“Energy. Good food. Good people. Great work Nicole, Hilary and the gang. Your warmth and commitment is palpable. The love exudes from the front door to the plate. The food was delicious; lasagne soup, mouthwatering meatloaf and red velvet cake. Thank you for what you do.“
“I had the Octopus and Calamari in a delicious broth. I enjoyed it very much. Two family members had the Scallops special and they said it was very good. The other family member had the pork chop special and he loved it. Try the muscles appetizer, it’s phenomenal!!! Our waitress was knowledgeable and very polite. The dining room is clean but a bit cramped. The place is a bit small and noisy but it was a nice meal. It’s a byob establishment, bring some wine or beer and have a good time.“
“While I no longer live in New Jersey, every time I visit my family, I try to stop by The Buttered Biscuit. It is truly one of my top 5 brunch experiences in the country, and I’ve had a lot of brunch experiences in my life.It’s always busy and humming with energy. The benedicts are divine, the coffee is incredible, and the biscuits are absolute heaven. Highly recommend a visit. It’s worth the wait!“
“One of my most favorite happy hours in town and even when you do have to pay full price it is always worth it. The Gin & Jam is the best cocktail ever and I always get the meatball bowl & vegan kale caesar salad. Could not recommend this place enough!“
“The place is very relaxed The food is really good. Everything's fresh. Made in house. The prices are certainly reasonable. I would definitely return to this place again. I really liked the food options and the innovative concepts with their “
“I've eaten at the Rise n Shine on occasion and find it's no frills local hometown vibe inviting. I prefer sitting at the counter old school and watching the traffic go by as I enjoy a delicious omlette. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is excellent.“
“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“
“We have driven passed Capsized Cafe many times, without turning in. Talk about missing the boat! We were looking for a fresh take on breakfast, out, and when we did the Google thing...up popped this eatery.Read many of the glowing reviews and headed over to try it for ourselves. Glad we did. Coupled with great food and super pleasant staff, the atmosphere has that 1950s and '60s eclectic shore coolness.Go there! If not today then go soon.“
“The Shore Spot is always on point. Whether it’s a Greek salad, Nashville Hot Chix Sandwich, or an entree you can’t go wrong. Frank genuinely cares about the food he puts out. If you haven’t tried the “place” at the little league field in Manasquan you are missing out.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Start-to-finish delicious. Dishes were all prepared with care. Added acoustic panels to help with the noise. Can't wait to go back.Edit: just had the covid curbside take out. It was fantastic. This place is awesomeEdit2: been a favorite restaurant for years now.“
“Dedicated Gluten-free restaurant, if you are Celiac or just have gluten intolerance you can eat here without worry of kitchen cross contamination. I LOVE the Turkey Burgers here, they come with a very nice Arugula salad on the side. Bun is toasted to perfection and the patty is cooked beatiful with a nice slight char on the outside but still juicy on the inside.My only wish is that Turkey Burgers be available for dinner as well. I usually order two at lunch and save the other in fridge for later. Reheats really nice in the oven at 325. I also LOVE the Brownie's, please never get rid of them! ?“
“Love the farm to table concept and ever changing menu. But...much aroma with not enough substance. Second time we've returned food to kitchen as it was cold. Pork chop is a venerable go to. Lamb shank lacked flavor. This place isn't bad it's just not up to where it could be. And that's a shame because we really want to go more.“
“I come here often. You will wait for a seat. You will wait for your food and it's worth it. Love the staff. The ladies the young men are marvelous. I drive far to come here. It's worth it. My coffee mug is never even halfway empty.“
“The food here is what it is a menu put together by someone who wants to sell drunk, but drinks are good. The atmosphere is loud but fun. It feels like it represents the city well. You are not going to get gourmet food but you will probably have a good time.“
“The food is always good quality and constant . Service is excellent, all staff is extremely pleasant. Burgers are great, Sushi looks excellent. (not a seafood eater). Wish there was a change in the chicken option which has been the same for quite some time. A good go to place!“
“We had a family party in the back room and it was great. The room was perfect, they have doors that can close it off to keep it private.The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was excellent with very generous servings. They want above and beyond for a very reasonable price. I will be using the place again for a private party or just to have dinner.“
“Had a great second visit to Sea Grass! As mentioned in other reviews this restaurant is BYOB, so we started with our wine (which they nicely brought an ice bucket for) and the oyster special. My boyfriend really appreciated how the oysters weren't overly salty and the pear glaze added a good flavor. Since we had such a large appetizer, we decided to split the halibut for our entree. We were pleasantly surprised when our waitress brought out two plates, pre-split for us. The halibut had a nice herb crust and was served over lobster risotto (and they definitely did not skimp on the lobster!!). Overall, lovely dining experience!“
