Little to no atmosphere in this place. There wasn’t a single piece of wall decoration up, no music playing, etc. the menu seemed good, but the appetizer were the best thing we had. The main dishes and the “famous” house made donuts were below average at best. The dining area has potential to be a “more up beat place” and the beer/liquor select was sufficient. The staff was friendly but not overly knowledgeable about their menu when asked about specifics in dishes. I would not go back.

This place has keep some of the things we loved about long standing Tumulty's, like the lettuce wedge and train. I'm watching my carbs and when I requested no fries, they offered other options, which was a nice change. Great place for a burger when in New Brunswick!

We’ve came here every year we come to compete against Rutgers. One of the most hospitable spots amongst big ten conference cities. Always a highlight of the trip. Great atmosphere, great service, great food.

Wow, after dining at Tavern on George, I really miss Tumulty's! A giant step back from the beloved Rutgers' Institution that used to be. We arrived at 6 PM, and in nearly 2 hours could not even manage to get dessert before we had to leave to catch a show at State Theatre. Service was slow and inattentive ~ 2 of us were served soup with no spoons, the server never came back so we ate the soup with a fork. The upstairs renovation looks like they were going for an industrial look, but never quite finished the work. The booths have all been torn out and replaced with tables with metal stools. The place is now drafty and has lost the coziness that made Tumulty's the Rutgers date night go-to place. The food was nothing special. ~ Sigh ~ such a loss for New Brunswick.

There was an issue In kitchen so food was slow to come out. However, manager/owner came over several times to keep us updated, offer free drinks and even took money off our bill. We’ve eaten here many times with no problems so I certainly don’t fault them for one slow night. Will definitely return as food is excellent.

Great venue pre-show and staff was upbeat and professional! However they were woefully understaffed - one great waitress and a bus person for entire downstairs at dinner hour - so we almost missed the show. They need to staff up to accommodate theater crowds especially on a weekend. Although we had to run to the show, the food was quite good and the location and value were also excellent.
