All the food we had was excellent. Fish and chips were nicely battered and fried Lettuce cups were nice with well cooked steak The steak sandwich better than average with quality meat. They have an interesting beer program with a large selection.

Cloverleaf is one of those places that doesn’t need my review because everyone knows how good it is already- but I’m going to write one anyway. We love cloverleaf. Coming here when the weather is nice and sitting outside and listening to music while enjoying one of their refreshing drinks and delicious meals is excellent. And coming in the winter to cozy up inside with the friendly staff is great. Their staff are incredible. Food is always delicious. There’s a reason this place is so well known and well loved in town. It’s top notch!

Today was a hot day but as we were there at 3pm we decided to sit outside. There were enough umbrellas and shading that it was a great experience. Our waitress was efficient and came to check in with us regularly to see if we needed anything at all. At no point did she leave us for a long amount of time. All our food tasted freshly made, We always start with their cheese curds and fried pickles. We enjoyed the three entries we ordered as well as the desert.

We were in Caldwell, New Jersey for an estate sale, and as part of our tradition, we looked for a local spot to try afterward. Our neighbor, who grew up in Caldwell, suggested the Cloverleaf Tavern — the oldest business in town, dating back to 1933. The first thing you notice is the beer list: about 150 options, from ciders to stouts, in bottles, cans, and on draft. There’s indoor and outdoor seating, with light rock music at just the right volume. The crowd is a mix of locals, families, and friends — everyone seems at home here. We started with the Tavern Taquitos, filled with tender, well-seasoned chicken and fresh pico de gallo. The chipotle sauce had a nice, medium heat that built with each bite. The Asian lettuce wraps were another hit — crisp lettuce, flavorful filling, and the peanut sauce served on the side so you could control the balance. For mains, the buttermilk chicken sandwich came with two generous pieces of chicken. At first glance, I worried it might be too bready, but the breading was light, the chicken was moist, and the flavors worked beautifully with the cilantro coleslaw, jalapeño ranch, and tzatziki sauce. Portions here are large, the service is top-notch, and our server, Veronica, was attentive, witty, and full of personality. We’ll definitely return to work our way through more of the menu — and the beer list. If you’re in Caldwell, the Cloverleaf Tavern is a must-visit.

First time at Cloverleaf for wife and I, it was wonderful. Indoor seating, outdoor seating, even sunroom seating. Friendly patrons, professional and courteous staff. Joe our server did a great job informing of us food and drink options. I had fish and chips, wife had fish tacos. Fish was fresh with a nice crispy exterior. Manhattan on the rocks was made perfectly, and enjoyed a nice Chimay Belgian lager after our meal.

Huge selection of beers. I’ll let you know when I drink all of them! Had the Reuben today it was one of their signature sandwiches and it was on point. Can’t go wrong with the side of waffle fries either. Had a bite of their signature sandwich, which was the cheesesteak and that was delicious.
