The food was the talk of the party!! People couldn't stop going back for more and asking where it came from. Will definitely be back again and again!”

“I have been going to Ada’s for probably close to a decade if not longer. I am familiar with Ethiopian cuisine and she truly delivers every time. While I can’t speak to the other cuisines I have learned over time that her heart is in every dish. The doro wot is top! (Well it all is). The AP location is lovely. I can’t wait to go back, and that is coming from a Californian.”

“Great beer and variety. Nice location. Family friendly.”

“Laid back, excellent service. Amazing cocktails...Jalisco is burning--try it. And creative, delicious food.”

“One of the top dining experiences of my life! My boyfriend and I we the only ones there for a 7pm seating (Tuesday after Thanksgiving) so we got a complete one-on-one meal with chef Carmen and head chef Sean. It was so interesting learning about where each fish came from, each piece's preparation, and so much more! I'm glad I got such an intimate experience the first time, and look forward to going again with a group to get the full omakase, dinner-party-esque kind of atmosphere. Check Hadaka out— go in with an open mind (and mouth!) and trust the chefs— you will not be disappointed! *~*Mouth Heaven*~*”

“Food here was solid. Everything we had was good. Cocktails were decent, but a bit too sweet IMO, but if that's your jam, that's good. Maybe it's true Bourbon St vibes. I probably would go somewhere else rather than return here, but it's not bad.”

“The swings were so fun to sit in, music was great and Ian was an awesome server, so friendly. Loved the comedy soundtrack in the restroom. Will be back for sure. Ziggy bowl was crazy good. 🥰”

“Everything was wonderful---the service, food, the ambience. Highly recommend you check out Homesick for a great experience.”

“The dinner menu is the best. You can’t pick a dish that isn’t delicious.”

“Great food and service. I got the veggie burrito and it was so flavorful. prices are reasonable and the portions are huge definitely a must go.”

“Excellent service by Don. We were fortunate to be seated in front corner window which gave us privacy. Every dish ordered was excellent, including dessert. The back room includes a brick oven. Worth the 5 stars I posted!”

Vegetarian options: All parties found the choice that met with approval and perfection”

“Chill vibe - nice decor - food ok”

“I went to the Robinson Ale House on June 29, 2024. Service was excellent. The waitress was wonderful. My husband and I had lunch. I had a T-bone steak special , he had meatloaf. They were excellent. We had key lime pie for dessert. Really good too. We were seated outside on the side because we needed shade. Planning another trip in August. I can’t wait to try the Drunken Clams this time if it’s still on their menu. I hope I get the same waitress. If they still have the T-bone on their daily special I recommend you get that. I had mine medium rare. Quite pricey but well worth it. The rest of the menu is moderately priced. Good generous sized portions. Definitely recommend. 5 stars”

“I’ll always recommend the oxtails w/ rice and cabbage. My next go to was the jerk chicken, but then I tried the stew chicken. There is so much more I want to try. Love this restaurant. Paula is phenomenal at what she does.💕 Rose, keep up all you do, the world needs people like you.❤️. It’s a 10 for me.”

“Such a wonderful place. We happened upon this cozy shop on a day trip to Asbury, and returned with a bag of their wonderful coffee, which is roasted on premises!! Beautiful shop with local art for sale, but the best part is the great coffee and the owner who is so sweet and personable. We will definitely be back, if it was closer I'd be a regular.”

“We loved our ice cream sandwiches! Everything was delicious, portions big and prices fair”

“I had the pleasure to have catering services from Rosa's Kitchen for my retirement/60th birthday back in June 2023. We always want to share our Puertorican cuisine to our guests when we have special events at home. We had "arroz con gandules, pollo guisado, ensalada de papa" among other selections. Our guests were so impressed and satisfied with the texture and the flavor of our Puertorican cuisine thanks to your service. We definitely recommend Rosa's Kitchen for catering services. Muchas gracias.”

“Great restaurant, amazing sushi. Specialty rolls are better than any other restaurant in Asbury or the surrounding areas.”

“Such great staff and delicious pretzels!”

“I received a gift card during the holidays for this coffee shop in Asbury. My first time in there, I didn’t know what to get and explained to the gentleman behind the counter, Matt , that I like nutty, sweet and caramel latte type of drinks. He suggested their pistachio shortbread latte, and it was amazing. I definitely would not have thought to try that without his recommendation. This was a great place, and I’ll definitely be returning!”

“Totally recommend ,the best tacos in town”

“Excellent service. Was lucky enough to get there right when a Fresh pie was coming out. Can I tell you it was the best slice I've had in years. Cheesesteak is amazing as well!. Overall great visit will absolutely be back next time we come through town.”

“We traveled 2 1/2 hours for a beach day and ended it with a Playa Bowl in Asbury which is a summer tradition. But we almost missed out! Location was closed by 6:00 pm on 9/21/24! We were in disbelief! We got there at 6:10pm. We begged and pleaded and “Jimmy” made it happen!!! World class service with a smile!!! What an amazing person you are “Jimmy”! Thanks for ending our summer with such class!!!!! There should be more people like you in this world!!! Safe Travels!!!!”

“This is my absolute favorite place in Asbury. The shaved ice texture and flavors are delicious as well as the ice pops. I usually bring a cooler and take some home as well. The flavors are so fruity and fresh, I always stop by when I’m in the area. Great fair prices too.”

