I’ve been eating for for many years! I have seen the changes throughout the year and haven’t had a bad experience until today. Paid $8 for one slice of pork roll, one slice of cheese and one egg. The sanwich was all bread. And it’s not the price bc that’s the usual for a breakfast but just give decent portions. Disappointed
Never got my food after roughly an hour! Also got verbally accosted by the chef. Do not recommend :(
One important thing you should know about this place - there’s no POS system!! So when you order at the window (and it’s cash only) you get no receipt and no order number. After waiting 45 minutes at the window, I decided to leave. Especially since other people’s orders were coming out after placing theirs 20 minutes or more after mine. I can’t even dispute the charge because it’s cash only! Also the chef WILL yell at you if you have the nerve to ask him for an update on things.
When I reflect on my morning, I cannot help but think about the decrepit service I just experienced at the second ave grill in Bradley.
My morning started with a family beach day, until hunger struck and I found myself in search of food. I’m a particularly healthy person and was taken back by the absence of anything remotely healthy on this menu, and In desperation, asked the worker, “how good is the yogurt parfait?” To which she turned around, began searching the cabinets only to respond “I can make it for you”(what!?).
After being turned away for not having cash on my (as it was cash only) I figured I would go to the next spot on the boardwalk the hula grill, only to find it was closed.
As I returned to my family a defeated and broken man, I muscled up the courage to return to the second ave grill and sucker up for something greasy, and something sloppy knowing that my day could only get worse.
As I approached the window for the second time in under and hour, the girl from earlier sat in the window on the other side staring at me until another employee had to come over. Ordering a porkroll sandwhich, I had hopes, not high hopes but hopes nonetheless. As I waited the girl continued to stare me down until she had to deliver my food to the next window.
As I reached for my food, the worker grabbed it off of the counter questioning me on whether I had gotten egg or not (which I had not). She then opened my food to inspect. Deeming me worthy she forked over my sandwich to which I’m now referring to is the Jersey shore monstrosity.
A 12$ bun with one slice of porkroll and unmelted American cheese (one slice!? One slice!? One slice!?).
It took every fiber of my being to not say something as I walked away in shame, carrying the monstrosity back to my family.
I want to note that I’ve been going to Bradley beach since I was 2 years old and have had many good experiences at this grill in the past, but this time was undeniably unforgettable and inexcusable.

A little pricey, but when you are one of only a couple of locations right on the boardwalk, there isn't much choice. That being said, the food isn't terrible, and the prices could be a lot worse. Stick to the chicken tenders or burger. Hot dogs and sausage sandwiches will leave you feeling cheated. Staff is in no hurry, but friendly enough.

The portions are huge, the staff very friendly and the ambience is great!
Located directly on the beach with great seating options!
I will definitely be back!

The burger is delicious. The first time we went, we got a burger to share because we weren't that hungry, and immediately regretted it because it was so good, we wanted more of it. So the second time, we got 2 burgers because we didn't want to share again. Quality food and fair prices.

The food was amazing but the service not so great. It felt like the server didn't want to work, she gave me and attitude. My soda was hot because they gave to me at the beginning and the food took so long.

Best onion rings ever! Friendly and quick service. Great to support a small eatery that does such a great job! Next time will get a burger, they look delicious.
