“Absolutely the best in town or around. The food here is better than other Chicken Holidays for some reason! The way they make the ribs is insane!!! The wings, jumbo shrimp, and everything else here is so good it’s crazy! It’s a must try spot. For sure!!“
“My husband and myself new Mario and Maria and their daughter Sylvia and their son-in-law rest in peace Mario The restaurant is fantastic delicious food great people very well done I think you should go and check this place out haven’t been there in a few years ready to go back thank you Dee and “
“AMAZINGGGGG!!! After hearing nothing but excellent things about this restaurant I finally made it and it lived up to all the hype!! Everything was amazing from the time we sat down, staff was very friendly and welcoming and our waitress was so personable and very attentive. All the food was top notch, the crab toast appetizer special on the fabulous sourdough bread was unbelievable, I have never had crab that fresh! Also, I highly recommend the potato app ? I will definitely be back!! Chef came out to ask how everything was, great guy! I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!!!!“
“My family and are from California. We’ve been a JBJ fan since the beginning. We were visiting our son who is stationed at McGuire AFB. We took a family trip to JBJ Soul Kitchen because we wanted to give donation to the community. The servers were all very welcoming. The food was excellent! We all enjoyed the experience. Would definitely come back the next time we are in town.“
“Kept hearing about this place so came in, food was outstanding! Great portions, the marinara was amazing. Had the stuffed veal and was great. Everyone loved all the food. Will def be back. Had numerous staff and owners check on us and place had a great atmosphere“
“What an amazing experience we had for our anniversary! The DJ was amazing and his name was DJ Bobby, he loves Michael Jackson and loves to interact with the crowd. The waiter and waitresses were very nice and attentive. It was a shame the weather was very rainy but we made the best of it. Also, the food was okay and the pasta was very mushy and inedible. They explained they don't normally get it catered from Capone's but it was the only place available for the last sail for the season. Besides the food, everything else was absolutely amazing!“
“We went there tonight after a hard days work and we were pleasantly surprised at how friendly the staff was!! The waiters were unbelievably quick to take our orders and bring our food out! The whole time the place was packed and they were always smiling and being super friendly!!! This place will not disappoint!!!!“
“A very high end restaurant with absolutely wonderful menu items. The atmosphere friendliness of staff and quality of food cannot be beat. We really enjoyed our visit. Food was absolutely amazing. We'll definitely come back for any special “
“Sandy's is truly Cozy and has all the breakfast comfort foods. Great service too!! Our group had the Skillets and you can't go wrong with any of the options. Has to be some of the best coffee I've had and biscuits to die for - buttered, toasted, light and flavorful. We will be back.“
“I photographed a wedding here back when it was known as Martell's Waters Edge and the location was incredibly epic! At every turn I had incredibly scenic locations to provide my couple with epic photos (see attached).In addition the staff was super friendly and helpful as well as the food was really amazing! Everyone was enjoying it!I highly recommend this location if you have a wedding or event!“
“From the moment my amazing girlfriend and I walked into this quaint cafe, we fell in love with the vibes, decor, smells and more so, the people. They were so accommodating. They walked us through it all and ended up with the best breakfast. We're from Chicago and this place hit the spot! Cheers, Lava Java House ☕️“
“The food is exceptional and consistent! It’s nice to have local business like this thrive. The owners are awesome people that collaborate with other businesses in the area; bringing everyone up with them, that’s the way small business should be. Try a lettuce wrapper classic burger with old bay fries; you won’t be dissapointed.“
“We go here every weekend (best grits, breakfast quesadillas, good omelets, good service!) while eating today they asked if we could switch tables to accommodate a larger party which we didn’t mind anyway, but they comped the bill! Good people great food!“
“Great local place for Breakfast or lunch. We both had pancakes and they were absolutely amazing. I love the decor or older tables, mixed and match chairs, big coffee mugs and tons of great signs and photos on the walls. Oh and a ton of awards as well. Really god find.“
“Ok, I came yesterday and it was amazing. Teas and Lattes are great. (Not trues coffee yet).Today this Mango Checken Nacho [and in Hate Mango, but mom insisted]... Amazing! I like Mango now.Visit #3 - got the special veggies Buffalo wrap! ? this is amazing!And the Avocado Tofu Scamble toast which I give it an 8. (I'd change 2 things to make it 10 in my book, 1. Heat the plate to prevent toast from cooling down. 2. Spread the toppings to be mixed and not three separate)Atmosphere: seats are too hard, and straight backed. The menu alone is reason to, but it's just not comfortable. Too much hookah art LOL.“
