Restaurants near Mantoloking

“Came here for the first time and had a great dinner. The manager and the server were very friendly. The food was so good. Very large menu with so many things to choose from. The antipasto pretzel was so delicious. It was very very loud. There was a football game on and the volume was way too loud. Other than that will be coming back.”

“Great food, a little pricey as dinner for 2 with a 20% tip came in just under $200 (and we brought our own wine). I had the lobster bisque and the crab cakes entree (more crab than the usual fillers you get). Wife went for the duck confit ravioli appetizer and the lollipop pork chops entree. Nice romantic atmosphere is an upgrade over the old basic Reddington's decor that was there a decade ago.”

“Phenomenal rustic Italian restaurant. The food is top tier along with the service and the cocktails are delicious. If you don’t get the espresso martini you’re missing out! This is the top 3 most elegant, pleasant, and enjoyable restaurants on the Jersey shore.”

“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 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.”

“Let me start off w/ saying our family , friends love B2. Food is great and 98 % of the time we have a great time at B2. Unfortunately this is the second time w/ the same bartender we had a unfortunate time. Today Saturday 3/16 we simply asked if we could watch CBS the Purdue vs Wisconsin game. After fifteen minutes and zero attention from him my girlfriend asked if he could put the game on CBS again please… We were told “Listen I have a full bar I’m too busy”. The way that was handled was totally inappropriate and rude we are very kind people who live locally and simply just wanted to watch a basketball game at a bar at lunch time. After this happened he made it a point to pay zero attention to us. Luckily the other bartender noticed and made it a point to serve us. We stayed for one drink after this happened and called it a day at B2. Unfortunately this was the second time this guy has made us feel uncomfortable and has been very disrespectful and we will not be coming back to b2 anytime soon.Updated 3/25 - Eric thank you for reaching out and taking the time to talk. Very kind and very professional and it goes a long way after we had a little bit of an unfortunate time at B2 few weeks back. We will be in again and will certainly say Hello and appreciate your thoughtfulness! Updated 4/5 stars thanks again.”

I live 50 minutes way from here, but I came two more times in December to have their tacos de tripa. It’s worth the drive. I will be a returning customer for sure. The staff are friendly, the restaurant is clean, warm, well decorated with Mexican artifacts and decorations. I love this place.Gracias por su buen trato y los mejores tacos de tripa en Nueva Jersey. Definitivamente volveré aquí por mis tacos.”

“Saw some banners on the road for Spire and decided to stop in to give it a try. So glad I did. Decadent coffee drinks and desserts. And. And. And. They also sell Ob-Co donuts. Doesn’t get much better than that. Coffee was really smooth and tasty. Crumb cake was amazingly fresh. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely a calm and cool place to enjoy a coffee with friends. I’ll be back next time I’m in the area.”

“We drove an hour to visit Kaya's Kitchen (hadn't been here since last year). It is worth the drive!The menu is full of great choices ! Love the atmosphere and the food. I wish there was another location closer to me!Update! Visited on March 24It was a sunny day, so we drove to Kaya's and we had an incredible meal!I highly recommend the sampler platter which includes BBQ "ribs", Buffalo "wings, "chicken" nuggets and the delicious potato salad! I must warn you this is definitely enough for a full meal for 2 people! We boxed our sandwiches to go!”

“A gem of a restaurant! Fine dining at the Jersey Shore in a cozy atmosphere. Food is creative and delicious. Staff is warm and helpful. And Chef Bass is just the best!”

“I recently visited Margos International Cuisine and had an amazing time! The staff was super friendly and spoke both Spanish and English fluently, which made things easy. They even gave us complimentary chips and salsa when we arrived, and let me tell you, the salsa was incredibly tasty – you could definitely tell it was homemade.I ordered the Bandeja Montañero, and it was fantastic! The salad was delicious, and everything else on the plate was just as good. My boyfriend ordered a steak cooked medium rare, but it came out well done. However, he didn't mind it too much because it was still tasty.One thing I loved was that they offer pitchers of drinks, which is so convenient and very inexpensive. It's a great option to have alongside the delicious food.The atmosphere was really nice – not too loud, with pleasant Spanish music playing in the background. It's a clean and cozy place, perfect for a date night or a family dinner. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending Margos International Cuisine to others. Can't wait for my next visit! ?Parking: Lots of free parking place inside the plaza next to the Dollar Tree!Kid-friendliness: High-chairs available!Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs or any big bumps - flat surface for wheelchair accessibility.”

“This is a lovely spot! You'd think it's mostly for the summer with the ceviches, but they have all sorts of tasty hot dishes perfect for all year round. We had the grilled shrimp entree and a seafood stew -- it was so warm, hearty, and delicious! I'd come back again in a heartbeat.”

“Great place to go for a night out! Had a date night here with my wife and the food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful. Nice place for a nice night out.”

“We had an amazing breakfast. I chose the French toast (not the stuffed one) and my husband had the chicken and waffles. Both meals were delicious with plenty of food. I took half of mine home with me. They also offer specialty coffees/teas which were also tasty. Small, but cute place. I truly hope they make it as the chef has some very unique options on the menu that you don't see anywhere around here. Give them a try, I doubt you will be disappointed!Parking: This restaurant is tucked in the corner of a strip mall next to Ken's Hardware.”

“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!”

“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 best kosher fried chicken I have had.Perfectly fried chicken with a crunch.The original fried chicken is amazing. This should definetly be on your list to get a bucket of them.Waiting time was was shown at 7 minutes for orders. while ours came in just 5 minutes from making the order on one of the screens. A selection of sauces are available to go with the chicken.There is no seating as this is takeout only, but drinks, cutlery, plates and everything needed is available to go with your order.Looking forward to going back soon”
