Way slicker than your average diner.
You won't find boring milkshakes and burgers here. Their menu is intense... innovative apps like bacon wrapped hot dog sliders and mini lobster rolls. Decadent entrees - lots of different steak and seafood options. Burgers, gourmet salads and pastas, boozy shakes. The list goes on and on. The restaurant is set up to look like a flashy old school diner and they pull it off well.
The menu was a overwhelming! My fiance knew he wanted a classic burger and fries, but I took a bit longer to settle on my order. I went with the macho salad - rotisserie chicken, avocado, goat cheese, corn, dates, tomatoes and thick and crunchy cornbread croutons tossed in a tangy vinaigrette. The salad came served in a massive bowl and was filling and delicious. The rotisserie chicken was moist and well seasoned and was definitely the highlight of the salad bowl. My guy's burger was juicy and dripping with cheese. I really liked the side of thin and crunchy shoestring fries. The only downside is price - expect to pay over 20 dollars for a burger or salad. Luckily the hearty portions made up for that.
I'd suggest making a reservation. We didn't, and were only able to sit at one of the high tops and not in the main dining room. Completely fine, but I also didn't expect this at 9 PM on a weekday. So call ahead for sure. Denville Dinerbar is a great spot for quality food in a trendy environment. I have a feeling that it's impossible to go wrong with anything on this menu.
