“We went to experience the famous burger. I was disappointed in the soggy bun. The onion gravy was delicious but made the bun fall apart and couldn't enjoy the cheese or the meat Maybe a harder roll would be better. The steak tartar was amazing seasoned and the parpadella small plate could eat as a meal. But the carrot cake OMG!! The BEST!! I would eat here again to get a very impressive salad and the carrot cake again!!“
“Don't go on a Sunday! Last time we were there was on a Friday evening, menu was good. Sunday only offered a $50.00 brunch and a very limited menu. Crab cake was half the size of the bun it came on! We got there after one and the brunch closed at 2, so yea, menu please - not very appetizing.“
“Beautiful upstairs indoor-outdoor bar upstairs open seasonally.Satisfying steaks. Delicious collard greens. The best I’ve ever had!Live music on Monday’s.Great specialty cocktails. Bourbon slushy is a must! I’m not typically a burbon drinker but the flavors within this drink mix together so well.Bread pudding desert was average.R bar is a hidden gem in Asbury Park.“
“We had a truly wonderful experience here. The staff at the host stand were so friendly and engaging. We were seated immediately and greeted by our server, Julianna, who was an absolute rock star. The place is so warm and inviting with the giant fireplace and decor. The atmosphere is great here. All that and then the food being so delicious and the service being so stellar makes for a great night out. Do yourselves a favor and make a reservation here ASAP!“
“I have passed this place many times and can't believe I've been sleeping on it! Romantic, cozy, and the food is great. Our server, Eric, was great! Celebrating my sisters birthday dinner was a success. We had the oyster special and arancini balls, dinner for me was the salmon fettuccine. The chocolate cheesecake for dessert was the perfect way to end our meal. Thanks for a great experience - we will definitely be back!“
“I absolutely love the atmosphere thie place has. It's warm and inviting. The food is always great and consistent. I've ordered the streak frites and it's delicious like melts in mouth tender and flavorful. The bread with cheese is ridiculous as a starter meaning it's amazing. The specials are always good and fresh. Great friendly staff with a great view and consistent great food.Vegetarian options: Good options“
“I have been going there for 40 years now. Always great delicious food as well as, a whole page of specials. The specials are always different. Their burgers are grilled in the center of the bar. They also have a delicious cheddar cheese that they pour over there hamburgers. The house salad with the house dressing is always a winner. Lettuce, egg, little shrimp, with the house dressing! I always loved the crab Melt aways! you cannot make a reservation, there is always a wait for dinner. get there at 11:30 for lunch, it fills up fast! Lunch specials come with a soup or a salad. Recently, renovated, outside area as well. With, it’s about time, new bathrooms!Vegetarian options: There’s so many vegetarian options, especially with all of their specials.Dietary restrictions: If you need something they will accommodate you.Parking: They have handicap on the side of the building, as well as in the back of the building, which is the entrance.Kid-friendliness: Brought my kids, since they were very little. They’re in their 30s now.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on the first floor.“
“We recently hosted my husband's 50th Birthday at the Elbow Room and it was amazing. The staff was incredible along with the food and ambiance. The staff ensured that every single detail was handled perfectly from start to finish (even coordinated with our outside vendors). All of our guests really enjoyed themselves and we look forward to hosting more events here in the future!“
“I grew up coming here and haven't been in years. The food hasn't changed and it was really enjoyable. Extensive menu for an Irish pub and it was all good. Kids menu was good. The Reuben was my favorite. The service was good and the ambience was an authentic Irish pub flare.“
“Jean, our server was pleasant, high energy, fast, quick witted, most attentive and will become your best friend as soon as you meet her. Food and cocktails were outstanding !! Live music by Andy Russo was a pleasant surprise - playing all of our favorite Bruce songs with a special guest joining him playing Stevie Nicks Landslide! Mr C’s was one of the most pleasant dining experiences we’ve had since we’ve moved to Asbury park. This dining experience will not disappoint! We will be back in the near future and cannot wait to be back here in the summer and go up to the sunset deck!“
“Had a plain/pepperoni pie and a chicken vodka pie with sauce on the side. Pizza was good. Thin crust style. My blackened tuna bites were good. Slightly overcooked than I had asked but still worth finishing the plate. Kinda of an old man fisherman bar feel with pizza but still had some old school charm to it.“
