“We love coming to Stingers. We live about 35 minutes away, but it's worth the drive! My children always ask if we can come again every time. The food is amazing! Everything we tasted was always well made and tasty. Portions are large, and the atmosphere is upbeat. 10/10 recomend for families.”
“Goal line wings... Enough said! Oversized chicken wings, marinated in Frank's Red Hot sauce overnight then dredged in the tastiest batter and deep fried to perfection!!! Pizza, steak bites, wraps, sandwiches... everything is great! They have an awesome Sunday brunch as well with an amazing French Mimosa!!! They offer a weekly specials menu, are open late and do takeout as well! Everything is delicious! This is a downtown Long Branch staple and a great place to watch the game!!! But beware, it's far from fancy and gets pretty loud on any given game day!”
“First time here. Visiting my cousin. The service and professionalism were present along with great atmosphere.I had the Veal parmesan Chop with a delicious pasta. My cousin had the Halibut, which was another tasty dish. We also had the Calamari first for an appetizer. It's delicious with a slight kick with the sauce.Go and have a great Italian meal. You won't be disappointed.”

“Beyond pleased we found this gem - having grown up in Tuscany and lived in NYC for 20+ years, I can say their pizza was one of the most authentic and reminiscent of home that I've had in the city. Husband's papperdelle bolognese were also excellent, as were other's ravioli, as well as the Elizabeth Street cocktail. Only regret was that we DIDN'T stay for dessert and instead went for mediocre cannoli on Mulberry. I really wish I had stayed for their pannacotta or affogato. Next time!”

“I’ve only gotten take out from this place, but goooooooshdarn is it delicious. We’ve tried four of the specialty pizzas, all of which elicit a happy dance. The general tsos pizza has been my favorite so far, definitely a must try. If you asked my boyfriend though, he’d say the money pie is the sure winner. At this point I’ve accepted that you cant go wrong here”

Some of my favorites are the pulled chicken chimichangas and carnitas tacos. Today I tried the tacos al pastor... Holy Cow they were good! Everything is so fresh. They just launched online ordering, which is really nice. I might have to go back tomorrow! Try it out and let me know what you think”

“Food and experience was warm and exceptional…..The evenings here are different every night.I would highly recommend that you experience this establishment for yourself.Bravo!”
“Had to write this review because this just happened. I had placed an order through their website couple of things and an order of their small spare ribs. They come 4 in a small. When I checked them I realized yes, I had four pieces but they so so small, two made up one rib. I called the restaurant and told them with no attitude. They were completely understanding so they asked me to bag the small ones up and they immediately came and replaced them. That was amazing and I really appreciated it. I love their ribs lol.”

Would definitely go back.”

The roast beef was slightly overcooked but had a nice flavor. The waffles could have been more crispy but with the whipped cream and berries it was delicious. It was our second year in a row going for Easter. A great tradition in the making.”

“I'm not the biggest fan of strollo's because they don't serve hard ice-cream. But they have alot of great toppings for your soft ice-cream. I never tried their Italian ice, so I can't comment on that. The place is always packed though.”

“Surprised I haven’t rated this place til now. As a Vegan at the shore, Hummus Republic is one of my favorite places to go. I always get a bowl and I always load it up and I always love it. Garlic Jalepeno is my favorite sauce. When I want it spicy, either of the hot options are great.”
“How can anyone not love Rook? Between the fun branding, and delicious coffee, and punk-rock resistance to BIG COFFEE, this company is the go-to brew of the Jersey Shore.Parking: Be careful and cautious with the shared parking situation as many are grabbing and going. That said, I've never not seen a space.”