“This is a very friendly, very welcoming local bar with a good selection of food. Nothing fancy, but this is not a fancy place. It's come as you are, relax and feel at home. You won't be disappointed, but you won't be thrilled either, this is good hardy fair at its best.“
“Miss old-fashioned Jersey shore breakfast? Look no further than Poppy’s. Run by Tina with Poppy (named by their grandson) in the kitchen. Their lunches are as good as their breakfasts!The prices are unbelievable! And sandwiches come with soup or fries. (Get their soups, incredible and all homemade.) they have an extensive list of daily specials all under $13.95 (including the soup.Huge menu. Their meatballs and gravy are homemade, so is their coleslaw and tartar sauce. Service is great. After 40 yrs in the restaurant biz, they know how to do it right!They have a fun 50’s theme with Elvis memorabilia. Even the bathroom have fun 50’s decor.But number 1, to die for, is their homefroes. Sliced thin with onions (on request), super crispy! The best I’ve ever had!!!Drop by for Jersey food cooked by Italian-Americans! Can’t get better than that!Say “hi” to Tina for me.It closes at 3pm, so come early!!!“
“Had the pleasure of having brunch here for Easter. Great set up. Lots of great dishes with Prime Rib and ham ( both cooked perfectly ) on the carving station. Salmon and mussels were fantastic. Pastas were great. Server ( Masha )was so sweet and efficient. Can’t wait until next year!“
“Thankfully we got a table as walk ins, but the place was pretty busy. It’s a very beach vibe and the menu reflects all of the summer favorites. We got the Korean wings and avocado fries for starters. The wings were good, but I would pass on the avocado fries. I decided to take a chance and go for the tuna bowl. To my surprise, the tuna was delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly and it filled me up. My boyfriend got the double burger and he could barely finish it. His only commentary was that the waffle fries were trash.“
“Came here for breakfast one day from the outside i didn't know they served breakfast. I thought it was just hot dogs. But was i wrong they serve breakfast lunch and dinner And the whole menu is available anytime which is great for me bc sometimes i like something more then eggs in the morning. But this time i kept it traditional. I had 2 eggs fried with bacon and crispy fries with some toast. All that for $5 u cant beat that with a stick. Parents had the same thing we also added a side of sausage and some porkskin (Cheecharone idk how to spell it lol) on the side. Both sides were delicious as well. Hidden gem in the Beachwood area. Ill be coming back for lunch and dinner. The service was great. Very nice and friendly. The inside was immaculate clean and very bright and vibrant. The inside is very spacious with alot of seating. The food was fresh and tasty.“
“Finally, Cucina Fresca has come back to Bayville! Let me tell you something, people: if you're craving flavor, if you're craving taste, if you're craving the kind of experience that'll make your taste buds stand up and salute, then you need to head straight to Cucina Fresca!From the moment you walk through those doors, you can smell what Cucina Fresca is cooking, and let me tell you, it's not just food; it's a culinary masterpiece! Their sandwiches are like a symphony of flavors dancing on your tongue, and their pasta? It's like a flavor explosion in every bite!So, if you're ready to take your taste buds on a journey they won't soon forget, head on over to Cucina Fresca and prepare to savor the flavor!“
“Our pizza adventures continue and we found ourselves at the Anchor Inn a few nights ago. The place was full of families and friends enjoying a varied menu. We came for pizza but ended up ordering an appetizer and salad. Everything was very good! Service was fast and attentive. There’s an accessible entrance. Street parking was easy, but there’s also a parking lot. The place is probably a madhouse in the summer, but we had no trouble getting a table.“
“Loved my experience at Red Fox. Nice to have this spot right off the beach at Island Beach State Park. Very popular so it does get crowded, but for good reason. Nice to have draft specials in the middle of the day. And a raw bar w great clams.“
“My boyfriend and I have been coming here pretty frequently for a month now. We created our own version of pizza…Grandma Style Marguerita Pizza with bruschetta on top. Fusaros is great because they made it absolutely perfect and tastes amazing! Hopefully they add it to their menu for other people to try. Never a bad meal from there.Sometimes we will order the Chicken Mimma or Pasta Mimma…both delish and tasty and very helpful serving!Give them a try!“
“Nice spot in downtown Toms River. Really nice staff, extensive menu with good variety, and in our four visits, have not had one dish we didn't enjoy. Quickly becoming our go to spot to stop in for a nice meal or get take out.Parking: Depending on time of visit, local street parking can be somewhat difficult“
“Really cute place! They have paintings inside on the walls that you can buy. The food was good. The soup of the day was delicious! The waitress was very sweet and we had no wait. Food came out quick. Nice place for a quick bite or some coffee.“
