Welcome to New Jersey's Legendary Steak House

Rod's Steak & Seafood Grille, an area landmark and winner of New Jersey Monthly's 'Best Steakhouse' award, offers dinner daily.

The restaurant's design of rich wood paneling and highly polished brass, lends a classic elegance to the sophisticated atmosphere.

For the price it was not the best food. It was not bad just not great. The ambiance was the best part. Very interesting setting. Service was great too.

Seated in the train car and waited 30 min for someone to take drink order, then had to track a waiter down 15 min later to take dinner order. Food was mediocre at best. Charged NYC steakhouse prices and no where near the quality. After dinner had to track someone down to get bill. No one ever came to table to clear or offer dessert. We will never be back

Calamari app was fried in old oil and tasted old . Shrimp and crab app was basic and small - 2 shrimp and 4 crab pieces for $21 . Surf and turf - well a poorly made frozen lobster tail and decent filet - but over priced . A lot of salt used in cream spinach and mushroom sides . Old restaurant with history but fast becoming history in its own right

Great meal except for the steak which was a chewy and fatty; not worth the price. The rest of the meal was fantastic especially the lobster Mac and cheese. Atmosphere is great. Including a piano player. Overall an awesome experience; I’ll be back; but won’t throw down 60 bucks for a chewy steak. Instead I,ll stick to the Appetizers, fish a cocktails.
