I normally don't give a 5 stars but this meal was one of the best I have had in a very long time.
From the owner to the servers, they were all amazing.
Now the food was delicious, my meat was cooked to perfection! I had a nice drink. I would definitely recommend the apple strudel with vanilla sauce.🥂🫶🏻

Muddy Waters? More like crystal clean water. Looks like it was recently updated, clean, and nicely decorated. Went for my brother in law's birthday dinner. It looks unassuming from the outside but well worth the visit! You don't find too many Austrian - Hungarian food out in Hunterdon County and the food was delicious. We had the burger and the chicken paprikash with the Gelato for dessert. The rest of the family also enjoyed their food. We got to meet the owners and they were super nice. Need to come back to catch one of the nights with live music! Highly recommend!

Super surprised with the absolutely great food. The service was incredible also. Probably the best potatoes I have ever had. The Eggs Benedict were great. A really good hollandaise sauce.

Ultra clean environment and really authentic Hungarian dishes. Every is made from scratch so nothing is pre-made that gives that sat all day taste.

Kai was our Bartender and server. His drinks were spot on. He made the experience better. The Owner was always around seeing how everyone was doing.

Judging by my experience im unsure how they are even in business.

We wanted to try a new to us local place and figured we'd give them a go. Reviews were good so why not? Here's why not.

Walk in, no one to greet/sit guests so we awkwardly stood around until I believe someone bussing tables said "pick one kf these tables" cool

Waitress takes drink orders, comes back and takes gokd orders. This will be pretty much the last time we see her. Someone else brought us our food and then nothing.

Serious, no hyperbole, over an hour of just sitting there...nothing. I stood up multiple times looking for her, many other guests were clearly annoyed/upset. It got to the point where we were going to walk out then I managed to flag down someone (again, nkt our waitress) to get the bill. Insane.

As for the food? Flatbread was nice, burger was serviceable, no sauce on a "signature muddy burger" left it bland but whatever. The shepards pie was a disaster. I had to stop eating it to drain the 1/8 deep pool of oil from the bottom of it in fear of a western government coming to clame my shepards pie in the name of freedom.

Will likely never return, and honestly pretty annoyed I paid a cent in the first place.

We were passing through town and stopped by for a quick dinner, and were so glad we chose this spot. We shared some truffle fries and a shepherd’s pie. The service was great and the food was fantastic. Large portions, and delicious flavors. Would definitely come back the next time we are passing through this area.

What a treat in the backwoods of Pattenburg/Asbury, NJ. Met some friends on Saturday at this spot for a drink and met the owner, Attila. Really friendly guy that made you feel like you were sitting at his home enjoying good music and fine spirits. The interior was simple but elegant. Everything was clean and taken care of. My friends had gotten there earlier and enjoyed some burgers, that they related to me as really good. I asked if they did a Sunday brunch and Attila brought me out the brunch menu. It looked real good and eclectic. I said I'll be back tomorrow with my daughter for brunch. Next day I took my daughter there at 1pm. The service was great. The food was really yummy. I had the Eggs Benedict and my daughter had the Wild Mushroom Flatbread. Delicious! Everything was the perfect temperature, texture and flavor. We shared the Napoleon Beet Salad as an appetizer and the deconstructed bread pudding (Kaiserschmarren) for dessert. Sooo good!

I will be telling my friends and family about this little treasure.

I've gotten very excited when I heard about this new gastro pub that opened right around the corner, and I've gotten even more excited when I checked their menu online and saw the very familiar dishes I grew up with. I just couldn't get out of my mind the Kaiserschmarren so last night we went for dinner. My husband warned me don't get too excited: " you know it's hard to come up to your mom`s amazing cooking". Well I tell you and told the owner Attila that his dishes were just as good as mom's! Not only the food was delightful but the service was great, very friendly and welcoming. So refreshing to have quality and freshly cooked food in this area that is made with pride! We had the soft pretzel with the yummy nostril cleaning spicy mustard. The baked spätzle Mac and cheese - with a hint of dill that just elevated the good old comfort food to a whole other level. Then we tried the Bratwurst over sauerkraut and the night`s special Borsos Tokany which is a tender pork ragu with peas over fries. Amazing!!!! And of course we finished with the Kaiserschmarren - an Austrian variation for crepes drenched in warm fresh blueberry sauce! Well done Attila and Staff! We will be back!

Great food! Friendly staff! What more can you ask for? We spoke to the owner and There is a plan to have live music regularly and karaoke on Monday nights. Looks like a fun place to enjoy yummy food and music. We definitely plan to return!
