The Black Horse Tavern and Pub offers a cozy, classic atmosphere with its vaulted ceilings, plenty of booths and tables for groups, and a warm fireplace that made the room feel inviting. Even on a Monday, the bar area had a solid crowd and good energy. The bar has a small, but good selection of locally brewed craft beers.
We tried a few apps—chips and guac, plus mozzarella and meat—and while everything was perfectly fine, nothing particularly stood out. The fish and chips had good flavor, but the crispy exterior didn’t hold up by the time it reached our group of nine, arriving a bit soggy. The tartar sauce could’ve used more dill to brighten things up.
Overall, it was still a pleasant experience. The service and atmosphere carry the place, and we’d definitely give it another try.

Tried this place yesterday & it was okay. We waited almost 50 minutes for a table of two, while other larger groups were seated first, did not make sense to me. The food was good, we got chicken wings & mozzarella sticks to share. Entrees we got the steak sandwich & ribs which were pretty good. The drinks were okay, we got the autumn sangria which was decent. They had valet parking which was nice but we did find street parking. It was fine to try the first time, but def not worth a second visit.

We made reservations for Saturday night and met old friends for dinner. It was a special night out and the Black Horse staff made it perfect. Our table was ready and a very pleasant smiling hostess Katie seated us. Our server was Gerry and she took great care of us…she is a pro. The food was excellent and we already made plans to return next week!!
Truly is a great place!

Mendham is filled with historical buildings, and this place definitely is. A renovated building from 1740 served patrons who stopped along the way on the stagecoach before there was a United States. Located on W Main Street, The Black Horse Tavern & Pub is considered New Jersey’s oldest continually running establishment, where my partner and I came for lunch today. The reservation was easily made via Resy.
Upon entering as first-timers to the recently renovated pub, we were greeted by the host offering a cozy, warm, and rustic vibe. The upgrade has now expanded several dining rooms to include a complete remodeling with booths lining the walls, a fireplace creating a focal point, and tables in the center of the room. The Clam Bar room accommodates private celebrations. We got a high-top table by the window next to the bar.
Their menu features American classics updated to reflect post-Revolutionary War standards, such as wings, pot pie, crab cakes, bronzini, dry-aged steak, and roasted chicken, to name a few.
We decided on the Chicken Pot Pie, which came with mixed veggies in a half-inch pan with a flat cookie-type biscuit on top. No flaky deep crust, and it was served hot, and the Steak Dip Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. Food was tasty. The service was good, and our server, Jessica, was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions and made recommendations. The price was comparable to the area. Our only complaint would be the flies buzzing around by the window.
We could recommend this place.

Really good food, in a really cool space and our server Geraldine was super friendly and attentive. Putting on a show like this is challenging I’m sure and you guys pulled it off flawlessly. We will def be back. Nice job guys!

As a lifetime patron of the Black Horse Pub/ Tavern; I had the chance to review it for the first time since it finished its “remodel” after three years of work.
I grew up in Mendham and lived there for 30 years (1970-1999). All through HS and countless reunions. I must say that the set up is almost identical.
Service was great, except for waiting for the maître / hostess to bring me to an open table in a virtually empty at the time Pub at 4:45pm, but for perhaps 15 others.
Service was very good. Thank you to my server. As for the food; pricey. The seating was AWEFUL and crowded. I was never more cramped in my booth adjacent to the white granite Like top. Crab cakes were good, but had little sauce. Requested extra. The appetizer cold crabmeat and what tasted like a mix of salmon came with horrible “Premium” Crackers. Cheep and stale. What would have been better would have been a Carr’s crackers or roasted bread. My roast chicken sandwich on a baked greatness dry.
Because the booth seating was SOOO bad, I’d rather not return. Four appetizers and a chicken sandwich and drinks [one mix, two beers and two inexpensive Cabernets], I would NOT recommend it for much more then drinks and they no longer have colossal shrimp appetizers.

We love the atmosphere here, especially in the main dining/bar area. The food is always good but the desserts are nothing special. Service is good and you typically get your food very quick. BEST bourbon old fashioned I’ve had (and I’ve tried a lot of them!)

Talk about a disappointment. They turned a charming old world upscale pub into a contemporary typical and common environment. I might have been able to possibly overlook that had the food and service been excellent, but it wasn’t. The bartender was very pleasant but less than attentive. I ordered the chicken pot pie and they forgot the chicken. Okay, a forgivable error but when the new pie arrived, with a very kind apologetic manager, it had plenty of chicken and the bones to go with it. Done. I’ll go back to the Tewksbury Inn.