“FOOD = 5 STAR Ambiance = 3 star Service = 1 star When the crackers for the soup fall on the floor as the server was walking with it.. DON'T pick them up off the floor and put them on the customer's table to be eaten.. it's GROSS.. the server was nice, but they clearly have no clue about food service. Used to love this place.. but will NEVER be back I left a 5 star review because it's not the owner's fault.”
“The Italian ice was really good and my family enjoyed it. Unfortunately I chose the mango flavor and it tasted like hand lotion, it was really bad. I would recommend blue raspberry as the flavor is a lot better.”
“Walked by one morning on our way to Offshore, checked out the menu, the tacos caught our attention, specifically the Baja Fish and Tulum Shrimp tacos, a couple of our favorites. Decided to come back for lunch the next day. We ordered the aforementioned tacos. Server was nice, brought our drinks fairly quickly along with some tortilla chips... but no salsa. Had to go inside and request it later. Salsa has good flavor, they have a green and red, mild to medium spice. Tacos arrived, they looked great, nice presentation... but the shrimp was seriously lacking in flavor. My wife and I have had shrimp tacos in Tulum and these weren't even close. Plus only 2 medium-sized bland shrimp in each taco. The Baja Fish taco had decent flavored sauce on it. The tortillas were not warmed or grilled or anything on either tacos.”
“The food is absolutely incredible! The King Crepe may be one of the best it jersey. Would totally recommend. Staff were friendly, service was quick. It's quite small inside but has a fantastic aroma from the kitchen in the back. I would come here every day if I could. Would totally recommend!”
“One of my favorite go to sports bars for awesome Portuguese food and drinks. Food is outstanding alonf witht the service from the friendly owner and super nice bartenders and servers. ???”
“If you want frozen food, pre-prepared in a commercial kitchen, then reheated and served to you….don’t come here.The Nip N Tuck has chef curated, freshly made to order, upscale bar food, served in a relaxed, unpretentious and comfortable environment.”
“They renovated this restaurant. It’s much better and brighter. Has a lot of options.I would like them to bring a little more attention to the vegetarians. Options like fake sausage, fake meat and ext.but otherwise nice place to have lunch or breakfast.”
“This was a nice place to visit on Thanksgiving. The bartender poured me tall shots which I appreciated but didn't need.Definitely would come back here again when I'm in the area.”
“Good food for a fair price. I get the chicken and rib combo! You can't beat it. The owner is very nice, she always greets me on the way in. love this place, I try to get here as much as possible! Cash only!”

“This is the only Brazilian bakery that we found it on Google search from my location , Bay Head area.Very friendly staff and delicious food.I think if they have more light wound be better , just need more organization with the visual appearance inside the business.”
“On Broadway, so it's often busy and make have some unruly customers, but it's McDonalds. My food always tastes fresh. Better to order ahead in the app ”
“At this dunkin, as always, I ordered through the app. I usually get 2 bagels.....1 for my mother and 1 for myself. Mines gets toasted with butter and all the other is just sliced. Well, this the 2nd time I go there and the 2nd bagel is toasted. And I asked the young man was 1 toasted and the other not and he said yes. So now when I order from here, I'll check my order before leaving.”
“My family and I have been eating from Norah's for YEARS. The food is DELICIOUS! The vibe is humble and family oriented. Every time I come I order something different and it's always on the money! The food is made to order and the quantities are very generous! If you want food made fresh with pure caribbean style & flavor, head to Norah's, you won't be disappointed!”

“Absolutely great food at very reasonable prices. Staff and owner also went out of their way to find the soccer game my ladyfriend and i were interested in watching on their TVs. Definitely coming back here whenever i visit Long Branch again.!”
“A bit overpriced but their ice cream flavors are rocking! They had a nice seating area outside, their facilities and shop was well kept and clean. Customer service was great! She was very patient with my daughters. I would definitely return to try their other ice cream flavors. Toasted stores ice cream cone was hands down like a campfire taste. You have the option to order any type of cookie or brownie to create your ice cream sandwich. We had a brownie sandwich which could two adults can eat.”
“Laroco pupusas rock. Like the other food, too! A note, Latino culture reveres sweets--careful, if you lean toward keto dietary tendencies...Dietary restrictions: You may be able to work around some dietary restrictions, but approach with caution, if you have actual sensitivities/allergies/intolerance, not just sensibilities. Cheers, enjoy!!!”

“how great is it they the original owners of the Diet Gourmet have reopen in the same location in Elberon NJ. The menu is even better than before. They have all their old favorites and a whole bunch of new ones( pizza, flat breads, fish and chip, baked Eggplant) just to name a few.Also they redecorated the whole whole place from and new size to new floors, tables, bathroom repainted in light colors, rebuilt the whole kitchen with new equipment. And the original owner chef is back in the kitchen doing her thing. Healthy food at it's best, kosher dairy at it's best. GO Tomorrow.”

