“Nice dinner with family here tonight. Decided to get a hot meal instead of sushi and the Fish and Chips was off the charts. Super fresh, delicate and delicious, the fries were very good also. Shishito pepper app was amazing too. Very happy with the experience!”
“One of my most favorite happy hours in town and even when you do have to pay full price it is always worth it. The Gin & Jam is the best cocktail ever and I always get the meatball bowl & vegan kale caesar salad. Could not recommend this place enough!”
“Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner experience over the weekend !!!I had one of the best skirt steaks ever, it was cooked to perfection and it had the perfect compliment with the yellow rice. ?The steak was perfectly seasoned, tender and was absolutely delicious. I will definitely come back for the skirt steak on my next business trip to New Jersey. Thank you again, the service was fantastic and looking forward to my next visit to Ada’s !!!”
“My wife found this spot and it was fantastic. We tried the Detroit style pizza with salami, honey, basil and sauce and it was amazing. The best pizza I ever had. The service was great as well, we had a nice waitress who was very helpful in choosing a pie. Atmosphere was pretty cool for a pizzeria with funny signs and nice people. Only thing is that it’s a little tight and you may be sitting very next to people where you can easily overhear conversations. However, this was also cool because we got to see what others were eating and you can talk and meet new people.”
“Very cool and hip breakfast and brunch spot that really experiments with traditional favorites. The chicken and waffles provide a level of comfort that only real comfort food can provide. The brisket sandwich is flavourful, but you can end up with too much gristle. The coffee options are excellent and tasty. A hint of cinnamon or nutmeg, depending on the drink, really makes the beverage something special. Service is generally good, but some servers are more genial than others. Outdoor seating is a great option when temps climb above 60 degrees.”

“By far my favorite creamery! They have a great selection of both traditional dairy a and vegan choices. The vegan ice cream is so creamy and full of flavor- many uniquely delicious. Today I tried a beet, maple and rosemary flavor that surprised me and one called the lake, with royal spirulina andbgolden sea moss- had a fresh clean upfront flavor that ended with cake batter- yummm. The coffee hazelnut was my favorite though. I always grab a pint to go also.”

“This morning I went in after my workout to get a breakfast burrito and WOW was it fantastic. The hot sauce is hot and delicious! The burrito had some great spices and I loved it! I will definitely be back. Was filling as well!Cost after tax: $15.80”
“We moved to Spring Lake several years ago and have been looking for a high quality Chinese restaurant ever since. Lots of Japanese and Thai, but not Chinese other than store-front cheap takeout. But in a new search last night, we extended radius, we read a good review for this place, and it's all true!Worth the drive. The Triple Crown, hot and sour soup, and dumplings were all really good. Veggies were fresh broccoli. bean sprouts, etc, not just mushed onions of other places. And phone order and pick-up were very efficient. Only challenge was parking - I went across Main Street to the muni lot and paid a $1 on the Asbury parking app versus risking parking enforcement ticket for double parking in front, although other cars were doing exactly that.”

The bread was hot and crispy and each entree was perfectly prepared. We got a table by the window and enjoyed the view of the street watching people walk by. The restaurant was empty so our service was absolutely amazing! I can not wait to come back and enjoy another meal soon.”

“I've lived in Asbury Park since 2006 and have always ordered my take-out Chinese food from Gold Lee. Basic, standard fare Chinese food that they make fast, and they offer brown rice, which was a big selling point for me, a New Yorker who'd recently moved to the Shore. Friendly family operates and owns the business. I've watched their kids grow up over the years.If you're looking for higher-end Asia fusion with better ambiance, there are several of those restaurants in the area. If you're looking for quick, good Chinese food for dinner, this is the best place in town.”
“Very good food - crab cake, hummus, truffle fries, chips served with sandwiches so spot on delicious. Longer wait than usual for food, but the flavor made up for it.”

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, ready to help you choose the perfect juice for your preferences. The store has a welcoming atmosphere, making every visit a pleasant experience.

