“We ran in on a whim and were greeted with a warm welcome. We ordered a bunch of small plates and they were all delicious- the artichoke were cooked in a lovely sauce, the calamari were fried in a light, spicy sauce and the grilled shrimp had a terrific dipping sauce as well. All were a bit unusual and very tasty. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. A fun vibe and a creative spin on all the dishes. We will definitely return. Thank again!“

“Everything is good !! I've never had a bad meal here. Had breakfast today and it was worth the detour off the parkway. Omlet and i got a sandwich with over easy eggs sausage american cheese and French toast as the bread with maple syrup & “

“Great casual food uniquely prepared. A fair amt of choices of chicken or fish. Spicy or mild. Burgers are big and the servings of their other offerings are good sized. You won't leave hungry. They are somewhat pricy. Something to consider with a big group or family.“

“Love this place. Tasty seafood, friendly wait staff, nice cozy atmosphere, and just off the island (LBI). Highly recommend you try Old Causeway for dinner and drinks if you're staying at LBI because it beats most restaurants on the island and is the only thing I'll come back over the bridge for while staying at LBI.“

“Old staple as great as yesterday!“

“Great , fun place! Good food too!“

“Always enjoy eating at The Chicken or the Egg! Famous for the wings, I think they are cooked ahead of time, then slightly reheated and slapped with some sauce when ordered. Not fresh out of the fryer, but still good. Always fun to eat here! Awesome breakfast too! The ultimate omelet is amazing! The biggest fattest wing in the LBI area, including the mainland.“

“I got to say for sorrows is good real good quick delivery times they're honest if they say a certain time they're there but you got to be careful because when it shows up it is real hot real hot and really good food excellent“

“Another year and Dune 18 is still the best restaurant in the island (LBI). Our family #1 place to go. We never got one bad meal there. From appetizer to entree, specials, and dessert. We love that is BYOB too. The staff is super friendly and the ambience is perfect! The owners are always present and very accommodating anytime they can. Last night i had this seafood bowl was out of this world! My husband had the pork chop (Fall menu) which is the best pork chop we ever had. We love DUNE18!!“

“Great Entertainment as well as great food“

“A small spot with counter service, and a few tables outside. This fairly priced, $21 a lobster roll, spot gives you a healthy serving of lobster both claws and tails on a perfectly toasted buttery roll. They have Maine, CT and Mass choices. They created a new category called Rillaioli, a lobster roll with varying state themed offerings. Check out the Texas.The lobster Mac and cheese was creamy, and didn't skimp on the lobster portion.“

“Service was great at the beginning of meal. When dinner was served the waitress never came back to ask us if everything was OK. Next time we saw her again was to pick up our plates. My husband was missing a melted butter with his Surf and Lobster dinner.“

“I would never have known this place existed for ice cream and delicious food without being told about it and man oh man, am I happy I stopped by! The space is adorable with a ton of seating both inside and out. There is a counter for specifically ordering ice cream and another for food but there is only one place to pay. I got myself a small Jersey shore Ice cream and it was one of the best I have ever had! I 1000% will be back to have more!“

“I got the steak and tilapia combo tonight, paired with a Bahama Mama. The food was lovely, but even lovelier was my server Drew. She tended to every one of my needs, and even went behind the bar when the bartender was busy and handmade my drink. I will return.“

“Best little coffee house around! Love the atmosphere, friendly service & great menu!“

“Good service, clean, delicious breakfast“

“Really great quality. Would highly recommend“

“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.“

“I recommend the service. I recommend the food. I recommend the atmosphere. I recommend EVERYTHING about this place... now back in the day (late 70's) my mom used to call it the "dirty diner" and I can tell you for certain, it is anything BUT. They keep this place clean and well maintained and it's a joy to visit. Solid diner food, you couldn't ask for better and decent prices along with people who treat you like you're there every morning for coffee and a roll. I still don't understand the Chili-Applebee-Friday set, the people who love their garbage chain 'food'... but here you get food that tastes like it was made by someone who really truly loves you... probably better than your mom's and it is always worth stopping. Please shop/eat/support real local business, it will always be worth it. In this case, you don't sacrifice ANYTHING for eating here, you get great food, you get treated like you belong and at a decent price, too.“

