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.

I arrived at Maurice River’s Diner at 9:15 PM, 30 minutes before their posted closing time, after a long evening playing sax at a gig. I was starving and looking forward to trying their salmon. However, when I walked in, I was told that the cook had already left and they couldn’t serve me. If the kitchen closes early, that should be made clear. Very disappointing experience.

I AM VERY DISAPOINTED IN THIS DINER SINCE THE OLD OWNER LEFT YOU CAN SEE N TASTE THE DIFFERENCE IN FOOD. BUT I THINK WHAT MAKES ME MAD IS ASKING US OVER N OVER WAS EVERYTHING GOOD? THE FOOD WAS DIFFERENT TODAY THE QUALITY N QUANTITY WAS NOT THERE. WAITRESS COULD CARE LESS INSTEAD OF CALLING OVER A MGR. OR LETTING THE COOK KNOW SHE KEPT SAYING SORRY. WHY ASK THEN. WE HAD A TERRIBLE BREAKFAST THE FOOD WAS COLD. EVEN THE COUPLE IN FRONT OF US COMPLAINED ABOUT THEIR EGGS. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE THE SAME COOK BUT I SAY NO THEY DON'T NO WAY. THE PORTIONS ARE SMALLER N THE PRICES HAVE GONE WAY UP. WHEN I PAY A HIGHER PRICE N GET LESS FOOD N BAD FOOD I HAVE ISSUE WITH THAT. SO I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK UNTIL THE PLACE GETS BETTER. ITS NOT AS CLEAN N THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE FRESH PIZZELLES STALE N THEY WANT ALMOST $10. FOR THEM NOW. GOOD LUCK GETTING DECENT FOOD. WON'T BE BACK SORRY.

The food was good, and the menu had a wide range of options. Food came out quickly and was reasonably priced. The wait staff was numerous, attentive, professional, and friendly.
The biggest issue was the sheer number of flies and gnats. I understand the occasional fly, but gnatts!? I spent most of my visit swatting flies and gnatts away. I'm not sure where the gnatts came from, but it's not a good sign.
While the dining area was in good shape and clean, the bathrooms were small, not the cleanest, and almost falling apart. It was completely the opposite of the dining area. It just felt "off."
Parking: Some paved parking, and a good amount (overflow?) In an unpaved lot. Poor lighting in lot.
Wheelchair accessibility: Good access throughout. Wide open spaces.
