New American Restaurants near Spring Lake, NJ

“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.“

“Had a absolutely wonderful experience at the SeaCrest Grille, the food was delicious to say the least, friendly & quick service & always with a smile. The Hideaway Lounge is the perfect spot for that pre-dinner drink, great atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for an evening out.. Cheers“

“Our server made us feel like he had something better to do. He told us the specials and then went away. When the food arrived the potatoes were not hot and the salmon was not well done as my husband had requested. He never filled my wine glass or my husband s Perrier. At this price I expect more“

“Delicious meal from start to finish! Don’t skip dessert ?“

“Delicious food Great service“

“I've been living down by the Shore for over a decade and had the best breakfast of my Life here!!! Today I had Dave's Homemade Corned Beef Hash with all the bells and whistles: poached eggs, asparagus, Swiss, hollandaise...Absolutely delicious! Everything my wife and I tried was amazing: the biscuits with cinnamon honey butter, the coffee cake and the pancakes. Highly recommend The Buttered Biscuit. Service was also amazing.“

“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!“

“Perfect way to spend my Birthday dinner Year after year! Always perfect service and food/drinks.“

“The best! Great food and service. They are always taking extra steps to make sure we are satisfied“

“Great Lobster and soup was delicious. I highly recommend“

“Amazing food with a hearty selection and very friendly service. It has a cozy inside with a hometown diner feel. It is not a large space and I wouldn’t go with a party larger than 6 if you want to sit together. I only wish I had gone here sooner after moving to the area. Highly recommend to anyone!Vegetarian options: Plenary of options to ask for dishes to have no meat included in themParking: Plenary of open spots on both sides of the restaurant“

“Excellent food n drinks, awesome service!“

“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!“

“Wonderful food. Love going here. The place is a little loud but it's heartwarming and cozy. Staff is awesome. Doug the owner is dedicated and friendly. We always have fun. They are open Sundays and Mondays when other restaurants are closed.“

“I've lived in Point Pleasant my whole life and nowhere else has ever been as good to me as Klotz's. Every single meal here-- breakfast or lunch, has been so good. Nowhere else has the local lunch counter feel like Klotz's does. And in case you've heard about their famous Myth, yes, it is THAT good. I also adore the patty melt. It's cash only and that's fine by me for how wonderful eating there is!“

“Excellent food! Great Service and atmosphere!“

“Very good dinner last night. Here are my bullet points:- I don’t understand why they have Farm To Table in their name. There is no mention of any locally sourced ingredients on the menu or in the waitress’ presentation. Seems like a marketing thing. Just interesting.- Apps were delish and huge portions. We had the Brussels and Shrimp & Chorizo. TBH, the two of us were pretty full after apps and bread!- For dinner, we had the brick chicken and the scallops. I rarely order chicken at a restaurant, but this was very unique and tasty (and again, big portion). Scallops were perfectly cooked and succulent.- We were too full to have coffee or dessert- Service was good. Although they seemed a bit understaffed, as our waitress seemed to be constantly rushing around.- Prices were a bit higher than expected. But not a deal-breaker. Overall good value ??Catherine’s is definitely a solid addition to the Southern Monmouth / Northern Ocean County dining scene. Check it out!“

“Wonderful meal at Half Moon Point-the food was delicious and served very promptly. The servers were terrific, considering it was a busy Saturday night! As others have said, parking is tricky, and the noise level is well beyond my comfort zone. I would recommend though, and will try it at a potentially quieter time.“

“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.“

“This restaurant was delicious!!! Everything was wonderful from the waiters to the food that was amazing. The owner Ken went around to all tables and made us feel like family. thank You Saltimbocca I will absolutely be back.“

“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.“

“My sister from Dallas & I ate there 3 times out of 6 nights- fabulous food!“

“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.“

“They have lots of Vegan options , everything was delicious, the service was quick and friendly , and the place was immaculate.“

“The queen of Jersey Shore yacht clubs. Relaxed yet elegant, formal yet friendly, BHYC offers the best tennis/pickle courts, cuisine, and dockage around. Spectacular views of Barnegat Bay from the upper deck makes it a special place to enjoy cocktails especially at sunset. Remember it's private so you need an invitation from a member. If you receive one, don't pass it up!“

“My friends and I came here for brunch a few weekends ago and it was a great experience. We went to brunch on the earlier side and thankfully, we didn't have to wait at all for a table. Our waiter was wonderful and helped to walk us through the menu. We ordered a number of things off the menu; the tres leche donut which was delicious, the grilled cheese & tomato bisque, the dressed greens salad, the brunch pie and the salmon lox toast. Everything that we had was very good and filling! The added bonus was that there was a live jazz band playing in the main room of the restaurant and was so lovely to listen to. I'd absolutely come back here again!“

“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.“

“I would call Origins a hidden gem. What a great surprise the first time we ate there. I had a lobster risotto on special and there was no shortage of lobster that's for sure. It's only the owner and his wife and it is a very small restaurant with maybe 10 tables. Amazing all around so but I recommend that you call first to make a reservation for the weekends. Unit if they don't pick up just leave a message to get back to you for sure.“

“We love it there! So happy they moved to a larger location. Love the food and love the vibe.“

“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“

“My family has been coming here for years but it’s been quite some time since I stopped in. One of the best seafoods spots at the jersey shore. Awesome views watching the boats come in and out, really great food, and friendly, attentive service. A classic spot to relax with a beer and some good seafood.“

“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!“

“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 “

“I've been here many times and I've never been disapointed.Kid-friendliness: They are welcoming to kids with crayons and activity placemats and the staff is friendly and patient. It can be pretty loud but thats expected in a popular bar and resturaunt.“

“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!“

“Rod’s Tavern , has become one of our favorite restaurants, great menu, love eating at the beautiful bar, with friendly service ❤️ Barb & Tony Wilcenski“

“We ordered fish and chips. Absolutely delicious. Fish perfectly cooked and chips were thin and seasoned well. Our server, MacKensie, was very good and as a bonus, our favorite server, Brooke, came over just to say hello. Brooke always finds us if she isn't our server and greets us like family.“

“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!!!!“

“Great food and big portions for a very fair price. I had the jerk chicken platter with rice & beans and plantains and it was filled with flavor and very filling. The worker at the front was very kind and gave a good recommendation. Will be going back.“

“I like it here. Went earlier on a Friday night for a drink with some friends. There was a good band that started before we were leaving. Lively, crowded, casual atmosphere. It's a bit cramped around the bar where we sat. The walls are close to it. We liked it anyway. Bathrooms clean. Bar food available. Nice bartenders. A fun place to go! A varied crowd of 20 somethings to 60 somethings. Casual friendly patrons and employees.“

“Here w/my gf for 1 week from PA, and have been there twice. The Presto Pesto Chicken Panini and Stay Gold Chicken Salad sandwich were outstanding. So was their coffee, tea, and staff. Erica made us feel @home. Highly recommended."Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold."“

“The restaurant put a reserved sign on our table, but somebody else sat there. The host apologized and found us a different table in a short amount of time. Our server was friendly and checked back with us throughout the night. I left off 1 star because we were 6 people, and 2 meals came out first and it was a long time before the other meals came out. Overall a great experience. This is one of our favorite restaurants and we have brought many people here who also request we go back“
