The Ship Inn Restaurant and Brewery

I have not been to The Ship Inn for years. They have updated their menu. There are a lot of comfort foods available. These are all delicious. I would prefer a few more healthy options. I had the salmon with spinach, which was good but the spinach was swimming in butter. Very yummy, just not very low-cal. The service was good and the prices were decent.

Great food, beer, and atmosphere. We always have a positive experience when we come here.

Charming atmosphere, upscale British/German pug grub, great music play list. Lots of locals. Quick food service, clearly they have a chef, not just warmed frozen food. Beer is their thing, but they have a good, albeit short, wine list and solid cocktails. Friendly staff. Overall a great place.

Me + a long time friend had a fantastic lunch. Our bartender Andy took great care of us. Always a pleasure to hang out here.

So this is apparently the oldest craft brewery in the state of NJ. Points for history. We were very impressed with everything. The food was awesome German cuisine. The server (who was also part of the family that owns the place) explained that it used to be exclusively English cuisine. When they purchased it a few years back, they added some German and Polish food to the menu.
I got the German sausage platter. Lamb, chicken apple, and kielbasa. Awesome. It included home made schnitzel.
The decor is very old pub. It's nice. I also enjoyed the beer. The Pheasant Plucker (say that correctly after 3 of them) was tasty. Served cool, not cold, it's a dark beer brewed with molasses. Super smooth and tasty. Great experience.
