. Interesting points of Note: An episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri was filmed here. The Inn was also used as filming location for movie IQ, which stared Walter Mattheu playing, Albert Einstein.

We had lunch on Sunday. The ambiance and the service were fantastic and the burgers, fries and salad were all great. Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a casual spot in the area. Even though we weren't partaking, I noticed that they had a pretty interesting beer selection as well.

Burgers so greasy they are hard to hold on to. Cobb salad, lettuce with 3 grape tomato halves, no egg and hardly any avocado, basically a bowl of lettuce. Fries sub par. Wedge salad was the only good thing we tried. Service was fine. Will not return.

Low rating because thought the food was okay, the service was very, very slow-- it took us an hour and a half to get our food and we had to cancel our to-go order.. Our waitress was excellent and professional so probably a problem with management and understaffing/overserving. Hopefully they get this fixed. Food was decent, drinks were okay.

Another Triple D location checked off the list. Hands down this place was incredible. Came in late during the week, and while it was a 20 minute drive from where I was staying, I am glad I made the trip. Gastropub in a nice classic inn / tavern environment. I decided on the pub burger with a fried egg, and disco fries with braised short rib. While a massive plate of food (chef laughed dropping it off at the table) it was absolutely amazing. Burger perfectly cooked, egg nice an runny. The onion rings and bacon were top notch. I'm not sure how I was able to finish it all off but it was worth it and memorable. Would easily take the drive again to try something else off the menu.

Great local place for a unique pint on tap, and we always get burgers which satisfy that itch.

The Rocky Hill Inn is truly a gem! The atmosphere here is incredibly welcoming, it has such a unique and historic feel. I can't say enough about how much I appreciate wonderful staff here, they go above and beyond to make sure that you are taken care of. The staff also offer wonderful recommendations on the menu! We've enjoyed an excellent meal here many times, and our favorite things to order are the disco fries, the BBQ wings, and the burgers! The wide selection of beers on tap and drink specials are awesome too! We can't wait to come back again soon!

5 plus stars for all the above! Even though the weather outside couldn't be more wet, this cozy and friendly pub made up for all that. Our server was wonderful, and managed our big party and thank you to the hosts for getting us our own little "room"! The food was great, a nice spin on classic favorites.

TLDR: casual spot with great classics at a great price I ordered a pub burger cooked medium rare with fries on the side. The burger was cooked to a great medium rare. Each of the toppings (cheese, onion rings, sauce, patty, bun) were given proper attention and done well. The burger came together well and was delicious. The fries came out crisp and hot. Rocky Hill Inn has a friendly atmosphere and great food at great prices. I'm a regular and will continue to be!

This restaurant remains as consistent with food and service since I've been dining here 7 years ago. The other day I had lunch with a friend and we were greeted by friendly staff and immediately directed to our table. I requested an iPA and our server, Nicole, made a good recommendation of an ice cold refreshing citrus flavored beer. It went well with the fish and chips, which was delicious. I ordered well done crispy fries but was disappointed with the soggy outcome. My friend had a burger which she enjoyed. The molten lava cake, however, is to die for! I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu!

It is the best burger I've ever eaten ! Between NYC and, a throughout NJ and the Midwest , the meat is so good along with the homemade fries!! Order the pub burger served with onions rings on top w/cheese!

Not the best first impression, but would try again considering many other good reviews. I ordered the spicy a@@ burger and the waitress recommended to get the cherry peppers on the side to lessen the spice so I did. However, the peppers came on the burger and the waitress didn't come check on our food for maybe 10-15 minutes. I asked for the burger to be cooked medium and it was rare and entirely pink when cut into. My brother got the pub burger cooked medium well and there was no way mine was medium in comparison to his correctly cooked medium well. I appreciate that it was a busy Saturday night, but I was a disappointed.

Been coming here for years before/after movies at the Montgomery theatre. Great service, great burgers, warm, casual ambience. Nothing fancy, just decent food and a neighborhood vibe.

This was right on the main road with a small parking lot, but plenty of places to park on the street. There was a bar and high top tables in one section of the establishment and another area specifically for dining. The menu was limited but had intriguing options available, specifically burgers and sandwiches. The service was okay at best. It took awhile for our appetizers to come out and it also took a good amount of time for our dinner orders to be placed. When our dinner came out, 3 of our dishes came out incorrect. It did not take long to correct, but the issues continued as the check had the wrong items on it. Mistakes happen, but no apology was even given to our party. It was disappointing to see. For appetizers, the buffalo chicken meatballs ($10) and flatbread ($13) were ordered. There were 3 meatballs present and they came with homemade coleslaw and blue cheese. They were not bad, a little hard, but packed with flavor. The coleslaw was a nice added touch. Regarding the flatbread, it was topped with pork belly, fontina, picked onions, arugula, and BBQ sauce. This was a little better. The crust was a little undercooked. However, the toppings were very tasty. The pickled onions combined with the pork belly and BBQ sauce made for a great combination. I had the Spicy A$$ burger ($13) as an entrée. The meat had Cajun seasoning and was topped with pepperjack cheese, frizzled onions, cherry peppers, and chipotle mayo. I ordered it medium and that was how it came out. The meat was seasoned appropriately and the toppings really brought the spicy aspect. There was a good amount of heat here. Overall, it was a satisfying burger. Regarding the fries, they were a little undercooked for my liking but were seasoned generously. I also tried the fried green tomato burger that had goat cheese, bacon jam, and mixed greens. The goat cheese was very powerful here, but I did enjoy the fried green tomato aspect. Will I go back? Possibly.

The food is excellent, the bartender was great, the place as a whole is wonderful. It's a little pricey, but it's a damn good place
