“What a great time! I'm not sure why some reviews say ride staff. I didn't see that at all. Tables are a little toght but not that bad. Service was exceptional and they have a TON of gluten free food. Save room for dessert. Only thing is go early or you'll be waiting even though you have reservations and BYOB. Can't wait to go back!”

“Our family went for my wife’s birthday, from start to finish what a great experience. Our waiter was great, the food was fantastic. Portions are huge. Honestly very fairly priced.

“I've passed this place hundreds of times, today I stopped in and boy am i glad I did, they treated me like I've been a customer for years. I got a half sub ham Genoa salami cappicola provolone. Started talking to Nick found out the bread comes from Staten Island those of you who know know! Every one of these guys were nice joking around a little all while being super busy, needless to say the sub was probaly the best I've ever had.I'm 59 and have eaten way more subs/heros than i care to mention. Needless to say I'll be back again and again. Thanks to Nick and all the guys!”

“Now this is a way better and more AWESOME!!! ice cream truck service, safety updated with an electric swing arm stop sign like on school buses which is extremely AWESOME , safe, clear, and recognizable because octagon means STOP whereas sideways trapezoid with rounded corners on the wide end and pointed corners on the narrow end means SLOW unlike some other ice cream truck services that still have the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is confusing.”

“We only love two ice cream places. Sundaes is one of them. Great product and service always.”

“As someone who is both vegan and gluten free, this place was like heaven on earth. They labeled everything so clearly and had such a wide variety of options of baked goods. Rivals the famous Vegan Treats bakery of Bethlehem, PA. I only wish that they had more savory offerings.”

“I recently visited Seawatch Coffee and Market, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere enveloped me in warmth and charm. The cozy, nautical-inspired decor, with its soft lighting and comfortable seating, creates a welcoming vibe that feels like a home away from home. The service is nothing short of exceptional. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and made me feel like a valued guest from the start. They were attentive without being overbearing, quick to offer recommendations, and clearly passionate about what they do. The owner deserves special praise for setting the tone of this gem. Their warmth and dedication shine through in every detail, from the carefully curated menu to the inviting atmosphere. You can tell they pour their heart into what they do. This is a place where quality and care come together beautifully—I can’t wait to return!”

“Spicy Garden is a great restaurant for authentic Thai cuisine. We’ve had takeout several times and the food has consistently been very delicious every time. Our favorite dish is pad kee maw chicken and our boys love the Thai fried rice. The appetizers are amazing, especially the potstickers and chicken satay. The owner is always super friendly, too! Highly recommend Spicy Garden! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I tried a quick lunch at Surf Tacos in Manasquan. Cool place, clean with a beachy vibe and interior. Service was prompt, which is always good. I ordered the $15 plate with 2 tacos, chips, beans, rice, and a drink that is a substantial meal. Opted for a Mahi and a Surf (breaded cod) taco to mix it up. They have a nice salsa bar, and I tried a little of them all. Drink offers soda or a tea dispenser.
The Cod taco was heavily breaded and not very tasty. Salsa helped. The Mahi was blackened and offered plenty of taste. I'd order it again.
Overall, I was pleased with this taco combo as a lunch option. Service and restaurant were nice, I'll visit again.”
