Welcome to New Jersey's Legendary Steak House

Rod's Steak & Seafood Grille, an area landmark and winner of New Jersey Monthly's 'Best Steakhouse' award, offers dinner daily. We are open for brunch Sunday 10am-2pm.

The restaurant's design of rich wood paneling and highly polished brass, lends a classic elegance to the sophisticated atmosphere.

Rod's Steak and Seafood Grille offers a "warm and welcoming atmosphere" with "excellent food" and "lovely servers." The historic train car dining and live music enhance the experience. While some dishes need refinement, steak and seafood options consistently delight. Perfect for celebrations, the "cozy setting" and attentive service make it a Morris County favorite.

    Excellent food and outstanding service. It was a bit loud on account of the piano player and noise from the bar due to a large party. The food is on the pricey side, but its quality can justify (to a point) the price. Great atmosphere and very attentive service from the wait staff. The hostesses did seem a bit overwhelmed and clueless as to how to seat guests and use the reservation system.

    While the food was very good and the service was great, the website should have said that the train cars are only available on the weekends. We went for my husband’s birthday and requested to eat in one of the historic train cars and were disappointed that we couldn’t. That was the primary reason we drove 50 minutes there!
    Rod's Steak and Seafood GrilleResponded on October 28, 2026
    Amy, thank you for celebrating your husband's birthday with us. We're delighted you enjoyed the food and service, but sincerely regret the disappointment regarding our historic dining cars, especially after traveling such a distance. We understand that this was an important part of your planned experience, and we appreciate your feedback regarding clearer communication of their availability. We hope you'll give us another opportunity to welcome you back for the special experience you originally envisioned.

    I went to Rod's Steak and Seafood Grille for a business dinner. Since the place was quiet, it was easy to have a conversation. The meal and the wine we chose were perfect for the occasion.

    We requested the train car so it was nice and quiet. The food was mediocre- prime rib was tasteless, the lobster tail was rubbery and the lump crabmeat cocktail was not just plain meat it had mayonnaise or something on it and that wasn’t listed on the menu as such.
    Rod's Steak and Seafood GrilleResponded on October 14, 2026
    Ali, thank you for sharing your feedback. While we're glad you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere of our dining car, we're disappointed that the food did not meet your expectations. Your concerns regarding the prime rib, lobster tail, and crabmeat cocktail are certainly not reflective of the quality we strive to provide. We will be reviewing your comments with our culinary team, including the menu description, to ensure these concerns are addressed. We appreciate your visit and hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide a much better dining experience.