“So hard To find whole belly Clams in NJ. They were unbelievable! Everything else equally delicious can’t wait to come back! Staff was friendly and again, amazing and reasonably priced.”

“Consistently ok Chinese. I've tested them on several items since I moved here recently and it's consistently ok, which is good enough for quick and very local takeout. There is no atmosphere to speak of, and walking in the store is extraordinarily uncomfortable sometimes with the amount of dodgy people who stand in front of the place but I've never had a problem so far and the woman who works there has been very nice.”

“Una ocasión llegué a ese restaurante hambriento y cansado, le pregunté ala cocinera q me recomedaba, Ella me preguntó de q parte de México era, le contesté "Oaxaca"..entonces ella dijo barbacoa de pollo. Realmente fue delicioso.. el aroma a ojas de aguacate todavía lo recuerdo. tortillas a mano y frijoles fritos. realmente una de mis mejores recuerdos en una mesa”

“Stayed during family vacation season so place was very busy. We booked 2 rooms next to each other, and each was clean and well prepared. Front desk was helpful, and breakfast staff was efficient and restocked constantly despite the heavy traffic.”

“Very good my morning stop on Saturday and Sunday before hitting the beach. Good place to get your morning fix of coffee , bagels and donuts my must stop early in the ”

“I specifically go a little bit out of my way to avoid the other two Dunkin locations on route 35 because this location knows how to brew their coffee. This Dunkin has the original iced coffee Dunkin flavor that I miss from so many other locations. Also they’ve never gotten my order wrong and it’s always ready When placed through the app.”

“Love this place but they keep taking food and drink away before I’m finished. Annoying.”

“ABSOLUTELY SOME OF THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN ASBURY PARK!!!”

“We visited the juice Basin on a trip to Asbury Park. The smoothies were amazing, service was friendly and helpful. It was a hot day and a long walk to get there. Was able to stay as long as we wanted too, to cool down. Very Much appreciated!!! It was a long walk from the beach, but was worth the trip.”

“Muy Buena comida! Buen Sabor y Sazón. Recomiendo 100%”

“Very delicious traditional food with very affordable price I highly recommend this Latin restaurant, if you are looking for Latin food this the place plus they are really nice people ?”

“Great ownership and staff. Quality food including vegan options and I love what they stand for. Definitely a group of people and company with supporting! It is tremendous to see a small business that puts their money where thier mouth is in giving back to their community. Everytime I am there they seem to be giving out meals in front of their store and genuinely enjoy doing it. Will definitely be back.”

“One of the last good places to get a tasty sub that's not going to break the bank.

Parking: It's downtown AP, parking in th city is never a sure thing.”

“This little hole in the wall has got to be a one of the greatest coffee places I discovered. The customer service was great and the coffee amazing. I can’t wait to try some of the whole beans that I purchased. Support local and support Asbury Roastery. Thank you so much for peeking up my morning and can’t wait to try the cheesecake balls.”

“Wonderful place with great and different food combinations in their omelets, eggs, and sandwiches. Didn’t get to taste the pancakes, that looked amazing ! Love this place 😍”

“Ordered shrimp lo mein for an early dinner. They give you generous portions. My order only cost $11. I have enough for lunch the next day. This is a small place with seating for only 6-8 people. The food is really good. They have a fried chicken and bananas special for the local clientele. I will need to try that the next time I stop by.”

“A must try! Everything is good 😋”

“Walk up ice cream shop. So much to choose from. And vegan ice cream. I chose raspberry chip in a kids cup. Vegan, Very good. We’ve been here a few time. You must go. My friend had a monster mint. I think it’s called. Mint ice cream with huge chips.

Vegetarian options: Vegan options”

“The beach deli has the best Philly cheesesteaks I've had anywhere in Philadelphia or New Jersey, the owner is cool as hell, and this Bodega has that amazing tasting food that you just can't get on main Street. It's like the bodega culture with the amazing tasting food that I haven't had since I live downtown in Manhattan on 1st avenue. It's a must try, the best is the Philly cheesesteaks and peppers onions cheese and BAAAM TASTE & they're buffalo chicken sandwich as well both to die for! ?? ?!!!Hit New Jersey shore? This place is sick! Must try!!”

“I just had the best Cheeseburger that ever had at the Bond Street Bar and Grill that is tucked away and almost hidden on 208 Bond Street in Asbury Park, NJ. The It is a small bar and grill with a dark almost mystical ambiance on a small one-way street. The bar has a warm and welcoming personality featuring great food, good vibes, friendly staff all in an inviting space of a classic pub atmosphere.”

“If you are looking to have a small wedding or event I highly recommend. I just got married on Saturday with a headcount of 58 people and I was absolutely blown away with how much "bang for your buck" you get at this venue with an absolutely breath-taking view of the ocean. In addition to all this, the food was insane and our guests were absolutely raving about how good it was. Liz Gloss and her team do an amazing job making you feel special, taken care of, and truly waited on my husband and I hand and foot. The entire staff that day was incredible and it really added to it being so special.”

I love coming down the shore in Sept & Oct. we stayed at the Asbury Ocean Club and walked across the street to this adorable diner. They serve great food & drinks.
