Horrible! Food was bad. I got burned and over cooked chicken finger and the cheese fries were burned as well. On top of that I waited for an hour for each. It wasn't even busy! On top of that security is horrible. This big one that walks around is very rude and he smells horrible. Unacceptable for a venue.

The Stanhope House used to have a lot of potential for a place to go to check out good local bands in north west Jersey as well as a few larger bands. However, it would seem their moderate success has gone to their heads. The bouncers are downright rude and angry, my friend was ejected from a show once because he got knocked over by the crowd. And on another occasion after a show when I was walking to my car and said goodnight to a bouncer who was outside smoking a cigarette. He promptly told me to f*ck off before heading back to the venue. As far as the bar is concerned the drinks are a bit overpriced (I think the last time I was there I was paying around 5 dollars for a Yuengling.) And they are served by an unfriendly staff of bartenders who see their customers as an inconvenience. As for the food, the food is awful and just about everyone I've ever met who has eaten there would agree with me. Pretty much as it stands the only reason to ever go to the Stanhope House is to see a band you like just be prepared to pay a hefty cover charge on your way in.

Loved The ambiance but good but the food was bad to both me and my girl. We both had the burger and we both had it come up at the end of the night. So in short food sucked but the music was awesome. If you come for the music (which I suggest ) eat before you come. Don't eat the food.

This place is trash. The service is garbage. Racist bastards.

To be fair, I only ordered To-Go so I can only rate the food and take out service. First off, this place is almost impossible to reach. The phone they listed is an answering machine which tells you 3 other numbers to call. If you actually need to talk to someone, good luck. I ordered 4 items. When I picked up and paid for it, I got home to find out half my order was missing. I couldn't call the restaurant (or rather I tried many times and no one picked up). I had to drive back to get a refund. No real apology. The food that we did eat was a burger and braised beef and potatoes appetizer. Fries were bland and soggy and so was the burger. The appetizer was very oily. Food isn't worth trying, but maybe the ambiance is. Either way, I will never go back here again.
