“The Bomber Sandwich is tremendous. Have known the owners for years. Always great 👍 food 🥘”

“Ordered a bacon egg and cheese. How come the kitchen doesn’t do salt pepper ketchup? Excellent sandwich. But if I’m expected to sit there, open up the bun, and use those tiny little salt, pepper and ketchup packets myself then I will not be coming back.

Genuinely great food and staff. But what type of policy is this? In my multiple decades of being alive, not once have I come across this situation. Every other deli/bagel place knows the SPK drill.

Hopefully this review gets in front of the right people.”

“Good food, great service! Stop in and say hello.”

“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.”

“Great dinner as response service class act! Loved appetizers and filet and shrimp special excellent”

“great food great service great ambiance ....I'll be back”

“My wife and I had a wonderful lunch at Prime 13. The steaks were cooked perfectly and a very nice size for a lunch entree. Looking forward to going back for dinner. The tomahawk steaks looked absolutely delicious. After lunch we walked across the street to their butcher shop and purchased an incredible double cut pork chop. Just cooked that on my grill and it was fantastic!”

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Loft Steakhouse last night! We came with a group of 12 and rented the private room. Everything was outstanding, from the appetizers to the steaks. The food was incredible across the board!

A special shoutout to Moishy, the manager, who was next-level accommodating. His hospitality, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond made the entire evening that much better.

Amazing food, incredible service, and a great experience all around. Highly recommend The Loft! We’ll definitely be back!”

“Best baby grilled chicken ever.”

“Great place, location and atmosphere”

“Absolutely delicious. One of the best lobster risotto and stuffed shrimp entrees I have ever had. & The calamari appetizer was mouth watering! The staff is so kind— the waitress Marchella is HILARIOUS and very attentive. Don’t walk… RUN to Dina’s.”

“Jennifer was fantastic! She is very friendly and knowledgeable about the restaurant. She went over all the new menu items. I ordered a special drink and she went out of her way to see if the bar had the ingredients to make it. She paid a lot of attention to us as appropriate. We appreciated her thoughtfulness and great service. PF Chang has fabulous food we loved everything.”

“Ate here (Wall)on Feb 15, got the Hornets Nest, awesome! Corn bread and honey butter awesome! Getting the banana pudding to go. Will definitely come back. Girl at the front was friendly and helpful, all I could ask for. That's important to me because at Dave's hot chicken they act like the customer is annoying. Screw Dave's, this is My new place!”

“Smores ice cream was 10/10 and Patrick had great customer service 🍦”

“Amazing food, great service, it’s truly wonderful what this kitchen does for the community.”

“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!”

“The food and service was amazing!! Went there for Valentine’s Day and had a great experience! Definitely will be back!”

“Everything about tomahawk steakhouse was amazing.. I was there two nights in a row and couldn't ask for better food, service and ambience. It was the best way to celebrate my daughter's birthday and coming from my family who owns the best Italian restaurants this was outstanding. 10 out of 10.”

“Thank you for the stellar customer service today with my order, Playa Bowls 👌🏻”

“I wanted to check this out, based on some reviews and photos that looked legit. I was heading to the beach, so it was a good lunch to have beforehand. I thought it was very good. The pizza was crispy, tasty and w/ good cheese, well balanced. I was very glad I tried it. I highly recommend. PS: I'm a pizza snob. Lol.”

“I'm extremely picky when it comes to pizza. There aren't many places that impress me. This is one that does--definitely one of the best pizzerias in the state, if not *the* best. Small menu, but everything is terrific, especially the salads, the homemade bread, meatballs, and the "plain" pie. They even add fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan to the pizza before serving. Crust is perfection. Eat there. Don't ruin this perfection by putting it in a box. Great vibe, fantastic staff.”

“Yet another reason why 502 Bakery is my bakery of choice. Woke-up Saturday morning (4/12/2025) craving crumb coffee cake. Arrived at 502 Bakery a few minutes before 9AM, but when I approached the door the sign said, "Sorry We're Closed!" I did not realize they opened at 9:30AM. So I went back to my vehicle to wait 30-minutes until they officially opened. LOL... Wait?! Yes, the crumb cake is that good! Not more than 2-minutes later, I looked back from my vehicle to see the neon 'OPEN' sign on! Rather than having a customer wait they chose to open early. 502 Bakery's customer service matches the quality of their product. Thanks 502 team! See you again soon. Gerald S.”

“Wow The best Italian restaurant at the jersey shore if you go Friday or Saturday you better get a reservation I would suggest you get one during the week also to be safe. Byob food and atmosphere are outstanding and the hostess waitresses and owner are so nice they make you feel like you were invited to their home for Sunday dinner with the family.”
