“We have been eyeing this place for a while, so good we ordered lunch but the portions are so large you can eat the rest for dinner, enough for two meals ? the pork was ever so tender, the wings were big and sauce was full of flavor. Great place to go!!“
“So this morning I stumbled upon this place while walking around Arnold's Marina waiting for a friend and let me say I was blown away!! I have never in my life been to such a cute little diner. It's super clean and tidy. The staff are professional and in uniform. The food and service were like a dream! I mean I felt like I had been plucked from reality and placed in a perfect diner in some fairy tale! ? I can go on and on. But that was my initial feeling about Castaways. I can't wait to get back for lunch with my wife!! Thank you Castaways!!“
“Ordered from here last night for dinner. We got the combo platter for 2 that came with chicken, ribs, garlic shrimp and plantains. OMG everything was delicious - especially the garlic shrimp. Next time, we are ordering the garlic shrimp with that amazing rice and the plantains (which were amazing!!). Highly recommend!!“
“Such good food! I ordered a platter with a whole chicken, rice, fries, and a side of beans. When I got there to pick it up, he gave me the total and I gasped at how affordable it was. Asked for an extra container of rice, it was like $3 more! Such a good price, and you get so much food. Food was amazing, so authentic in flavor. If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Service was great also.“
“Very popular eatery. You may have a wait period during dinner hours. I eat at the bar when dining alone or with one other.Parking: Huge parking lot. Drop off at door. Then park your car.Kid-friendliness: No problem.Wheelchair accessibility: Drop off at door. Then park.“
“Great ribs, good brisket. Excellent sides - baked beans, fries...wish they asked what kind of brisket as we got all lean on our meals, places tend to give 50-50 fat-lean if we don't tell them. Strategically located near two ice cream places ?Vegetarian options: Very nice fresh salads,“
“First time customer for lunch yesterday. Our waitress Francesca was AMAZING so friendly so helpful and just all around great service provider!! The food was delicious! Thankfully they were not busy so we had plenty of time to learn how everything worked and completely enjoy the experience. The food was amazing (except for the "lobster" balls def do not recommend) Will definitely be returning next for dinner since the available choices look even better than lunch!! Hope to have Francesca as our waitress again as she was definitely a major part of the experience we had!! GIVE THAT GIRL A RAISE!!!“
“We were driving around in the rain and ended up in this plaza. It was either senza or the bbq place and I'm with a bunch of meat lovers so we chose smokies The place looks very homey and the smell of the grill is just very welcoming. I started my meal by ordering the Pork Belly Burnt Ends and they were very delicious, coated with bbq sauce and a mayonnaise based dip. The flavors compliment each very well and having a very delicious combination. For my meal I ordered the Classic Smasher and there's a choice between 1-3 patties that you can choose. I was very impressed with how fast the food came and that it's an open kitchen so you get to see the cook make your burgers. My friends got the Mac Stack and Cheese and the Brisket Mac and Cheese bowl and they were both satisfied with their order. I already plan on bringing my other friends here to try this really cool spot that we found. If you are a meat lover then I suggest you to try Smokies BBQ!“
“Stopped in on a rainy day and it was a pleasant experience. I ordered the rib feast bc for two bucks more why not get the extra! It was beyond great, ribs were hot and fell off the bone. I usually get the Memphis dry rub but today got the sauce and fond my new favorite. I'm picky on bbq sauce and theirs was soooo good, not Smokey or mesquite but flavorful! The meat was plentiful and burnt on some parts yet still moist. The tatter tots were crisp. The Mac and cheese is wet which was nice. The corn bread also tasty! No complaints here, they even gave extra sauce for him! Also had the pickle spears, nice and fresh! My date had the pulled park sandwich was good. I'm not a pulled pork person but the meat was good and bread fresh. Will be back sooner than later! And the waitress was so sweet and welcoming and checked in on us at all the right times! I also learned today you can sit inside as I used to always order pick up.“
“If you keep it simple here you'll be fine. Picnic table seating and a decent burger make the Chop Shop a very smart low-key choice when in the always sketchy Seaside Heights vicinity. Remember to go to the Chop Shop serving food instead of the numerous shops in the area dismantling your 2022 Camry. A very solid burger. Four, very solid stars.“
