“Be ready for country music when you get there.The business is veteran is owned and proudly displays its affinity for the military, law enforcement and first responders. Put the business name into Google maps and it will take you right to the place, even though you seem to be driving into warehouse heaven. Plenty of places to sit, just not at the counter.“

“One of the better Chinese restaurants in town. Their hot n spicy dishes are actually hot and spicy. Rice is great not soy heavy. All the food is very fresh and always correct. Great staff too. Definitely recommend if you're looking for Chinese.“

Lots of menu options.Kid-friendliness: Claw machine, coloring pages, kids menu, older kids were allowed to play darts as we were there well prior to the night life scene began.“

“From the moment my amazing girlfriend and I walked into this quaint cafe, we fell in love with the vibes, decor, smells and more so, the people. They were so accommodating. They walked us through it all and ended up with the best breakfast. We're from Chicago and this place hit the spot! Cheers, Lava Java House ☕️“

“The food is exceptional and consistent! It’s nice to have local business like this thrive. The owners are awesome people that collaborate with other businesses in the area; bringing everyone up with them, that’s the way small business should be. Try a lettuce wrapper classic burger with old bay fries; you won’t be dissapointed.“

“this was my first time here with my mother and it won't be our last! we had such a great brunch date for her birthday and our waiter was outstanding and hilarious! we loved being there in our jammies! thank you for the laughs and the delicious foods.“

“I stopped by here last week with my wife for some evening drinks. We were staying nearby and looking for a brewery whenever we came across Oyster Creek Brewing. The brewery itself is located in a strip mall and the inside was interesting. They had 16 beers on tap this day and the tables were interestingly decorated with circles talking about plume zones and ingestion zones. After guessing it had something to do with nuclear power, we looked it up and figured out that there used to be a nuclear power plant here. After that it made more sense as did some of their beer names.As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight. At oyster creek brewing a flight consists of 4 beers and so I chose the critical mass NEIPA, Sky Shine black tea and honey ale, half life cranberry hefe, and the 3-eyed fish. For my first beer I tried the Critical mass NEIPA which was a little bit sweet before the hops kick in at the finish. Second was the Sky shine black tea and honey ale which was also sweet at the start before the black tea comes in and then sweet at the finish. Third was the Half-life cranberry hefe which was smooth at the start and you could definitely taste the cranberry before a finish of sweetness. Last but certainly not least was the 3-eyed fish which started off with that tart lime flavor before moving into the dryness of a gose and finishing with, I'll be damned, the taste of Swedish fish. Out of the bunch I liked the critical mass the most but it's that 3-eyed fish which I will still be thinking about.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While most of my beers were sweet, I did enjoy the IPA and the three eyed fish is definitely a conversation starter.“

“Found a new shore breakfast place. Huge menu. Great innovative choices! Great pricing. Light, roomy and bright atmosphere. Large servings and raisin toast as a toast choice.Chicken and waffles, lots of avocado toast selections, smoothies, crab-cake eggs Benedict and Brownstone-style milkshakes at half the price.Order your potatoes and hash well-done though,Try it. I shared their menu.“

“I ordered a custom ice cream for a special occasion. Cake was made exactly to my request, everything from the different layers, ice cream flavors, & toppings. Everyone enjoyed the cake and asked, "Where is the ice cream cake from?" If you have a peanut butter lover in your life, I highly recommend this peanut butter themed ice cream cake. Aside from this custom order, we are regular customers. The ice cream sundaes are our favorite. You always get good portions (scoops) served. The medium is almost too much for me. That's a good thing. Chocolate Chip Mint, Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream, and topped with M & Ms is my favorite.“

“Considering how many people have said nothing but good things about this cafe, I’m happy to join the club! Haven’t personally come in yet but we ordered through door dash and the food was phenomenal ? Got a: Cappuccino, Iced Shelly Special, Pork Roll Breakfast Sandwich, and the Grilled Cheese. Not to mention, they have a variety of different options and even poke bowls! So delicious and the coffee is smooth and not bitter tasting like other cafes make (coming from someone who always masks coffee with tons of sugar lol). Will definitely be coming in to try more of their menu items, and if you’re down in the area, don’t pass up on eating here ☕️?Dietary restrictions: Have a lot of dairy free options for the coffees which I love!“

“Nice spot in downtown Toms River. Really nice staff, extensive menu with good variety, and in our four visits, have not had one dish we didn't enjoy. Quickly becoming our go to spot to stop in for a nice meal or get take out.Parking: Depending on time of visit, local street parking can be somewhat difficult“

“Meet up with munzee group on a rainy Saturday! First time here and would definitely go back! I'm not a beer drinker but staff recomended Premium Light Lager which I loved so had 2! Fun atmosphere and clean bathrooms! Kind staff! If you're in the area try! You won't be sorry!“

“A wonderful spot in Downtown TR with a large assortment of craft brews surrounded by good food locations. The seasonal beers and seltzers along with the occasional collaboration offer a ton of variety for whatever you're in the mood to try. Great vibe with live music as well.“

