Pitman

About the restaurant

Merryman’s Pub is located in the heart of downtown Pitman, NJ. This spot was once home to the Pitman National Bank, more than 100 years ago! Merryman’s owners, Bill Merryman and Vito Mannino, are thrilled to bring this beautiful building back to life for the community. Vito is also the owner of Mannino’s Cucina Italiana and Pizzeria Mannino’s, two well established (and loved) restaurants just steps away from the pub.

We had lunch at Merryman's before the matinee at the Pitman Theatre. Our server, Ashley, was friendly, pleasant and attentive. The food was very good, and we sat inside due to the weather. But we have been outside and it is just as enjoyable.

Lovely dinner at Bonefish, our dinner was beautifully prepared and quite delicious… from the edamame appetizer with the chefs’s kiss seasoning to the fantastic special of pumpkin ravioli with swordfish to my pumpkin crème brûlée, I was in heaven for my birthday treat. DH didn’t love the butterfish texture but it was a new adventure. Service was excellent and we will be back.