“Their Seaside Tony is the sandwich to get, if you're there for the night, weekend, or live there( especially live there). All the locals order it. Service is excellent. I used to go there when I was a kid. And it's the same owner. The only time I go there now is when I'm in town. I've been critiquing food for the past twenty years and Steaks unlimited is by far the best Cheese steaks in the tri state area, which includes Philly. (In my opinion) atmosphere, is a down home shake shop. Very courteous and helpful. Highly recommended before you walk up to the Beach Comber“
“First time, went with my wife sat at the bar on a Saturday afternoon.Lunch Specials fantastic. Beer offerings nice. Prices of everything well within GREAT.Service at the bar by a French girl named Barday... also known as Nicole. Extraordinary personality and efficiency. Everything and more one would want in a bartender.Highly recommend.“
“This is a little tiny restaurant with a big big impact. Staff is friendly places clean it's eclectic the service was amazing food was outstanding there was a lot of food the portions are huge and the price is reasonable I recommend this to everybody it's very small but delicious a wonderful establishment“
“Nostalgia plus great food and ice cream? Yes, please! Menu is refreshed and yummy, with lots of fresh produce and healthier options. My clam chowder and half chicken salad was fabulous. Even the sliced egg was thoughtful. The frozen yogurt is perfection. Friendly’s will always be my favorite. Wish we had one in Hampton, VA!“
“On the price:value axis, this place has it going ON.The carbonara I got wasn't a true carbonara, more an Alfredo with bacon, but honestly I like my pasta saucy so no complaints here!It was delicious. Portions fabulous. For the $20 I paid, I got 2 meals of pasta.My waitress was busy AF but on point. She always glanced at me as she passed and knew what I needed and just kept the flow going. Wish I knew her name. Thank you ?Busy, vibrant, fun spot. The kind of place you walk in a stranger and walk out with a new bar buddy.“
“Table 13 with JanineLadies and Gentlemen,This is still a service industry. We couldn't have been reminded of this more until we had dinner tonight. We love Shady Rest for the food(any chicken or fried scallops should always be considered) but for the most part, the dining experience has usually been random, at best. Tonight, we had the pleasure of being seated in Janine's section, and we've never had a finer experience at Shady Rest. Janine was The Best! Everything came out correctly and we never waited for a refill. We will be back soon on a Saturday night to sit in Janine's section.“
“This post relates to the “New Owners” of Verace’s! The food is outstanding. But by far, my absolute favorite is their pizza that has a sweet and salty taste to it! The pizza crust is on the thin side and so crispy, yet not hard, but definitely crispy! The square pizza is topped with chicken that is marinated in a sweetish coating that has a minor tang to it, coated in sesame seeds. Don’t worry, it’s not “spicy hot” at all. It is also topped with red onion, green and red peppers, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella cheese! The absolute best!!!! You have to give it a try, you won’t be sorry!And the new owners are a beautiful, hard working family who is doing their best to balance their home and work life; with their older children working at the Pizzeria as well from time to time.Please try and support this business as they are a welcome new addition to the Silverton area!“
“First time visit and we will definitely be back.Unfortunately, we along with many others in the area have been missing this great dining spot probably because from the outside it looks like a bar —- not the cozy place it is. We loved the food —- generous portions and perfect menu choices not to mention the server,Hannah, she is delightful. She told us that there are changing specials every Thursday-Sunday !! All things considered we will do our best to tell everyone what they are missing.“
“I always get their cheese steaks with peppers and onions. Soo good! My only complaints, they close so early! They close at 3:00 and i would love to order dinner for my family at times. I went there 3/10/24 @4:15 pm and they were already closed. They would make a killing if open for dinner until at least 5:30 -6:00 pm. Also, would be fantastic if they delivered, such as via Grub Hub or Uber Eats etc.. Other than those 2 complaints, I LOVE the food and the staff!! Highly recommend ?“
“Food presentation and taste was wonderful. I was happy to see that they still serve a salad and side dish with the main entree as many restaurants don’t anymore. The restaurant itself was very cute, I do wish it was a bit larger of a space only due to noise. There was a very large party and the people talking/laughing in combination with the acoustics of the room just made it sound extremely loud inside, my husband and I could barely concentrate to talk. It would have been nicer to have the party in a private area, if the restaurant was larger. The staff were all very friendly and kind. Overall we were impressed and will def be back!“
“This is an absolute wow restaurant. There is nothing on the menu that's generic and everything has a personal touch to it. I got to meet the owners and they were the most down to earth friendly people. The clams were an excellent appetizer, followed by one of the best medium-rare prime ribs I've ever had. They absolutely nailed it. The rest of my party enjoyed the seafood they ordered. The dry scallops had by others were raved about and the service was top notch. This is a high end seafood restaurant with all the charm of a seaside inn. I absolutely can't wait to go back.“