Takeout Restaurants
“After all these years, Frank's is a pleasure to frequent and get your Reuben Sandwich on! The waitresses are friendly, knowledgeable and right on time. Frank's is an Asbury Park institution and an old time deli destination.”
“This is my favorite coffee shop of all time. Love the atmosphere - always somewhere to sit, with space between tables and not too loud so perfect to have a conversation or work. Mainly have espresso based drinks personally, which are great.”
“It's always a pleasure going to Moonstruck. The food is consistently amazing, and the service is impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys delicious food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere.”
“Ten stars! My favorite place to get authentic Puerto Rican food besides what I know how to make at home from my days of cooking at a Puerto Rican rehab! I order at least once a week, sometimes twice. The best empanadas, the best arroz con gandules, the best pernil! Rosa is an amazing chef, hustler, and I love supporting her business. She’s very active on social media with letting you know where and when you can order and whenever you call, your business is appreciated genuinely!”
“I didn’t get a chance to take a photo of the food I got but I had the tacos de chorizo and the mi cabana nachos. they were so so good and i would definitely eat there again!!”
“Yesterday stopped in during a walk downtown to enjoy the beautiful weather. Staff was extremely friendly (as always) .Decided to try something new, so I had the Haulin Oats (Oatmeal Raisin Cookie). I must say as someone who loves Oatmeal Raisin Cookies…this was the absolute best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend, I’ve also tried their cupcakes and cinnamon rolls also very tasty. Never disappoints!”
“This place is quite the experience. The company is locally owned and the love really shows. The ambiance is unlike most places. It’s somewhere you can bring a date or just hang with friends. The owner is super nice and welcoming and very friendly, stopping and talking to us for as long as we wanted.They also have an assortment of beers that are all fantastic not to mention affordable. If you’re ever in the area I would say it’s a definite must try!The day I went there was also free tarot card readings! How awesome is that!”
“Had a couple slices, some meatballs and wings. All top notch. The slices were properly sauced and felt fresh. Crust was crispy yet soft. You could taste the mix of meats and spices in the meatball. The sauce felt refreshing and not too acidic, perfectly balanced. And the wings were divine. Perfectly cooked, properly sauced, and served at the perfect eat-with-your-hands-wear-it-on-your-face temperature.”
“Agree with other reviews that it’s pricy but I think you get what you pay for. I’ve gotten worse meals for the same price. Order at the counter, pick your seat, and they bring your order to you. It’s cramped inside, though, wouldn’t recommend going as a party of more than 3 or 4”

“Tiny gem in Asbury Park that makes the best soup, smoothies, and treats. Beware that it's a bit pricey, but the quality is tops. Try the pastries and a drink for any season. Local happenings are posted near the door. Check 'em out.”
“Was visiting the area last week and had no idea what to eat. Saw this place had high ratings and gave it a shot. Lemme tell you, they earned these ratings! Affordable, filling, and delicious. Reminded me of my aunt’s cooking growing up. Home style cooking and great portions. Now where I’m ordering from next time I’m in the area! Love it!”
“The Beef Patties & Curry Chicken Patties are super flaky and flavorful!! Best I have ever had!! Will definitely be returning every time I’m in Asbury Park!!”
“The coffee was really good but the corn muffin I got was so stuck to the paper that it fell apart into pieces and was really hard to eat. It may have been a little dried out I'm not sure. The premises was clean and neat. I would come back.”
“Roxanne is an excellent server. I brought all my friends because of Roxanne. She is an amazing asset to your business. I love the atmosphere and great drinks. Always an amazing experience!”
“Wow! Absolutely DELICIOUS! I’m from NC. I moved to NJ almost 1 year ago. I have tried numerous Soul Food Restaurants and today decided to try this one for the 1st time. This is BY FAR THE BEST SOUL FOOD I HAVE HAD IN NJ!!! This place is a hidden jewel! Everything was very flavorful and cooked just right. I had baked macaroni and cheese, macaroni tuna salad, candied yams, potato salad and collard greens! It was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!! The portion sizes were big! I have enough food for today and tomorrow. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. Again, this place is a hidden jewel! It’s by far the best I have had in NJ and I’ve tried SEVERAL other places!!! I rate them a 5 out of 5! Definitely worth checking out!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I specifically go a little bit out of my way to avoid the other two Dunkin locations on route 35 because this location knows how to brew their coffee. This Dunkin has the original iced coffee Dunkin flavor that I miss from so many other locations. Also they’ve never gotten my order wrong and it’s always ready When placed through the app.”
“Food and service is amazing. The atmosphere is a little off because of the homeless ppl who like to pack inside when its freezing outsideParking: Limited number of parking but the drive thrown is Very efficient and moves quickly ?Kid-friendliness: They offer toys but there arent any play areas for children ?”
“Amazing service, very flavorful food and plate presentation was great, portions are substantial. Save room for dessert!! Really pleased with this experience as it was our first time here ? will recommend.”
“Service is always great! Never wait that long for a drink and any drink you can possibly think of, im pretty sure they can make it! Looking at the beach at night threw the glass windows are always a plus!”
“The Margherita pizza and fried calamari were exceptional. We asked for the pie to be well done and crust was super crispy without being burnt. We don't normally think to go there when we dine out, but have to try it again soon.”

