“For a very long time, I’m talking decades I wanted to come here and finally today I did for lunch. Very nice bar atmosphere inside with lots of tables on the outer walls for privacy.I have three videos here, but I had a combo wrap of corn, beef and pastrami. I asked for a half-and-half and it was delicious. Served hot with fries perfectly done by tentative server named Donna.This is one of those go to places, my wife had been here several times a few years ago and was extremely happy with the food and I see why. My friend had surf and turf scallops on top of steak bites pieces which look perfectly cooked to me he asked for medium. It is actually an appetizer, but it’s a sizable enough meal for most people.I can’t find faults and I love when I can’t find faults.A warning getting into the miracle pub is pretty tough from Route 37 eastbound there’s really only one way in from that direction and it’s in a small strip mall That you need to carefully navigate because it’s narrow to get to the miracle pub parking area. Tops drive 5 mph in this narrow parking lot that runs parallel with route 37 you have to slow way down for it.The best way is to take the jug handle off of 37 that goes to Lakehurst Road, which is right in front of the miracle pub and the circle wraps around miracle pub and you come from behind the building where there is some odd angle parking, I would not want to come out at midnight, fearing another faced customer smack into my car. Find a safe place back there where your car is protected from other cars just a suggestion, but especially at night it’s wacky parking lot that is almost U-shaped but small.it’s a pub atmosphere with music you could hear yourself sing at the table. It was comfortably loud.What was nice a manager or owner I don’t know, came over just to say hello not bother us one bit just to see if everything was OK and he came back to do the same. It’s touches like that. It really make you go back to somewhere and I will be back back. Nice size menu so Check out their website.I also have the men’s room here on video, that was sadly heavy uterine smell, as small as it is I still think they could keep us better smelling bathroom, but it was clean. I didn’t see any stains anywhere which is a thumbs up but they need better ventilation or some good deodorants. . It is very tiny as a galley style men’s room. Did not see a lock on the door, but it did have a partition where no one could actually see you at the urinal just FYI.I love giving great reviews. It’s just not often enough, but this one here is a great review.If you like my reviews, I hope that you thumbs me up or whatever you do here lol. Thanks.“
“I live around the corner and I am certainly grateful. The best part of Aqua Blu is the staff. Kane the bartender is a sweet angel. Speaking of angels - Mike & Juan who are servers, the absolute best. Saturday night DJ always a fun time. Have to mention Alexa too - she's awesome! Love this place, can't go wrong. Even have our family celebrations here.“
“Red sangria is delicious and the Baja bowl was yummy. Love the fresh air dining and the peaceful view. Buy 1 get 1 free burgers is a good deal. Margarita pizza and coconut shrimp is great. Fun place. Especially when they have the fire pit going.“
“The food was delicious. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. Our server was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed, making it the perfect spot for a laid-back meal with friends or family.“
“My choice was the turkey club sandwich.My husband had the California Burger. The food was really delicious. The man bartender was also the waiter. He was very pleasant. French fries were hot and we would go back. It was a quiet dinner (Tuesday).“
“Our food was great tonight but our waiter, Matthew, was incredibly rude. We had a larger party, 4 adults and 4 kids. Once we had our food, he never returned to the table and when he did he tried to rush us out and box up our food before half of us began eating.“
“We are Staying @ Howard Johnson's and decided to try Christopher's pub . The customer service was Amazing . I found out the Bartenders name is Angel . She is such a Sweetheart. Her customers @ the bar was just as Awesome . I wish I still drank because the atmosphere was Rocking !!! 70's Rock playing . I ordered 2 cheeseburgers to go which were delicious. We could of shared 1 burger .I can't thank Angel enough . I came back a second time and ordered 2 cheeseburgers again to go but the exhaust wasn't working . So we had Cheesesteaks ,fries & onion rings . It was banging . Angel even went out of her way to carry my food to the elevator. Thank you so much . I can see why her customers love her .... Thanks Angel you are the Bestest ... Jenn“
“Food and server were EXCELLENT! Hostess on Saturday night was incredibly rude and condescending. Also not a good look for her to be chomping her gum while she's talking. As the first person I met and as nasty as she was to my guests and I we almost left. The food is as good as it was pre-Covid now so we will be back!“
“Last night was my first time coming here and I’ll definitely be back. We were a party of 9 for girls night and ended up in a beautiful secluded room. We didn’t feel rushed at all and the service and food were both excellent! I highly recommend if you have a larger party like we did. Can’t wait to come back with my husband!“
