“Enjoyed an excellent meal last night with friends. Food was great, casual friendly atmosphere, service was excellent. Had the mussels, salads were great, seafood curry, blackened fish special, and short ribs to name a few. Then finished with daily bread pudding special and a tsunami for dessert! Will definitely return!“
“A Jersey Shore staple, Runners' conspicuous presence along Route 35N is easy to miss if you're a first timer.However stop in for dinner just one evening and you'll be sure to never miss it again. A seafood market by day, it's no surprise that every meal tastes ridiculously fresh.Portions are always generous and pricing is very fair; even sometimes seeming much cheaper than competing restaurants.I've yet to ever have a bad meal at Runners!And if the dining room is full one night, don't shy away from takeout! The food is always well prepared so you don't lose a bit of flavor when opening it up on your back deck during a cool summer evening.Kid-friendliness: Vast selection of kid-friendly options that extends beyond just chicken fingers!“
“So...haven't been in a while but eating with 3 others and every dish was really good. People are so nice there. This is off season and was so happy it was open. Will definitely go back. Off season dinner you miss the beautiful water views but everything else was great!“
“Words can't describe how good this place is. I drive 1.5 hours just to eat here. I've been to hundreds of restaurants, and Spanos is the only one I have ever been to that consistently provides the best hospitality. Chef Joe Spanos greets every table with a warm smile and some house appetizers. The food is out of this world... can't wait to come back again this summer!“
“My husband and I had one of the best meals out in a long time. From the moment you walk through the door you know you're in store for something special. The ambiance is outstanding and the service is amazing. The menu is top notch. The steaks are the best quality and cooked to perfection. Talk about a hidden gem!“
“Both my wife and I had General Tso’s Chicken which was fantastic!Wonton soup was great.Service was great and you have to bring your own alcohol.Highly recommend!We returned last night and again everything was fantastic!They had a special , Garlic Parmigiana Chicken Dumplings! Unbelievably great! Like mixing Italian with Chinese!Our waiter, Dave M. was also very friendly and knowledgeable!One of my favorite places to go!!“
“If I had to describe the food I just had at Manera's, it could be done in two words: absolutely outstanding. I've been eyeing up Manera's since they first opened, and replaced the now-gone Famous Dave's BBQ. Having heard nothing but good things about it, and seeing that they had a steak au poivre burger - I knew I needed to give it a shot. Fast forward to today, and a quick lunch trip later, I'm officially hooked. I arrived at 12:00 on a Sunday, with the place absolutely chock full of patrons (they had two parties that had booked the place). Despite this, service was absolutely stellar, our waitress was incredibly attentive and helpful, and the food came out stunningly quickly for being so crowded. My burger came out exactly as I ordered it (medium rare), and I've gotta say, it might be one of the best burgers I've eaten in my life. On par with Pat Lafrieda burgers in terms of meat quality, and the sauce, brie, and char all lived in perfect harmony. I'll be thinking of that burger for weeks to come. Even the fries were perfectly cooked! Decor is a little sparse, which would be the only 'downside' I can think of. Personally, I dine out for food, not ambiance, so this isn't a huge deal to me. All in all, if lunch being THIS good was any indication, I'll certainly be back for dinners in the future. An absolute gem in a town that's full of entirely too many chain food restaurants, and one that I highly suggest folks give a try to. Absolutely top notch!“
“Omg. The chicken Frangelica! First time visiting the new location and boy was it great! Our server (J) was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. She laughed with us, catered to our needs and made perfect recommendations. Can’t wait to go 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!“
“Last night was my first time coming here and I’ll definitely be back. We were a party of 9 for girls night and ended up in a beautiful secluded room. We didn’t feel rushed at all and the service and food were both excellent! I highly recommend if you have a larger party like we did. Can’t wait to come back with my husband!“
“This is our go to restaurant because we always know we will have a great meal. The food is amazing. Staff is on point and so professional. Kate, our server was one of the sweetest people we have met. Made our meal even more special. Thank you for an awesome meal and we will be back!!“
“I randomly had a delivery order from here, and I hit the jackpot. This food was absolutely amazing. I AM IN HEAVEN. I was not prepared for food this delicious, my taste buds were attacked. Chile relleno, al pastor tacos, elotes, rice and beans. I was in cozumel 5 days ago and this was like I had never left. If anyone needs me, I'll be in a food coma.“
