“Today after a day at the Beach we went here for an Early dinner. The food we had was AMAZING; Delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The service to our table was awesome where we received everything we wanted. The atmosphere was great too. I’d recommend them to EVERYONE!!!“

“I was visiting family from NYC, and decided to get some dinner. Wasn't sure what to expect...but was very pleasantly surprised. Quick, tasty and everything I wanted. General tso was better than any I've had from other places around here. My go to from now on.“

“I’ve been coming to JT’s bagels since they opened and it’s literally the only place where I’ll get a bagel from! Consistency is key. I moved away 5 years ago and I’m officially back in Jersey for good and they’re still as perfect as I remember them! I would literally crave them. My 3 year old was born in Hawaii, a little local boy. He had his first ever, Jersey bagel from JTs and LOVED it! Needless to say, this is the best place to get your bagels from!“

“We are at the Applebee's in Lacey , NJ, frequently. We often have Kaleysha as our waitress and she is wonderful. Always sweet, checks on us often to make sure we are good and is quick with bringing stuff out to us. The food and atmosphere is always great and we have noticed the prices have stayed pretty much the same.“

“Cannot rave about Giardino Sul Mare enough! Excellent service all around from the staff members. If you want delicious Italian food in the area, 100% check them out!“

“I would give them 3 out of 5 stars. since the day they opened, inconsistent with food and drinks. one day the sliders are medium, the next well done. one day your $16 martini is full, the next it's missing the top inch of the drink. one day the pizza is ok, the next time is soup. last time the service was just ok. tonight she was great.“

“The cheesesteaks were delicious, but I wished I noticed the disgusting fan that was above the ordering counter before I ate there. The fan is full of so much thick dust that I felt sick after eating there. Makes you wonder if the kitchen is really clean.“

“The best service and food.“

“thanks to the polite waitress and manager that took care of us last night... have a few too many Doms. They are the best and really hot the spot if you're looking to get a buzz... After our night of getting smashed we got cut off, and manager even gave us a ride to the hotel across the street. so thanks again for taking the time to truly care about your patrons....“

“Thank you for the amazing catering that we ordered for our party today! The lamb, chicken and rice was a huge hit with everyone! The tzatziki sauce is out of this world. Our friends kept coming back for more🙌🏼 10/10 highly recommend!“

“My family has been going to the Sand Castle Diner for decades and we still love the food. The owners and waitresses are always sweet and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Highly recommended.“

“Came here for a quick, Sunday homestyle breakfast and was not disappointed at all. The atmosphere is unique, to say the least, but also gives a lot to start conversations amongst the table. Serving portions were superb and food was very tasty. I have seen other comments and reviews that were very negative and nasty, but everybody can have a bad day once in a while. They were complaining on the service and owner/waiter being rude and yelling. I've seen more positive ratings than negative ones. While not everybody has the same humor, people can definitely be some Debbie downers. All in all, we had a nice experience and enjoyed the food. Ihop who?? Lol will def be back!!!“

“Fish tacos got the 4 stars
Ribeyes got 3- flavorful, cooked perfectly, nice char but very tough

Server was in training but very good, attentive without hovering

Trivia night bar crowd but not rowdy

Espresso martinis were powerful and well made, presentation made them inviting

Nice clean spot. Have been here before and will return, maybe not for the ribeye though :)“

“Definitely come eat breakfast here! The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The staff is very attentive and polite. This place is an American classic“

“Really enjoy this place great raw bar“

“Food was very tasty and exactly what you want and expect from a NJ diner. They had quite a few daily off menu specials and I went for a classic diner food. Chipped beef on toast, grits and coffee. All tasted really good.

Parking: Plenty of parking on premises

Kid-friendliness: Yes. Easily and happily welcomed“

“Do they serve any Gluten Free bread? Do they have a GF menu of any kind? Thanks“

“Fast friendly service as well as Drinks being tasty. The food portion size was plenty for a nice amount of leftovers for lunch. So very delicious.“

“They have the best seafood around🥰“

“Wow! What a nice surprise! Great food and hospitality that's rare today. Authentic delicious made-to-order food and exceptional service. As first-timers, we were treated to a taste of their outstanding penne vodka and a creme-filled zepole. Wowee! We'll be back for sure. BYOB ???“

