“The best sushi that I have had in my life, fresh and very tasty! The calm and cozy atmosphere, the service is extremely attentive and concerned about whether your wishes are being met. It is been a long time since I had an experience like this, not to mention the quality of the food. I will recommend it to everyone I know, a place you have to visit. Sushi on leek in Long Branch”
“What a wonderful restaurant. Upscale atmosphere and service. The food is beyond delicious! I look forward to returning!”
“I’ve been going daily after running and practicing yoga. I liked the sea moss smoothies with cold brew. Tasty, wholesome and filling. The staff was very nice. Everything that is vegan is clearly marked and the staff is knowledgeable”
“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.”

“Located near the beach. (Busy 4th of July weekend. A Saturday. Parking is difficult. There’s a public parking garage for $40. What a ripoff from the town. Very little street parking. There was a lot charging $30 so we did that. But still. Well, that’s the jersey shore.) The parking has nothing to do with the quality of the restaurant. I’m just noting parking factors 😉
So now the food …. There aren’t entrees apparently Saturday and Sunday. But Mon - Fri apparently there is. On Weekends It’s burgers and things. There were several items they didn’t have such as the lamb pops. We were a party of 5. We truly had enough food. Enjoyed the drinks such as beer, shots, martinis. A French martini, lychee martini etc. I’m a vegetarian and there was a lot for me. We ordered a charcuterie board to share. It was a great time ! I highly recommend it. The staff is great.”

“Had an amazing dinner here! Peter and Juan were especially amazing — the whole staff was so accommodating and truly gave me a wonderful experience. My friends and I were blown away by how good everything was — our jaws literally dropped! We’ll definitely be back!”
“We just had our wedding 12-7-2024! From consultation to end of evening Rachel, Lisa and Nelson took care of us! I can’t say enough! Food was top notch! Our signature drinks were spot on! The decore was handled perfectly! They made our dream wedding a dream! Everyone was raving that it was the best wedding they had been to! Thank you! We didn’t have to worry about a thing! We are so happy! I totally recommend having your special event at McLoone’s pier house!”
“I went to the Robinson Ale House on June 29, 2024. Service was excellent. The waitress was wonderful. My husband and I had lunch. I had a T-bone steak special , he had meatloaf. They were excellent. We had key lime pie for dessert. Really good too. We were seated outside on the side because we needed shade. Planning another trip in August. I can’t wait to try the Drunken Clams this time if it’s still on their menu. I hope I get the same waitress. If they still have the T-bone on their daily special I recommend you get that. I had mine medium rare. Quite pricey but well worth it. The rest of the menu is moderately priced. Good generous sized portions. Definitely recommend. 5 stars”
“there big burgers, home made fresh mozzarella cheese sticks, and hot wings I had mild kids had hot, home made mack and cheese on the money, 💰💰”

“It sucks that there’s only 5 stars cuz I would give 35 by atmosphere

I come here all the time and I won’t stop coming
Thanks for making the best food and vibe in the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
“Rigatoni bolognese delizioso!
Roast beef sub with the works to die for and made was real roast beef!
Even his big salad is always fresh and yummy!
I’m From originally from Brooklyn and I was a chef, so I know what good Italian food is supposed to taste like!
And Ricco and Renee are sweethearts!”
“I eat a LOT
This spot has everything! GREAT FOOD, SERVICE & DRINKS
Somehow even kid friendly enough for my 2 kids under 2
Incredible time
Super reasonable prices”

“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!”
“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.”
“So I am moving into Long Branch this week. I google “best pizza near me,” and this place comes up. I order…I go there to pick up our food…I tell Chris I’m in the process of moving and ask for paper plates, napkins and plastic cutlery…he didn’t have any…he says “I’ll do one better.” He then goes in the back and grabs me 4 real plates and silverware…made my first home dining experience a great one that I’ll always remember! I returned the plates and silverware clean when I finished dinner. Thank you Chris! The food was terrific and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the nice welcome to “the neighborhood!” I’ll see you again soon!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”

“A little secret! Really good food! Tasty, fresh, and made with love.”
“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”

“Alright, let me tell you something—if you’re looking for some real Mexican food, not that fast-food, drive-thru nonsense, then this is the spot. I’m talking about the kind of food that makes you sit back, loosen your belt, and reevaluate every bad meal you’ve ever had. This ain’t no “let’s grab a quick bite” kinda place—this is “cancel your plans, we eating good tonight” territory!
First off, the nachos? Forget about it! My daughter took one bite and straight-up said she may never eat nachos anywhere else again. And I believe her! This place ruins all other nachos for you! The burritos? Massive. The enchiladas? Smothered in sauce like they just got a hug from their abuela. And the salsas? They don’t play around—there’s heat, there’s flavor, and if you can’t handle it, that’s your problem.
And the staff? Man, they treat you like family—like the kind of family that actually likes each other! They keep your drinks full, your chips coming, and they do it all with a smile. Because let’s be real—if you’re working in a place serving food this good, you gotta be in a good mood!
So if you want real Mexican food, stop playing around and come here. Just be ready to leave stuffed, happy, and already planning your next visit. Oh, and tip your server! Don’t be cheap—if you can afford that extra side of guac, you can afford to tip right!”
“Food was very very good!!”
“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!!!”
“It was amazing! first time at long branch beach and won’t be our last. The pizza was really good and nice prices. The lady at the cash register has great customer service and kind. A kind gentlemen made several trips inside to make sure we had everything we need as our family went to eat outside under the umbrellas. We will for sure be coming back!! Made our 4th of July holiday a bit more special.”
“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.”
“The Diet Gourmet is by far the best Kosher place to go and enjoy an amazing lunch! The staff is amazing and so friendly and attentive towards all of their customers, knowing most on a first name basis. If your in the Long Branch area i highly recommend checking this place out, you won’t regret it!!
Vegetarian options: Everything here is vegetarian and amazing! I definitely recommend trying the Famous Impossible Burger
Kid-friendliness: Best Kid Menu around out of the kosher restaurants. Always has kids channels on TV
Parking: A huge variety of parking at the Elbron Train Station and infront of the restaurant
Dietary restrictions: So many good diet options like the salads and impossible burgers !”

“From the moment I walked into Playa Bowls, I felt an immediate sense of warmth and positivity, all thanks to Katelyn. She greeted me with a genuine smile and a friendly attitude that instantly made me feel welcome. It wasn’t just about placing an order—it felt like I was being taken care of by someone who truly enjoyed what she was doing.
As I watched Katelyn prepare my bowl, I could see the care and attention she put into every step. She didn’t just toss the ingredients together—she crafted it with precision and love. The colors, the layering, the perfect balance of toppings—it all reflected someone who takes pride in their work. When I took my first bite, I could actually taste the difference. It wasn’t just açaí and fruit; it was joy in a bowl.
Katelyn turned a simple visit into a standout experience. Her kindness, her energy, and the love she put into my order made this one of the best customer service moments I’ve had in a long time. I left not only satisfied but genuinely happier than when I walked in. I’ll definitely be coming back—and hoping she’s the one behind the counter again!”
