“FOOD
We go strictly for the Hibachi. They start you with soup and salad. Fried rice, Lo mein, fresh grilled veggies, and your meat/chicken/seafood choice. My choice is the Filet and Scallops. It's never disappointed. My wife gets the Gluten-free meal which is plentiful and I'm sure equally good.
SERVICE
The server on Friday was ehhh... going through the motions. Generally they're pretty pleasant and at least efficient. While they do the legwork, the chef is the one doing the meal... which takes us to --->
ATMOSPHERE
Our Hibachi chef was Ocean this time. Yep, pronounced like it's spelled! He was great. There were kids at the table and he was sure to give them special attention.
Don't wanna spoil the entertainment, but Ocean made the experience a lot of fun. Don't forget the saki shots!
COST
Very reasonable for Hibachi. It's BYOB which helps with the expense. Tipping is always tricky! Chef v server... hmmm.

Have a blast and enjoy!
Peace...“

“C’mon, We Locals all know our Bagels & Beyond is THE BEST👍👍👍“

“We just had my 60th birthday celebration at The Gables last weekend. The Gables is our “go-to” place for our yearly special occasions; Valentines Day, birthdays, anniversaries. My party was extraordinary! You really know how to throw a party! Every one of my guests loved it. They couldn’t believe the beauty of the venue; the gorgeous flowers outside and beautiful decor inside; the gourmet food and the lovely, lovely staff. Everyone had a great time. The owners are such lovely people. I also highly recommend La Fourchette who did amazing charcuterie platters for me, delivered to the Gables for me, that everyone enjoyed when they arrived at the party. I can’t express to you what a perfect day we had! Many thanks for all of your attention to detail and your complete excellence in every way! Can’t wait to come back in a few weeks!“

“We took friends to Dockside last night for their first visit- they loved it! They were very surprised with the entree selection- not what you would expect from a restaurant called "diner"! The food was delicious as always. The service was great even though we were there late, they never made us feel rushed. I highly recommend trying Dockside Diner!!!“

“5 ⭐️!! This was our first vist, I’m a real critic about food, this place is clean and the staff is very friendly and family like. Food was delicious! Definitely worth the visit and will be back.“

“We always have a great experience at Wally’s. The staff is wonderful and the food is fresh and tasty.“

“Great Staff, Fun atmosphere, Friendly Patrons, Great Food, Local Hang!“

“Great thanksgiving day meal today … food was fabulous… Kate our server was very attentive… thank you Lefty’s!!!“

“Kept driving by this place and finally got to try it out last week. As a Chicago native, I can tell you this is what I've been looking for the past 3 years of living here. The crust does not explode in your mouth like a bunch of tiny little splinters, it's softer and doughy. The ingredients and cheese are not skimped out on either, they are fresh ingredients and plentiful at that. The only thing I would change is more sauce, but I can do that myself next order on my own. Leftovers microwaved is a no go but air fried it's just like it came out of the oven all over again. In a Jersey full of Luigi's, pick Marios, you won't be disappointed. I suggest adding the wings into your order as well, best take out wings I've had from a pizza shop, super crispy breading and juicy interior.“

“Great expereince!! party of 9 for a 12 year old birthday lunch with friends!! staff was awesome. very attentive and accommodating!! 9 very happy customers“

“Love their food and friendly staff. One of our go to places on the Island!“

“We love all that Mainland has to offer! So much family fun, delicious food, and great atmosphere.“

“This place is second to none! Leah was our server and she was so helpful and had such a great attitude. The owner personally came out and spoke with us and had a few minute conversation, also watching him interact with the locals was amazing! My GF was stationed in Italy for 3 years and this is the closest she has had to authentic Italian food. Enjoy your trip back home to the owner and we will be back as soon as we can (Nebraska visitors)“

“I Enjoy The Merchant Market So Much“

“I've only been to this spot twice but I can tell you I LOVE IT! The menu is huge with plenty of options for everyone. Breakfast was great and the wings were fantastic. They had plenty of options for homemade wing sauces that were great, which you can also buy in a bottle on the way out. Overall great food and environment!“

