“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“They are such nice people and the food is fantastic. The shrimp and broccoli dish is fresh and it's not the little, tiny shrimps. They make their own egg rolls too, they're delicious. It is my family's go to spot, we have kind of seen their family grow up over the years. Reasonable prices too. Highly recommend!“

“There was A Slight Mishap. We didn't bring it up but the manager John & Waitress Jess Noticed and brought it to our attention and Made It Right....It was a great experience, With Very Kind Staff/Waitress/Manager During A Crazy Busy Night....Much Gratitude“

“Always Great Service, and the food is always incredible“

“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.“

“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!“

“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....“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“They have the best seafood around🥰“

“Owner/chef is a great guy. Very personable! Will go out of his to ensure your satisfied. Found the Fire Pit by accident. So glad we did. Shrimp in his garlic and shrimp dish are large, not the usual small ones. His barbecue chicken is cooked on a barbecue coals, not in an oven or on a gas grill. Food is fresh. The spanish sausages were also high quality. Forgot to mention the pulled pork was also tasty.“

“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!!!“

“We had a great experience overall! The tomato pie came out hot and fresh, the buffalo wings were definitely on the spicy side but still really delicious (just wish I had some ranch on the side!). The nacho supreme was so good — I’d absolutely order it again, just without the jalapeños next time.

Service was solid with refills coming regularly, but we did have to wait a bit for our food. Toward the end, it felt like we were being rushed out, which wasn’t ideal since we were enjoying great conversation with a couple next to us.

Prices were affordable, the location is convenient, and parking was good. Overall, it’s a fun spot in South Jersey for good laughs, drinks, and company. We’d definitely go back!

🍕❤️“

“I tried lefty’s for the first time tonight and ordered delivery. The food arrived fresh and hot and the burger was out of this world along side of their wings. Highly recommend to everyone one next time I will be dining in.“

“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!“

“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“

“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 😋“

“Always great food and cold beers!“

“Wife and I took a day trip to Seaside Heights; wanted something a little more substantial than boardwalk fare to cap off our beach day. TripAdvisor rated Klee’s highly, so we decided to give it a try and we weren’t disappointed. Maybe a 15 minute wait for our table, and Shannon took very good care of us while we were there. Food was a good temperature when served and was delicious; I had the fish & chips platter and Dee had the flounder off the daily specials menu. Would highly recommend and look forward to a return visit next time we’re in town.“

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

“Wow! I love veal. The last time I had veal this good was at a small place in Brooklyn with about 8 tables. That was about 45 yrs ago. I was like 10 years old. Some people call it milk fed, others call it abuse. Whatever you call it, if you love veal, this is the place to go. AMAZING!!!“

“It’s the best pizza on this planet“

“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.“

“This place is a Hidden Gem...I can't wait to go back for Sunset Friday night dinner!! My husband is the most critical person when it comes to Restaurants, BUT he LOVES the Food here, 😉😁 See ya soon!!!“

“Had such an amazing dinner my first time being out since being diagnosed with celiac. Our servers name was Robert he went above and beyond to help with selecting and accommodating. The food was amazing and the service was amazing will definitely be coming back“

“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!“

“If you close your eyes and picture a classic Jersey diner, Mustache Bill’s is probably exactly what you’re imagining. But on LBI, it’s more than a diner. It’s a way of life.

This isn’t just a place for tourists. It’s packed with locals, which tells you everything you need to know. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and there’s a reason people have been coming back for generations.

One of our favorite things is the fun-shaped pancakes for the kids. They even turn the butter into part of the artwork, which is a small touch that always brings a smile to the table.

For breakfast, I highly recommend the Eggs Louie, their take on crab cake eggs Benedict. It’s outstanding. That said, I’ve worked my way through a good portion of the menu over the years, and you really can’t go wrong with anything.

The prices are fair, especially for being on the island, and the portions never disappoint.

One tip for first-time visitors: bring cash. Mustache Bill’s is cash only, and there isn’t an ATM on site. If you forget, there’s one just down the street.

Whether you’re a longtime local, a summer regular, or visiting LBI for the first time, Mustache Bill’s is one of those places that should be part of your island tradition.“

“Such a wonderful atmosphere. Came here at sundown, sun was coming in through the windows. So golden and beautiful in here. Food was great. Very helpful and sweet staff. My only problem was not being able to give a cash tip. That shouldn’t be a thing.“

“I had a great experience at Bubakoo’s Burritos. I ordered the loaded curly fries and the Chiwawa, and both were honestly really good full of flavor and cooked perfectly.

What stood out just as much as the food was the service. The staff was friendly and greeted me right when I walked in, which set a great tone. On top of that, my order was ready super quick, which I really appreciated.

Overall, great food, fast service, and a welcoming vibe, I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“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 👌“

“Food is delicious, service is friendly“

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

“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 ???“

“This place is such a great find! The food is always fresh and carefully prepared to perfection. From rolls to bowls, sides to appetizers all of their food has such a great taste to it. Try the Crab Rangoon, Boneless Spare Ribs or their dumplings and enjoy!!“