“Absolute fire. Joe and his team are always on point. The young man clay delivers excellent service. Joe is not only a great guy he’s extremely dedicated to providing excellent quality and service.”
“my husband and I were leaving asbury and needed a quick breakfast. Stumbled across this place and man I'm so glad we did. These guys know how to make a classic egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. So tasty and they toast the bread which is a huge plus in my book!!! Our next vacation back to asbury well definitely be back.”
“Oh my LORD! The vegan food is sooooooo good!! I tried 6 different things, and one was better than the next, and it’s BIG and HEAVY food! You definitely get your money’s worth. I will order from then again and again and will tell my family and friends.”
“This place is a gem. Wonderful, fresh food that tasted homemade and was presented beautifully. We stopped in on our way out of town, just looking for a bite, and we felt so fortunate to happen upon this place. We ordered a chicken torta and a burrito, and both were excellent. The woman who served us was kind and welcoming.”
“First time eating there today, and I ordered the Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken on top. The salad was great, presentation was beautiful, and taste was awesome. I was greeted when I walked in and I was acknowledged and told to “ have a good day” when I walked out. Place is clean and has a nice setting. Will be going back”
“Awesome little ice cream and shaved ice place in convention hall. Note- it's shaved ice- not Italian ice style. Both the small and large shaved ice are huge which is cool. Price is a bit high at $8 since it literally costs them next to nothing for ice and some juice mix but everything is out of control pricing nowadays. You can choose up to 3 flavors or just do one. Good selection of flavors. Ice cream is vegan and dairy free which is cool for those who can't do dairy or are vegan. Note if you want regular ice cream there's 2 places on the boardwalk that has that. Staff was friendly. Small tables to eat your ice cream at. Great way to cool off on a hot summer day.”
“Came here for lunch on a Saturday around 2pm and was a little busy but several seats open. Staff is super friendly and the interior is clean. Didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive at the table.Ordered the beef taco and shrimp tacos. Loved the flavor combination and the beef and shrimp were fresh. The beef and shrimp were a bit too sweet in my opinion but that's if I'm nit picking.I will say for the price per taco, there could be a bit more shrimp and beef. Comparable Mexican tacos come cheaper and with more protein filling. I think to be more competitive, they could do better in that aspect.I also ordered the hotteok with vanilla ice cream and it's phenomenal. Easily one of the best desserts I've had. Absolutely love the texture and flavor combination. The ice cream they use is also amazing. Will absolutely order this every time I come back.”
“Delicious foodFriendly and quick serviceCasual comfortable atmospherePlenty of parking availableTried their pizza, subs and fried chicken - super good! Highly recommended”
“The people working here were having a good time joking around and providing great customer service. We got the vegan drumsticks as we were intrigued and partner is vegetarian. They were honestly pretty good.Vegetarian options: They have a handful of vegetarian options which is always appreciated.”
“I used to go to 4 J's when I was a kid and surprisingly is still there the son is taking over it was his father first now the son they always make Great Great ”
“Ice cream time with dad on a nice Sunday fall afternoon. The service was nice and there wasn't a long line. Plenty of flavor options so you can keep coming back, preferably off season to avoid any line haha. Pricey although understandable due to the location on the boardwalk.”
“Cash only, but for this local cafeteria/ home-style lunch (goat Stew Thursday!) I chose takeout and the menu extends beyond stews to a la carte if you'd rather wait up to 20 minutes for fresh prepared... Good, honest people, no-frills and great flavors! Buena Suerte, amigos!”
“So good I love all their different flavors. You can get any kind of coffee, almond milk, oat, milk, skim milk, latte espresso. Even their assortment of teas is grand definitely come here you will not be disappointed. Excellent excellent excellent.”
“Came here for lunch today and was blown away by the food, atmosphere and the guy making the pizza and his assistant! Food was out of this world. Atmosphere was so chill and so nicely decorated. The people were so nice and friendly. The whole experience was amazing bc that’s what you get when you come here an experience from the minute you walk through the door - you’re able to see the guy making the pizza and then when you get the food the presentation is impeccable. The BEST part of the whole thing was the amazing food - best pizza I’ve ever had and I’m from NY so that says a lot ! Wings were soo delicious! Thundersticks were perfectly cooked with the perfect amount of cheese and crispy outside.”
“Okay the gelato and tuna salad/panini is to die for here. Great coffee too.The rustic European atmosphere is top notch, great friendly service and generally fun environment to hang out in. There is good music on all the time and a TV playing classic movies. I am not a big drinker but the Whiskey Sour (Gold Rush) is my favorite in town.”
“Katelyn was an exceptional server – her knowledge of the menu truly impressed me. She provided fantastic suggestions that hit the mark, and her friendly, accommodating nature made our dining experience five-star worthy. Highly recommend asking for Katelyn when you visit!"”
“Toast has a fun atmosphere with some tasty items on their menu. You and your kids will enjoy their chocolatey Chocolate milk. I like to start off my breakfast by sharing the hot griddled cinnamon rolls. The Irish Benny was prettyGood too!!”
“The jerk dry rub wings were phenomenal. The carrots and celery were very fresh.Two of us had fish and chips, which was not only delicious but a great portion for a great price.One of us had a chicken burrito (w/ tortilla chip & pico de gallo) special that was also delicious and a great portion.We all shared a peanut butter explosion, which was also phenomenal.”
“Shout out to management for being vigilant. To Victoria for supporting the bar by running out sides of ketchup to us while the bar was slammed. Dillon and Matt were super great. Wanna send them some special praise. Keep those 3 employees as long as possible.”
“I've been here many times and thought I had reviewed it in the past. The bread was divine- crunchy on the outside, warm & soft on the inside. The sangria was ok. The eggplant rollatini was scrumptious. The mozzarella sticks were OK. The accompanying marinara sauce was wonderful. The lasagna didn't have enough sauce, but it as good nonetheless. It tasted like the inside of the ravioli was unseasoned, and the sauce did not taste as well as the marinara that accompanied the mozzarella sticks. The tiramisu was very good and authentic. The service was immaculate.”
“Cross & Orange consistently exceeds in all areas, whether you're there for a wedding or casual brunch. Their staff's service and food is top notch.”

