“Our family had the most excellent meal today. Our server Melody was absolutely incredible. Her attentiveness, kindness and speed were impeccable. It was our joy to be in her presence as her service was one of the best experiences we have had at a restaurant. Thank you Melody for the way you care for your customers.“
“We love coming to Stingers. We live about 35 minutes away, but it's worth the drive! My children always ask if we can come again every time. The food is amazing! Everything we tasted was always well made and tasty. Portions are large, and the atmosphere is upbeat. 10/10 recomend for families.“
“KEANSBURG: Brie checked out Grin Brewing and leashed dogs are allowed at their beautiful indoor tasting room and back outdoor deck! There are a nice variety of beers, including a lot of lighter options which Brie's pawrents enjoy! You may also BYO food! The Mutt Market sells their pet treats, so your dog can munch on something with you. Check out Grin's social media for trivia nights, food drives, toys for tots, and other events. Their location is great because just a few feet away out back is the Henry Hudson Trail, a nice path to walk your doggy!“
“I really like this spot. I’m a long haul trucker, and I come here specifically for one bartender, because she’s so welcoming, kind, attentive, and helpful. She came outside to get me while I was smoking because she didn’t want my food to get cold! Now that’s good service! Truly good at what she does. Also doesn’t hurt that she’s very easy in the eyes. Will definitely be back! Sky you’re awesome!Parking: Can park a semi in the lot next door. Most don’t care, but my OTR people do.“
“Goal line wings... Enough said! Oversized chicken wings, marinated in Frank's Red Hot sauce overnight then dredged in the tastiest batter and deep fried to perfection!!! Pizza, steak bites, wraps, sandwiches... everything is great! They have an awesome Sunday brunch as well with an amazing French Mimosa!!! They offer a weekly specials menu, are open late and do takeout as well! Everything is delicious! This is a downtown Long Branch staple and a great place to watch the game!!! But beware, it's far from fancy and gets pretty loud on any given game day!“
“Literally my favorite place in town. A basic bar with well priced drinks, great bartenders, and a great customer base. The regulars are a welcoming lot and Bingo Fridays are fun! Beer pong, a dart board and a touch tunes juke keep the vibe up. Whether you just want a simple drink at the bar or an epic night of fun you're gonna find it at Smith's!“
“I’m not even done eating and I have to post a review. The food is amazing, cooked like a high end restaurant. The staff are extremely nice and very attentive. I had the Fiesta Burger, medium rare and it was cooked PERFECT. This place is a staple.“
“i went here today and my server rosa was immaculate. she was so nice and gave us a lot of time to order. it was a big group of us, all young so we took a while and she was very patient. 10/10 i would come here again. Ask for rosa she's the nicest !!“
“Fun bar with decent parking on the outsideIf you show up during the day they also offer a good selection of dishes that the chef picks out everydayMost of the music is Brazilian and they even fly in a couple of artists straight from BrazilIn terms of crowd this place gets packed usually Friday or Saturday nights and it’s a equal mix of newer and older peopleGreat place to visit during a night out by the beach in longbranchWheelchair accessibility: The entrance has a ramp for wheel chairs“
“Ate here today for the 1st time, sat at the bar and were served by two very friendly and attentive bartenders. Ordered the skirt steak with rice and fries, it was fantastic! Atmosphere was great, very clean, a lot of TVs, and club music in the background. If you enjoy traditional Portuguese & Brazilian food, you most definitely want to try this place. Prices are very fair compared to similar restaurants. Can’t wait to go back!!!“
“Apple Jacks is great. The owner John fixed me and hubby up back in 1987. The bar is really fun and they don't only have parties they have parties for the kids to. When my kids were little they had a big party and put a jumping blow up thing in the parking lot for the kids and they also got Ralph the other owner dress up as Santa Clause and have the kids sit on his lap and get presents.“
“I have been going there for 40 years now. Always great delicious food as well as, a whole page of specials. The specials are always different. Their burgers are grilled in the center of the bar. They also have a delicious cheddar cheese that they pour over there hamburgers. The house salad with the house dressing is always a winner. Lettuce, egg, little shrimp, with the house dressing! I always loved the crab Melt aways! you cannot make a reservation, there is always a wait for dinner. get there at 11:30 for lunch, it fills up fast! Lunch specials come with a soup or a salad. Recently, renovated, outside area as well. With, it’s about time, new bathrooms!Vegetarian options: There’s so many vegetarian options, especially with all of their specials.Dietary restrictions: If you need something they will accommodate you.Parking: They have handicap on the side of the building, as well as in the back of the building, which is the entrance.Kid-friendliness: Brought my kids, since they were very little. They’re in their 30s now.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is on the first floor.“
