I haven't been to the Giant in quite a while, but this Sunday I decided to pop in to escape the gloomy windy rainy day. I'm glad I did! After a long day of touring around the city with my aunt, we were looking for a place to kick back and have a drink and a snack. We each had a glass of the Valpolicella and we shared an order of nachos. My aunt wanted chili, but I'm really allergic to MSG. The server made a point of checking with the kitchen staff and she assured me it was MSG-less. Taking my chances, I indulged and am pleased to say that I was just fine.
I've have been to the Jersey Giant many times and have tried all sorts of things on their menu. Nothing has been mind blowing, but everything has been enjoyable. It's comfort pub food, and there's nothing wrong with that. The service is good, the portions are plentiful, and the booze selection is decent.
If it was closer to my home, I am certain I'd be there more.
