“I went with 4 friends, we got a table right away, the staff was extremely nice and friendly, the food came out really quick and it was delicious, also was a very clean place, great place to check out.”
“This was my first time here. I'm visiting from Pennsylvania. It won't be my last. We ordered dinner to go. We had Chicken La Nonna, and Housemade Rigatoni. Everything was light fresh and delicious. The portions were large enough to have some for lunch tomorrow. Fresh bread was excellent. Now let me tell you about the Creme Brule cheesecake. I can't. It was so good that even I am speechless. I may have to go back tomorrow for another piece. Absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and the service was great.”

“I had always went to their Asbury Park location on Cookman or the boardwalk there. I decided to try the Long Branch Pier Village location. I’ve been back twice in the past two weeks. Natural sunlight floods into this location. It’s super clean and the staff is so friendly. One gentleman even carried my lunch over to my table and lent me his phone charger because my phone had died. Parking is free in the winter. Your view is the boardwalk and sky. A beach vibe feel. I went on the boardwalk after and took a walk. It was the perfect break.
The food - I had their squash soup and purple rice the first time at this location. I mixed them together. It was the perfect combination of just enough spice and warmth for a cold winters day. Fantastic and could tell it was not just squeezed out of some plastic bag and tossed in a microwave. This was homemade with a slice of crusty sourdough that was incredible and a nice touch. The second time I went I had every thing they put on the pork taco except the pork, I replaced it with tofu instead. There was no problem doing that and they rolled with that request. The food is excellent and consistant. There was never a time where I thought they are loosing their touch. I like the new limited time menu items because I’m always up for trying something new. The culinary combinations are so good. I wouldn’t consider it fast food at all even though you can get it to go , delivered or dine in. The prep is fast , the price is very fare , the food is homemade, consistently great and drink choices fantastic. With all that , bright and cheerful staff , view and good energy of the establishment I’ve decided to go to this location a lot.”

“Mix is a decent place to meet up with friends for the evening. It's closer to a bar/ lounge than a for food. The drinks are good and they do have decent bites to eat. It's kept nice and clean inside with good service. The interior has an updated and sort of hip feel to it. It's a good place for a fun night out with friends.”

“Stopped by the newly opened Gigi’s in Long Branch on my way to the beach. First off, loved that they have a parking lot which didn’t stress me about finding a spot cause I was going to have that adventure when I headed to the beach. I ordered the grandma’s pie and garlic knots! The grandma’s pie had pesto on it and I am a s***** for pesto!! Love the crust style being crispy. Hands down the best garlic knots I ever had! Don’t sleep on this place. It’s 3 blocks from the beach, easy parking and they deliver. I look forward to some pasta dishes on my next visit! Other key likes of mine was the aesthetic, it’s beautiful Inside but decorated to make you feel outside. I was very impressed with the kid friendly atmosphere of the chalkboard wall, beanbag seats and they even have juice boxes on hand for the kiddos. They also accommodate our tweens and teens with a pizza wing mural for their insta! They really thought of everything. The whole staff were so accommodating and genuine. Thank you Tommy and Faye for a great experience.”
“Jan. 2026
We went for lunch , our server was the only one there. I guess someone called out sick. She was extreamly pleasant and was hustling to keep everyone happy.
The food was okay. I ordered what was supposed to be a chance sandwich.
The chef needs to go to Hudson County to find out what it should look and taste like. But his sandwich was definitely edible.
The hot chocolate looked amazing, but not that great. Now there tea and coffee you could sit there for hours sipping away while watching the waves
Will definitely be going back.”
“I know Italian food. I asked AI what was the highest rated Italian restaurant in Long Branch. It gave me Rockafellers.
I knew the moment I tasted the sauce that came with the delicious Calzone that everything was going to be great. It was fresh and delicious.
The pizza was a home run. If I had to guess the pasta is going to be great too.
We'll find out later tonight!
Thank you!
Everything was great from the delivery to the food!”
“The food is consistent. And DELICIOUS. I’ve tried many Mexican restaurants as it’s my favorite. And this is my go to. Slow-er on the service but that’s due to how incredibly busy they are with take out orders alone. It’s family owned and run. They are so nice and I can’t speak enough about how authentic the food is.”
“This is the go to place for all your fun and entertaining. The place is very cozy. The food is great and the service is very friendly. The manager Cheryl knows how to handle any situation. And no, we’re not related… Ha ha ha
Come early stay late till 2 PM”

