Black Horse Pub probably best as a local Mendham pub and grub joint. Been coming here on and off for nearly two decades. There's always someone you know. Prefer the bar as the bartenders are consistently quite good.Food is OK - sometimes a bit ambitious and pricey. Stick with simple things although the $6 a pop colossal shrimp are always fun. Service is hit or miss. Our server this week was either very new and barely trained or plain inept. Don't recall the name and only ID on the receipt is VRG. He barely knew the menu - food or drinks. Service was very slow. Yet other times the staff was top notch. On average this is a 3.5 to 4 star place, but no more.
