Every time we visit LBI, we bring home some banana nut bread coffee to brew when we get back.”

“The classic Jersey Shore diner experience. Been going here since I was a kid and now I’m bringing my wife and kids. Everybody loved their food and the cool lobster design in the kids pancakes were a big hit. Always great, friendly service here, fun old school diner ambience, and really solid Jersey diner food.”

“Always great food and cold beers!”

“Went there last night for dinner. Had the pickled vegetable, the romaine salad and the clam pizza. This was more than enough for 2 people. Everything was good and it’s nice to have another year round option in Barnegat Light”

“My daughter and her husband had their wedding reception at the Daymark on 10/27/2018. There was a nor’easter the night before into Saturday morning. There was flooding everywhere! Management and staff did an incredible job rearranging the room since we had to change the wedding ceremony to inside, instead of at the Lighthouse. The food and staff made it a memorable night. Everything was perfect! Thank you to all of the Daymark staff!”

“This was a popular place, lots of people waiting but we were seated in a timely manner considering. The restaurant has a lot more tables than it appears from the outside. Everything was delicious, from the Caesar Salad to the entrees of Duck and Steak to Chocolate and Orange Cake. I don't live in a area but highly recommend this place, it would be worth the trip.”

“I celebrated my birthday with my sisters at The Gables last night. It is clear that this restaurant knows that a dining experience is more than just about the great food. The ambiance and charm of the restaurant with its meticulous attention to detail translates to understated elegance. Their staff—my experience felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant and they had nothing else to do but take care of us! Our server, Cathy, was so warm and unshakable on a rather busy evening. The room managers strolled throughout the room making sure that every person was seen and noticed. It’s the nicest place I’ve ever dined. Thank you for a truly lovely evening!”

“We have been going to Black Eyed Susan's since their prior location across the street when it was BYOB and I can't believe it's actually gotten better in terms of menu and the cocktail menu is amazing too. With the addition of Marigold this summer they've reached the next level. We hope to rent it out next year for a private event. Could not recommend it enough if you're on Long Beach Island (or even if you have to drive the bridge)”

“Had the #6, blue cheese burger and fries for Fathers day dinner delivered. Wow!!! Double meat patties cooked perfectly, heap if crispy fried onions, 2 thick fresh tomato slices, fresh chopped lettuce and a heap if blue cheese. The fries are addicting, I had to stop myself from eating them so I could take a bite of my burger, lol. Other places would charge $15.00 or more for a burger this big but it was only $10.00 and bogo, which my wife unfortunately did not take advantage of, I most likely would have have had it for breakfast the next day. Burger n fries 10/10, delivery 7/10, it was starting to get cold, the restaurant is 10 minutes from my house.”

“I had went there this morning to get a to go order without calling to physically see the menu for myself. First thing I noticed when I walked in was it was super clean! I sat down at the counter to be greeted to a friendly woman named Jovanna! I ordered a water while my breakfast was cooking. It didn't take long at all. The greek omelet I ordered for myself was really good. Everything was fresh and the egg was cooked perfectly. My s/o was happy with his ham and cheese omelet as well. Will definitely be back to explore the menu!”
