“I don't think I have ever given a diner five stars before..PLEASE put the corned beef and cabbage on your regular menu - it is that good! We were away the days leading up to St Pats so we didn't get a chance to get the corned beef and cabbage we never thought ordering it from a diner it would be very good but we gave it a shot. WOW, we would order this all the time from you guys if you put it on the regular menu. There was plenty of corned beef (5 slices) the cabbage, potatoes and carrots were cooked perfectly, not too mushy and the chicken soup that came with it was delish. What more could you ask for? Oh I know, some soda bread and butter to go with it! Lol serially, you need to add this to your regular menu we went to reorder it today and its not there, so sadly it was just a special, what a bummer!“
“I had my birthday a couple months ago and when I came downstairs to their wings and their sandwiches I was shocked to see food make me so happy. This place has been a slice of nostalgia for me ever since I first tried it 4 years ago. Keep up the good work!! I never spoke to an employee tho so I can’t attest to their service but their food is great! Thick juicy wings, a fantastic yet unique bbq sauce, and the thickest grilled chicken sandwiches (omg ?)“
“Energy. Good food. Good people. Great work Nicole, Hilary and the gang. Your warmth and commitment is palpable. The love exudes from the front door to the plate. The food was delicious; lasagne soup, mouthwatering meatloaf and red velvet cake. Thank you for what you do.“
“Wow, the food was fantastic, prepared to perfection with quality fresh ingredients, the Poblano Molé was amazing, as was the lime cake for dessert, Michael who was taking care of us for dinner was attentive, personable and welcoming. Best in “
“Impressive night . The dinner and drinks were great … don’t forget to try the Dancing Shrimp ! Our party of four never felt rushed . Management visited us a few times to make sure everything was fine . I want to give a special thanks to our server Marielle for making it such a great night and giving us excellent service !“
“Once again we had a great dining experience. We were sat in the back corner which was really nice because it felt like a private room. We were celebrating a birthday and we were able to talk and enjoy for 2 hours and never felt rushed. The apps and entrees were great. Such a nice variety. Of course the owner came over to talk to us even though it was really busy. This is always our first choice to go out because we have never been disappointed. Thank u again Nicole and staff!“
“I've eaten at Drew's a few times, and they have leveled UP with their new location. The food is absolutely incredible, the restaurant is beautiful and welcoming with a really cool open kitchen and chef's table, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my party had a great night. And I have to add to the chorus - the Voodoo Shrimp really IS that good! Everyone who orders the pork chop special always loves it, I love the crawfish étouffée, and the escargot was very good too. I can't imagine there's a bad thing to eat here!Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating and understanding of dietary restrictions, and very thorough in ensuring nothing snuck through!“
“Forget the fried chicken , forget the name of this place: get the mixed platter. Get the kabobs. Amazing flavor. Some of the best food I've ever eaten, and I eat a LOT of food. Everything we ordered was amazing. And we didn't order any fried chicken“
“It's inside a very nice little locals bar, but definitely welcoming to everyone. Staff and patrons are very nice. They have a small selection of beer but good choices, seemed to have decent liquor selection as well. They also have a little section to purchase for home. We got a couple voodoo rangers, which is our regular anyway, so it was nice to see it on tap. We ordered the salt n vinegar fries and they were ??? can't wait to go back and try other stuff. The whole menu sounded delicious and the glorious aromas from the kitchen was tempting us to order. We live just up the road and would pass this place all the time, and I'm glad we stopped in. Looking forward to trying the other options on the menu!Parking: Its probably a 20 car lot or so, but theres definitely spots. There's also street parking available if needed.Wheelchair accessibility: They do have ramps available for access.“
“We have been to Fresh a number of times, they consistently have excellent food and the staff is great. The atmosphere is relaxed, maybe a little loud, but that is because everyone is having a great time. I know we always have a great time there, we will continue going.“
“I've eaten at the Rise n Shine on occasion and find it's no frills local hometown vibe inviting. I prefer sitting at the counter old school and watching the traffic go by as I enjoy a delicious omlette. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is excellent.“
