“I like the Pub“

“Great laid back atmosphere for fun drinks and live music. BUT people need to clean up after themselves and staff needs to wipe tables down in between customers. Over the weekend there was trash all over the sand and sticky tables.“

“thanks to the polite waitress and manager that took care of us last night... have a few too many Doms. They are the best and really hot the spot if you're looking to get a buzz... After our night of getting smashed we got cut off, and manager even gave us a ride to the hotel across the street. so thanks again for taking the time to truly care about your patrons....“

“Love SS House great ambiance great drinks perfect hang in the spring and summer“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! Keep your families AWAY from this place! Seeing a giant poster mounted on the side of your establishment that's this graphic, showing a decapitated sea turtle isn't something my child or any other children need to see while enjoying a beautiful day on the boardwalk in Seaside. Absolutely horrible!“

“We heard about Castaways from some friends and had to give it a try. The drinks were a little expensive but maybe because we had several and it added up. The food was better than good and my wife commented that the fish was cooked perfectly. Our waitress was prompt and courteous. It was a good time and that’s what we look for during the winter.“

“We went to masons, pretty much right before they closed on a Saturday (1am), and Jeremiah treated us (and everyone else) like we were royalty. He was kind, responsive, entertaining, and pretty much made my bad night considerably better. It was the first time we had been to the bar and will definitely not be the last, for us or our friends. We are officially sold <3“

“The food, Service, and atmosphere were all excellent. The fresh brewed tea is spot on. The Firecracker sauce is Devine and you can't go wrong with the wedge salad. Not a bad thing I can say from my experience.“

“I just wanted to reach out & thank your staff on duty from Friday 8/18 Especially Rod/Ron the Manager (my apologies I don't remember his name exactly) for outstanding customer service! We were at the restaurant Friday evening. It was the last night of our family Seaside Vacation and our first time dining at The Sawmill. We were seated promptly(young hostess with curly hair and an air cast), drinks & food orders were taken very quickly(female server with dark curly hair and an accent). Our beverages came out in a flash, and our appetizers were moments behind. When my teenage son reached across for some tasty pretzel bites...he knocked his full orange soda into his lap (and shirt) , onto the floor, & even onto me! We sent him to the restroom to try and clean himself up while we motioned for help, we didn't want anyone to slip on the wet floor! Within seconds your staff responded in the best possible way. Your manager was mopping up the floor, our server was bringing a replacement soda, one of the ladies bussing tables hustled over with towels. By the time my son returned from the restroom my husband and I were discussing how to proceed (Run back to the house to change or by new clothes on the boardwalk) when Rod/Ron appeared on bended knee next to my son with Sawmill t-shirts in tow asking his size so he could change his shirt. My son initially refused because; it was "all his fault & he didn't deserve it" but; Rod/Ron persisted and convinced my son that these kinds of things happen to everyone. A point I was just making to my child, when my son heard this he accepted. The way your staff responded in the moment took what could have been an awful end to our vacation into a very bright spot because of how attentive and supportive your staff was. It means more than you will ever know. Please take a moment & thank your staffers on our behalf. Thank you, Monica, Andy, & AJ Mossey“

“Came on New Years Eve. Servers were very friendly and attentive and Brianna handled our large party very well. Food was quite good for a chain restaurant and prices are reasonable, portion sizes a bit too big for me! My only critique is reaching the service staff to clear dishes between courses - with appetizers, entrees and desserts it becomes a real mess!“

“The food is delicious 😋 The delicious food, the atmosphere and polite waitresses.“

“TOMS RIVER: We are happy a local told us about Christopher's Pub & Grill Toms River because it is the type of bar where everybody knows your name. More than just a hotel bar at the Howard Johnson by Wyndham Toms River, Christopher’s is a great spot to meet up with friends, enjoy a friendly environment, indulge in a meal from an American-style food menu & a full-bar menu, and bring your well behaved and leashed pup along (the hotel is also dog friendly!). The menu is full of favorites and the environment has warm tones.“

“Great place. TV’s along the bar. Great outdoor seating ( weather permitting)“

“This place is great! The food and service are exceptional. The wings are a must.“

“I missed all my friends at riggers and razzles bars in sumner Ave seaside hts nj ! I love to all my friends so much“

“Delicious. Nice atmosphere. 👏👏👏🍸🍸🍸🍷🍷🍷🥃🥃🥃“

“During my trip to New York, I came here every morning for the best milkshakes—especially for just $3?! That kind of deal doesn’t even exist in Europe! Absolutely amazing.

On top of that, the staff were incredibly friendly and hardworking, making the experience even better. They also serve delicious ham and cheese sandwiches at an equally great price.

If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Great food, great prices, and a great way to start your day!“

“I highly recommend Hemingways it's good food and great music“

“This place is always busy but never lacking in service, staff is always pleasant and everything is always clean
It’s become a weekly date night, food is good and you don’t have to go far and spend too much to have a good meal and spend some time out“

“There is no reason this restaurant should not be five star! We eat here all of the time, and the food is 100% perfect every time. Perfectly cooked fish, a huge variety of menu items, great cocktails, and live entertainment. Not to mention its waterfront. We absolutely love this Gem of a restaurant, and think you will too! Great for vegetarians and gluten free diners, too“
