“This place has it all ! Great service even from the minute you walk in you feel welcome there. Apple Crack Cocktail is wildly tasty ! Bourbon Slushy excellent except for the brain freeze. Chicken HandPie was quite unique. Flaky light and tasty. The French Dip Sandwich was done perfectly bread had the perfect crust yet still soft inside. Steak cooked perfectly. Now the GUMBO !!!!! Just insane with flavor and depth. Robust, rich full of flavor. Every bite was a different taste whether it was the crab,shrimp, sausage or crayfish . All around an excellent place. So glad we came out tonight ! Thank you !“

“I had a great experience at The Squire at Branches in West Long Branch. My food was absolutely delicious and came out quickly, exactly when I expected it, which made the whole visit even better. The service was outstanding, and both managers, Stacy and Faye, were amazing—friendly, attentive, and clearly dedicated to making sure guests are happy. Everything from the atmosphere to the quality of the food made this a place I’ll definitely be coming back to and recommending to others.“

“The pizza is awesome, the food is great, owners and staff are all very nice, all in a cool spot!“

“I had my daughter's baby shower here last week. I CANNOT say enough how accommodating and nice the staff were to work with. The food - Chef's 💋 !!! Our Server Janine and Tracey the Bartender went above and beyond. I truly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed!!!!!!“

“Mix is a decent place to meet up with friends for the evening. It's closer to a bar/ lounge than a for food. The drinks are good and they do have decent bites to eat. It's kept nice and clean inside with good service. The interior has an updated and sort of hip feel to it. It's a good place for a fun night out with friends.“

“They are amazing with their staff and the owners care about their employees,👏👏👏best beer selections in town.“

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

“Had a delightful experience at Brielle House Bar & Grill. Very impressed with the menu and execution of all the dishes that we ordered. We were lucky to score an oversized booth, which was cozy. Nice pour on the wine. The place is spotless, elevated, but not at all stuffy. Staff made us feel so welcome. I am truly confused about the motive of a prior review I read on here. It cannot be the same place that we just enjoyed so much.“

“Visiting from out of town and stopped by based on other reviews. This place did not disappoint! Great food and drinks. Bartenders and staff were very friendly. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Went there for the first time tonight for my wife and son's birthday. The food and drinks were excellent and the service was great. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back!“

“Great atmosphere for sure. 3 different bars to choose from. Stopped by for a quick bite after a long day of travel because it was walking distance, but the food was just okay. The effort is definitely not there food wise, but it's my first trip to the Shore, so I can't really compare it to any other food spots. At $20 bucks a head for food, it's too expensive for what you get.“

“I eat a LOT

This spot has everything! GREAT FOOD, SERVICE & DRINKS

Somehow even kid friendly enough for my 2 kids under 2

Incredible time

Super reasonable prices“

“Boyle's is an enduring neighborhood bar that has been in business for decades. It's unassuming and sits in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood. Don't let that deter you from visiting. The drinks are very good and the staff is consistently friendly and accommodating.“

“First time here and I wish it wasn’t love loved this place everything was beyond perfect and delicious food drinks (wish I took pictures but when something looks and smells that good u don’t think of pictures)service definitely coming back.“

“A great restaurant that does have similarities to River Rock“

“Great spot! Great happy hour! Great wait staff! Kid friendly!“

“you dads famous pizza💖 not to mention ur dads award winning personify 🥰🧡“

“The food and service were excellent. Don’t skip the grilled wings—they’re the best we’ve ever had! I had the blackened chicken Caesar wrap, and it was seasoned perfectly. Everything was fresh and super tasty. We regret not coming here sooner!“

“We split the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and the kitchen sink fries, and it was ok. I guess it would be good bar food, but the fries weren't seasoned, so it was good with the sauce they put on, but when we got fries with the sandwich, the plain fries were unseasoned. We didnt really think this should be under "dive bar" so yea. Refers to food as nips and idk if it was the chicken tenders or just some other item used“

“Great atmosphere, wait on the weekend is over an hour but you can sit in their colorful Adirondack chairs and order drinks and apps while your waiting.“

“We were there last night. Chris the bartender was great and so was Johnny, the cook! The place looks great and we will definitely be back!“

“Great place to come and have a great bloody Mary and other drinks“

“The food that I ordered was amazing but idk about the pizza. My tuna wrap however was delicious like in the photo. Good place to eat if you are picky as it has SO many food options. Staff were OK but didnt really put all their effort into helping.“

“Amazing food, view and atmosphere! Darrel and his team are top notch. Highly recommend lunch, dinner or happy hour at this spot!“

“The AP Rooftop is hands-down one of the best dining experiences in New Jersey. Let’s start with the AP Burger it’s the star of the show. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor, it just might be the most delicious burger you’ll find anywhere in NJ. Every appetizer we tried was absolutely incredible—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and downright delicious. You honestly can’t go wrong with any choice on the menu. Cocktails are solid and on par with what you’d expect from most shore spots—well made, refreshing, and a great complement to the meal. But it’s the food and service that truly shine here. Attentive staff, a welcoming vibe, and top-tier flavors make this rooftop spot a must-visit. Highly recommend. We’ll be back again and again.“

“Food was excellent and great service“

“Me and my family where there on labor day weekend a young man name Pat, I think he was the manager he was very welcoming and friendly the service was great and food was also very good. I wanted to say Pat customer service was perfect and thank you for the being helpful and friendly with my family and me.“

“Went to the Boardwalk Boggie party at Low Dive on Sunday. Absolutely had the best time time I’ve ever had n Asbury Park . The crowd was really fun everyone was there to have a good time . Super super fun and the cocktails were well made . Run don’t walk to Low Dive . If you are fortunate enough to be around on a Sunday night do not miss Boardwalk Boogie it’s a real good time !“

“First time to the restaurant last night and we loved everything! Had pork dumplings, spaghetti with clams and the crab cakes. Great service too! We will be back 😀👍🏼“

“I'm giving you five stars because that's what you deserve and frankly what you've earned. The staff is great, Meg is great, Dylan is great and there is another bartender with an unusual name, I think starts with an I and I apologize...my memory is just shifty anymore, you told me your name at least twice already, and I'm sorry....she's great also. This place is an oasis if you're waiting for a bus.

I just have one problem. I'm not some dumb kid. I know how bars can be. But there were these drunk, aggresive Hispanic guys, screaming and howling and being rude and aggressive. Can't the bartender ask 'em to leave? People who can't control their behavior, especially when they drink, don't belong with people who just want to get lunch and relax before the bus comes.“

“good place and good music and food“

“My first time here. Loved it. The food was delicious! Felt like I immediately was in a neighborhood restaurant. And the prices weren’t over the top. Very reasonable.“

“Literally the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had in my life, and trust me I’ve had a lot of them! My husband got the chicken cutlet sandwich and it was also phenomenal. Wish we lived closer because this would be a weekly spot for us!“

“Perfect way to spend my Birthday dinner Year after year! Always perfect service and food/drinks.“

“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.“

“My cousin and I had the BEST lobster tail dinner…. I think I’ve ever had. The lobster tails were absolutely delicious. And our server was amazing. I believe her name was Kaitlyn.“
