Krogh's Restaurant & Brew Pub

Lovely little pub near the lake. Service was excellent. We asked to be seated in a cosy booth and they accommodated us on a Saturday afternoon. The beer was lovely and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back.

I was looking for a restaurant with the view of the lake and it was a Monday windy day, so I only happy to sit inside and watch the lake from a distance. The pot pie was excellent, as well as the carrot cake. The service was the best, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for the area.

First time here for New Years day with family, and first and foremost, the location is great! Practically overlooking the lake. The woodwork inside is really nice and has a lively yet cozy atmosphere. The food was good too! Their Nachos were some of the best I have ever had. All of us were pleased with our food. Our server was great. We did order appetizers and lunch, and it all came out together it took about 30+ minutes, which was surprising since we ordered immediately and the crowd died down once we arrived. I'm not sure what the issue was. I do still recommend this restaurant and they do suggest reservations which we did.

beautiful place and tasty food! I visited this place with my hubby, brother and my dog. We looked around this area where is really beautiful and went to this restaurant. Because of dog, we sit outside which was nice with good weather. Their food was really good. It was not the lunch or dinner time so we just ordered some appetizer and beers. They have their own beer which my brother and hubby really loved. Nachos was really good. I didn't expect at all but very nice. The staff was very kind, too (and she loved the dog a lot haha) We had a great time in this place :) Thank you.

I recently dined at Krogh's Restaurant & Brew Pub for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. The French onion soup was absolutely delicious, rich in flavor and topped with perfectly melted cheese. The steak was cooked to perfection, and their seafood options were fresh and flavorful. The location was charming, and the restaurant's authentic design added to the overall experience. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!

My husband and I went there for the first time and so glad we did! I had a veggie burger with cheese, sautéd onions and mushrooms. It was so good!! My husband enjoyed the brisket burger. It was a nice size burger and cooked perfectly. Cindy, our server, was great and recommended the brussel sprouts side dish, which were dark and crispy and so flavorful!! Great vibe there also! Great first impression and looking forward to returning!

What a great lunch! The food was fresh and delicious. The Brisket burger was one of the tastiest I've had and the french onion soup was also excellent. Customer service was exceptional from the entire staff. The hostess was super friendly and informative about the restaurant's history. First commercial business in the area since 1927! Our waitress was very patient and friendly. Even the other waitress there took great care of us. Very clean, super friendly, great drink selection and great food! Highly recommend and will be coming back soon. Thanks to everyone there, we really enjoyed our lunch!

Just had lunch there. The veggie burgers were dry as a bone, with flavorless mayo on the side. Mashed potatoes were very good. Brisket burger and beers were very good as well. Mocktail lemonade was meh. Outside seating on ground floor was next to driveway with no plants or atmosphere. Inside looked very cool. I’d try it again. Service was attentive.

According to my 10 year old, our meal was delicious! Sat in a nice booth. She had kids steak and fries. $16 and it comes with a drink and a scoop of ice cream. I had a burger well done with fries. The fries were epic. We ate them in silence, that's how good they were. My burger was done exactly how I like it. My daughters steak was supposed to be medium and it looked more rare. She didn't complain though and said it was tasty. Service was spot on! Helpful but not overbearing.

Sparta, NJ - solid pub food & brewskis in a cozy log cabin tavern setting. We were recommended the wings so ordered a dozen: half garlic ranch and half Cajun dry rub, served with blue cheese. They're pretty meaty. I aced the food pyramid between the mac & cheese w/ short rib, fried brussel sprouts, and Three Sisters Golden Wheat beer I ordered (with a slice of orange). The brisket burger w/ cheddar & fries my husband had looked good, though he didn't understand why it didn't automatically come with lettuce & tomato, as he's a traditionalist when it comes to burgers. Service was friendly and family friendly. All in all a very satisfying meal. The restaurant is housed in a historic building right across from Lake Mohawk, and the rooftop bar is open seasonally with a view toward the lake.

It's a really cool looking restaurant rustic with a very nice bar when the weather is warmer there is a rooftop area drinks only no food served up there. The servers hostesses and bartenders are always extremely pleasant and nice to deal with. We have been here many times today we had buffalo wings, brussels sprouts French dip sandwich and a Greek salad. The Greek salad was OK. The wings are always very good. The French dip was very good and the brussels sprouts were excellent. I tried a couple of the local beers and IPAs and unfortunately again don't love their beers, but I keep trying new ones all in. I definitely will be back . Just wish I could find a beer there that I like I do recommend a visit.

The service was great. Let's start there. Very friendly people. The food was excellent. The waiter gave us some input and I wasn't disappointed. I'll be back.

A solid bar food location. Servers are just personable and nice. Great place for a quick simple bite to eat and a drink.

