Reviews for Pickett's Village Bar in Maplewood, NJ
We've been meaning to go here for a while, and we finally made it a priority to stop in and check it out. So glad that we did.... We had a great experience. The staff is super friendly and very accommodating, The food is really good. We ended up ordering acouple of appetizers such as the chicken wings as well as the calamari. For the entrees we stuck to the burgers, which wereserved with the standard french fries. I have to say that the burgers were really good and cooked exactly the way that we wantedand overall just had great flavor. I can't say enough about the wait staff. Everybody was just super accommodating and verynice. Really very lovely people. The atmosphere was not like your standard sports bar, although they were plenty of TVs on thewall with various games playing. They actually had a very nice atmosphere with a good selection of music in the background, butit was very easy to have a conversation about whatever without having to raise your voice. It was a very cool atmosphere. Thisis certainly going to be on our list of places to haunt from time to time. Looking forward to the next time Read more

Racist establishment! I visited pickets village bar on a Thursday evening with two of my friends. I made reservations for the... patio. When we got there, the hostess took us to the tent. I told her to please sit us on the patio because that?s where Ispecified I wanted to sit when I booked my reservation. She sat us on a small high top. I asked to be sat at one of the largerpicnic tables because we are three girls with all our hand bags the table was a little small. I believe it was the manager whocame out and told us those tables were for people with reservations. I told him I did have a reservation and he proceeded tosay the picnic tables are for larger groups with reservations. I said ok. About 10-15 mins later a couple, both of them whitewere seated at the picnic table, then later two other white women were seated at another picnic table (the same table that hesaid was for larger groups). the picnic table directly behind me and my other BLACK friends remained empty the entire time wewere there. Needless to say this establishment is RACIST. We won?t be going back and do not recommend. The food was just ok. Read more
Outstanding! We had a great family dinner here and tried a little bit of everything (pizza, burger, tacos, salad cocktails,... wine). Very broad menu, so definitely something for everyone. Food and drinks were excellent and the service was top notch. Read more
Outdoor dinner for four adults and one toddler on a rainy summer Thursday evening. Nice under-tarp seating and distancing. Rear... of restaurant seating. Arrived just before dinner crowd. Outdoor tables became filled. Bar could not provide requested mezcalalthough listed on menu. Food a little slow in arriving. Atmosphere conducive for conversation. Would return. Read more
One of my friends and I met up here to catch up. When I arrived at about 4:30 I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and... they were just opening. I was greeted and decided to sit at the bar. The spot was so cute and spacious, also they had indoor andoutdoor dining. I was told they were having a band that night as well as they frequently do. Our bartender was Ray and it washis first day but he did so well and kept his composure. For my drink I ordered the fresh made red sangria and that wasn't badat all. My friend ordered a glass of white wine which she enjoyed. For my meal I ordered the beyond meat burger with fries andthat was good and filling. *This bar has a lot of vegan and vegetarian options fyi.* I also ordered the malbec wine and that waspretty tasty. My bill was very affordable. I must say I felt well treated at this spot and I will definitely return for anothervisit. Read more
Came here for the first time a year ago and absolutely loved it! They have happy hour drinks /food from 4 to 6pm, including $10... pizza (cheese or Margherita), $1 hot /teriyaki/BBQ wings (minimum 8) and a nice selection of draught beers! We ordered calamari,hot wings, beers and the apple cobbler (with vanilla ice cream and bourbon caramel!). Everything was so amazing! Second timehere we ordered some cocktails, bang bang shrimp and burgers; simply amazing. The bartenders/ servers were super friendly andconversational and the place itself was really nice and clean. I loved it. Definitely coming back! Read more
We've always been fans of Pickett's, but this weekend they proved why they are the best of the best. Long story short, we called... them on Friday because the venue where we were supposed to host a party for 150+ told us at the last minute they were unable toopen. Nick and his team scrambled into action and put together an incredible event on 24 hours notice. The food was great, thestaff was great and we couldn't be more grateful. Pickett's is a class act and we're lucky to have them in our community. Read more
