Landing Point Tavern

If you’re looking for a fresh start in a familiar location, The Landing Point Tavern is Mays Landing’s most exciting new addition. Opened on November 21, 2025, at the site of the former Riverside High Dive, this tavern is a true passion project for husband-and-wife owners Stephen and Dawn Golden. After decades of managing kitchens for others, Stephen has finally brought his own culinary vision to life, creating a “neighborhood bar with heart” that focuses on fresh, scratch-made comfort food and a welcoming local vibe.

The atmosphere is classic tavern—warm and unpretentious—centered around a full rectangular bar designed for conversation and camaraderie. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch or settling in for a Sunday game, the space feels like a home away from home, complete with brand-new HD TVs wrapping the walls to ensure you never miss a play.

Features & Highlights

The menu is a love letter to comfort classics, with Stephen emphasizing that “everything is fresh and made right here.” Local early birds are already raving about the Chicken Pot Pie and the French Onion Soup, both noted for their rich, homemade depth.

You’ll also find high-quality tavern staples like Crab Cakes, Pork Chops, and Pulled Pork Sandwiches. For those looking to share a few bites over a cold beer, the kitchen turns out fantastic wings, “tails,” flatbreads, and the crowd-favorite Cheesesteak Egg Rolls. Looking ahead, the Goldens have big plans for football season with a dedicated “Taste of Philly” menu, bringing stadium favorites like real Philly cheesesteaks and soft pretzels to Mays Landing so fans can skip the traffic and enjoy the game locally.
