“This was my first time here. I'm visiting from Pennsylvania. It won't be my last. We ordered dinner to go. We had Chicken La Nonna, and Housemade Rigatoni. Everything was light fresh and delicious. The portions were large enough to have some for lunch tomorrow. Fresh bread was excellent. Now let me tell you about the Creme Brule cheesecake. I can't. It was so good that even I am speechless. I may have to go back tomorrow for another piece. Absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and the service was great.”

“What a wonderful restaurant. Upscale atmosphere and service. The food is beyond delicious! I look forward to returning!”
“From the first bite to the last, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was just right — the kind of place where you settle in and don't want to leave. But what turned a lovely dinner into something we'll be talking about for years was Z, our waitress. She was patient, generous, and had a gift for making our kids feel like the most important guests in the room — she made the whole evening feel fancy in the way that only truly means something when you're little. By the end, the kids had already decided (loudly, and non-negotiably) that this has to become a fixture of our annual family vacation. We left full, happy, and grateful — and already counting down to next time. Thank you, Z. We'll be back.”

“Our group found Emporio by way of TikTok (shocking, I know). I am always a bit hesitant to check out restaurants with buzz by influencers as it can truly be a completely different experience than what is shown online. However, I can say that I absolutely loved this restaurant as soon as I walked in. It's got a rustic and authentic vibe as you walk in to the bar and casual dining area, before being brought to an equally rustic and slightly more elegant dining area in the back of the restaurant. We had a wonderful and friendly waitress that handled our group of six. To start we ordered the croquettes, the shaved kale brussel sprout salad, and the focaccia bread. Each of these items was absolutely delicious as were the various pastas and steak that we ordered as our entrees. The cocktails were equally as good; we throughly enjoyed the olive oil negroni and tiramisu espresso martini specialty cocktails. Our group dined as part of a monthly supper club and also for a birthday celebration. This restaurant had the perfect ambience for our get together, and it helps that the food was delicious and the service was great. We'll definitely be back!”

“I visited The Herd Juicery and was totally impressed. They have refreshing fruit bowls and juices, and they serve hot meals that are gluten-free and plant-based. For anyone who has celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's nice not having to worry about gluten cross contamination. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Even my husband loved his bowl and felt full afterwards without needing to take a nap. The smoothie bowls were a perfect guilt free desert!”
“there big burgers, home made fresh mozzarella cheese sticks, and hot wings I had mild kids had hot, home made mack and cheese on the money, 💰💰”
“My first time here. Loved it. The food was delicious! Felt like I immediately was in a neighborhood restaurant. And the prices weren’t over the top. Very reasonable.”

“Great place! Our waiter, Greg (?) was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and did a phenomenal job. He greeted us with so much enthusiasm and made us feel like we were his only table all night. Especially considering it was packed at 10pm Fourth of July weekend, his level of service was so impressive!!
My biggest rec is to skip the steak and order from the hot appetizers! The burger with the beef bacon jam was amazing. We also loved the Wagyu gyoza, short rib gnocchi, and cauliflower.
The Lemon meringue dessert was also delicious although kind of random they garnish a desert with micro greens ? I picked those off :)”
“We just had our wedding 12-7-2024! From consultation to end of evening Rachel, Lisa and Nelson took care of us! I can’t say enough! Food was top notch! Our signature drinks were spot on! The decore was handled perfectly! They made our dream wedding a dream! Everyone was raving that it was the best wedding they had been to! Thank you! We didn’t have to worry about a thing! We are so happy! I totally recommend having your special event at McLoone’s pier house!”
“Delicious food at reasonable prices.. great customer service too”
“Great food, service and atmosphere! Cynthia was a friendly and caring waitress. We really enjoyed her service. She added a lot to our experience.”
“Come here every time I am in town. The whole team hustles. Last visit was made all the better by our server, Mike. I was sitting in the far side of a large booth. He noticed my ice had melted in my decaf iced americano and brought me a fresh cup of ice. I was blown away to the quiet attention to detail.”

“Stopped by the newly opened Gigi’s in Long Branch on my way to the beach. First off, loved that they have a parking lot which didn’t stress me about finding a spot cause I was going to have that adventure when I headed to the beach. I ordered the grandma’s pie and garlic knots! The grandma’s pie had pesto on it and I am a s***** for pesto!! Love the crust style being crispy. Hands down the best garlic knots I ever had! Don’t sleep on this place. It’s 3 blocks from the beach, easy parking and they deliver. I look forward to some pasta dishes on my next visit! Other key likes of mine was the aesthetic, it’s beautiful Inside but decorated to make you feel outside. I was very impressed with the kid friendly atmosphere of the chalkboard wall, beanbag seats and they even have juice boxes on hand for the kiddos. They also accommodate our tweens and teens with a pizza wing mural for their insta! They really thought of everything. The whole staff were so accommodating and genuine. Thank you Tommy and Faye for a great experience.”
“I order from Nunzio’s at least twice a month. It’s always fresh, in large amount, and just as good as the last time! I went in for pickup once and everyone was so kind and the kitchen was very clean. Today, uber forgot an item and they personally drove to my house in a flash! I love it there!”