Krogh's Restaurant & Brew Pub was established in 1927 by Frede Krogh. They have a semi-rustic dining area called the" Gallery" and a rooftop bar called the "Krogh's Nest" which affords a view of scenic Lake Mohawk. Louvered windows & doors allow an open air experience, as well as, an outdoor patio. The brewery is adjacent to the restaurant while the bar area is comfortable, charming and reminiscent of days gone by. Krogh's is also pet friendly to well trained dogs which Oatie appreciates. Oatie and I stopped by on a beautiful Autumn day for a quick bite. I had the Cheesesteak Sandwich ($18). Sauteed peppers & onions, slices of cheese served on a Ciabatta roll. A good portion of steak, I might add. Cheese steak sandwiches pair well with 64 oz growlers, four sample flights and 10 oz. drafts from the brewery.

Vintage German style bar and restaurant... I would say it's a nice place for a watering hole, but the food is ehh. Great spot for a large gathering with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's rustic yet cozy.

This is great cozy restaurant in the area. We ordered Cajun chicken sandwich with a side salad. Enjoyed the environment, staff were friendly. It was a rainy day, otherwise we would sit in the second floor to have the lake view.

Amazing nachos (vegetarian option too). Love their beers. Hubs loves the welsh rarebit cheese sauce. We both love the falafels. Ambiance is so cool to w the woodwork creations!! Go!! it's an experience unique to Lake Mohawk!!

I recently went to Krogh's (yesterday) and once again had a very nice meal. The food was very good and the service staff did a wonderful job and were very friendly. Will be going back again. :)

My friend and I went to lunch and we both had the fiesta salad. It was delicious. It was very quiet because we were there at noon. Our waiter was very attentive but not intrusive.

This is a review that all restaurants should read. You should save a handful of tables for walk ins. Your a bar and grill- there should not ever be a situation where you have to turn patrons away. I saw empty tables but they are for reservations. I have been turned away twice from Kroghs and have no plans to ever go back - a place that can't take a family of 4 at 6pm!!! This is suburbia hell.

The food the service went great! The parking sucked! Took me 45 minutes to find a spot.

Great local spot with craft cocktails, character and good service. Staff is friendly and food is good. Casual!

Great food and service! One of my fave brewpubs! Parking can be an issue so get there early for your reservation

I always check the worst review before checking the best. In this case I found the worst very strange. This place was awesome! Friendly service, great bourbon selection and I didn't find it loud even though it was pretty full. The butternut squash soup was delicious, and the vegetarian nachos are fantastic. They were loaded with black beans, onions and peppers. A complete meal. Definitely worth a try and if we're ever in this neck of the woods we'll be back. PS. The soap in the bathroom smells great!

Great restaurant in a quaint neighborhood! In warmer weather, the outdoor seating is nice, and it's dog friendly!

Food was amazing, great service and the location has a great ambiance to it. I had the wurst platter with braised cabbage and loved it.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The inside is beautiful. Our waitress was friendly, everything we ordered was so good. I would definitely return!!

Came here with a coworker and will definitely be coming back. Service was excellent! Both the ladies that helped us were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was good as well! I had the french onion soup and the hawaiian pizza. The french onion soup was ok. Not the best I've had but not the worst. The hawaiian pizza was great though! The crust was excellent and the toppings were in good portion. As for the atmosphere, I arrived when the restaurant wasn't so busy so we had our choice of seats. We chose to sit in the area with lots of windows and sunlight and the view of the lake was beautiful (despite parked cars being in the way). I would definitely be coming back with other family and friends to try some other dishes.

The most amazing bruschetta I have ever had! Crave it daily! I don't know if it's seasonal.

5 stars! Thank you for bringing the old nachos back! Made our year! Will you please bring back the chicken fiesta salad too lol

Here's the deal : iconic place in lake Mohawk! Great pub food and delicious specials ! Parking very tough .

I was visiting a friend at Lake Mohawk, and she took a group of us to dinner at one of her favorite local spots, Krogh's Restaurant. The place was a historic mainstay of the town and seemed to be a real gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. In fact, it must have been very popular, because they added on a new wing that included an indoor dining area, a rooftop space, and a patio for extra space. We sat on the patio and looked into the more modern indoor addition, which we found too sterile (like a nursing home cafeteria) in comparison to the original, quaint inn just beyond it. Our server was a real sassy lady that we truly enjoyed chatting with. She made sure to check in on us frequently, though our food took quite some time to arrive. I had ordered the Arugula & Golden Beet Salad, which included those two ingredients, as well as chunks of fresh goat cheese, mandarin orange slices, and pine nuts (I omitted red onion), all in a sweet and homemade orange-raspberry vinaigrette. I also added Grilled Chicken to the dish, and they provided a generous amount of it. I really enjoyed the salad, which was hearty and flavorful. After finishing our entrees, we just had to sample their famous mud pies for dessert. Since we were already rather full, we wound up sharing a single slice of the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Mud Pie, which came as a massive piece that was certainly large enough to provide a few spoonfuls for each of us. The pie started with a chocolate graham cracker crust, which was topped with a thick layer of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, chocolate fudge, and whipped cream; it was HEAVENLY!! Krogh's might have appeared to be just another neighborhood pub, but it offered excellent food, served in a historic environment. ​

