sorry if this has been posted before. I’m meeting some friends prior to the 2:00 game Sat. Any (very local to the RAC) lunch recommendations for around noon? I prefer a place with ample parking If possible since I don’t want to be scrambling for parking. Thanks.
OT: Lunch Recommendation for Sat.

- Start date
In case you didn’t hear, henry’s Diner on Livingston is closed. There is a diner on Stelton road in Piscataway that’s good.
Brick House Tap and Tavern on Stelton Rd is about 2 miles from the RAC.
Nice servers :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
If you want to dine with Twerp fans, go to the Green Turtle in North Brunz
Gabriele's on Centennial Ave. in Piscataway is a good lunch place.

Other places within a mile of each other on Centennial include: Applebees, Piscataway Pizza, Smashburger, Olive Garden, Fridays, IHOP, Longhorn Steakhouse, Chipotle, Red Lobster, Red Robin.
All are less than 10 minutes from the RAC.

I was interested until I saw their beer menu. I would think a place with "tap and tavern" in their name would have a more interesting beer selection.
Lola’s in Metuchen opens at 11:30 on Saturday. It’s about 10 mins from the RAC. it is a BYOB but there is a liquor store attached to the restaurant. Food is delicious
White Castle on Stelton. great parking and easy in and out :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Would love to actually. My digestive tract objects, however. Good memories though.
Only recommendation is take the traffic into the RAC very seriously. I would rather be parked by 1pm or 1:15pm. I would rather be inside the RAC early instead of waiting on a long line that doesn’t move. So go to eat early wherever you go.
The Blue Horse in Highland Park just opened a few months ago. Supposed to be tasty pub grub with a plethora of beer wine and whiskeys
Back roads (Durham to talmedge to Ethel) is less then 5 miles to the RAC. I guess if you hit the lights it could be 12 minutes
I really miss little Teddy’s subs. You older guys with me on that one?
Yes, but Jersey Subs is right there with them. The problem with Jersey Subs is that unless you work in or near New Brunswick, you probably haven't been there since it's only open Monday-Friday 9 or 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
5-10 mins further out on Oak Tree Rd near South Plainfield/Edison border, this is a great breakfast / brunch spot, fairly new

I would call first,but I would think Henrys Diner right next to The RAC will be open on Saturday. Their Twitter says they are open right now. The phone number is 848-445-3232 and here is the Twitter for Henrys Diner.--https://twitter.com/HenrysDiner_RU?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author
Where are you coming from? I take 27 to New Durham Rd to Ethel Rd. Coming that way gets you right into the lots with no traffic, sold out game or not. So when we eat before or after a game, we stop in Metuchen, usually for fast food with my teenage son. But there is Hailey's Harp Irish Pub and the Mexican place in Whole Foods that serves draft beer if you are looking to have a beer before the game. From there it's about 10 minutes to the RAC.
Apparently it will be open again for the next couple men's BB games (MD and OSU) according to their website and an email they sent out this morning. Looks like it'll be open pre-game (starting 2 hours prior to gametime), as well as during & post-game.
Called today. RU club def open 12-2 serving their limited bar menu.
The Asian restaurant on Livingston is good. Very authentic. Don’t know if it’s open though.
This is men's bball letter winners game and lunch is at Rutgers club but I'd guess we'll be in a separate area from the main public dining room... throwing that out there just in case .
Before the MSU bball game Ash was hosting recruits on the other side of the club.
Closed for semester break, many of the employees are students, reopens to normal hours on Jan. 22
According to the website, Henry's Diner is closed weekends for Winter Break until Jan 21
