Restaurants near Rutgers New Brunswick

The best steakhouse in NJ and none other comes even a close second in comparison. The Boss in his RED Steakhouse 85 logo shirt, the staff simply amazing. Went with two kids and 6 adults and they treated us with so much patience with my allergies to seafood and my wife being a person who does not eat read meat ( go figure). The food you ask? OMG the bacon, the Calamari ( wife and friends who had it) and the Shrimp ( wife told me) just delicious and cooked to perfection along with the 40 Oz porterhouse ( medium) and my wife’s Veg Risotto layered with Cilantro Shrimp. Fabulassimo. Have lost count how many times I have been there but if you are in NJ, heck if are in NYC, this is where you should be coming if you like the Tomahawk, the Ribeye and baby the Porterhouse. Give you 400 out of 100. ❤️🎉🤗🎈🎂🥃👏🦌🎅 merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New 2025 to the staff and personnel of Steakhouse 85.

This restaurant never disappoints during the holiday season! Though the food and drink portions are small for the price, the restaurant is lively, beautifully decorated, and the staff was wonderful! There are so many opportunities for a picture-perfect moment spent with friends and family in the entrance, dining area, and bar!

Always delicious. Freshest seafood and best oysters around.

The food and atmosphere were outstanding! Creative and delicious combinations of flavors. Kielbasa appetizer was a winner as was the octopus. Scallops, salmon, and suckling pig entrees were all well prepared and beautifully presented. Cocktails were on the weak side but the cappuccino was excellent.

We were greeted warmly, even though the restaurant was quite busy. The food selections were mostly pizza and burgers and salads, but there were some plated lunches/dinners. We enjoyed talking with our friends during the meal. The food was well prepared.