“I love Daniel's Bistro. Have been going for years, and most recently about a month ago, and it was perfect. It has great vibe, staff is personable, it was a group of five so we ordered a lot of appetizers and desserts, too. Will be back again soon.“
“We came here on a Saturday night with a reservation for a group of 6. You enter through the pizza shop to get to the dining room and were promptly seated. Our server was excellent! She was very polite, friendly, did not mind repeating herself and was very patient with the elderly members of our group. The food was delicious, the portions were huge and everyone enjoyed their selection. Found a new gem with great prices plus BYOB. Only downside is the dining room gets a little loud. But we will definitely go back!“
“Picked up 2 - Feast of the 7 Fishes for Christmas Eve, and my family and I ate like kings!! One traditional and one lemon garlic, prepared with Pinot and just so easy to cook using the QR code right on the side of the pot! Would recommend The Boiling Point for big or small gatherings. Their deserts are great, too!“
“This family owned franchise location goes above and beyond with there customer service and there attention to detail when it comes to your dining experience, from the bread and olive oil in the beginning of your meal to the amazing desserts and cocktails at the end. The cozy old school atmosphere is the best, compared to all the other restaurants in its class that follow the new look of modern plain themed dining. Highly recommend the seafood here as it is literally handpicked by the owner meticulously for your pleasure.“
“Our favorite seafood restaurant in the area! Their food is always incredibly fresh and well prepared. Casual, authentic ambiance, and BYOB which is always a plus. Our favorites are the sushi, lobster roll, crab cakes, and lobster bisque. Highly “
“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.“

“OK, I know it’s not summer yet. However we visited the shrimp box for the first time and we have to say it was excellent! Our server Taylor was superior and went above and beyond. The atmosphere is amazing and the food is delicious. We will definitely be back And we highly recommend this spot whether you’re on vacation or you live here year-round“
“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.“
“Mad Fish company has been a great addition to the island. What started as take-out only has evolved into a full sit down restaurant. The food is delicious, the serving sizes are great and the welcoming nature of Maddie and Gayle are unmatched. This is BYOB with both indoor or outdoor seating. I recommend the combo platter, it’s fresh and plentiful.“
“This is our 4th time there. First time with original owner back on. Always first rate. Had the elk rack with braised cabbage. Absolutely stellar. My wife had the classic double cut pork chop. We love this place. Our waitress Bridget was phenomenal. So nice & pleasant and a pleasure!! She’s awesome.“
“Everything was excellent!! We really enjoyed it all. I had the meatball app and scallops both delicious. My husband had the special Chilean sea bass and Thai mussels. Our friends had the beet salad and fluke and one of the pastas. No one had leftovers—it was gone! We are too quick for photos sorry! We’ll definitely be back ?“
“Went night before Valentine's. Got a great table. Our server, Jason, was fantastic; friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and attentive. Food was amazing, as usual. The special, "Chatham Cod Casino" was beyond delicious. Excellent experience.“
“Overall a very good experience celebrating my birthday & a friend's. Our waiter Dylon, did an excellent job making food recommendations & checkin up on us. The food seemed a bit pricey (I know everything has gone up in price) but was delicious. One thing I would mention is when the folks come around to the table to clear places, glasses, etc. maybe coach them to wait a bit and remove mostly all the dishes at the time time. Outside of that this place is a hit! Keep up the great work!“
“Pier 281 is easily the BEST marina at the Jersey Shore! It has an awesome luxurious chill vibe. The location can’t be beat with the inlet nearby and the close proximity to Windward Beach with Brick Summerfest fireworks and the awesome pirate ship for added ambiance! The owners are absolutely amazing and go above and beyond to keep the marina very well maintained. I personally love the fact that it is not HUGE, so you can get to know some people, but you can also have a lot of privacy to just relax and enjoy! It truly is the ideal marina and has allowed my family to create countless memories to last a lifetime! ??⛵️“
“My children had a 70th birthday dinner there for me on 1/20. The food was amazing! The service was outstanding, and the birthday cake, well I seriously could have eaten the entire cake! Everything about this restaurant is outstanding. There were 12 of us at the table, they were welcoming and right on top of everything. I highly recommend this place! You won’t be sorry. Oh the the entertainer singing was awesome! Very nice, I will 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.“