“Triumph was a great location for our rehearsal dinner! We were able to rent out the space with two pool tables (which entertained the kids and adults for the whole evening) and a dart board. The drinks were served in the space so no one had to leave to go up to the bar and wait, and the food was amazing. The vibes were right in line with us and we are so thankful to all the staff for being so great!“
“We chose to have our rehearsal dinner here and it was the best decision! The wine room was perfect and they had it decorated for Valentine's day which was beautiful. All of our guests are still saying how delicious the food was! Corey was so easy to work with and made sure our night was perfect.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Apple Street Kitchen is a little, neighborhood gem. It’s slightly off the beaten track. After you discover it, I promise you’ll become a fan for life. They are known for using the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. They do try to refresh their menu every season. That way it stays current. Check them out if you’re looking for a cute breakfast or lunch place. They also have outdoor seating in their garden area in the warmer months.“
“I've had the food from here a couple of times and it's always been great! I especially like the beef ones. I like the guava/cheese and dulce de leche dessert ones too but they're VERY sweet, so if you're not big on sweets don't go for them. I hope they're able to relocate after the mall closes down, I feel bad because they lost their location in Long Branch and now a similar situation is forcing them out of Eatontown. Regardless, I wish them well, the food is delicious and the service is great.“
“Dinner was great and innovative and made Perfectly. Pear Salad very good. Vegetable pasta dish was wonderful. Unique and so creative. Ryan our waiter, checked on us often and so Polite. He knew the menu well. Habe been customer for many years and recommend it often. Great for lunch and dinner is excellent! Thank you!“
“It was great on a Wednesday night during off season. The bartender was attentive & personable. There was live music. I'd love to go back with someone who actually enjoys the atmosphere and not on an slightly awkward second date lol“
“Barnacle Bill’s is an absolute staple of the Rumson area and is a must visit. It’s a bar/tavern/grog shop that is somewhat trapped in time but in the absolute best way. It’s dark, loud and crowded but it just feels perfect. Burgers are charbroiled and the steak fries are great. Service is surprisingly good and the people watching is even better. I’m really happy places like this still exist.“
“This is one of our favorites, a jewel on the main drag in Manasquan. Pork roll, egg and cheese on brioche with a side of waffle fries.....c'mon, it doesn't get much better. And this is Jersey, so it's real pork roll and the Pig does it right. If you're looking for something a little more upscale, try the croque madame. It's the best grilled ham and cheese you've ever had, bathed in mornay sauce (known as fancy cheese sauce to the simpler, pork roll folk like me). But if you go that route you may want to share. And the coffee, brought to your table in a thermos, is great. Cool little place, great people and all part of the scene in downtown Manasquan - so you can walk off some of those calories after.“
“how great is it they the original owners of the Diet Gourmet have reopen in the same location in Elberon NJ. The menu is even better than before. They have all their old favorites and a whole bunch of new ones( pizza, flat breads, fish and chip, baked Eggplant) just to name a few.Also they redecorated the whole whole place from and new size to new floors, tables, bathroom repainted in light colors, rebuilt the whole kitchen with new equipment. And the original owner chef is back in the kitchen doing her thing. Healthy food at it's best, kosher dairy at it's best. GO Tomorrow.“
“Was passing through for work and swung by to grab a bite before heading home. Unassuming from the outside, but a nicely decorated inside. I sat at the bar and got solid, albeit a touch slow, service. Had to wait a while to order after I wasn't ready right away, and again for the check, but the bar tender was solo so definitely will extend some grab. I got the sweet potato and volcano rolls and they were both really good. Fresh, flavorful. Thought the price was good too for the quality. Overall a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to stop by again!“
“Nice size restaurant with a huge bar. Service was good and food was tasty. My only disappointment was warm fries. Hot fries are a must for me and most of the restaurants I've been to are the same. Guess I should get used to it or order a different side. I had a roast beef panninic with carmalized onions,, mushrooms, cheese and horseradish. Delicious! My daughter had a fried chicken taco bowl salad which she enjoyed but couldn't finish it. Good size salad. My son in law had the cheesesteak sub and he couldn't finish it either. Lol. Definitely recommend this restaurant!“
“This beautifully decorated space is a true gem. Cocktail menu is imaginative and the food wondrous! The menu is not overwhelming large but well curated featuring dishes which change seasonally. Our first visit was for a birthday and four of us were thrilled to be seated at the chef's table. Two of us dined last night and sat at the bar which offers a full menu. So between us we have tasted most appetizers and the halibut, pork, pasta, short rib entrees and cannot think of one thing we would change. It really should be noted that the staff there is among the most pleasant, kind and professional we have ever encountered. The bartender and servers are so informative and friendly and the chef is hands on and ensures the diners are having a very special experience! We are looking forward to our next visit!“