“BRIAN MAKES THE BEST GOD DANG BURGERS I'VE HAD ALL YEAR, or..... ever? I've tried the Canadian Maple and the French Onion burger. I'll be trying the rest soon.His Cuban sandwich has a pork cut in it that is cooked sous vide, you can't beat this at this price point.“
“My first visit to Porcini was a wonderful experience, we went for a 3-course prix fixe Valentine's menu and loved every dish. We are already planning a return visit to work through the regular menu. Wonderful service and everything was delicious!“
“I absolutely love the atmosphere thie place has. It's warm and inviting. The food is always great and consistent. I've ordered the streak frites and it's delicious like melts in mouth tender and flavorful. The bread with cheese is ridiculous as a starter meaning it's amazing. The specials are always good and fresh. Great friendly staff with a great view and consistent great food.Vegetarian options: Good options“
“I have been going there for 40 years now. Always great delicious food as well as, a whole page of specials. The specials are always different. Their burgers are grilled in the center of the bar. They also have a delicious cheddar cheese that they pour over there hamburgers. The house salad with the house dressing is always a winner. Lettuce, egg, little shrimp, with the house dressing! I always loved the crab Melt aways! you cannot make a reservation, there is always a wait for dinner. get there at 11:30 for lunch, it fills up fast! Lunch specials come with a soup or a salad. Recently, renovated, outside area as well. With, it’s about time, new bathrooms!Vegetarian options: There’s so many vegetarian options, especially with all of their specials.Dietary restrictions: If you need something they will accommodate you.Parking: They have handicap on the side of the building, as well as in the back of the building, which is the entrance.Kid-friendliness: Brought my kids, since they were very little. They’re in their 30s now.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on the first floor.“
“This was a great dining experience that I seriously stumbled upon. This is a classic old school Greek family diner. Portions were more than adequate, and we left with lots of leftovers.Our food was hot and delicious, and the customer service was top notch!!“
“Great vibes from with a small town feel.Service great and food came out quick!Didn’t love the corned beef hash (texture and flavor), but everything else was classic and hit the spot.Vegetarian options: Clear description on what’s what to make informed choices“
“Goal line wings... Enough said! Oversized chicken wings, marinated in Frank's Red Hot sauce overnight then dredged in the tastiest batter and deep fried to perfection!!! Pizza, steak bites, wraps, sandwiches... everything is great! They have an awesome Sunday brunch as well with an amazing French Mimosa!!! They offer a weekly specials menu, are open late and do takeout as well! Everything is delicious! This is a downtown Long Branch staple and a great place to watch the game!!! But beware, it's far from fancy and gets pretty loud on any given game day!“
“I have loved this place since the original in Little Silver when they were lunch and a small dinner venue. They had the best homemade soup. Now that they have expanded and our primarily breakfast and lunch the are still amazing. And I've been to multiple....Toms River, Long Branch, Sea Girt, Cherry Hill, etc. Consistent no matter which one you go to. And the coffee is amazing too. I love my French presses!“
“i went here today and my server rosa was immaculate. she was so nice and gave us a lot of time to order. it was a big group of us, all young so we took a while and she was very patient. 10/10 i would come here again. Ask for rosa she's the nicest !!“
“Great place for breakfast and/or lunch. The diner is small, with a long counter and two person tables and a few booths. The food is delicious and the servers friendly and attentive.Normally I only order homemade hash, but Gloria (our server) exclaimed that theirs was really good (even out of the can) and she was right. It was perfectly made and tasty, with crunchy well done edges.It was crowded when we arrived (noon), but plenty of seating after 1pm.The diner is not wheelchair accessible, but there is an outdoor space that may be accessible in the warm months (outdoor space was closed today). There are steps leading up the front door, and the inside is pretty tight, as far as maneuverability.Few parking places out front, but plenty of street parking on a quiet street.Will definitely return!!“
“Very friendly staff and for my first time my food was so good and everyone who ate it with me also enjoyed it a lot definitely will be returning thank you so much for the fast service as I didn’t wait long and everything came out perfect thank you“
