The Robinson Ale House - Long Branch

The service here can be hit or miss sometimes but, if you get the right server or bartender, it's an incredible time and a great vibe for locals and visitors alike. If I'm ever walking past and see Brooke working at the bar, I know I'm in for a phenomenal experience!

Overall we enjoyed our dinner. The wait staff was very friendly, helpfully explained some of the menu items, attentive but not hovering. The manager checked in with us part way thru the meal to see how things were going. The food was good - we both had the "Stout Braised Short Ribs". The meat was perfectly tender but not overdone. My partner thought it was excellent. I thought it needed a bit more depth of flavor - I didn't taste what I would have considered a 'stout' base, the onions and carrots were a bit underdone and needed more caramalization. Even so, I thought it was a very good entree and would order this again. I also had the French onion soup. The soup flavor was very good, the onions lightly browned, a big helping of tasty melted cheese on top. My issue with the soup was that the bowl was full of bread, leaving little room for the soup base. A good French onion soup has one or two slices of toasted French bread floating on top of the soup to provide a way to hold the cheese out of the broth. Less bread, more broth would make this an excellent soup.

Manager is amazing!!!!!!!!

"I love the relaxed feel of this place. Good food we both had chicken it was cook perfectly.

Manager has the patients of a saint!!!

Robinson was a nice place to have an evening diner. The Only thing is that The service was slow and we couldn’t eat outdoors on one side even though both sides had seats and were open. Service was slow but the food was good & presented well. Everything in the photos tasted good. Beach and boardwalk was right across the street. I’ll give it a 8.

First off I want to start out by saying that the staff was one of the nicest people I have met in a restaurant. They greeted me right away and made sure my table was clean and ready before going over. That being said, the food was great. I ordered the crab cake sandwich and everything was set to my liking. To be honest, I don't think it would have mattered what I ordered because from the looks of it everyones food one the tables around us looked so good. I cant wait to come here again, highly recommend them. Even the manager came by and greeted us to check in, very professional place. Worth every penny

Excellent service and accommodating management! Highly recommend!

We have been coming here for over 5 years including today. The thing that we love is that the food is great, the menu changes slightly always to offer something new and tempting and the bar team is always exceptional.

Thought this place was not anything crazy. Got the vodka pizza which was soggy and the cheese fell off, the calamari tastes burnt and just not good. The oysters were the only good thing. Service was alright and outdoor seating on one side is very small. Just not worth the price. I feel like there’s better places to eat at.

I am pretty annoyed with the service at this restaurant. Upon ordering my meal I specifically you told to be waitress that I had a dairy allergy. And upon receiving my meal I double-checked with the waitress to make sure that my item was in fact dairy free and she said that it was not. The roll that they used contain dairy. And I supposedly told her that I told you I had an allergy and argued with me a little bit. Asking what I would like her to do about it. Specifically telling her that I needed to be daily free. So she takes my food back remakes it to make it dairy-free. Then comes to find that she brings back my meal. And returns it with out the side that I specifically ordered with my meal. Then we asked for the check. Which I was charged twice for my meal. Upon asking for my waitress she comes back to the table where she knew automatically why we were asking for her to come back. So a little disappointing that that's a big deal that she messed up my order with allergy and never said anything before I consumed it that I could have had an allergic reaction. And not once did the manager not come to our table to say anything. Because if I didn't say anything I would have consumed the meal and it wouldn't have been good for me.
