No matter how busy it is, she greets you with a smile snd kindness., and goes on her hard working way!!! (Her brothers are also kind and hard working). Fun atmosphere, great food ( love the wings! ) good music, great TV’s for sporting events! Thank you for a great local place!!“

“This place has it all ! Great service even from the minute you walk in you feel welcome there. Apple Crack Cocktail is wildly tasty ! Bourbon Slushy excellent except for the brain freeze. Chicken HandPie was quite unique. Flaky light and tasty. The French Dip Sandwich was done perfectly bread had the perfect crust yet still soft inside. Steak cooked perfectly. Now the GUMBO !!!!! Just insane with flavor and depth. Robust, rich full of flavor. Every bite was a different taste whether it was the crab,shrimp, sausage or crayfish . All around an excellent place. So glad we came out tonight ! Thank you !“

“Had a delightful experience at Brielle House Bar & Grill. Very impressed with the menu and execution of all the dishes that we ordered. We were lucky to score an oversized booth, which was cozy. Nice pour on the wine. The place is spotless, elevated, but not at all stuffy. Staff made us feel so welcome. I am truly confused about the motive of a prior review I read on here. It cannot be the same place that we just enjoyed so much.“

“We had gone to Woodys for years and recently started visiting more frequently. Really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is good. The holiday decor is a whole vibe—the owners and staff really went all out to provide a warm, inviting experience for their customers. We are always greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. I always enjoy the time spent at Woodys, whether with friends or family. The seating options are many as the heated outdoor area is available all year long. Good food+great service+awesome ambiance=a fantastic experience.“

“Great atmosphere for sure. 3 different bars to choose from. Stopped by for a quick bite after a long day of travel because it was walking distance, but the food was just okay. The effort is definitely not there food wise, but it's my first trip to the Shore, so I can't really compare it to any other food spots. At $20 bucks a head for food, it's too expensive for what you get.“

“A great restaurant that does have similarities to River Rock“

“The food and service were excellent. Don’t skip the grilled wings—they’re the best we’ve ever had! I had the blackened chicken Caesar wrap, and it was seasoned perfectly. Everything was fresh and super tasty. We regret not coming here sooner!“

“The AP Rooftop is hands-down one of the best dining experiences in New Jersey. Let’s start with the AP Burger it’s the star of the show. Melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor, it just might be the most delicious burger you’ll find anywhere in NJ. Every appetizer we tried was absolutely incredible—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and downright delicious. You honestly can’t go wrong with any choice on the menu. Cocktails are solid and on par with what you’d expect from most shore spots—well made, refreshing, and a great complement to the meal. But it’s the food and service that truly shine here. Attentive staff, a welcoming vibe, and top-tier flavors make this rooftop spot a must-visit. Highly recommend. We’ll be back again and again.“

“Great little place. Food is excellent, waitresses are so nice. Very relaxing and enjoyable!“

Super super fun and the cocktails were well made . Run don’t walk to Low Dive . If you are fortunate enough to be around on a Sunday night do not miss Boardwalk Boogie it’s a real good time !“

We are already planning to come back in purpose!“

“I just had the best Cheeseburger that ever had at the Bond Street Bar and Grill that is tucked away and almost hidden on 208 Bond Street in Asbury Park, NJ. The It is a small bar and grill with a dark almost mystical ambiance on a small one-way street. The bar has a warm and welcoming personality featuring great food, good vibes, friendly staff all in an inviting space of a classic pub atmosphere.“

“Went to Jack's to see CatNip Live Music who were incredible! The food and staff were great. Great live music venue with a cool vibe!“

“We went to Brickhouse today and had Brooke as our waitress she was awesome! We had the chili nachos and pretzel for appetizers they were huge and really good! The beer is always ice cold and no matter what you order the food is always great especially the cheesesteak! Highly recommend brickhouse in Neptune Nj“

“I love this place. Great food, people, clean, friendly. Good vibe. Good music.“

“Just stopped in for happy hour and had a mango crush and their shot of the week (passion fruit lemon drop). The drink was delicious and super sweet and yummy. The shot came in a church communion cup, given that it’s more of a mixed drink than a shot, for $5 it’s not really worth it.
Other than that, it’s right on the boardwalk and the vibes there were great.“
