Trama's Trattoria 115 Brighton Ave, Long Branch Italian • $$$
115 Brighton Ave, Long Branch

“This has become my new favorite restaurant down the shore. I was there many years ago. Something has happened since then. The place has been beautifully updated and the food got even better. Service is superb from the moment you enter. Although not on the menu just ask. The chicken parm is the best but not to be outdone by the halibut. I don’t even usually like molten chocolate cake but I gobbled up this one. Great place!”

Mar Belo Portuguese Restaurant/Lounge 611 Broadway, Long Branch Portuguese • $$
611 Broadway, Long Branch

“This visit was for a pre theater meal prior to attending a performance at the nearby NJ Rep. Appetizer (Chorizo), Entree (Racks of Lamb, each order perfectly cooked, to suit Rare and Medium enthusiasts), and dessert (shared Tartufo) were all excellent! Rack of Lamb entree pairing with Spanish potatoes and a delightful mixture of vegetables was arguably the best combination we have experienced in any NYC or NJ venue. Dining room was understandably a little noisy and busy on a Saturday evening but wait staff and Maitre De worked assiduously to overcome these constraints.”

Every slice is consistent. Toppings are distributed perfectly evenly. You have to try the big pie. It will never disappoint.”

“Absolutely love this place. We don’t live nearby, so we didn’t know what to expect. The minute we walked in, we were greeted by a few workers with a smile . They accommodated our seating needs and made us feel at home. The food was great and prices were great as well. Our waitress kept checking in on us to make sure we were good and if she can help us with anything . Love the old fashioned sports bar vibe , definitely something I haven’t seen before in kosher dining . They also have a more elegant seating area for more formal dining . Super kid friendly as well.

The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, making it my go-to spot for a delightful dining experience.One dish that I simply can't resist is the chicken parm pasta with vodka sauce.

Every time I indulge in this dish, it never fails to leave me completely satisfied and wanting to come back for more.Another favorite of mine at Jack's Goal Line Stand is their mouthwatering quesadillas. Loaded with melted cheese and a variety of delicious fillings, these quesadillas are grilled to perfection. The crispy exterior and gooey, cheesy interior create a delightful texture that keeps me coming back time and time again.Whether it's the amazing chicken parm pasta with vodka sauce or the irresistible quesadillas, Jack's Goal Line Stand always delivers exceptional food and a welcoming ambiance.

DON'T pick them up off the floor and put them on the customer's table to be eaten.. it's GROSS.. the server was nice, but they clearly have no clue about food service.

Windmill Hot Dogs of West End 586 Ocean Blvd, Long Branch Fast Food • $$
586 Ocean Blvd, Long Branch

“The staff here are really nice and friendly! The burger and fries were so good! I was a little sad that the vat of pickles was gone but it's been a long time since I've been here so who knows when it disappeared. The boss/owner was there when I went in and to be honest, he seemed like an absolute jerk. I felt bad for the staff who were having to deal with his rudeness and grumbling. He couldn't even speak to them like an adult. He sat with his back to them and barked orders at them through his burger, never once turning around to address them properly. He did this in front of customers too, so I can imagine it's worse when no one's around. Overall, this is definitely a great place for a good greasy burger, just avoid the grumpy little garden gnome in the corner. ?”