“Great food. On the more authentic side. Waitress was very accommodating when I asked for extra verde and was bilingual.Kid-friendliness: Casual restaurant. Not too fancy to bring children”
“Beach Grille is a little hole in the wall that only the locals know about. It’s totally casual, so no need to dress up. They have a couple of things that I get there that I enjoy- the banana bread French toast with bananas foster is delicious. But if I want something savory I get the breakfast pipeline. The staff are friendly and willing to please.”
“Galindos is one of my favorite local places in Long Branch to order food. Me and my buddy always order take out from them and get the burritos. I personally get chicken on mine, but there are a lot of options. Very large portion sizes and great quality, and the prices are great! Also recommend the horchata!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ming Ying Chinese Restaurant in Long Branch, NJ, and I can't stop raving about their Beef Chow Fun. It was an absolute delight!The beef in this dish was incredibly succulent and tender. Each bite practically melted in my mouth, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The seasoning was spot on, enhancing the natural taste of the beef without overwhelming it. The combination of the tender beef and the savory sauce made for a truly delicious experience.Additionally, the noodles in the Beef Chow Fun were piping hot and wonderfully fresh. They had a delightful chewiness to them that added a satisfying texture to the dish. The noodles absorbed the flavors of the sauce beautifully, making each bite a burst of deliciousness.Ming Ying Chinese Restaurant certainly knows how to make a standout Beef Chow Fun, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying and flavorful Chinese cuisine experience. I'll definitely be returning for more of this fantastic dish!”

“I enjoy chicken lemon w/orzo soup with the Katie's salad and the bread sticks. Staff is very friendly and polite. My only feedback to the restaurant is related to the condition of the restaurant. The plants in the front need some TLC and there is some hanging wiring that doesn't look good on my last visit I felt that the decorative aspect of the restaurant has deteriorated significantly and it is no longer attractive. Please consider some upgrade.”

I’ve been coming here for nearly 2 years and order at least once every 2 weeks and I’ve never had a negative experience. I recommend Izu to anyone who reads this review!!!”

Order anything at this place, you can not go wrong.”

“Food was excellent, enjoyed the atmosphere. had sardines as an appetizer, they were cooked perfectly with a lot of flavor. The scallops in my papaya were of excellent texture and melted in your mouth.I also recommend the grouper. which was cooked perfectly.”
“An odd little place, but good for lunch. We were there mid-afternoon and the place was empty. Our server (one of the owners) was very friendly and attentive. At her suggestions we ordered the piri piri mixed grill to share between the two of us. Although it comes with rice and french fries, we opted for the fries + a salad for a $1.75 upcharge. It also comes with garlic bread and olives. The garlic bread was tasty. The french fries were spot-on: arrived hot from the fryer and were nice and crisp. The salad was also very good, especially considering February in NJ. The lettuce was fresh and crunchy and I didn't see any brown or wilted leavesl. The tomatoes were the sad pale imitation of real tomatoes - I'd use cherry tomatoes or leave them out if I were making a salad this time of year. The only dressing offered was oil and vinegar, which was fine with us. There was plenty of meat on the platter, a good varity of chicken, pork and beef, and it was well-seasoned. However, it was a bit dry and tough (except for the chicken, which was good). I felt that a sauce of some sort on the meat would have improved it a lot. We like Portuguese/Brazilian food a lot. I think we'll likely go back and try something else.”
“Ordered the Mr. Max and my wife The New Yorker as well as onion rings. Dogs were great! Rings were delicious and crispy. We sat at the bar and the woman who waited on us was very personable and friendly. We were visiting from Maine. Would go back again!”

“My absolute favorite local vegan place. Hot specials change weekly. Everything is good. I wish they had a bigger menu but then I'd probably eat there everyday!! Limited street parking but you're in and out pretty quick (to-go only). Most friendly staff. Always positive in person and on social media. Love love love them!!”