“It's not your "OMG let's go there" place but more of "Oh I'm hungry I guess this is okay" The food was decent our waitress was sweet and the place was cozy. It's not somewhere you would go for a drink. Their music was at a decent volume. I was able to converse with my friend and hear the waitress.”
“What a sweet spot! Bartenders are so friendly. and it has comfy bar food options. there is a grilled cheese selection in the menu, and I got the artichoke sun dried tomato grilled cheese. it was a perfect toasted grilled cheese and exactly the kind of bar food you would want! also with the side of sweet potato tots. It is cash only so be prepared for that. fun local spot!”

“Bouncers will be bouncers, what can ya say. It’s not easy dealing with the people they do everyday. Pizza is always steaming hot which is amazing considering it’s FREE with your drink purchase. But one thing I noticed is bartenders will try to get ya and switch up the price on you even if you were just there getting a round for a less price. Sketchy but besides that good”

“After all these years, Frank's is a pleasure to frequent and get your Reuben Sandwich on! The waitresses are friendly, knowledgeable and right on time. Frank's is an Asbury Park institution and an old time deli destination.”
“Had a couple slices, some meatballs and wings. All top notch. The slices were properly sauced and felt fresh. Crust was crispy yet soft. You could taste the mix of meats and spices in the meatball. The sauce felt refreshing and not too acidic, perfectly balanced. And the wings were divine. Perfectly cooked, properly sauced, and served at the perfect eat-with-your-hands-wear-it-on-your-face temperature.”
“I went to Reyla last night and the service was quick and I got 2 drinks which were exactly as described. The mezze platter had delicious pickled vegetables and was a perfect appetizer and it was a very cool spot. Modern and trendy. Will be back.”
