It's crowded because while the food there is mediocre, 90% of the food at restaurants in Franklin Twp is not fit for a dog. Plus it offers space for big groups, has a liquor license and ample parking.

OT: Sunday Brunch recommendations near NB
- Thread starter m1ipabrams
- Start date
On Yelp it's being suggested that the place is closed for renovations. It would be a bummer if the closure is permanent; Dillinger Room had great drinks and a cool vibe the several times we came there, both for happy hour and evening drinks. Can't speak for brunch, however.

We will be closing down Jan 1st for a bit. Come out and enjoy the classic atmosphere of TDR and look forward to some cool new shit happening soon! #tdrhubcity

I was over there on George street this past week. I think it said it’s becoming a Neapolitan pizzeria.this is posted on their facebook page:

Why don't you bring your dog to one of those exotic Asian restaurants where they can cook the dog for you?
New place to be called Fatto Americano - Neopolitan pizza, etc. Owners of Destination Dogs new concept.
It's going to be a tough sell to get my wife to go to a place called "Fatto Americano"
Probably not to a college student - but that area is a little different than Easton Ave so it may cost them business. Not to mention there’s a pizzeria a couple doors down that’s been there forever - maybe a totally different concept though?
Yup. Downingtown. A least one other board member is just down the road from us and we some times get together to watch games or carpool to football games. Do you go to games?
The legendary Filippo's Pizza is literally right next door. They'll be sharing a wall. Fatto Americano has a liquor license, so it'll definitely have a different vibe. If it were me, I wouldn't want my new restaurant, which features pizza, to be adjacent to another pizza joint.
Hadn’t realized Filippo’s was renowned. Different target market, but still not a good idea IMHO.
They've been serving quality slices since 1972. Any establishment doing business for 46 years has got to be doing something right.
Seems this thread, or something very like it, pops up every year or so and I've found the RUFB community to be a pretty decent, and always entertaining, source of information about food.
I'm looking to take a group of roughly 20 out for a Sunday brunch. Ideally a buffet brunch. And it seems to have become difficult to find Sunday buffet brunches anymore. Plenty of brunches offered by restaurants, but not buffets.
I know Old Man Rafferty's does a Sunday buffet brunch, and it's usually pretty decent. But we're looking for maybe someplace that's a little quieter (to accommodate the older folks in the group).
Our priorities are: really good food, relatively quiet, roomy. Cost doesn't matter.
Figure a range of roughly 50 to 60 miles of New Brunswick in any direction, although would consider farther for a really good place.
Some possibilities we are considering, but know nothing about...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Stagehouse Tavern in Somerset.
Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank.
I'll think of more.

Not a buffet but Project P.U.B. in Somerville had good food the few times I went and they have a Sunday Brunch.

I commend OP for the highly gay thread![thumb2]
Yes, brunch is very gay...it’s just the way it is![winking]

In @mildone 's defense his brunchs usually include a healthy portion of hookers and blow.

I haven’t been to stage house but I hear they serve cafeteria food.
The moderators pick the most senseless and random moderation opportunities, on this board...
Anyway, another vote for the Molly Pitcher.

Well, okay, that's true. I can't deny that.
But I dress like a bum (often in cargo shorts), don't shower very often, like to fart, burp and scratch myself in public, leer and drool at the dance team, and watch at least one Die Hard movie per day, and am addicted to hookers and blow, which tips the scale back in the direction of hetero territory.
Just don't ask me how many times I've cried during when Bella becomes a vampire while watching Twilight. :)
Good recommendation. I actually called Rat's yesterday about it.
But they no longer do a buffet brunch (except for special occasions like father's day). And this isn't a father's day thing. We're targeting the 30th or later.
So we put Rat's on a back-burner as a potential fall-back though. But it's a very good place.
That looks pretty good. Thanks.
I'll have to check w/people to see if they are willing to travel that far. I actually drive past it every couple weeks or so. So even if I don't do it with this group, I'll head there at some point soon to check it out.
And, as a bonus, the name of the restaurant, Cock'n Bull, can be easily be interpreted to be in keeping with with the overall gayness of the thread. [laughing]
Appreciate the suggestions. I've added Molly Pitcher to the list to check out.
Regarding the Stagehouse, some of us tried it last year and weren't blown away.
Agreed about Stagehouse but they do have that nice backyard. Like it there but dont love it. Molly Pitcher is your best bet.
Don't all Sunday brunches have hookers and blow?
But I like to make sure everybody's happy, so I always make sure there are both female and male hookers. And sheep for my Scottish guests.
Why do Scotsmen wear kilts?
I forgot all about my somewhat controversial comment till I reread the earlier thread. But yeah. :)
This place best around
Just outside New Hope not all that far especially on a nice day
LOL.
Is no problem. I'll probably just wander around in my boxer-briefs, which is how I normally dress for sailing, business meetings, jogging, that sort of thing.
But the girls might find that pretty objectionable. Completely harmless, but still objectionable.
I should probably give you more detail on the crew. You'll be compelled to reevaluate this post.
Here's a hint: the last time I went up to their apartment, the kid's roomie answered the door wearing a t-shirt. Just. And I was completely expected and dead-balls on-time. After 5 minutes of conversation she sighs, and says "I guess I should probably put some pants on."
This was not the first time something like this happened.
So... yeah.
