Notes: JJ's is the go-to place when we're in Central Jersey.  Over the past couple of years, they've gone through a few brewers, and the consistency at times was unpredictable.  From talking with people, the management doesn't seem to treat employees very well, and specials are misrepresented in advertisements, but we do keep coming back.  The food is above average for bar food, and the beers are usually pretty solid.  Their dunkelweizen caused a bit of an obsession in me for awhile.  It was actually the inspiration for my very first, all-grain homebrew.   If you're feeling like overeating, the butterfly fries, oh man.  The restaurant is in a cool old historic train building, and well decorated.
