Check out the lobster tails, whole lobsters and steaks of course. Super nice staff, too.

The Spain Inn in Piscataway has been a local favorite for as long as I can remember, and there's a lot to say about it, mostly positive. Let's start with the area I frequent the most - the bar. Jimmy, the bartender, is a standout character, eccentric, wild, and fun. He's also an excellent bartender, despite his quirks. He's attentive, and the bar itself has a great atmosphere. Separated from the rest of the restaurant and banquet hall, there's a camaraderie among the patrons that adds to its liveliness. The drinks are good, but be mindful of your tab as it can add up quickly. The only downside is that the bar area is a bit small and can feel stuffy, with stools and a few tables along the wall. Now, let's talk about the food. I've dined at this restaurant several times in different stages of my life - as a kid, teenager, adult, and even a grumpier adult. The food here offers typical Spanish cuisine (from Spain, not Latin America - an important distinction). Strangely, I find that the food served in the bar area is often better. They have these thin, crispy potato fries that are absolutely delightful, adding texture and salt to many dishes. They're like homemade Pringles, but fresh and superior. Overall, the food has consistently been pretty good, featuring many traditional Spanish dishes. As for the banquet hall, it's a suitable option if you're planning an event. I've been in the bar area while events were happening, including weddings. While it's not extravagant or massive, it's a decent-sized venue. The separation I mentioned earlier works well for events, and there's another room available for hosting. That's a plus. I'm torn between giving this place 3 or 4 stars, but I've settled on 4. The only downsides are the occasional stuffiness and the lack of updates, although they have made some improvements over the years. The staff is friendly, and you can tell they take their jobs seriously, which adds to the overall vibe of the place. All in all, I recommend the Spain Inn, especially if you're looking for a spot to enjoy drinks and appetizers with friends. It's a Piscataway staple worth visiting.