I'm happy to revisit an old friend!! Staff was really great and very attentive we got nachos for an appetizer and the Eminem burger. The food was served delicious and was very flavorful I really enjoyed mine macaroni salad and sandwich. and it's really sweet to enjoy a meal in this old old building in Lake Mohawk. It's a special place

We came only for drinks-we sat up on the rooftop bar-so fun and welcoming. A shout out to Matthew!! He was an amazing sever-so friendly, attentive; knowledgeable and kind!! All servers should be this competent. He would be a reason I'd come back. Hospitality of this caliber is hard to find. Cocktails were delicious, and the beer looked great too. Fun place-cute area too!'

Last Friday my Son and I visited Krogh's for lunch. It is a typical bar/restaurant. We were going to sit at a table, but the only occupied table in the area was filled with kids and unbelievably noisy; so we sat at the bar, which was a better choice. The space itself is rather cramped, even at the bar, but they also do have a small outdoor eating area. Their draft beer selection is excellent with a lot of good choices. If I am again in the area, I would return for a drink, but probably not the food. It was just okay. My Son ordered a smoked salmon sandwich which he liked and I ordered a blue cheese burger. Typically they didn't get the burger right and served it well done when I had ordered medium rare. It wasn't the worse burger I have ever eaten, but it was rather dry with some crumbled cheese on top. I think they could have done a better job with this. The bartenders were friendly and efficient, which helped make the experience somewhat enjoyable, but overall I just didn't find the place very interesting.

Got snacks that were so burned. Nacho and pretzels. Are they that difficult? They used to be good but I think we are done. So very disappointing and we were forgotten in the back room. Happy birthday to me.

Great service from a server who was working just his second day! Clearly he's a professional restaurant worker. A recent visit was my 4th or 5th time and I have had the same issue: too much salt! Salads are always safe (obviously) but sometimes I want something more. This time I ordered French onion soup and a side salad. (Oddly enough, the typical cheese they melt over the crock is Muenster. I asked for Swiss instead. Why not use Gruyère?) By the time I was halfway through, I realized the soup was overwhelmingly salty. I'm just so disappointed that most restaurants rely on salt as a substitute for low and slow flavor development. My husband was very happy with his Mac n cheese with pulled pork--specifically because the sauce wasn't overly sweet. I agreed but did think the pasta was a bit overcooked (I like al dente even with baked pasta). The draw of Krough's apparently is their array of craft beers. Since I no longer drink alcohol, I can't attest to them. But I'm told I WOULD like them!

This place is so overrated that it's unbelievable. Rotten wilted salad sent out without any hesitation. Lasagna is gross and inauthentic. Kids pizza is a frozen stupid mess about 4 inches in diameter from ShopRite. Wings are gross. Store bought bad Thai chile sauce with half the wings undercooked. Chicken parm -dry and gross. This is bad diner food .

This place is just ok. I don't understand the great reviews as we have been here several times hoping for a better experience and every time it's underwhelming. Today as always the French onion soup doesn't have enough cheese but tons and tons of onions. The obvious reason is onions are cheap. Cheese isn't !! The turkey they use tastes so gamey!! I don't know if they cook it or just use deli but it has an awful taste. There is so much they could do to improve the quality of the food.

We live nearby so Kroghs is a go-to. Good food and drinks, friendly service and a cozy environment. There's sometimes live music which is fun. Their home brewed gold ale is my favorite beer they make! Vegetarian entrée options available, too.

The family decided to try lunch at Krough's Restaurant in Sparta, New Jersey. Upon arriving we ordered falafel wrap, fish and chips, reuban, and a cheeseburger. First of all the family agreed that their lunch selections were fantastic, not one problem. Secondly, from my viewpoint as the one who will be paying the bill, the service was exemplary, and every one of my family's requests was promptly addressed. So the family seated at table #2 on 10/25/23 at 12:13pm would like to thank the wait staff for a great experience.

SPARTA: Krogh's Restaurant & Brew Pub is located in a historic building dating back to 1927 in a very charming town across from the beautiful Lake Mohawk. Leashed dogs are allowed at their outdoor seating with views of the lake and downtown area. There is a pub style menu with sandwiches, wraps, paninis, burgers, platters, and best of all, they brew their own beer! They have 7 of their own craft beers on tap and a few guest beers, ciders, and a full bar menu! Every month they feature one beer where every dollar sold from it will be donated to a local non-profit or charitable organization. This is definitely a fun place place to visit up in northwestern NJ!

