Typical dive bar with a really good burger. Went with some family and friends and we all got the same thing Bacon cheeseburger with steak fries and wings. The burger was huge and that didn’t take away from the flavor. The wings were solid. The service was so so, but it seemed as if there were only 2 people serving on a Saturday afternoon and they were doing the best they good. The parking situation is a little tough but they do have a free small parking lot. All in all definitely a must try if you love burgers.

Classic old-school Tavern serving freshly prepared food . Classic 12 oz Burger doesn't disappoint. No special sauce needed !!!!! the quality of the meat of the stands out. Medium rare perfection with a fresh roll, plenty of juice. Onion +Tomato only.. Juicy, flavorful.. served with fresh steak 🍟 fries. Great service as well

Excellent food. This is a pretty cool dive bar with some of the biggest burgers you'll find in NJ. All hand crafted marvels of meat (pause). Everything is made to order and you can taste the passion in each bite. Good service, very attentive staff, and they make you feel like a regular. Definitely glad I tried this spot out today and can't wait to return.

Usually don't give 5 stars to a dive bar but the burger and service is so darn good how could i not.... totally go there and vet any burger. You'll never enjoy another burger anywhere else the same again. Had the beacon cheeseburger a few month ago, today went for pizza burger. Insane!!

Went the other day for lunch with a group of firefighters I work with. We are burger snobs. This is the place to go. Staff is incredible and the burgers are 2nd to none. If you like burgers, put this on your list of must go’s.

I've been coming to Krug’s for years, and the food never disappoints. The burgers are hands down some of the best around—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can always count on Krug’s for great, classic comfort food. That said, the service during my most recent visit left a lot to be desired. Our waiter made us feel rushed from the moment we sat down and acted as though we were a burden rather than valued paying customers. It really took away from what’s usually a great experience. I love this place and want to keep supporting it, but it’s important that the staff—especially longtime servers—show a bit more patience and hospitality. A little more time and attentiveness can go a long way.

My husband and I LOVE Krugs Tavern. It has become our go to sports bar and favorite location for after work libations. Come as you are. This is a welcoming no-frills bar. We love it. We have probably ordered everything from their menu and can’t complain about a single item. We recommend the employee sauce (secret sauce) on either their wings or shrimp. The underrated item on their menu is their pickle. It is seriously crunchy and delicious. Their burgers are delicious but very filling. My warning to large tables is that the kitchen cooks to order, so expect items to come out at different times. Free Parking is in the rear (not side) of the building (turn on Napoleon Street).

The worst place I have ever visited. We didn’t touch the food, but the manager said he couldn’t cancel the order. Calling it a “dish” or “food” would be a stretch. Zero customer service. The only good thing about this place is the beer. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Waiting over 40 minutes for a salad, yet overcooked shrimp and squid will arrive sooner. Avoid this place. Dirty dishes, no management.