“This was an absolute hidden gem! We were trying to find something midway for our friends meeting us and decided to try it. What a pleasant surprise! Our waiter was super nice and provided great service. They even accommodated a special request of clams on the half shell, and they were great. Shrimp scampi over linguine was tasty and lobster ravioli was delicious and even came with half a lobster tail. Desserts were great too. Definitely will be back. Ambiance was a little dated, but it was clean including the bathrooms.“

“I went into Rockerfellas and I loved it. Rico and Renee are some of the nicest people you ever want to meet and have a good time with. The food is absolutely excellent. Fun for the whole family , they catered delicious meals for my family and I ,we loved it. My kids love Rico we always have a very nice time and the customers always leave satisfied .“
“i had jolie as a server and impressed is an understatement! I came with my parents and husband and I cant wait to come back and request her, she was incredibly attentive, fast, and friendly! She exceeded my expectations. I feel like family here. Great place would recommend.“
“Interesting mix of regulars, college kids, and locals depending on what time you arrive. Definitely worth waiting if under 20 mins. The drinks are good and there are plenty of food choices. Check out the daily specials and happy hour prices. Bonus happy hour is all day in mondays.“
“I only had the beer so I cannot comment on the food, though...the reviews on that are fruitful and quite good.If you grew up in the Woodbridge-Metuchen-Edison area, you definitely hit up Hailey's on more than one occasion. D'Arcy's has the same vibe, just closer to the Jersey shore. "Football" scarves are in abundance, great crowd, great beer. What more could you ask for? The Irish are the best...or maybe I'm just a little biased. Slainte.“
“Barside service is great, dining room decent. Food is sometimes amazing, sometimes mediocre. Fried chicken tends to be on the dry side. The atmosphere is average, nothing crazy but nothing horrible either. All in all great place that could use a bit of fine tuning. Highly recommend their pulled brisket sub.Vegetarian options: Full vegan optionsKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Full accessability.Dietary restrictions: Kosher, also halal.“
“We just discovered this bar. It was recently refreshed - Clean, comfortable, and bright. Forget the old McCann's. Yay! A real happy hour - 12-6 every day. We're eating through the menu. So far, everything is excellent! We've had the wings - so fresh and hot. Quesadilla was hot and a generous portion. Shepherds pie to die for. Maryann is awesome.“
“Great dinner and wonderful service. Tried the mixed fajitas and the snapper vera cruz and both were very tasty. The guava and cheese empanadas for dessert were delicious as well. Definitely coming back here to try some of the other interesting entree options.“
“We wandered in here on St. Patrick’s Day even though the website said they were closed on Sundays. Speakeasy bar in a residential neighborhood with friendly bar maids and locals.To crowded to order food but, I definitely will be back to try the “eats”!Went back last night for “eats “ and had the thin crust pizza, if you’re a fan of this kind of pie as am I this is your place. They have a generous drink pour also. It is now in my regular monthly rotation!“
“Really great upscale bar food plus! Maria was a fabulous server and recommended the zucchini blossoms which were awesome. We had a burger, fish tacos, tuna app, and chix empanadas which were all top notch. Good drinks and wine. Looking forward to a return visit. Tight quarters so make a reservation.“
“It's in BELMAR. Ok? The old Paul's Tavern, expanded to host up to three musical acts at once, great space and there's something for everyone!! To heck with this Lake Combover nonsense tho. Parking is definitely a pain, but it's a beach town, it's to be expected!“
“Its literally an Italian tavern! Rustic wood cabin vibes, with a comprehensive classic Italian menu. Upscale casual. Staff works hard, food prices are fair for 2024. They have tons of weeknight specials too, and have a vibrant bar scene for sports. Solid cocktail and wine list. Only knock is the food itself is above average, but not a full fledged 'great'. A few items were bland and not well seasoned. Portion size is hit or miss depending on what you order. Seems like a very dependable place in the Manasquan-Sea Girt-Spring Lake area - especially if you take advantage of their specials and promotions.“
“Great Irish pub! Nice atmosphere, dark wood, 2 levels, and fireplace on 2nd level. Wonderful menu of traditional irish fare along with irish american choices. They have fabulous Irish music sessions every Tuesday evening. Staff is great too, friendly and efficient. It's one of my favorite places to go either on a date for 2, or a family dinner.“