“Had my husband's surprise 30th birthday here (we've been several times before - it's one of our favorite spots!) and they were amazing from start to finish. Super easy to book, flexible with the menu, and our serve Kelly was on top of it the whole time. She made everything super easy and was so attentive to our decently sized group. Food was brought out promptly and everyone raved about how good it was. Will continue to come here for dinner and will definitely be on the top of our list for parties in the future!“
“I am so happy to have found such a great place to grab lunch at! They offer so many gluten free options and also understand allergies which is amazing! I work in the area and I was so hungry and wanted something easy. So I went in and got a Greek hummus wrap on GF wrap. It was amazing! I also learned they do catering and all gluten free as well. I can’t wait to go back! The wrap I had was super delicious and fresh. I can’t wait to try more food from here!Dietary restrictions: Gluten and vegan“
“I thought this place was way overpriced. I got the clam bake which I expected to be a whole mess of seafood for $60 but was 1 lobster and maybe 3 of each, clams, muscles, scallops and shrimp.The food was delicious and the service was good. The atmosphere is great with the water views. It was kind of cold where we dined though at this time of year. It gets a little loud with the bar and a band.“
“I ate here but didn't stay here. I don't know if they have lodging or if they had lodging ages ago. Nice pub with a menu better than what you would expect for a pub and tasty. No 5 star restaurant, but when looking for pub food with a TV in view regardless of where you are seated, this is the place.“
“I've been here many times, so I'm surprised I have never written a review. Last night, I had the ahi tuna tacos because I wasn't that hungry and they do not come with any sides. My friend had the filet mignon with cheese on an English muffin which was kind of a weird combination but she said it was okay. I forget the exact titles of what my other friends ate, but there are pictures here showing their food.“
“It's really good. The food is fresh. Everything's made in house. The service is okay. Besides my cup having lipstick on it, everything else was pretty on point. I'll definitely be returning because the food is just really well done in the service. It came out “
“Had a blast with Lunique and bingo while catching up with friends. My first time at Deal lake and Co. Food was delish- tacos, burger, salmon and the Nashville chicken sandwich. All were enjoyed by myself or my friends. Will definitely come back!“
“Rods is a great spot for casual coastal dining. The food is consistently tasty, and they offer a reasonable menu of gluten-free free options for those with diet restrictions that don't leave you stuck with a basic salad or plain chicken (something not many places offer). It may not have the most eclectic menu, but there is certainly something for everyone (even kids!).The atmosphere is great for a casual date night or dinner with your family. Stop by on the weekends during warm weather to enjoy the heated deck with a delicious beverage.Overall, it's our go-to for dinner with the inlaws or a night out when I can't convince myself to cook or clean dishes .. my husband never turns down a night at Rods, ladies. ?“
“We have frequented Woody's for years. However, this experience was not as great as usual. To start our waitress seemed not to like us for some reason. Her demeaner with us was stoic while jovial with other tables. Secondly, they made changes to the menu that I don't care for, like the guacamole on the blackened chicken tacos. Just add Baja sauce. Also, the salad lack today's salad expectations. For one, the dressings are thick and processed. They need to be fresh prepared in house. Also, bring back the old recipe for the drunken clams. It was the best around and we've tried many. It's all there at Woody's for a nice casual meal. It just needs to be rejuvenated.“
“It is a nice place to go with your family. The staff are attentive. Their pizzas are thin crust but they are very good. We had burgers, wings, calamari and fries and they were great. It is definitely a place I go to anytime I am around the area.“
“omg what a place..... I'm super picky when it comes to food.. I love love the menu food and what great Customer service. Owner michael was actually very nice and truly amazing NYC pizza down this way!!! go support local restaurants!!!!“
“Brunch: 5Dinner: 4Takeout: 3Me and my wife love 26 on the Navesink for brunch. Great food and atmosphere. Their home fries are insane. Great lobster rolls. And love the fried chicken and waffles . Can’t really go wrong with any brunch food.Dinner is good but does not impress as much as their brunch. And it’s hard for me to recommend them for takeout. Portions are sometimes small and disproportionate. We ordered a crispy goat cheese salad that was tiny and came with 1 really small medallion of goat cheese that was 2 bites.“
“Me and my boyfriend go every week on our day off! We love going for breakfast we normally get the #2 their food is amazing and the prices are great as well! Love talking to the staff they are very personable and the atmosphere is nice as well! Highly recommend!“
