“The breakfast is excellent at the Riverside Cafe . Their pancakes are among the best I have ever had with great texture and flavor, (no need for syrup). I also liked their egg sandwiches and homemade hash browns. Looking forward to trying more food from here. It is nice to have friendly service while enjoying the view of the boats as they move through the inlet.“

“I visited the Peach Pit Cafe in Manasquan for breakfast and had a really good experience overall. It is a nice little spot, and we were seated right away by the friendly staff. Just a heads up on parking—it can be a bit difficult with the street parking, but there are some spots available in the back.

They have a fantastic breakfast menu with lots of delicious items to choose from. I ordered the basic eggs over-easy with fried potatoes, rye toast, and a side of bacon. The coffee tasted good, and all of my food was cooked perfectly.

My only real disappointment was the bottomless coffee. Unfortunately, our server never came back to our table to offer us drink refills. That aside, it is still a great local place, and I would definitely recommend checking it out!“

“We have been going to HW in Manasquan for many many years, they never disappoint. I was in Robbinsville and thought why not have lunch at their new location there. I was very and thoroughly impressed. The ambiance is very cool and a great vibe. How they pulled off a mix cozy with a sports bar atmosphere is impressive. The service was great. Lila our server, was attentive and pleasant. The menu is deep but not too confusing. Steaks, Sandwiches, Seafood, they offer a wide variety for anyone taste. Our food was delicious. It's a hidden gem. I would recommend you get there and experience it for yourself before word gets out. Otherwise you will need reservations. Parking is abundant with reserved spaces for HW. Good stuff!“
