Court Jester Restaurant in Matawan

pleasantly surprised...chicken cheese quesadilla with peppers and onions very good

Great local bar and grill. The family atmosphere makes it feel like I am home when i walk in the door

What a great place!! From the outside - a hole in the wall. Inside- great great atmosphere, awesome decor, lots of flat screens, 2 walls of books on bookshelves, nice menue, very personable relaxed staff (we named our waitress giggles aka Jessie). Absolutely will visit again

Only experienced great service and food at this place. The portions are big, so you can share the food. Check them out!

Was very busy the night we went so wait for food was a little long. All the food we got was good .

One of my family's favorite restaurants for the past 4-5 years, at least. The place looks great, is always clean, the food is delicious and the service is perfect. I would absolutely recommend it

Really like coming to this bar. The food is great, the atmosphere is awesome, and they have a good selection of beer. Definitely need to go back as the place is great.

Very dark, went in for breakfast brunch buffet which was okay, but the service was impeccable. Chefs kiss. Her name was Caitlyn and she was there when I needed her but not too annoying. However needs more windows. A lot more windows. Or at least some light. Shouldn't be dark when you eat breakfast, especially when breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should be eaten along with the rising sun. Would go again for the friendly service.

Court jester is not the best for in the world but it's ok. The burgers are good. The fajita's are ok. The service has always been good. It's good for kids. It's a great sports bar.

Always have a great experience here. The Sunday brunch buffet is amazing!!!

Great food great place still holds good food through the pandemic

Wow! What a nice place! Staff was friendly and accommodating we went on a Monday for Happy Hour!!! What a great deal 2 people 4 appetizers 4 Beers ALL HALF OFF!$36.00 . And yes we enjoy the food especially the sliders.

I loved the decorations, an very old book collection, love it

Nice selection of food. Roasted clams were tasty.

Best wings, French onion soup, and nachos around. The staff is great

Great local joint. Like "Cheers."

I absolutely LOVED the buffalo wings and fries. Great customer service and an overall great experience.

Very cool restaurant with a great food selection.

Good food good atmosphere. Last time we were there, our waiter seemed new and didn't really know the menu. I don't see being a waiter in the stars.

They need to hire more people but the food was good and the wings were awsome. I recomend

Great food! Service is excellent. Just renovated and opened the bar area a few months back, definitely opens up the area and can see TV's

Food was great. Service was friendly. No complaints. May be too loud for some people.

First time coming Wish we had one back home in IL. Love the food

Since 1999 until very recently we have gone for nachos every Tuesday. I found out the night of my first Arcadian Chorale rehearsal that Tuesday is ladies night. That first night I had a burger and have enjoyed many since. The salad bar is always a good choice. The owners have a knack of finding really good people to work at the Court Jester. BTW, Christmas decoration are worth a trip in December.

Nice comfortable atmosphere, food is consistent very good.

This place is my preferred one. I go to plenty of restaurants but to this restaurant I go the most. The stuff is very amicable and the cooking they serve is so tasty. I am always happy to have a good meal in this place. I highly recommend this place.

Consistently good food. Great burgers. Nacho platter was awesome!

In my own opinion court jesters is fairly good! I always get my grilled cheese and it comes out in a decent amount of time. At times it can be slow but I get that it is busy

Awesome food, love the grazing station! Great drinks and excellent friendly service.

Great burgers and just about everything else! Fantastic service. Bring you grandkids on Sunday and they eat for free!

Had another great dinner off of the the ever changing specials menu last night! The Tuna Poke was delicious! Keep it up Court Jester!

This place is always busy and they have a fantastic salad bar. We just keep coming back. The food is so good. Great service, too!

I have used their private room twice Now for events - the staff is amazing and extremely accommodating and the food has been consistently great. Highly recommend

Great service at bar and great food

Awesome, fun place to eat.Great salad bar and burgers. Friendly service, great value. A fan....

Great place food was great and the service was as well

The sliders are great. Football specials and happy hour are great prices. Great selection of craft draft beer.

Service was great and so was the food. Loved the ambience too. Some heavy ales other than IPA would be even better.

Best bartender I've had in a very long time

The food is lackluster, especially the burgers, there's little to no seasoning and they taste bland.There have been several times that I have waited 15-20 minutes for the burger to come out from the kitchen. Not great when my lunch break is 30 minutes and I worked in the same strip mall.The decor is so dated. There's no identity to this place. What's the concept?The commercial grade carpet in the dining room is filthy and the tables wobble. There's just no appeal to the place. The best part of this place WAS when the lunch buffet had a variety of ingredients and it was all cooked in front of you while you waited. I would conjure up different dishes and 5 minutes later it was cooked and I couldn't wait to go for a second serving!The draft beer system is also a problem. Every beer comes out foaming. A clear indication that the pressures and or temperature is a problem.The staff is nice. Hopefully they can get it together. This place has so much potential!

Good place for a large group. Waitstaff helpful with dietary needs. Enough variety for all.

This place is great!! Delicious good. TVs everywhere. Bingo during football season. The wait staff is quick and friendly.

Court Jester is the local place for burgers, beers and other favs, like blackened grouper with dijon mustard with capers. Their court jester burgers are very tasty as are their sweet potato fries. Great selection of beers and other specialty drinks. Service is spot-on for friendliness and fast service.

Great wings, good burger, good sunday football crowd and drinks...

Update: It's been 3 years, now 1, since my fist review and it still stands. I should also point out that when you order the wings, the hotness/heat of the wings depends on who is cooking on that shift. And I only found that out because I noticed a huge difference when I ordered them last and I asked the bartender on duty.... That is when I could even get one of bartenders attention. That is not acceptable.This place has horrible food and don't even get me started with the employees. Even the chicken fingers tastes, off. The wait staff and the bartenders tend to forget about you. The TVs at the bar are so high up, its ridiculous. Why do I think this place will ever change.

We love the Aberdeen Court Jester. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

I used to come here all the time for many many years but haven't been back in a couple years and when I went back same good service but the food definitely is not the same. Even some of the same dishes I used to get are now made differently. Maybe quality had to go down to keep the prices from going up, which I can appreciate but I rather pay a little bit more for better food especially when that's how they used to be! I do really like this place so I'm sorry to say this. But I also need to add I'm probably not your average eater either. I try to eat very healthier and I'm a vegetarian. Their veggie burgers used to be baked or broiled but now I think they're fried.

Love this place, great atmosphere, good food, cool decor, decent pricing. If you want casual food and don't mind a bar this is an excellent place. Buffalo wings are great and the closest I've had to going to Buffalo itself in NJ

OK for bar food very expensive had eight adults and four children the tab was over three hundred dollars. We only went here because Denino's had a one hour wait and the kids were getting a little cranky lol.they were accommadating and the atmosphere was very good
