The Stuffed Olive Offers More Than Just Martinis

When you hear the name The Stuffed Olive, you might immediately thinks of dirty martinis, and might imagine that the establishment might not offer much in the way of food. In the case of the bar and restaurant on Bloomfield Avenue in Pine Brook, you'd be wrong.

Besides cocktails, The Stuffed Olive offers lunch, dinner, take-out and specials as well as entertainment.

Each week, Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here's this week's choice:

The Stuffed Olive offers such bar attractions as free poker on Sunday nights and beer pong tournaments, but it also offers homemade food, like fried shrimp with homemade chipotle mayonnaise and tartar sauce on the side. 

Not surprisingly, it offers olive appetizers—fried and stuffed green or black olives, and an olive tapenade which includes green olives, black olives, artichokes, roasted peppers and a tapenade of the day for $8.95.

The bar and grill also offers seafood like mussels marinara, fried shrimp, mini crabcakes and fried clams, as well as standards like french onion soup, chili, sandwiches and various salads.

If you're looking for deep fried goodness, you can choose the Heart Attack Fries, which include cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, bacon, green onions and a side of ranch dressing.
