“Great menu and open kitchen concept. The menu has some really eclectic items and I had breakfast and the regular Eggs Benedict. But there was so much great lunch stuff that I ended up getting a quart of Guinness Stew and a quart of chili to go, both were excellent! I dropped almost 100.00 on breakfast and to go items ?Vegetarian options: There are definitely vegetarian items all over the menu.Kid-friendliness: I saw children in there and items on the menu.“

“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.“
“Beautiful outdoor dining. We went at around 7 so it was perfect timing and weather for sunset during dinner. For drinks I got an espresso martini with baileys and it was great! Missing my 3 espresso beans for good luck but it's okay! lol. Appetizers I think we got boom boom shrimp it was good but it had like a plantain/banana taste to it. For entrees I split with my friend and we did the Lobster Fra Diavolo which was a special and a bee sting pie. Holy moly both were so good!!! Our server was so nice I wish I remembered his name. We got a little sauce on our shirt and he brought us wipes and club soda. I definitely recommend EvenTide if you're in the area!!“
“Ordering online for takeout is a little confusing because there aren't really any descriptions of what you're getting. I'll make it easier for you: try the chicken aloha bowl. Grilled chicken, pineapple, peppers, tangy sauce, and rich coconut rice. If you're into sweet/salty/zesty island flavors, this one is a slam dunk.“
“I just had my daughters bridal shower here. It was an amazing day. Very nice atmosphere, delicious food and super friendly, attentive staff. They went above and beyond to make her day special. What a great experience from beginning to end!“
“Easter Brunch was great! Side note... fire alarm went off, and we had to temporarily evacuate the establishment; which was not a big deal. What was appalling were the number of patrons who got into their cars and left. I'm sure there were quite a few who skipped out on paying their tabs.“
“This was my first visit. Everyone was welcoming, helpful, and genuinely happy to be there. Everyone is welcome to come and dine. Great community support. Great chefs and incredible menus. The food and experience was fantastic. Would definately dine again.“
“Wow, the food was fantastic, prepared to perfection with quality fresh ingredients, the Poblano Molé was amazing, as was the lime cake for dessert, Michael who was taking care of us for dinner was attentive, personable and welcoming. Best in “
“Impressive night . The dinner and drinks were great … don’t forget to try the Dancing Shrimp ! Our party of four never felt rushed . Management visited us a few times to make sure everything was fine . I want to give a special thanks to our server Marielle for making it such a great night and giving us excellent service !“
“Once again we had a great dining experience. We were sat in the back corner which was really nice because it felt like a private room. We were celebrating a birthday and we were able to talk and enjoy for 2 hours and never felt rushed. The apps and entrees were great. Such a nice variety. Of course the owner came over to talk to us even though it was really busy. This is always our first choice to go out because we have never been disappointed. Thank u again Nicole and staff!“
“Service was amazing I forgot her name I wish I didn't but it was like she was made for hospitality she and my lady was engaging in a great conversation and she made sure we had everything that we needed. Even though I got a basic cheese steak and an order of buffalo wings The Cheesesteak was made with real steak cut in the blocks not the cheap stuff. I will be returning just really for her service if she's there and the food as well LOL I wish I knew her name she deserve a raise!“
“We have been to Fresh a number of times, they consistently have excellent food and the staff is great. The atmosphere is relaxed, maybe a little loud, but that is because everyone is having a great time. I know we always have a great time there, we will continue going.“
“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.“
“My first visit to Porcini was a wonderful experience, we went for a 3-course prix fixe Valentine's menu and loved every dish. We are already planning a return visit to work through the regular menu. Wonderful service and everything was delicious!“
“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“
“Fun, casual place with a water view. Near the Seastreak dock in the Highlands. The food is great, with a full bar and knowledgeable, friendly staff. Outdoor bar and seating in summer. Upstairs but there is an elevator. Can be a little noisy but hey, people are enjoying themselves!! (BTW, the New England clam chowder is the real deal!!)Wheelchair accessibility: An elevator is available.“
“Goal line wings... Enough said! Oversized chicken wings, marinated in Frank's Red Hot sauce overnight then dredged in the tastiest batter and deep fried to perfection!!! Pizza, steak bites, wraps, sandwiches... everything is great! They have an awesome Sunday brunch as well with an amazing French Mimosa!!! They offer a weekly specials menu, are open late and do takeout as well! Everything is delicious! This is a downtown Long Branch staple and a great place to watch the game!!! But beware, it's far from fancy and gets pretty loud on any given game day!“
“I have loved this place since the original in Little Silver when they were lunch and a small dinner venue. They had the best homemade soup. Now that they have expanded and our primarily breakfast and lunch the are still amazing. And I've been to multiple....Toms River, Long Branch, Sea Girt, Cherry Hill, etc. Consistent no matter which one you go to. And the coffee is amazing too. I love my French presses!“
“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 went here today and my server rosa was immaculate. she was so nice and gave us a lot of time to order. it was a big group of us, all young so we took a while and she was very patient. 10/10 i would come here again. Ask for rosa she's the nicest !!“
“WOW!!!!!!! What a culinary delight for the mind body and soul!! From start to finish was impeccable. Warm greeting with beautiful surrounding made this meal 5 stars. With the open air kitchen, you become 1 with the chef's working to prepare very different and scrumptious meal you won't forget! “
“Great place for breakfast and/or lunch. The diner is small, with a long counter and two person tables and a few booths. The food is delicious and the servers friendly and attentive.Normally I only order homemade hash, but Gloria (our server) exclaimed that theirs was really good (even out of the can) and she was right. It was perfectly made and tasty, with crunchy well done edges.It was crowded when we arrived (noon), but plenty of seating after 1pm.The diner is not wheelchair accessible, but there is an outdoor space that may be accessible in the warm months (outdoor space was closed today). There are steps leading up the front door, and the inside is pretty tight, as far as maneuverability.Few parking places out front, but plenty of street parking on a quiet street.Will definitely return!!“
“We’ve been coming to Seafarer since it first opened, when it was Highlands best kept secret. We’re happy for their success! Cocktails are great, the food truck is convenient, and this is one of our favorite spots for Dock N Dine. Always plenty of boat parking! 10/10. Great vibes.“
“Perfect relaxing breakfast with the family. Seated right away on a Wednesday morning. Friendly wait staff and great service. Ordered The big easy benedict and huevos rancheros, a French press, German chocolate latte and 3 different hot chocolates (for the kiddos). Everything was delicious and fresh. The price is very good if not better than most common diners in this area. The food and coffee is 1000% better too. This is our favorite breakfast place when we visit NJ. Definitely recommend.“
“Food is good quality and not your average fare. I like the pulled pork and the turkey sandwich as well as the shoestring fries. All are seasoned well. A bit pricey for the size of the "little" hero but who doesn't over charge today? Only probelm is they seem to have has a gnat problem over the summer. Not great to try to eat while shooing away bugs.“