“Fun, casual place with a water view. Near the Seastreak dock in the Highlands. The food is great, with a full bar and knowledgeable, friendly staff. Outdoor bar and seating in summer. Upstairs but there is an elevator. Can be a little noisy but hey, people are enjoying themselves!! (BTW, the New England clam chowder is the real deal!!)Wheelchair accessibility: An elevator is available.“
“The atmosphere here is always fun, great music and a great vibe! Our server was terrific, friendly and attentive! As always the food was delicious! We ordered blackened Mahi mahi sandwich and the grilled chicken sandwich both fresh and delicious! We love it here! It's our go to place!Parking: If we can't find parking on the side lot we usually go across the street and pay.“
“We’ve been coming to Seafarer since it first opened, when it was Highlands best kept secret. We’re happy for their success! Cocktails are great, the food truck is convenient, and this is one of our favorite spots for Dock N Dine. Always plenty of boat parking! 10/10. Great vibes.“
“Perfect relaxing breakfast with the family. Seated right away on a Wednesday morning. Friendly wait staff and great service. Ordered The big easy benedict and huevos rancheros, a French press, German chocolate latte and 3 different hot chocolates (for the kiddos). Everything was delicious and fresh. The price is very good if not better than most common diners in this area. The food and coffee is 1000% better too. This is our favorite breakfast place when we visit NJ. Definitely recommend.“
“I had my bridal shower at Z-Two on Sunday. The food was amazing and the staff was great. Debbie went above and beyond for me and was extremely attentive. She really helped make my experience there that much better. Thankyou!!! I highly recommended Z-Two for your next party!!“
“Awesome place! I came back just to load up on extra tarter sauce. Yes, it's that good. We had the shrimp, grouper and haddock platter. And I had to come home with some clams and fresh scallops. The crab soup is also phenomenal. Broth based, with a slight heat and full of flavor. Love!“

“I went into Rockerfellas and I loved it. Rico and Renee are some of the nicest people you ever want to meet and have a good time with. The food is absolutely excellent. Fun for the whole family , they catered delicious meals for my family and I ,we loved it. My kids love Rico we always have a very nice time and the customers always leave satisfied .“
“I come here often. You will wait for a seat. You will wait for your food and it's worth it. Love the staff. The ladies the young men are marvelous. I drive far to come here. It's worth it. My coffee mug is never even halfway empty.“
“Fantastic restaurant. As good as the food is and the food is awesome the staff is even better. Danielle and Maria make you feel welcome and like family. I had a surprise bday party there and I can’t say enough how happy everyone left Great food great people great time“
“Start-to-finish delicious. Dishes were all prepared with care. Added acoustic panels to help with the noise. Can't wait to go back.Edit: just had the covid curbside take out. It was fantastic. This place is awesomeEdit2: been a favorite restaurant for years now.“
“We hosted a celebration of life for both my parents here as part of their catering package. The staff was beyond helpful and the space worked so wonderful for the event. The food was joyous and people are still talking about their penne vodka.“
“Love the farm to table concept and ever changing menu. But...much aroma with not enough substance. Second time we've returned food to kitchen as it was cold. Pork chop is a venerable go to. Lamb shank lacked flavor. This place isn't bad it's just not up to where it could be. And that's a shame because we really want to go more.“
“A nice casual local family spot if you're looking for a decent meal at a reasonable price. The Grandma pie is excellent, especially if well-done. We've also had their garlic knots, zucchini sticks and several different dinners - including some nightly specials. Portions are generous and come out hot. Dinner salads are fresh and served cold. Water and soft drinks are large. Comfortable and clean dining area with booths and tables. Friendly vibe.“
“The food is always good quality and constant . Service is excellent, all staff is extremely pleasant. Burgers are great, Sushi looks excellent. (not a seafood eater). Wish there was a change in the chicken option which has been the same for quite some time. A good go to place!“
“I recently tried Maloneys on Main and had their patty melt, which was delicious. The flavors melted together perfectly, creating a satisfying meal. I sat at the bar and paired it with a blond beer, which I don't typically drink, and it was a surprisingly great combination. Overall, Maloneys on Main is a great spot for a tasty meal and drinks.“