“Have been coming here for 20+ years since I was a kid. I swear it keeps getting better. Years ago sometimes you'd have a bad day, a rough server, food that was good but not great. That's never the case the last several years everything about this place has gotten better. I get something different every time and today's was my favorite cocktail and favorite meal.“
“This place is always consistent. Good filling food at a great price. The staff was attentive and yet not hurrying. The only criticism this morning was the breakfast potatoes and although it does say "crispy" these were well done and bounced across the plate and resisted piercing from my fork. I think next time the hash browns instead. Everything was hot and fresh, coffee urn on the table was enough for 3 cups, I liked that. Perkins is always a safe bet whether here in Lacey, Toms River or Scranton Pa always good and priced fairly.“
“Came in for an early dinner with my son. We arrived at 4pm. By the time we left there was a wait, and it's obvious why. The food was so good. The wings were delicious, and cooked perfectly. I had the scallops and my son had the cheese steak. Two very different meals and both absolutely incredible. Our waiter was so awesome and attentive as well. Would 100% come back.“
“If you keep it simple here you'll be fine. Picnic table seating and a decent burger make the Chop Shop a very smart low-key choice when in the always sketchy Seaside Heights vicinity. Remember to go to the Chop Shop serving food instead of the numerous shops in the area dismantling your 2022 Camry. A very solid burger. Four, very solid stars.“
“Loved this place!Staff is friendly and are excellent at service. So eager to serve. Made us feel like family.Loved the menu. This is a real old time diner with items like sausage gravy and biscuits or chipped beef. The omlette was great too.We will go back again when we are in town.“
“Was there to enjoy their delicious frozen margaritas... HUGE TIP: it was only $1 extra to get Patron than their house tequila... Also after 9:00pm was half price appetizers which was also great they're chicken wontons A+++ & the frozen mango margarita with sugar not salt also A+++“
“This was our first time visiting Turning Point and we were pleasantly surprised. This location is new. The staff and service were excellent. Our server David was wonderful. He appeared to actually like his job which is hard these days working in the service and restaurant industry. Our food came out hot which when you have eggs it it means that it was sent to our table immediately after being prepared and not sitting under a hot lamp. The food tastes fresh and delicious. We for the The GOAT omelet and Huevos Rancheros. We would both order them again. The menu isn’t large like a diner but selections cover everything you would want for a breakfast or Brunch. Coffee was made free and a carafe left at the table which is nice so you don’t wait for a refill from a sever. Lunch menu small but they have salads and sandwiches which all look great. I would definitely go back to this location. We went on a Saturday a little after 10am and there was no wait. Prices are the same as a diner but exceed the quality and definitely the service.“
“If their menu included calorie counts, I would've passed on House of Fries. But when you're down the shore, it's ok to splurge. I ordered the Cheesesteak Fries and they were piled high and delicious. I couldn't finish it. My only complaint is the amount of calories I consumed. Diet starts Monday!“
“love megs. it's a smallish comfortable and very cozy. I'm local so I can take advantage of megs in the off season . it still attracts a crowd but not too bad. the food is excellent. I love their pancakes, or omelets. my,kids have had other food here and love it. I've also had lunch here and love their chicken salad. Recommend it highly.“
“First time here pleasantly surprised by the choice of natural, vegan, and vegetarian foods, as well as options for meat eaters, especially in this area. Some Items were low fat, fat free and tasted delicious. Most restaurants (even grocery stores) in this area do not cater to healthy conscious people. You could also get sweet potato fries, chip and homemade guacamole. they even had a delicious kids menu.“
“Employees very polite and helpful...not as crowded as usual...prices are up about 2 to 3 dollars more..always get chicken parm it just didnt have it great taste..usually its mouth wateringParking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: ...yes kid friendly..“
“Updated January 31, 2023 still a solid restaurant for lunch. Over the last year we have eaten here easily over 20x for lunch and never a bad meal. Soups still very good, subs awesome and my new favorite is their streak sandwich- look out! It's very good.Feb 17 2022. Go to local lunch spot of late. Good soups and their salami, ham and provolone sandwich is very good.Good grilled panini with vegetables, mozzarella and pesto.“
“I’ve been going to this place when not originally started out as a Blimpies. Then it became Richards Sub world several years after. This is the best place for a Sub, very friendly staff, great thick subs! They don’t skimp on lunch meat. This establishment is a ICON of Bayville. The best sandwiches in Ocean County!“