Great local pub - love the food and vibe, especially with the addition of the rooftop. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, it's all really elevated bar food that they clearly put time and effort into.

We got the French onion soup, chicken riggies, nachos supreme and chicken wings. The French onion soup and the nachos supreme were the highlights. The chicken riggies and the wings are a pass. Also, my bf got sick that night which might have been from the wings. That said, I loved our waitress, had good food, and liked the ambience.

The food here is tasty and better than bar food. We have been here a few times and love sitting in the treehouse setting if it's available! The staff are nice, there's a Karen who is particularly great w kids and went out of her way to find an extra long French fry in the kitchen to impress my boys! We always go here when we go to Sparta! It's a tradition

Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday midday. They were just opening so we were seated quickly. It is a nice place. Started with the house wheat beer which was okay and a plate of wings. The wings were solid. Meaty and flavorful. I got the house burger medium rare with their house made beer cheese sauce. The burger was medium rare on the inside, but a bit burned in the outside which took away from the flavor of the burger. I thought the cheese sauce was just okay, I bit grainy. I was bummed because the concept was really good. The fries ware solid.

I really like coming to this place for the woodsy pub atmosphere. they are also building a rooftop area too which is exciting we only got apps. the potato skins were extra crispy and delicious. a little hard to cut but easier to hold and eat out of your hand. the el grande large nachos were super flavorful and even though the chips got soggy they still tasted delicious.

very poor cold food over cook service very slow Wait 45 minute for 4 burgers cold and over cook

Krogh's is a solid place, I haven't been there in a while and I forgot that the atmosphere is pretty cool, they also opened up a new space with more windows so you can see the lake and a rooftop as well. Food is always decent and the vibe is always good. We got the tater tots which were pretty good a small serving of 5. And I got the classic burger which was decent as well. The fries were really good! Beer is good here too, we went with the 3 sisters!

this place was great!!! its very cool looking inside nice ambiance... we sat at the Bar I had a wine and my husband had a beer testing was great testing beer.. they make they own! love the food we did the homemade tote wow and lamp lolly pop very good the nachos was very big and good and the fish and chips very good. everyone was happy and the bartender Madeline was great !!!very nice lady she made are day THANK YOU WE BE BACK

If I could split my review I would do it like this: Service 4 stars Food 4 stars Kroghs Brewed Beer: No Stars The food is good, crispy, tasty, well seasoned and good pub type food. The Brews are bad, tasteless and over priced. If you go, save yourself the disappointment and just get a bud light... it's bad but you at least know how bad it is...

Always a great place to grab a bite to eat. The staff is always welcoming and the food is delicious.

We were driving back from a weekend away, got hungry along the way and happened across this jewel of a brewery with a fantastic variety of all your favorite bar foods and more! The service was beyond excellent, attentive and very welcoming. Great bar set up and their own brews. We ordered so much food we were certain they placed bets on us not eating it all -- and well - we pretty much cleaned all of our plates. So happy we sampled a few dishes and can't wait to return. The only drawback is offering rather outdated restrooms which don't match the rest of the ambiance. A bit not so happy with the fries and onion rings - not sure what oil was used - but otherwise great place and can't wait to get back. Oh - and great music!!

We've just visited this past weekend. We told them we were looking at wedding venues and the bartenders were so incredibly sweet! We will absolutely back and recommend to anyone coming to the area! 10 out of 10!

Made reservation for 4 before a show in Newton. Place was hopping but sat right away. Hadn't had a burger in a while and they didn't disappoint. Cooking perfectly! We were all pleased with our choices and will definitely return. Sat in preferred dining area instead of gallery.

Ok, in a previous review, i wasn't so positive but yesterday i came here with a friend of mine. And had a great lunch. The hostess, and waitress were excellent and the food was delicious. I had the chicken fiesta salad and could only finish half, i was a nice portion. The ambiance is really cool and ill most likely be back.

I love the look of this pub. It looks like it belongs in a classic German village with its classic, wooden decor. We got it just about when they opened for lunch on a Saturday. Within minutes, the whole outdoor seating area was packed. Lots of families rolled in, so we felt comfortable right away. I had a couple of flights; one was the seasonal selection and the other was the specialty brews. I enjoyed the specialty beers much more, particularly the blueberry wheat and red ales. Most of the seasonals were fine but I think the nut brown has too strong of an alcohol taste. The burgers certainly satisfied. I opted for the spicy buffalo burger (that's burger made from buffalo, not buffalo sauce on beef). It was well flavored and juicy. My wife had a regualr burger with mushroom and cheese. I had one bite but it didn't do it for me. She was quite happy with it though. Our service was attentive and even took orders from our 2 year old. He ate half his hamburger, which is pretty good for him. I do not live close but I would certainly return and then follow the visit with a walk around the lake.