“Took a ride to Viking Village expecting to see a bunch of shops, get something to eat something to drink, but the food vendors were closed and it was a beautiful day. Some of the shops were closed also. surprised with the Labor Day weekend upon us. the shops that were open were cordial and inviting, very interesting merchandise to sort through.“

“my friends and i spent an unreasonable amount of time here trying to procure the grandpa joe card from their coin pusher machine. it was worth it. we also conquered "deal or no deal," among other various other games because we are arcade pros (we did not cheat!!! we are genuinely just that good). their mini golf did cause insanity though. quesadilla and ice cream were buss. 10/10 would visit again“

“Tons of flavors to choose from! The staff was super friendly and even told us the top 3 flavors. Extremely colorful and bright within the store. I wish there was a table or two inside the store. There are a lot of tables outside though. I love that they offer a wide variety of toppings. It was so good that we went back for seconds the next day! My friend purchased two kinds of fudge. It didn't taste as fresh and rich as she would have liked.“

“This place is charming and delicious. It's a little expensive but ALL of the ingredients are very fresh. I'd rather pay the money for good healthy food. Ashley was the one who suggested avocado toady with fresh organic tomatoes and an egg. She also gave me some arugula. I ordered the green drink. "This will make you feel good,"she said. She was 100% correct. All of the other breakfast places around are those unhealthy bagel places. This was a wonderful find.“

“Table 13 with JanineLadies and Gentlemen,This is still a service industry. We couldn't have been reminded of this more until we had dinner tonight. We love Shady Rest for the food(any chicken or fried scallops should always be considered) but for the most part, the dining experience has usually been random, at best. Tonight, we had the pleasure of being seated in Janine's section, and we've never had a finer experience at Shady Rest. Janine was The Best! Everything came out correctly and we never waited for a refill. We will be back soon on a Saturday night to sit in Janine's section.“

“My husband and I had dinner here for the first time in the summer of 2023 on a weeknight inside. We decided to give it a try due to the recommendation of our neighbors. I had the Lobster Grilled Cheese sandwich and Lobster Bisque Soup in a bread bowl upon recommendation of our neighbors again. Both items did not disappoint. Both items were super filling and tasty! If you order the soup in a bread bowl, be prepared to share. It becomes like an appetizer with all the soft bread in the bowl. Absolutely delicious. As for the atmosphere, we chose to sit inside. Watching the ocean and the boats at sunset gave it a perfect summerlike feel. We will be back based on our last experience this past summer.“

“I ordered a custom icecream for a special occasion. Cake was made exactly to my request, everything from the different layers, icecream flavors, & toppings.

“love megs. it's a smallish comfortable and very cozy. I'm local so I can take advantage of megs in the off season . it still attracts a crowd but not too bad. the food is excellent. I love their pancakes, or omelets. my,kids have had other food here and love it. I've also had lunch here and love their chicken salad. Recommend it highly.“

“Great dive bar with excellent bartenders. While it doesn't look like much compared to the other bars in town, it does deliver with its old style feel and more than standard drinks. You will never be disappointed or feel ripped off when ordering a drink from this place (cheap and made right).“

“It's my first time coming to EJ's Tap house for a surprise bday get together for my boyfriend's Uncle Mimmy's 60th Birthday Party. My first impression was meeting Uncle Mimmy, he's so polite, nice & funny as hell, he's a nice person to be around. As a matter of fact, I met Amanda George's cousin, who is also so so nice, & Maryellen George's Auntie, she's also so sweet. Everyone in George's family is so so nice, polite and friendly; & also welcoming too. Anyways, when you go into EJ's Tap House, it's a nice bar area with a nice seating area to drink beers, or alcoholic beverages, non alcoholic beverages too & also play pool too. It also had a board to write what ever you want on it also which is pretty cool. Overall EJ's Tap House is a cool place for a gathering!! Go check out EJ's Tap House & #GetYaDrinksOn“

“Stopped here on the way back from LBI on a very sunny and hot Wednesday afternoon. There was a long line, staff very friendly, quick, and professional. The ice was fresh and many flavors were available. I highly recommend this place and will be back when in the area. They have a gate entrance to the lake in the back which was an added plus to the location.“

“Food was good, Service was friendly and efficient. We went during resteraunt week so it was busier than usual for this time of year but all was very good. Food tasted good but was not something that stood out beyond other local places. Oh and the bread pudding was an absolutedelight!!!“

“Stopped by here for breakfast. We ordered ahead to stay so our food was already ready when we arrived. The avocado toast was alright, a little too mushy and falling apart. Nothing notable. The pancakes were very good...exactly what you would want. Lastly, the breakfast sandwich was impeccable! It was so so delicious; we opted for bacon on it but honestly I think any breakfast meat they offer would have been just as good. The coffee was just okay. I didn't finish mine if that tells you anything. I got an iced almond milk latte and it was far too sweet and milky. The service was quick and nice. Although there were a lot of bugs in the area which wasn't really there fault but was making it noticeably hard to work for the few customers that were.“
