Fun place for watching bands, bar has many choices, bartenders are good.. place is clean and seems to be more 45 or older. So a good choice if you aren't looking to party with the 20 year olds. Does get a little packed inside though as people dance all around. Has live music often.

Foos is terrible, it's over priced for locals who loved the real Jacks Tavern it's nothing more than a corporate shithole that looks nice. Zero Stars from a long time Belmar resident.

Awful bartender. She obviously had no experience with people & obviously didn't want to be there. They either were desperate for a bartender or just bad training. I had to say hello, I had to ask for a beer, had to ask for menu. Just ridiculous , was so disappointed & frustrated! Definitely will not be back if this bartender is there. I will say the wings were good!

Bartenders are the worst. So many times I've been there and it takes forever to get a drink. Every time they walk right past you as you have an empty glass and they never ask if you want another. Get more astute and better bartenders!

We arrived and got seated the waitress was very nice, seating was great sat outdoors and there was a live band, they played so loud it was difficult to hear my partner speak, we only ordered entrees and we waited 40 minutes for our foods to arrive , we were starving and ready to leave. The fish was ok (not worth the 40 min wait), nothing out of this world but I have to say the hero of the plate was the honey ginger carrots! Overall this place felt like a loud pub, because of the live band. Food was overall alright.

The food was very good. The service was very good. This place is exceptionally dog friendly. We ate on the patio with our pup.

Diverse interesting menu. The arugula salad was great. The clam fra diavolo special was so-so: many of the clams were cooked to a rubbery un-chewable consistency; and the dish contained bits of some meat which wasn't mentioned in the description.

First time visiting here as we celebrated a long time friends' birthday. Our table of 10 were all over the board as to ordering and I didn't have the luxury of asking their thoughts on their dish. My wife and I ordered one of the specials, a broiled grouper florentine with cherry tomatoes in a butter sauce. Done just right, with an ample side of asparagus and an even larger dollop of mashed potatoes which came on a separate plate!!!!This was executed beautifully, and I have no doubt that it was the right choice. Fwiw, it's a bar, with outdoor seating, ....a real nice room on what was a beautiful night. The menu smacks of pub grub, but we were ecstatic as to our grouper dish. There is a limited entree menu and I have no doubt that the kitchen stars on any of which is on the menu or their special menu for the evening. We were there to catch the birthday girls' cousin who plays there each first and last Wednesday. Frank with his Gibson is an amazing musician who along with Tommy on saxs (soprano, tenor & baritone, along with flute) with Jerry on the congas just tore through a musical itinerary that had them covering George Benson, Carlos, War, to changing gears and doing Neil, and Dylan. They were great and not to be missed. There's so much music to be had down here, be it AP, Bradley, etc. Not many had music as what went down last night at Jacks. There were also more than a few people who were there for Frank and Tommy. Very cool place. Waitresses rock and make sure you're taken care of.
Very good outdoor seating, love bringing our dog! Bartenders very attentive, good drinks and prices. Great mix of music.

This place is really great. We went on the weekend and food was really terrific. I had the blackened pork chop and it was amazing. They have a great menu and all the food that was being served looked appealing! They had a good band the bar was packed and people were dancing and having a great time. I will def bring people there for a nice night out with good food and entertainment! Great servers too!
