Award-Winning Tavern Opening 2nd Morris County Location

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Tommy’s Tavern and Tap, an award-winning restaurant, will be opening its newest location in Morris County this year.

This will be the establishment’s fourteenth location across three states, and its second location in Morris County, following Morris Plains. Other NJ locations include Sea Bright, Freehold, Bridgewater, Edison, Wayne, Clifton, Mount Laurel, Cherry Hill, Edgewater, and Sea Girt.

The popular tavern will be opened in the Ledgewood Shopping Commons in Roxbury, replacing what used to be the Red Lobster. The establishment will be more than 9,000 square feet.

The newest location will offer a wide variety of food from wood-fired pizza to sushi, from ribs to pasta; there is no shortage of options.

Additionally, the restaurant has a full bar featuring beer, wine, and plenty of classic and original cocktails.

Tommy’s Tavern + Tap was first opened in Sea Bright back in 2015 by husband and wife Tommy and Yvette Bonfiglio. Since then, the franchise has become a wildly successful restaurant chain, earning awards and accolades.

"I grew up learning many old school values which have guided me my entire life...values like 'always work hard', 'never cut corners', 'always do your best', and 'keep your word',” Tommy Bonfiglio said in a statement. “Today these values help guide our family-owned business...and I passionately believe in passing along these values to my children and grandchildren."

Tommy’s Tavern in Ledgewood Commons is expected to open in fall 2026.
