Tucked along Route 73 in the Cedar Brook neighborhood of Winslow Township (between Berlin and Hammonton), Briglia’s Tavern has quietly become a staple dining destination for South Jersey locals seeking hearty, creative food without the fuss. Briglia’s offers a menu of classic tavern fare that’s both elevated and approachable.
Briglia’s has been described as “small, but mighty,” and the phrase fits perfectly. While the space is limited, the kitchen more than makes up for it with impressive culinary offerings. The restaurant features two inviting dining rooms: the front bar area, with counter seating and high tops along the wall for a total capacity of sixteen, and a slightly larger back room with a more intimate ambience that accommodates around 30 guests. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes Briglia’s ideal for family dining, date nights, and casual hangouts alike.
Owner Matt Briglia, a Cedar Brook local, brings years of experience from some of the area’s top restaurants to his own establishment. In 2019, he realized his dream by opening Briglia’s Tavern. Despite being under 40, Matt is known for his hands-on approach—handling everything from daily operations to working shifts himself. He’s a constant presence, often found behind the bar serving drinks and greeting guests. Humble and personable, Matt is dedicated to offering outstanding food and great value to everyone who visits. He is the face of the business, both at the restaurant and in charge of its social media presence. It’s clear that his passion for hospitality shines through in every detail, ensuring guests have a memorable dining experience.