“Ok, so it starts with the fun name and go!!! We had Shwarma Wings ... WOW! Triple fried and crispy! And their Bloody Marys are made from a home-made mix and are EXCELLENT! The bartenders are super friendly and engaging. We loved it and can't wait to go back!“
“I love the food. Everything I've had has been awesome.. there Calamari is awesome.. and if you like loaded fries try them here. You will be okay. Drinks are great and they have a good selection of liquors. It is in Colts Neck so be prepared for some price differences but this place is awesome.Parking: On the left and right if establishment, handicap parking available“
“I'm there all time I love the place and the employees and I mean all of em .. from the security guys Jim, Jim and Daryll to all the tellers Angelo, Mike , Mike, Anthony , Joe , Zack, Diane , Q, Paul ,Adam and John .. if I missed any names I apologize but I really mean it this place is great and I love that it is so close... Definitely check it out but show some respect when there... see you there ,Joe "rocky"“
“A well stocked liquor store with a cozy bar. I stopped by to pick up some wine for a house party and the owner John was very helpful with assisting me with the wine selections. I decided to have a Guinness at the bar and Coleen the bartender was very pleasant and accommodating. I highly recommend this establishment. Very clean, very friendly staff and customers. I'll be back.“
“The food was really good. But the service wasn't that good. It felt like our server where we sat in the bar area forgot about us. We waited 20 minutes when we got to our seats for her to come back and get our order. Then we saw her 1 time after that. Maybe it was a fluke but first impressions are very important.“
“I went her for dinner on a Saturday night with my teen after a lacrosse event at Capelli Sports Complex. We were seated immediately at 6:30. Service was excellent. There were a few generally popular beers on tap - I had the Sam Adam's Winter Lager. We started with mozzarella sticks. Then, we both ordered burgers and fries. Everything was really good. My teen said that he liked his burger better than our regular burger joint at home (!). There were lots of TVs available but it was a not loud or crazy, even on a Saturday night. Great spot!“
“Poole Ave Bar is our spot. We stop by twice a week for some food and drinks, but most of all the laughs from the characters that frequent the bar. And, there are some characters... but it's what makes this spot enjoyable. It's a townie bar where everyone ends up knowing your name. Everyone is super friendly, including the staff. Food is decent.“
“I go to Applebee's to watch the NFL on Sundays.. Manager Meredith is very accommodating with respect to directing me to the table where my beloved Rams will be featured on the big screen..My bartender/ waitress- Sanai- is an absolute delight and treats me like a king (I'm so grateful for her attention and conscientiousness)..Thus far, I've only ordered beef nachos. But they are consistently well-prepared and delicious..Thanks to all at the Tinton Falls Applebee's for making me so comfortable and content.“
“Took a risk trying this restaurant for the first time to celebrate my son’s baptism tonight but wow we had a great experience! The food was amazing and we loved the relaxed atmosphere. Everyone that helped serve us was awesome but I wanted to especially shout out our main server because i loved her!! She was so sweet, attentive, and radiates such good energy! I wish i got her name but she was young with brown hair. We will def be returning! Thank you“
“Dinner before show. Waiter, Tyree, was very helpful, considerate, and very aware that we had to leave early for a show. Party of 8 people, all orders accurately taken and well presented. Sadly, did not have time for dessert but will go back another time. Great atmosphere in restaurant section & had a sports bar section as well. Like I said, will be back when I can.“
“It is a nice place to go with your family. The staff are attentive. Their pizzas are thin crust but they are very good. We had burgers, wings, calamari and fries and they were great. It is definitely a place I go to anytime I am around the area.“
“Went here yesterday to watch football and have a Burger and a couple of beers and this place is perfect for that. They emphasize local craft beer from different area breweries so you get to try a good sampling! My burger was outstanding but, it may not be to everyone’s taste! Very chill atmosphere I’ll be back. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is that I believe they need to expand the menu. Perfect venue for open mic night!“
“I had lunch with an old friend. Haven't been there in a while and apparently the menu had changed considerably. The food was good but no filet mignon was offered...my favorite. Still a good place for a meal and a beer or two. I would recommend it. The prices were very reasonable. Check it out! Quick Note: I don't give 5 stars easily. If the service / food is that good, everyone should be aware.“
“Baseline Social is an incredible place! I’ve been to Baseline a few times and have had a great time so I’m having my birthday celebration there this weekend. Ivy has been great to work with and as flexible as possible to accommodate my parties needs.Parking: Parking is plentiful but it isn’t very easy to find. I found it easiest to get there from the Main St in Oceanport.“
“Come here quite often for alcohol, they have a great selection for a small spot. Recently, I finally went there for a meal and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Staff was pleasant and quick with service. The only issue is the place is rather small and tables are limited.“