“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 your real deal seafood market. And it was well priced too. We got two lobster tails, a set of crab legs, two steaks, and a lemon and it was only $70 and in amazing quality. Upon entering the shop the employees are working fast and moving through customers. Very happy with my experience here!“
“The food is outstanding. Ate here for the 1st time and we were amazed at how great and fresh the food is. Definitely highly recommend to everyone. We got the lobster, but I ordered the tacos because you get more for the same price and I have to say the salsa that's made fresh is great and the fresh chips are the best I have ever had in my life. Well worth the money and will definitely be returning. My only issue is the seating area is tight and separate from the kitchen, which the poor servers have to go in and out of the doors to get the food and not a good set up.“
“This place sells by far, the freshest seafood I've purchased in Ocean County. Today I bought and cooked shrimp, monkfish and scallops. The shrimp tasted like shrimp(not iodine) the monkish fish was the freshest I've ever eaten even in restaurants, this monkfish truly tasted like poor man's lobster but not at lobster prices. and the diver scallops were meaty, didn't release any water when cooked. Seafood Treasures is the only place I'll buy fresh seafood at reasonable prices. This place is truly a treasure!“
“Oh, the seafood history is very tangible here and park seafood on the boardwalk in Seaside Park Nicholas, the son of Bobby and the grandson of Nick clam House, has boardwalk history in his back pocket.Everything is super fresh everything is upgraded. All the flavors are super bright steam clams are super fresh. They do a nice job on the house lemonade if you want Ford work history Nicolas and park seafood and clam House is the place for classic boardwalk.“
“You will not ever have a better flounder sandwich on rye bread anywhere. Only warning is that if you get it to go, the bread will get soggy from the coleslaw side so I recommend separating the sides. The absolute best flounder sandwich anywhere.“
“Our server, Fern, at the Toms River location was absolutely spectacular! From the moment she greeted us with a smile and hello, we felt instantaneously welcome to the restaurant!! Her customer service skills and upselling skills were beyond exceptional! We came in with the idea of just getting a little something to eat, and she helped us broaden our horizons and tried the new salt and vinegar shrimp!( out of this world) she refilled our beverages in a timely manner, checked on us frequently, did not rush us with the endless shrimp options and spaced out the timing of the next dish perfectly! Kudos to the team in Toms River and a big thank you to our server Fern for making our experience pleasant! Will definitely be back because of food and service!!!“
“Went with my husband today, he had the crab cake sandwich with house cut fries, both were delicious. I had the blackened shrimp poke bowl. First time I had a poke bowl and it will definitely will not be my last. I only gave the atmosphere a 4 star because it was super loud inside and I basically yelled the entire time to talk. We had Victoria as our server and she was an excellent one at that. Prompt and extremely pleasant. We will go back again to try something else and hopefully have her again as our server.“
“The food was amazing I highly recommend the tagliatelle mushroom pasta. My only complaint is that my partner was charged $12 when he asked about substituting asparagus for broccoli and we weren’t told that it would be an additional charge (they didn’t even eat the broccoli) and when we asked about it we were brushed off. Other than that it was a great experience“
“This restaurant has an old fashioned pub atmosphere. I got seared scallops special on their specials menu. Scallops cooked perfectly served with light avocado grapefruit and pickled onions. Their burgers are supposedly really good as well. Their butter was infused with something sweet, so of course, was delicious. And their wedge salad was one of the best I've ever had. It had a light blue cheese dressing with tons of extra blue cheese and a lot of bacon and tomatoes. Absolutely delicious.“

“I have been going to this restaurant for a number of years. The staff is always lovely. Very well trained and kind. The food is superb. Always cooked well and delicious. The fireplace room is my favorite. The live music is always tasteful. Really a great spot!!“
“First visit to the Spanish potato, food was excellent, the service was great we had John! Highly recommend for a great meal and good time!! Sangria was wonderful!!Parking: Plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp right in front to get in“
“The best pizzeria in Brick to grab a slice or sit down for a fire dinner. The pepperoni and sausage was exactly what a meat lovers pie should be. Also, the owner made my pie and was very friendly and accommodating to anything we needed. Love when the guy making the dough is the guy making the dough ?“
“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.“
