If your stomach is screaming for adventure and your tastebuds are itching to get out of their comfort zone, you don’t need to cross state lines — you just need to make a pit stop at The Office Tavern Grill. Their new “Road Trip” seasonal menu is here, and it’s less of a detour and more of a full-blown coast-to-coast flavor tour. Think: classic American comfort food with that extra boost of creativity, heat, sauce, and chef-brain energy you didn’t know you needed.
This isn’t your dad’s roadside diner menu. This is elevated regional eats with a playful twist, built around dishes inspired by iconic food stops across the U.S. — from Nashville to Santa Fe, from New England to SoCal — with The Office’s own Jersey-rooted culinary flair baked in.
🍔 Where Can You Try the Road Trip Menu?
The Office Tavern Grill has multiple New Jersey locations — so whether you’re north, central, or passing through on your way to a Devils game, you’ve got options:
📍 Morristown
📍 Summit
📍 Bridgewater
📍 Ridgewood
Each spot features cozy pub vibes, creative cocktails, plenty of taps (hello, rotating craft beer list), and menus that are chef-driven but never too serious. It’s the kind of place where you can drop in for a casual lunch, a Friday night dinner, or watch the game without sacrificing food quality. And now, with the “Road Trip” theme, they’re leaning all the way into fun food, made well.
🧭 What’s on the Road Trip Menu? Let’s Break It Down
Each dish on the seasonal menu channels a different region of the U.S., and while the exact items may rotate, here’s a taste of the kind of stops you’ll make on this culinary highway:
🌶️ Southwest Detour: Santa Fe Chicken Egg Rolls
Loaded with seasoned chicken, corn, black beans, cheese, and Southwestern spice — these aren’t just crispy, they crackle. Served with a creamy chipotle ranch that hits just right.
🧇 Southern Comfort Stop: Nashville Hot Chicken and Waffles
Spicy, crispy chicken meets soft, fluffy waffles. The heat is real, the syrup is sweet, and the balance is beautiful. It’s brunch, lunch, and soul-food therapy rolled into one.
🧀 Midwest Melt Zone: Wisconsin Beer Cheese Burger
Think two smashed patties dripping in rich, sharp beer cheese, topped with fried onions and stacked on a soft bun. This one’s messy — in the good way.
🐟 New England Coastal Shortcut: Lobster Grilled Cheese
Yes, really. Big chunks of real lobster, melted cheese, buttery sourdough — it’s the kind of sandwich you didn’t know you were missing until you bite into it and go, “Ohhh.”
🍍 West Coast Breeze: Hawaiian BBQ Pork Tacos
Pineapple, pulled pork, pickled onions, sweet BBQ glaze — this one’s a whole mood. It’s giving Maui-meets-Morristown and we’re not mad about it.
🍹 Drinks Worth the Detour
It wouldn’t be a proper road trip without some beverages, and The Office Tavern Grill’s bar program doesn’t coast. Their craft cocktail list and massive rotating beer menu are a big part of the draw.
We’re talking:
- 🍻 Seasonal IPAs and small-batch lagers from NJ and beyond
- 🍹 Fresh-spun margaritas, bourbon-forward sips, and fruit-infused mixes
- 🧊 Flights and pairings designed to match the road trip dishes
- ☕ Bonus: espresso martinis if the ride home needs a little buzz
🧭 Why the Road Trip Menu Feels So… Right?
Because let’s be honest — part of the fun of eating out is discovery. It’s ordering something a little out there, a little new, something you wouldn’t (or couldn’t) cook at home. This seasonal menu leans into that — it’s flavorful without being fussy, creative without getting cute, and legit tasty across the board.
Also: it’s fun. There’s a reason we associate road trips with freedom, spontaneity, and great memories. This menu? Same energy.
🗓️ Plan Your Stop — And Make It Soon
The “Road Trip” menu is only running for a limited time — through Spring 2025 — so now’s the time to pull off the Parkway or detour from your usual takeout circuit and make the stop.
Whether you’re bringing your partner, your kids, your coworkers, or just pulling a solo foodie move (respect), The Office Tavern Grill is offering something that feels a little extra this season — without any pretension.
🎉 Explore New Jersey Weekend Tip
Turn it into a real mini-road trip. Hit up one Office location for lunch, take a drive to a local trail, museum, or town festival, and wrap it up with dessert or a second round at another Office location. (The Ridgewood and Morristown ones both have strong downtown energy. Trust us.)
