Nero's Grille
Now celebrating its 40th year, Nero"s Grille continues to be one of north-Jersey's most popular dining scenes. We combine the highest quality, freshest ingredients with a comfortable, familiar atmosphere and service that makes you feel like one of the family. Nero's has become the area's place to see and be seen. Three separate dining rooms, and outdoor patio dining as climate permits, provide a warm, unpretentious intimacy in which to enjoy our high-quality, moderately-priced American and Italian fare, while the large bar area buzzes with the energy of friends gathering over a favorite martini or a glass of wine from Nero's award-winning list. Private rooms are also available, and our banquet staff is noted for making special events 'extra special.' After four decades, the entire Nero's family continues to take enormous pride in offering our guests, new and old, a gracious welcome, a terrific meal, and our sincere appreciation.

"Food is always very good. Service is great. The crowd is excellent. This is our go to restaurant when we want to please everyone in the family or guests. From burgers to seafood to pasta and steaks, all the food is great quality and large portions. Very reliable."

"Got together with another couple for the evening, and thought why not give Nero's another try being we hadn't returned in 15 years. It was 15 years ago that we had a bad meal here, and once again it was mediocre at best. Don't think we will be returning. If I can give a positive on our experience it would be our waiter, he was excellent !"

"This place is sub-par. My first experience here was horrendous so we decided to try again on a weeknight. The waitress forgot our drinks and still charged us for them and she never checked on us. The food was just OK - nothing to write home about. The burger had some good flavor but the lobster roll left a lot to be desired for. I want to like this place, but it's over hyped."

"This is a nice choice for dinner. It is an easy going resturaunt good for a special family dinner. Not a romantic interlude. Good meal choices and most are good - not great. Service was a bit spotty, but staff was very pleasant. A little noisy when the resturant is full and the resturant is full most of the time."