“On the beach..great views of the ocean. Calamari was a bit on the tough side, but the bartender and service were really good. The wine glasses truly shine and it's an awesome feeling to know that someone takes such care.”
“My experience at La Avenue for Easter Brunch was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived until I left, I felt welcomed and the food was excellent and as well as the serviceI highly recommend it!” “From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a great experience.”
“Food quality was excellent, Excellent variety at Thanksgiving buffet. Table by the window. Well done. One critique...live music was too loud. Its for background at a restaurant not a club.”
“Beyond pleased we found this gem - having grown up in Tuscany and lived in NYC for 20+ years, I can say their pizza was one of the most authentic and reminiscent of home that I've had in the city. Husband's papperdelle bolognese were also excellent, as were other's ravioli, as well as the Elizabeth Street cocktail. Only regret was that we DIDN'T stay for dessert and instead went for mediocre cannoli on Mulberry. I really wish I had stayed for their pannacotta or affogato. Next time!”
“Initial service was disappointing despite reservations made. We arrived early but waited to get noticed. We were seated and then we waited….and waited and waited some more. The server who looked after the table behind us walked by several times and sat at an empty table to text on his phone. (Not sure it was a company phone!) He seemed more interested in his Milli Vanilli hair due than service tables. I then asked the host if it was possible for us to get someone to serve us as we planned on having dinner not breakfast as they are closed for breakfast. I told her despite the fact that we received a free drink coupon we were willing to pay for our other drinks and dinner. Soon afterwards, a very friendly young lady from the bar came by to serve us. She made up for the delay and was worth our time there. (Sorry we didn’t get her name, she was awesome.) The food was absolutely delicious, and exceeded our expectations. Dessert was the best. Compliments to the food staff, preparation and presentation was 6 stars! We left a 20% tip despite our initial disappointment. I would go back without question.”
“Turning Point is bright and lively. Just steps away from the beach it's a lovely spot to start the day. Service is welcoming and to food is delightful. Their breakfast options are great.”
“Me & my coworker order smoothies for lunch here almost every week recently. My boss tried the “what’s up doc” juice and said it was fantastic. I purchased 2 juices to try for the next 2 days & I can’t wait to try!!”
“Ordered the Mr. Max and my wife The New Yorker as well as onion rings. Dogs were great! Rings were delicious and crispy. We sat at the bar and the woman who waited on us was very personable and friendly. We were visiting from Maine. Would go back again!”
“Simply Delicious!Fresh and perfectly cook..A Pizzaria that feels like it should be on Arthur Ave in the Bronx. The chicken parm was fabulous.. light perfectly sauced... a must try.I can't believe I didn't try the meatballs.. next week!!Needs some fish options and meat options.The key for me is the spaghetti came out with steam rising! That's where it all starts!!Go now... while it's in the making..A simply gem!!”
“I’ve only gotten take out from this place, but goooooooshdarn is it delicious. We’ve tried four of the specialty pizzas, all of which elicit a happy dance. The general tsos pizza has been my favorite so far, definitely a must try. If you asked my boyfriend though, he’d say the money pie is the sure winner. At this point I’ve accepted that you cant go wrong here”
“I highly recommend this Playa Bowls. It’s all healthy food. I love everything on the menu. The place is clean. They always have surfing on one of the tvs, which is awesome and all the employees are friendly, polite, and helpful. Plus if you download their app you can get discounts. I’m very satisfied with Playa Bowls.Vegetarian options: I’m vegan and sometimes it’s hard finding vegan options when I go out to eat but Playa Bowls has a great selection for vegans and everything is vegetarian.”
“Galindos is one of my favorite local places in Long Branch to order food. Me and my buddy always order take out from them and get the burritos. I personally get chicken on mine, but there are a lot of options. Very large portion sizes and great quality, and the prices are great! Also recommend the horchata!”
“Offshore Coffee Co is a great space to relax and enjoy a coffee and a breakfast sandwich. There is comfortable seating and the space is setup to spend time and enjoy their coffee and food.”
“I'm not the biggest fan of strollo's because they don't serve hard ice-cream. But they have alot of great toppings for your soft ice-cream. I never tried their Italian ice, so I can't comment on that. The place is always packed though.”
“No matter when you eat at Trama's Trattoria, you always have an outstanding meal! The veal parmigiana and the rigatoni with sausage and peas were both absolutely delicious. We will always return !”
