Pete's Steakhouse Tavern

Besides getting married and having kids, the best experience in life is stumbling onto a restaurant by chance and feeling like you struck gold. You want to tell everyone, but you also want to tell no one. Pete’s Steak House, in Hamilton is the real deal and a gem. The dining room and bar is vintage old time New Jersey decorated with generational family photos. It reminds me of Rossi’s from the ole Chambersburg, Trenton days. The menu favors mostly classic Italian with a mix of ruebens, pizza, and fish and chips. The portions are robust and presented in an authentic manner. The food is delicious, hot to the touch, and the fried food is cooked in same day oil. You soon realize this restaurant feeds the neighborhood as the patrons are local and the prices are extremely affordable. Everyone is nice and it’s easy to engage each other in conversation. I can’t say enough great things about Pete’s Steak House. This is a great place to eat, love, pray and reconnect with what was so good about simpler times.

I've ordered from here many times but haven't gotten the chance to sit down and have a meal. I finally was able to and though I wanted to enjoy outdoor dining it wasn't set up yet. The food is delicious I have yet to order something that wasn't great. I've gotten many cheesesteaks and they were always tasteful. The honey mustard that comes with their chicken fingers is a shining star and should definitely be ordered. I enjoyed many plates of wings and they were crispy, flavorful, and the double hot actually had heat. My sever was Sue and she was an absolute pleasure to have. Thank you Sue for your kindness and upbeat attitude.

I met with friends for dinner. The staff was very friendly. The place was somewhat crowded so the service was slow. The food came out delicious. I had the delmonico steak sandwich which I would recommend. Unfortunately it took our waitress some time to take our orders and give us the check afterwards. This is a good place to catch up with friends over good food and drinks just leave extra time.

My wife and I went here a few months ago. We got seated and waited 28 minutes before a waitress came to see us after i reminded the manager we were there. My wife ordered a cheese steak and I ordered a Delmonico steak, it was a cheap strip steak, not a rib eye. We waited about 50 minutes from when we ordered to when it arrived to our table. My wife's cheese steak was between room temperature and cold. my steak was not only cold, but sat on the plate so long before being served all the juice ran out of it i am surprised it didn't drip off the plate on the way to the table, it was tough, dry and cold. The steak litterly looked like it was sitting in soup broth. I returned the steak, my wife ate her sandwich, she was really hungry and said it would have been really good if it was at least warm. The waitress had an attitude, when we ordered she asked if we wanted bread we said no thanks and she asked again and we replied no thank u and that we are trying to keep the extra carbs down, she rolled her eyes and waddled away, but then again she must have been well over 300lbs. I didn't shame u for eating junk, so don't shame us for not eating junk. I ended up going down the road and getting sushi, rather than wait 50 minutes again for a steak they can't cook right and get to the table in a timely manner. This place should be embarrassed to call themselves a steak house. Any waitress with an ounce of experience should have known better and not have served a steak like that, the place must be full of drunks that will eat anything u put in front of them. Maybe this place is OK and I just got a lazy fat slob waitress that made the place look horrible, but unfortunately this was our experience.
