Jefferson House - LAKE HOPATCONG

Absolutely adorable casual spot overlooking the stunning Lake Hopatcong. If you're looking to spend a day on the water but find the Jersey Shore too far away, this charming little place is a perfect choice...

I suppose I can't give zero stars, so I’ll settle for one star. I've been a patron of Jeff House for over 30 years and even held my wedding rehearsal dinner there.

The restaurant boasts a fantastic location right by the water, but the food leaves much to be desired. I ordered the fish and chips, which were delivered to a nearby table and looked delicious. Unfortunately, my meal...

We received great service when we arrived as the restaurant was just opening, and we really appreciated that.

The exterior of the restaurant is quite attractive, and there is ample seating available. The staff members are courteous; however, the food leaves much to be desired. The chicken was soggy and the beef ribs lacked flavor. We waited over 45 minutes for our meals, and the restaurant was not particularly busy—there were only about four tables occupied besides the bar area. I don't think I would return.
