New American Restaurants near Neptune City, NJ

“This is a hidden Gem and is the best sushi around in Belmar area. Better than Rice and Taka combined... Sunsets here are magic and the band music is EXTRA loud.. brings the kinda crowd we like. Not the Pinot Noir Jet set crowd but the locals that fish and get down and dirt. Best outdoor fun scene. This place is a twilight zone and easy to lose a few hours at . Food is ALWAYS GREAT!!!!“

We were looking for a fresh take on breakfast, out, and when we did the Google thing...up popped this eatery.Read many of the glowing reviews and headed over to try it for ourselves. Glad we did. Coupled with great food and super pleasant staff, the atmosphere has that 1950s and '60s eclectic shore coolness.Go there! If not today then go soon.“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“I always order the Joey sandwich because it is always delicious. I love the ambiance. It is small but that is why I love that they take reservations. I have been in the past only for lunch and will say I have really enjoyed both times of day. Perfect place for a summer evening especially.“

“We finally made it into Klein’s and it did not disappoint. We sat outside in the water and enjoyed a delicious meal. The fish was so fresh and the serving sizes were very large. The Ahi bites appetizer was absolutely amazing and the halibut was the not only delicious but quite a large piece of fish. Lastly, the fish tacos were a favorite. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.“

“My sister from Dallas & I ate there 3 times out of 6 nights- fabulous food!“

“Ordered the beef, chicken and Jersey shore empanadas. Everything was made fresh. Nicely sized and proportioned. The only thing I would recommend is adding seasoning to their food. All of them were bland and had no flavor or seasoning. The cheese didn’t even have flavor. Some seasoning would be a game changer for them.“

“We had gone to Woodys for years and recently started visiting more frequently. Really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is good. The holiday decor is a whole vibe—the owners and staff really went all out to provide a warm, inviting experience for their customers. We are always greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. I always enjoy the time spent at Woodys, whether with friends or family. The seating options are many as the heated outdoor area is available all year long. Good food+great service+awesome ambiance=a fantastic experience.“

The staff is amazing and so friendly and attentive towards all of their customers, knowing most on a first name basis. If your in the Long Branch area i highly recommend checking this place out, you won’t regret it!!

Vegetarian options: Everything here is vegetarian and amazing! I definitely recommend trying the Famous Impossible Burger

Kid-friendliness: Best Kid Menu around out of the kosher restaurants. Always has kids channels on TV

Parking: A huge variety of parking at the Elbron Train Station and infront of the restaurant

Dietary restrictions: So many good diet options like the salads and impossible burgers !“

“Meighan and her team of Main Street Kitchen were absolutely amazing. She was the caterer for my daughter's wedding in October. It was an outdoor wedding at our home. She came to our house a few times to meet the tent folks. She made suggestions regarding placements for tables, dance floor, lighting ets. We selected Main Street Kitchen after reading reviews from our local town facebook group. Her food was special, thoughtful and most importantly, delicious. We had about 120 people. She came with an hard working staff who was amazing. We used Love Your Flower in Manasquan and Spirit of Alcohol. For music we used DJ Electra and she was just awesome! Thank you Meighan!“

“Ate here with my family after a day at the beach. We were a loud hungry bunch and the pizza did not disappoint. The pizza was hot and very fresh and the sauce was delicious. It was not greasy and the crust was just the right amount of crunchy. We will definitely be back!! Highly recommend!!!“

“So good! I love the Gyro, they let me order just a few slices and the service is amazing. I often only have cash and they don't make me use door dash ect. Definitely calling tomorrow and ripping even better. It's just Good ?

Kid-friendliness: Mac and cheese rocks.“

“Cannot say enough good things about this place! The food was delicious and service was top notch. We sat outside with my dog, Champ, and they treated him like a king! The chef personally came out and asked if he could make him some bacon and then also brought him out a huge bone! Such great vibes. 10/10!!“

“Good food , great beer selection, great service .“
