When you're tired of cooking and just want to eat out, its Macaroni KID to the rescue! This guide features participants in our restaurant program - in exchange for promotion and an honest review, several Morris County restaurants gladly open their doors to us for a complimentary family (or date night) meal.  This guide features those restaurants, along with a detailed account of our experiences there.  If you would like to submit your favorite restaurant to our guide, or if you are an eatery who'd like to book a review, please contact amandajanke@macaronikid.com

Happy eating!  



The Old Mill Tavern - Chester

A long-standing local favorite!  Great selection of children's meals!  
MK tip:  Ask for a table in the back and let the kids play old-school
arcade games while you sip on a cocktail! UPDATE: The Old Mill Tavern no longer has the arcade games, the restaurant became so popular they had to add tables to the space once occupied by the arcade. They are still a fully family-friendly restaurant with fantastic food and service!



La Rienda - Long Valley
A family-owned Mexican establishment, with delicious, authentic dishes. Their back patio area is perfect for outdoor dining - can you say MARGARITAS!


 


Long Valley Pub and Brewery

Another perfect choice for outdoor dining with an excellent, 
brewed-on-site beer selection! Be sure to check out their special events and seasonal menu! 



The Black Horse Tavern - Mendham

You won't be disappointed with the culinary delights at this 
1700's stage coach house turned restaurant!


OMG Burger & Brew - Long Valley

Not just for burgers though! They have great appetizers, salads and desserts too!



Smoke and Steer BBQ Grill - Rockaway

Great pick for delicious, quick, BBQ!




Piattino - A Neighborhood Bistro - Mendham

Real, coal-fired pizza and much more!  



Taphouse 15 - Jefferson

A new american grill with a great menu variety!  

MK tip: If your kids love a good homemade mac + cheese, this is your place!  



George & Martha's - Morristown

A sophisticated and fun restaurant with a modern American menu.



Chesapeake Tavern - Long Valley

Fresh seafood in a charming location! 


The Smashed Olive - Washington

If you're looking for a staple restaurant with on-point food with a twist - you've got to try this spot! Definitely do not miss trying their Lavender Martini!
