Diners near Maurice River

“Family and I had dinner here tonight. Preface: I’m a chef, and always looking to give a good tip but also constantly scanning and processing everything going on during dinner. To start, we’re a bit of a challenge with twin 3 year olds and a 6 month old, had just left the beach after a full day of going wild and everyone was tired. Server, whose name I am unhappy with myself for letting slip my mind, was incredible. She was timely, not bothering us but checking in just enough, talking to the kids and interacting with them when they spoke to her, great eye contact, smile never left her face, she was knowledgeable and super helpful. Manager was present at the front, very warm and welcoming, seated us and had some interaction with our son at the end of the night (everyone else went to the car), great personality, place was just awesome. Food was great diner classics, turned up a notch. Everything was hot, fresh, exactly as it should be with flavor and consistency. Meatloaf was perfectly seared and not soggy, mashed potatoes were beautiful, not wet or messy but not dry either. Chicken parm, chicken croquettes and apps all exceeded expectations. I told the server we were getting the croquettes for the kids because they seemed extra hungry, she took the initiative to have them split onto separate plates with easily a full serving of mashed potatoes and gravy each. We honestly have driven by here 50 times or more heading to the shore every spring and summer, always meant to look them up or stop and never got around to it, and now kicking myself for not doing it sooner. We can not wait to go back.“
