“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!“

“Yummy yummy's food is consistently well prepared, and extremely tasty. From appy's ( chicken sticks and dumplings, our favorites), to entrees ( steamed veggies and shrimp to General Tsaos white meat chicken, Lo mein is amazing, fried rice, perfect!) Their food is authentic and is all "home cooking." My family loves when we order from Yummy yummy!“

“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 best service and food.“

“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.“

“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....“

“We went here on Thanksgiving. They had their open menu as well as a Thanksgiving dinner, which was delicious. The servers worked as hard as they could. To make sure everybody got their food on time. Click on the refills of your drinks.And you were able to sit out side by the water. If you go, i'm sure you will enjoy it.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Finally got to eat here! it was delicious, fresh and large portions. The one owner Carlos is very nice and friendly! Will definitely be back!!!“

“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.

“Such an amazing place to stop and grab some great food. We stopped here on a road trip headed south and ended up meeting Steve, the owner and chef, and had a great conversation with him! The food was amazing and Steve went out of his way to make it extra special for us due to our dietary restrictions. Definitely a place we will have to come back to!!! Thanks again Steve!

Dietary restrictions: We were on a strict carnivore diet so we could only have meat, cheese, eggs and no seed oils. Steve was very accommodating and the food was delicious!“

“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 ???“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😋“

“Nice place for lunch. Good food and drink.
Efficient, pleasant, and capable staff. Shared the Nachos platter. I had the riblets platter thoroughly enjoyed with a Yeungling. Make a great cup of coffee. Nice atmosphere. Ate at the bar, plenty of booths. Wednesday, 09/25/2024, not crowded. Nice ambiance inside.

Parking: Plenty of parking in their lot.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is our first purpose in going to Seaside, 2nd is walking the boardwalk. Fish is always done to perfection, never overcooked never undercooked. Always cooked to perfection 👌“

“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!“

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.“

“Absolutely love the owners dearly J and Danielle are two of the sweetest people. Food is top-notch and atmosphere is excellent for dinner with the family.

Kid-friendliness: The owner Jay is super cool with the kids. Gave coloring book and crayons and actually sat and talked with them. It was awesome.“
