Good Deal Gone?

by adag1959

I am not a frequent patron of 199, maybe 5 times a year. The food is good. The lobster did seem kind of small compared to before? Price did go up. Dinner, two drinks and tip, $30-35 for one? Service is friendly.

Don't know why it is CASH only in todays swipe card society.

• Pros: Steamers still top notch
• Cons: Prices went up

This was a better deal... still pretty good.

I have been to this place before. I remember the prices being less and for the cash only, picnic table seating it seemed fitting. NOW, for four of us it was $140 and to be honest the lobster seemed smaller than before... clams were still excellent. Service is like the environment there... basic... so it’s still good food, just not a deal anymore. I will not be going back there any time soon.

• Pros: Food is still top notch, great clams, lobster taste great
• Cons: Lobster seems smaller and prices went up!

Fresh Lobster

by theabbey

I was in NJ, alone, for a ten day job in Peapack. Someone said, "you will be amazed" at Pub 199. They were right.

The 1-1/4 lb whole lobster was sweet and brought memories of New England long ago. [taste and $$] Since I was alone I asked to be seated in the middle of the room where families were enjoying themselves.

Good but bare bones service. Enough food to fill. And, if I am ever in the area again I'll bring Dorothy and a camera [for the zoo on the walls]

• Pros: Excellent Fresh Lobster; $$
• Cons: None
