“Five Stars😋 great food and cozy interior”

“First time customer here and let me say the NJ Instagram influencers got it right again. This little shop is amazing and I could see why it has been around for almost 100 years.

The staff here is welcoming and helpful and I got to sample some macaroons before purchasing. The coconut macaroons are 🔥. Some of the best I have ever had. It cost $22 a pound and you can mix and match. It cost $1 extra if you want it in a tub if you don't want a box. Definitely recommend getting the chocolate covered macaroons 😋. I also bought a bag of the huge chocolate chip cookies and those were also amazing.

They sell other items besides cookies, macaroons and macarons. They sell cupcakes, cakes, donuts, etc. This shop is clean and there is plenty of parking in the area.

This place is worth checking out, after spending a day at the beach or just passing through the area. I will definitely be back again in the future.”

“Ate here with my family after a day at the beach. We were a loud hungry bunch and the pizza did not disappoint. The pizza was hot and very fresh and the sauce was delicious. It was not greasy and the crust was just the right amount of crunchy. We will definitely be back!! Highly recommend!!!”

“5 stars!! We had dinner at promenade tonight and it was excellent!! EVERYTHING was excellent! ALL our meals were amazing! Watermelon salad was fresh and so good!!! ALL our dinners…Chicken Amelia, Ravioli & t”

“I searched for a restaurant in Asbury that offered vegan, gluten free options and came across Reyla’s. I’m so happy I found this gem! I truly appreciate the thought that went in to create these dishes. Most restaurants don’t put much thought into offerings for people with dietary restrictions. There was something for everyone in our party. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted with an amazing flavor profile and presentation. We all loved each dish including dessert. Jules was our delightful server who was attentive, professional and great at her job.”

“Living in Point Pleasant means having an endless lineup of incredible coastal spots right in our backyard, but Red’s Lobster Pot is the one place I will never stop raving about.
It completely captures that old-school, local fishing village charm. Sitting on the deck right along the Manasquan Inlet while the boats come in sets a scene that you just can’t replicate. It’s laid-back, welcoming, and feels like quintessential Point Pleasant.
The food level here is unmatched. You can taste the absolute freshness in every dish—it’s pure dock-to-table quality. Whether you’re diving into a steamed lobster or whatever special they’ve pulled in that day (my personal go-to order), the kitchen lets the quality of the seafood shine without overcomplicating things.
What truly sets Red’s apart, though, is the team. The service is consistently sharp, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. In a town packed with great dining, Red's is the one spot that simply gets it right every single time.”

“During our short stay in the area, we chose to dine here as it was one of the few restaurants open on a Monday. We had an excellent meal, with starter and main course which were delicious. The staff were friendly, helpful and very caring towards my elderly mother. Thank you in particular to Adam for his help with organising the taxi for us .”

“Great dinner as response service class act! Loved appetizers and filet and shrimp special excellent”

“My wife and I had a wonderful lunch at Prime 13. The steaks were cooked perfectly and a very nice size for a lunch entree. Looking forward to going back for dinner. The tomahawk steaks looked absolutely delicious. After lunch we walked across the street to their butcher shop and purchased an incredible double cut pork chop. Just cooked that on my grill and it was fantastic!”

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

“Such a great experience! Loved the delicious food choices and the service and presentation was top notch!! I highly recommend it!!”

“Ate here (Wall)on Feb 15, got the Hornets Nest, awesome! Corn bread and honey butter awesome! Getting the banana pudding to go. Will definitely come back. Girl at the front was friendly and helpful, all I could ask for. That's important to me because at Dave's hot chicken they act like the customer is annoying. Screw Dave's, this is My new place!”

“What a great time! I'm not sure why some reviews say ride staff. I didn't see that at all. Tables are a little toght but not that bad. Service was exceptional and they have a TON of gluten free food. Save room for dessert. Only thing is go early or you'll be waiting even though you have reservations and BYOB. Can't wait to go back!”

“The food was great, the atmosphere was excellent. Next time I'm back east, I'll be eating here again.”

“Came into town for a wedding and stopped in foe lunch. Great service and food! Jack recommended the chicken kebab and it was spot on: tender, juicy, and well seasoned. Coupled with the fluffy rice and sautee vegetables, it was a great dish. The ground lamb pide was delish topped with the fresh parsley, red onion and tomato. Would absolutely return for another meal.”

“Very friendly staff very good food priced right”

“Wonderful, friendly owners! Coffee is delicious and the greek baked goods/desserts are fantastic! Bonus... you can hone your greek language skills 🩵”

“Was lucky to snag a chef's counter reservation on Friday. The service and food was amazing. We had the latke and pork chop paired with a really lovely wine. We loved the Harry's bar so much that we returned the next night for cocktails and snacks.”

“I can’t thank the staff at B2 bistro point pleasant for making my daughters wedding shower absolutely perfect. The service attention to detail food and bar service was exceptional! Samantha the coordinator was amazing!!!”

“We were searching for delicious Indian cuisine and we found it at Tandoor India Restaurant. The chicken biryani was delicious delicious and large portion filled with plenty of protein. The samosas or large and hot and very tasty. I had the chicken korma delicious and savory. As you know we had to take a doggy bag because we were unable to finish our meal. The atmosphere was very friendly and another couple who was seated next to our table would not stop talking about how delicious the food was.
Thank you for making our Asbury Park experience a memorable one.”

“I was there last night for the first time. The atmosphere was very relaxing and spotlessly clean. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent and very nice size portions. I will be putting this on my go to restaurant list.”

“The food and service was amazing!! Went there for Valentine’s Day and had a great experience! Definitely will be back!”

“Frequent customer, but always blown away with the freshness of their summer menu. The shrimply the best tacos, which was originally on a tostada last summer, was just as amazing, but didn’t sit as heavy as a tostada. Love the move to a light tortilla. The Mexi-Avo toast was so filling and the flavors melted together so nicely. Don’t forget the decor inside is so cozy, boho/havana vibe and perfect for a date or girl’s brunch. 10/10”

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Kristin was amazing!”
