Crogan's is the perfection of culinary delight if you crave comfort food on a winters day or eve. You can eat their clam chowder with a fork. The Coleslaw is lightly dressed rather than drowning in sauce and some wizard in the kitchen understands the proper soaking of a roast beef au jus sandwich. 20 stars....

I've ordered from Crogan's a few times recently. Overall it was a great value. I was totally enthralled with the charbroiled salmon w/quinoa and green beans and would definitely order it again.
I wasn't too impressed with the steak salad or crab cakes, though. While I requested my steak medium rare, there wasn't even a hint of pink. And the crab cakes were bland and more filler than crabmeat. I was disappointed 😞
I'll stick with the charbroiled salmon, though, because it was utterly delicious!

Portion size of the Braised Short Rib meal was huge for the price. 2 sides spinach and potatoes. The taste for was a 10/10. The spinach was a bit bland but paired well with the beef and potatoes! The restaurant even added 2 complimentary cookies. Can't wait to order again ! Also, the crab cakes tastes

Perfect comfort food and my most-ordered restaurant on DoorDash. Try the sublime braised short rib and the reuben with delightfully crisp fries. I also get the French dip, and two orders of calamari and potato skins. Cool people, too; the way they handled an occasional request is really like a true neighborhood stalwart (like giving me a table ketchup when I said I was out). Thanks for all the food, guys.

I just tried Crogans after not going there for years because I had a couple bad experiences with very dry bread (about 10+ years back) and it was excellent; I think they changed ownership. The Quesadilla had a wonderful flaky crust and was a generous serving (My only recommendation would be to cut down the oil a bit in the crust.); it far exceedd the quality of similar items at the two nearby Mexican restaurants in the Montclair District. The Black Bean Soup had an excellent flavor, but I felt more like it was an $8 serving than a $10+ serving size, but I would buy it again on the Happy Hour (2-5 pm) deal. My only complaint is to remember to comply with AB1276 and ONLY PROVIDE UTENSILS on request; I usually rate down 5 star restaurants to 4 stars when this happens, but because they gave me two cookies with a nice thank you note, I won't downgrade the rating.