“Our pizza adventures continue and we found ourselves at the Anchor Inn a few nights ago. The place was full of families and friends enjoying a varied menu. We came for pizza but ended up ordering an appetizer and salad. Everything was very good! Service was fast and attentive. There’s an accessible entrance. Street parking was easy, but there’s also a parking lot. The place is probably a madhouse in the summer, but we had no trouble getting a table.“
“Loved my experience at Red Fox. Nice to have this spot right off the beach at Island Beach State Park. Very popular so it does get crowded, but for good reason. Nice to have draft specials in the middle of the day. And a raw bar w great clams.“
“This is an absolute wow restaurant. There is nothing on the menu that's generic and everything has a personal touch to it. I got to meet the owners and they were the most down to earth friendly people. The clams were an excellent appetizer, followed by one of the best medium-rare prime ribs I've ever had. They absolutely nailed it. The rest of my party enjoyed the seafood they ordered. The dry scallops had by others were raved about and the service was top notch. This is a high end seafood restaurant with all the charm of a seaside inn. I absolutely can't wait to go back.“
“So- we’re going to go to Stone Fire, but they were closed so we decided to try this.Well this was a huge win!Great little pub atmosphere. Dave the bartender was our server, which was great service.I had the Jambalaya & my fiancé had a cheeseburger, and the food was terrific!Will definitely be back!!!!!“
“On the price:value axis, this place has it going ON.The carbonara I got wasn't a true carbonara, more an Alfredo with bacon, but honestly I like my pasta saucy so no complaints here!It was delicious. Portions fabulous. For the $20 I paid, I got 2 meals of pasta.My waitress was busy AF but on point. She always glanced at me as she passed and knew what I needed and just kept the flow going. Wish I knew her name. Thank you ?Busy, vibrant, fun spot. The kind of place you walk in a stranger and walk out with a new bar buddy.“
“Have been coming here for 20+ years since I was a kid. I swear it keeps getting better. Years ago sometimes you'd have a bad day, a rough server, food that was good but not great. That's never the case the last several years everything about this place has gotten better. I get something different every time and today's was my favorite cocktail and favorite meal.“
“Table 13 with JanineLadies and Gentlemen,This is still a service industry. We couldn't have been reminded of this more until we had dinner tonight. We love Shady Rest for the food(any chicken or fried scallops should always be considered) but for the most part, the dining experience has usually been random, at best. Tonight, we had the pleasure of being seated in Janine's section, and we've never had a finer experience at Shady Rest. Janine was The Best! Everything came out correctly and we never waited for a refill. We will be back soon on a Saturday night to sit in Janine's section.“
“My wife and I recently moved into the Brick area, and I pass the restaurant weekly. In doing some research<, I saw that they have a very interesting menu and several specials on Monday nights. My daughter and granddaughter were here visiting with us, so we gave it a try. Service, food, server and music were great. Will definitely be back.“
“This restaurant has an old fashioned pub atmosphere. I got seared scallops special on their specials menu. Scallops cooked perfectly served with light avocado grapefruit and pickled onions. Their burgers are supposedly really good as well. Their butter was infused with something sweet, so of course, was delicious. And their wedge salad was one of the best I've ever had. It had a light blue cheese dressing with tons of extra blue cheese and a lot of bacon and tomatoes. Absolutely delicious.“

“Our favorite place to go and have a good meal or snack and drinks. Everyone there is always nice..Parking: If it's crowded, that's the only time you would have an issue parking.Kid-friendliness: Every time we have been there, there are families there. Kids from infant and up..Wheelchair accessibility: In the dining area, you can have a wheelchair.“
“Great dive bar with excellent bartenders. While it doesn't look like much compared to the other bars in town, it does deliver with its old style feel and more than standard drinks. You will never be disappointed or feel ripped off when ordering a drink from this place (cheap and made right).“
“The wait is about half an hour when we went last weekend. Customer service is excellent! I’ve never seen a humongous pizza before and I was in awe when our order of half buffalo and half veggie was served. One slice is too big but the crust is thin, so it evens out. It was delicious! The ambience is so relaxing. It was definitely worth a try and we’ll be back.“
“We stopped here by chance, best place by far we stopped in at! Food was amazing, service was outstanding! The dark hair girl that started us off when we got there was on top of things, when she had to close out the guy with tattooed arms covered us just as well. They were on top of the orders and quick to make sure drinks weren’t empty and smiling and extremely pleasant the whole time. We were on the balcony and had a fantastic time and even saw the fireworks there. Spent many more hours than expected, and would definitely do it again! Can’t recommend this place enough!“
“Nice place for Mexican food. Nice large bar. Not really a traditional Mexican restaurant. Free chips are good at first but eventually have a weird metallic aftertaste, in my personal opinion. I was told it gets crowded on the weekends, but I can't confirm this. Not a bad place. Give it a try.“
