“We took a long weekend to the Jersey Shore. We stopped in at Meg's Grill for breakfast. Clean, welcoming staff and a great breakfast! What else can you ask? Oh, and pet friendly.“

“Wonderful staff. Great atmosphere and DELICIOUS FOOD!“

“I had such a wonderful time! From the moment I walked in, everything felt warm and welcoming. The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better brunch experience.

But what truly made my visit unforgettable was Adan, our server. He was genuinely kind, attentive without being overwhelming, and had such a positive energy that made the whole meal even more enjoyable. He anticipated everything we needed, gave great menu recommendations, and made us feel truly cared for. You can tell he really takes pride in his work, such a rare and refreshing quality.

I left feeling happy, full, and already planning my next visit. If you ever come to this location, ask for Adan! He’s a gem!“

“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.“

“This is the best food so far so good one of the best counter got to be young lady name Jessie she so sweet and kind and helpful“

“What a gem! Super cute venue, perfect for intimate gathering or workshops! The food is amazing, the staff is the greatest and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting! Really enjoyed my time there!“

“Ordered catering for family party. Food was SO good! Delivery on time. Quick setup. They even provided serving utensils. I had to make a few last-minute changes and they were super to work with. The ribs were tender & not fatty at all. And the mac ‘n cheese & cornbread were big hits! Definitely recommend. I’m already ordering again for next weekend.“

“First time here. The food is very good. Service was great. Will definitely be back again.“

“Some of the best IPAs I have ever had!!“

“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!!!“

“Beer and pizza. So Yummy!!“

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

“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“

“The Bomber Sandwich is tremendous. Have known the owners for years. Always great 👍 food 🥘“

“We were visiting family in the area and they recommended Berritazza. I had a yogurt parfait with fruit and peanut butter and my husband had a ham and cheese grilled sandwich. The food was really good, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. And the coffee was delicious!“

“New owner is awesome. Won my heart ❤️ today. Thanks for your help“

“Great atmosphere for a family breakfast. Food is delicious and service is great“

“The breakfast is excellent at the Riverside Cafe . Their pancakes are among the best I have ever had with great texture and flavor, (no need for syrup). I also liked their egg sandwiches and homemade hash browns. Looking forward to trying more food from here. It is nice to have friendly service while enjoying the view of the boats as they move through the inlet.“

“Tonight was my second time doing happy hour at JoeBellas. The Fig and Pear martini is straight up divine. The happy hour menu is fun. I had no problem eating Parmesan Truffle Fries for dinner LOL so so yummy. My husband and I brought his cousins last Saturday for a beautiful sit down dinner and as we were being seated we saw our neighbor's from two houses over! Bought them a round of course. Everyone was very happy with their meal. What a fun local restaurant. You'll wait in the summer time of course, totally worth the wait but now that we locals have it back I'll be frequenting more often. I happen to bring a friend tonight who is now a loyal fan. #lovejoebellas“

“Super tasty beers, good people, great hang. Love music, good food not far away and easy to find parking. All great stuff!“

“My cousin and I had the BEST lobster tail dinner…. I think I’ve ever had. The lobster tails were absolutely delicious. And our server was amazing. I believe her name was Kaitlyn.“

“The other day my friends and I had the pleasure of eating at the Langhorn Steakhouse on Rt 70 in Lakewood. The meals were more than reasonably priced, and they were delicious. The staff was attentive, extremely friendly and courteous. Ty, the host, met us so amiably and showed us to our table. The server, Sharon B., was so attentive we never had to ask her for anything. Anything we needed she was right there to give it to us. We couldn't have asked for more.“

“Home made soups prepared daily New England or manhattan clam chowder, Butter Nut Squash Bisque, Texas Chili!!! Ask about their meal plans“

“Cute little place. Waitress was lovely. Food was decent. Nothing to really go crazy and rave about. Very very pricey. More expensive than center city steakhouses! Hated the weird dim led lighting. Guitar guy was fun. Wine was good. We would return but wouldn’t rush back. SP has limited options so, God Bless. Don’t blame you for charging top $. Atmosphere was much nicer than Chef Mike ABG. Updated and clean! A plus for that. Thank you for a fun night 🥰 Bring on summer“

“Chinese Gourmet is absolutely the best spot in the area. The service is top notch, incredibly polite and thoughtful staff. Delivery was fast and the driver made sure everything was in order. I recommend this place to anyone who asks me where to eat in Point Pleasant!“

“Can I just give a shout out to this neighborhood gem who always delivers high quality, delicious sushi. They are creative, they are consistent, and are one of our top ‘go to’ places when we order in. Thank you Koi for being such a wonderful local business! 🍣🍱❤️“

“One word…. BANGING. this place was soooo gooood!!!! We were in town for a wedding, and we saw that the one bite pizza guy rated them. So we figured why not. And we were NOT disappointed. The pepperoni pizza and garlic knots were out of this world. My only upset was not ordering more so that we could take some home to TN!“

“Papa V’s has the most amazing authentic Italian food, and I’ll always come back to it no matter what! All of the staff were incredibly nice and hardworking, and we had the sweetest interaction with the owner who stopped by our table to make sure everything was great! If you’re in the area, this is a must try!“

“Adorable little truck serving the BEST Açaí bowls amongst other delicious healthy treats!! Their employee Olivia was super sweet and was even able to recommend places to see and do in the area!!! A must try on your vacation to the Jersey Shore!!“

“Great Location! Very Quaint Adorable Hotel!“

“Great place to eat good food..great service“

“I just stumbled upon you guys at the Point Pleasant Farmer's Market on Sunday, June 22, 2025, and you hand-rolled fresh mozzarella for me, it was piping hot when you first handed it to me - it doesn't get any fresher than that! Plus I got some Burrata and Ricotta. AMAZING! I'll definitely be back to the market to replenish!“

“I ordered a custom icecream for a special occasion. Cake was made exactly to my request, everything from the different layers, icecream flavors, & toppings. Everyone enjoyed the cake and asked, where is the icecream cake from? If you have a peanut butter lover in your life, I highly recommend this peanut butter themed icecream cake. Aside from this custom order, we are regular customers. The icecream 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. This review is for the Lanoka Harbor, NJ location.“

“My granddaughter & I were there for lunch today & we had Denise as our server (waitress), she was so nice & very patient - I give her 5 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🥰“