“Wonderful staff. Great atmosphere and DELICIOUS FOOD!“

“Kept driving by this place and finally got to try it out last week. As a Chicago native, I can tell you this is what I've been looking for the past 3 years of living here. The crust does not explode in your mouth like a bunch of tiny little splinters, it's softer and doughy. The ingredients and cheese are not skimped out on either, they are fresh ingredients and plentiful at that. The only thing I would change is more sauce, but I can do that myself next order on my own. Leftovers microwaved is a no go but air fried it's just like it came out of the oven all over again. In a Jersey full of Luigi's, pick Marios, you won't be disappointed. I suggest adding the wings into your order as well, best take out wings I've had from a pizza shop, super crispy breading and juicy interior.“

“I took my friend out to dinner for her birthday. We had the most amazing experience at Tardis! The food was absolutely incredible and the service was wonderful! This is most definitely a 5 star restaurant in every way! Highly recommended!“

“We have never been disappointed with a meal at IL Giardinello's. Always excellent food & excellent service.“

“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.“

“Joanne is the literal best! We have come here every summer on vacation, and make sure we are in Joanne's section. She is always polite and has always made sure we had a great experience, as well as all of her other tables at the same time. The food is also great, and the dinner was cheap. The restaurant is very nice inside. Joanne is truly an angel!

Parking: Always busy, so street parking is hard to come by. You have to pay, but it's cheap.“

“Great thanksgiving day meal today … food was fabulous… Kate our server was very attentive… thank you Lefty’s!!!“

“I go to the Forked River Diner often. The food is incredible. Every menu item I have ordered is excellent! The staff is very friendly and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend it!“

“Food is delicious, service is friendly“

“We (a party of 4) had dinner last Thursday (3-7-24). We decide to select our dinner choices from the fixed-price menu being offered that evening. EVERYTHING was wonderful. In reading the other reviews, they truly reflect our own dining experience. This is going to sound a little weird, but I have found this to be true. If the restaurant proprietor (as in this case) provides a restroom facility that goes beyond just clean and tidy, I believe the same attention to detail carries over to every aspect of the restaurant, from food preparation to presentation. Truth be told, I used the facility early in the evening. I can’t speak to what it may look like at the end of a busy summer Saturday service, but its condition would reflect more on the customer comportment. Final note, I’m about an hour away, but it is well worth the drive. GREAT RESTAURANT!“

“Food was delicious, the staff is friendly and service was great! The pho 🍜 was perfect. I highly recommend the cherry blossom shrimp wontons, we also tried the fried dumplings. Very yummy 😋“

“We had Kate & Ally’s cater a party at our local community center for 100 people. Everything from securing the date, choosing the menu, the food, and the service was top notch! I am so happy we were able to provide such high quality and creative food, but also, to have had the opportunity to just enjoy the party while the Kate and Ally staff handled it all from set up to clean up! Huge thank yous to Dianne, Lindsay, Janet, and Rich for all their hard work to help make my event special!“

“I wish I lived closer. 1st time here, it was best cheeseburger club and best french fries I have ever had. Fantastic waitress, and service too.“

“Always great food and cold beers!“

“Haven’t been back in awhile after 3 bad experiences in a Row—- but happy to report that food was back to AWESOME , very well prepared and fresh! HOPING this their new normal because we used to come here 2-3 X/WK but stopped -Will be back again! Keep up the good work!“

“I’m always a happy customer. They’re always hospitable and friendly, and food is delish!!“

“It’s the best pizza on this planet“

“This place has amazing food in a beautiful location….on the beach! Chef Mike was so gracious and generous when he agreed to have our wedding at his restaurant. The staff were amazing! Food was incredible and if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing! Thank you for making our day so special!“

“The food, Service, and atmosphere were all excellent. The fresh brewed tea is spot on. The Firecracker sauce is Devine and you can't go wrong with the wedge salad. Not a bad thing I can say from my experience.“

“Excellent food, excellent service“

“Great food, pizza and salad were both fresh and very good. Local brewed beer was fantastic. Only issue is the techno music. Doesn’t fit the vibe at all. Change or delete music pipes in altogether and it would be a 5-star place.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of families here.“

“I was hesitant to go to dinner by myself, but l always wanted to see my favorite performer from Albert Music Hall, singer extraordinare Tony Pileggi, at a dinner venue. Great and very reasonably priced food and beer, good service and Applebee's is now new favorite, preferably to also see Tony.“

“Theresa's Osaka Asian Bistro has an extensive menu of delicious asian inspired food. Their specials are always an added bonus and definately worth trying. From the first time we visited, we were treated as valuable guests by their professional staff. We have never been disappointed. That keeps us going back. If you enjoy sushi and asian inspired cuisine, we suggest giving them a try.“