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 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.“
“Delicious food and great service. Tuna was cooked perfectly and paired well with the salad served with it. Hot, crusty bread - always delicious. Brussels Caesar is enough to share and so good. Burrata with mushrooms was great and the new baked pasta with the mushrooms was just perfect!“
“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.

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.

“We have been coming here forever. I can't believe the food keeps getting better. Just awesome. Such interesting pairings that work so well together. The Fois Gras special tonight was out of this world. The pastas, the mussels, are just amazing.“
“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!“
“We hosted a celebration of life for both my parents here as part of their catering package. The staff was beyond helpful and the space worked so wonderful for the event. The food was joyous and people are still talking about their penne vodka.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Came here with a party of 6 everyone loved their entrees. Such a lovely restaurant with delicious fresh seafood!! Awesome menu choices and great apps. Great pricing, service was very friendly and BYO next door. If you haven’t tried this restaurant you’re missing out! 10/10 would recommend. Can’t wait to be “
“Ok, so it starts with the fun name and go!!! We had Shwarma Wings ... WOW! Triple fried and crispy! And their Bloody Marys are made from a home-made mix and are EXCELLENT! The bartenders are super friendly and engaging. We loved it and can't wait to go back!“
“We met friends for dinner last week. We enjoy not only having a meal, but, having an experience. We certainly had that at Elli's backyard! The service was wonderful. The food was delicious. And, we highly recommend the Smore tray for dessert! Fun for all.....“
“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!“
“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.“
“The whole wheat pancakes and bacon were delicious and super filling not to mention the service was excellent! Our server made sure our coffee and tea didn't go empty and was so nice, definitely recommend stopping here if you're in the “
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“We've been members for 3 years and have made so many wonderful lifetime memories entertaining friends and family on the water in NJ and out of state. The boats are always pristine and ready to go. I love the recent updates made to the restrooms/shower/deck, but the genuine warmth and professionalism from Patrick and his entire staff are what truly make Carefree special.“
“They renovated this restaurant. It’s much better and brighter. Has a lot of options.I would like them to bring a little more attention to the vegetarians. Options like fake sausage, fake meat and ext.but otherwise nice place to have lunch or breakfast.“
“The atmosphere here is always fun, great music and a great vibe! Our server was terrific, friendly and attentive! As always the food was delicious! We ordered blackened Mahi mahi sandwich and the grilled chicken sandwich both fresh and delicious! We love it here! It's our go to place!Parking: If we can't find parking on the side lot we usually go across the street and pay.“
