“Awesome place! Best dive in NJ“

“We had gone to Woodys for years and recently started visiting more frequently. Really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is good. The holiday decor is a whole vibe—the owners and staff really went all out to provide a warm, inviting experience for their customers. We are always greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. I always enjoy the time spent at Woodys, whether with friends or family. The seating options are many as the heated outdoor area is available all year long. Good food+great service+awesome ambiance=a fantastic experience.“

“Amazing. We had our daughter’s sweet 16 last weekend at this venue and can not recommend this place enough! From the planning down to the nights end, the owner and his staff were incredibly attentive and bent over backwards to please! The food was excellent and plentiful, the venue was kept clean, the staff were on top of any soiled dishes and cups on the tables, and the outside area is gorgeous at night with the lights and waterfalls. There were small touches I wasn’t even aware of until the evening of our event. The mocktail bar for the kids had a menu where our daughter’s name was included in the names of all the drinks, flavors of the ice cream were more than the chocolate and vanilla other venues offer, the coffee was amazing, and the staff even helped clean our decorations at the end of the party. Everything I just mentioned and likely much more I’m forgetting at the moment all less expensive than most other venues we considered. Thank you again to Ravi and his staff for an incredible experience!“

“Go here a bit for the happy hours. Drink and food specials are fine. Service is good. Would be nice to have a $10 salad on the menu and the choice of fries vs. potato chips with the mini burgers.“

“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!!!!!!“

“Food, atmosphere, and service was great! We plan to be back!“

“I traveled over an hour to get to Seared and let me tell you, I was very impressed. My experience at Seared was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived until I left, I felt welcomed and pampered by the food and the service. I highly recommend it! I also have to mention the waiter Julieta was so amazing, she provided excellent service, was so patient with explaining the menu and always very courteous. We definitely will be back!“

“the blackened shrimp wrap was amazing as well as the ghost ship burger.... loved the atmosphere.. felt like a local hangout.. laid back.. lots of space Inside and out. service was great.. .“

“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!“

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

“Great food, great service fun atmosphere! Ava was our server and did a great job !!!we will be back!“

“we've been going to 709 for many years, and go there quite often . service is always good, but the food has been hit or miss for the past year. they closed down and reevaluated their menu and staff. the new staff is excellent, as was the old. we have decided to continue to support 709 during their transition. Saturday's dinner was just not prepared to my liking. my fillet was medium well, when i asked for medium rare. the server was excellent, and tried everything to accomodate my requests. no fault of her own. but, the chefs should pay better attention to what they are cooking. the sushi chefs also need to check the freshness of the fish they are serving. the usually "red" tuna was gray. we tried a piece each, and decided not to eat it, and it was then off our bill. 709 was "the" place to grab a great meal.... look at my other reviews. not too sure anymore.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“Had lunch today at Houlihans. I haven't been here in a while, so I wanted to treat myself by eating at my favorite restaurant.
And my 3 favorite servers now work in the morning: Mackenzie, Brooke & Jenna.
I had the early bird dinner special: chicken parmesan with a salad and dessert for $17.99. it's a good deal because they chicken parmesan by itself is regularly $17.99.

My server Mackenzie was great: polite, attentive, and fast. As are all of the servers here.

It was sad seeing one of the hosts, Justin leaving. This is his last day. He's going back to college. He and hostess Paige are both great. No matter how busy they never lose their cool. That's important bec

The food always great.

Parking: Parking is free and always available, even on busy weekends.“

“We just had an 80th birthday party for my dad there last night. The service & food were fantastic! We had a party of 18 & everyone loved their food. If you’re looking for a great evening out, I highly recommend this place!“

“Awesome terrific food no doubt 100pct. People like Soria are the best in the business..but but but Jesus Mary&Joseph omg when u call there and whoever might pickup the phone all you hear is an enormous background noise like I'm in Las Vegas. That must stop. Not at all professional not in the least. Move the woman who answers the phone to a separate non loud room. Not close to acceptable. I couldn't hear myself placing my order“

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

“Reds Lobster Pot was fantastic in every aspect. Despite being a busy Sunday evening we were seated prior to our reservation, given exceptional service, and served fantastic food. Our server, Jeanna, was incredibly attentive, witty, and fun despite being very busy. Chris is also another surprise, giving suggestions and just making the entire experience feel personal. I also want to give credit to every member of the staff who took plates, filled water, and performed other tasks that are often overlooked. Everyone was fast and pleasant, going far beyond the normal service provided at most restaurants. The food was amazing, served at the perfect pace, and abundant in portions. The view (as you will see) was the final touch. Can't wait to come back again, this is one of the best beach dining experiences in New Jersey and can't be missed.“

“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 😀👍🏼“
