Outrageously I was mistakenly charged over $800 on my credit card at which time I was told that that had been cancelled immediately. Nonetheless I was charged that amount on my credit card and I have had no response to my emails or phone calls regarding this. This is an disreputable business establishment that I will report to the better business bureau! Cheryl Anne, presumably the owner, has essentially stolen my money. DO NOT FREQUENT THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!

Best pancakes ever!! Try the mcmike breakfast sandwich! You can't beat the view and the food is just as good. The fish tacos are divine!!

Best fish tacos I’ve ever had. The sauce is amazing!

The food was ok but a bit overpriced for the quality. The owner’s attitude though (or whoever he is) was plain rude. Made me want to turn around and leave but we were starving and the place across the street had already closed their kitchen. If you have time, go have lunch somewhere else, this place leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Fish taco was the worst I've ever had. No sauce provided, bland as all hell. Was a frozen filet with grocery store salad kit mix on top. Disgusting. Forgot to add the chips were stale :)

I’ve never had breakfast at the Riverside Cafe - my boyfriend and I have had lunch there often but he spotted a menu item he knew I’d like. He’s a pork roll guy, but knew the California Egg- Mike- named after the owner- was right upMy alley. It was a work of art- a large, toasted English muffin topped with fluffy scrambled eggs, perfect sliced avocado, a ripe slice of summer tomato and American cheese. It was the kind of breakfast I’d been looking for. My boyfriend had large buttermilk pancakes with juicy blueberries. The location is wonderful- we sat under a palm tree and watched the boats go by on the inlet. The service is quick and friendly, thanks to the owners of an establishment that has been in Manasquan for almost 60 years. Another Riverside meal that I’ll happily be back for!

Doesn’t look like much when you walk by this establishment and let me tell you it doesn’t get better when you walk-in. The place smells like a litter box and operates like one too. You are greeted by an exasperated Italian man who lacks professionalism and charisma. The menu look deeps but I promise its shallow. The location seems promising but the experience will have you wishing you walked across the street

A cute little Cafe along the inlet. I have yet to get their food, I normally just pop in when fishing for grab and go but I like in there.Kid-friendliness: A few outside tables, great for a small familyWheelchair accessibility: It’s a small space, but all street level

Hands down the best fish tacos and I'm a foodie. We love comming to Riverside Cafe ! The atmosphere is so relaxing watching the boats at the inlet and people watching. Always a consistent good time !! A must go to spot in Manasquan .
We brought our Puppy and the first thing the Nicest woman behind the counter did is give her a treat and a bowl of water. We had the fish tacos, they were delicious and a Mango Smoothie, which was great. Our puppy had a " doggie Bag" which included Food, 2 treat bags, a Ball and even a poopie bag. She loved it. This is a casual, Order at the counter place but perfect for a Sunday afternoon, watching the boats and just relaxing in the sun.

This place is amazing! Came here for breakfast before heading to the beach. Had an egg and cheese sandwich. It was so fresh and just delicious! My friend had pancakes and said they were some of the best she’s ever had! Definitely recommend coming here! Friendly service and great atmosphere also!

Visiting our son, he suggested Riverside Cafe for fish tacos, and are we glad he did. Some of the best fish tacos we’ve had. Hope we can back here again before we head home!

Fish tacos were terrific! Clearly home made, flavor was delicious, fish was fresh, tender and flavorful, we'll be back!

Best bacon egg and cheese and Taylor ham egg and cheese around. Bacon and Taylor ham are perfectly crispy without being over done and the eggs are perfectly done, slightly runny. The staff are lovely and it’s such a great spot to come for breakfast and watch the boats in the inlet. Oh! Make sure you try the iced coffee too!
