“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!“

“Living in Point Pleasant means having an endless lineup of incredible coastal spots right in our backyard, but Red’s Lobster Pot is the one place I will never stop raving about.
It completely captures that old-school, local fishing village charm. Sitting on the deck right along the Manasquan Inlet while the boats come in sets a scene that you just can’t replicate. It’s laid-back, welcoming, and feels like quintessential Point Pleasant.
The food level here is unmatched. You can taste the absolute freshness in every dish—it’s pure dock-to-table quality. Whether you’re diving into a steamed lobster or whatever special they’ve pulled in that day (my personal go-to order), the kitchen lets the quality of the seafood shine without overcomplicating things.
What truly sets Red’s apart, though, is the team. The service is consistently sharp, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. In a town packed with great dining, Red's is the one spot that simply gets it right every single time.“