“I’m generally a skeptic of brunch as a meal (who is consistently hungry at 11am?) and generally don’t like ordering food I can make well myself - but man is this food good. I think it’s the fact that every single ingredient is elevated and fresh, so the whole is way more than the sum of its parts. Am going to order some cheese and pesto to go. 5/5 - will definitely come back.
(Sorry there aren’t pictures - ate the food too quickly!)”
“Since I was looking forward to visiting pier village again this year this is one spot I was looking forward to trying. Here you can mix and match cookies or brownie. They also offer good selection of ice cream flavors and toppings. They also offer indoor snd outdoor seating. I decided to try the combination of s brownie with a Nutella chocolate chunk cookie & ice flavor of caramel pretzel fudge. It was delicious, with so many possible combinations you really can't go wrong. During summer its a very popular spot so lines tend to build up but they move quickly. Prices are reasonable so it won't break the bank. If you're in the area definitely worth stopping by.”
“wow, the best tacos anywhere in monmouth county! they were so full, the berria was delicious, and the fish taco was fresh local fluke, so good, almost a whole filet or more was in the 3 soft tacos, so good. also enjoyed the guac and chips platter that came with a tomatoe salsa and a mango salsa, so good. nice beer and wine selection. live music was great. sat inside due to weather. next time will try the outside bar.”

Cheap Eats
“Went to Scala's Pizzeria in Long Branch with a friend and it was a great experience. We shared a margherita pizza for only about $17 and also got a rice ball for $3.50, which is really affordable. The pizza was really good, authentic, and crispy, everything tasted fresh out of the oven, and I highly recommend it! The rice ball was decent as well. There's a wide array of menu options available too. The atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and warm, and the service was warm, kind, and friendly. It's also really close to Long Branch beach, making it a convenient and affordable spot to grab lunch on a beach day!”
“We stopped in here for lunch & the entire family loved their meals. We had a nice time here, the place is clean, staff is speedy & professional. We were able to park on the side. Their us outdoor & indoor seating. The food looked presentable and it all tasted fresh. Will definitely be returning here when we’re back in this area.
Kid-friendliness: One of my kids only eats tenders & fries wherever we go. My husband and I were craving tacos from here as highly recommended. Glad we were able to accommodate our child in a taco establishment.”
“This is the best brazilian cuisine in the area. So good! Even if you’re not in the mood for barbecue, their other protein options are great. There’s so much variety. They’re very consistent too. I love it!”

“First time here and I wish it wasn’t love loved this place everything was beyond perfect and delicious food drinks (wish I took pictures but when something looks and smells that good u don’t think of pictures)service definitely coming back.”
“The food is consistent. And DELICIOUS. I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants as it’s my favorite. And this is my go to. Slow-er on the service but that’s due to how incredibly busy they are with take out orders alone. It’s family owned and run. They are so nice and I can’t speak enough about how authentic the food is.”
“We went to El Rancho last month and it was absolutely delicious. The guacamole was very fresh and creamy. We also ordered the steak chimichanga and steak tostadas. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure 😊”
“We split the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and the kitchen sink fries, and it was ok. I guess it would be good bar food, but the fries weren't seasoned, so it was good with the sauce they put on, but when we got fries with the sandwich, the plain fries were unseasoned. We didnt really think this should be under "dive bar" so yea. Refers to food as nips and idk if it was the chicken tenders or just some other item used”

“I order doordash from this location every morning and they're great! The one thing I'd like to suggest, instead of sealing the bag you guys put your smoothies in can you put the seal over the straw hole and around the side of the smoothie lid? I had one dasher bring me the smoothie with the bag tore open and told me verbatim "those idiots don't know how to pack right I had to open your bag so the smoothie didn't fall over". I requested a refund from doordash and tossed the smoothie cause he could have done anything with it he wanted. Otherwise I love this place!!!”

“This is hands-down my favorite coffee shop. Everything on the menu is incredible. I’ve tried so many different drinks here, and not once have I been disappointed. Whether it’s a matcha drink, coconut water hydrator, an iced cold brew special or one of Jen’s signature creations, every cup is thoughtfully made and absolutely delicious. There’s an item on the menu for every taste and preference, from skinny drinks to collagen protein add-ins, kid friendly ice pops, and more. You can tell that a lot of love goes into every detail — from the coffee itself to the welcoming vibe and friendly service. It’s the kind of place that instantly becomes a local favorite, and once you try it, you’ll keep coming back. If you’re even thinking about trying this place, do it. You’ll be a regular after one sip.”
“Amazing food, view and atmosphere! Darrel and his team are top notch. Highly recommend lunch, dinner or happy hour at this spot!”