“Great food & service by Kate💕“

“My worker reconnected this place to me today, he knows the owner well... was my first time there. Food was absolutely amazing, and the owner was a sweetheart, such a doll.... 😊“

“I tried to put another review on Google but since I just entered my first review on April 6th it would not let me submit another one. I was there again this past weekend with my daughter and we ordered the filet mignon and it was amazing!!!! Luke was our waiter on Saturday and he was excellent!!! Potstickers were great as well!!! When my daughter, grandson, girlfriend and others come down Element is certainly our go to place!!! Thank you everyone from the friendly greeting when you arrive to the amazing waiters and waitresses to the chefs and beyond! This restaurant runs like a “Swiss Watch” well done!!!“

“We ordered dinner last night, and it was great as usual!! Our food arrived quickly, and it was hot and delicious! We love Ray’s wings (hot and honey are our favorite) and pizza! My family has been ordering from Ray’s for over 5 years, and I don’t think we have ever had a bad meal… everything is consistently good! Ordering is easy and delivery is fast!!“

“Food is pretty consistent and decent. I've had better but also have had alot worse. For the price, it's worth it. Only downside to this place is you have to pick it up but I live close as heck so it's not a problem I have.

Vegetarian options: Decent amount of veggie options but obviously still not the best for someone on a diet, lol.

Parking: In front and decent amount, never really a full lot.“

“loyal customer for years but the order takers need to pay more attention to the orders over the phone.“

“Absolutely love the owners dearly J and Danielle are two of the sweetest people. Food is top-notch and atmosphere is excellent for dinner with the family.

Kid-friendliness: The owner Jay is super cool with the kids. Gave coloring book and crayons and actually sat and talked with them. It was awesome.“

“Food and staff are always impeccable! It’s been our go-to place for years! Highly recommended!“

“We have a great time when Chef prepares food as we the participants get to ask questions about products, recipes, etc! He makes the presentation fun and we always learn something new! Cinco de Mayo dishes were spectacular! Love this place!“

“Had the best experience tonight at dinner!! The food was great and being on the water never better. Our server Izzy made our night so positive and fun!! She was sweet and attentive and having a great server really makes the night special!!“

“GO HERE!!! IF YOU DO GO THOUGH…fair warning…the wings are so good but so hot that you better make sure to bring a friend that you could BLOW! Water, bread AND MILK did not even help my mouth heat, which is the ONLY reason I resorted to blowing my friend hahahahahah. Legit his appendage was the only thing that numbed the pain. 10/10 coming here again!“

“Great dinner with my husband. Lovely server!!“

“I recommend the service. I recommend the food. I recommend the atmosphere. I recommend EVERYTHING about this place... now back in the day (late 70's) my mom used to call it the "dirty diner" and I can tell you for certain, it is anything BUT. They keep this place clean and well maintained and it's a joy to visit. Solid diner food, you couldn't ask for better and decent prices along with people who treat you like you're there every morning for coffee and a roll. I still don't understand the Chili-Applebee-Friday set, the people who love their garbage chain 'food'... but here you get food that tastes like it was made by someone who really truly loves you... probably better than your mom's and it is always worth stopping. Please shop/eat/support real local business, it will always be worth it. In this case, you don't sacrifice ANYTHING for eating here, you get great food, you get treated like you belong and at a decent price, too.“

“Excellent clam chowder!! Fast service and friendly staff..“

“Great food ,great people“

“The most delicious pizza on Long Beach Island!!! In addition to great food, it's an incredible family run business with the most genuine, caring and hard working staff ever. You just don't come across businesses like this anymore - Slice of Heaven is truly extra special.“

“Consistently wonderful, a quintessential LBI restaurant. A favorite meal is the prime rib, always done to perfection.“

“The best quesadillas and tacos we’ve had in a very long time. Fabulous everything!“

“Absolutely Amazing!! We just had the most beautiful event at Bird and Betty’s! The staff was remarkable! They were attentive to our every need. The process of having this party from beginning to end was seamless with the help of Brie, the coordinator and her staff. The food and drinks exceeded our expectations!! The attention to details were on point! Thank you Bird and Betty’s for making our future bride’s dreams come true!! 🤍“