“Barside service is great, dining room decent. Food is sometimes amazing, sometimes mediocre. Fried chicken tends to be on the dry side. The atmosphere is average, nothing crazy but nothing horrible either. All in all great place that could use a bit of fine tuning. Highly recommend their pulled brisket sub.Vegetarian options: Full vegan optionsKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Full accessability.Dietary restrictions: Kosher, also halal.“
“Came here with a party of 6 everyone loved their entrees. Such a lovely restaurant with delicious fresh seafood!! Awesome menu choices and great apps. Great pricing, service was very friendly and BYO next door. If you haven’t tried this restaurant you’re missing out! 10/10 would recommend. Can’t wait to be “
“Great menu and open kitchen concept. The menu has some really eclectic items and I had breakfast and the regular Eggs Benedict. But there was so much great lunch stuff that I ended up getting a quart of Guinness Stew and a quart of chili to go, both were excellent! I dropped almost 100.00 on breakfast and to go items ?Vegetarian options: There are definitely vegetarian items all over the menu.Kid-friendliness: I saw children in there and items on the menu.“
“Ok, so it starts with the fun name and go!!! We had Shwarma Wings ... WOW! Triple fried and crispy! And their Bloody Marys are made from a home-made mix and are EXCELLENT! The bartenders are super friendly and engaging. We loved it and can't wait to go back!“
“Even though I'm a native Staten Islander, I never really go to eat on this side of the Island. This place is an old school style restaurant and I heard good things about it, so at 59 years old I visited there on September 16, 2023 with my wife and another couple for the first time. We all loved the food. The menu is so big it reminds me of a diner menu but classier and we all loved our entrees and appetizers. The young waitress we had was adorable, efficient, professional and attentive. In short, we will definitely be going back to Canlons and highly recommend it to our friends and family.“
“We met friends for dinner last week. We enjoy not only having a meal, but, having an experience. We certainly had that at Elli's backyard! The service was wonderful. The food was delicious. And, we highly recommend the Smore tray for dessert! Fun for all.....“
“Triumph was a great location for our rehearsal dinner! We were able to rent out the space with two pool tables (which entertained the kids and adults for the whole evening) and a dart board. The drinks were served in the space so no one had to leave to go up to the bar and wait, and the food was amazing. The vibes were right in line with us and we are so thankful to all the staff for being so great!“
“Jamian's is my favorite spot in town to grab drinks, eat some awesome pork nachos, and have fun conversations with my wife. The vibe is perfect - super chill yet lively. You've got the option to sit inside or outside, which is great for any weather. The bartenders are the best in town, top-notch, always fun, friendly and inviting. They also have great live bands that really elevate the atmosphere.“
“I’m not even done eating and I have to post a review. The food is amazing, cooked like a high end restaurant. The staff are extremely nice and very attentive. I had the Fiesta Burger, medium rare and it was cooked PERFECT. This place is a staple.“
“We chose to have our rehearsal dinner here and it was the best decision! The wine room was perfect and they had it decorated for Valentine's day which was beautiful. All of our guests are still saying how delicious the food was! Corey was so easy to work with and made sure our night was perfect.“
“Apple Street Kitchen is a little, neighborhood gem. It’s slightly off the beaten track. After you discover it, I promise you’ll become a fan for life. They are known for using the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. They do try to refresh their menu every season. That way it stays current. Check them out if you’re looking for a cute breakfast or lunch place. They also have outdoor seating in their garden area in the warmer months.“
“Got here a day late for National Hot Dog day but found out every day is hot dog day here! Nice atmosphere. Right on the promenade. Had a chili cheese dog with spicy onions. Absolutely delicious! Also had the hand cut fries with salt and vinegar. Also delicious!“
“Friendly little dinner. I can see why locals like it. It's convenient, quick, and relatively cheap. Everything was bland though. It still blows me away how easy it is for restaurants like this that can still undercook and underseason home fries. There is nothing special about this place. Just another average dinner. Also, it's cash only. That's not a problem. I'm just letting anyone know who reads this that, that's a thing.“