“Jamian's is my favorite spot in town to grab drinks, eat some awesome pork nachos, and have fun conversations with my wife. The vibe is perfect - super chill yet lively. You've got the option to sit inside or outside, which is great for any weather. The bartenders are the best in town, top-notch, always fun, friendly and inviting. They also have great live bands that really elevate the atmosphere.“
“Went here on a Saturday. Bartender Laura was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the working of the bar and food. Etc. Cute little "dive bar". Right up our alley. Not noisy. The patrons were all locals and friendly. We had a few drinks. Played some pool and left. Will definitely be back for lunch or their Sunday brunch.“
“They charge you on soda refills which was $3.50 a pop. It should be noted they charge for refills. I didn't see any notation on the menu. I may have missed it, but next time I'll order only one. It is BYOB place. I wonder if I can bring a soda??“
“Went last night for dinner. The design of the place is very nice and they had live jazz music in the corner.Service was great and very attentive. I ordered the asparagus soup and the lamb pappardelle. Delicious, filling meal. I sat in the lucky seat so I got a free drink! Fresh OJ. Overall great experience. Hope to be back for more food and music!“
“We just visited Primavera for the third time today!! The ambiance is calm and relaxing and really beautiful!! Staff is friendly and helpful!! All the food is out of this world!! The Chef's Pasta is amazing and so unique!!! highly highly recommend.“
“We brought our family there who were visiting for the weekend, 10 adults and 2 babies. Sean answered our call when we asked if they could accommodate us all and he then greeted us when we got there. He was very welcoming and nice, Our service was great. I did not catch our waitresses name but she is a younger girl and was amazing. She was beyond friendly and attentive. We all got different foods. The special, butternut squash soup was a huge hit at our table. Everyone loved their dinner as well ( chicken franchise, lasagna, short ribs to name a few) and my leftovers were just as good the next day. We certainly plan to go back. Thank you to the staff there for a great family dinner.Kid-friendliness: Our waitress reviewed all of the kids menu options with us and both our waitress and Sean checked on the two little ones while we were dining.“
“Fun bar with decent parking on the outsideIf you show up during the day they also offer a good selection of dishes that the chef picks out everydayMost of the music is Brazilian and they even fly in a couple of artists straight from BrazilIn terms of crowd this place gets packed usually Friday or Saturday nights and it’s a equal mix of newer and older peopleGreat place to visit during a night out by the beach in longbranchWheelchair accessibility: The entrance has a ramp for wheel chairs“
“A whole new place to the old Nicolas since my last review five years ago. Menus change based on the time and day of the week. We've been there three times in the last three weeks. Dinner, lunch and mid-day. Never disappointed. Bar service is outstanding.“
“Let me tellllll you! This place is amazing. I've been here once and felt so welcomed and taken care of. I came in for lunch, had a beer and ordered a grilled cheese. I ordered from JD and asked for extra tomato's. LET ME TELL YOU this man brought me a tomato grilled sandwich with cheese and that's exactly what I was looking for. The bartender Gina was also a gem. So pleasant and sweet. I do not live locally but I will take the drive to come be back because of these two!!!“
“With delicious food and outstanding service Drifthouse is definitely a must visit gem in New Jersey. We have been to this eatery 3 times in the past 3 months and each experience leave us with better memories than the last. Service from reception, to our server Gianna and finally management (Nancy and Hafid) is impeccable, providing a warm and inviting vibe. Lastly the food is just amazing and we can't wait to go back again.“
“Friendliest bar in Monmouth County. Focus is on the genuine, rather than the pretty. If you care about the décor, go elsewhere. If you care about non-pretentious, friendly folks, and cheap drinks, and good, down-to-earth food, this place is tough to beat.“
“Two words: FRIED ZUCCHINI. It’s a must as an appetizer. Get the pesto cauliflower and use the same sauce for dipping while you’re at it. SO GOOD!In general, my partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The veggie risotto & panzanella salad were our meals of choice and the portions definitely filled us up.We recommend the Red Bank location (and the Asbury location!) to all ☺️“
“Decent dive/sports bar. Cool atmosphere with all the signs. The bartender was very nice and attentive. The food however was mediocre. Got burgers, wings, etc. just ok. They have homemade chips here which is a nice touch however they werent cooked all the way through. If i want to eat this place wouldnt be my first choice but for drinks its not bad“
