Garvey's Family Restaurant and Pub

Garvey's is one of those fantastic dining locations off the beaten trail in Monroe Twp., NJ. Located at 405 Spotswood Gravel Hill Rd. on a 30 acre farm is this local favorite that serves up delicious dishes of seafood, steaks, chicken & more! Besides being a legendary eatery Garvey's also hosts a large bar where families and corporations have celebrated those special moments of joy. Tuesday nights Garvey's is the place to be if you're into car & truck cruises nights, hosting the event every Tuesday April through October. Whether at the bar or sitting fire side you will love the Garvey's Family experience.

Absolution wonderful place. It has amazing Puerto rican food. The portions are large and the desert is to die for. It's small and homey and the staff is really nice. If you looking for real classic puerto rican good then you should try this place. I suggest the alcapurrias or quesi frito as an appetizer.

We stumbled upon Garvey's accidentally and it turned out to be a very happy accident. Lacking adornment for the winter it didn't look like much from the outside but the inside was very warm and cozy. The employees were friendly and one even joined us at the table and consented to having our young daughter draw his portrait on the back of a place-mat. The food was inexpensive, served quickly, good quality and tasty. I'm looking forward to sampling more of the fares on our next visit. When we were wrapping up a large group came in and we noticed they were treated to the same high level of service. We'll definitely be back!

We walked in and were greeted by a man in a mismatched suit who said after a long pause 'whatre you up to?' Then gave us an unrequested tour when we got our menus. 5/5 would take tour of the band wall again. Food was good service was good. Didn't know what a grinder was.

We like to sit at the bar and have snacks and drinks. The BEST night to go is for karoke. I've seen some pretty amazing performances, and no, I'm not being sarcastic! There's large rooms for private parties as well. Nice cozy neighborhood place for sure.

We aren't from the area and the place looked from the outside like it may not be family friendly so I kept the pack in the car and scoped it out for our lunch spot. No one was there but two women that appeared to be in conference about restaurant details. The inside is VERY DIFFERENT from the outside. Several spaces carved out made the large area feel intimate, we sat by the large gas fire (perfect after hiking in winter drizzle)at a seasonly decorated table with years of knick nacks and personal history on the walls. Though it feels cozy it could handle a several large parties or an event. Invite the owner to sit with you and tell you some stories. He posed for my daughter while she drew his portrait. The feel is a bit quirky and very cozy, very warm and welcoming. All three of us found the food to be deliscious. I have food allergies so dining in an unknown place always feels like an adventure. I felt confident at Garvey's that my server and the cooks communicated well and I FELT GREAT at and after the meal. (I wish I could say the same for most restaurants but I can't.) Our family looks forward to eating at Garvey's the next time we're in the area. I hope this gem hangs on for a long, long time. While we were enjoying our stay (perfect place in the daytime for friends to catch up) we saw a family come in and book a party and a local wrestling team, coaches, and parents kicking back and enjoying. This is the grandparent's home you know you can be comfortable, accepted, and well fed. LOVE

Love the food especially the new menu the son and staff came up with. The daily specials are awesome. Family friendly Atmosphere. Live music every night after 8 PM car shows on Tuesday senior meals on Wednesday and everything on the senior menu is 10 a plate and that’s with soup and salad. Things of change for the better since the sun started helping the Mom being the father is ill so keep Mr. Garvey in prayer

Garvey’s has been a landmark of Monroe, NJ for many decades. A family run business that is inviting and admired by many. They continue to have live entertainment,7 car shows and karaoke. Some of the best bands in the world have visited and played at Garveys. You don’t believe me? You can get a cold drink or two and see all of the memorabilia showing the bands and musicians who have played here.
