Comments:
I had heard Tavern 292's Jersey Burger is done right, so I opted for it and I'm glad I did! It was very good, juicy, hot, great beef flavor (I'm guessing 100% chuck), presented well, and was cooked a perfect medium rare. Coarsely ground, loosely packed beef always makes for a fantastic tavern burger.
Although I'm often trying burgers with crazy toppings, I personally don't care for them; I prefer my burgers with cheese, onion and pickle (always NFK) but this burger was downright awesome. The toasted bun was outstanding and the key factor to all these toppings working so well together.
I was told the place is owned and managed by a Greek family and it shows. The place is run as efficiently and with as much attention to detail as any Jersey Greek diner. I have nothing bad to say about our dining experience at Tavern 292. The burger was cooked perfectly to my taste, and served hot. The wait staff was great, the place was packed (which speaks volumes), and we left happy campers. What else can I say? If you are ever in Fairfield, NJ, try one of Tavern 292's burgers – you won't be disappointed.
