We finally had a chance to try General Saloon and we were definitely not disappointed. We sat at the bar and ordered: Appetizer - Cheesesteak Eggrolls - ok Pizza - Large Saloon Bar pie - EXCELLENT All the hype you've heard about the bar pies are legit. The pie is super thin, sorta crispy, but it's NOT a cracker crust, which I'm happy to see. I don't like a cracker crust on a pizza. The sauce and cheese are very flavorful, and the pie has the perfect balance of both. The cheesesteak eggrolls were unfortunately just ok - not remarkable. I've had better - but I'm glad they're on the menu. The place is a lot smaller inside than I expected, a half-rectangle bar, and tables in the main area I saw. It's also a good place to bring the family, and the service was very good at the bar. I can't speak for table service though. Overall - a very cool, laid back family-friendly bar/restaurant, with an above average bar pie, and an extensive and interesting menu. I dig the Western vibe (there are horse hitching posts in front). Definitely a good place to sit back, have a drink and a bite to eat - and I'm looking forward to trying a few different menu options in the future.

I hired General Saloons catering for a birthday party, and they were absolutely fantastic! The communication was clear and timely throughout the entire process, which made everything so much easier. They were very helpful with menu suggestions and accommodating to our needs. The food was delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. Highly recommend this catering service for any event – Brien and his team truly went above and beyond!

Had the pizza (thin crust) and wings and both were superb. Service was superior during our visit. A bit cold inside was the only reason for 4 stars. Very clean and fast.

Moved to Old Bridge around five years ago big pizza guy found some really good places but if you want a bar pie, this is the best place around their cheesesteak eggrolls. They’re dumplings. Everything they make is on point by staff great place.

Went for dinner on a thursday and enjoyed the music trivia night. The Mc was really great and our server was super nice . The appetizers were pretty good as well.

Great neighborhood bar. Super friendly staff and patrons. Awesome vibes and usually have good jams being played on touch tunes. The two blondes on day shift are the best! Always willing to put on whatever channel you want for games, etc.