“Great breakfast.. waitress (Victoria) was awesome“

“Nestled on Long Beach Island, this year-round breakfast spot has become a cherished family favorite. From mouthwatering morning classics to unique twists on traditional dishes, every bite is a delight. What adds a playful touch to the experience is the hilarious pig mascot, injecting a dose of humor into the family-friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this breakfast haven offers a warm, inviting space and a menu that guarantees smiles all around. A must-visit for those who appreciate good food served with a side of laughter. Oh & When the cinnamon rolls are on the menu definitely get one!“

“We have been coming here for years and are never disappointed. The food is amazing, the service is great and the owner is wonderful. We will continue to enjoy our weekly visits and will always recommend to our friends and family.“

“Great place! Food is excellent, great drinks! Friendly Staff!“

“Had my sister’s baby shower this weekend. Lauren and Ally were incredible servers. The food was delicious. The room was set up for a really fun and inclusive party. I like the back room for food and drink while the front room is for guests and eating. Great parking. Good prices. We really enjoyed ourselves.“

“Absolutely the GREATEST salad I’ve ever had….EVER! This is a hidden gem on the island! Owners are amazing and take pride in their business. Everything we’ve ever had on the menu is delicious!“

“The catch of the day tile fish with a Mediterranean couscous with the freshest of vegetables and fresh spices was perfection! Our server Maddy was the best- she made excellent recommendations, she listened and was genuinely helpful and fun. We've been coming here for years for special occasions in the summer and it gets better each time!“

The Padilla Family.“

“As someone with Celiac disease, we often "miss out". It's so nice to have a place that "gets" gluten free and offers great options. I had the chicken cheese steak with fries. Both were delicious! The gluten free roll was soft, not dry & crumbly. The fries were some of the best I've ever had - fresh, crisp. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommended giving them a try.“

“Excellent place to eat. I've been here 8 or more times over the years on a date night and with three grown boys. Never did anyone order something they did not like. Always good service, fun and creative food for the family. Prices are very fair. My wife loves the fish/shrimp taco and I always get the pulled pork on a pretzel roll. Their catchup is great, not you standard out of the bottle kind. They leave wipes and a roll of paper towels on your table, so you can get messy and not worry. A great casual place to go out and not break the back.“

“Great place and atmosphere is great , worth the drive up from the beach . Positive server, CARLOS WAS GREAT VERY ATTENTIVE AND EXPLAINED THE MENU IN DETAIL WITH GREAT SUGGESTIONS!!!

“Been going for years just went to breakfast with my parents who have been divorced for years but still best friends for my Mother's birthday and 3yrs ago we held my daughters baby shower and my grandsons first birthday ? what a wonderful place and great staff☺️Wheelchair accessibility: They actually do need more handicapped spots for the elderly handicapped but that's all besides that they are perfect“

“The owners are cool! Best Bartenders on the island!! Food and spirits are slamming!!! Cold craft beer and wine on tap with ice water on the side. I sit down in my favorite spot at the bar with my special glass filled with gin and homemade tonic created by the mixologist on staff. My favorite sports are on TV while enjoying great conversations with the best customers around. So order a burger it's the best in town or enjoy the raw bar and fish on the menu. There are plenty of vegetarian dishes, steak, and pasta as well. Hope to see you soon! I will be there in my favorite chair with a G n T in hand!!!“

“Just had a terrific lunch on the outside patio of the Gazebo. Fast and pleasant service in an attractive setting. The tuna tacos were about the best I have ever tasted and a very generous serving. The fries were also seriously delicious. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Dawn, who was extremely delightful and friendly. A perfect lunch on a drizzly day! Thank you again and keep on traveling!“