“I visited The Herd Juicery and was totally impressed. They have refreshing fruit bowls and juices, and they serve hot meals that are gluten-free and plant-based. For anyone who has celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's nice not having to worry about gluten cross contamination. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Even my husband loved his bowl and felt full afterwards without needing to take a nap. The smoothie bowls were a perfect guilt free desert!”
“Is a very nice bar most people are friendly and there"s plenty of places to park and the owners always willing 2 talk and discuss any kind of a conversation you want to have political or not”

“Nunzio's Pizza has seemingly been around since the beginning of time. It's one of those iconic spots in Long Branch that everyone has been to. The pizza is good and the service is pretty good too. It's not my favorite pizza in the area but I can't complain. The prices seem to be fine as well.”
“We were there on Monday of Labor Day Weekend and the staff and the place was amazing! You can imagine the rush when you go to a place like that on Labor Day weekend, add on top of that exhausted parents and over stimulated kids and it’s a recipe for disaster. But they were so patient and amazing and considerate and helpful when we were there. The portions are insane. The cookies are beyond amazing, still fresh 3 days later! And you’re on the beach. What more could you ask for? I’ll def be back!”
“I love their food , for the most part it’s always good never really had an issue when it comes to the freshness and the flavor, It’s always cooked to order… I must say Word Is Bond this was the best fish I ever had I mean bursting with flavor, crispy, and juicy. Whoever cooked this kudos to you because it was amazing… The fries was also very good nice and fresh..Will be back soon, keep up the good work!!!”
“A fantastic pizza joint in Long Branch. Great people running the show. They scorched the crust on the to-go reheats but this pie was still fantastic. Garlic Margherita was on point. Sicilian and grandma's were both killer. Friendly people making fresh, deelish pie. Give 'em your business.”
“The food is very good here. This was gonna be my regular spot until they decided to change the price every time I would show up. 1 week I paid $13.70
1 week after I would pay $14.70 and the following week I paid $14.70. Yesterday I went there and they charge me $16.00 for the same plate I always get. I question the price and the girl claim the price went up all of a sudden. Food is good and all. But to charge me a different price every week when I show up is crazy. You lost me as a customer. Thank you very much for your services.”
“The food was amazing, and I went there with 12 of my friends. The service was outstanding they got us everything we asked for and were extremely kind the entire time. The staff made us feel welcome, and you could tell they genuinely cared about our experience. My friends and I were just happy to be there and enjoy a great dinner together before heading back to college. I would definitely recommend this place and would 100% go again.”
“We stopped in here for lunch & the entire family loved their meals. We had a nice time here, the place is clean, staff is speedy & professional. We were able to park on the side. Their us outdoor & indoor seating. The food looked presentable and it all tasted fresh. Will definitely be returning here when we’re back in this area.
Kid-friendliness: One of my kids only eats tenders & fries wherever we go. My husband and I were craving tacos from here as highly recommended. Glad we were able to accommodate our child in a taco establishment.”

“A little secret! Really good food! Tasty, fresh, and made with love.”
“First time here and I wish it wasn’t love loved this place everything was beyond perfect and delicious food drinks (wish I took pictures but when something looks and smells that good u don’t think of pictures)service definitely coming back.”
“We went to El Rancho last month and it was absolutely delicious. The guacamole was very fresh and creamy. We also ordered the steak chimichanga and steak tostadas. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure 😊”
“We split the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and the kitchen sink fries, and it was ok. I guess it would be good bar food, but the fries weren't seasoned, so it was good with the sauce they put on, but when we got fries with the sandwich, the plain fries were unseasoned. We didnt really think this should be under "dive bar" so yea. Refers to food as nips and idk if it was the chicken tenders or just some other item used”
“We just had a bridal shower here and everything was wonderful! The food was delicious! The staff were so accommodating! Highly recommend! Five stars!”
“For some reason I was in the mood for lobster and I never am in the mood for lobster. I ordered the classic lobster roll for $22. I am always astounded about the cost of lobster rolls. Not sure how they stay in business. This was good. Toasted bun and lobster was fresh. Small portion but thats always the case with a lobster roll. Got my fix and would come back. 3.5 stars but rounding up.”

“I order doordash from this location every morning and they're great! The one thing I'd like to suggest, instead of sealing the bag you guys put your smoothies in can you put the seal over the straw hole and around the side of the smoothie lid? I had one dasher bring me the smoothie with the bag tore open and told me verbatim "those idiots don't know how to pack right I had to open your bag so the smoothie didn't fall over". I requested a refund from doordash and tossed the smoothie cause he could have done anything with it he wanted. Otherwise I love this place!!!”
